Outsiders also have golden fingers

Wuyou quickly disappeared with a few moves.

Qingling quickly took off her outer clothing, revealing the black night clothes underneath, and then put on a black hood, completely different from the little eunuch just now.

She looked guiltily at the place where her aunt disappeared:

"Uncle Fengjing, did I do something wrong? I really shouldn't have put my aunt in danger for a stranger!"

The man in black shook his head: "Compared to ordinary people, cultivators pay more attention to cause and effect, and they must avoid implicating innocent people. Even if you don't tell us, we still have arrangements.

The planned arson had three meanings.

The first is to cover our escape in case of an accident, and the second is to confuse the other party so that they cannot guess our origins and try to avoid future troubles.

The third most important thing is that it can avoid hurting innocent people to the greatest extent, which is also beneficial to Princess Pearl.

The palace will definitely use the fire to make a fuss, and will not make a big deal about the princess being kidnapped and missing.

They would use the excuse that the princess was burned by fire and needed a long time to recover from her injuries, so she would not need to appear in front of others.

Of course, it's up to them how long it takes to hide the truth and preserve the princess' reputation.

And they will definitely hide her in the future and can only secretly search for her whereabouts instead of sending heavy troops to look for her. Our situation will also be safer.

The purpose of setting this fire is actually to eliminate future troubles.

The charges of those palace maids and eunuchs will be much lighter. They will inevitably suffer some hardships, but they can save their lives.

They would wait until Yin to set fire, firstly to cover our safe evacuation.

Secondly, at this time, someone has already started working, and there are people keeping vigil all night. The fire will be discovered in time, and it will not cause a major disaster, and generally there will be no casualties.

Let's go quickly. If we stay, we will only drag you down. "

Qing Ling was relieved and the two left quickly.

Uncle Du Feng and Xiao Jun had left with Princess Mingzhu just now. They didn't hear anything, so everything should be going well.

******************

“Mother, the fire has been put out!

Fortunately, there were already people walking around doing things, and they shouted in time. There were many people helping, and they were all put out before it spread.

We just did an inventory and found that there were no casualties and only a few uninhabited houses were burned. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

The place where the fire broke out was a little close to the residence of the female relatives, and they were frightened.

In particular, several princesses and princesses were crying and wanting to go back. Fortunately, they were comforted by several ladies and have now gotten up to wash themselves. "

Concubine Huang Xian breathed a sigh of relief and fell down on the chair. Why is she so miserable!

I'm so tired and worried, but I almost bear the blame!

Fortunately, the incident was not serious, causing no casualties, and not affecting important palaces, especially since it was far away from the sacrificial hall.

Otherwise, if he goes back and is punished and then demoted, it would be a real loss if it affects Jing'er's future!

The emperor has always been very lenient towards the harem. As long as it is not a big mistake, he will treat it lightly.

The Queen is too lazy to care about these trivial matters. Concubine Lu is still trying to win over her, so she doesn't want to add insult to injury. She should not be punished if she complains again.

There is a lot to do today. I have to finish it quickly and go back to the palace. I still have to apologize to the emperor. What a bad luck!

Concubine Huang Xian briefly freshened up under the service of the palace maid. She had just had breakfast when a steward came to talk to her and discussed and arranged the day's affairs.

"Mother, there is someone outside asking to see you!"

The steward had just left for a while when a palace maid walked up quickly and whispered a few words in Concubine Huang Xian's ear.

Concubine Huang Xian suddenly turned pale and almost fainted. The palace maid quickly helped her sit down, then went out and brought someone in, while she stood guard outside the door. That person was the eunuch on duty at the Pearl Princess Courtyard last night.

He knelt down with a plop and said with panic on his face: "Mother, something happened!"

Then she didn't dare to hide anything and told everything about what happened last night. Huang Xianfei calmed down after being frightened and angry.

It seems that the other party is well-planned and has extraordinary skills. They have planned everything in order to kidnap Princess Pearl.

She even calculated that she would make a fuss about eating non-vegetarian food against the ban. Then she was not an ordinary desperado, and she would never do it just to harm Mingzhu.

Today, the imperial palace must be very tightly guarded. It would not be easy for the opponent to hide from so many guards and succeed. It should be a group of people working together.

Mingzhu was just a princess, and she was raised almost like a joke. There were no brothers from the same mother to compete for the crown prince, and her uncle's family was even more of a drag.

Is such a person worth a group of people risking so much just to kidnap her? Is she worth it?

There must be something she doesn't know about, and Princess Mingzhu should be safe.

The most important thing now is not to make it public, to protect her reputation, and then send people to secretly search for her while quickly reporting the news to the palace.

"Can you make sure this doesn't get publicized?"

"No, when I saw the breakfast delivered here, I was startled. When I asked about it carefully, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I quickly found an excuse to inquire quietly, only to find out that Princess Mingzhu didn't go there at all last night, and there was no such person as Hu Agui around her!

No one knows where she is now. She, the two palace ladies, Hu Agui, and Aunt Qi have all disappeared!

I really don’t know how he sneaked in past the layers of guards? How did you deceive everyone with your glib tongue?

As soon as he arrived, he went in and out of the princess's house as if he were in his own yard, and no one inside asked him any questions.

And he seemed to be very familiar with the princess. No matter what he said, the princess and the two palace maids had no intention of refuting him.

So the slave thought that he was really the person serving the princess, so he believed what he said.

She also made very strict arrangements, even taking into account details such as delivering hot water and picking up luggage.

If it hadn’t been for Princess Pearl’s breakfast being delivered from the dining room just now, we might not have noticed the missing person until just before the funeral..."

The more powerful the other party was, the more assured Huang Xianfei was, and she breathed a sigh of relief:

"Don't worry, the princess will be fine. I will send a message to the palace and ask the emperor to make a decision.

What we have to do now is to carry out the funeral as usual without making anyone suspicious.

If anyone asked, they would say that the princess was frightened, fell down, sprained her feet and was unable to walk, and that arrangements had been made to send her back to the capital.

Remember not to leak any information, otherwise your life will end! "

The eunuch nodded in fright, knelt down and swore various oaths.

Concubine Huang Xian explained again, and a palace maid went out with him.

The palace maid came back not long after, and took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Huang Xian. The letter was sealed and read "In person from Chai Di".

"Your Majesty is very careful. I went in and took a look. Sure enough, there was such a letter on the table in the princess's palace."

Concubine Huang Xian was immediately frightened and quickly put it away close to her body. Even if she was killed, she would not dare to open it privately.

Another palace maid soon went out, and after a while Luo Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was in charge of the funeral, the palace manager, and the guard captain came quietly.

This matter cannot be bypassed by these three people, it all depends on them to handle it concretely.

Huang Xianfei quickly explained the whole matter, and the three of them almost collapsed on the ground in fright, but quickly calmed down and started discussing.
