Chapter 29 He Wants to Return to the Princess's Mansion
Feng Mian was not the only one who was shocked.
There are also subtitles that are frantically typing "?".
Although Feng Mian was shocked, he still followed the order and did it.
[Feng Mian seems a little excited? ]
[I noticed that too...]
So, a big fire broke out in the Xiao Mansion that night.
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
The servants of the Xiao Mansion hurriedly put out the fire.
Some people said that they saw an arsonist who poured a bucket of oil into the woodshed, set it on fire and ran away.
Even though the Xiao Mansion was full of experts, no one expected that the other party was really just here to set a fire.
Aren't you going to assassinate him?
So the masters didn't react at all.
I thought it was an assassin, but he just set a fire and ran away.
Moreover, the other party is obviously an expert. If he slips away without getting entangled with them, they will not be able to keep him.
The next day, the news of the fire in the Xiao Mansion spread throughout the capital.
Someone actually dared to set fire to the Xiao Mansion. This was the first new thing in the court!
Everyone was secretly wondering who was so bold as to set fire to the Xiao Mansion.
Isn't this just being impatient with life?
They are also waiting for Commander Xiao to severely punish the evildoers!
I can't wait to see what will happen to this person who has the guts to set fire to the Xiao Mansion.
But a day passed.
But Master Xiao didn't react at all???
I haven't heard of any threat to catch the arsonist.
This surprised all the officials.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate that Lord Xiao must be planning something, but he just didn't show any reaction on the surface.
"Master Xiao must be thinking about how to cut the arsonist into pieces!"
"That's right, this is the first time, I'm really brave..."
"Hey? What do you think? Could it be Princess Zhaohua..."
"How is that possible! Princess Zhaohua may be vicious, but she's not the kind of thief who would steal or rob people!"
"That's right! How could it be Princess Zhaohua!"
…
Feng Mian followed Lin Zhaoyue's carriage through the palace gate. Hearing the officials talking, he covered his face, coughed lightly, and lowered his head slightly.
In contrast, Lin Zhaoyue in the carriage was calm, as if she didn't hear anything.
[That's right! How could it be Princess Zhaohua! (dog head)]
[Wow, wow! The princess is so calm! With that kind of attitude, what can't she accomplish?]
【Does anyone know why the princess set the fire? 】
[The situation is too small. Does the princess need a reason to set fire? ]
When Lu Chenzhou learned that the Xiao Mansion was on fire, he was even more gloating.
"It seems that someone has been unhappy with him for a long time. It's really retribution." He sneered.
When Chu Yinyin came over with the medicine, she heard Lu Chenzhou talking to his subordinates.
"Azhou..." she called out.
Lu Chenzhou then ordered his men to go out, "Go down."
Chu Yinyin came over, sat next to Lu Chenzhou, and smiled gently, "It looks like there's something happy going on."
Lu Chenzhou's gaze fell on Chu Yinyin's face for a moment, then he lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to say something.
But there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
Chu Yinyin smiled and didn't ask any questions, just fed him the medicine.
[My daughter is so considerate and kind to the male lead. Where can I find such a good girl?]
[That's right, how can that vicious female supporting character compare to our girl? The male lead should get a divorce right away! Don't delay it any longer!]
What's so good about Bai Yueguang? Can the male protagonist recognize his own heart? He has already fallen in love with our girl, okay?
Let's just let the young couple develop their relationship. Don't let the bad guys bully us young lovers.
"I want to go back to the princess's mansion." Lu Chenzhou finally said it.
Chu Yinyin's hand paused slightly, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Seeing Chu Yinyin crying, Lu Chenzhou's eyes also showed a trace of heartache.
He reached out to wipe away Chu Yinyin's tears and whispered:
"Yinyin, I know I've let you down. I didn't keep my promise to you... But, she's the person I've loved since childhood. I used to think she didn't love me, that she hated me... Now that I know she has feelings for me, how can I..."
Chu Yinyin's voice broke, her eyes misty with tears: "I understand... I shouldn't have shown up. I just look like the princess, so you only said those words to me and did those things because you mistook me for her... right?"
Lu Chenzhou's eyes darkened slightly, "No... no. I said, you two are different."
He said slowly and solemnly, "Don't worry, even if I'm still your husband, I will still protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you, not even her."
Chu Yinyin clenched her five fingers in her sleeves, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of hurt, "I understand, Azhou. It's okay..."
But...why?
Doesn't she get anything?
Doesn't all this belong to her?
Why did things change after Lin Zhaoyue returned to Beijing?
Chu Yinyin didn't understand.
He had clearly promised her a divorce when she was about to leave the capital that day...
Seeing Chu Yinyin's broken look, Lu Chenzhou lifted Chu Yinyin's chin with pity.
But this time, it was Chu Yinyin who took the initiative to kiss him.
The two of them kissed passionately and hugged each other.
He sighed softly.
"How can I bear to let you go like this..."
[My baby girl, please don’t love me too much. It makes me feel bad.]
[Kiss again! Ding! The girl and the hero kiss and check in! ]
[Do these two have to cuddle and chew each other all the time? The male protagonist, you dirty bastard, don't touch the princess.]
[Honestly, ever since I started to like the princess and the villain, I’ve lost interest in the male and female protagonists biting each other.]
[Who asked you if you feel anything? If you don’t, don’t bother asking.]
[Hero, please, please leave Princess Huo Huo as soon as possible, okay? ]
[Who is to blame? If it weren't for Lin Zhaoyue, the heroine would have already had a legitimate status, okay? It's all Lin Zhaoyue's fault! She tortured my daughter to death!]
Imperial Palace.
"I heard that a big fire broke out in the Xiao Mansion last night, burning several rooms. Do you know about this?" The emperor asked while reviewing memorials.
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled up slightly, "I've heard a little bit about this. I guess Lord Xiao's words and deeds have offended many enemies."
The emperor looked at her with a hint of suspicion, "You, really don't know?"
It’s not that he doubts his daughter, but in the entire court, except for his daughter, no one else has the courage to do so.
Even though he felt that his daughter would not likely commit murder or arson.
Zhao Yue raised an eyebrow, "Father, how could I know what you said?"
The emperor withdrew his gaze and did not ask any further questions. "Then I'm afraid that Lord Xiao must have provoked some enemy, otherwise he wouldn't have resorted to such means."
Xiao Tingye does have many enemies, but setting fire to a house is indeed a bit outrageous.
After saying this, the emperor also finished approving the memorial.
"Two days ago, Concubine Chun held a welcoming banquet for you in the palace. I had originally planned to go, but since most of the guests were younger, I was afraid you would be too reserved, so I didn't go. However, I did hear some of what happened that day." He looked at Lin Zhaoyue. "What Concubine Chun did at your welcoming banquet was indeed inappropriate. I have revoked some of her power in the palace and distributed it to other concubines. It should serve as a warning."
Zhao Yue clasped his hands together and bowed, "Thank you, Father, for making this decision for me."
The emperor looked at her, a smile on his lips. "What's the point of calling the shots? This was all part of your plan, wasn't it? Now you've become so bold that you even dare to plot against your father."
There was a bit of majesty in the tone of pretended anger, which made Zhao Yue's greeting last a little longer.
"I dare not." She paused, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, "This is exactly what Father wants."
