The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

The place where the two of them escaped was an empty street, but they could see flames rising from the Fan Mansion.

Ouyang Miaoling said, "Let's go back with mother. She will take care of everything."

"Okay... I was just about to go back to see Li'er. Mom, how is Sister Li now? Is there any chance that she can wake up?" Ouyang asked with concern.

Ouyang Miaoling looked at him in shock, and suddenly she remembered that her son might not know that her daughter was getting married.

So he took Ouyang Yi's hand and said as they walked: "Li'er has woken up, don't worry!"

"Really? Sister Li is awake?" Ouyang Yi said excitedly when he heard his sister wake up.

"But..." Ouyang Miaoling paused, and Ouyang Yi's heart immediately tightened, fearing to hear bad news.

Ouyang Miaoling saw her son's nervous expression and suddenly laughed out loud. She comforted him, "Your sister is fine, you don't have to worry. But she got married while you were away. You must give her a wedding gift when you go back!"

When Ouyang Yi heard his mother say this, he was shocked. He said in an angry tone: "Which brat married my sister away? Mother, how could you marry Li'er in a hurry when I was not around? I only have this one sister, and I didn't even send her off to get married. This will make me regret it for the rest of my life." Ouyang Yi pretended to be angry and complained.

Ouyang Miaoling comforted her as they walked: "Li'er has found a good husband, you should bless her and not worry about such a small matter."

Ouyang Yi wondered who his brother-in-law was, and which brat had gotten so lucky.

He stared intently into his mother's eyes and asked solemnly, "Mother, you have said a lot, but you haven't told me which bastard kidnapped Li'er?"

Ouyang Miaoling sighed softly and said slowly: "You also know him, that brat from the Jun family, Jun Rui."

Ouyang Yi was not surprised when he heard the name Jun Rui, but seemed a little calm. This made Ouyang Miaoling curious, and she asked doubtfully: "Did you know about this a long time ago?"

Ouyang Yi showed a smug smile on his face and answered confidently: "Except for Jun Rui, I really can't think of anyone else who can be worthy of my sister Li'er."

Ouyang Miaoling couldn't help but teased: "Oh, it seems that you are very confident in your own vision!"

Ouyang Yi raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Of course, as my friend, Jun Rui is still trustworthy."

The two chatted as they walked and returned to the Regent's Palace together.

The Fan family was already in chaos. In order to make a last-ditch effort and eliminate future troubles, they directly burned down the study. Although this helped to get rid of the hatred in their hearts, they also suffered heavy losses, injuring 800 enemies and 1,000 of their own.

The fire in the study was so big that it had spread to other courtyards. The whole courtyard was filled with the maid Xiao Si carrying buckets of water to put out the fire.

Fan Yao also took direct command and asked his guards to help put out the fire, but the fire only got bigger.

In the end, the fire in the Shangshu Mansion was put out with the cooperation of the government's fire-fighting team.

It was already daybreak when the fire was put out, and Fan Yao sent people to search the ruins for the bodies of the burned victims.

Their people searched for a long time but found no body. Finally, Fan Yao concluded that the person had been burned to ashes, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Whenever he thought about the death of the only son of the arrogant regent, he couldn't wait to see Nangong Mingxuan's pain after losing his son in middle age. Thinking about that scene made his heart boil.

Just when he was feeling proud of his masterpiece, the eunuch from the palace came with imperial decree.

"The emperor has ordered that His Excellency the Minister be summoned to the palace to see him." The chief eunuch announced the emperor's order. Minister Fan was a little confused. He had already asked the emperor for permission to take a day off today because of a fire in the mansion. Now the emperor specifically summoned him to the palace. He didn't know what was going on and felt uneasy.

But he could not disobey the order, so he stretched out his hand, and the butler quickly handed him a silver note. He walked up to the eunuch who delivered the order and stuffed the silver note in his hand into the hand of the chief eunuch.

The eunuch wanted to decline, but Minister Fan stopped him: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please have some tea, sir."

Seeing that the Shangshu was sincere, the eunuch had no choice but to accept the reward and put the banknote into his sleeve.

Then the Minister approached the chief eunuch and lowered his voice and said, "Eunuch, please tell me, is there something important that the Emperor summoned me to do?" He wanted to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard.

The eunuch replied embarrassedly: "I am really sorry, Lord Shangshu, I am just a messenger, I really don't know why the emperor summoned you to the palace."

After saying this, he bowed apologetically, then made a gesture with his hand to invite Nangong Lie to follow him into the palace.

Minister Fan was helpless. He waved his hand and called the butler over. He leaned over and whispered a few words in the butler's ear. The butler nodded to show that he had received it.

Only then did he follow the eunuch with a nervous mood.

In fact, he had always had a bad premonition in his heart. Before leaving, he told the housekeeper to tell the lady in the mansion to go to the palace to visit the queen and see her, in the name of going to the palace to visit her, to tell her about his situation. If anything really happened, let the queen come forward to plead for him.

The housekeeper watched Minister Fan disappear from his sight before he quickly ran to the backyard and told the minister's wife the master's instructions.

Fan Yao sat in the carriage, his heart in his throat. He didn't know why, but he felt that today was different from the past.

Although he had eliminated the biggest threat in the imperial capital, it did not make him feel at ease. Instead, it made him more cautious than ever.

Just like that, he was filled with fear and anxiety as the carriage slowly stopped and arrived at the palace gate.

The chief eunuch jumped down from the small carriage at the back, then quickly approached Fan Yao's carriage and said in his hoarse voice, "The Minister has arrived. Please get off the carriage."

When Fan Yao heard the sound outside the carriage, he took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and calmed down, then stood up and got off the carriage with the help of his entourage.

Then the chief eunuch bowed and made a gesture of invitation, led the way in front, and met Nangong Lie, and entered the palace gate together.

In the imperial study, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, reviewing the memorials submitted by his ministers.

Minister Fan was also brought here by the chief eunuch. At the door of the imperial study, Minister Fan tidied up the non-existent strands of hair on his head, dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, tidied up his appearance, and then walked quickly into the imperial study under the guidance of the eunuch.

He walked in quickly, knelt down, clasped his hands together, kowtowed and greeted.

The emperor knew that it was Fan Yao who came in, but he didn't even raise his eyelids, nor did he show any intention of letting him get up. He just stared at Fan Yao, kneeling on the ground, and didn't let him get up for a long time.
