Chapter 612: Fenglingyuan Fire
Chapter 612: Fenglingyuan Fire
Fu Ling took out a curse-breaking talisman and stuck it on his body. Originally, there was no one beside the man in black, but now there was one more person. The other person was wearing a green camouflage uniform, which highlighted his convenience and capability.
Who else but Lu Beichen could be dressed like this? Before he could even come forward to say hello, he and the man in black disappeared before his eyes.
Uh, okay, she understood that she was invisible, so it was understandable that no one noticed her.
Then her eyes were drawn to the mourning hall, which was already heavily surrounded. The concubines were terrified, fearing that the murderer's next target would be her. She could even hear noisy crying and screaming.
Soon, one of the princes stood up. He calmly took charge of the situation, and the scene gradually stabilized from the initial panic. However, the people present were like frightened rabbits, and would become very nervous at the slightest disturbance.
Before leaving, Fu Ling read the memory of that prince. He was a prince who got things done, but in the mind of the king of Li, princes with independent ideas were excluded first. What he wanted was a puppet emperor who had no ambitions and could be controlled in his hands.
Then the first crown prince appeared. With his virtue, it was impossible for him to sit on this position. The country of Li had no queen so far. If he truly loved someone, he would not be reluctant to give her the position of queen. From the beginning to the end, he loved himself the most.
After returning to the Prince's Palace, Fu Ling found the storehouse. However, the storehouse of the Dog Prince was unique. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, the most common items in it were erotic pictures.
Not only that, there was a large wooden box filled with pornographic books. Fu Ling curiously flipped through a few pages and was shocked. Did the ancients know how to play so well? Then he quietly put the pornographic books into his space...
After cleaning up the warehouse, thinking that Lu Beichen should be interrogating the man in black at this moment, he did not disturb him but went straight back to Prince Gen's Mansion.
Not long after she lay down and was feeling a little sleepy, she heard a noisy noise outside and smelled something burning.
She jumped up from the bed and saw that Feng Lingyuan was already on fire.
By the time she came out dressed, the fire had been brought under control.
"Lu Liang, what's going on?" When he came out, he saw Lu Liang directing the firefighting. Fu Ling called him over to ask about the situation.
"Cough..." Lu Liang inhaled a lot of smoke while fighting the fire, and now he was coughing because of choking.
"Your Highness, someone broke into Prince Gen's mansion and sprinkled kerosene on the wall of Fengling Garden, setting the courtyard on fire. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the fire was under control. It's a pity that Your Highness was frightened."
Fu Ling frowned. This time the anger was obviously directed at her. She had only been in Xuanyuan for a few days, and the only person who had a grudge against her should be that person. But how did she do it this time? All the informants in the mansion had been arrested, so it couldn't be someone in the mansion. It could only be that someone sneaked in and committed the crime.
"Has the arsonist been caught? Where is my brother? Where did he go?"
Lu Liang lowered his head in shame and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for not catching the arsonist. He was very skilled in Qinggong and escaped after setting the fire."
"Okay, don't take it to heart. It just means the murderer is too cunning."
Lu Liang felt relieved and immediately answered Fu Ling's question: "Your Highness, the master has gone to the manor."
"Okay, I understand." Seeing the fire was put out, Fu Ling turned around and prepared to go back to the room.
"Your Highness, this place is no longer habitable. Please stay in Qingfeng Garden first. I will find someone to clean it up."
Fu Ling thought about it and finally agreed to Lu Liang's proposal.
Lu Liang was worried that arson would happen again, so he arranged patrols around Qingfeng Garden. At the same time, he sent people to the manor to inform Xuanyuan Gen of what happened tonight. The arson was a serious incident and was aimed at the princess, so he, a servant, could not handle it at all.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Xuanyuan Gen arranged accommodation for the girls and invited a famous doctor to treat them. He should have rested after the arrangements, but his right eye kept twitching. He always felt that something was going to happen tonight.
As expected, the guards in the mansion rushed to the manor at full speed. When they learned that Fengling Garden was on fire, Xuanyuan Gen rushed out before the guards could finish their words.
However, when he returned to Prince Gen's Mansion, it was already an hour later.
He finally felt relieved when he learned that Fu Ling was resting in Qingfeng Garden. Then he became furious: "Lu Liang, what's going on?"
Lu Liang then told Xuanyuan Gen the whole story about the fire. He was so angry that he slammed the table, using all his strength. A moment later, the table broke into pieces. "Investigate! I want to know who dared to come to Prince Gen's mansion and commit such a crime!"
"I have sent people to search, but the arsonist has not been caught yet." Lu Liang was shocked by the scene just now. He did not expect that the master would be so strong. It also shows how important the princess is in the master's heart.
He had just been out for a short time when such a thing happened in the mansion. He felt so guilty that he couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, when Fu Ling woke up, she saw Xuanyuan Gen sitting alone in the courtyard. She walked over to him and greeted him as if nothing had happened: "Good morning!"
Xuanyuan Gen's eyes were filled with fatigue and guilt, and he didn't dare to look at Fu Ling.
"Myna, what's wrong with you?"
"Ling'er, I'm sorry for scaring you." Xuanyuan Gen's voice was hoarse.
Fu Ling finally understood why he had that expression: "Hey, seeing your expression I thought something was wrong, it turns out it's because of this...By the way, Big Brother, you didn't stay up all night because of this, did you?"
When he saw those two panda eyes, Fu Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Your style is quite unique. It looks a lot like an animal called a panda in our country."
"Ling'er, seeing you can still joke makes me feel relieved. Do you know how anxious I was when I heard about the fire at Fengling Garden? If anything happened to you, how would I explain it to Beichen?"
"I'm fine. Did you forget I have a protective amulet on me? Even if I'm surrounded by flames, as long as I'm awake, I can escape unscathed. Don't feel guilty. This isn't your fault. If someone wants to harm me, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. If you don't fear thieves, then keep them in your thoughts."
Xuanyuan Gen said firmly, "Don't worry, Ling'er. I won't let anyone hurt you. I will find those who want to hurt you and avenge you."
"There's already some clues in Luliang. The other party is probably from the underworld."
There are several very famous killer organizations in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, which were founded by people from the underworld and are full of desperate criminals.
"A man of Jianghu?" Fu Ling was very interested in this so-called man of Jianghu.
"Yes, there are several well-known assassination organizations in the martial arts world. Lu Liang found out that someone in the Dark Night Pavilion spent 100,000 taels to hire a killer to kill you."
"If you're here to kill me, why did you choose to set fire? Wouldn't it be better to just sneak in and kill me?"
