Chapter 227 The Third Prince Suffers “God’s Punishment”

"I believe it partly." There was a hint of smile in Chu Huanyan's eyes, "I believe that neither she nor Shi Guogong is willing to get involved in these things, and Shi Guogong was indeed forced to take action. only……"

Chu Huanyan paused for a moment, looked at the direction in which Shi Wanxian's carriage disappeared, and remembered how the other party had been waiting at the Hou Mansion.

"It's just that I don't believe her claim that she accidentally overheard her and came to report her."

Shi Wanxian's visit this time was most likely under the instruction of Duke Shi.

Being threatened by the third prince and the others, Shi Guogong could not shirk his refusal, but he did not want to completely break up with himself and Xiao Jinzhi, so he sent his daughter to sell the favor in a hurry.

In this way, even if he and Xiao Jinzhi did not forgive Shi Guogong in the end, at least Shi Wanxian would not be implicated.

It can be regarded as well-intentioned!

Xiao Jinzhi agreed in his heart, "All the people sent by Shi Guogong have been captured. Although there are one or two good ones among them, most of them have mediocre skills. Presumably, he also knows that the rice and grain are very important, so he has not made enough to do things for Xiao Rongxuan. .”

After all, how could Duke Shi not understand that he was Xiao Rongxuan's scapegoat in this matter after having been in power for many years.

Even if he didn't send Shi Wanxian over to clarify the matter, once he took action, whether he really succeeded in burning the rice or was caught by mistake, these things would not be covered up.

Chu Huanyan looked sideways at Xiao Jinzhi, "What I'm worried about now is that Xiao Rongxuan suffered a lot this time, and it will get worse in the future."

Not only did Xiao Rongxuan's plan fail this time, but he also lost face and had the Third Prince's Mansion burned down. There was no way he could just let it go.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan's hand, "I will be careful."

In addition, just in case, we need to add more talents to Yan Yan.

……

In the Third Prince's Mansion, Xiao Rongxuan looked at the fire that was finally put out in front of him with a cold expression.

Most of the entire Third Prince's Mansion was burned down, and the most severely burned area was undoubtedly the Liuyun Garden where the Qushui Water Drinking Banquet was held. In addition, Xiao Rongxuan's courtyard was almost burned down, leaving only a few dark pillars. .

"Your Highness, we have found out that someone did set the fire deliberately, especially Liuyun Garden and your yard. If there were no combustion aids, it would never have burned so badly. However, when the fire broke out, everyone in the yard They were led out, so there were no casualties. But someone was injured while putting out the fire, so..." The guards in the mansion cupped their fists and reported nervously.

"It's just a servant, it's none of my business whether I die or not!" Xiao Rongxuan interrupted the guard impatiently.

Liuyun Garden was built with great effort by him, and he spent so much manpower and material resources, but now it was burned down like this!
The guard raised his head nervously and glanced at Xiao Rongxuan, looking hesitant to speak.

Mu Feng, who was standing behind Xiao Rongxuan, saw this and said, "Okay, please step back first. As for the injured, take good care of them and place them properly."

"Yes." The guard breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.

"Your Highness, what happened this time..." Mu Feng opened his mouth to persuade Xiao Rongxuan, but before he could say anything, Xiao Rongxuan looked directly at him with a sinister look.

"Mu Feng, are you sincerely assisting this prince?"

Mu Feng's expression condensed, "Could it be that His Highness was really instigated by Chu Huanyan?"

"This prince is asking you, are you sincerely assisting me, or do you just want to use me to achieve your own goals!" Xiao Rongxuan's tone was cold, as if the answer he heard was even slightly unsatisfactory. Immediately ordered to kill the other party.

Mu Feng looked at Xiao Rongxuan, met his gaze and said, "I am indeed assisting His Highness sincerely." "Then how do you explain it to Duke Shi?"

"Although I knew about Duke Shi's affairs from the beginning, I never thought about using His Highness to deal with Duke Shi. On the contrary, I wanted to use this matter to manipulate Shi Cunhou so that he could be more loyal to His Highness."

"Then why didn't you mention this matter when you first joined the service of this prince?" Xiao Rongxuan still had doubts in his heart.

"The time has not come."

"that's it?"

"That's it." Mu Feng looked at Xiao Rongxuan, "If His Highness doesn't want to believe it, then I have nothing to say and I will leave it to His Highness."

Doubt, once a hole is opened, the rest may be endless.

No matter what he said, I'm afraid he couldn't completely dispel Xiao Rongxuan's suspicion, but... he bet that Xiao Rongxuan wouldn't attack him at this juncture.

Xiao Rongxuan stared at Mu Feng, who looked calmly and met his gaze without hesitation.

After a long time, the look on Xiao Rongxuan's face finally relaxed a little.

"Mu Feng, don't blame me. After all, what happened tonight... I was so angry that my words were a little harsh."

"No matter what His Highness said, as long as you are willing to believe that this subordinate is sincerely assisting you."

"Of course I am willing." Xiao Rongxuan withdrew his gaze, "But...since you are sincerely assisting me, then do one thing for me."

"What did your Highness say?"

Xiao Rongxuan's eyes flashed with fierceness, "No matter what method you use, catch Chu Huanyan."

Mu Feng frowned, "Your Highness, after what happened tonight, the Crown Prince will definitely take more precautions to prevent us from retaliating. If you want to catch us at this time..."

Xiao Rongxuan waved his hand and interrupted Mu Feng, "This prince said that no matter what method you use, you must do it. After all, Chu Huanyan is your junior sister. I think you know her better than others. This matter I'll leave the matter to you. Mu Feng... don't let me live up to my prince's expectations!"

Mu Feng looked at Xiao Rongxuan who couldn't resist. After a while, he nodded slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Mu Feng obeys your order."

Soon, the news that the Three Emperors' Mansion was on fire spread throughout the imperial city.

And along with it, there were discussions and speculations about the cause of the fire.

One of the statements that annoyed Xiao Rongxuan the most was: God's punishment!

I don’t know where it came from first, but now many people are talking privately, saying that the Third Prince’s Mansion caught fire because Xiao Rongxuan delayed the repair of Liangshui Alley before, causing so many people to die tragically in Liangshui Alley. Revenge was punished by God.

This fire was a warning from heaven, punishing and warning the third prince.

In Fengyi Palace, Queen Wei looked calm as she looked at Xiao Rongxuan who was furious.

"Well, you are also the third prince after all. How do you feel about being beaten and beaten like this? If you lose this game, then you can win it back."
