Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 232 Fire in the East Palace

After hearing the news, Situ Yan was so angry that he kept walking back and forth in the palace. Looking at Bi Liu who was kneeling on the ground, he immediately said: "Lock up this slave who doesn't know whether to live or die!"

Now that Jiaoyang has left the palace with his military talisman, it is a huge threat to them.

Seeing that he was about to win, no, he absolutely could not lose, even if he was not his father's biological son.

After all, he is a relative of the emperor, and he can still sit in this supreme position in the world.

He gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Preach my decree and seal all the palace gates. Only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

As he spoke, he said to a secret guard beside him: "Inform Prince Su and ask his people to ambush on the way to the guard camp."

"Intercept the blazing sun and take back the weapon talisman! If you encounter resistance, kill!"

He had just finished giving all the instructions when he saw someone hurriedly walking in from the East Palace.

Seeing Situ Yan, he hurriedly knelt down and reported: "Your Highness, it's bad, the East Palace is on fire."

Situ Yan hurriedly asked: "Where is the fire?"

The man raised his eyes and reported back: "It's the firewood shed in the west courtyard, but the fire is relatively strong and has begun to spread to other courtyards!"

When Situ Yan heard this, he was shocked. Isn't that the place where Su Ying was imprisoned?

He grabbed the palace man's collar and asked sternly: "Is anyone injured?"

The palace man didn't know why, and trembled and said: "The fire was too strong, no one dared to step forward to put out the fire, but I vaguely saw a woman inside!"

Situ Yan couldn't care so much and immediately hurried to the East Palace with everyone around him.

When I was leaving the palace, I happened to encounter Dr. Zhang and two young doctors at the gate of the palace, who were being interrogated by the imperial guards.

Situ Yan paused and looked towards the door. The night was deep and the lights were dim.

He could vaguely see the three people with their hunched backs. Doctor Zhang was summoned to the palace by him. Situ Lin could not die yet, at least not immediately.

So he had to let Dr. Zhang enter the palace to show off.

Situ Yan took a quick look and took the imperial guards at the palace gate to the East Palace.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the East Palace, I saw the sky filled with firelight in the west, dyeing half of the night sky red.

There was a bang in his head, all because he was careless and was carried away by Su Ying's words.

If he had guarded Su Ying, maybe nothing would happen to Su Ying.

When he arrived at the west courtyard, the whole courtyard was in a mess. Palace people were coming and going, carrying water basins and trying their best to save themselves.

However, the yard was full of firewood, so how could the fire be extinguished so quickly.

The pungent smell of burning was everywhere in the air, and Situ Yan was heartbroken.

He casually grabbed a palace man and cursed angrily: "Go in quickly and rescue the woman inside!"

The palace man was startled: "Your Highness, such a big fire..."

Situ Yan's face was terrifyingly ferocious: "Go wherever I tell you to go. Where did all this nonsense come from? Go quickly. If you can't save her, you will all die!"

The palace servants were trained by him so that they did not dare to reply, but they did not dare to disobey his orders.

All he could do was take out a quilt, soak it, grit his teeth and rush towards the raging fire.

As soon as he rushed to the door, the beams on the roof suddenly collapsed. The palace man was knocked to the ground and was instantly surrounded by the spreading fire.

Situ Yan didn't care about the wailing palace man, pointed at another person and shouted: "Go!"

Seeing the person in front of him dying in the fire, the palace man dared to step forward and quickly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"You... don't go, just go alone!" As he said that, he rushed towards the fire.

The guard next to him tried to hold him, but he kicked him to the ground.

His indifference frightened everyone, and they all froze in place.

Situ Yan was walking forward, but he was grabbed by someone. There was a crisp sound, and Situ Yan turned around angrily, covering his aching face.

Chang Xiyao looked at him angrily and said, "Your Highness, who is hiding here, so that the prince is so disregarding his own safety, knowing that there is a dead end, but still desperate to rush into the fire?"

"His Royal Highness, you opened your eyes and saw clearly. Can't you see how dangerous it is inside?"

"With such a big fire, even if His Highness is allowed in, all that will be rescued is a corpse. Is His Highness the Prince going to die for his love?"

Chang Xiyao's words made Situ Yan gradually calm down. Yes, even if she was rescued, Su Ying would already be dead.

He slumped on the ground helplessly. Chang Xiyao saw that he was mentally disturbed and hurriedly directed the palace people to continue putting out the fire.

When the fire was completely extinguished, the body inside was carried out. The face was severely burned. It could be judged that the dead body was a woman based on the hairpin on the head.

He didn't dare to face this fact. Chang Xiyao saw his lost look and asked softly beside him:

"Your Highness, who is this woman?"

Situ Yan murmured: "Ying'er, Ying'er, my Ying'er is gone!"

Chang Xiyao was shocked and grabbed Situ Yan's hand: "His Highness said this is Su Ying!"

Situ Yan suddenly covered his face and cried bitterly. Chang Xiyao wanted to slap him again.

He dared to kidnap Su Ying and hide her in the East Palace. She had long felt that Situ Yan's behavior in recent days was a bit strange.

Today it seemed that he had been plotting this for a long time. She stared at the corpse in front of her, lowering her head and thinking.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she relaxed a little.

She grabbed Situ Yan's hand and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, this person is not Su Ying!"

Situ Yan raised his eyes and looked at her. Chang Xiyao pointed at the corpse and said:

"Your Highness, look, this woman is slender and not pregnant. Su Ying is already eight months pregnant. This woman is definitely not Su Ying."

Situ Yan finally came to his senses. He trembled and walked towards the body. After careful inspection, he determined that the deceased was not Su Ying.

Su Ying was still alive, and he felt inexplicably happy.

Then the smile on his face froze. If this person was not Su Ying, then where was Su Ying?

She was imprisoned here while pregnant, so how did she escape from the heavily guarded East Palace.

His people are all around the Jin Palace. If Su Ying goes to the Jin Palace.

It's impossible that no one came to report him.

He suddenly remembered the two people following Dr. Zhang when he first left the palace. One of them was hunched over. Although he was standing in the shadows, the weather was hot. He clearly remembered that the person was wearing a large cloak.

What are you hiding by wearing a cloak on such a hot day?

Yes, hide her belly.

He was sure that Su Ying entered the palace and went to Chengde Hall.

She has medical skills, if she is allowed to find out Situ Lin's illness.

Once Situ Lin wakes up, their plan will fall apart.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to verify who the dead person was, and hurriedly said to the guards beside him: "Quick! Go to Chengde Hall!"

Seeing his panic, Chang Xiyao didn't dare to ask any more questions. Now that the fire was still spreading, she had no choice but to order the servants in the house to put out the fire quickly!
