Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

early morning.

A suspicious figure riding a horse broke into the heavily guarded imperial mausoleum.

"Your Highness the King of Chu!"

As soon as Ling Chaowen got off his horse, he was captured by the guards outside the imperial mausoleum and forced to kneel on the ground with a knife at his neck.

He shouted anxiously: "I want to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the Princess of Chu is in danger!"

"Your Highness the King of Chu! Your Highness the King of Chu!"

Ling Chaowen screamed.

Xiao Lan quickly heard the noise and rushed over, grabbing Ling Chaowen by the collar. "Why is it you? What did you just say? Is the Princess of Chu in danger?"

"Yes! The Queen and Zheng Mingyi are colluding to use Concubine Rong's childbirth to get rid of Jiang Ningwan! She's in danger now!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan's face turned grim and he immediately turned back to find the prince.

In a wheelchair, Qin Shuangchi, dressed in a black robe, was reciting scriptures with his eyes closed. Unexpectedly, the Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly broke.

Round beads were scattered all over the floor.

A clear echo came from the silence.

Qin Shuangchi's heart tightened and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Your Highness! Ling Chaowen is here and said that something happened to the princess! But I don't know whether what he said is true or not." Xiao Lan was also undecided.

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi's pupils trembled, and looking at the Buddhist beads scattered on the ground, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Go back to the palace! Quick!"

Xiao Lan pushed Qin Shuangchi without saying a word and ran out.

After getting on the carriage, Xiao Lan grabbed Ling Chaowen and rode at full speed to Kyoto.

"If you dare to lie to us, you'll be dead!" Xiao Lan threatened sternly.

Ling Chaowen steadied the carriage, "I really didn't lie to you! I heard with my own ears the plan that Lu Lingsong and Lu Qingheng discussed!"

……

Hui'an Temple.

The sound of wooden fish could be heard from the silent and solemn hall.

The emperor and the empress dowager sat in meditation, listening to the chanting coming from the lecture hall, and their hearts became calm.

At this moment, the incense burner on the table suddenly fell down with a bang.

The two of them were startled.

Looking up at the fallen incense burner, the incense ashes were scattered all over the ground. The two incense sticks that had just been lit had fallen out of the incense burner and had been extinguished.

This is not a good sign!

"Quickly call in Master Cixin!"

Soon, a nun in a monk's robe came slowly, with a kind face and clasped her hands together, saying, "Amitabha."

"Master, this incense burner fell over without any warning. Is there any explanation?"

Hearing this, Master Ci Xin was slightly startled. After stepping forward to check, she quickly clasped her hands together and lowered her head, "Amitabha."

"Your Majesty, this is not a good sign. I'm afraid your request may have changed."

The emperor's expression suddenly changed. "Is there any way to save it?"

Master Cixin shook her head, "True or false, all is false."

"It would be better for Your Majesty to return to the palace immediately."

"Everything will have its own answer."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned and said without hesitation, "Thank you, Master."

"Go back to the palace!"

The emperor immediately set off to return to the palace, feeling anxious and worried about the baby in Concubine Rong's belly.

After seeing the emperor off at the temple gate, Master Ci Xin returned to the courtyard. Ling Jinlan came towards her, clasped his hands together and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your help, Master."

Nun Cixin spoke in a gentle and calm tone, "Back when bandits were rampant, General Ling saved my five junior sisters. I still owe him this favor, and it's time to repay it."

"I hope Miss Ling's friends are safe."

Ling Jinlan nodded, "With the help of Master and the blessing of Buddha, we will be safe and sound!"

"Miss Ling, please go ahead." Master Ci Xin nodded slightly and walked away.

After watching Master Ci Xin leave, Ling Jinlan came to his senses and looked at the emperor's team heading back to the palace.

Her mission was accomplished, now it was up to them.

Thinking of this, she immediately rode out on her horse and headed for Kyoto.

……

The emperor was on his way back to the palace.

