My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

After leaving the Happy Casino, Mei Xueer realized that it had snowed all night and the snow on the ground was already above her feet.

The heavy snow is still flying all over the sky like goose feathers.

The earth is vast.

She felt a little cold, so she pulled her clothes together and got into the carriage.

Gu Jia looked at her back, her eyes seemed to penetrate her clothes and fall on her lower back.

There, there is a faint, eagle-shaped birthmark.

Then, he turned his gaze to Wen Jia, and was frozen for a moment: With such a master by her side, I really don't have to worry too much.

Unexpectedly, Wen Jia also looked at him sideways. Gu Jia smiled at him and bowed in response.

Wen Jia's eyes gleamed, and he walked over. "I'm sorry to bother you these days. Manager Gu, I'll treat you to a drink when I'm free."

When he mentioned the word "drinking", he punched Gu Jia on the chest in an affectionate manner.

Gu Jia suddenly felt the blood rushing up and she was about to spit out blood.

"Brother Jia, you are so strong..." He suppressed it by force, swallowed a mouthful of blood, covered his chest with his hands, and took several steps back without showing any abnormality. "Okay, drink, drink! I... will wait!"

Only the two of them knew that although the punch seemed light, it was full of internal strength, and it hit the place that was injured last night.

Watching the carriage go away, Gu Jia's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The carriage moved slowly on the snow towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mei Xueer's nose felt a little sore.

She was made a laughing stock in the whole capital. She went to Prince Jing's mansion for more than three months and then returned to her parents' home in disgrace. She didn't know where Prime Minister Mei could put his old face.

I still don’t know what those gossipers in Beijing will say behind my back.

There is no way around it. Divorce is as common as farting in later generations.

But here, even if it is a divorce, it will not be a problem for men, but for women, the entire family of their parents will lose face.

What's more, her reputation is so notorious that those gossipy women must have already imagined a lot of scenes about how she cheated on her husband and how Prince Jing hated her and abandoned her.

Damn dog prince, he still hurts people even after divorce!

Just as I was feeling sad, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if a lot of people were running towards this side frantically.

Then, someone not far away shouted, "It's on fire, run for your life——"

She suddenly opened the bamboo curtain on the small window and saw a large group of people rushing towards this side desperately. Some of them didn't even have time to put on their clothes, and it was obvious that they had just escaped from their houses.

"Yi, go see what happened." Outside the car, Wen Jia suddenly became alert and gave the order.

Wen Bing quickly stopped the carriage by the roadside. There was something going on ahead, so he didn't dare to go forward.

Wen Yi came back very quickly. This time he didn't say anything. "There's a fire ahead. Not just one place, but multiple houses and shops are burning at the same time!"

"Both fires broke out at the same time?" Mei Xue'er had a feeling that this was not a simple matter. "Turn around and go back to the casino. No, turn around and go back to the palace!"

Since there were fires in multiple places at the same time, it is possible that Happy Casino is not safe either.

The first thing she thought of was the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, so it was unlikely that anything could go wrong there.

Could it be that the fugitive prince has returned?

She quickly searched for information about the prince on Baidu.

Unexpectedly, I actually found something.

[On the morning of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 18th year of Zhenyuan, a riot broke out in the capital, with unidentified people setting fires everywhere to create panic. There were rumors that the deposed crown prince was the rioter.]

The twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, isn’t that today?

Although it is a one-sentence news, it is updated very timely and is extremely easy to use, just like Weibo.

Who else could have done this except the deposed prince?

For the first time, Mei Xueer discovered that this father also had a cute side.

Wen Bing turned the car around and headed towards the palace.

Another carriage carrying Wen Ding, also driven by Wen Wu, followed behind.

However, less than two minutes later, when passing by a coffin shop, there was a sudden loud noise similar to an explosion in the coffin shop, and flames with thick black smoke spread into the air.

"Oil?" Wen Bing yelled outside, "Princess, they used oil cans, which are extremely powerful."

As soon as he finished speaking, the horse was frightened and neighed loudly, then spread out its four hooves and ran away.

"Bingzi, think of a way quickly and don't hurt anyone." Mei Xueer looked at the increasing number of people running around outside with frightened faces, and she was extremely anxious.

Fortunately, Wen Bing was a good driver and quickly calmed the horse down, but the other carriage was swept away by the crowd.

There were people everywhere, mixed with the cries and screams of adults and children.

Everybody was running around in panic because there were fires everywhere and they didn't know where was safe.

