He left the city and headed straight for the manor of Marquis Zhan Yi.
When he went around the back mountain, he heard the laughter of children coming from the other side of the stream.
He clenched his fists tightly, and when he saw the children in the stream, he felt envy and jealous.
If his mother had not died, he could actually have played with them.
But now, everything is different!
He curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm, turned around and walked quickly towards Zhuangzi.
He threw the tinder into the haystack and poured kerosene on it, and immediately a flame shot up into the sky.
Then someone shouted: "Oh no, there's a fire, come and put it out!"
When the yard started to get chaotic, Xiao Yu immediately ran towards the back mountain.
Sure enough, many guards escorted the young masters as they ran towards the carriage.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. He slowly took out a hidden weapon tube from his sleeve and shot it towards Zi'er.
"Puff!" The hidden weapon entered Zi'er's body and her body shook.
She quickly put the little cat on the ground and said, "Cat, go find your mother. Hurry up, run!"
Miao'er ran very fast and was about to reach the bush where Xiao Yu was hiding.
He was expectantly trying to catch her, but someone grabbed his neck first, and then he was lifted up in the air.
He shouted angrily: "Let me go!"
Zhan Yan's cold voice rang in his ears: "Xiao Yu, you are so brave!"
Xiao Yu's venomous eyes fell on Zhan Yan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you catch me, what can you do? Do you dare to kill me? Don't forget, I am the second prince of my father. If anything happens to me, your Zhan family will be charged with murdering the heir to the throne!"
Zhan Yan was silent at first, his cold expression seemed to be frightened by Xiao Yu's words.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu became even more complacent.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Yan suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face: "He is just a little beggar, and he dares to pretend to be the Second Prince. He has clearly been burned to death. Don't you know?"
Xiao Yu's ears were buzzing from the slap. When he met Zhan Yan's sharp eyes, he felt a little nervous.
Yes, in the minds of the people, the second prince had been burned to death.
Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan will definitely make the best of it!
No, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
He ignored the blood flowing from his mouth and pleaded urgently, "Uncle Wan, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I didn't do anything to hurt Little Miaomiao. I just wanted her to play with me. Are you really going to let me go?"
Zhan Yan ignored him and let Ying Yi cover his mouth and knock him unconscious.
Ying Yi asked in a low voice: "Master, how should we deal with him?"
Zhan Yan said calmly, "Doesn't he like setting fires? Then let's fulfill his wish and throw him into the woodshed closest to the fire. Whether he lives or dies will be decided one day!"
"Yes!" Ying Yi dived into the thick smoke and threw the unconscious Xiao Yu into the woodshed.
The fire continued to spread and soon burned the woodshed.
Xiao Yu was choked awake. He opened his eyes in a daze and was frightened by the fire in front of him.
He rushed to the door and shouted: "Help me, let me out!"
However, there was no other response except the sound of the wind.
Xiao Yu slid down behind the door in frustration. He glared with bloodshot eyes and roared, "You guys hurt me, and even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go. Zhan Yan, Lin Yiwan, I curse you to lose your loved ones in this life!"
Bang! The beam fell down, leaving him unable to make any sound.
What he didn't know was that after he left the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's wife had already entered the palace to report his whereabouts to Emperor Sheng'an.
Emperor Sheng'an did not dare to hesitate and immediately took Li Delu to the manor of Marquis Zhan Yi outside the capital.
Before he even got there, he saw thick smoke that almost burned half the sky red.
His heart tightened with fear, and he immediately urged Li Delu: "Go and ask what's going on. How did such a big fire start?"
Li Delu crawled forward and soon saw Zhan Yan directing the guards to run and put out the fire.
He asked anxiously, "Marquis Zhan Yi, how did the fire start?"
Zhan Yan frowned and looked at him: "How should I know? Someone must have set it on purpose. But I can't bother to check it now. The most important thing is to put out the fire first!"
Li Delu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, put out the fire quickly!"
The Royal Guards who followed also joined in the fire-fighting and slowly put out the fire.
Emperor Sheng An finally had the opportunity to ask Zhan Yan, "Have you seen Yu'er?"
Zhan Yan looked at him blankly: "Is the emperor talking about the second prince? Wasn't he burned to death in the fire in the palace?"
Emperor Sheng An frowned and interrupted, "Don't play dumb with me. Didn't Lin Yiwan tell you that he faked his death and got away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Yiwan approaching from a distance and said, "Your Majesty has wronged Ah Yan. I didn't tell him the news because I thought the emperor was right and I might have been wrong!"
Emperor Sheng An's pupils contracted violently. Even though he knew that Lin Yiwan was lying, he didn't know how to refute it now.
Could it be that he was certain that Xiao Yu was not dead?
Wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?
He is really in a dilemma!
He squeezed his eyes shut and said, "How did the fire on Zhuangzi start? Have you figured out the cause?"
Lin Yiwan replied, "We've found out. It was a little beggar who deliberately set the fire with a bottle of kerosene. He was trying to destroy the Zhan family's farm!"
Emperor Sheng An subconsciously asked, "Where is the little beggar?"
Lin Yiwan asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, aren't you being overly concerned about an arsonist? Why don't you ask if there were any casualties at the Zhan family farm?"
Emperor Sheng An's teeth ached at the questioning. He squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Aren't all the people from the Zhan family farm standing in the courtyard? If someone really died, why are you and your wife so calm?"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and sighed, "Your Majesty's guess was correct. Fortunately, my men escaped in time, but that little beggar wasn't so lucky. I heard he was knocked unconscious by a beam in the woodshed. Now that he's trapped by the fire, I'm afraid he's been burned to charcoal."
Emperor Sheng An's body shook violently, and he shouted hoarsely: "A Yu!"
As his voice fell, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the entire Zhan family manor collapsed on the spot.
Emperor Sheng An felt a dull pain in his chest, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the eldest prince Xiao Ling kneeling in front of him with red eyes.
He shouted joyfully, "Father, are you awake? Are you still feeling any discomfort? I'll ask the imperial physician to come and take another look at you."
Emperor Sheng An said sadly: "Ling'er, your brother really was burned to death!"
