Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

A big fire burned the East Palace completely, leaving only the scorched bones all over the palace.

When the emperor learned of this, he stood up from the bed in shock.

Because of his actions, Mo Liyu was rolled under the bed by the quilt.

But even after hearing Mo Liyu's cry of pain, the emperor didn't stop for a moment, he rushed towards the East Palace non-stop.

The upper and lower parts of the East Palace had already been turned into ruins, which was glaringly imprinted in the eyes of the emperor.

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched a few times, and finally his eyes widened. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could this happen? Where are the people? Where are the guards of the East Palace?"

The audience was silent, and no one could answer the emperor.

The emperor kicked Li Dehai, and said coldly, "Where is he?"

Li Dehai was trembling all over, with a look of fear: "If you go back to the emperor, all the guards guarding the East Palace... also died in this fire!"

Hearing this, the emperor only felt his eyes go dark.

He held his forehead, and Li Dehai quickly knelt down to his side and supported him.

After a while, the emperor closed his eyes, and his mood could not be calm for a long time: "Check! Let the people from Dali Temple come over immediately! Be sure to investigate the fire in the East Palace!"

Li Dehai naturally agreed.

The emperor gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of anger.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Also, lightly point out all the corpses in the East Palace. As many people as there are in the East Palace, you have to count them out! Do you understand?"

Li Dehai understood that the emperor was worried that the fire scene in the East Palace would happen again today, and he was worried that the prince would abscond.

"The slaves know." Li Dehai's voice was very thin, and he replied in a low voice, "We will never let accidents happen."

Hearing Li Dehai's words, the emperor's mood just calmed down a bit.

He said to Li Dehai: "I'm going to sit here today and watch you lighten the number with my own eyes!"

It was another fire that burned everyone up!The emperor was really scared. He was worried that he would make the mistakes of the past again, so he wanted to avoid any future troubles.

Chu Yunyi died, and the emperor had complicated emotions in his heart. After all, it was the child he had loved for more than ten years, and the child he had devoted the most effort to, but!However, all these became fragile under the temptation of power. For the sake of power and to be in charge of the country forever, he did not hesitate to set up a situation, which forced Chu Yunyi to be imprisoned in the East Palace. Chu Yunyi could also play fake death for the sake of power. trick!

When the emperor thought of the orphan of the former prince who was far away in Shu, the anger in his heart couldn't stop burning.

"Why haven't the people from Dali Temple come yet?" His eyes were full of anger, "Could it be that you want me to invite you in person?"

Li Dehai hurriedly said: "Dali Temple is still some distance away from the East Palace. Lord Huang must be on his way. Your Majesty, since you are worried... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has absconded, why don't you send someone to guard the gates of the capital first? The East Palace is so big, It will take a lot of effort to pick up all the corpses!"

Hearing this, the emperor nodded slowly: "You are right! Let people block all the city gates immediately! No one can leave until the corpses in the East Palace are counted!"

"Yes." Li Dehai responded, walked to the side, and whispered instructions to Xie Yan.

Soon, Lord Huang also rushed to the East Palace with many subordinates from Dali Temple. He had seen the fire outside the palace, but he never expected that it was the East Palace that caught fire!

There were cold sweats one after another on Mr. Huang's forehead. He had seen such a scene when he was just a small seventh-rank official in Dali Temple. That time was the Qichen change!

His heart tightened, and he quickly knelt down in front of the emperor.

"See the emperor..."

"No need to talk nonsense." The emperor interrupted him in a cold voice, "Hurry up and count the corpses! Be sure to find out for me!"

"Li Dehai, tell him how many people are there in the East Palace!"

Li Dehai immediately replied: "Lord Huang, there are more than 120 people in the East Palace, including 40 eunuchs and maids, 20 guards, and the prince and princess..."

For the rest, Li Dehai spoke very quietly.

Master Huang listened carefully, nodded and led the people into the ruins.

The emperor was indeed as he said, sitting outside the East Palace from day to night.

At this time, one lantern after another had been lit all over the ruins, but this was incomparable to the brightness of the day, and the movements of the people in Dali Temple became slower and slower.

Seeing the emperor's eyes getting more and more impatient, Li Dehai coughed and said softly: "Master Huang, how long will you have to do this?"

Hearing this, Master Huang smiled wryly: "I'm afraid it will take three days, the East Palace is too big."

The emperor on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Xie Yan: "Let all the imperial guards come over, and make sure to count all the corpses before the sun rises tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

The emperor gave an order, and everything was answered.

The ruins of the East Palace were full of people, and the emperor stared at the movements of these people without blinking, lest someone would fish in troubled waters and bring in things that shouldn't be there.

The emperor's eyes were shining, and no one dared to make small moves.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, everyone counted all the corpses.

"If you go back to the emperor, there will be a total of 120 three corpses!"

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Li Dehai with his cloudy and tired eyes.

Li Dehai counted silently in his heart, and finally nodded at the emperor: "If you go back to the emperor, go outside the little emperor's grandson, there are only 120 people in the entire East Palace!"

Hearing this, the emperor nodded slowly, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and his voice was extremely cold: "The little emperor's grandson's body was not found?"

After he finished speaking, his sinister eyes immediately turned to Mr. Huang.

Master Huang immediately knelt down: "If you go back to the emperor, the little emperor's grandson is not yet one year old, and the baby's bones are already fragile. After this fire, it is impossible to leave a corpse. If there is a corpse, it will look a bit suspicious. gone."

