Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Compared with the heavily guarded Prince Qing's Mansion, the guards at the Princess' Mansion were not on the same level at all. Without any flash, they approached the location Zhou Jin mentioned.

The yard is not big, and there are two teams of internal guards. I don’t know if there are any secret sentries. To be on the safe side, I slipped into the hall in the northeast corner.

The place inside should be the princess's private vault, but it is not as luxurious as Prince Qing's. The floor is paved with royal gold bricks, and most of the shelves and boxes inside are made of ordinary wood.

It's a bit regrettable,

After the jade flooring from Prince Qing's private vault was taken away, the barrier of the space became much thinner, leaving only a thin layer that looked like it could be broken with a poke.

She had thought that even if the princess was not as wealthy as Prince Qing, she should at least have 5% as much, so that she could unlock the most important bedroom. Unfortunately, the princess's mansion was poorer than she had imagined.

Xiao Yunxi didn't empty the warehouse completely, not because she was soft-hearted, but because she was afraid.

Qiushui County was robbed, and she was nearby. Qingwang Mansion was robbed, and she was in Qingwang Mansion. She had just arrived in the capital, and the Princess Mansion was robbed, which would deepen other people's suspicion.

Although others could not find evidence, being watched was not a good thing, otherwise she would have planned to empty the emperor's private treasury just now.'

Since the eldest princess wanted to be the emperor's knife and use Ma Cuilan to disgust people, she naturally wanted to disgust the eldest princess.

Jade and jade, take them all away,

The white barrier of the space faded again, but it still couldn't be unlocked, which was a bit regrettable.

She took away the inflammable and burnt items such as banknotes, silk, calligraphy and paintings, and medicinal herbs, but left the gold, silver, and porcelain untouched.

Take out red phosphorus from the space,

Red phosphorus and white phosphorus are allotropes and are both combustible. White phosphorus is more active and prone to spontaneous combustion, while red phosphorus is relatively more stable and requires an open flame to ignite.

And red phosphorus is easier to extract,

Phosphate rock and lime, also known as clay ash powder, are mixed and vaporized phosphorus can be obtained at high temperatures. After cooling, red phosphorus can be obtained.

If there is no phosphate rock, you can also collect urine. After evaporation, the white solid left behind is elemental phosphorus.

The solution is fine, but it's a bit annoying.

Xiao Yunxi put the rice paper and cotton cloth back to the place where the calligraphy and paintings, banknotes and silk were originally placed, poured red phosphorus on it, and lit a candle next to it.

Then use a cotton rope dipped in kerosene to tie the base of the candle, and load the red phosphorus powder onto the cotton rope. This is a simple delayed ignition device.

After doing this, she slipped away, leaving only the flames dancing.

Xiao Yunxi returned to the carriage and took it back to the Xiao Mansion. After a while, she took a carriage to Dongfang City, where she went shopping in a high-profile manner and waited quietly.

The candles in the warehouse can burn for about an hour. If someone discovers it in advance, they can not only escape the disaster, but also discover that the private warehouse has been stolen.

The eldest princess was in a bad mood and it was impossible for her to come to the private vault to check.

"Useless trash!"

"Are you very proud that your daughter is going to become the Crown Prince's Consort and you can stand up now?"

"dream!"

"I won't let that little bitch have it easy."

Princess House,

The eldest princess roared hysterically, Xiao Chen shrank his head,

Princess Gaoyang was taken to the Zongzheng Temple by the emperor, with the assistance of officials from the Dali Temple. They really intended to teach Gaoyang a severe lesson, and the eldest princess and the imperial concubine's pleas were of no use.

"I'm warning you, Gao Yang will be repaid double for the injustice he suffered. If you feel bad, hold it in!"

"I...."

"roll!"

Xiao Chen left in a panic and happened to meet the Second Prince who came rushing over after hearing the news. He didn't even look at Xiao Chen and called him a waste.

"Royal sister, what's going on? Father wants to punish Gao Yang?"

