He Jingheng looked at him coldly without saying a word, but one could tell the meaning of his eyes, which was: So what if I disobeyed you?
Emperor Tianshun's face turned pale. He Jingheng didn't look at him again and turned to the ruins.
"Sir, it's still a little dangerous here, please wait in the back!"
He Jingheng shook his head and continued walking towards the ruins.
"Prince!"
"He Jingheng, get back here!" Emperor Tianshun said angrily.
I thought that even if He Jingheng came back, he would move forward again, but he seemed to have not heard anything and continued to walk inside with firm steps.
Emperor Tianshun gritted his teeth. Even if Shang Ruoyi got into trouble in the palace, he could still shut up the Dingguo Palace accidentally. If He Jingheng got into trouble again, he was afraid that the Dingguo Palace would really rebel.
At this time, Prince Ding and his wife got the news that Shang Ruoyi was murdered in the palace, and they rode their horses without stopping to rush to the palace.
When the two of them arrived, there were already hundreds of palace guards lying around He Jingheng, including several highly skilled secret guards.
These secret guards are all around the emperor. They are certainly very skilled, but they are still no match for He Jingheng.
Today he was really ruthless, and anyone who dared to step forward to stop him was beaten half to death by him.
Concubine Zhao exclaimed when she saw this: "Your Majesty, this Prince Ding has gone crazy! He actually did such a rebellious thing in the palace. He is rebelling! Rebellion!"
"Shut up." Emperor Tianshun whispered, "The Dingguo Palace is different from other noble families. If you really anger them, the consequences will be unimaginable. What are you, a harem woman, doing here talking so much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him came over and said, "My Lady, please go to the side hall to rest first. The smoke is heavy here, don't let it get to you."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of imposing a severe punishment, Concubine Zhao had to leave, although she was unwilling to do so.
Just after He Jingheng knocked down the last guard, he turned around and continued walking inside.
"Jingheng." Prince Ding and Princess Ding walked forward quickly and saluted Emperor Tianshun: "Your Highness."
Princess Ding walked directly to the ruins. At this moment, a large wooden board fell down and was about to hit Princess Ding.
"Princess, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, He Jingheng hurriedly flew forward and took his mother away.
"Jingheng." Princess Ding grabbed his arm. Just when everyone thought she was worried about He Jingheng, she said, "Where's Ruoyi? Where's Ruoyi?"
"I didn't find her."
They all knew that the Lanqing Palace had become a ruin. If Shang Ruoyi had not escaped at that time, she would have been burned to death and there would be no chance of survival.
"Yes! Yes!" Princess Ding's hands trembled: "How could she die?"
"I believe it too." He Jingheng looked at the ruins. At this moment, a screen caught his attention. The screen was made of jade, so it was not damaged.
I saw a few familiar marks on it. If you look closely, you will feel that something hit it and left a mark.
Just then, he suddenly remembered the graphic code she had learned when she trained Suzaku.
"The clouds are rising!"
"It belongs to you."
Yunqi walked quickly to his side, and when he saw the sign, ๋๋'s eyes lit up.
He lowered his voice and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is fine."
He Jingheng's anxious heart was finally at ease, but he didn't show it on his face.
Just then, Concubine Zhao walked out from the side hall.
Hesitantly, he said, "Yes, it is me. If I had called her to talk, this would have happened."
He Jingheng said in a cold voice: "I really know what the queen wants to say to my wife." At this point, he was no longer willing to hide anything and did not care about face: "The royal concubine has always been on good terms with our Dingguo Palace. The queen, don't say that you feel that you are compatible with Ruoyi. It's okay to coax a three-year-old child, but the minister is already three years old."
Concubine Zhao looked a little unhappy.
She didn't expect that he would do this for a woman and even care about the face of the Tian family. Was she afraid that the emperor would be furious and punish the Dingguo Palace?
"Have you found the cause of the fire?" the emperor said in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty, this morning, the Imperial Concubine said that the palace was a little hot, so she asked a few servants to carry some charcoal. The eunuchs saw that the charcoal fire was out, so they lazily moved to the side window. However, the charcoal fire in the Imperial Concubine's palace was all silver charcoal. Even when the charcoal was ignited, you could only feel the heat. When you saw the flames, the charcoal basin ignited the curtains by the window, and sparks fell on the palace. To prevent insects from infesting, the Imperial Concubine's palace was painted with special tung oil some time ago. If this tung oil is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will catch fire. Unfortunately, the sky has been cloudy in the past few days, and the tung oil floats on the surface. The whole palace will instantly become a sea of โโfire."
Princess Ding cried even harder when she heard this. She was already heartbroken to know that she had been murdered, and it was even more difficult to accept such a tragic death. She fainted.
Upon seeing this, Prince Ding hurriedly sent Princess Ding back to the palace.
He Jingheng did not leave, but continued to search. After several days, he had searched the ruins thoroughly but could not find any clues.
Concubine Zhao stood in the distance, watching the busy guards in Lanqing Palace, and whispered, "Bixi, is there still no news about the killer from Southern Xinjiang?"
"My queen, not yet." Bixi said softly, "My queen, has the killer been burned to death?"
"Humph, I was going to let him die here anyway." Concubine Zhao sneered, "How dare a mere assassin ask me for so much money? Why should I spare his life? Besides, he is an assassin, not a death warrior. He knows my identity, which means I have an extra handle in his hand. In this case, I will definitely not let him live."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Concubine Zhao sneered: "When I become truly above ten thousand, I will take action on this day. Before that, I will eliminate all those who pose a threat to me." The corners of her lips curled slightly, her eyes full of greed.
"Your Majesty said so. The Princess of Prince Ding knows how to show respect. If she is willing to serve you, you will certainly treat her badly."
Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, I gave her face, but she wanted it! She even threatened me with the fetus in her belly, so I had no choice but to take her life. After all, only death can truly keep the secret."
Bixi's pupils shrank when she heard this. She had done so many things for her, would there be a day when the Queen would also silence her?
"The prince summoned you to the East Palace recently. What did he say?" She whispered, "Watch your mouth. Do you understand?"
