The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Song Qianning shook her head and said indifferently: "Thanks to your protection in the past few years, and the assassination attempt was also thanks to you, we can be considered friends. Since we are friends, I will naturally not watch you get into trouble. Anyway, I have nothing to worry about now. Even if I die, I can go to accompany my father, mother and brothers..."

Murong Jingchu didn't expect that Song Qianning would protect a servant so much and even call a servant friends in public, which was simply a humiliation to him.

Murong Jingchu clenched his fists and tried to suppress his anger: "Queen, do you know what you are saying? How can a servant be friends with the master? As the queen of a country, you actually call a guard a friend. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for being unfaithful to your husband?"

"So what? Isn't the emperor the best at accusing others of crimes? Who in my mansion wasn't killed by your trumped-up excuses and crimes? Do you think I care about this queen? If you want to punish me, just do it. Anyway, I have no relatives in this world to worry about, so I'm not afraid even if I die..."

Song Qianning looked at Murong Jingchu with a stubborn face. She didn't expect that he was not only cruel and ruthless, but also arrogant and conceited.

Jiu Ye has followed him through thick and thin for so many years, but in his eyes he is just a servant. He can't even call him a friend. I feel sorry for those who risk their lives for him.

While Murong Jingchu and Song Qianning were still in a stalemate, the guard who had just sprinkled the oil asked whether to light the fire.

When Song Qianning heard what the guard said, she shouted: "Murong Jingchu, how dare you? Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion died because of you, and now you don't even let go of the last house. You are not a human..."

Murong Jingchu's eyes were full of anger, and he opened his lips slightly: "Light the fire..."

The guards held torches and lit fires everywhere. With the help of kerosene, the fire was quickly ignited and a raging fire began to burn in the back house.

Song Qianning didn't expect that he really burned down the house. Her eyes were filled with tears. With such a big fire, it seemed that Murong Jingchu was determined to destroy the Marquis's mansion.

Murong Jingchu must have something to hide. He probably wanted to burn down the mansion for a long time. But trying to cover up the truth only makes it more obvious. Forget it. His family members are all gone. What's the point of having this cold building?

After Song Qianning laughed twice, she looked at Murong Jingchu coldly.

Murong Jingchu didn't expect that even after he burned down the Marquis' Mansion, Song Qianning remained indifferent and even stood in front of Jiu Ye to protect him.

"I will give you one last chance. Come here and return to the palace with me, and I will forgive you for what happened..."

"I did nothing wrong. Why do you need to pretend to let bygones be bygones? It's simply ridiculous. I don't need your chance. Since you won't let Jiu Ye go, then let them shoot arrows at me!"

Song Qianning kept provoking Murong Jingchu. Anyway, she had nothing now and she would be relieved if she died. She would never go with him again.

The fire in the backyard had spread and the thick smoke began to drift to the front yard. Song Qianning's eyes were so painful from the thick smoke that she could hardly open them and she kept coughing.

Jiu Ye was afraid that the fire would spread to the front hall, and Song Qianning would be in danger. He advised: "My queen, please go back with the emperor! The fire here is too big, and it will be too late to leave..."

"No, I don't want to go with him. If I stand up, they will definitely kill you. If you can still move, run for your life. I will stop them, you run!"

Song Qianning thought that the worst that could happen was that she would be shot to death or burned to death. If Jiu Ye could escape, that would be good. If he couldn't, then she would have tried her best.

"My lady, I will never bring trouble to you..."

Murong Jingchu was shaking with anger. How dare the two of them whisper to each other without paying any attention to others.

The guard advised Murong Jingchu: "Your Majesty, the fire is about to reach here, we need to evacuate quickly..."

Murong Jingchu gnashed his teeth and said: "If that's the case, why don't you take action???"

The guard who received the order shot a thin needle at Song Qianning. Song Qianning suddenly felt a sharp pain on her neck. She subconsciously pulled it out and saw that it was actually a silver needle.

Suddenly her vision blurred and she fainted. Seeing this, Murong Jingchu hurried forward and picked her up.

"Tie up Jiuye for me and wait for your punishment..."

After Murong Jingchu finished speaking, he walked out of the mansion quickly. These guards were old acquaintances of Jiu Ye, and although they felt reluctant, they did not dare to disobey orders.

After saying sorry, they tied him up. Jifeng, Zhuiyun and Xuanying felt sad when they saw Jiuye like this.

Zhuiyun wanted to kidnap Jiuye, but Jiuye noticed his intention and shook his head to refuse...

Ji Feng held Zhui Yun and said, "Don't act rashly. Jiu Ye has been with the emperor for so many years. Maybe the emperor doesn't intend to kill Jiu Ye. Let's wait and see..."

Xuanying hinted: "That's right, don't fall into someone's trap..."

They probably guessed that the emperor would suddenly attack Jiu Ye, and it seemed to be the work of the imperial concubine.

Although the emperor said that he would not really take Jiu Ye's life, the three of them were a little worried when they thought about the fate of the Marquis' Mansion.

After everyone had evacuated, the people in the surrounding area dared to come out. Looking at the raging fire, they felt sad. A family of generals for generations was gone just like that.

Even the last mansion was not left intact. The common people had no idea of ​​the twists and turns inside, they just felt that the marquis's mansion was really pitiful.

The civil and military officials who first learned that the Marquis' Mansion was burned to ashes could not believe that the emperor would actually burn down the Marquis' Mansion. The people in the Marquis' Mansion had just been buried...

When the old Duke found out that the mansion had been burned, he was so angry that he slammed the table repeatedly, and finally said helplessly - what an injustice...

Yaohua Palace...

Dugu Yan, who was having dinner, heard that the Queen had returned to the palace. She raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that the Emperor had brought the Queen back.

After hearing the spy's report that the emperor had burned down the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, Jiu Ye was brought back.

Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised that Murong Jingchu would burn down the Marquis' Mansion at this critical moment. Wasn't he afraid that people would call him heartless?

Later, when she heard the emperor's intention, she smiled with a look of sarcasm. This emperor is really guilty!

"Burn it down and rebuild it, and choose a branch of the Song family to adopt under the name of the late marquis to ensure the continuity of the incense?? The emperor is so smart to think of this, Yan Yang, do you know? This is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life."

Yan Yang smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Master, is it possible that the emperor is feeling guilty and wants to deceive himself?"

Dugu Yan said with disgust: "If he had a conscience, would it be so easy for me to succeed in revenge?"

Yan Yang nodded in agreement and said, "Master is right. To be honest, if the Marquis's Mansion had not had a grudge against us, I would have felt sorry for the Marquis's wife. Having such a nephew has cost her entire family their lives..."

"Although we contributed to the deaths of these people in the Marquis' Mansion, if the emperor has no selfish motives, I can't convince him with just my words. To be honest, compared to the people in the Marquis' Mansion, I hate Murong Jingchu more. He is the culprit who wanted to kill me..."

Dugu Yan held the wine glass and slammed it hard on the table, and the glass shattered due to the impact.

Yan Yang went forward to check her hand, and was relieved to see that there was no scratch. She carefully put the fragments aside.

"Master, don't be angry. We can succeed in taking revenge on the Marquis' Mansion, and we will also succeed in taking revenge on the Emperor..."
