Ever since Su Lingxi set fire to Zhuangzi, Su Yuming had been completely disappointed in her, and never sent anyone to see her again, which seemed to be letting her fend for herself.

Perhaps because she knew that she had no way out, Su Lingxi finally calmed down, except that she would go to the back mountain to stay for an hour every day, and did nothing else.

At first, Aunt Zhang thought she was trying to escape, so she sent someone to follow her.Over time, when she found out that she was only going to pick fruits on the mountain, she let down her vigilance.Who would have thought that this would give Su Lingxi an opportunity to take advantage of.

It turned out that Su Lingxi went to the top of the mountain every day to find out the way back to Beijing.

She didn't have a pen and ink with her, so she could only take the needle and thread from Aunt Zhang's room, and ran to the top of the mountain every day to write down the big and small roads around her, and when she went back, she embroidered it on the inner jacket little by little.

After persisting like this for half a month, she finally figured out the way back to Beijing.

So, Su Lingxi took advantage of Aunt Zhang's inattention and stole the money she had hidden under the bed.In the dead of night, Zhuangzi was set on fire and escaped.

The fire started in the middle of the night, and Aunt Zhang's family was sound asleep. When they realized something was wrong, the fire had already reached their front.Before she had time to escape, the beam wrapped in raging fire fell on her body with a bang, and there was only a shrill scream from the fire, and there was no more words.

There was little rain this summer, and there was a severe drought in the north. The surging flames instantly surrounded the entire Zhuangzi.By the time the nearby villagers found out, Zhuangzi had been burned, and so were the people inside.

However, when the villagers cleaned up the scene, they only found the bodies of Aunt Zhang's family of five, and did not find Su Lingxi.

Everyone speculated that she most likely escaped, or that she set the fire.

When the news came back to the capital, Su Yuming was furious, and immediately sent someone out to find Su Lingxi, and he must be arrested.

However, this time, Su Lingxi was arrested not only by the Su family, but also by people from the government, because she was suspected of deliberately arson and murder.

After Ling Youyao learned about this, she was startled at first, then her face became heavy, and said: "Since she escaped, she will definitely return to the capital."

Fu Mingjue said, "I'm afraid she won't come back now."

"Why?"

"The fire was deliberately set off by someone, and this person is most likely Su Lingxi," he handed Ling Youyao the informant he sent today, "Now there are people chasing Su Lingxi everywhere in the city, if she wants to survive , I will definitely not choose to come back at this time."

Ling Youyao didn't expect Su Lingxi to be so bold, she just wanted to escape, but she set fire to kill five people?

"If she doesn't come back, where else can she go?"

"Of course there is nowhere to go," Fu Mingjue said mockingly in his eyes, "That Zhuangzi is still some distance away from the capital, and it would take her three days to get there if she wanted to go back to Beijing alone. What's more, there are people chasing her everywhere now, I guess she should be hiding outside the city right now."

He paused, and then said: "To be more precise, she should be waiting for someone from the Su family."

If Su Lingxi was caught by the government, even if she could avoid death, she would not be able to return to the Su family.Even though Su Yuming hated her extremely, the only thing she can count on now is the Su family.

After thinking for a while, Ling Youyao said: "Xiaoxiao sent someone to deliver a message this morning, asking me to meet in Xingwuyuan. Maybe she has something to tell me."

Xingwu Garden is the house where Mu Xiaoxiao used to live.

Fu Mingjue understood, so he said: "Remember to take Xia Cheng with you. I am going to visit Xuanyu Camp today. If there is anything to do, I will talk about it when I come back."

"I see."

Looking at her quiet eyes, Fu Mingjue was vaguely uneasy, but Ling Youyao said first: "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you, so you can go at ease."

Fu Mingjue stared at her, and said after a while, "Okay, be careful with everything."

"En!" Ling Youyao smiled, and after sending him out, the smile on her face gradually faded.

Yinzhu and Lubao were by her side, seeing her like this, Yinzhu couldn't help worrying: "Princess, are you really going to see Miss Mu?"

Ling Youyao looked at the direction where Fu Mingjue left, and sighed softly: "Yes, but before I go to see Xiaoxiao, I have to go to the Imperial Hospital."

Lu Bao was puzzled and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I've been feeling flustered lately, and I thought I should find a way to solve it," she turned and walked back, saying, "Let Xia Cheng and Zilan accompany me this time."

Yinzhu and Lubao looked at each other, but she said so, so they had no choice but to stay.

After Ling Youyao packed up, she took Zilan to the Imperial Hospital, while Xia Cheng stayed at the palace gate to wait.But unfortunately, Sun Fuzhi happened to be going to Yanfu Palace at this moment, Ling Youyao sat in the imperial hospital for a while, and left before he came back.

When Sun Fuzhi came back, he heard that Ling Youyao had come to look for him, he was suspicious, and asked: "Did the princess say what she wanted me for?"

The little eunuch replied: "The princess said that she has been flustered recently and wanted to see you, but you were not there at that time, and the princess sat for a while and then left."

"Did she say anything else?"

"No," the little eunuch shook his head, and suddenly remembered something, "That's right! The princess also asked the servant what are those bottles and jars you put on the table, and the servant said that they were all medicines developed by you. It is usually not easy for people to touch, and then the princess didn't say anything more."

Sun Fuzhi's heart froze, he hurriedly stepped into the pharmacy, and after carefully checking the medicines on the table, he couldn't help frowning.

The little eunuch was puzzled: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Sun Fuzhi pursed his lips and said nothing.The bottle of medicine she took away was named Yinzhen, and it was one of the top ten poisons in the world.But Sun Fuzhi didn't understand, there were so many good medicines on the table, why did Ling Youyao take a bottle of poison?
Who is she going to poison?

The sun at noon is the most venomous, and even the wind is scorching hot.Ling Youyao closed her eyes slightly, pinching the small porcelain bottle, not knowing what to think.

Zi Lan tentatively said: "Princess, this medicine is extremely poisonous, you want it."

"Zi Lan," Ling Youyao interrupted her, opened her eyes and looked at her, "Have you stayed in Xuanyu Camp before?"

She shook her head: "Xuanyu camp is full of men, not to mention that the assessment there is too strict, you can't get in with the skills of slaves, but slaves have practiced with Jiangzhou and the others before, so it is absolutely no problem to protect you."

"Then who is stronger between you and Xia Cheng?" Ling Youyao asked again.

Speaking of this, Zi Lan said confidently: "You don't think the servant is a woman, but that kid Xia Cheng can't beat the servant."

Ling Youyao looked at her beaming face, and couldn't help but bend her lips: "I knew I was right."

The carriage drove across Long Street and finally stopped at Tsing Yi Lane.

Seeing Ling Youyao coming, Mu Xiaoxiao walked up quickly, with an indescribably solemn expression: "Youyao, you've come."

Ling Youyao walked in with her arm, and asked: "But the matter I asked you to investigate has the result?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly, and it was precisely because of this that she was so anxious to see Ling Youyao.
