The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Upon hearing this, Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but glance at each other.

The buildings here have always been easily ignited, so there are usually people responsible for watching over them. How could a fire suddenly break out?

"Prince and His Highness, please wait here for now. Let's go there to check the situation first. If it's dangerous outside, we will find a way to protect you and leave!"

After saying this, Zhu Lei left in a hurry!

Buildings are relatively easy to ignite. If the whole body is affected by one incident, I am afraid that many people in the city will be injured today!

Zhou Xiaoyuan wanted to follow him out, but Xia Yechen hurriedly stopped her!

"Don't go out, it's useless if you go out..."

It is very likely that the outside has been set on fire, so it would be safer to stay in the room they are in now!

"Shouldn't we rush out now?"

Seeing the thick smoke billowing outside, Zhou Xiaoyuan frowned!

She clenched her fists involuntarily.

"If you don't rush out now, I'm afraid there will be trouble again!"

Now that the fire has not completely burned out, it would be nice for them to get out!

but……

When she thought of this, Zhou Xiaoyuan was a little worried.

Zhu Lei just asked them to wait here and said that someone would definitely send them away. What if no one would send them away by then?

"Don't worry anymore!"

The little girl next to me volunteered to stand up.

"I'll just go outside and take a look. If the fire outside is too big, then just wait here. I'm sure Zhu Lei won't put His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess in any danger?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded!

The fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the huge fire alarmed the people in the yamen!

The fire brigade people hurried to Shuiyuntai!

Seeing the sky-high flames in front of them, which seemed to be swallowing up everything, several people in the yamen were almost anxious!

Shuiyuntai is usually full of noble people. If someone accidentally burns a noble person, I'm afraid everyone here will lose their heads too!

"The Crown Princess and His Royal Highness are still inside..."

Zhu Lei hurriedly ran out and learned that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness were also in Shuiyuntai. The few people in the Yamen rushed in regardless of the danger!

When they received Xia Yechen, Xia Yechen's house had not been burned down yet!

Under the escort of people from the yamen, Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan were quickly rescued, but they were in no hurry to leave!

"The fire this time is really strange. Besides, there has never been such a big fire in Shuiyuntai. I'm afraid there is another hidden reason behind this matter!"

Thinking of this, Xia Yechen followed Zhou Xiaoyuan to investigate the situation!

The fire burned for a full three or four hours. After all the fires were extinguished, the houses in front of them had been burned to ashes!

Looking at this black coal-like place, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt very uneasy.

"Why is there such a troublesome thing? What's going on?"

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Xia Yechen covered Zhou Xiaoyuan's nose!

"The things here are really too choking. Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll go back and rest after I investigate what's going on here!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan insisted and refused to leave!

"How is that possible? The two of us came here together. If I leave His Highness the Crown Prince alone, wouldn't I be the stupidest person in the world?"

She refused to leave!

At this moment, people from the government office next to him brought out several corpses!

These corpses were so burnt that it was impossible to tell who was who.

Seeing those corpses, Zhou Xiaoyuan screamed in fright!

Seeing this situation, Xia Yechen quickly called his guards over!

"Send the Crown Princess back immediately, and be sure to ensure the Crown Princess's safety!"

Many people died in this fire, and some of the minister's family members may have died, so Xia Yechen must stay at the scene for protection!

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want to leave at first, but seeing more and more bodies being carried out of the room, she finally had no choice but to obey and follow them back to the East Palace!

Before leaving, Zhou Xiaoyuan suddenly looked in Xia Yechen's direction.

"Why do I feel that the postures of the corpses just now seemed like they were fighting? Could they have been killed?"

Hearing these words, Xia Yechen was stunned!

He had been caring about Zhou Xiaoyuan just now, but he didn't observe the appearance of those corpses when they were carried out!

Now that I think about it carefully, those corpses do seem to be in fighting postures!

What kind of people are actually fighting in the fire? Or is the reason why the fire appeared because these people accidentally knocked over the candlestick while fighting?

The people in the nearby Yamen also listened to Zhou Xiaoyuan's words and began to conduct an autopsy!

During the autopsy, they found a jade pendant on one of the corpses!

The jade pendant is engraved with the word "peace"!

Seeing this jade pendant, Xia Yechen was immediately shocked!

If I remember correctly, An Bohou's youngest son's name is Zhang Ping'an, and he usually likes to visit places like Shuiyuntai!

Zhu Lei next to him was already extremely anxious.

"How come there is such a jade pendant? The texture of this jade pendant seems to be quite good. Is it possible that this time it really burned the noble man?"

When Xia Yechen came to the Yamen, everyone in the Yamen had already made way for him!

Only wealthy people would wear jade pendants. If my guess is correct, the jade pendant in front of me is most likely the one Zhang Pingan is wearing!

The more we think about this, the more scared everyone feels in their hearts!

The sound of some people chirping could be heard nearby.

"I just heard that a jade pendant was found on a certain corpse. This jade pendant is something only wealthy people would wear. Is it possible that a young master or a young master from a wealthy family was really burned to death in this building?"

"Who knows? This place is always a place where young masters from rich families often visit, but I didn't expect that the water would suddenly disappear this time. If it really accidentally burned the young masters from rich families, I’m afraid they’ll never be able to open this place again, right?”

"Should we leave here quickly? What if we are captured again and interrogated together?"

Xia Yechen also heard the voices of these people talking, but he said nothing on the surface. Before he determined the identity of the corpse, he could not reveal any traces of it!

The voice of someone from the yamen came next to me again.

"Your Highness, should we investigate this person's identity first? What if this person is really Mr. Ping'an..."
