With all the spiritual energy instilled in his legs, Meng Li rushed back to the Prince's Mansion, and then in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion with a panic look on his face, he asked someone to report to the Crown Princess inside.
Said she had something very important to see the Crown Princess.
The princess had been crying since the prince left. She didn't know what her next fate would be. She was so confused that she didn't go anywhere in the main hall.
Hearing that Shu Yi, the prince's personal guard, wanted to see her, he called Meng Li in without thinking.
Meng Li went in and bowed to the Crown Princess, his face a little flustered.
Seeing this, the Crown Princess's heart sank, thinking that something had happened to the Prince, but she calmed down and asked:
"Shuyi, what's going on?"
Meng Li said:
"Princess, I just received a letter, and the person said that he must show it to you."
Meng Li handed the letter written in his own handwriting to the princess.
It was her handwriting, Meng Li's, which no one had ever seen before.
In the letter, Meng Li told the princess that if she wanted to save the prince, she must lead people to put out the fire. He also wrote a location where it would definitely be fruitful to lead people there.
The writing was incomprehensible, but Meng Li didn't understand it clearly.
It's too clear to be true.
She really tried her best, and it felt like she was really heartbroken for this prince.
During this period of time, she had spent money and energy on the prince's affairs, and she had lost weight.
It also hides merit and fame.
The Crown Princess looked puzzled as she looked at the letter in Meng Li's hand, took the letter, and immediately opened it to read.
After looking at it for a while, he raised his head and looked at Meng Li. His face was full of doubts, and he didn't quite understand what it meant. He asked Meng Li to retreat first.
Meng Li left the main hall, and soon after, the Crown Princess called her maids and hurried back to the Zhongyong Marquis' residence.
When Meng Li saw that the Crown Princess had left, she slipped out again, arrived at the second prince's house, and set the second prince's house on fire.
When the second prince learned that the prince had been taken away by the emperor's people, he looked proud. He suddenly felt that he was the winner. He got two glasses of wine and planned to drink some to celebrate while waiting for news from the palace.
Things weren't settled yet, and he couldn't sleep.
But before I had two drinks, I heard the servant shouting that the water was gone.
The second prince was startled and quickly ordered people to put out the fire, but the fire grew stronger and stronger, and for a while the fire in the second prince's mansion soared into the sky.
It was not late at night at this time, and no one was asleep in the second prince's mansion. There were no casualties, and everyone ran out to help put out the fire.
Xu Caishan, wearing thin clothes and a cloak, looked at the second prince and asked:
"what happened?"
The second prince was a little unhappy. This woman always had such a condescending attitude in front of him, but he still said:
"I don't know why, but there was a fire in the west yard."
Xu Caishan frowned, this didn't happen in her previous life.
what happened
But Meng Li was miserable. There was thick smoke billowing from the fire place. Meng Li felt like he was about to choke to death. He covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and then picked up a box of armor...
It had to be said that when Meng Li lifted the heavy iron box onto her body, her shoulders sank and she felt like she was about to be crushed.
In addition, the iron box was wrapped with cotton cloth by Meng Li. The cotton cloth was wet, otherwise the iron box would become very hot if it entered a high temperature environment.
It adds weight to the iron box.
It was too heavy, Meng Li gritted his teeth. Fortunately, he had practiced for such a period of time, otherwise he would not have been able to carry such a heavy box.
Meng Li moved the box and entered the Second Prince's Mansion. He found a utility room and put the box of armor in it. He then looked at the servants in the Second Prince's Mansion who were busy putting out the fire and did not even notice the flames inside. she…
This was really hard work. Meng Li was a little overwhelmed, so he tried his best to carry the boxes in one by one.
You have to be fast and have accurate eyesight, otherwise you are very likely to get injured.
If she hadn't wrapped her head in a wet cloth, her hair would have been burned by the fire.
The Crown Princess hurried back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion with the misty letter written by Meng Li.
The Crown Princess was the favorite of Marquis Zhongyong. As soon as she entered the house, she met her father, Marquis Zhongyong.
When the Marquis saw the Crown Princess, he hurriedly said:
"You're back?"
"I expected you to come back. I'll wait for you at the door."
The Crown Princess was immediately moved and saw her brothers, neatly dressed, walking towards her. She burst into tears and said:
"Thank you father and brother for your love."
The Marquis waved his hands and said:
"Let's not talk about that first, let's talk about what's going on?"
The Crown Princess quickly took out the letter from Meng Li and said:
"I don't know who wrote the letter, and I don't know if this person is reliable."
"I don't quite understand what it means. The prince has entered the palace now, and my daughter has no idea, so she wants to ask her father to help take a look."
"It's better to help my daughter make a decision."
After saying that, he handed the letter to the Marquis. The Marquis quickly looked at it and handed the envelope to the Crown Princess's brothers. They circulated it to each other. Before they could speak, they looked up and saw the flames in the second prince's residence rising to the sky.
Several people looked at each other, and the Marquis said decisively:
"Without further ado, let's go!"
When things come to this, one can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Even if there is no gain, it can be said to be helping to put out the fire.
Yes, he is so warm-hearted.
The Marquis took his sons and some officials with whom he was usually friends and went to the second prince's mansion to put out the fire.
The Crown Princess was very uneasy and didn't know if the Crown Prince had entered the palace or if she had seen the Emperor.
Zhongyong Hou led a group of people to the second prince's house. The second prince's door was open. There was a fire, so the door was naturally open.
When Marquis Zhongyong and his party entered the mansion, they saw Wei Zining and Xu Caishan standing in the front yard. When the second prince saw Marquis Zhongyong and his party, he immediately felt that the visitors were evil.
Before he could speak, Zhongyonghou took the lead and ordered his servants:
"There is a flood in the Second Prince's mansion. Go and help put out the fire."
The servants who came with Hou Zhongyong were ordered to go directly towards the courtyard where the fire broke out. Wei Zining looked ugly, stared at Hou Zhongyong and said in a deep voice:
"Isn't this not good?"
"I will handle the matters in my palace on my own."
The Marquis smiled and said:
"Second Prince, I am really worried about the safety of the Second Prince. In the face of the Second Prince's safety, I don't care so much."
Wei Zining wanted to stop the people brought by Zhongyong Hou, so he refused:
"No need, please Zhongyong Hou go back first."
Mr. Hou said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's already here. The fire is so big, it's better to put it out as soon as possible."
Wei Zining choked, although he didn't know what the other party meant, but if he drove people away like this, delayed putting out the fire, and burned the prince's palace to the ground, he would not be punished by his father.
It must be said that he is narrow-minded and does not get along with the courtiers.
He also asked Zhong Yonghou and his group to get a good person for nothing.
Besides, there is nothing shameful in his mansion.
It is impossible to find something that can make a fuss about him.
Wei Zining looked at the servants brought by Zhongyong Hou, but they were no longer there. It was too late to stop them now.
Wei Zining felt unhappy, flicked his sleeves, snorted, and said no more.
