Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 221 In order to save the beauty, the prince returned to Beijing

Seeing Su Xin's serious look, Yingying still hesitated, and asked, "It shouldn't be that serious, right? I don't think that concubine concubine is a very mean person!"

"Girl, you can't think that way. Why did she appear here today? She must have come here on purpose to find you. She must have discovered the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and you, so she wanted to find fault, or even eradicate you. threaten!"

Su Xin's analysis was very accurate, but Yingying asked with some doubts: "How could I be her threat? I'm just an insignificant little person!"

"That's not true, His Royal Highness's favor is your greatest reliance and what she wants most, so your existence is a threat to her, and even to every woman in the Eastern Palace!" Su Xin said.

Yingying looked terrified and asked, "Then...then what should I do?"

"Of course tell His Highness immediately, let His Highness protect you, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a concubine concubine, as long as His Highness protects you, no one will try to hurt you!" Su Xin said.

Yingying asked helplessly: "But Your Highness is far away in the Yellow River. If the concubine is coming soon, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, His Highness has already made arrangements before leaving. We have enough people here to protect the girl temporarily, but we must inform His Highness as soon as possible, because the concubine is the daughter of the Xie family, and her natal family is the Minister of the Household Department, so we You must tell His Highness, lest they take advantage of their power to bully others!" Su Xin said.

Yingying nodded, and said: "Suxin, I really don't understand these things, everything is up to you, you can't leave me alone!"

"Don't worry, girl, Your Highness sent Su Xin here just to take care of you!" Su Xin said with a smile, she thought that Ying Ying's status would not be low in the future if the Crown Prince loved Ying Ying so much, and she would try her best to become Ying Ying's confidant, Flying Huang Tengda in the future is just around the corner!
Yingying nodded with satisfaction, and said gratefully: "Although I know that you are following orders, but you are so considerate of me, I am still very grateful to you!"

Su Xin hurriedly said: "Miss, you are serious. Although I am following orders, I really hit it off with the girl. You are also very kind to the servant, and the servant should be loyal to you!"

Without hesitation, Su Xin quickly reported the incident to Xuanyuan Ming through a special channel.

But Mrs. Xie's people came much faster than they expected.

On the night of the fifth day after Xie Siru's visit, Yingying's small courtyard suddenly caught fire, and the flames soared into the sky. Due to the effect of the night wind, the flames were even more raging and unstoppable.

Yingying woke up from her sleep and was rescued.

However, this fire affected several surrounding courtyards, causing heavy casualties.

"Suxin...how could this happen?" Yingying sat down in embarrassment not far away, watching the fire, crying helplessly.

Su Xin also looked terrified, if the guards hadn't tried their best to rescue them, they would have been buried in the sea of ​​flames.

"Girl, someone must want your life, and it must be Concubine Xie Shu!" Su Xin said with a pale face.

Yingying cried and asked: "What should I do? If she knew that I was not dead, she would definitely not let me go, Su Xin, I'm so scared!"

"Girl, let's go to His Highness, His Highness will definitely decide for you!" Su Xin said.

Yingying shook her head and said, "The Yellow River is a long way from here. How can you and I, two weak women, get there safely? What if something bad happens on the way?"

"Girl, don't worry, there are still a few guards left by His Highness to protect you, as long as they protect us all the way to the Yellow River, it will be fine!" Su Xin said.

Yingying thought for a long time before she said, "Then...then what should we do now?"

"Leaving the city overnight, if they find out that we are not dead, they will definitely continue to chase us down!" Su Xin said.

Yingying nodded and said, "Then...then let's go quickly!"

Su Xin and several guards took Yingying out of the capital in this way, and at this time Xuanyuan Ming just received the message from Su Xin, and was extremely anxious.

"Little Douzi, I want to go back to Beijing!" Xuanyuan Ming said to Xiaodouzi.

Xiaodouzi asked in fear: "Your Highness, we just came here, why do we have to go back?"

"An accident happened to Yingying. Xie Siru found her and went to find trouble. That woman Xie Siru is extremely jealous and scheming. Yingying will definitely be in danger!" Xuanyuan Ming was extremely worried.

Xiaodouzi lowered his head slightly, and then said: "But...how can Liu Shangshu explain it? He came with us. If you want to return to Beijing now, he will definitely not agree!"

"What does this palace want to do, and does it need his consent?" Xuanyuan Ming asked coldly.

Xiaodouzi said: "Then...then if he tells the emperor about your return to Beijing, won't His Highness be blamed?"

"He dare not!" Xuanyuan Ming said firmly.

Xiaodouzi thought for a while, and then said: "How about... His Highness complained of illness, and then stayed in the house and did not go out, and quietly returned to Beijing to make arrangements for Miss Yingying before coming back?"

"This..." Xuanyuan Ming hesitated for a while.

"Your Highness, this is better than returning to the capital in a grand manner and being discovered by the emperor. You also know that the emperor has always been strict with you. If you know that you are ignoring disaster relief for the sake of Miss Yingying, your highness will be punished at that time. Venting your anger will be detrimental to Miss Yingying!"

