Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Xie Jin brought the two to a safe place.

The people were terrified, and after escaping death, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After Xie Jin rescued the people, he arranged for them to evacuate and never cared about his own injuries.

Seeing him doing this for the people, Kangtai felt mixed emotions.

Your Majesty asked him to deal with Prince Rong.

This is King Rong. In today's Daxia, which soldier doesn't admire him?

Even he was impressed by Xie Jin's outstanding achievements and his fighting skills. Xie Jin was the god of war in their hearts, who would disregard his life and death for the sake of the people.

How could he have the heart to harm a prince who was so devoted to his country and his people?

Kangtai knew that the emperor was afraid that Prince Rong would become too successful and wanted to use him to get rid of Xie Jin.

But he himself was crowned king based on his military merits. Your Majesty has overthrown Prince Rong, and he might be the next one.

He understands the principle that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.

Kangtai was in mixed emotions. He stopped thinking about these troublesome things and went to help.

By the time Feng Qingluan arrived, Zuixian Tower had been completely engulfed in fire.

In a safe place far away from Zuixianlou Street, there were many people who were burned, hit, or trampled.

Feng Qingluan went over to treat him.

After the fire was almost put out, Xie Jin walked towards Feng Qingluan.

Feng Qingluan asked: "How many casualties?"

Xie Jin said: "Twenty-one people were injured and two died."

Feng Qingluan frowned: "Have you found out who set the fire?"

Xie Jin shook his head: "The murderer escaped, but the assassin who assassinated Xue Ming was from the Karen Kingdom. The fire in Zuixianlou may also be related to the Karen people."

Feng Qingluan was stunned: "Karen Nation, when did they sneak into the capital again?"

Xie Jin said in a cold voice: "These people are omnipresent. They have been lurking in the capital and have not taken any action since then."

Feng Qingluan talked about what she encountered when she came here:

"I was ambushed on my way to Zuixianlou."

Xie Jin's expression tensed: "Are you injured?"

Feng Qingluan said: "No, I didn't confront them head-on, I hid in the shop next to me and entered the space.

I heard them call the assassin Jin Shuo, who was leading the team, in space. Their goal was to capture me. They were under the order of the Saint. Could this Saint also be from the Karen Nation?"

Speaking of the Saint, Xie Jin's expression became serious:

"In the country of Kelun, there is a saint named Yuji. She is mysterious and unpredictable, and her whereabouts are treacherous. She wears a veil every time she appears, and no one has ever seen her true face. Since those people mentioned her, it means that Yuji may have also come to the capital. Are you their target?"

Feng Qingluan nodded: "That's what I heard from those two people. They want to catch me and threaten you."

Xie Jin said: "Then we have to be more careful before we find them and get rid of them."

This time, the Karen people came with great force. They assassinated Shangshu Xue Ming in the capital and set fire to Zuixianlou. On the surface, it seemed that they were targeting the people of the capital, but Xie Jin guessed that there might be other purposes.

That is King Kangtai of Zhenbei!

Kangtai was also among those killed in the fire.

The assassinations of Daxia's highest civil servant and the newly-appointed King of Zhenbei, these two events are linked together. Are the Karen people trying to cause unrest in the capital?

With the Fragrant Concubine causing trouble in the palace and people from the Karen Kingdom outside the palace, the situation in the capital is not optimistic.

Feng Qingluan also thought of this.

"We have to remind King Zhenbei to be careful recently."

After the two finished talking, they went to find King Zhenbei together.

Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan were handling two cases outside the palace. In Taihe Palace, Princess Qingyang Xie Ning came to the dungeon.

"That slut killed my mother! This princess wants to see her!"

Jiang Qu stopped her:

"Your Highness, the prince has said that no one is allowed to enter the dungeon. Ji Shu has a special identity, and she has not yet revealed the mastermind behind the queen's murder. This is a serious matter, so please forgive me."

