Yun Qingci smiled with peace of mind when he saw his daughter leaving. In an instant, a long sword pierced from behind and penetrated her body. After the instant pain, there was eternal silence. She slowly closed her eyes and fell down. Lin Qingyang's martial arts skills were very poor and had already died of the hands of these men in black. This is also the reason why she tried her best to protect Lin Qingwan.

Although Lin Mingcheng has been in the room, how could he not notice such loud noises outside? His face was full of tears. After all, the Lin family was a big tree that attracted wind and turned to destruction...

A man in black walked into the room and saw Lin Mingcheng on the couch. He did not take action or speak.

Lin Mingcheng looked at the outline of the man in black and felt familiar, "What are you waiting for? Let's do it."

The man in black threw the sword next to Lin Mingcheng, "Lin Xiang should break it by himself, it's hard to disobey your order."

When Lin Mingcheng heard his words, how could he not know the sound? Isn’t this person the little boy he saved with the former crown prince and the current emperor when he was a attendant of the prince more than 20 years ago? Unexpectedly, the Lin family was destroyed and the emperor was actually the killer of the emperor.

"My Lin family has been prime minister for generations, loyal to the emperor, and devoted himself to the world of Southern Chu. My wife Yun, her brother, Prince Yun, is still fighting against Western Qin on the border of Southern Chu. The Lin family and Yun family have made countless contributions to the people of Southern Chu. What mistakes have we made and will we suffer this sudden disaster?"

"It's just your fault that Lin's Mansion and Prince Zhong's Mansion are too powerful, it's just your fault that your daughter is the crown princess."

Lin Mingcheng smiled bitterly. He had thought about this at the beginning. Once the three families of Rong Prince's Mansion, Lin Prince's Mansion and Zhong Prince's Mansion established a connection, it would be enough to shake the country of Nan Chu. The emperor would definitely be afraid, so he never expressed his position in the court. Unexpectedly, he could not escape. Lin Mingcheng picked up the sword and said, "If the king wants his minister to die, the minister has to die." After saying that, he committed suicide.

The man in black searched through the Lin Mansion but did not find the thing they were looking for. He walked to the center of the courtyard and saw Lin Qing picking up the Eastern Palace token that had fallen to the ground. A woman should not be able to escape the pursuit of the secret guards he trained with his own hands. So he picked up the token, threw it on a maid, and then ordered the burning of Lin Mansion.

For a moment, the fire surged into the sky, and the people around the Lin Mansion were all awakened by the skylight. They had received a lot of favors from the Lin family and tried their best to put out the fire, but the fire was too big. By the time the people of Jingzhao Mansion arrived, the Lin Mansion had become a ruin.

Lin Qingwan ran desperately. She hid in the street for a while, so that the man in black behind her could only chase her separately, and then ran outside the city. Unexpectedly, she was discovered. She ran into the woods, her clothes were cut many times, and her arms and face were scratched. She survived and waited until faith supported her. She had something to do, but the cliff at the end of the woods, such a high cliff, would it be possible to survive if you jumped? But staying there was a death. When she thought of this, she jumped without hesitation.

The man in black who was chasing Lin Qingwan didn't expect her to jump off the cliff. He looked down the cliff and couldn't see the bottom of it. Lin Qingwan was already injured, so how could he live if he jumped down? Thinking of this, he returned the same way.

Chu Heng dreamed that Lin Qingwan jumped off the cliff and woke up instantly. He felt more and more uneasy. Suddenly, the voice came from the door, "Your Highness, Your Highness - something is wrong!" A eunuch rushed in. The eunuch ran in a little anxiously, panting, and speaking intermittently. "The palace, outside the palace. There was news, Lin's mansion...there was a fire in the Lin mansion..."

As soon as he heard the words Lin Mansion, Chu Heng picked up his cloak and walked out quickly without waiting for him to finish speaking. Xiao Han knelt at the door, and Yu Xi and Yu Ran were kneeling behind him, "What's going on? What happened?"

"Your Highness, Lin's mansion caught fire late at night, and there were burnt corpses everywhere. Someone found the East Palace token on one of the female corpses..."

After hearing Yu Xi's words, Chu Heng was shocked. He gave the East Palace token to Lin Qingwan. Then she... he couldn't believe this and rushed to Lin's mansion immediately.

Chu Heng and Xiao Han rode to Lin Mansion, and saw Jingzhao Prefecture Prefecture and Dali Temple Minister were both outside Lin Mansion. The former luxury mansion was now burned beyond recognition.

"I'm going to see His Highness the Crown Prince," Chu Heng had no time to listen to them, he just wanted to see the corpse with the token of the East Palace. The Dali Temple Minister pointed to a corpse. The body could no longer recognize its appearance, but its figure was exactly the same as Lin Qingwan. Despite this, Chu Heng could not believe that Lin Qingwan died like this...

Xiao Han knelt beside him, "Your Highness, it's all the fault of his subordinates. He shouldn't let the Empress be alone in Lin's Mansion and return to the East Palace by himself..."

After hearing Xiao Han's words, Chu Heng pulled out the sword of a guard next to him and pressed it against Xiao Han's neck, "What did I say before leaving the Lin Mansion? If something happens to Qingqing, come and see you!" At this time, Chu Heng's eyes were scarlet and obviously had lost his consciousness. It is very likely that he would really kill Xiao Han.

After Chu Yu learned that the Lin Mansion had caught fire and no one survived, he immediately rushed to the Lin Mansion. When he arrived outside the Lin Mansion, he saw the scene of Chu Heng holding a sword against Xiao Han’s neck in a ruin. He stepped forward and grabbed Chu Heng’s arm, “What is the Fourth Brother doing?”

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince." The prefect of Jingzhao and the minister of Dali Temple saluted Chu Yu, but they did not dare to stop Chu Heng. It was inconvenient for them to interfere with the matter of the master and servant of the family.

"Your Highness Ninth, it's Xiao Han's fault. Xiao Han didn't protect the Crown Princess and was willing to die."

Xiao Han's words undoubtedly showed that Lin Qingwan was indeed dead in this fire, but Chu Yu understood the truth that the deceased had passed away. Even if Xiao Han died for Lin Qingwan now under Chu Heng's sword, he would not be able to replace Lin Qingwan's life. "Fourth brother thinks three times, and the fourth sister-in-law doesn't want to see the fourth brother paying Xiao Han's life for her..."

After hearing Chu Yu's words, Chu Heng still did not take back the sword against Xiao Han. He knew that Xiao Han could not be blamed for this matter. He was also wrong. He should have let Qingqing go back to the palace with her... Thinking of this, Chu Heng suddenly lost all his strength, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell backwards...

"Your Highness!" Xiao Han shouted, "Come on now."

The prefect of Jingzhao and the minister of Dali Temple were instantly panicked. If something happened to Chu Heng, they would not even think about living. They quickly sent soldiers to find a carriage and sent Chu Heng back to the East Palace.

For a moment, the news of the Lin family's destruction spread throughout the capital. The people were sad that they had lost a good prime minister, and the civil and military officials were also very sad. Lin Cheng had the kindness of many of them who had known each other. The queen could not believe that the Lin family was gone like this. The demise of the Lin family was like breaking the arm of the prince. The prince's power was greatly reduced. When Yun Qingyan heard about this, he was angry on the spot and vomited a mouthful of blood and fell down. From then on, he couldn't stand ill... The happiest person was Concubine Shen and Marquis of Jian'an. When Lin Xiang fell, the prince's power was greatly reduced. The new prime minister must recommend their own people to the throne.
