After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, his eyes darkening involuntarily.

She immediately raised her eyes to look at Chu Yanchen, "Please, Your Majesty, allow me to take Gu Qingshan away."

“Gu Qingshan must not be discovered in Prince Jing’s mansion! Otherwise, it will be bad for both the prince and me.”

Chu Yanchen heard what Zi Su said, although he knew that Song Mingli was telling the truth.

But when he heard that she was going to take Gu Qingshan away, his back stiffened and he was filled with anger.

He had no intention of letting Gu Qingshan leave alive.

"Some people do things that would be a relief if they died."

Song Mingli said calmly, "He should be allowed to live and suffer in agony, that is his punishment."

Chu Yanchen's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at Song Mingli, "You are right."

"But since he has been targeted, if you take him away like this, I'm afraid you will be in danger along the way."

Song Mingli nodded, "Yes, so I would like to ask the prince for a favor..."

After a while, an ordinary carriage stopped at the corner gate of the palace.

Zi Su supported Song Mingli and quietly went out of the corner door. She looked around cautiously before quickly getting on the carriage.

The other two servants supported Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan wore a black cloak with a large hood covering his face.

He was carried to the carriage behind by two servants.

The two servants settled him down and got off the carriage quickly. The carriage slowly left the corner gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, left the alley, drove into the street, and blended into the busy hustle and bustle of Kyoto.

The two carriages moved separately, and the one in front went directly back to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

Afterwards, the carriage with Gu Qingshan in it made a circle before heading towards the Changning Marquis’ Mansion.

Just as the carriage was about to enter the alley where the Changning Marquis' Mansion was located, a frightened horse suddenly rushed out from the side road at an extremely fast speed and hit the carriage directly.

"what--"

The driver screamed and fell off his horse.

The driver was thrown off the carriage and rolled to the side of the road.

There were also urgent screams coming from the carriage, and there seemed to be a small stove for making tea in the carriage.

After the carriage was overturned, the charcoal fire in the small stove also fell out.

"Master!" The coachman was about to get up and look at the people in the carriage.

Before he could get close.

"Boom——" the whole carriage suddenly caught fire.

This sudden change shocked the driver and the people around him.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"

"My master is still in the carriage!"

"Please, everyone! Help put out the fire!"

After being stunned for a moment, the driver knelt down and begged the neighbors for help.

There are large water tanks installed by the court on the streets to prevent water leaks.

The fire started suddenly and became extremely large, with the flames engulfing the entire carriage.

After the people around reacted, they immediately went to scoop water from the big vat.

“Fight the fire, put out the fire!”

"Put down the fire first!"

The fire was so big that people couldn't get close to the carriage unless it was put under control.

They were also afraid that if the wind blew, the fire would spread to the surrounding buildings.

Fortunately, there is no wind today, and there are high gates and walls on both sides of the road, so there are no flammable objects.

After the fire was put out, the driver who was putting out the fire was also blackened in the face. He looked frantically for people in the carriage.

The fire was so big that the frame was burned down. The people in the carriage seemed to have fainted and did not try to climb out.

The driver dug up the burnt frame of the carriage and found only a charred body.

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, looking dazed.

The two people who had been hiding in the dark, ready to launch a sneak attack at any time, looked at each other.

Quietly retreat and go back to deliver the letter.

A horse-drawn carriage was knocked over by a startled horse in the street, and the carriage caught fire unexpectedly, burning everyone in the carriage to death.

This is not a big deal, but it is also not a small deal.

Within an hour, it was presented to the emperor's desk.

The emperor looked up at the Third Prince, who was standing with his back bowed and a serious expression.

“You said that the fourth brother… committed adultery and murder, and the one who was burned to death was Gu Qingshan who disappeared a few days ago?”

"That's right!" The Third Prince said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it either, but the people from the government office who rushed there found this on the corpse."

The third prince took out something wrapped in a handkerchief.

The eunuch at the side stepped forward, opened it and saw that it was actually a burnt fish talisman.

Gu Qingshan’s fish symbol was made of jade. Although the person had been burned beyond recognition, the fish symbol was still recognizable.

The eunuch quickly presented the fish token to the emperor.

The fish token was engraved with "Gu Qingshan" as well as his identity and household registration.

The emperor frowned and raised his eyes from the fish symbol, "Even if it was Gu Qingshan who was burned to death, how can you say that it was the fourth brother who killed him?"

"This carriage left from Prince Jing's mansion!" said the Third Prince, "Also, Prince Jing invited Imperial Physician Liu Xu to the mansion a few days ago."

"Doctor Liu was treating Gu Qingshan because he was tortured in Prince Jing's mansion and was in critical condition."

"And today, someone saw Song secretly go to Prince Jing's Mansion and quietly leave through the corner gate of Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Prince Jing has taken good care of the Song family, especially Gu Qingshan's wife, Song Mingli."

"Prince Jing loves Song Mingli, so he harbors resentment towards Gu Qingshan. Gu Qingshan is undoubtedly a thorn in Prince Jing's side if he is alive."

“That’s why there was a car crash and fire today.”

The emperor thought for a moment and ordered Chu Yanchen to come to the palace to report back.

Chu Yanchen entered the hall and saw the third prince, with some surprise on his face.

There was a slight smile in the third prince's eyes.

Chu Yanchen bowed and without waiting for the emperor to ask him, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve.

"I have a secret book, please submit it to me."

Secret book?

The third prince frowned slightly. He was surprised that Chu Yanchen had a secret book.

But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that even with the secret book, he couldn't commit adultery and murder!

His expression calmed down again.

The eunuch presented Chu Yanchen's secret book and immediately bowed and stepped back.

The emperor opened the secret book and scanned it line by line.

The Third Prince and Chu Yanchen, who were standing in the hall, were observing the emperor's expression calmly.

The more the emperor looked at the secret book, the more solemn his expression became. He occasionally looked up and glared at Chu Yanchen with anger and even resentment.

The more the third prince observed, the happier he became.

What did the fourth child report? Why did he make his father so angry?

And this anger seemed to be directed at the fourth brother himself?

The third prince knew his younger brother's temper very well.

He was good at leading troops and fighting wars, and at a young age he had achieved immortal military achievements.

This also encouraged his arrogance. He relied on his father's favor and had a bad temper, and dared to contradict his father.

It seems that his secret book has touched his father's sore spot!

Just when I was reporting him for adultery and murder!

This time God is really helping me, the good days of the fourth brother are over!

The third prince took a deep breath, and as the emperor's face became more and more gloomy, his chest felt more and more comfortable.

The Third Prince glanced at Chu Yanchen and whispered, "Fourth Prince, you are not a child anymore. You can't rely on your father's favor and do things without scruples!"

"Aren't you making things difficult for Father? You need to be more restrained."

Chu Yanchen glanced at him and snorted with disdain.

Proud! It’s good to be proud!

If God wants to destroy someone, he will first make him proud.

The third prince was satisfied.

Little did he know that Chu Yanchen's secret book was exactly about Gu Qingshan.

There was even a confession signed by Gu Qingshan himself in the secret book.

The confession detailed how he had knocked Song Mingli unconscious on their wedding night seven years ago and sent him to Prince Jing's Mansion.

He wanted to use her in exchange for the life-saving red pill.

As for the rumor that Prince Jing had the Red Pill, and who asked him to exchange Song Mingli for the Red Pill...

Chu Yanchen wrote in the secret book that time was too tight and he had not yet been able to find out the truth of the matter.

The emperor closed the secret book, angrily slammed the imperial desk, and glared at Chu Yanchen, "If that's the case, you shouldn't have killed Gu Qingshan!"
