The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 778
After walking all the way, Feng Yao remained silent.Xue Ying was walking beside Feng Yao, with her intelligence, she could see that Feng Yao's mind was sinking, but she didn't seem to know how to persuade her.Xue Ying also heard what Empress Ma said just now, but she had never met Yan Jin and Qing Ping, she just showed a look of envy in her eyes.

When Feng Yao inadvertently turned his head, he saw Xueying's pretty face full of longing. With a "puchi" smile, Feng Yao asked Xue Ying, "You also want to know what kind of person Yan Jin is?"

"Well, Xueying really wants to see this stalwart man who doesn't even want the country for the woman he loves. I think that a real man is a man who can let go and know what he wants. It has nothing to do with his achievements or Power, only a woman who loves him is a good man. If a man doesn't live for a woman, then what kind of affection is there in this world?"

"Yeah, being able to be with each other for the rest of your life is true happiness." Feng Yao sighed softly, stopped and stood under a tree.

It was the husband and wife tree that Qingping showed Fengyao back then, but now it's not autumn without red leaves, the leaves are green and lush, full of vitality, as if the loving couple is showing their love.

After staring straight at it for a long time, Feng Yao felt that his eyes were sore, his neck was stiff, and his whole body was about to collapse.Only then slowly turned around, with a wry smile, ready to go back.

After walking a few steps, Feng Yao suddenly remembered that she and Xue Ying originally planned to go to the tower to see what happened in the city.But being distracted by Queen Ma, she actually forgot.At this time, it sounded that the gong had stopped, but it seemed that there were still noisy voices outside.

Feng Yao said: "Xueying, go and see what happened just now."

"Yes." Xueying agreed and walked towards the palace gate.But after walking along the trail for a long time, he turned back and said to Feng Yao from a distance: "Master, I saw that Commander Aya has returned."

"Tell him to come and talk back." Feng Yao responded, walked to a nearby pavilion and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Aya walked back with Xueying.Aya replied directly: "My lord, there was a fire in the city just now. It burned down a huge mansion."

"The mansion is on fire? Which one?" Feng Yao frowned, already feeling that this matter was not as simple as an accident.

Sure enough, Aya replied: "It's Anping Palace."

"Hiss..." Feng Yao took a deep breath, smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, and asked again: "Then the reason can be found out? Has anyone been rescued in the mansion?"

Since Meng Zhuang rushed into the capital with the elite soldiers of the Fengjue Kingdom, except Prime Minister Gu and several ministers who used to have a good relationship with the Mo family and were put under house arrest by Yan Duo's distrust, they were freed. The relatives of the emperor, the ministers of the court and the central government were all arrested by Feng Yao's order.He is still being held in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

However, she would not refuse if there were officials who really surrendered.After all, Yunqing Kingdom is only a vassal state and will not be completely under the jurisdiction of Fengjue Kingdom, so it is still independent.

But such dangerous people as King Anping and Prince Anping, Feng Yao absolutely does not intend to let them see the sky outside the prison again.But Feng Yao didn't intend to be implicated, the female family members of each mansion were only ordered to stay in the mansion and not to leave the mansion, and they were guarded by officers and soldiers, and they were not embarrassing.

But now Anping Palace suddenly caught fire, could this be an accident or a coincidence?That is really a coincidence, right?

Aya continued to reply: "The fire was too fierce, but it was controlled within a certain range and did not affect the surrounding houses. So far no one has been rescued. As for the cause of the fire... it should be someone arson in the mansion. Otherwise, it wouldn't suddenly burn so violently that it would be impossible to save it."

Aya's return made Feng Yao frown again.Even if someone set the fire, but no one came out alive, wouldn't it be weird?
Feng Yao said: "I'll go and have a look. This fire is strange."

Aya didn't stop her, but immediately ordered the guards to prepare to protect the empress from leaving the palace.

Fengyao has always been open-minded, and in the capital of Fengjue Kingdom, he often feels like entering the market, not like the emperors of past dynasties.Although she was in Yunqing Country this time, she had lived here for a while before, so she was familiar with it.

There were not too many imperial guards around, only Aya and other close attendants followed, and another pair of attendants left the palace to maintain order.

Feng Yao looked in the direction of Prince Anping's Mansion, and saw thick smoke billowing and flames rushing up, the fire was indeed not small.

Aya persuaded in front of Feng Yao: "Master, it is better not to come near. Although the people watching the excitement have been dispersed, the smoke is too strong, and it is difficult to protect your majesty's safety."

Feng Yao nodded, and knew that Aya's consideration was for herself.But here is still more than a street away, and I really can't see anything clearly.Feng Yao then asked: "Could it be any closer?"

Aya looked ahead, and then told the attendants to be careful, and moved forward a certain distance.Here you can see the gate of Prince Anping's Mansion, and you can still see the fire coming out of the wall, which is already the limit of the safe zone.

Feng Yao didn't ask too much, not to mention that there was a fire over there, even if he lay on top of the wall, he might not be able to see anything.I just saw a lot of officers and soldiers busy carrying water and putting out fires.In addition, there were some extremely lively people standing a little distance away, refusing to leave.

"The fire is wrong. Why can't the fire be seen when splashing water like this?" Feng Yao looked at it for a while, then noticed the difference, and said to Aya.

"Yes, the master has observed carefully. The fire is indeed not an ordinary fire. It should be a special kind of fire oil. After it is ignited, water can't be extinguished. Unless it is covered with sand. Watering now is just to prevent the fire from spreading. Go around and hurt innocent people. If you want to put out the fire, you may not be able to. Even if you get a lot of sand, blowing sand to put out the fire is far more difficult than watering it."

It seems that the fire can only burn until there is nothing left to burn, and then go out on its own.I'm afraid that the Anping Palace will really be reduced to a pile of ashes by then.

Looking at the fire, Feng Yao's heart was full of thoughts.He even thought of Shui Qingrou, wondering if she had already died in the sea of ​​fire?The past and the past drifted away, as if being burned by this fire.Feng Yao was also a little reluctant to think deeply, maybe thinking too much, so he thought of the person in her heart again.

"Let's go." Feng Yao felt a sense of powerlessness, and ordered to go back.

But as soon as the chariot turned around, Feng Yao inadvertently saw a familiar figure in the crowd ahead.

And when that person found Feng Yao looking over there, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd, as if he didn't want Feng Yao to find out?