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Huang has seen many vicious criminals, and his ability to recognize people's emotions by looking at their faces is first-class. Once he saw the emperor's appearance, he knew that the emperor did not want any blood left in the East Palace.

However, the emperor looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

"I have handled many cases, and I dare to promise the emperor about this." Master Huang said loudly, "I am the Minister of Dali Temple. If the emperor doesn't believe me, he can replace it with someone else to do this Dali Temple." Sir!"

Hearing this, the emperor waved his hand. Although he had doubts in his heart, he never said that he wanted to change someone to be the Minister of Dali Temple.

In today's court, there are not many officials like Mr. Huang who do practical things. Although the emperor doesn't know how to govern the country, he also knows that the more officials like Mr. Huang, the better.

Seeing that the emperor did not mention this matter any more, Master Huang gave up.

A sarcasm flashed across Li Dehai's eyes, the emperor was so ruthless, and he became suspicious of Chu Yunyi, the son he raised with one hand, only after being sad for a while.

After finally hearing the exact news, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment exhaustion welled up in his heart.

As soon as he stood up, he felt top-heavy, and before he could speak, his vision darkened, and he passed out straight away.

It was not a trivial matter for the emperor to faint, and everyone present panicked.

And Xie Yan moved the fastest, picked up the emperor in the blink of an eye, and ran towards the Zhaixing Pavilion.

The others followed Xie Yan one after another, fearing that something might happen to the emperor.

Now there are only a few young princes left in the whole state of Chu. Once an accident happens to the emperor, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, it will be a disaster for the state of Chu!

At the same time, outside the capital.

Gu Qingqiu took a few hidden guards and shuttled through the dense forests of Yanshan Mountain.

It was getting late now, and she had to live in a ruined temple.

Seeing her so calm, Zhuiyun became more frightened.

In such a short period of time, Gu Qingqiu was able to change from being heartbroken to such a calm appearance, Zhuiyun couldn't believe that this was the woman who was holding Chu Yunyi's corpse and cried so hard that she almost fainted.

The suspicion in his eyes became more and more obvious, he walked slowly to Gu Qingqiu's side, and asked in a vague way: "The princess seems to be very familiar with Yanshan?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "It's not familiar at all, it's just that there is a maid with a photographic memory by my side."

Ban Xia stood beside Gu Qingqiu, originally serving Gu Qingqiu, when he heard this, he showed a shy smile at Zhuiyun: "The last time I chased Xu Qingqing to Yanshan, I already wrote down the route .”

Neither the master nor the servant could find fault in their words, but it was precisely because they were too perfect that Zhui Yun became more suspicious!

His eyes flickered, falling on Gu Qingqiu and Ban Xia.

After a while, he whispered: "His Royal Highness died, and the Crown Princess seems to be in a good mood?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu's raised eyes instantly fell on Zhuiyun's body.

There was a gentle smile on the corner of her lips, and she asked softly, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting." Zhuiyun stared at Gu Qingqiu, and explained bluntly, "I just think that the princess's ability to restore her mood is too powerful."

Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, there was a touch of sadness in his eyes.

"What should I do, so that you can believe that I'm really sad?" Gu Qingqiu gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Do you think I should seek death and live, trying to be buried in that fire with His Highness?"

"His Royal Highness is dead, I wish I could go too! But what about our two children?" Gu Qingqiu said this, his voice became very sharp, "Do I want him to live under the supervision of others all his life? Even Can't live to be an adult?"

What will happen to the little emperor's grandson who has lost the protection of his parents?Just look at the few princes in the palace who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. When there is no threat, they are just kittens and puppies who can be dismissed at will. Once they have some abilities, they will be immediately removed from the imperial city. Erase!

Before Zhuiyun followed the queen mother, he did many things that harmed the morality, so when he heard Gu Qingqiu's hoarse questioning, he became silent.

He really didn't know how to answer Gu Qingqiu's question.

Does he still want to express his doubts about Gu Qingqiu?

Just thinking about it, Zhuiyun became even more silent.

He shut his mouth and sat aside holding his sword.

Gu Qingqiu wept secretly, but stubbornly wiped away the tears on his face.

Ban Xia supported Gu Qingqiu, and comforted him: "Crown Princess, you don't have to be too sad, as long as it takes a while, they will be able to see clearly your sincerity towards His Highness."

Hearing this, the tears on Gu Qingqiu's face flowed even more, she leaned on Ban Xia's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I really want... I really want to go back to the beginning..."

"The days with His Highness are the happiest times in my life, but in the future, I'm afraid I will never have such times again!" Gu Qingqiu choked up again when he said this.

When Ban Xia heard this, her eyes also turned red.

"Crown princess, stop crying! We have to hurry tomorrow!" Ban Xia persuaded in a low voice, with a trembling cry, "Even if you are sad, you should think about the little grandson! He is still so young, What should he do if his parents are gone?"

Gu Qingqiu held the child in his arms, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, so he could only choke up and say: "Cheng'er! Cheng'er is my life!"

She hugged the child, crying with snot and tears, and everyone looked heartbroken.

Several hidden guards walked up to Zhuiyun, looked at me and I looked at you, finally pushed each other, and said to Zhuiyun: "My lord, I'm afraid you have misunderstood the princess."

Zhuiyun rubbed his brows and sighed: "I was only quick-talking just now."
