Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

Chapter 10 Burning the Prime Minister’s Mansion

"I'm either angry at you, or I feel very sorry that you used such an excuse for me."

Gu Nian's hand was held by Xiao Mobai, and he looked down at Xiao Mobai apologetically.

Xiao Mobai sighed silently. He was just a prince now, and Gu Qing was not only on good terms with his father, but also a hero of Daliang. He could not do anything for Gu Nian, he could only use this method to make Gu Nian suffer less. Wronged.

Xiao Mobai felt very powerless because of his powerlessness. He had made Nian'er suffer a lot of injustice, but even so, his Nian'er still felt sorry!

"Nian'er..."

Xiao Mobai looked at Gu Nian with emotion and strengthened his determination.

Xiao Mobai had been deliberately making Gu Nian happy all day long. Because he had spread the news that he was infected with the epidemic, he could not take Gu Nian to other places and could only play with Gu Nian in the prince's womb.

At night, after Xiao Mobai put Gu Nian to sleep after a tiring day, he quietly left the palace.

"His Royal Highness, everything is ready."

Ye Zhao had been waiting in the prince's study for a long time. When Xiao Mobai came over, Ye Zhao immediately reported to him respectfully.

"Okay, let's start taking action. Now is the right time."

Xiao Mobai lowered his eyes and played with the jade pendant given to him by Gu Nian.

Since Gu Qing has repeatedly wronged Nian'er and Nian'er is unhappy in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no need to exist! Even though he let Gu Nian enter the palace this time, he was not prepared to let her go back again!

Ye Zhao retreated after receiving the order and disappeared directly into the night, as if he had never been there before.

If Gu Nian saw the scene at this time, he would definitely be surprised by Ye Zhao's skill.

The streets in the middle of the night were completely silent, leaving only two afterimages flying past on the rooftops along the street...

"It's not good! There's a leak! Someone, come quickly!"

In the silence of the night, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the maids and servants in the mansion heard the shouting, they hurriedly picked up buckets and poured water into the burning room.

But for some reason, the fire got bigger and bigger. Originally, only one house was on fire, but it gradually spread to the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Mother! Mother! How wonderful is this! All my gold and silver jewelry is gone!"

Accompanied by panicked shouts, Gu Rongrong was seen standing in the yard with disheveled hair and only wearing a white middle coat.

Her face had been turned into black patches by the fireworks, and she looked very embarrassed.

But her mother, Wang, had no time to take care of Gu Rongrong at this time and allowed Gu Rongrong to pull her and scream in panic. But he kept in mind that the title deeds to his land had been destroyed by fire.

Gu Qing also hurried from his yard. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Mrs. Wang standing in the yard with a big belly, staring blankly at the house that had been swallowed up by the fire.

When the mansions around the Prime Minister's Palace heard the noise and saw the raging fire, they sent their maids and servants to join the fire-fighting crowd.

However, because the fire was so fierce, a group of people spent the whole night trying to put out the fire.

After dawn, Gu Qing, Wang, Gu Rongrong, and all the maids and servants in the mansion stood in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, the Prime Minister's Mansion still had the prosperity of the past. Only the frame was left in the fire. Ruins and broken walls.

Gu Qing looked at the scene in front of him, clenching his hands tightly at his sides, loosening and tightening, tightening and loosening again. I took a deep breath for a long time before I could control my emotions.

Gu Qing was not a fool, and it was definitely not an accident that his house was on fire like this.

He carefully checked in his mind whether he had offended anyone recently, but after thinking for a long time, he found no one to suspect.

"Come on! Prepare the car!"

Gu Qing stood there and asked the servant to prepare the carriage, with anger that could not be concealed in his tone.

He wants to go to the palace immediately to see His Majesty, and wants the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate who dares to do things behind his back like this!

The boy walked up to Gu Qing tremblingly.

"Come back, sir! Our carriage was all burned in the fire, and all the horses were frightened by the fire and ran away..."

"This!"

Gu Qing glared at the young man, unable to recover from the shock for a moment.

When the officials from other mansions standing around the Prime Minister's Mansion saw this, they immediately said to Gu Qing in a flattering manner: "Master Gu, if you don't mind, can you use my carriage?"

"Alright."

Gu Qing glanced at the person who spoke. There was no other way at this time except using someone else's carriage, and he didn't know how to ride a horse.

When the man heard that Gu Qing agreed, he quickly ordered the servant in the mansion to bring the carriage from the mansion.

In the palace, Xiao Mobai, who was lying on the couch with Gu Nian in his arms, suddenly looked out the door, then pulled his arm out from under Gu Nian's neck, and gently placed Gu Nian's little head on the soft pillow.

After Xiao Mobai confirmed that Gu Nian was still asleep, he walked out quietly.

"Everything is done?"

Xiao Mobai walked to the chair in the main hall and sat down. He took a sip of tea before slowly asking.

"Go back to Your Highness, it's been done. The Prime Minister's Mansion has been burned to rubble."

Ye Zhao recalled seeing the Prime Minister's Mansion burned to ruins by fire, and suppressed a smile to answer Xiao Mobai's question.

Xiao Mobai held the tea cup and was very satisfied with the result.

"Well, you did a good job. What's Gu Qing's reaction now?"

"Back to Your Highness, according to the news that came back in the night, Mr. Gu is now on his way to the palace in a carriage."

When Xiao Mobai heard the news, he frowned and looked at Ye Zhao.

"Isn't Gu Mansion burned to rubble? Did you leave a carriage for Gu Qing?"

Xiao Mobai's tone was cold, obviously very dissatisfied with this result.

Ye Zhao was so frightened by Xiao Mobai's cold tone that his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. You must know that although their Crown Prince is not old, he can be said to be very sophisticated in handling things.

Although his master's status is still the prince, the guards who are close to him all know that the emperor has already given the prince full authority to handle state affairs.

If it were not for the relationship between Mr. Gu Qing and His Majesty the Emperor, the fate of the Gu Mansion today would not be as simple as being set on fire!

"Back to Your Highness, the carriage that Gu Qing is riding in was lent to him by Mr. Zhang, a neighbor of the Gu family!"

Ye Zhao hurriedly explained to Xiao Mobai the whereabouts of the carriage and abdicated his responsibility.

Not to mention a carriage, not even a piece of cloth was left for Master Lu Qing!

Xiao Mobai raised his eyebrows and continued to drink a sip of tea, then said slowly: "Huh! Since Mr. Zhang wants to be friends with Gu Qing so much, let him make it happen!"

After Xiao Mobai finished speaking, he put down his teacup and slowly walked out of the main hall of the Prince's Mansion...
