Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 11 Misunderstanding
When the moon passed the middle of the sky, a fire burst into the sky, and in the wanton burning teahouse, there was the sound of swords piercing into flesh and blood.
About a quarter of an hour later, the owner of the cloth shop got up in the middle of the night and went to the hut. He saw the big fire in a daze, and thought it was someone who set off the firecrackers in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until the sparks next door jumped onto his hands that he was shocked: it was on fire!

The neighborhood is surrounded by shops, and the teahouse caught fire for no reason. Everyone who was asleep woke up one after another. Some rushed out barefoot to fight the fire without even wearing shoes.

Fu Mingjue stood in the corner, and coldly glanced at Xuan Yuwei who had just escaped from the fire: "Who told you to set the fire?"

"Master, it wasn't the subordinates who set the fire," said the one with scorched hair.

Another person whose clothes were burnt answered, "It was the warehouse guards who wanted to destroy the ordnance, so they set it on fire."

The other Xuanyu guards nodded accordingly.

Fu Mingjue glanced at the people rushing to put out the fire one after another, and asked, "Have you notified the commander of the five cities' troops and horses?"

"It has been notified, and it should be here soon." One of them replied.

At this time, Jiang Liu escorted the shopkeeper who was tied up by Wuhua Da: "My lord, this man is very stubborn, and he wants to commit suicide by taking poison. This subordinate removed his jaw."

The shopkeeper never expected that Fu Mingjue would kill him in the middle of the night. It seems that the reason why he came to the teahouse during the day was because he had already sensed something was wrong.

Fu Mingjue raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Are you surprised to see me?"

The other party's jaw was removed, so of course it was impossible to speak.

Fu Mingjue smiled: "You will be even more surprised when you meet that person."

Then he ordered: "Send the person to Dali Temple and let Gu Baiyan have a good trial."

Jiang Liu was taken aback: "My lord, don't you want to interrogate yourself?"

After working for so long, you want to hand over the credit to others?

Jiang Liu didn't understand.

Swapping ordnance is a felony, if the prince hadn't been astute and discovered something strange, if those ordnance were sent to Liangzhou, it might cause chaos.

Fu Mingjue said solemnly: "This king is tired and doesn't want to interrogate."

Jiang Liu: "."

In fact, he can do it for him.

Fu Mingjue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Why don't you help me write the memorial together?"

"My subordinates dare not."

Jiang Liu was sweating secretly, how many people can imitate the prince's handwriting?
A fire burned down the teahouse to nothing but an empty shelf. No one knew exactly how the fire started, but the government led people to surround the teahouse and carried out several corpses covered with white cloths.

The owner of the cloth shop who was the first to discover the fire last night thought about it all night, and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a group of dark shadows walking through the chaos last night.

He slapped his thigh and told his wife about it, and then when his daughter-in-law went out to buy vegetables, she told the aunt next door about it.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

In the end, the rumors became more and more mysterious, and it was said that the owner of the teahouse had an enmity with others. The enemy came to the door and set fire to the teahouse in the middle of the night.

When Lubao happened to pass by and heard this, he was terrified: Didn't the princess come to this teahouse yesterday?

Lu Bao hurried back to the palace, and as soon as she entered the Lanhui courtyard, she started to shout: "Princess, it's not good!"

Yinzhu was so startled by her sound that she almost stuck the embroidery needle into her finger, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Ling Youyao looked up from the desk: "Fu Mingjue is here?"

"My lord, my lord." Lu Bao ran out of breath, "I didn't come."

Ling Youyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you so anxious if you didn't come?"

"No, princess!" Lu Bao said calmly, "Do you still remember the teahouse you and Miss Shen went to yesterday?"

Ling Youyao thought for a while and replied, "Well, what's wrong?"

Lu Bao lowered her voice and said nervously: "That teahouse was burned!"

"What?" Ling Youyao paused, and the brush smeared a mass of ink stains on the rice paper.

Yinzhu put down the embroidery frame and asked, "How did you burn it?"

Lu Bao told Ling Youyao verbatim the rumors she heard outside.

After listening, Ling Youyao frowned deeper and deeper. She only went to the teahouse in the afternoon and was burned at night?
And someone set fire on purpose
This had to make her wonder whether the accident was related to herself.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Youyao hesitated and said, "The prince didn't seem angry yesterday, did he?"

Lu Bao said seriously: "It seems not."

Yinzhu also replied: "Probably not."

Ling Youyao: "."

It's the same as saying nothing!
After Fu Mingjue sent her back yesterday, he didn't show anything special, except for the phrase "resentment".
Ling Youyao was a little bored, holding a pen and writing randomly on the paper, and the things written before were also randomly covered.

The two maids looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

After being silent for a while, Ling Youyao suddenly put down her pen and said, "I'll go to the main courtyard to have a look."

Instead of sitting still, take the initiative.

Lubao accompanied Ling Youyao to the main courtyard.

Yinzhu sighed, tidied up the things on the desk, and when she saw the crooked "resentful spouse" all over the page, she was terribly surprised.

How much does the princess have to complain about this?

When Ling Youyao arrived at the main courtyard, Xia Cheng saw her from a distance.

"Is the princess here to look for the prince?"

Ling Youyao gave a "hmm" and asked back, "Is he not here?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Xia Cheng's face, he hesitated and said: "Princess, you came at an unfortunate time, the prince just left."

He then added: "Your Majesty called the prince into the palace, and he should be back before sunset."

"Oh" Ling Youyao lengthened the ending, obviously she still had something to say.

Xia Cheng immediately straightened his back, held his head high and said, "What else does the princess want?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask." Ling Youyao cleared her throat, "Did the prince stay in the room last night?"

As soon as she asked, she regretted it a little. If Fu Mingjue really wanted to burn down the teahouse, why did he go there by himself?You can send someone there.

But what Xia Cheng understood was: The princess is asking if the prince is looking for other women?
"Princess, don't worry, the lord has always kept himself clean, and you are the only mistress in the house." Xia Cheng said seriously.

Ling Youyao is dumb, when did she ask this?
The other party didn't realize that something was wrong, and continued: "Before you entered the house, there were not even maidservants in the house, only a few old nuns doing rough work."

"Okay," Ling Youyao interrupted him, "I know your lord is a clean man, and he doesn't even have a maid in his room."

Xia Cheng was shocked: "Princess, how did you know?" Even he didn't know about it.

Ling Youyao: "."

Of course she knew.

Although Fu Mingjue is cold-blooded, he is dedicated and never likes those vulgar fans.There were also people who gave Fu Mingjue a beautiful girl without knowing their life and death, and then the beauty turned into bones.

After this incident, those courtiers who tried to marry their daughters to Fu Mingjue stopped thinking.

How can such a vicious person be a good son-in-law?
