Fortune Princess

Chapter 97 Mountain Fire
Xiao Yichen sent Fu Qingyu and Jing Yi out of the palace. The atmosphere along the way was very dull. The guards followed cautiously, and they all saw that the gentle Highness the Crown Prince was now full of hostility. They were afraid that something might go wrong and the master would lose his life .

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Hou's Mansion, Fu Qingyu saw Xiao Yichen's hesitation to speak, so he got out of the carriage first, and when Jing Yi followed, he was held back by Xiao Yichen.

"Jing Yi, I..." I don't know where to start with my stomach full of words.

Jing Yi looked at him, and suddenly felt relieved that Xiao Yichen cared so much about his reputation. Naturally, the friends around the prince should not be stained. Maybe someone would use this to make a big fuss, such as when Xiao Yichen made friends carelessly?
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for sending us back, so we don't have to leave." Jing Yi still called His Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Yichen angrily, got off the carriage swiftly, and entered the Hou's mansion like a gust of wind.

Looking at the closed door, Xiao Yichen lowered the curtain with a heartbroken heart, "Let's go." His voice was as cold as ice.

"Yes." Rong Hui hurriedly responded, thinking in his heart that His Highness the Crown Prince was still looking forward to Mr. Jing Yi's lifting of the restraint, why did he still ignore him after seeing him?
Master, how can Mr. Jing Yi know your mind like this?Rong Hui, who was eating melons at the side, was almost dying of anxiety for his master. What happened to the methods he used to deal with those Yingyingyanyans in the past?

The matter of Baixianglou being turned into ashes overnight has not yet been found out. A hill not far from the outskirts of Beijing suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. Because the hill was covered with forests, the fire spread quickly.Many farmers at the foot of the mountain were the first to notice it. When they went out to look, the mountain was already ablaze with smoke billowing.

There are many animals on the mountain. In addition to farming, the farmers at the foot of the mountain will occasionally go hunting on the mountain, catching some hares, pheasants, etc. to make tooth sacrifices for the family, or sell them in the city to supplement the family.

The fire was fierce and fierce, and there was no chance to fight the fire. Although the farmers felt sorry for their houses and property, their lives were at stake. Under the organization of the village chief, they evacuated quickly, fearing that the fire would spread to the village and cause casualties.

The fire burned for a day and a night, until all the burning things on the mountain were burned, and there was no sign of extinguishing it.As expected by the village chief, the fire reached the foot of the mountain, and many trees were burned and broken, and some fell on the houses of the farmers. With the help of the wind, most of the village was destroyed.

The farmers living at the foot of the mountain are relatively poor, and they usually build thatched houses. Even if they use stones, they will use thatch to cover the roof. A little spark can quickly burn and spread.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and there were no casualties. However, the houses of many farmers were burned down, and the only rice grain left was reduced to ashes. After all, it is not a long-term solution.

This matter was spread all over the capital, and Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to hide it, so he reported the fire truthfully in a memorial, and asked the emperor to let the household department allocate money to settle the people.

"Fire fell from the sky?" Xiao Qixing sneered after reading the memorial. There has been no thunder and lightning in the past few days, so what can make a mountain burn down?
He was being disturbed by Huo Ting's noise, and he was even more angry when he saw such a nonsense memorial.

"That's how my servants do their jobs. They just want to get away with saying that there's a big fire coming from the sky? It's unreasonable!" Throwing the memorial, the little eunuch who was waiting beside him didn't dare to breathe.

Xiao Qixing looked at Huo Ting, who was dying beside him, and suddenly had an idea.

Just let Huo Ting deal with this matter, otherwise people will be decadent when they are free, just use this matter to divert Huo Ting's attention, when the time comes, he will be busy, maybe when Fu Qingyu's mother and son leave Beijing, Huo Ting will not be able to care about the pain up.

"I won't go!" Huo Ting stared, let it be if he couldn't help, and sprinkled salt on the wound, as expected, being an emperor would be heartless.Seeing that Qing Yu and Jing Yi were leaving, he had already made up his mind that he would follow wherever the two of them went.What kind of family life, shit, he only wants a wife!

"If you don't go, you are resisting and disobeying the edict. The imperial edict has been issued, so it's up to you to say whether to go or not." Xiao Qi was not used to Huo Ting, so he went back directly.Seeing that Huo Ting was about to walk away in a fit of shame, he said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it. If you go out on errands, Qingyu and Jingyi are always going to be bad. Let's leave without saying goodbye. Wait until you find out about the mountain fire." Clearly, I assure you that my daughter-in-law and son will definitely stay in the Hou's residence for you."

Huo Ting's footsteps stopped, and he didn't say anything before, but the last sentence really shook him, maybe he can think of a way to fix some injuries for himself, and sell Qingyu to a miserable situation, he doesn't believe that Qingyu can really be hard-hearted, leave him alone regardless of.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, and the calculations in their hearts were crackling.

Huo Ting went back to the Hou Mansion and went directly to the bamboo garden, and told Fu Qingyu about the emperor's arrangement.

"Qingyu, I don't ask you to stay for me, I just ask you to wait until I finish my errands before leaving, is that okay? I don't want you to leave quietly when I'm not at home..." From the heart, Huo Ting There is pleading in the eyes.

"..." Fu Qingyu remained silent, she and Jing Yi had already made preparations, and the Queen Mother was also taking care of it, planning to leave the day after tomorrow.

"Qingyu, can you really just let go of the relationship between us? I know I'm sorry for you, but you believe me, it was a mistake, ever since Xu Meilan was in the Hou's mansion, I swear to God, never once Touched her again! Even if you don't forgive me, I just want to say goodbye in person when you leave, don't you give me such a chance?" Sore and swollen, the red eyes already had water rippling inside.

Although Jing Yi disdains cheap father's belated affection, but with this tone of voice, I don't know how mother will choose?

Looking at the man in front of him, Fu Qingyu sighed: "Okay." Forget it, for the sake of saving Jing Yi, let's accommodate him once.

really!Jing Yi was not surprised, her mother looked cold, but in fact she was very soft-hearted, like Xiao Yichen, who sold herself miserably in front of her mother in exchange for a lot of love.

snort!Why did she compare that awkward ghost with Cheap Daddy?People in Beijing are not normal.

With Fu Qingyu's approval, Huo Ting's heart was going to soar to the sky. That old man Xiao Qixing deserved to have been in a crowd of women before, he just has experience!

After pestering Fu Qingyu for a while, Huo Ting left the bamboo garden contentedly. He was not afraid that Qingyu would lead Jingyi and leave quietly. The emperor had already agreed. If there was no one back, he would ask the emperor to settle the score. , he left Beijing to pursue his wife in an open and honest manner!

At the original site of Baixianglou in the capital, craftsmen were digging a hole to bury the foundation wood. When the hammer head went down, there was a clang, and the trembling craftsmen's tiger's mouth went numb.