Xiaodouzi's concerns made Xuanyuanming immediately agree with his suggestion, saying: "You are right, I cannot let Yingying get hurt!"

"Then...Your Highness will leave overnight, and this servant will stay here to cover you up!" Xiaodouzi said.

"Little Douzi, after returning to Beijing, I will give you a lot of rewards!" Xuanyuan Ming was very pleased that Xiaodouzi was so sensible.

Xiaodouzi smiled and said: "Your Highness has given everything to this slave. I have dedicated myself to His Highness and died. How dare I ask for any reward!"

Xuanyuan Ming also laughed, patted Xiaodouzi on the shoulder, and said: "You kid, you just know how to play tricks, but I believe in your loyalty to me!"

Xiaodouzi patted his head and laughed very heartily, so Xuanyuan Ming set off for Beijing overnight with a few confidants of the East Palace without anyone notifying him.

When Liu Shangshu knew about it, Xuanyuanming was already far away, so angry Liu Shangshu jumped up and locked up Xiaodouzi.

"Liu Shangshu, if you do this, His Highness will definitely not let you go when you come back!" Xiaodouzi said arrogantly.

Liu Shangshu scolded: "It's all instigated by you slaves who don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Do you know what a serious crime it would be if the emperor found out about His Highness's sneaky return to Beijing? Now that the disaster is so serious and the people are displaced, if His Highness is not here What kind of riot happened here, how should I explain to the emperor?"

Xiaodouzi didn't care, and said: "Liu Shangshu, you are also in charge of disaster relief, His Highness trusts you so much, can't you share your worries for His Highness? His Highness returned to Beijing in secret because he has important matters to deal with, so you don't need to give His Highness Slow down!"

Liu Shangshu was so angry that he didn't know what to do, he smashed the table suddenly, and said: "It's really unreasonable, I hope nothing happens these days, otherwise not only I will be unlucky, but Your Highness will also be unlucky!"

"Liu Shangshu, don't be cynical. Your Highness will return safely, and nothing major will happen here. As long as the disaster relief is successful, you will be rewarded!" Xiaodouzi said very easily.

But only Liu Shangshu knew that half of the disaster relief money fell into the hands of Xuanyuan Ming, and a small part was embezzled by other officials. Now only a small half is in the hands of the victims, which is a drop in the bucket!

But the disaster is still spreading, and the most feared thing is to cause a plague, which will definitely cause shocks in the government and the public. Once the emperor learns about these filth, he does not know whether Xuanyuan Ming's crown prince can be kept, but he must not be able to be the Minister of the Household Department. Yes, maybe even go to jail for it!

I really don't know what Xuanyuan Ming was thinking, he got the job of disaster relief from the emperor in every possible way, but after he came here, he never went out of the hotel at all, apart from eating, drinking and having fun every day, he never thought of contributing to the disaster relief.

The frightening thing is that not only did he refuse to contribute, but he sneaked away again within half a month after arriving!
Liu Shangshu was angry and impatient, but he couldn't tell the story, and wanted to cover it up for Xuanyuanming.

Whoever let him board the prince's boat, once the prince collapses, he will have to pay a heavy price.

"Xiaodouzi, I don't care about you now, you must ensure that no one finds out that His Highness has left here, once the news leaks out, you and I will lose our lives!" Liu Shangshu warned sternly.

Xiaodouzi immediately said: "You don't need to talk about this, the little ones understand it too, don't worry, leave it to me, His Highness will come back soon!"

"I hope so!" Liu Shangshu felt a haze covering his heart, and there was always an ominous premonition.

And here Xuanyuan is traveling day and night tomorrow, just to get back to the capital as soon as possible and save the beauty from the fire.

Su Xin's letter described Yingying's situation as very dangerous, which made Xuanyuanming really worried, for fear that Yingying would be poisoned if he went back late.

And here Yingying and Suxin are also hurrying towards the Yellow River, but Yingying "fell ill" on the way.

In desperation, Su Xin had to rest in the inn, but Yingying was seriously ill, and finally, under the persuasion of Yingying's original girl Huanxi, Su Xin had to take Yingying back to the capital to seek medical treatment.

Xuanyuan Ming returned to the capital one step earlier, and the first time he came to Yingying's small courtyard, he found that the place was already in a mess. After inquiring, he found out that there was a fire here half a month ago, and many people died.

Xuanyuan Ming's anger can be imagined, he knew that this was definitely not an accident, no wonder Su Xin asked for help in the letter!

Xuanyuan Ming rushed back to the East Palace without even thinking about it!

"Xie Siru... Xie Siru..." Xuanyuanming yelled crazily, almost terrifying everyone in the East Palace.

Xie Siru was also surprised that Xuanyuan Ming came back early.

"Your Highness..."

"Snapped……"

Xie Siru hadn't finished speaking when he was slapped dizzily and fell to the ground. It took him a while to react, and he looked at Xuanyuanming in shock and bewilderment, not knowing why he hit her as soon as he came back.

"Your Highness...you...what's the matter with you?" Xie Siru was extremely wronged, and tears kept falling down.
