"The dungeon is flooded!" Someone exclaimed, and the whole palace became lively in an instant.The palace people rushed to put out the fire with water, you know, the former majesty is still inside!

However, not only did the fire not go out, but it burned more and more vigorously. The guards of the dungeon were stunned.His back was soaked with thin sweat.

Not long after, Zhao Ling rushed over in a hurry, and a palace official hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants will definitely bring His Majesty out safely."

Zhao Ling waved his hands nonchalantly, raised his eyes, and saw Xiao Qi standing not far away, "This fire can't be for the sake of letting people go."

"How dare the general." Xiao Qi bowed to him, saw that the fire at the door had been extinguished, and said, "Do you want to follow the general to see how His Majesty died?"

"General Xiao's invitation, how can I refuse. Then let's go." Zhao Ling said.

Xiao Qi led the way and pushed the burnt black gate. The palaces and palaces in the dungeon were still running, and the shouts filled the entire underground. Zhao Ling's eardrums were trembling from the shock, and he wrinkled Mei rubbed his ears, and walked towards the direction of the dungeon, which was where Zhao Chen was.

The fire there still couldn't be extinguished, the flames burned wantonly and rushed to the top, Nie Yun pushed away the crowd blocking the way for Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling stood outside the cell full of flames, the flames roared and wanted to touch his clothes .Zhao Ling didn't dodge, but smiled almost sickly.

"Xiao Qi, did you say he's dead?" Zhao Ling's face was quite rosy under the light of the flames, and he tried to open his eyes to see clearly what was going on in the flames, but it was of no avail.

"It should be... dead." Xiao Qi said.

As if to refute his words, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the iron bars of the prison cell, but they were shrunk back by the heat. Zhao Chen's face appeared in front of everyone, and his outer shirt was already burned. Zhao Chen looked at his reddened palm and stared at Zhao Ling viciously, "I won't die."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhao Ling laughed so hard that he was almost suffocated, and when he had had enough, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Zhao Chen, you are still stubborn. Now, I will win." However, Zhao Chen disappeared in front of him. He had already fallen into the flames, and the only way to recover Zhao Ling was the crackling flames.

He frowned, seeming displeased at this.Zhao Ling took a few steps, wanting to get a closer look at Zhao Chen's miserable situation, but just after taking a few steps, the flames in front of him shot up crazily and stopped Zhao Ling's steps.The corner of his clothes also started to burn. Nie Yun was shocked, and quickly extinguished the flames on Zhao Ling's clothes.

Zhao Ling looked at the cell, then looked down at his scorched clothes, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Farewell, Zhao Chen."

-

When the fire was finally extinguished, a charred corpse was also placed in front of Zhao Ling. They said that it was found in Zhao Chen's cell.

The face of the corpse had already been burnt beyond recognition. Zhao Ling squatted down, his nostrils were filled with the unpleasant smell from the corpse. He looked around but found nothing.He finally had a forbearing and strange smile on his face, but within two seconds, tears rolled down his cheeks, and Zhao Ling threw himself on the corpse, "Brother Wang!! Woooo..."

All the people present were moved by Zhao Ling's pain of losing his brother. After Zhao Ling gave a few orders, he wiped his tears and returned to Qinzheng Hall.

Zhao Ling sat on the dragon chair he had been thinking about, stroking the golden armrests. He finally had everything here again. Zhao Chen was nothing, but he also died in his hands.

"My lord, General Xiao is here." Nie Yun said.

"Announce him in."

Zhao Ling straightened his expression, looked at Xiao Qi standing in the center of the hall, and finally had a more friendly attitude, "I really didn't expect General Xiao to be so vicious."

"Xiao Qi's wealth is in the hands of the prince, how dare the last general refuse to follow suit." Xiao Qi's voice seemed to be filled with resentment.Instead of being angry, Zhao Ling smiled, "Don't blame me for being mean, I will do whatever it takes to win."

"The last general dare not." Xiao Qi said.

Zhao Ling smiled nonchalantly, "You are so self-defeating, this king can trust you a little bit. At the enthronement ceremony two days later, this king wants you to guard the palace and make no trouble."

"The end will follow the order."

