After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

It is impossible for civil and military officials to put down their families and hard-won official positions and really sacrifice their lives for Fu Xingzhou.

Although the common people may be in trouble for a while, she will explain it well afterwards.

This time, she won't let anyone stop her.

Just when Su Qingcheng was about to take the last step, the entire prison burst into flames. In an instant, the flames started to leap into flames.

All the officials were shocked and speechless. The sudden fire burned half the sky red.

Su Qingcheng realized something was wrong, and she began to look for Ye Tantai: "Where is Ye Tantai?"

Her heart seemed to be tugged. This unknown fire was probably started by Ye Tantai, but now the fire was raging and the people putting out the fire couldn't get in. Why hasn't Ye Tantai come out yet?

Wu Ya obviously realized this and said: "Your Highness...ask me to protect you. He didn't come out at that time."

Su Qingcheng ordered sternly: "Call all the people in the palace who are free now to put out the fire."

It only takes about one stick of incense to reach the top from the deepest part of the dungeon, but now that one stick of incense has passed, Ye Tantai has not come out.

Could he have been trapped by the fire?

It seemed that the fire started from the inside. If the outside collapsed after a while, it would be difficult to get in or out again, but it would be difficult to reach the sky.

Su Qingcheng's heart ached violently. Did he do this because he knew that he was in a difficult position?

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed into the fire and said dumbfounded: "Princess, someone is coming out!"

Su Qingcheng immediately turned around and saw the man who worried him walking out of the fire with Fu Xingzhou's head in his hand.

People outside had nothing to say except shock.

It is said that King Nanye Yunan exists like the King of Hell. Only today did they understand how aptly this sentence describes him.

At this moment, Ye Tantai walked out of the fire, deeply engraved in everyone's heart. He was holding a sword in his left hand and Fu Xingzhou's head in his right hand.

The man's face looked calm and without any expression. His eyes swept over the ministers under the stairs, his eyes so cold that he looked like he was looking at a pile of dead things.

With a full sense of intimidation, he has the aura of a king.

Su Qingcheng rushed over and hugged him without thinking.

"If you want to set a fire, I can come out and put you in again. If anything happens, what do you want me to do?" Her voice sounded a little crying.

In front of others, she was a strong and independent princess, but she would become cautious when it came to Ye Tantai's affairs.

Ye Tantai put down the sword in his hand and hugged her with one arm.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be a widow."

Su Qingcheng left, a little angry but coquettishly: "Why are you still joking?"

Ye Tantai chuckled and said, "I can help you with anything that is inconvenient for you to do."

No one among the kneeling officials dared to move. Ye Tantai's appearance was terrifying.

He casually threw the head to the ground and said, "I am the Yunan King of Nanye. It is justifiable to kill him. Do you have any objections?"

There was silence, no one dared to speak.

Since they said Su Qingcheng couldn't be killed, then he should do it.

Fu Xingzhou's head rolled on the ground a few times and then stopped. His face was facing the crowd below. His eyes were still open, fearful and unbelievable.

I don't know how long it took, but Mr. Xining came to his senses and said, "King Yu Nan is deliberately damaging our Beiyuan Prison. There are not only prisoners like Fu Xingzhou imprisoned here, but also some people whose crimes are not worthy of death." You burned me alive!"

In this group of officials who act according to the current situation, as long as someone stands out, someone will echo them, and they will all criticize as if they have found a target.

"Yes, if you want to kill Fu Xingzhou, just chop off his head. Why do you want to burn down my Beiyuan Prison?"

"Some of them even committed a small crime of theft and were burned to death by you."

"They say a person must be punished with a life. King Yunan, isn't the life of these prisoners not life?"

Su Qingcheng closed her eyes.

These people are seriously, too noisy.

"Who has evidence to prove that the fire was set by King Yunan? Isn't he just a poor man who escaped from death?" Su Qingcheng said.

"But this fire is clearly lit from within." Those people said without giving up.

In short, today they are going to put a crime on either of them, so that they can go back and explain to the National Preceptor.

Su Qingcheng only felt disappointed.

"Yes, Princess, you can't just cover him up like this. Do you still think it's a fire from heaven?"

"In my opinion, this is the sky fire." Xiao Guoliang's loud voice came.

Along with his voice came hundreds of imperial guards. They surrounded the burning prison and stood behind Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai to support them.

"The weather is nice today, so I took all the prisoners in the dungeon out to bask in the sun privately. Just as I was about to come back, I found a fire in the prison and asked the princess to punish them." Xiao Guoliang knelt down on one knee in front of Su Qingcheng.

"General Xiao's merits and demerits are equal, so the punishment will be waived." Su Qingcheng said.

She looked at Ye Tantai beside her. The man did not say anything. It seemed that he had already made arrangements. Even if she killed Fu Xingzhou in prison today, Ye Tantai would set off this fire to cover up for her.

Almost half of the maids and eunuchs in the entire palace came to put out the fire. The fire burned for three hours before it was put out.

The prison was in ruins.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this dilapidated prison, which is very sad.

On the wall opposite the prison, three people stood.

"You just set my prison on fire?" the empress said calmly.

Ye Tantai played with the jade ring in his hand casually and said, "I have already sent the money needed to rebuild a prison to the Yangxin Palace."

The empress said: "I am not short of money, but what you owe me cannot be settled by money."

She turned to look at Su Qingcheng, who had been silent, her voice softened, and said, "Are you really planning to go back to Nanye with him?"

Su Qingcheng was stunned and said, "Well, don't you want to know what happened to your mother back then?"

"But you just came back... I'm still waiting for you to inherit my mantle." There was a trace of reluctance in the empress's eyes.

"Beiyuan is peaceful under your governance. The only problem is the town management sent by the defeated country, which has now been solved." Su Qingcheng said.

"You...will come back, right?" the empress said, looking into the distance.

"I'll be back, aunt."

The empress' eyes were filled with tears when she heard the word "aunt". Su Qingcheng turned her head and saw the white hair on her head.

The three of them stood quietly like this for a while, and then Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai left.
