Chapter 172 Ruins
When Jiang Zhi arrived in a panic with her people, there were already many palace people rushing to the water, Pei Qing and Song Qinghuai were standing on both sides.

The flames were obviously much smaller, but Jiang Zhi looked at the mess and couldn't settle down.

"Pei's palm print, where..."

She helped Dongruo get off the chariot, calling out.

"Burn clean."

Pei Qing replied calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Zhi closed her eyes, and Dong Ruo looked over with worried eyes.

"Dongruo, let someone go and see if the princess... is inside." Jiang Zhi ordered in a low voice.

"Yes."

Pei Qing watched Jiang Zhi's people go in, guessed a little in her heart, but didn't stop her.

"Miss!"

After a while, someone called out loudly.Jiang Zhi pressed the center of her eyebrows, and said, "How is it?"

The visitor trotted to the front of the chariot, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhuyan passed out inside, but I led people to search around, but I didn't find the princess."

"what?"

"My lady, it's dangerous inside!"

Dong Ruo hurriedly stopped her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the fire is still burning right now, so it's hard to find. Miss Zhuyan is still there, why don't you wait for her to wake up and ask carefully."

Dong Ruo's words made Jiang Zhi calm down a little, and it was true after thinking about it, but the feeling of panic was hard to suppress for a while.

"Is this the platform His Majesty wants to build? It seems that this king has no chance to see it completed."

King Xuan's gloating voice came from behind, Jiang Zhi looked back, her eyes were slightly cold.

"What is your Highness doing here?"

"What are you talking about, empress? This is also my elder brother's foundation. If something like this happens, this king will of course have to take a look on my brother's behalf."

King Xuan was very calm, and laughed mockingly: "From this point of view, I'm afraid it's not very good."

Jiang Zhi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, the palace will handle matters in the harem, so you don't need to worry about it."

"It seems that the king has good intentions, and the empress is unwilling to accept it."

King Xuan said regretfully, the light of the fire made his smile even darker.Jiang Zhi frowned, and moved half a step away calmly.

"Qinghuai is here too." King Xuan quickly changed the subject, smiling and looking at Song Qinghuai who was standing quietly beside him.

Song Qinghuai nodded meaningfully as a response, and didn't want to have anything to do with this famous uncle.

"Qing Huai is here, why don't you see... Qing An?"

King Xuan prolonged his voice on purpose, Song Qinghuai lowered his eyelashes, and his eyes were sharp.

Pei Qing glanced at him, and interrupted: "If His Highness Xuan Wang is fine, it's better to go back earlier, so as not to accidentally get hurt."

Only then did King Xuan look at him like a charity, and sneered coldly: "Where is the eunuch who dares to point fingers at this king?"

The palace people present couldn't help bowing their bodies down, even walking faster.

Pei Qing curled her lips, and the flames flickered on her face, as if she was burning with blood: "His Royal Highness Xuan, our family kindly reminded us. If His Highness refuses to listen, it has nothing to do with our family."

King Xuan was startled by his gaze and took a few steps back, and then he realized that he was threatened by an eunuch, and he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.

"Who gave you the guts to talk to this king like this!"

Jiang Zhi frowned, the place was already in chaos, and it would be worthwhile for the two to argue again.She didn't want the news of Pei Qing's killing of the prince to be spread in the capital tomorrow, so Jiang Zhi said coldly, "Dong Ruo, His Royal Highness Xuan is drunk, send him back."

Dong Ruo responded, and called some guards to "send off" King Xuan.

The latter later realized that he was still in someone's territory, and forced himself to brush away the hands of a few guards: "Don't bother your lady, this king will go on his own."

He took a few steps and then stopped, looking back with unclear meaning: "Your Majesty, be careful, the person who set the fire is right beside you."

Jiang Zhi subconsciously looked to the side, met Pei Qing's dark eyes, and her heart trembled.

She immediately understood that this was just King Xuan trying to disturb her mind, but the seeds of doubt were still planted in her heart.

"...Pei's palm print, Your Highness, the princess is gone."

Seeing King Xuan walking away, Jiang Zhi thought about it, and finally said it.

She originally thought that even if Pei Qing didn't respond, Song Qinghuai should be more excited, but she didn't want the two of them to look at her indifferently, so calm that there was no wave.

Jiang Zhi frowned, a little embarrassingly: "Dongruo told me earlier that the princess came here. My palace has sent someone to look for it, but there is no one else except the maid beside the princess."

Pei Qing laughed in her heart, it was naturally impossible to find her like this.

"Pei's palm print, I'm worried..."

Jiang Zhi looked worriedly at the platform that was engulfed by the fire, Pei Qing's eyes were quiet: "Don't worry, my lady, the princess has her own destiny, and nothing will happen."

"Where is her maid now?"

Jiang Zhi regained her composure: "...Ah, she was seriously injured, and I was taken away by someone in this palace, and the imperial doctor has been announced."

"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first and go find Qing'an."

Song Qinghuai interrupted suddenly, but Jiang Zhi didn't mind, and immediately agreed.

……

It took about an hour for the fire to be extinguished.The previous table was already scorched black, and it could no longer see its original appearance.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly sent someone to check the ruins.

Pei Qing stood aside quietly. Although he was sure that Song Qing'an was taken away by someone, he was still nervous when he saw this.

"Ma'am, there's no one inside."

Pei Qing pursed her lips, feeling slightly relieved.

"However, I found this..."

The palace man anxiously handed Jiang Zhi the shiny thing in his hand.

Pei Qing glanced roughly, and found that it was the red gemstone inlaid in the center of Song Qingan's crown tonight.

"Pei's palm print...do you see...?"

"The princess must have been robbed..." Pei Qing said slowly, with murderous intent in her eyes, "Don't worry, Madam, Dongchang will try its best to find the princess."

Jiang Zhigang's let go of his heart was raised again, if someone could come and go so freely in the palace confinement, he would even steal the princess away without a sound.Then who knows... who knows what else he will do?
"Then trouble Pei's palm print, Your Majesty..."

Pei Qing glanced menacingly at the palace attendants present: "I hope... don't spread the word about this matter for now."

"Don't worry about Pei's palm print, I will take care of it."

With Pei Qing's promise, Jiang Zhi naturally relaxed a lot.As for tasks such as sealing...it's not difficult.

The only variable is King Xuan, but King Xuan should not know about it.

And this inexplicable fire...

Pei Qing seemed to see Jiang Zhi's thoughts: "The supervisor of the Jingu Temple is already on his way."

"Thank you for the palm print."

Jiang Zhi let out a sigh of relief, such a big matter must be investigated to the end, I'm afraid the palace... will have a big change.
-
When Song Qing'an woke up again, all he could see was darkness.

She waited for a long time before a faint light appeared in her sight.

The back of my neck hurt like hell, and my head was swollen.Song Qing'an let out a soft "hiss", only feeling sore all over.

She belatedly realized that her hands had been tied behind her back. The person who tied her had hit her hard. The ropes made her wrists ache, and her arms and shoulders were sore and swollen unbearably.

"The princess is awake."