"My lord thought that you would say that the first emperor had just passed away, so it is not appropriate to be enthroned at this time." Zhao Ling raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Qi was silent for two seconds, "Will the lord listen?" Zhao Ling was also taken aback, smiled, noncommittal.

"My lord, I have something important to report." Nie Yun suddenly entered the hall.

Zhao Ling glanced at Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi immediately cupped his hands, "I will retire." The moment Xiao Qi left the palace gate, Xiao Qi heard Nie Yun's voice, "I still can't find it..." Xiao Qi was overjoyed, and looked at it. Gu Youming took Zhang Ren and hid it very well, but King Qingling didn't find any clues.

-

At the same time, Zhao Chen ran out of the palace along the winding and secret passage, and first went to the inn that Xiao Qi had already arranged.Zhao Chen took off the black clothes that were choked by the smoke, and hot water was thoughtfully prepared in the house. Zhao Chen changed into the new clothes on the table after washing.

He sat in the house, waiting for Gu Youming to send someone to meet him.Zhao Chen didn't have a good rest these days, and now he was extremely tired after tossing around, and fell asleep naturally after lying on the table for a while.I don't know how long it took before I was awakened by a knock on the door.Zhao Chen saw that the sky outside the window was completely dark, and he was shocked by his own negligence and sweated all over.

"My lord, it's me." The voice outside the door was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, I knew who it was.Zhao Chen leaned against the door and asked softly, "But Mr. Gu?"

"En." As soon as the door opened, Gu Youming got in and quickly closed the door. "Young master, hurry up and follow me."

"How come you came in person?" Zhao Chen said.

"Zhang Ren will be stared at by King Qingling, how dare he show his face, and I am really worried about leaving this matter to someone else, so I can only come here by myself." After Gu Youming finished speaking, he pulled his bamboo hat to cover Zhao With a sincere face, "Your Majesty, let's leave here first and ask questions later."

Zhao Chen followed Gu Youming to Princess Changrong's mansion.He took off the bamboo hat on his head, and gently shook his hair, "You all live here these days?"

"That's right, King Qingling searched all over the city and never thought of this place. After all, in his eyes, Zhang Ren has never had anything to do with Changrong." Gu Youming said.

Zhao Chen smiled, "It's an excellent place, but it's just a matter of trouble."

"Third Brother, what are you talking about? It's the best that Changrong can help, and I don't think it's troublesome." Changrong walked out of the room with a smile, "Third Brother's golden cicada can be used to get rid of its shell."

"Why are you still making fun of me?" Zhao Chen saw his younger sister, and the depression brought about by the brother-in-law fight that had been accumulated for many days was also relieved.

"...Your Highness." Gu Youming became quiet when he saw Chang Rong, and he didn't look like a reckless man in front of Zhao Chen.

"Master Gu, why does he look like this every time he sees Ben Gong, as if Ben Gong can eat you." Chang Rong covered his lips and smiled, but Gu Youming even lowered his head and let out a soft ah , took half a step back.

Zhao Chen looked at this pair with great interest, always feeling that there seemed to be a lot of changes between them.In the past, Gu Youming wished he could marry Chang Rong home immediately, but now it seems that Chang Rong is chasing after Gu Youming.

"Chang Rong, Gu Youming and I still have something to say, you go into the room first." Zhao Chen said.Chang Rong immediately blessed her body and entered the house again.

"Your Majesty wants to discuss the day of the enthronement ceremony?" Gu Youming said.

"Yes and no." Zhao Chen blinked, "Before that, you have to tell me first, what's going on between you and my imperial sister?"

"Your Majesty! We should discuss the business first..." Gu Youming said.

Zhao Chen teased and said, "You were not so shy when you begged me to marry you."

"This..." Gu Youming scratched his head embarrassingly, "The minister is used to chasing the princess and ran away, but now the princess's attitude towards the minister has suddenly changed a lot, but she doesn't know what to do..."

"As it was then, so it is now."

"Forget it, Your Majesty, let's talk about the day of the enthronement ceremony." Gu Youming said hastily.

"You have to treat my imperial sister well." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Youming was embarrassed again, and then said in a deep voice after a few seconds, "That's natural."
