"The world is on fire, and the princess has put out the fire!"

After Lin Xiaoliu finished speaking, Xie Huaijing had already left the room.

"Your Majesty, is this person still serving as an official?" Lin Xiaoliu asked loudly.

Xie Huaijing had already walked far away and did not hear Lin Xiaoliu's words at all.

Lin Xiaoliu had no choice but to temporarily detain He Qianqian.

When Xie Huaijing arrived in the human world, the fire was almost extinguished.

"Where's the princess?" Xie Huaijing asked Ye Chi.

Ye Chi replied, "I went in to save people, but I haven't come out yet."

Without any hesitation, Xie Huaijing turned around and got into the world.

He saw Shen Yan and Qiu Yu helping Yuncheng and He Er out.

At this moment, the burned beam fell down, right above Shen Yan.

"Yan'er!"

Xie Huaijing rushed forward and protected Shen Yan with his body, causing the broken beam to hit his back firmly.

"Huai Jing!" Shen Yan was in Xie Huaijing's arms. She felt Xie Huaijing's body stiffen, and she also felt the huge force of the beam falling down.

She quickly got out, "Huai Jing, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry!" Fortunately, Xie Huaijing stretched out his arm to block it, otherwise, his back would have been broken.

"Let's go quickly, it's not safe here!" Xie Huaijing reminded.

Shen Yan nodded.

With the help of several people, they quickly walked out of the world. At the same time, there was a roar and the charred house collapsed.

A chill ran down Shen Yan's back, and they almost died here.

"Ye Chi, take Yuncheng and He Er to the medical center for treatment." Shen Yan ordered, "Yun Jin, you lead people to investigate the cause of the fire. Within an hour, I want to see the murderer kneeling in front of me!"

"Qiu Yu, you stay and deal with the scene."

There were people at the medical center for twelve hours, and Shen Yan was relieved to leave Yuncheng and He Er to them.

"Yes, princess." Ye Chi, Yun Jin, and Qiu Yu took the order.

Shen Yan looked at Xie Huaijing, "Sit down and I'll help you look at your injuries."

Xie Huaijing's clothes were directly burned. Shen Yan tore open the clothes and saw the blistered arms, her eyes became hot.

"They are here. Let's go back to the palace first. I need to treat your wounds first." Shen Yan's voice was trembling.

"Okay." Xie Huaijing held Shen Yan's hand, "Yan'er, I'm fine, don't worry."

The two of them returned to the palace together.

"Yan'er, it's all my fault for sleeping too deeply. If I came with you, you wouldn't have to take the risk." Xie Huaijing looked remorseful.

"I don't blame you, don't feel guilty. It was the arsonist who was at fault. When I catch him, I will make him pay with his life!" Shen Yan's voice was fierce.

"I have something to tell you. Maybe the most terrible thing in the world has something to do with her." Xie Huaijing said.

Otherwise, why would that person come as soon as Shen Yan left?

Shen Yan looked at Xie Huaijing, who told him the truth about He Qianqian breaking into the palace at night.

"If you say that, then everything can be explained."

Shen Yan's eyes were cold, "But she can never do such a big thing with her own strength. There must be someone behind her. When we get back, I will treat your injuries first and then interrogate her."

Xie Huai nodded.

to the palace.

After Shen Yan treated Xie Huaijing's wounds, he interrogated He Qianqian.

In less than an hour, Yun Jin escorted the person who set the fire to Shen Yan.

At this time, it was dawn.

Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing escorted He Qianqian into the palace.

Qiankun Palace.

Hundreds of officials go to court.

"Why didn't Prince Ling come today?" Emperor Xuande asked Eunuch Chen.

"I heard that the most beautiful thing in the world caught fire last night. The prince might go to help the princess, but he didn't have time to go to court."

After Eunuch Chen finished speaking, the chamberlain at the door quickly came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the prince and princess are here."

Shen Yan would not show up in the morning if nothing happened. If she showed up, something big would happen.

"Xuan!"

Emperor Xuande's voice fell, and Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing stepped in. They saluted, "I have met the emperor."

"No courtesy." Emperor Xuande looked at He Qianqian in the middle, "Who is this woman? What is going on?"

Nowadays, He Qianqian's makeup has been removed. Without makeup, she doesn't look so much like Shen Yan.

"Your Majesty, this woman is He Qianqian, the daughter of He Wentang. She broke into the palace last night to assassinate the minister, and was caught on the spot by the minister." Xie Huaijing reported.

"Bold, why did you assassinate King Ling and not get it from the truth?" Emperor Xuande asked angrily.

He Qianqian had just been interrogated by Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing. She had already tasted how powerful Shen Yan was. If she dared to lie, her life would be worse than death.

She glanced at Shen Yan from the corner of her eye and spoke slowly -

"My daughter is jealous of Princess You Ning and loves the prince. The prince looks down on her, but she cannot love her. She feels resentful and wants to kill the prince to vent her hatred."

After her words fell, there was an uproar in the palace, and everyone accused and laughed at her.

Emperor Xuande was even more furious, "Absurd! Ridiculous!"

"Your Majesty, not only that, the fire in the world last night was also caused by He Qianqian." Shen Yan said.

Emperor Xuande shouted, "How dare you Qianqian, I will punish you for all the crimes you have committed! If you make even half-truth, I will beat you to death with a stick!"

"My daughter heard that yesterday was the prince's birthday, and also heard that Princess Youning wanted to accompany the prince to celebrate his birthday, so she set fire to the world, lured the princess away, and then pretended to be a princess and sneaked into the prince's palace to assassinate the prince."

He Qianqian kowtowed violently, "Your Majesty, I know my mistake and I don't dare to do it anymore. I beg your Majesty to spare my life."

She confessed all her crimes, even avoiding the accusation of the person who set the fire.

"He Qianqian, how can you complete such a big plan by yourself?" Emperor Xuande asked, "Tell me, who ordered you?"

"It's the eldest princess." He Qianqian said without thinking.

Emperor Xuande ordered, "Come, take Yan Zhaoyue with you!"

Xie Chenglin's mansion.

"Is there no news about Miss Cousin yet?" Yan Zhaoyue asked the personal maid.

"No, but the world was indeed burned down last night. I heard that Princess Youning and the prince went to put out the fire." The maid asked, "Princess, do you think my cousin will be caught..."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Yan Zhaoyue scolded, "You have a crow's mouth, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll smash your mouth!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid ran in from outside, "Princess, Eunuch Chen is here."

Yan Zhaoyue's face turned pale. If Emperor Xuande wanted to see her, it would be up to him.

She told the maid, "Hurry to Shangshu Mansion and ask my father to save me!"

"Yes." The maid sneaked out through the side door.

Yan Zhaoyue arranged her clothes and walked out with her head held high. She followed Eunuch Chen to the Qiankun Hall.

Her eyes fell on He Qianqian's kneeling back, and her heart sank, thinking something was wrong.

But she still pretended to be calm and saluted Emperor Xuande.

"My daughter-in-law has seen my father."

"Yan Zhaoyue, are you guilty of instigating He Qianqian to murder Prince Ling?" Emperor Xuande asked coldly.

Yan Zhaoyue refused to admit it, "Father, my daughter-in-law was wronged. It was He Qianqian who often complained to her daughter-in-law that she loved Prince Ling and would not marry him but for him. My daughter-in-law did not expect that she would hate the prince because of her love and kill him. They also burned down Princess Youning’s shop.”

"I didn't even tell you what happened. If you were wronged, how could you know so much about how she committed the crime?" Emperor Xuande asked.

Yan Zhaoyue was stunned and speechless to refute.
