When the fire broke out in the palace, Fang Chuning was chatting and laughing with Han Ziqi at the banquet. King Sangnan asked Xie Jue about something. The two left the table to talk. The peace talks were basically finalized, and several surrender treaties were signed. Both parties signed and sealed them immediately. It took effect. Although Fang Chuning was dissatisfied with Sang Nan's request for Xie Jue to admit that he was of maternal lineage, he was also happy that the peace talks went smoothly. Han Ziqi intended to establish friendship with him, and he dealt with it patiently. Even Lord Gu drank a few more drinks and was in a very happy mood. happy.

"My father and brothers all want to live in Peony City in the future, but I want to go to Kyoto. I have long been tired of living in Peony City for so many years. When the time comes, I will have to rely on General Fang to take care of me." Han Ziqi socializes outside all year round. Even if you say something like this, it doesn't seem blunt or flattering at all. Instead, it gives people a very sincere feeling.

Fang Chuning had heard about it and didn't take it to heart. The two were chatting when they suddenly saw a burst of fire not far away. Han Ziqi was slightly startled, "That's the inner palace...it's the residence of the father. Why did it catch on fire?"

Fang Chuning also frowned, and suddenly a chamberlain ran over with a pale face and knelt in the main hall, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good, there is a fire in Chaoyang Palace. The king, princess, and His Highness Prince Yan are all trapped inside."

"Listen to the wind..." Fang Chuning stood up suddenly and ran towards Chaoyang Palace. The eldest prince, third prince and Han Ziqi at the banquet also followed Fang Chuning in panic. Fang Chuning was so anxious that he didn't even care about etiquette. While running, he asked Lin Xiao to mobilize troops. There was a fire in Chaoyang Palace and the situation was unknown. Xie Jue must not be trapped in the palace.

When Fang Chuning, Han Ziqi and others arrived outside the Chaoyang Palace, they saw a slightly embarrassed Xie Jue and the tenth princess who was kneeling and crying, calling her father. The tenth princess, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, fell down on the steps. Tears were streaming down her face, while the palace people were putting out the fire, but the fire was too strong. A loyal soldier who rushed into the palace to save King Sangnan was burned to death in the palace, and the tenth princess could still hear his cries.

"Tingfeng, how are you? Are you injured?" Fang Chuning quickly came to Xie Jue's side. There were already two shadow guards beside Xie Jue, both of whom were a little embarrassed.

"Father, father..." Han Ziqi's eyes were red with tears and he shouted into the palace, "Ling'er, why is father still in the palace?"

The tenth princess cried bitterly and suddenly pointed at Xie Jue, "It was him. It was he who killed his father. It was he who burned his father to death in the palace."

Han Ziqi was slightly startled and looked at Xie Jue in shock. When the fiery-tempered eldest prince heard this, he roared and drew his sword and struck Xie Jue, "Xie Tingfeng, I will kill you!"

The dagger reflected the firelight, and it was still cold. Today they entered the palace for peace talks without swords. Ying 2 and 3 quickly stepped forward to control the eldest prince's arms, grabbing his dagger. Ying 2 also took advantage of the opportunity. Take the dagger as your own.

The eldest prince was still clamoring to kill Xie Jue, but was kicked away by Ying San. He still wanted to rush up to Xie Jue to fight for his life. His eyes were red and full of hatred, but he was stopped by the third prince. "Brother, put out the fire first and figure out the cause of the matter." Say it again."

"What other reason is there? The ten younger sisters all testified that he killed his father. The hatred for killing his father is irreconcilable. I must kill him!"

"That's nonsense. It was clearly King Sangnan who lit the fire and trapped himself in the palace. Why would the tenth princess frame our master!" Ying Er scolded angrily.

"Nonsense, it's Xie Jue!" The tenth princess choked with tears. I felt pity for the beauty in tears. She clung to Han Ziqi's arm and cried, "My father came to me because he originally wanted to discuss our marriage with His Highness King Yan. Sang Nan Peace talks were about to begin, and my father hoped that I could marry King Yan to consolidate the alliance, but King Yan refused, saying that he fell in love with General Fang and would never marry a woman. My father was furious and argued with him, hoping that he would consider the overall situation As a matter of fact, he married me and appeased the Sangnan royal family. He quarreled with his father and knocked over the candles in the palace. The fire quickly spread. My father and I could have escaped when he approached the palace gate. , and pushed his father in. He said that he had also obtained the letter of surrender. If his father were alive, he would only force him to marry, so he might as well die in the fire. It was him...he was the murderer!" The Chaoyang Palace was on fire and he had returned. There was no way to deal with it. Not far away, a group of concubines were already crying till their hearts were shaking. Once King Sangnan died, Han Ziqi would become the king of Sangnan.

Several young and bloody princes clamored for Han Ziqi to kill Xie Jue to avenge his father!

Xie Jue looked at the tenth princess with a sneer, "The story is well written. I didn't expect that the tenth princess escaped from death and faced her father being burned alive. She could still remain calm in the face of danger and come up with such a perfect story with eloquence. She had been planning it for a long time. Come on, he burned himself in the palace, but he wants to blame it on me, what do you want to do?"

"King Yan, my father has signed a surrender letter, why are you seeking death? My sister has a pure and kind nature and never lies." The third prince asked, "It's enough for you to refuse the marriage for Fang Chuning. Why bother to kill my father? We You have obviously surrendered, but you are really bullying me!"

The anger of the people of Sangnan was instantly ignited. King Sangnan was a kind-hearted man, so he was highly respected by the palace people. Now he was burned to death in the palace. Xie Jue was accused by the tenth princess of killing King Sangnan. He couldn't explain anything.

The crowd was so excited that a group of sword-wielding guards came over and shouted, "Kill Xie Jue to avenge the king, kill Xie Jue to avenge the king!"

Fang Chuning pulled Xie Jue to her side and stood in front of him, "Let me see who of you dares!"

Not far away, a green firework shot up into the clouds. This was a signal for help from the Ningzhou cavalry. The palace was tense, and the Ningzhou cavalry from the post house would rush to the palace as quickly as possible.

"Han Ziqi, you'd better advise your guards to calm down and not cause trouble. Even if our Ningzhou cavalry only has 5,000 people, it won't be a problem to fight a bloody path. If you don't want the palace to become a river of blood and the peace talks to break down, order them to put down immediately. Arms, exit Chaoyang Palace." Fang Chuning said in a deep voice, no one thought that King Sangnan would die in the palace during the celebration banquet.

Han Ziqi was kneeling in front of the palace, his eyes were red, and he kowtowed hard several times towards Chaoyang Palace. The group of guards full of hatred and anger were staring at Xie Jue, and they would cut Xie Jue into pieces with just one order. The young man The princes and princesses were like angry little beasts, staring at Xie Jue with hatred, wanting to bite his flesh and blood. Xie Jue felt attacked from all directions.

"A Ning, they have a large number of people. If you have a chance, you leave first. They don't dare to kill me rashly." Xie Jue lowered his voice. After all, he was in the palace, and there were only 500 people accompanying him. The rest were in the post house. , if it is a conspiracy that has long been planned, whether the Ningzhou cavalry in the post house can arrive smoothly is also a problem.

"What are you talking about?" Even though he was in jail and there was a dead end ahead, he never abandoned Xie Jue and left him alone. "We are husband and wife who have worshiped heaven and earth. We share life and death. Besides... this kind of situation is not possible in this world." It’s not like we haven’t encountered each other before in the Northern Barbarians, and there is me!”