"It's still that bitch!"

The princess explained it clearly in a few words. To sum it up, Xiao Yunxi was meddling in other people's business.

"I will go to my father and plead for Gao Yang."

Zhao couldn't bear to see his niece suffer injustice, but the princess stopped him. The construction of the new military camp will be announced tomorrow, which is related to the ownership of the new city construction.

If the emperor is unhappy at this time and is not allowed to participate, the loss will be huge.

"Oh no!"

"Go away!"

The servants' panicked cries were heard from the backyard, and the eldest princess and Zhao Zhen smelled the smell of firewood.

Dongfang City,

Xiao Yunxi is still in the process of purchasing.

The capital is the largest city in Daxia and even in the world. There are many foreign merchants here, with the largest number of merchants from the Western Regions, who bring many rare items.

I bought a lot of spices and rare seeds, planning to plant them in space and then plant them on a large scale in my own farm.

She also bought a lot of grain from grain merchants.

The food in the space had been almost consumed by the time we were in the northwest.

The amount of food that Prince Qing's Palace replenished was not small, but they couldn't just sit back and enjoy the food. Dabao needed to support his troops, and the amount of food he needed was tens of thousands.

She's going to start preparing.

The capital is not the northwest. Just find a hole and say it is someone else's hidden grain. If you want to go out in the open, buy it from the grain merchant and mix it with the grain in the space.

"Is there a fire over there?"

"What a huge smoke."

"It seems to be in the direction of Chongrenfang."

"Whoever did something bad must be punished by God."

Zhou Jin looked at the direction where the flames were rising into the sky, which was the Grand Princess's Mansion, and asked Xiao Yunxi curiously how she did it.

“This is the power of knowledge!”

Xiao Yunxi laughed heartily.

"Go back and cook. We're having hotpot for lunch today to celebrate someone treating us to a fireworks display..."

Isn't it just smoke and fire!

Xiao Yunxi was in a good mood, and the eldest princess was furious.

"waste!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"If you didn't even know the warehouse was on fire, what's the point of keeping you around?"

From the housekeeper to the guards in the princess's mansion, everyone hunched their heads like ostriches, not daring to breathe.

It's really weird.

There was no fire source or flammable items in the warehouse itself, so there was no possibility of a fire. Even if there was a fire, the fire could not have grown so big in a short time.

No one dared to speak.

The eldest princess has a bad temper to begin with, and now she is even more furious. No one dares to mention anything, even if it is weird, for fear of becoming the eldest princess's punching bag.

That would cost you your life.

In the end, it was the younger brother Zhao Zhen who stepped forward to express everyone's doubts and reminded the imperial sister to investigate whether it was man-made.

The princess suppressed her anger.

It has already happened, there is nothing wrong with being angry, take a deep breath and calm down, this fire is very strange and must be investigated thoroughly!

Zhao Zhen was accompanied by people from the Plum Blossom Guard who went to the scene to check and quickly concluded that the fire was arson.

"who!"

"Who is it?"

The eldest princess was furious again. Someone actually dared to come to her mansion and set fire!

"Your Highness... I have checked the treasury records. The paintings, silks, banknotes, and medicinal herbs were burned, and the quantity cannot be verified. Most of the other valuables were damaged, but nothing was lost... Only the jade and jadeite are missing. I suspect it was some thief with a special liking for them."

When stealing things, one must choose items that are of high value and easy to sell. Top-quality jade and jadeite are rarely circulated on the market, so it is easy to be exposed when selling them.

Ordinary jadeite is not as valuable as Dongzhu and Yemingzhu, so the thieves did not take them at all.

Some thieves have special hobbies, such as gold, silver, and silk. When stealing, they tend to take the items they like.

The speculation of the Plum Blossom Guards does make some sense.

"No!"

"There were no thieves, this was revenge arson!"

An idea suddenly came to the eldest princess' mind: no matter who set the fire, it must be Zhou Jin and Xiao Yunxi!