Xie Ning's eyes were red:

"How can I sympathize with her? She killed my mother. Guard Jiang, let me see her. Maybe I can find out who ordered her to do this. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't see her."

Since the sudden death of Queen Li, Xie Ning had been in a coma for the past two days. It was not until this day that she came to the dungeon driven by hatred, wanting to ask Ji Shu in person why she wanted to kill her mother.

When she was stopped by Jiang Qu, she did not lose her temper nor put pressure on him with her status as a princess. Instead, she made a request as a daughter who had lost her mother.

Jiang Qu was in a dilemma.

Xie Ning cried:

"Guard Jiang, let me in. I won't do anything to her. I just want to ask her for clarification. You can watch me from the side."

Xie Ning had long lost the pride of a princess, and was left with only endless sadness and hatred.

She cried so hard that her eyes were wet with tears. Jiang Qu was touched and said:

"Okay, Princess, don't stay too long. She won't say anything, so don't get your hopes up."

Xie Ning said: "Okay, thank you very much."

Xie Ning followed Jiang Qu into the dungeon.

Ji Shu had been tortured and her clothes were completely stained with blood.

She hung her head lifelessly, and it was unclear whether she was awake or unconscious.

Seeing her, Xie Ning's hatred was real, and he questioned Ji Shu:

"Ji Shu, on whose orders did you kill my mother? Was it Xiang Fei?"

Ji Shu raised her eyelids with difficulty and saw Xie Ning. Her eyes were full of disdain and pity, and she said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Xie Ning became furious and slapped Ji Shu in the face.

Ji Shu tilted her head sharply to one side.

The pain from the slap was magnified by the drug, and she almost fainted.

After several rounds of torture and ginseng soup to keep her alive, Ji Shu was almost on her last breath.

Even so, she still refused to confess the truth, and said word by word:

"Yes...Rufei...instructed...you want...revenge, go find her..."

Xie Ning didn't believe it, pointed at her and shouted:

"It must be Xiang Fei. She is the master behind you. Return my mother's life to me!"

Xie Ning was very emotional, with anger filling her whole mind. She couldn't control herself and rushed forward to strangle Ji Shu's neck.

Jiang Qu immediately went over upon seeing this:

"Princess, calm down."

Xie Ning was completely blinded by anger and screamed "Ah!". Before Jiang Qu was about to reach her, a dagger suddenly appeared in his hand and stabbed into Ji Shu's chest!

"Princess, you!"

Jiang Qu didn't expect Xie Ning to carry a sharp weapon with her. He rushed over to pull her away, and saw Ji Shu's head hanging down without any struggle.

And blood was gushing from her chest.

Jiang Qu's heart sank. He felt Ji Shu's breath and turned to the jailer and shouted:

"Go get Doctor Meng!"

Xie Jin ordered the patrol battalion and the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the two cases of Xue Ming and Zuixianlou, and returned to Taihe Palace after explaining the matter.

I wanted to see how Ji Shu was being interrogated, but as soon as I stepped into the dungeon door I heard Jiang Qu calling for the imperial physician.

Feng Qingluan walked in quickly and saw Xie Ning sitting on the ground crying in agitation.

Ji Shu was on the rack with her head hung down, a dagger stuck in her chest and bleeding profusely. Jiang Qu was untying her and letting her down.

Seeing Feng Qingluan coming back, Jiang Qu hurriedly shouted:

"Miss Feng, come and see her."

Feng Qingluan checked Ji Shu's condition, took a breath, and said to Xie Jin:

"She is dying. I don't know if she can be saved."

Xie Jin said: "Do your best."

Feng Qingluan had Ji Shu carried into a room and quickly sent her into the space.

Xie Jin's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at Xie Ning and called Jiang Qu:

"what happened?"

Jiang Qu knew that he had made a big mistake, and he knelt down in front of Xie Jin, blaming himself:

"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Please punish me!"
