After retiring the engagement, she actually married the emperor's uncle in a wedding dress

Chapter 123 He Feng Was Arrested
In order to show that he is a good and responsible official, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin Liu hurriedly came over to report: "His Royal Highness, the He family is in trouble."

"The kerosene specially used for the military camp appeared here, and you actually believed that the kitchen leaked water?" Xuanyuanji sat on the carriage with no expression on his face, and the dark night couldn't hide his innate majesty.

Master Liu suddenly felt his scalp go numb: "The king of Chen is right, it is the negligence of the lower officials..."

"Overnight, the residences of the two major generals were set on fire. At this time, the safety of Dongzhou is at stake, so don't be careless." Xuanyuanji said coldly.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Master Liu hurriedly bowed his head, and answered yes again and again.

He Feng looked at Xuanyuanji with difficulty, not knowing what to say.

He Qinru said in a low voice: "Father, it's okay, I can't find out."

"Ru'er, you don't know Prince Chen... Even if it's an air-dried chicken, he can squeeze out a little bit of oil!" He Feng was really scared.

As an ambitious general sweeping the battlefield, apart from being afraid of the emperor, he is also afraid of Xuanyuanji.

In the past, they didn't have much contact with each other, and they were afraid of returning home. Anyway, they just didn't meet each other.

Now he is forced to accept Xuanyuanji's investigation, his heart flutters like a bamboo bucket fetching water.

Fortunately, Gu Qingluo came to set fire and made him a victim.

After thinking about it, He Feng said: "Prince Chen, there were no casualties in my mansion, why don't you go and see the Gu mansion..."

"The emperor has sent Lin Wang to Gu's residence to investigate." Mr. Hu said impartially.

He Feng: ...

How could he be so unlucky that it was Xuanyuanji's turn to come to the He family?
"My lord, there is no water leaking from the kitchen in the He Mansion, the fire was started from the outside, which is exactly the same as the method of arson in the Gu Mansion." The subordinates came down to report.

Master Liu asked in shock: "General He, you said just now that the kitchen fire was gone!"

"He Feng, what are you hiding on purpose?" Xuanyuanji squinted his eyes, looking down at He Feng sharply.

"I didn't..." He Feng quickly made an excuse, "Maybe the servant made a mistake..."

Master Liu glanced at Xuanyuanji's face, and said angrily: "General He, you have delayed handling the case!"

"Okay, General He is getting old and his ears are not working well." Xuanyuanji said.

It was rare that he was kind enough to build the steps, so He Feng quickly went down the steps: "Thank you, Prince Chen, for your understanding, He injured his ear on the battlefield, sometimes it is really easy to hear things wrong."

"It doesn't matter if you don't listen to small things, but if you don't listen to important military matters..." Xuanyuanji changed the subject sharply.

He Feng's heart hung up, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "Prince Chen, He dare not make mistakes in such a big matter..."

"Your ear is hurt, it's up to you if you're wrong." Xuanyuanji played with the Buddhist beads in his hand, but his casual words made He Feng tremble with fear.

He Feng was extremely embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I am not the only one who decides the important affairs in the army. There are many lieutenants and military advisers. If I get it wrong, they will remind me in time..."

"Then about Gu's army's rebellion, did you hear it right?" Xuanyuanji asked.

Suddenly from the fire to Gu Jiajun, the topic changed too quickly, He Feng's heart jumped uneasy, and he hurriedly said: "Prince Chen, the matter of Gu Jiajun has nothing to do with me..."

"Okay, I know it was you who told me the secret." Xuanyuanji said.

He Feng: ...

Could it be a little bit of a state secret?

"If you are right, this king will reward you heavily. If you are not right, this king will not forgive you lightly." Xuanyuan's eyes were as sharp as a sword.

He Feng's heart beat like a drum, and he lowered his head uneasily.

At this moment, Master Liu's subordinates came to report with two barrels of kerosene: "My lord, I found two barrels of kerosene in the woodshed of the He Mansion."

He Feng and He Qinru's expressions changed greatly: "This is impossible!"

The few barrels of kerosene they had were all used up, so how could they have any in stock?
Even if there is stock, they can't keep it in their own home!

"General He, this was found by the officers in your house, and the Prince Chen's people were there too, so don't argue." Master Liu was secretly startled: Damn, it was He Feng who did it!
Hard enough!After burning Gu's mansion, he didn't forget to set fire to his own house, so no one would suspect him if he became a victim!
Even Jing Zhaoyin, who has rich experience in handling cases, was almost fooled!
"General He, how do you explain this kerosene?" Xuanyuanji asked.

He Feng's head buzzed, and he looked at He Qinru.

He Qinru shook his head, expressing that he had nothing to hide.

He Feng understood: he was murdered by Gu Qingluo!
That girl not only set fire to his house, but also hid evidence of her crime!

"This kerosene is the same as the one set on fire by Gu's house. The oil is the same, and the barrel is the same." Master Liu personally brought the empty oil barrel over for comparison.

Xuanyuanji curled his lips coldly: "Since there are suspicions, immediately seal the He residence and take He Feng to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

"Yes."

Master Liu immediately led his troops up.

He Feng's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily, "Who dares?"

"Heh, I'm under the order to investigate the case, and what I mean is what the emperor means. General He still wants to resist the order?" Xuanyuan sneered contemptuously.

He Feng froze in an instant: "He dare not..."

"Take it!"

"Yes!"

The He residence was quickly sealed off, and all three members of He Feng's family were taken to Dali Temple.

The fire in the Gu residence has also been extinguished.

Lin Wang Mu Jinran was ordered by the emperor to go to the mansion to check the situation, and Gu Qingluo had already returned.After confirming that no one in the family was injured, she followed Mrs. Gu to meet Mu Jinran.

"His Royal Highness Lin Wang, the Gu family has been loyal and good for generations. Now it's just being framed by others, and some people can't wait to burn the Gu family's daughters to death. It's really abominable! Please tell your majesty, Lin Wang, that you must give the Gu family an explanation!" Mrs. Gu said.

Mu Jinran smiled slightly: "Don't worry, old lady, this is inevitable."

"I have collected all the oil barrels for arson. They are high-efficiency kerosene from the army, which is not available to ordinary people." Gu Qingluo said coldly, and was still angry that the arsonist was not captured alive today.

"Miss Gu, don't worry, the arsonists who were killed on the way have already been taken away by Chu Zuo for identity verification." Mu Jinran said, "No matter who is in charge, the emperor will not let him go."

"Okay." Gu Qingluo smiled gratefully at Mu Jinran, very glad that it was him and not someone else who came to Gu's house tonight.

Otherwise, the fire will not be extinguished so smoothly.

But she was very disappointed, why not Xuanyuan Jilai?
With such a big incident happening in the Gu family, is he sure he can't come out and take care of it?
In vain, she thought that his attitude towards her was changing and everything was going in a good direction.

But it turned out that he was still only concerned with avoiding suspicion!

"Miss Gu is heavy, and she was frightened again tonight, so get some rest! I won't bother you anymore." Mu Jinran left with the evidence.

Gu Qingluo hesitated for a moment, followed and said in a low voice, "I have doubts."

"He Feng." Mu Jinran smiled, "Uncle Huang is conducting a thorough investigation at the He Mansion right now, and everything will come to light."

"he?"

Gu Qingluo was taken aback, and the sense of loss in her heart disappeared instantly.
