After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

Wen Ranyan curled her red lips and pretended to step forward and pat his shoulder as a way of comforting him.

Feng Qiwu's eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and he stared at her straightly, as if he was not satisfied: "Is that all?"

Wen Ranyan looked back boldly, smiling softly and charmingly: "Yes, that's it, and I see you're not very sad, are you?"

Feng Qiwu narrowed his eyes, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and after a while, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, what Yang Xuelian said is quite right. I am the child they raised, and they naturally know my character. But in the face of such a big thing, not only did they not care, but they also convicted me without saying a word. It's really cold and ridiculous."

"From the moment I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and then ruthlessly expelled from Feng Mansion, my kinship with them had long been severed. Even if she died in front of me, it would not stir up the slightest ripple in my heart."

"If it weren't for Yang Xuelian, I would have stabbed her chest with the short blade myself..."

Feng Qiwu spoke the last sentence in a cold and gloomy tone, with a hint of brutality and bloodlust in his eyes, but he soon raised the corners of his lips and calmed down for the time being.

Wen Ranyan liked his cold heart the most. When she heard this, she smiled more charmingly and tenderly, "This statement really fits your personality."

Feng Qiwu asked with a half-smile: "Then what kind of personality am I?"

Wen Ranyan's voice rose at the end, like a hook: "Of course he is cruel and ruthless, and will never let go of any grudge~"

The dazzling fire rising into the sky makes her eyes look like flowing water, as bright as rippling autumn water. When she smiles, it is so bewitching that makes people's hearts tighten and fall into an increasingly intoxicating river of honey.

Feng Qiwu stared at her smiling eyes, his black eyes sparkling brightly.

Just as he was about to say something else, he heard a flurry of footsteps coming from outside the cave.

Although this cave is hidden, the raging fire and the fireworks rising into the sky will naturally attract the servants in the mansion.

Feng Qiwu's eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness flashed across them, "Let's go."

It’s not that he was afraid of the group of servants, but the scene before him would definitely lead to misunderstanding. Even if he had a thousand mouths, he couldn’t explain it clearly. Besides, he didn’t kill the man, and he didn’t want to be tainted with blood for no reason.

Wen Ranyan naturally understood his thoughts, and she moved slightly.

In just a few breaths, the two men retreated from the cave and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The servants came up empty-handed, but when they saw Princess Jin'an burned to charcoal in the fire, they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. After a long while, they thought of using water to put out the raging fire.

But this fire was extremely strange. No matter how turbulent the water was, it could not threaten it in the slightest. Finally, the fire burned for more than an hour before it gradually showed signs of being extinguished.

After the fire was extinguished, all that came into view was a scorched earth. Princess Jin'an's body was burned to powder by the flames and blended into the scorched earth and could no longer be found.

She was a pampered princess in the imperial family, but after her death she turned into just a handful of scorched earth, without even a complete corpse left. It is really sad.

For a while, there were mournful cries in the Princess's mansion. Even though summer was approaching, it was still freezing cold.

After the thunderstorm, the night became even quieter.

The moisture in the air did dispel some of the summer heat, and the cool air spread like water. The pearl lamp niches on all four sides of the palace were moistened by the rain and became particularly bright and translucent.

Helian Xiao hadn't slept for half the night, but he didn't feel sleepy. Instead, he had palpitations, as if something big was about to happen.

"knock knock"

The sudden knock on the door broke Helian Xiao's thoughts, and he just said "Come in".

Then, Eunuch Desheng hurriedly pushed the door open, his face as pale as snow in the night sky: "Your Majesty, it's a big deal."

Helian Xiao's heart tightened and he frowned: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Desheng opened his mouth and said in a daze for a long while: "Princess Jin'an... passed away..."

After he finished speaking, Eunuch Desheng felt as if he was in a dream, and his feet seemed light and fluttery. The eldest princess was fine a few days ago, so how could she suddenly pass away today?

If he hadn't confirmed it again and again with the spies, he wouldn't have dared to come and report.

"Dead?" Helian Xiao's hand holding the teacup was a little unsteady, but he was the emperor after all, so he calmed down in just a moment without showing any signs of death: "How could she die? Wasn't my aunt holding a banquet in the mansion two days ago, and she was very energetic?"

"The spies said that there was a fire in the Princess's mansion." Eunuch Desheng said, "I heard that the fire was so fierce that it took more than an hour to put it out. However, the Princess had already been burned to ashes. Not even a complete body was left. It was really scary to see."

Hearing this, Helian Xiao stroked the jade ring on his finger and suddenly laughed deeply: "This fire is burning neither too early nor too late, just right."

His voice sounded like the cry of a jackdaw, adding a chill and eerie touch to the night.

After hearing this, Eunuch Desheng shuddered suddenly.

He subconsciously looked at Helian Xiao, but saw that half of his cheek was melted in the light and shadow. Between light and dark, it was like a ghost tearing through the sky, which was terrifying.

Eunuch Desheng did not dare to guess the emperor's mind, but he always felt that these words were filled with murderous intent, as if he had long wanted to take action against Princess Jin'an.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Desheng felt a chill on his back. Even though he was extremely scared, he could only pretend to be calm.

"How's the war going in Lingnan?" Helian Xiao took a sip of tea and immediately changed the subject.
