The prince's walking time was also a bit weird. According to the distance from here to the Proton Courtyard, if there were no other delays on the way, he would have at least gone back and forth.

Moreover, if something really difficult happened, the prince would definitely send someone around him to come back and say something, instead of being silent like this.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the few people who were still awake in the hall had their own thoughts and plans.

The emperor's anxiety was written on his face, but the envoy from the Ziyan Kingdom had a faint smile on his lips.

At some point, I heard a sudden violent noise outside, and then the voices of servants came in all directions.

"Go to the water!"

"Come here! Put out the fire!"

Within a few seconds, looking out from the hall, one could see people running around with buckets to put out the fire. The fire must have been quite large. In the dark night, the red firelight reflected the large field in front of them.

"Come on!"

The emperor hurriedly walked down and dragged a young eunuch who was about to put out the fire, "Where is the fire?"

Everything was fine, why did it suddenly catch on fire?

"Your Majesty, the Xingyun Pavilion is on fire!" The little eunuch's face showed a bit of horror, "There is a strange phenomenon in the sky, a fire bird crashes into the palace."

As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, everyone in the palace who was still pretending to be calm suddenly became commotion.

Where is Xingyun Pavilion?

That was the palace where the Jinling Kingdom's imperial master was before his death. It is said that there are many strange objects in it that can protect their Jinling from generation to generation.

The previous Imperial Master had no direct disciples, so after the Imperial Master passed away, the Xingyun Pavilion naturally became empty.

In the past two years, the emperor has been secretly seeking people with extraordinary abilities, but he has never found anyone as talented as the previous imperial master.

Then what happened when there was a strange phenomenon that day, a fire bird crashed into the temple?

Before the ministers could react, the emperor ran out first. The ministers looked at each other and then followed him out.

Meng Rongzhen sat quietly in his seat, staring at the envoy from the Purple Smoke Kingdom with an increasingly obvious smile on his face, and the mystery in his heart became bigger and bigger.

He could neither believe nor disbelieve these so-called astrological theories.

But based on what happened today, it was obvious that the so-called "there was a vision in the sky and a firebird crashed into the palace" was all nonsense. The most likely thing was that people from the Purple Smoke Kingdom across from him were causing sabotage.

So who in the palace helped them plan and implement this plot?

Those who are familiar with the architectural layout of the palace and have time to implement it must be the people in the palace.

Moreover, this group of people had only recently entered Jinling Kyoto, so they probably didn’t have any free time.

There is another Ziyan man in this palace...

Meng Rongzhen stood up suddenly, and just as he was about to walk towards the opposite side, he was knocked unconscious with a stick from behind.

Meng Rongzhen: "..."

At the moment when he was about to lose consciousness, Meng Rongzhen saw the envoy of Ziyan Kingdom stand up and bow respectfully behind him.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Jing Ling threw away the stick and took out a handkerchief with some disgust to wipe the dust on her hands.

"I asked you, can you take some snacks when you pick up the sticks?" There are so many clean and beautiful sticks, but this one is stained with a lot of dust.

The envoy from Muxiang Kingdom scratched his head in embarrassment, a little embarrassed, "Isn't this just from the firewood shed?"

Jing Ling said nothing more and instead ordered the purple smoke envoy to take Meng Rongzhen away together.

The envoy from the Purple Smoke Kingdom was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, isn't this bad?"

"It's inconvenient for us to escape by ourselves, why should we take him with us?" Who in the world doesn't know Meng Rongzhen's famous title of "God of War"?

If they woke up halfway, they would probably be doomed.

"That's not possible," Jing Ling refused, "Although those idiots can definitely put out the fire, but what if?"

"In case..." The messenger was a little confused.

After thinking for a while, the envoy and the envoy from Muxiang Kingdom clapped their hands together, extremely shocked: "Your Highness/Sister, you don't like him, do you?"

The envoy from Muxiang Kingdom looked at Jing Ling with even more admiration.

This girl is awesome!

Not only is he smart and able to trick those stupid people in Jinling around, he also wants to conquer Meng Rongzhen, a cold flower who is a wonder in the world!

"Sister, just because we have set fire to our friendship and done bad things together, I support you!"

If you want love, you have to be brave and pursue it!

No one will pay for missed opportunities!

Even the God of War wants whoring!

The overlord raises his bow to bend his waist!

Jing Ling: "..."

Envoy from the Purple Smoke Kingdom: "..."

"Your Royal Highness," the envoy from the Ziyan Kingdom was obviously much more reliable than the envoy from the Muxiang Kingdom, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and Meng Rongzhen after such an incident today..."

Jing Ling lowered her head and looked at the man's resolute and handsome face for a long time without making a sound.

……

Amid the ups and downs, Meng Rongzhen covered his slightly aching head and slowly opened his eyes.

The carriage's charcoal fire was sufficient, and even though it passed through many icy places along the way, the interior of the carriage was always as warm as spring.

Meng Rongzhen couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the magnificent decoration in the car.

"Are you awake?" Jing Ling sat opposite Meng Rongzhen. Hearing the movement, he lazily raised his eyelids and took a look.

"Who are you?" When Meng Rongzhen said this, he found that his voice was very dry.

Picking up the teacup in front of him, Meng Rongzhen poured water for himself and drank it all in one gulp.

Jing Ling looked at Meng Rongzhen's natural movements, and her eyes couldn't help but slightly curved, "You are so smart, and you are already like a mirror in your own mind, why do you need to ask?"

When the girl smiled like this, her whole person seemed lively.

Meng Rongzhen looked at the girl's somewhat innocent face, paused, and couldn't help but lower his eyelids.

Who would have thought that the person who toyed with the Jinling Emperor and all the courtiers would be such a simple-looking girl?

Even though he had just woken up, he could guess that the weather outside had probably changed.

A natural phenomenon like a fire bird crashing into the palace, no matter which dynasty or generation it is viewed in, it is a sign of the decline of the country's destiny.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Meng Rongzhen looked outside.

There was a vast expanse of white snow outside, and there was not a trace of human life among the high mountains. Only a few solitary chaffinches passed by looking for food.

"Where are you taking me?" Meng Rongzhen changed the question.

"Purple Smoke Country." Jing Ling put down her book, stretched out, and asked the driver outside to stop.

The carriage stopped smoothly, Jing Ling put on her cloak, lifted the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.

Soon, Meng Rongzhen saw someone coming up from behind and handing a stove to Jing Ling. If you listened carefully, you could hear the creaking sound of the wheels rubbing against the snow. I guess there were quite a few people following behind. .

Meng Rongzhen sat in the carriage, looking at the people outside, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He has to go back.