On the way, he met Jiang Zhouye riding his horse. He was extremely anxious and shouted anxiously before he even got off his horse:

"Your Majesty, Zhou Lin's imperial guards have taken control of the entire palace, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving! They say this is to protect Concubine Rong, fearing a change within the palace!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor thought about what Master Ci Xin said, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He was worried about the safety of the imperial concubine. This child must be saved!

Then he pulled off the token from his waist and said, "Jiang Zhouye, I order you to bring the Dragon Guards into the palace immediately and protect the imperial concubine at all costs!"

Jiang Zhouye immediately stepped forward and respectfully took the token, "I obey your command!"

After receiving the token, Jiang Zhouye immediately rode back to Kyoto at full speed.

The emperor's troops also hurried on their way.

……

In Kyoto City, a large number of Dragon Guards gathered at the palace gate.

The guards on duty became nervous upon seeing this scene and shouted angrily, "Dragon Guards are not allowed to enter the palace without permission! Are you planning a rebellion?"

The leader, Jiang Zhouye, took out the token and said with great momentum, "Seeing this order is like seeing His Majesty! The Dragon Guards have been ordered to enter the palace today. Who dares to stop us?"

When he saw the token, the other party's face changed suddenly.

The next moment, Jiang Zhouye rode his horse and led his men into the palace gate with a mighty and menacing momentum.

Such a scene immediately alerted all the officials in Kyoto. Did something happen in the palace?

But no one dared to take any action and decided to wait and see what would happen.

Only Qin Beihuang hurried into the palace to find out what was going on.

As soon as I entered the palace, I heard the guards next to me say, "Even if Jiang Ningwan is really an evil star, she can't be burned to death outside Taiming Palace, right? She is General Ling Wei."

Hearing this, Qin Beihuang's face changed suddenly.

what!

Burned to death outside Taiming Palace?

After noon, a fire raged in the square outside Taiming Hall.

When Qin Beihuang hurried over, what he saw was the endless fire that had devoured everything inside.

He grabbed the guard next to him and asked, "Is Jiang Ningwan in there?"

The guard remained silent.

"speak!"

"How dare you burn people alive in the palace? Put out the fire!"

Qin Beihuang's forehead veins bulged as he shouted angrily, but no one paid any attention to him.

Qin Beihuang could only take off his coat and try to put out the fire, but with little success.

"Jiang Ningwan!" Qin Beihuang gritted his teeth, desperately beating out the flames, calling out loudly in an attempt to get a response from Jiang Ningwan to prove that she was still alive.

At that moment, Qin Beihuang was extremely panicked, as if something in his heart had suddenly become empty.

The fire continued to burn.

Fire shot into the sky.

When Qin Shuangchi was pushed there and saw the raging fire, he suddenly felt as if his heart was strangled and he couldn't breathe.

"Jiang Ningwan!" He rushed over in a panic in a wheelchair.

Rushed towards the fire without hesitation.

Xiao Lan was also stunned, his heart sinking. He was still too late...

Seeing the prince rushing into the fire recklessly, he immediately held the prince down and said, "Prince! It's dangerous!"

The scorching breath of the fire blew towards him, blowing a piece of burnt clothing into Qin Shuangchi's hand.

His usually calm expression now had bloodshot eyes, his emotions were out of control, and he could no longer remain calm.

There was a raging flame in front of him, but he used all his strength to stand up and rushed into the fire.

His legs were unable to support his entire body and he instantly fell into the fire.

Xiao Lan was horrified, "Your Majesty!"

"Uncle!" Qin Beihuang was also shocked when he saw this and hurried over.

The guards rushed to put out the fire, but they could not stop the King of Chu from jumping into the flames and trying his best to crawl towards the center of the fire.

The people around could only put out the fire around the King of Chu.

His black robe was ignited by flames.

"Ningwan..." He gritted his teeth, tears welling up in his scarlet eyes, and crawled towards the center desperately, looking for Jiang Ningwan's figure.

"Uncle! Are you going to die?"

Qin Beihuang shouted anxiously, looking at the selfless figure with the determination to die here.
