Upon hearing that the bridal chamber was on fire, everyone in the banquet hall ran out quickly and came to the yard.

In the direction of the main courtyard, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed.

Captain Hao Qiang of the imperial guards rushed to the side of the Emperor Dong and shouted, "Protect the Emperor!"

The royal guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded Emperor Dong.

The Emperor of the East calmly commanded loudly: "Hao Qiang, quickly send someone to rescue the Prince of Yan and his wife."

Hao Qiang sent some people to the main courtyard to rescue people, but he himself stayed close to Dongdi.

Zhu Shijie, Zhou Zihan, Qin Zhong and some of the generals under Prince Yan all rushed to the main courtyard.

The queen only took a look at the fire in the main courtyard and her body began to sway. Zhou Yutong hurried forward to support her.

Concubine Qi suppressed her inner excitement and quickly took out a handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth that couldn't stop rising.

The eldest princess frowned and glanced at the people at the scene, wondering who was behind the incident.

The prince remained calm in the face of danger and ordered the palace guards at the scene:

"You all, stand in a circle. These are all distinguished guests. You must protect them well."

He also grabbed a guard and anxiously ordered: "Go and call some more people over, there are too few guards here."

Chu Tianxing was busy running around, but he didn't say a word about sending people to put out the fire.

The main courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion.

The newly decorated house had been engulfed in fire.

When Zhu Shijie arrived, in the light of the fire, he saw a group of masked men in black fighting with the palace guards at the door of the bridal chamber.

Their purpose was obvious, which was to prevent the guards from putting out the fire.

Zhu Shijie saw Yan Yi and hurriedly shouted, "Yan Yi, what's going on?"

Yan Yi was harassed by several men in black and couldn't get away.

"I don't know. The prince and princess never came out after they went in."

Zhu Shijie was about to rush into the bridal chamber but was stopped by Zhou Zihan.

"Prince, you take care of these assassins, and I will lead the firefighting. Don't forget to capture someone alive."

"it is good!"

The two of them immediately divided the work.

Qin Zhong also joined the firefighting team.

He did not understand the King of Yan's entire plan, and he felt very nervous.

Qin Rubing once told him not to worry, but given the current situation, how could he not worry?

He was worried to death.

There were many curtains and other decorations in the new house, and the fire spread quickly and could not be controlled at all.

Seeing that the fire was too fierce, the Eastern Emperor ordered Hao Qiang to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to mobilize people for support.

He, the Queen and Concubine Qi went back to Changqiu Palace first.

The eldest princess then returned to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion.

The prince asked someone to bring out a coffee table and a reclining chair, and while drinking tea he pretended to urge:

"Li Yong, go and have a look. Why is the fire still not out?"

"Yes." Li Yong responded and walked slowly towards the main courtyard.

When Prime Minister Qi saw that Shangshu Zhou was not leaving, he didn't want to leave first and ran to the prince to chat.

Qi Siyue was feeling uneasy, but she didn't dare to ask, and felt extremely anxious.

"This fire is more intense than expected. Will there be any harm to innocent people?"

Zhou Yutong was extremely anxious and worried about Qin Rubing.

"Qin Rubing is always smart, so she should be able to run out when the fire is small, right?"

The two men, each with their own thoughts, walked back and forth in the yard, occasionally standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to look towards the main courtyard.

As they were looking at each other, they accidentally bumped into each other.

Qi Siyue exclaimed, "Ouch!" "Zhou Yutong, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Zhou Yutong was not to be outdone, "Ms. Qi, I just don't understand. I'm worried about Qin Rubing because she's my friend. Who are you worried about here?"

Qi Siyue was stunned. Yes, who was she worried about?

She couldn't admit that she was worried about King Yan, right?

Qi Siyue snorted and turned to go to the prince.

It was a long time before Li Yong came back.

Chu Tianxing sat up suddenly, "How is it?"

Prime Minister Qi, Shangshu Zhou and others also came over, waiting for Li Yong to explain the situation.

Li Yong looked at the two old ministers, then at the prince, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Chu Tianxing waved his hand and asked Li Yong to come closer and talk.

Li Yong leaned over and whispered in the prince's ear.

Chu Tianxing frowned as he listened.

Minister Zhou couldn't hear anything and was very anxious, so he just shouted:

"Prince, what's going on? Is there anything you can't say publicly?"

Chu Tianxing was startled and said unhappily, "Master Shangshu, please be patient. The body has not been found yet."

Chu Tianxing's words were like thunder, exploding in Zhou Yuxuan's ears.

He staggered and pointed at Chu Tianxing angrily:

"Chu Tianxing, as the crown prince, how dare you curse the King of Yan and his wife!"

Chu Tianxing looked indifferent, as if he didn't care at all about what was happening around him, and turned his head to the side.

However, beneath his seemingly calm appearance, his heart was turbulent.

He felt extremely depressed and confused, as if there was an invisible pressure weighing heavily on his heart. These emotions intertwined together, making him a little irritable and uneasy.

Li Yong just reported to him:

"Our people at the scene saw with their own eyes that Prince Yan and Princess Yan walked into the bridal chamber and never came out again. But now the fire has been put out, and only the body of the bridesmaid was found in the room."

Why did I see a ghost again?

What happened to catching the turtle in the jar?

What should the mother do?

Prime Minister Qi hurried out to smooth things over: "Lord Zhou, calm down. The prince didn't mean that."

Qi Siyue, who was standing aside, frowned and started to wonder something.

"Did Shuanzi accomplish what I asked him to do?"

Yuelai Inn.

Han Yijian, whose cover identity is Shuanzi, is drinking tea in the inn.

Tonight, he went to Prince Yan's Mansion, but did nothing.

A few days ago, Qi Siyue assigned him the task: "After the new house catches fire, take advantage of the chaos to kill Qin Rubing."

He saw with his own eyes Chu Tianxing and Qin Rubing walk into the bridal chamber, while he was hiding on a large tree with lush branches and leaves.

After the bridal chamber caught fire, several maids ran out, but there was definitely no Prince of Yan or Princess Consort.

Suddenly, a group of mysterious masked men in black appeared out of nowhere.

They were dressed in black tights and black masks, and moved quickly and agilely, like well-trained killers.

Han Yijian could tell from the aura emanating from them that they were by no means ordinary people, but real death warriors!

Their eyes were cold and firm, revealing a determination and courage that were not afraid of death.

Each of them held a sharp weapon in their hands. Obviously, they came with bad intentions...

They are using force to stop the palace guards from putting out the fire!

But Han Yijian's martial arts skills were far superior to theirs, and he easily broke through the defense line and entered the bridal chamber.

He had originally prepared to rescue Qin Rubing and even brought a fireproof suit.

However, after entering the bridal chamber, he found that there was no one inside except the bridesmaid lying on the floor.
