"Princess?"
Xiruo raised her head in confusion.
Fei Wan sighed: "Let them go."
General Hua was framed by Xiao Heng and it was Fei Wan who rescued him.
General Hua did not want to participate in the court struggle anymore, so he chose to resign from his official position, willingly handed over the tiger talisman, and retired with his sister.
This time they came to see her to say goodbye to her. There were many people in the palace, and it was not appropriate to leave the palace until it was too late. It was also for their own good.
It’s a pity, I guess we won’t see it again in the future.
Xi Ruo understood Fei Wan's meaning. She pursed her lips and left without saying anything else.
Fei Wan frowned and continued to write on the paper.
Previously, the commander of the imperial guards could be deceived by using the excuse of flood. If the news of Xiao Heng's death was not announced for a long time, the commander of the imperial guards would probably become suspicious.
Now that I have the tiger talisman in my hand, I can use force when necessary.
This is just the worst option. We need to think of a perfect solution.
But what Fei Wan didn't expect was that something unexpected happened in the palace again.
"Princess, it's bad, there's a fire in Zhaoyue Palace."
Xiruo ran in hurriedly, out of breath.
She had just been sent by Fei Wan to reply, and when she came back she saw all the palace people heading towards Zhaoyue Palace.
Fei Wan told Xiruo to keep an eye on the movements of Zhaoyue Palace. Now that something big had happened in Zhaoyue Palace, she naturally had to come and report it.
Fei Wan paused his pen, distracted slightly by the news, leaving some ink stains on the rice paper.
Fei Wan is not really familiar with the people living in Zhaoyue Palace.
Fei Wan had only met her once, but Fei Wan used her identity at the beginning.
Princess Zhaoning, Xiao Heng's only unmarried sister.
This chance encounter happened after Xiao Heng's death. Fei Wan went to see her and told her the cause of Xiao Heng's death.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Fei Wan always sent people to watch Princess Zhaoning.
Her worries seemed unnecessary. After Princess Zhaoning learned the news, she never even left the palace.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Zhaoyue Palace caught fire.
When Fei Wan arrived at Zhaoyue Palace, the fire had been mostly extinguished.
The outside was still okay, but looking outside, the buildings inside had been burned beyond recognition.
Since Fei Wan didn't come, no one dared to act rashly.
After the fire was put out, Fei Wan asked the surrounding palace people to disperse and took the people she trusted with her to go in.
But the further you go in, the less optimistic the situation becomes.
There was no one in the courtyard in front of the palace. When I asked the palace servants passing by, none of them had seen anyone running out from here before.
If the palace caught fire, someone would come out to report it no matter what, but when the Zhaoyue Palace caught fire, it was other palace people who saw the fire and went to put it out.
Why... is it so strange?
Fei Wan asked people to push away the fallen wood, and a cloud of thick smoke rushed towards them. When it dissipated, a scene of purgatory on earth appeared before their eyes.
There are so many corpses...
There were also many bodies of palace servants lying by the door, seemingly trying to survive but unable to escape.
Fei Wan bent down and found something from the fallen wooden wreckage.
A lock.
It was slightly deformed by the fire, but you can still see its original shape.
Fei Wan looked over and saw that the corpses had been burned beyond recognition and could not be distinguished.
Xi Ruo looked at these scenes and looked away reluctantly: "How could this happen... Who would do such a thing?"
Someone locked the door and set the fire on purpose.