"Get out of the city, let's get out of the city!" someone shouted in the crowd.

Then, more people echoed——

"Yes, let's go out of the city! It's safer out of the city."

"Go to the north gate. This place is closest to the north gate!"

"Yes, go to the north gate! Go out of the city!"

"If everyone goes to the north gate, there will be too many people there and we may not be able to get out for a while. Let them go to the north gate and we will go to the west gate."

"Let's go to the East Gate..."

Goudan: [Someone is deliberately taking advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble?!]

Mei Xueer nodded: [These people who are leading the trend are most likely the spies that the deposed prince had planted in the city in advance.]

Goudan: [Woman, what should we do? You can't die. If you die, what should I do? ]

Mei Xueer: [People are rushing to the East Gate, West Gate, and North Gate, but no one is shouting to go to the South Gate. Goudan, what do you think? ]

Goudan: [Could it be that the deposed prince wants to sneak into the city from the south gate? But, isn't it easier to sneak into a place with many people? ]

Mei Xueer: [Everyone has gone to the East Gate, West Gate, and North Gate. The guards at these three gates will definitely be strengthened. Maybe the emperor will send troops to suppress them. When the city gates are closed, how can he enter the city under strict defense? On the contrary, the South Gate will definitely be more relaxed. If the deposed prince sneaks in before the city gates are closed, he will have a better chance of winning.]

Mei Xueer frowned, "Jia, take my token and go to the palace to report the news. Please ask the emperor to strengthen the security of the city gates, especially the South Gate. The prince is very likely to attack from the South Gate!"

Because she had to go to the palace frequently to treat the empress dowager's illness, the empress dowager gave her a token allowing her to enter and leave the palace at will.

"Princess?" Wen Jia refused to leave. The situation was so chaotic right now, he just wanted to protect Mei Xueer at all times.

"Go quickly! Meet at the Prime Minister's residence later." Mei Xueer shouted sternly, and Wen Jia had to leave reluctantly.

The secret guard's duty is to obey.

"Miss?" Nanxing was also puzzled.

After Wen Jia left, only Wen Bing and Wen Yi were left by his side. Wen Wu and Wen Ding didn't know what was happening to them.

Mei Xueer didn't say anything, her eyes were slightly red.

Not to mention how many people would be burned to death or trampled to death by these fires, even those who are still alive, once they gather at the city gate, if a stampede occurs, they will most likely die.

She couldn't bear to watch so many innocent people die in front of her.

Moreover, if the dog prince's conspiracy succeeds, once he comes to power, she will be killed without a burial place.

In such a situation, she must stand on the same side as the emperor.

There are more and more fire points.

The snow is still falling heavily.

But it couldn't put out the fire.

When the snowflakes came into contact with the flames, bursts of white smoke rose up, making the already dark sky even more gloomy, like the end of the world.

As more and more people came, the carriage could no longer move forward.

"Princess?" Wen Bing didn't know what to do.

Mei Xueer took a deep breath and said, "You must control the horse. We will stay here, in the carriage. It will be safer after all."

She clicked on the information on Dudie again, but there was no updated information.

"Nanxing, stay calm when things happen." She pulled Nanxing's hand and patted the back of her hand.

Looking at the deep eyes of his young lady, Nan Xing felt an inexplicable sense of security. His originally anxious heart gradually calmed down, "Well, I'll listen to the young lady."

Mei Xueer nodded at her.

Suddenly, three consecutive "clang" sounds were heard from the roof of the car. Then, Mei Xueer discovered that an unknown liquid was flowing down from the roof and dripping onto the bamboo curtain of the small window.

"Not good!" She was about to abandon the car and run away when Wen Bing and Wen Yi rushed in and each carried her and Nanxing out of the car.

Just as he landed, a fire starter was thrown out from the crowd.

With a loud bang, the carriage was quickly engulfed by thick smoke and fire.

Mei Xueer tried her best to suppress her pounding heart, "Let's go to the direction of the palace."

Wen Bing and Wen Yi protected Mei Xueer and her servant, and forcibly cleared a path through the crowd.

Another wave of people rushed over, and the sounds of screaming and crying were endless.

Suddenly, the crowd on the side collapsed towards this side like a wall.

If a stampede occurs, I don’t know how many people will die.

Mei Xueer subconsciously wanted to run to the side, but she couldn't run at all because there were people everywhere.

She stood there, having never experienced such a closeness to death before.

She looked in horror at the wall of people falling towards her like dominoes.
