Nangong Yuan frowned. He liked Bai Ruo as his daughter-in-law very much, but unfortunately... he failed to discipline his child well.
"The Crown Princess was knocked unconscious with a stick, but because the beating with the stick was not over yet, they refused to allow anyone to treat the Crown Princess."
Nangong Yuan frowned, anger flashed in his eyes.
Lan Shaoling of the Lan family is too ungrateful. Now that he has Di Cang's support, he doesn't take the royal family seriously and actually dares to hit the princess. From now on, Di Cang will no longer be greedy for Bai Yan. I don't think the Lan family will be able to do anything anymore.
So established!
"Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
Before Nangong Yuan had time to speak, hurried footsteps came in from the door again. Like the previous eunuch, he hurriedly spoke without waiting for His Majesty to ask.
"The palace is on fire and the treasury has been burned. Your Majesty, run away..."
"What?"
Nangong Yuan was completely angry: "Who is so bold as to set fire to my treasury?"
"No...it wasn't burning the treasury, it was burning the prince's palace. It's just that the fire was too big and couldn't be extinguished, so it spread. Your Majesty, it's too late if you don't escape."
"Prince's Mansion?" Nangong Yuan's face was gloomy, "Did Lan Shaoling do it again?"
"No..." the eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It wasn't the young master of the Lan family, it was a girl brought by Miss Lan who did it. By the way, she saw that the flowers in the back garden were blooming well, so she had already done it before setting the fire.
They were all removed by her..."
Just as he was speaking, Nangong Yuan had already felt the approaching fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "Guard, retreat quickly!"
Fortunately, he stored all the important items in the storage bag and did not throw them into the treasury, thus avoiding a catastrophe...
…
At this moment, Bai Yan, who was resting in the ancient mansion, had no idea what was happening in the palace.
She was lying on the rockery with her eyes closed and taking a nap. Suddenly she noticed footsteps coming from the front yard. She just opened her eyes and looked at Chu Yiyi who was full of joy. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You're back?"
Only then did Chu Yiyi notice the woman lying on the rockery. She suddenly took a few steps back and looked a little guilty.
"Bai Yan, why are you sleeping here?"
"I'm waiting for you," Bai Yan jumped down from the rockery, her eyes swept towards Chu Yiyi and asked, "Did you get into trouble?"
Chu Yiyi laughed twice: "No, absolutely not!"
Obviously, Bai Yan didn't believe Chu Yiyi's words. She took two steps closer to the girl with a sinister smile: "You think I won't know if you don't tell me?"
"I..." Chu Yiyi took two steps back and said in a weak voice, "I just grabbed your cousin's stick, and I couldn't control the strength... I knocked Bai Ruo unconscious..."
Later, Lan Shaoling snatched her stick back, otherwise Bai Ruo would burp on the spot if she hit him with the stick again.
"This is nothing, what else is there?"
"I...burned the palace, but I didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Even the flowers and plants were removed by her...
Bai Yan's eyebrows twitched a few times, and she knew that letting this girl go to the palace would definitely cause trouble.
"It would be a pity to burn them. It is said that there is a lot of silver in the treasury. If you burn them, you might as well move them all away."
Thinking of those scrapped silver coins, Bai Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, although that money was already a drop in the bucket to her.
But who would complain about the lack of money?
Seeing that Bai Yan was not angry, Chu Yiyi turned his eyes slightly and walked towards Bai Yan with a smile.
