Concubine Duan understood all this, nodded slightly, and walked away with her maid.

When they reached the corner, Hong Shuang was waiting there. Seeing Concubine Duan, she hurriedly said, "My lady, please follow me."

Concubine Duan followed Hongshuang out and asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

"My lady, the master has left. Please rest assured that no one has seen the master."

"The person inside is..."

"It's Princess Heng, Li Shuangwan."

Concubine Duan closed her eyes deeply and said, "This is ridiculous. You should persuade him. After all, this person has a different status."

"Don't worry, madam. Everything will be burned. No matter how hard you search, nothing will be found. Madam, you shouldn't have come here today. The master did this for His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

Concubine Duan let out a long sigh.

At this time, the personal nanny also came over and whispered: "Your Majesty didn't want to come, but Concubine Shu insisted on dragging you here, and Your Majesty had no choice."

Hongshuang led Concubine Duan and the other two out of the courtyard, pointed to a servant waiting outside and said, "Your Highness, Hongshuang has to go back. Please follow him out of the side door. There is a carriage ready there to take you back to the palace. When your Highness returns to the palace, no matter who asks, you can say that you didn't know about the fire and didn't even take a hot spring bath. You were too tired and went back to the palace first. Her Royal Highness the Princess and Princess Jianing have also left."

Concubine Duan nodded, sighed deeply and said, "Okay, I understand. You have been by his side for many years and have his trust. Miss Hongshuang, he sometimes goes too far, so please stay by his side and persuade him a little more."

Hong Shuang smiled and said, "Your Highness is so kind. I will take note of this. My master said that once this matter is over, the Sixth Prince will be the heir apparent, and Concubine Shu will not have the chance to leave in such glory. I would like to congratulate Your Highness first. The clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared. All the hardship has paid off."

A smile appeared on Concubine Duan's face.

When Hong Shuang saw Concubine Duan off and came back, she saw that the fire had grown so big that it was impossible to put it out. She shouted, "Help, help! There's a fire!"

Nanny Zhao was awakened by the loud shouting. When Hongshuang asked someone to invite Concubine Duan over, she had already moved people to the front of the door.

When she saw clearly that the room in front of her had been engulfed in flames, her head buzzed and her face turned as pale as paper.

It's over, she and her son are all finished, His Royal Highness Prince Heng will not let her go!

The servants brought buckets of water and put them on the fire one bucket at a time, but the fire was too big to be put out.

Inside the house, Zhou Caiyao was awakened by waves of heat and found herself in a sea of ​​fire. Ling Shijiang did not rescue her at all. The fear on her face was no less than when she was pinned down and tortured by Ling Shijiang.

Ling Shijiang wanted to burn her to death. It was not enough that he had tortured himself to a point where his life was worse than death. He clearly knew that she was Zhou Caiyao, but he still wanted to burn her to death. This man was a madman and a devil.

She regretted that she shouldn't have cooperated with a madman for fame and fortune.

She shouldn't have trampled the bitch Li Shuangwan under her feet just to climb into Ling Heng's bed. She was no match for her at all.

But it's too late to regret.

Zhou Caiyao endured the severe pain in her body and rolled off the bed with all her strength, not caring about what clothes to wear. Even if she was seen naked, what could she do? She wanted to live, she wanted to live.

"Help, help, help, someone please save me, I am the Princess of Heng!"

She knew that if she revealed her true identity, no one would save her. Who would care about the life or death of an actress, even though she was now the nominal adopted daughter of the General's Mansion?

"Help me! I'm Li Shuangwan, the wife of Prince Heng, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. Someone please save me! Prince Heng and my parents will definitely reward me handsomely. Help me!"

In the blazing fire, Zhou Caiyao's cries were hysterical and weak.

Hongshuang's lips curled up. The girl was right. In order to save her life, Zhou Caiyao would definitely say that she was Li Shuangwan. This woman was scheming until her death.

Nanny Zhao was so frightened that she was shaking all over and collapsed to the ground powerlessly. The princess was really still inside!

Hong Shuang seemed to have just discovered Nanny Zhao. She rushed over with a pale face, pulled her up, and said angrily: "Aren't you the Nanny beside Princess Heng? Why are you here? Why is Princess Heng in there? Did you set her on fire? Are you going to kill Princess Heng!"

"No, no, no, it's not me, it's not me!" Aunt Zhao shook her head and waved her hands, trying to explain, tears streaming down her face: "I, I, I don't know either. The princess said she wanted to take a nap, so I came out. I clearly remember that I was guarding the door. I don't know..."

"Hurry up and save her! If anything happens to Princess Heng, you, a slave, will have no chance of survival!"

Hongshuang dragged the person up from the ground and threw him in front of the door. There was a blazing fire inside. A heat wave came over, and Zhao Ma was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly. The heart-wrenching cries for help inside came into her ears more and more clearly.

"Help me, I'm Li Shuangwan, I'm the Princess of Heng, please save me. Your Highness, my parents, they will all reward me handsomely... Save me..."

A servant who looked like a housekeeper said anxiously: "Miss Hongshuang, what should we do? The fire is too big and can't be put out. The person inside is Princess Heng. I'm afraid... we should report it to the police as soon as possible."

Aunt Zhao burst into tears and said, "Miss Hongshuang, please report to the authorities. I am finished, I am finished."

"Come here, go to the Dali Temple and report the case immediately, and quickly." Hongshuang gave a loud order, and immediately a servant rode on a fast horse and galloped towards Shengjing City.

As Hong Shuang walked out, he gave another order: "Send some more people down the mountain, ask the Five Cities Military Department to send some people over, and ask the Beijing Fire Division to help put out the fire."

"Yes." Several people rode their horses quickly down the mountain.

However, everyone knew that by the time the Five Cities Army and the Capital Fire Brigade arrived, everyone would have been burned to ashes.

As the villa suddenly became chaotic, Concubine Shu and a group of young men and girls who were taking a hot spring bath heard the noise and hurriedly put on their clothes and came over.

"What happened?" Concubine Shu asked in surprise. Shouldn't Prince Gong do such things in secret? Why did he make such a mess?

Someone shouted, "Look, there's a fire over there. Oh my god, there's so much smoke, it must be a big fire."

"This is where?"

"I don't know. Hey, why do I remember that Princess Heng seemed to go that way?"

Concubine Shu's heart sank suddenly, and she shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!"

As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the scene of the accident. They saw a raging fire that seemed to engulf a room, and heart-wrenching screams came from inside.

When Aunt Zhao saw Concubine Shu, she felt like she saw a savior. She cried and threw herself at Concubine Shu's feet: "My Lady Concubine, please save my princess. She is taking a nap in the room and has not come out. My princess is inside. Please save her, please save her..."
