After the divorce, King Zhan cried and begged me to remarry

Chapter 381 Arson
On Xiaoyun's side, a lot of firewood had been brought over and piled outside the house where Wan Guzi was being held.

There was silence in the house. In this quiet night, Wan Guzi had already fallen asleep.

The door was locked tightly with a large iron lock. If the fire really started, she would definitely die.

Because of nervousness, Xiaoyun took the flint and struck the fire several times, but nothing happened.

She cursed secretly, and then finally fired the spark.

Just when she was about to take action, she heard a noise behind her.

"Who?"

Xiaoyun turned her head suddenly and looked around suspiciously, but didn't hear anything else.

Could it be that she heard wrong?

In fact, the courtyard where Wan Guzi was imprisoned was indeed the most remote place in Prince Zhan's palace. The guards would not come here during normal patrols.

If Lin Fuying's plan to kill people and silence them is actually implemented, there is still a high possibility.

Xiaoyun was nervous for a long time. No one noticed her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as she was about to light the fire, she heard a loud noise.

"Quick, the sound is probably heading this way! Go over there and take a look!"

Why did the guards on night patrol come here suddenly?

Xiaoyun quickly put away her things, kicked away the piled firewood with her feet, and left in a hurry along the path on the other side.

As soon as she left, the patrolling guards passed by.

"There's no movement here, you should have gone somewhere else!"

Dongyue only came back a little earlier than Xiaoyun.

She just couldn't stop him directly, so she turned around and went to find the guards patrolling around Prince Zhan's palace.

He deliberately made some noise in front of them and then led them all the way over.

In this way, even if Xiaoyun has already taken action, he will still be discovered in time.

Xiaoyun had been frightened out of her mind by those guards for a long time. She didn't dare to do anything again and ran back quickly.

Lin Fuying is still staying awake just to wait for Xiaoyun to come back.

But who knew that the news Xiaoyun brought back would be so bad.

"What? Not only did you fail to succeed, but you almost got discovered?"

This news made Lin Fuying almost fall down with anger.

"Such a good opportunity, if you don't get rid of her tonight, are you waiting for her to confess to me in front of brother Yunting tomorrow?"

"Do you think your life in the palace will be easy if I lose power?"

It's not that Xiaoyun didn't understand Lin Fuying's words.

After all, Lin Fuying and Ye Yunting have a friendship that they grew up with.

If Lin Fuying really fell out of favor, she would only be worse off.

Therefore, now the only option is to follow Lin Fuying.

"My servant didn't do it on purpose. I just don't know what happened, but a large number of guards came over."

After Xiaoyun came back from there, she didn't dare to go back again.

Who knows if those guards will fight back?

"I am the person who serves you. I am just afraid that those people will see me and follow the clues to find you."

What Xiaoyun said makes sense.

The sullenness in Lin Fuying's eyes finally disappeared.

But even so, she would not let Xiaoyun go easily.

"You stand outside the door, no rest tonight!" If the immediate crisis hadn't been over, Lin Fuying wouldn't have let her go so easily.

Xiaoyun was aggrieved, but no matter how aggrieved she was, she dared not disobey Lin Fuying.

She stood outside all night and almost didn't get sick from the cold wind.

Dongyue had to get up early in the morning to be on duty. When she saw her figure at the door, she knew that this must be Lin Funing's punishment.

"What are you looking at?" Xiaoyun glared at her fiercely, "Don't think that because Concubine the Concubine has punished me, she will no longer value me in the future. Let me tell you, you will never get Concubine Concubine again. favor!"

With great difficulty, she managed to snatch Dongyue's maid's position.

Now, I won’t let Dongyue see the joke!
Facing Xiaoyun who was still stubborn, Dongyue just shook her head, and then went in to help Lin Fuying wash up.

On the other side of the palace, Ye Yi learned a new news from a servant of the palace.

"You mean, when the prince came back that day, a piece of his jade pendant was missing?"

Yoruichi's face always had a cold look on it.

Now he was deliberately sullen, and the aura he showed was even more unbearable to the boy in front of him.

"The villain has already reported it to the steward at that time, but the steward said that the jade pendant is not the prince's favorite thing. If it is lost, just look for it if you can find it. If you can't find it, there is no need to publicize it. You can get another piece from the warehouse to add it another day. That’s it.”

After all, Ye Yunting has so many things to be busy with on weekdays, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about such small things in life.

Therefore, no one came to tell Ye Yi about the jade pendant.

Ye Yi thought for a moment and realized that the prince's jade pendant had disappeared after returning from Xingshan Temple.

Could it be that he fell into the temple?
Before he had time to think about it, Ye Yunting had already given the order.

"Has the investigation at Xingshan Temple been clear?"

Yoruichi bowed and said: "My subordinates have sent people to inquire and confirm that the sister-in-law is indeed working at Xingshan Temple. Some time ago, she went back for a while on the pretext of family matters. As for whether she has appeared in Beijing, My subordinates are still asking people to check."

When the people from Prince Zhan's Mansion went over, they actually found something else.

"Your Majesty, Princess... Miss Chu seems to have also sent people to Xingshan Temple to investigate."

"What did she send people to do?"

Hearing Chu Nanli's presence, Ye Yunting frowned subconsciously.

For some reason, the image of Chu Nanli in front of him that day reappeared in front of his eyes.

She once said that the child in her belly was his.

How can it be!

This is just a stop-gap measure for that woman!
Ye Yunting shook his head in frustration, trying not to think about things related to Chu Nanli.

Ye Yi continued: "For the time being, my subordinates have not found out that the concubine had any contact with this sister-in-law. However, for a period of time, the concubine did leave the house frequently, and she seemed to have spent money to buy a house outside."

He had already sent someone over to take Aunt Wan's portrait and ask people nearby if they had seen her.

By the way, let's go over there and investigate whether Lin Fuying and Xiaoyun have appeared.

If someone has seen Lin Fuying and Wan Guzi at the same time, then this is worth talking about.

"The other evidence hasn't been found yet. Why don't you listen to what the aunt said first?"

Now that Guzi Wan's identity has been confirmed, what she said has some credibility.

"When did this king need you to make a decision?"

Ye Yunting was upset, and the look he looked at Ye Yi was naturally particularly cold.

"It was my subordinate who took offense."

Ye Yi quickly knelt down, knowing that at this time, no matter what he said, it would make Ye Yunting angry.

But you can't just say nothing.
