Nangong Muyun, who had already left the Prime Minister's Residence, felt helpless and wanted to laugh when he saw Ye Qingwan's complaints.

You said Ye Qingwan can hardly save her own head, and she still has time to pity me?

I don't know whether to say she is stupid or heartless.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Residence, he did not return to the Ninth Prince's Palace immediately, but went to the Liu Mansion first.

Liu Sheng didn't seem surprised by his arrival, and even prepared tea and snacks for him, as if he had been waiting here since early morning.

"How did you know I would come?" The Ninth Prince asked Liu Sheng in confusion. Liu Sheng held the Jinyiwei in his hand. You know, it's not difficult for him to return to Beijing. But after he returns to Beijing, the probability of him coming to Liu Mansion first is zero.

Liu Sheng said calmly, "The Ninth Prince and the Seventh Princess have always had a deep relationship. Now that something has happened to the Seventh Princess, the Prince must be extremely worried."

"I am so anxious that I went to the palace to see my father, not to find you." The Ninth Prince exposed him without any hesitation.

Seeing him like this, Liu Sheng didn't keep him in suspense and said straight to the point: "I am willing to cooperate with the prince to find the real murderer as soon as possible and avenge the seventh princess."

In this matter, their goals were the same, and cooperation was human nature. But the Ninth Prince felt that Liu Sheng had something else in mind: "Is it just for my Seventh Sister?"

Liu Sheng smiled and refilled his tea: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"I think you did it for Ye Qingwan." The Ninth Prince said without any reservation.

It was rare for Liu Sheng to not speak in an official tone. He raised his sharp eyes and looked at the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince also looked back at Liu Sheng. As far as he could remember, it was rare for Liu Sheng to look someone in the eye like this.

Generally speaking, no matter what the occasion, Liu Sheng always keeps his eyes downcast with a smile on his lips, giving people the feeling that he appears humble and gentle on the surface, but is stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Today was a rare occasion for Liu Sheng to express his innermost desires so blatantly in front of others.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you." The Ninth Prince readily agreed to his request: "What do you want me to do?"

Liu Sheng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip: "This matter was caused by His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, so it must be settled by His Royal Highness Prince Xiang."

"You want to overthrow King Xiang?" The Ninth Prince was surprised. He thought that he just wanted to use Xia Xuejian as a scapegoat. He didn't expect that he would be so bold as to target King Xiang right away.

"It's not really a downfall. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang was originally stationed in the south. Now I just want to send him back, which is not a rebellious act." After saying that, he asked back, "Ninth Prince, what do you think?"

The Ninth Prince smiled coldly: "This is naturally the best. Sooner or later, one of me and my elder brother will be eliminated. Now that Master Liu is willing to help me, I naturally want it more than I can."

"It's just that this prince is a little surprised. Master Liu has never participated in the fight for the throne and has only been loyal to my father. But now he suddenly stands on my side, which makes this prince a little flattered."

Liu Sheng looked past the Ninth Prince and moved to the pure white sky outside the door, revealing a nice smile: "People always change."

If Ye Qingwan knew that Liu Sheng had joined the Ninth Prince's camp, she would probably be so happy that she would fly away. Isn't this the main plot?

With the heroine's persistent persuasion, Liu Sheng finally joined the Ninth Prince's camp and began to help him win the throne. Everything fits perfectly with the original plot, without any setbacks.

How should we get Xia Xuejian out now?

She knew that Xia Xuejian must be involved in the Seventh Princess' death, but she had no evidence.

There is no evidence in the original novel. Xia Xuejian was almost wrongly killed and sentenced to death. All the girls in the Xia family were sent to the palace as slaves, and all the boys were exiled.

In the end, it was the Ninth Prince's earnest pleas and Liu Sheng's constant advice to the Emperor that saved Xia Xuejian from death, but she was expelled from Dayu and was never allowed to return to the capital again.

"Okay, didn't the emperor give this matter to Liu Sheng? Why are you worrying so much? Look at your face wrinkled from worrying. It's so ugly."

Ning Shaoqinghong poked her forehead and told her to go to bed quickly.

"You keep poking my head. Will you be responsible if I become stupid?"

Ye Qingwan grabbed his finger, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Ning Shaoqing let out a cry and quickly pulled his hand back: "You were born in the year of the dog, right?"

“Woof…Woof woof…Woof woof woof…” Ye Qingwan proved with her actions that she was born in the year of the dog and she would bite you.

Just as the two were making a fuss, there was a sudden loud "bang" in the distance, and then the ground was shaking.

Oh my god, there’s not going to be an earthquake, is there?

Was there an earthquake during the reign of Dayu?

Ye Qingwan was so scared that she quickly grabbed Honghong's hand and ran out. But when they ran out of the room, they saw a fire not far away, which lit up half the sky and almost illuminated half of the capital.

It wasn't an earthquake, it was something that exploded.

What exploded?

Ye Qingwan quickly searched for the original plot in her mind, and suddenly remembered, yes, it was the Ninth Prince’s private brothel.

The sacrificial ceremony had already been held, and it was not a festival, so no one in the capital would buy a large number of fireworks. So the private artillery house should not have been producing at this time. The sudden explosion without anyone producing was definitely man-made.

It’s Nangong Fusang!

The artillery room is under the jurisdiction of the government, and it is illegal for private individuals to produce it. In previous years, in order to make more money, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue secretly opened a private artillery room in the capital to produce fireworks during festivals and make huge profits.

In the original novel, the Ninth Prince did not know about this. The matter was only revealed after he knew that Nangong Fusang had detonated a private gun room, destroying the entire South Street, causing over a thousand deaths and injuries and countless property losses.

The emperor was furious about this. Not only did he raid the house of the Minister of Revenue, he also almost deposed the Ninth Prince and demoted him to a commoner.

The Ninth Prince knelt in front of the Emperor's palace gate for three days and three nights. He passed out from kneeling, but the Emperor did not even come out to see him.

In the end, it was the Tenth Prince who led the court officials who supported the Ninth Prince in a hunger strike at the palace gate to beg for mercy, and the Emperor reluctantly did not depose his son.

However, after this battle, the Ninth Prince was severely injured and no longer participated in state affairs. He stayed in his mansion all day long to reflect on his mistakes and was almost isolated from the throne.

Finally, it was because of a marriage alliance with a foreign country that he found an opportunity to reappear before the emperor.

What I mean is, Nangong Fusang is so cruel.

Not long after the private gun room exploded, the people around all ran out to watch. The originally quiet street became noisy and chaotic because of the soldiers and civilians rushing in from all directions to put out the fire.

"I'm going to rescue someone. You stay in the room and don't come out."

Ning Shaoqing said as he pressed her head, forced her back and stuffed her into the quilt.

The explosion was so large that the entire South Street was instantly engulfed in flames. It was now night time, and the people living on South Street were probably going to suffer heavy casualties.

Ning Shaoqing covered his mouth and nose, jumped a few times along the roof, and landed on South Street.

If you can save as many as you can, save one.
