"Your Highness, please tell me about this..."

Before Jing Suiyang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liang Chongyue.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of people who are worried about us."

Liang Chongyue had already heard from Jing Suiyang everything that happened last night. The houses of the officials involved in the incident in various parts of the capital were all burned badly. Even if they were stupid, they should know who did it.

Since they were trying to trip her up behind her back, she would do it openly and block all their escape routes. Let's see how long they can survive.

"Make a copy of these things and send them to my bookstore to print a few hundred copies. When Minister He's mansion is almost ready for repairs, spread the word that the fire has caused heavy losses. Minister He has been sitting in his study for several days, unable to sleep at night."

"If you exaggerate a bit, Minister He will definitely make a big fuss about this."

Li Yuan placed a cup of freshly brewed milk tea in front of His Highness with a wicked smile. The strong aroma of milk diluted the faint smell of smoke in the air.

"You worked hard last night. Once this is over, I'll give you a two-week vacation. Take a good rest."

Last night was indeed thrilling. If it weren't for the little snake in Lianchi, Jing Suiyang might not have been able to discover the mechanism hidden under the bed and find these things.

Thinking of the little snake, Liang Chongyue's eyes appeared Lian Chi's ascetic and self-restrained face. She had not yet fully explored his secrets, and wondered how many surprises he had that she didn't know about.

"Yes, I am resigning."

When Jing Sui Yang left, he looked at His Highness with reluctance in his eyes, but when Li Cejun looked over, his cold face returned to its original state and he left Changshengtian.

As soon as Jing Suiyang walked out of Changshengtian, he saw Master Lianchi, dressed in a monk's robe, standing outside the door, looking at him with a compassionate smile that is common in Buddhism.

The little snake in his arms, which had been quite well-behaved, seemed to sense the existence of the lotus pond and jumped out of his arms.

It twisted its slender and short limbs quickly and headed towards the lotus pond. Just by looking at its back, you could feel the little snake's joy.

The little snake swam to the feet of Lianchi, straightened its upper body, and rubbed its head affectionately against Lianchi's monk robe.

Jing Sui Yang looked at the little snake that was doing nothing but sleeping in his arms. Now he was trying his best to please Lian Chi, but he didn't even get a glance from her. This hypocritical guy, since His Highness was not around, he would stop pretending.

"Thank you for sending the little snake back. Is it well behaved?"

Lian Chi's voice sounded like it came from the cold winter. Jing Suiyang subconsciously disliked such a cold person. Looking at the clever little snake, he felt really pitiful. He suppressed the urge to leave and praised it sincerely:

"It's very well behaved and powerful. Master Lianchi... has great skills."

Lian Chi maintained a smile on his face, as if he didn't understand Jing Suiyang's double entendre. When the little snake crawled onto his shoulder, he said:

"Thank you. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the little snake without looking back.

Jing Sui Yang stood there and watched the little snake trying to rub Lian Chi's face affectionately. Its head had already leaned over, but in the end, it held back.

Jing Sui Yang had never raised such a spiritual little animal himself, but he had seen how His Highness treated the puppy.

The puppy has obviously grown to be as big as a tiger, but His Highness and everyone else still call it puppy. No matter what the puppy does or what it eats, His Highness will not restrict it. Many times, when Jing Sui Yang saw His Highness's love for the puppy with his own eyes, he felt a little envious.

This scene outside Changshengtian also fell into Liang Chongyue's eyes. The things that Jing Suiyang brought back had a strong smell after many years.

It has been taken away by Jing Suiyang, but the smell is still there, lingering for a long time.

Liang Chongyue originally wanted to go to the terrace to get some fresh air and relieve the boredom of marking papers. Unexpectedly, life is full of surprises. It was the first time she saw the lotus pond.

This unruly look is like when we first met.

Li Yu'an was accompanying His Highness, so he naturally saw it, but His Highness did not say anything. Lian Chi had ill intentions towards His Highness, but he could not see through His Highness's attitude towards Lian Chi.

He was given the position of abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, the northern border was eliminated, and he was kept in his mansion. He didn't believe that His Highness had no interest in this person at all.

Your Highness has never restrained himself in this regard. The two of them are just one step away from success.

Liang Chongyue didn't notice the dejected look in Li Yu'an's eyes. He had already opened the panel and started reading the information sent by the system about the immoral things done by the previous Minister He. If you pull out the radish, you will bring out the mud. None of the people involved can escape.

She knew that Lian Chi was never a good kid, and he had done this in front of Changshengtian today. What was his intention? They both knew it in their hearts.

But she doesn't have time to play the game "Which one is the real him" with him now. If you like her, just learn from Fei He and be more direct. It's not like I will treat him unfairly.

Liang Chongyue stood on the terrace until the milk tea in the pot had gone cold before returning to the inner hall. This scene caught Li Yuan's eyes. Coincidentally, just after Jing Suiyang's back disappeared around the corner, His Highness left the terrace.

Looking at the back of His Highness as he left, Li Yu'an felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a pair of large hands. It was so sour and bitter, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and returned to the palace, staying with His Highness to review and organize the papers.

The fires that broke out everywhere in the capital city caused quite a stir. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were investigating the case because the highest-ranking official among the officials whose residences caught fire last night was the Minister of Rites, Minister He.

In addition, the Imperial Examination Hall had just burned down some time ago and has not been repaired yet, so it is inevitable that some people would associate these two things together.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the court. Liang Zhangao sat on the dragon throne, looking coldly at Minister He and his group who were kneeling in the hall, making loud noises and crying about the tragedy of last night.

Liang Zhan knew who did it without Sifangtai investigating. Listening to these people talking about how badly their homes were burned, Liang Zhan could guess what Chongyue was thinking when he gave the order yesterday.

"Your Majesty, please help me. I have devoted my life to the Great Xia. Last night, a villain set fire to the city. My family and young son were almost burned to death. Your Majesty, the appearance of such a villain in the capital has frightened the people so much that they dare not close their eyes at night..."

Minister He was crying with tears and snot all over his face, and there was a faint smell of smoke on his body.

Starting with Minister He, several other officials followed suit. The originally majestic and solemn Hall of Supreme Harmony was made to look like a mourning hall by their crying.

Liang Zhan had a gloomy face and said nothing until these people had cried enough, then he slowly spoke:

"Have you cried enough?"

As soon as His Majesty said this, the Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly fell silent. The ministers who had been constantly accusing the villains just now were now like quails, huddled together, with no trace of the grief they had just shown.

"I have already sent the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to investigate this matter. I believe the results will be out soon."

After Liang Zhan finished speaking, the Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice Minister came forward to report on the progress of the investigation.

However, the matter has not been concluded yet and no one has been caught.

Liang Zhan knew that they would not be able to find out anything. Unless Chong Yue deliberately made someone reveal their tracks, these people would not make any further progress even if they spent half their lives investigating.

After the Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice Minister withdrew, Liang Zhan's deep gaze swept over the several people kneeling in the palace.

"Minister of Rites, Vice Minister...disrespectful before the palace, thirty strokes of the cane. That's it, dismiss the court."
