The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Seeing their solemn oath, Lu Xiuyuan forced himself to calm down, soften his sullen expression, and asked them to explain the causes and consequences of the fire.

The soldiers only said that they were on guard outside the armory as usual last night, and everything was normal in the first half of the night. Suddenly, at about 1 a.m., they heard a "whoosh" sound coming from the armory.

When they heard the noise, they opened the door immediately and saw a sea of ​​fire inside.

All the heavy weapons were engulfed in flames almost instantly.

It was too late to call for help to put out the fire.

After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan's brows were tightly furrowed and his face looked terribly gloomy.

There was no debris in the armory, let alone any flammable or explosive items. How could a fire break out for no reason?

Even if a fire broke out accidentally, it should normally burn little by little, with the fire showing a tendency to grow from small to large. How could it be possible that it would explode in an instant and engulf all the weapons?

According to the scene they described, this fire was definitely not an accident!

However, he did not expect that there was a spy among his men!

"Think carefully, was there anything unusual before the fire? Or has anyone been to the armory?" Lu Xiuyuan asked them with a stern face.

Several soldiers looked at each other, and then looked at Xia Younan beside Lu Xiuyuan at the same time, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Xia Younan had told him last night to go to the armory to check if there were any damaged weapons or those that needed improvement, and that he had sprained his foot on the way back.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Xia Younan was surprisingly calm, and without waiting for him to ask, she took the initiative to say, "Husband, I did go to the armory last night, and I have already told you the reason.

"And the armory was fine when I left it. Then I twisted my ankle and was sent back to my room. I never left again."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded and asked the soldiers, "Besides the princess, has anyone else entered the armory?"

The leading soldier shook his head and said, "Marshal, let alone last night, since we came to this city and built the armory, no one has ever entered it except the princess."

After that, he looked at Xia Younan deeply, paused for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and said bluntly: "Marshal, last night the princess entered the armory and said she wanted to check the weapons. She also refused to accompany me and sent me out.

"She stayed in the warehouse alone for a long time before coming out. Not long after she came out, the armory caught fire."

"I don't know why the weapons were in good condition when we were defending the city. Why do you want to check them for no reason? And at this critical moment."

When he said this, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was suspicious of Xia Younan.

But what he said was well-founded, and everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious. Some people were discussing it in whispers, while others looked at Xia Younan with suspicion.

After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan felt terrible and turned around to look at Xia Younan with a sharp gaze.

It was obviously her, but if it was her, how could she do such a thing?

Xia Younan's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that this soldier was so bold that he was not afraid of being punished and questioned the marshal's wife in public in front of the marshal.

"How dare you! Are you guys even suspecting me?!"

On the surface, Xia Younan pretended to be angry and explained loudly, "I said, it was because the breakout was imminent and I was afraid of making mistakes that I went to the armory to check.

"And the armory was still in good condition after I left. I never went there again. How can you say I am a suspect?"

The soldier was speechless, but subconsciously felt that it was related to her, so he just clasped his fists and begged Lu Xiuyuan, "I hope the Marshal will understand."

"Husband, you believe me, right? How could I do anything to let you down?" Xia Younan grabbed Lu Xiuyuan's sleeve in panic.

Lu Xiuyuan patted her shoulder, signaling her to stay calm, and then asked the soldier, "When the princess entered the armory, did you bring anything with you? For example... oil and wine."

The only things that can cause deflagration are oil or alcohol.

The soldier thought about it carefully and reported truthfully: "On the surface, she is alone and does not carry anything, but I don't know if she has anything hidden on her.

"After all, she was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves last night, which could hold a lot of things, and we didn't dare to search her body."

Lu Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

His wife was lively and active by nature, and she was also a martial artist who practiced martial arts every day. Clothes with wide sleeves were cumbersome and troublesome, and were not her style at all.

She usually likes to wear simple clothes with narrow sleeves, and almost never wears wide robes with large sleeves except in formal occasions.

The clothes he wore yesterday were normal, so why did he change into a wide robe with big sleeves when he went out in the middle of the night?

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's suspicion, Xia Younan was a little frightened, swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be calm and explained: "It's cool at night, and my other clothes are a bit thin, so I wear a thicker robe with big sleeves.

"My dear husband, what can a piece of clothing prove? You are not going to doubt me just because of the words of a lowly soldier? I am your wife!"

Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, his burning gaze stayed on her face.

A lowly soldier? He was sure that his Younan would never say such a thing.

At this moment, he had a strong premonition that the person in front of him was not his wife, even though she knew everything between them.

"Come here, take her away and lock her up. Do not let her out without my order."

Lu Xiuyuan suddenly gave an order, startling everyone.

Xia Younan was stunned and looked at him in shock, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Didn't they say...didn't they say that Lu Xiuyuan and Xia Younan were deeply in love and would last till death? How could he...

Or, was there something wrong with her?

"Your Highness, what are you doing..." Chen Yi didn't know what was going on and asked in confusion.

Lu Xiuyuan did not answer him, but leaned close to Xia Younan's ear and said, "Don't panic, after all, you were the only one who went to the armory last night, so you are the most suspicious.

"If I don't lock you up, I'm afraid the soldiers will not obey. We are about to break out, and the army cannot lose its morale. You just need to endure some hardship and stay in the room for a few days. When I find evidence of your innocence, I will release you."

Hearing him say this, Xia Younan breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't be locked up, she still had to send intelligence out...

"Husband, no, we have to break out tomorrow. I am worried about you. I want to fight alongside you."

"Didn't you sprain your ankle? Why are you fighting alongside me?" Lu Xiuyuan looked at her still bandaged ankle, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"I..." Xia Younan was speechless and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Xiuyuan.

"Lock up the princess and take action after we find out the truth of the matter." Lu Xiuyuan gave the order again.

The soldier immediately agreed and, ignoring Xia Younan's struggles and shouting, helped her walk in a certain direction.

The other soldiers couldn't help but admire Lu Xiuyuan more when they saw him sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice.

After all the people had dispersed, Su Yu couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "My Lord, why did you lock up the princess? Didn't you test it last night? She is the princess."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't explain much, just said: "I feel that she is not my Younan, no reason, no cause, just because of my feeling."
