Chapter 158: Fire in the Palace

"I love you so much, why do you do this? You don't even want to have a child?" Prince Yu's face seemed to be covered with frost.

The princess sneered, "Because I hate you!"

Prince Yu was surprised: "Hate me?"

The princess paused, as if she had made some important decision, and let out a long breath, "Okay, I'll just make it clear with you today."

"Back then, I was in love with the son of my father's colleague, and my parents knew it. We were going to get engaged soon."

"But at this time, you happened to meet me at the Lantern Festival and came to my house to propose marriage."

"My parents saw that you were a prince, so they didn't dare to disobey and agreed immediately."

"And he, drinking to relieve his sorrow, got drunk all day long. Once he was drunk and rode a horse, he fell off the horse's back, and the horse broke both legs and became a cripple."

At this point, the princess' voice was choked with sobs.

"Then why didn't your family tell you?" Prince Yu looked painful.

The princess sneered, "Why don't you say it? Your Highness Prince Yu, do you really not know?"

Then, she shouted hysterically, "Because you are the arrogant and domineering Sixth Prince, they dare not do it at all. They are afraid that if you know his existence, you will be angry with both families and bring disaster to both families!"

Prince Yu seemed to have lost his spirit and fell down on the chair.

"So, you always give me a bad face and whip me whenever you are unhappy? Are you taking revenge on me?"

The princess laughed loudly, "Yes! You stupid thing, you just know it?"

"How I wish you could gradually get tired of me and divorce me?"

Prince Yu clenched his fists tightly and beat his thighs hard, but he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Suddenly, he shuddered. He looked at the princess and asked, "My arm, is it you too?"

The princess showed a sinister smile: "Yes, it was me! What a pity, you are so lucky that I didn't kill you in one hit, only an arm was broken."

The princess took two steps forward, grabbed the collar of Prince Yu, and said viciously: "The pain of your broken arm is not even one ten-thousandth of his pain of disability?!"

Prince Yu looked at the princess in disbelief. She had always been gentle, but now she was crazy like a lunatic.

"Lan Xin, if you really don't want to stay with me, you can just tell me, we can get divorced, and you can go find him, why use such a vicious method!"

The princess glared at Prince Yu viciously: "It's too late, everything is too late. He is already dead."

"Since we can't stay with him, let's destroy each other together!"

The princess laughed almost crazily.

Prince Yu was frightened by the princess's appearance for a moment.

The princess strode forward, opened the door, pushed her personal maid out, then closed the door and tied her up inside.

"What are you going to do?" Prince Yu was a little scared.

The princess did not say anything, and took out a bottle of lamp oil from the cabinet, and without hesitation, sprinkled it on the floor and bed.

"Xinlan, what are you going to do?!" Prince Yu stood up in astonishment.

The princess picked up the oil lamp on the table and threw it on the bed.

The open flame met the bed soaked in lamp oil, and a fire broke out instantly.

"Hahahahaha! Let's destroy it together!" The princess stood in the fire with her arms raised high, laughing wildly.

"Help! Help! There's a fire!" Prince Yu shouted wildly.

He turned to open the door, but found that the princess had not only bolted the door when he was not paying attention, but also locked it with a thin iron chain.

"Hahahahaha! Your Highness Prince Yu, you'd better wait to be burned to death! Today I will let you taste the pain."

"Die in pain and forgive his sins!"

The princess laughed wildly and danced her waist in the flames.

The flames burned her dress, and in an instant, her whole body was on fire, like a moving fireball.

She finally couldn't dance anymore and let out a shrill scream.

"Yulang, I'm here to avenge you!" The princess shouted wildly, enduring the pain of being burned by the flames, and opened her arms to rush towards Prince Yu.

Prince Yu huddled by the door, his eyes wide open in fear, his body shaking uncontrollably.

If he was caught by this crazy woman, he would be doomed.

At this moment, there was a "bang", and Prince Yu's confidant kicked the door open and carried Prince Yu out.

At this time, the house was already a sea of ​​fire.

The housekeeper had already learned about the fire and ordered the servants to bring water to put out the fire.

Half an hour later, the fire was put out. The several houses where the princess lived had been burned to ruins, and the princess had been burned to charcoal. The

next morning, the Prince Yu's mansion caught fire in the middle of the night. The news that the Princess Yu was unfortunately burned to death was reported to Xia Zhengqi by Jingzhao Yin.

Kunning Palace.

Xia Zhengqi sat in the house with a worried look on his face.

"Ruoyu, why did the Prince of Yu's Mansion catch fire out of nowhere? And only the princess was burned to death?"

[What? The Prince of Yu's Mansion caught fire? And the princess was burned to death?]

Xia Miaoyuan was squatting on the ground, feeding Xiaojuzi and Maomao fruits. When she heard that the Prince of Yu's Mansion was on fire, she stood up in surprise. Xia Zhengqi

glanced at his daughter and whispered in the Queen's ear: "Do you think that after the Prince of Yu learned the truth, he killed his wife in a rage?!"

The Queen shook her head: "The Prince of Yu doesn't seem like someone who can do such a thing."

Xia Zhengqi stood up anxiously and paced.

"If Your Majesty is really worried, why not ask the Prince of Yu in person and take a look at the fire situation." The Queen suggested gently.

"Okay, let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion now."

Half an hour later, Emperor Mingxi, the Empress, and Xia Miaoyuan arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion.

The mansion was dead silent.

Prince Yu seemed to have lost his soul, and fell on the couch, completely listless.

Xia Zheng allowed him to talk to him on the couch, while he and the Empress sat beside him.

"Prince Yu, what happened?"

At first, Prince Yu said it was an accident. Xia Zhengqi questioned why only the princess was burned to death, and then asked why only a few of the princess' rooms were burned.

Prince Yu was asked no more questions, so he told the truth.

"My confidant found that the princess buried medicine residue in the backyard every day, and became suspicious. When they dug it out, they found that it was contraceptive medicine. I went to question her in a rage, and she told me that

she just didn't want to have a child for me." "She also said that she had a lover in the past, but it was because I proposed to her that I broke them up. The lover was frustrated, drank and rode a horse and fell off, becoming disabled."

"The lover died later. She set the house on fire and wanted to burn herself."

[Wow! Such a weak princess actually has such a big melon on her body! ? ] Xia Miaoyuan bit her finger excitedly.

"So, the princess died by self-immolation?" Xia Zhengqi asked coldly.

"That's right." Prince Yu lowered his eyes and nodded.

"But, at the morning court today, some officials have already insinuated that you deliberately murdered your wife." Xia Zhengqi frowned.
