Chapter 328: Fire
Shen Jingxuan came to the yard and turned to look at Yun Qingmo and Li Luo. Just by looking at their expressions, she knew that they had to follow her.
The third elder took a few steps forward and stood beside Shen Jingxuan without saying a word.
Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly: "A Luo, take A Mo with you, let's go to the Prince's Mansion."
After saying this, she went to the Prince's Mansion first, followed closely by the Third Elder.
Outside the study of the Prince's Mansion, Shen Jingxuan stood in the distance, looking at the dark mansion, her eyes gradually turning cold.
Her Ah Xiao's life or death is unknown now, but Xie Zihan is sleeping soundly in his mansion.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan clenched her fists and her eyes gradually turned red.
She took out a bottle of alcohol that had not been used for a long time and put it in the hands of Li Luo and Yun Qingmo.
The two men looked at Shen Jingxuan in shock until they could no longer hold the things in their hands and they all piled up at their feet.
Shen Jingxuan told them how to use it, and seeing that the two just nodded obediently, she continued, "When you see the fire later, throw these things into the study."
After saying this, he ignored the two of them and went to look for the storehouse in the Prince's Mansion with the Third Elder.
Since Xie Zihan and Song Yi had teamed up to ambush Xie Lingxiao, she couldn't do anything to them at this time, but she wouldn't let them get their wish either.
How could she let them go if she wanted to live a peaceful life after provoking them?
As for Song Yi, let him wait patiently. When he finds Xiling Kingdom, that will be the time for him to regret.
Shen Jingxuan and the third elder searched half of the Prince's Mansion and finally found the warehouse.
The third elder said, "I'll go and lead them away."
Shen Jingxuan hurriedly pulled him back and put a packet of medicine powder in his hand: "Use this, it will be faster."
Not only is it fast, but it won't alarm anyone.
The third elder glanced at Shen Jingxuan, then disappeared in front of her with the medicine powder.
Seeing the gatekeeper fall to the ground, Shen Jingxuan jumped up and down to the door of the warehouse.
She quickly opened the lock of the warehouse, and when she came out, the third elder was already waiting outside the door.
Shen Jingxuan threw a few bottles of alcohol to the third elder, and she lit one and threw it into the warehouse.
The fire slowly started to burn, and she continued to throw things inside. Seeing this, the Third Elder imitated Shen Jingxuan and continued to throw things inside.
When both of them had nothing in their hands, Shen Jingxuan disappeared in front of the warehouse door with him.
Near the study, Li Luo and Yun Qingmo were waiting anxiously.
"Why is there no fire yet? I wonder if Axuan is safe." Yun Qingmo said worriedly.
The two of them had been gone for such a long time, but not only was there no fire, they didn't even see any human figures.
Li Luo patted his shoulder gently: "Don't be impatient, wait a moment."
Yun Qingmo nodded slightly at him, but only he knew that his clenched fists were already filled with sweat.
After a while, Li Luo said, "Look, there is a fire."
Yun Qingmo looked in the direction he pointed and said hurriedly, "Light it up quickly, Axuan is waiting for us."
He could not let go of the worry in his heart unless he saw Shen Jingxuan.
Li Luo had just lit the bottle of alcohol when Shen Jingxuan and the third elder came over to them.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion was already in chaos. Hearing the shouting in the yard, the maids on duty ordered their masters to report to them, and the guards quickly rushed to the storehouse to check the situation.
Seeing this, Shen Jingxuan picked up the alcohol bottle on the ground, lit it and threw it directly into the study.
Yun Qingmo and the other two followed suit, and in just a moment, the fire in the study shot up into the sky.
They took advantage of the chaos to leave the Prince's Mansion, stood not far away, and watched everything quietly.
Yun Qingmo glanced at Shen Jingxuan and saw that there was nothing unusual about her, so he finally let go of his worry.
Shen Jingxuan watched the fire in the Prince's Mansion grow bigger and bigger, and slowly exhaled.
Burn it, the louder the better. It would be best if the Prince’s Mansion was burned down to relieve the anger in her heart.
At this time, the Prince's Mansion was already in a mess.
Xie Zihan was already unhappy today, and he suppressed his unhappiness and went to bed early.
However, he didn't expect that he was awakened by the noise in the mansion not long after he fell asleep.
He quickly put on his clothes and when he came to the yard, most of the warehouse had been burned down, and even the study was engulfed in flames.
Seeing that the guards kept putting out the fire, but the fire did not subside at all, and instead tended to burn more and more fiercely, Xie Zihan could not help but kick the people around him.
"Go call for help again." he shouted.
The warehouse is an important place, and the number of people on duty is several times that of other places.
So many people couldn't take good care of a warehouse, and no one even discovered the fire in advance.
Thinking of the valuable things in the warehouse, Xie Zihan felt a fishy-sweet taste rising up his throat. He pursed his lips tightly to prevent it from rushing out.
He turned around and looked at the study. When he saw that the fire in the study was gradually growing bigger and was now as big as that in the warehouse, he could no longer suppress the fishy and sweet taste in his mouth, which gradually overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Xie Zihan's eyes were red as he stood outside the warehouse, watching the huge warehouse burn up bit by bit. Finally, he couldn't control himself, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
He stood there all night, praying all the time that the fire would go out quickly, but it was just a wishful thinking.
He thought of countless possibilities all night long, but still couldn't figure out the cause of the incident.
The Prince's Mansion, he has lived here since the day he was made the Prince. Over the years, there has never been an accident.
He knew that the fires in the warehouse and study were strange, but no one could tell him the answer.
Shen Jingxuan and her group of four also stood not far from the Prince's Mansion, standing quietly all night.
She wanted to watch the Prince's Mansion burn bit by bit before her eyes until it disappeared completely, only then could she ease the hatred in her heart.
Xie Zihan coveted her, but she never took it to heart and was unwilling to continue to be entangled with him, which only made her feel disgusted.
But he should never have put his mind on Xie Lingxiao, nor should he have joined forces with Song Yi to ambush and assassinate him.
Whatever he wants to do, he can do it openly and honestly. He shouldn't use such despicable means.
If he used legitimate means, no matter what happened or what the outcome was, she would not burn down the Prince's Mansion.
Whether he was the crown prince or the heir of the prime minister's mansion had nothing to do with him.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the Prince's Mansion, which was filled with only smoke from cooking, turned coldly and walked towards the Regent's Palace.
She couldn't remember when she knew Xie Zihan's identity. She had already given him a lot of face by not revealing the matter to the emperor.
Now that he had done this, she was unwilling to take anyone's life or hurt innocent people.
A piece of news, a storehouse and a study in the Prince's Mansion, which were regarded as the interest she collected for Xie Lingxiao.
As for Xie Zihan's life, it depends on how the emperor deals with him after learning the news.
If Xie Zihan is still safe and sound when she finds Xie Lingxiao, then it will be up to Xie Lingxiao to decide whether he stays or goes.
Shen Jingxuan turned around to take a look at the Prince's Mansion which had returned to calm, pursed her lips, and turned to leave.
Today is the day she leaves to find Xie Lingxiao, and nothing can stop her anymore.
After Shen Jingxuan returned home, she simply packed a few clothes and left Chuntao in the Regent's Palace.
She brought Ling Qiong and Ling Huan to meet up with Yun Qingmo and Li Luo, and they walked out of the palace together.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Mr. Xue and Mr. Xu waiting in front of the mansion gate, and her eagerness to leave the city gradually waned.
