No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top
Chapter 255 Fire Warning
Yangyang lay quietly all night. When she woke up, it was already noon. However, the pain in her hands and feet prevented her from getting out of bed for a while. She could only lie quietly in bed, watching the birds flying lightly outside the window.
"Princess, the princess is awake!"
The maid in the bedroom reported, and several maids came in one after another to wash her and feed her medicine. Yangyang cooperated with their manipulation like a doll.
Thinking of what Tang Yuwei said last night, it is still ringing in my ears, but now he has disappeared again.
She lamented as if she were in another world, "Why did you bring this princess back instead of letting her die in the dark cell?"
The maids who were taking care of her heard this, but no one dared to answer. Instead, a voice came from outside the palace, getting closer and closer.
"Princess, now that you are awake, please don't be hard on yourself." Aunt Xi came forward and sat down beside Yangyang's bed. Seeing that the maids had just finished cleaning up Yangyang, she waved her hand and asked them to go out and wait. "Princess and I have something to say, you leave first!"
Yangyang leaned against the wooden cedar at the head of the bed, looking at Aunt Xi's shrewd face, "Ahem, Aunt Xi, are you going to torture me again?"
"Yesterday, King Rong issued an order. Since you have been punished these days and have repented, I will temporarily suppress the objections of the ministers and release you!" Aunt Xi said as she helped Yangyang gather the quilt around her. "As long as you listen to my arrangements in the future."
"What's your plan?" Yangyang smiled bitterly and closed her eyes because she didn't want to see Aunt Xi's shrewd face. "Then you might as well kill me! Professor Xi!"
"Kill you?" Aunt Xi sneered, "Maybe you were unconscious yesterday, and King Rong didn't tell you that he was willing to give me the latest data for you, so I won't kill you!"
"Leave it to you?" Apart from a hint of being touched, Yangyang felt more bitter. Her body was not worth exchanging for such a price now.
But thinking about the fact that Tang Yuwei was there yesterday and had a vague dispute with King Rong, Yangyang could not believe Aunt Xi's words. "Aunt Xi must have made some other requests, right? And what about General Tang? Where did you keep him?"
"He's a living person, why are we locking him up?" Aunt Xi was obviously a little impatient, and she stood up and said, "Now, you don't have to do anything. Just stay in this palace and you won't suffer that kind of pain anymore."
Yangyang didn't know what happened overnight, so she would not give up the investigation.
As for Tang Yuwei, when King Rong told him that he had to get the Bodhi string, he had a vague feeling that this matter was not simple.
In order to take Yangyang away, he had to leave the palace without even having the chance to say a word to Yangyang, and went straight to the Helan family's mansion.
As soon as I arrived outside the mansion, I saw a flame rising into the sky. The sounds of firefighting and people escaping could be heard throughout the mansion.
Tang Yuwei dismounted and climbed onto the roof where the fire was less severe. Only then did he discover that the fire was spreading from a side hall in the southeast corner to the entire mansion in the northwest with the wind.
After jumping off the roof, he immediately organized several servants who were fighting the fire to put out the fire towards the source in order to minimize the losses. At the same time, Tang Yuwei was also looking for Helan Qin's whereabouts.
"Send someone to the government office to transfer people to help!" Tang Yuwei asked the old housekeeper, and then asked, "Where is your head Helan Qin? Where is he now?"
The old butler was fighting the fire in the thick smoke. Seeing that Tang Yuwei was well organized, he did not ask about his purpose. "The master was originally in the study, which is on the south side of the main hall. I have organized a group of people to go there. I don't know if they have come out yet."
The fire was so huge, and the women in the family were frightened and ran away, making the scene extremely chaotic.
Tang Yuwei ran towards the direction pointed by the old butler amid the flames, only to see that the fire in the study was even bigger than that in the main hall.
Groups of servants, either fleeing or rescuing, passed by Tang Yuwei. He looked far away, hoping to find the whereabouts of Helan Qin.
The fire burned until dawn before it was completely extinguished, and the Helan Mansion became a ruin overnight.
As the morning light passed by, Tang Yuwei was relieved to find that Helan Qin was standing in front of the main hall with a dusty face, looking sad and absent-minded.
Tang Yuwei approached, "Fortunately, you are still alive!"
"I won't die!" He Lanqin crossed his arms and looked at the black beams that were still smoking. "This is first-class Huanghuali wood! Alas!"
"They are all external things. As long as you are okay, that's good!" It was the first time that Tang Yuwei comforted a man like this and she felt a little embarrassed.
But He Lanqin was in no mood to joke. He looked around and said, "He is warning me!"
"Who?"
Helan Qin took out a piece of rag from his arms, which seemed to contain something. He turned sideways and threw it to Tang Yuwei behind him, "Our investigation into the hidden withered grass has touched the people behind the Rong Kingdom!"
Tang Yuwei opened the rag and found a corner of a waist badge inside. "This material doesn't look like something from the common people?"
"Of course not. It's made of the same material as the Crescent Moon, but it's not polished as smoothly!" Tang Yuwei explained, and confidently concluded, "This is the waist badge of the commander's army under Commander Shen!"
"Shen Sheng? Commander of the army?" Tang Yuwei didn't expect the answer to be so simple. He Lanqin had previously investigated and found out that Shen Sheng's nephew Shen Dawei was involved in the medicinal materials business. Could it be that their Shen family did it?
"With this badge, let's go to the government office and bring him to justice." Helan Qin clenched his fists, feeling indescribable as he watched his mansion being burned down.
"If he really did it, and he told you so blatantly, do you think he would be afraid that you would report him to the palace?"
"That's right, I'm really confused by my anger. It seems that we are getting closer to the truth!"
Helan Qin calmed himself down. Fortunately, the Helan family's wealth spread throughout the entire Rong Kingdom, and the burning of a mansion would not cause them to fall into devastation.
And there were basically no casualties, which is fortunately.
He turned around and looked at Tang Yuwei, "Thank you for last night! The housekeeper has already told me!" At this point, Helan Qin really let down his guard against Tang Yuwei, and then asked worriedly, "By the way, you're back! Did you rescue Yangyang?"
"That's why I came to you!"
"Looking for me?" He Lanqin saw the emotion on Tang Yuwei's face, "You didn't rescue her?"
"King Rong made a deal with me!"
"What deal?"
Tang Yuwei said solemnly, "It is a string of Bodhi. Yangyang originally had one. Later, when I took Yangyang to my house, I found an identical string in my mother's room!"
"Exactly the same?" Helan Qin had a complex expression on his face, because he and Yangyang originally had an identical ring and pendant, which was a witness to their lifelong union. But how come an identical Bodhi bracelet suddenly appeared at this time?
"You're not making fun of me, are you?"
Tang Yuwei sighed and ignored He Lanqin's jealousy. "The key is that I was in Yuzhou some time ago, and Guan Changfeng sent me news that someone visited my house at night. I don't know if that group of people came for this thing!"
"You mean the bracelet is not in your hands, but is still in the Jingwei Mansion, and maybe it has been stolen by those people?"
"But why are they all looking for this bracelet?" Tang Yuwei frowned in thought, "Your Helan family has shops all over the place, so you should be able to find out the origin of this bracelet, right?"
"Is there any real thing?"
“I can draw it for you!”
