Chapter 47 - Chapter 47 047. The Kaiser is here to look for him
"Why is this fire so big?!"
The Tutor Palace was the residence of the emperor's master. The size of the place was obvious, even if there was a fire in one place, there would definitely be people who would know. It was impossible for the fire to spread to such a large place.
Unless every room was on fire, and every courtyard was on fire. If so, it wouldn't just be accidental fire, but human flames …
She had previously discovered in the King Jing Palace that every place there was fireproof wood. Even if there was a fire, it wouldn't spread so fast.
The King Jing Palace was the same, so was the palace. She guessed that the wood in the residences of the Easternum had all been treated with fire.
Thinking about this, Liu Ruo Qing squinted his eyes as if she had thought of something. The corner of her mouth curled up and a strange smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Looks like this Master Tutor must have provoked some kind of enemy. This fire was not that simple.
It was at this time that a commotion broke out at the entrance of the Tutor's Palace.
A few guards, their faces tainted by the black smoke, carried out two corpses that had been burnt beyond recognition.
"Reporting to Prince, General Tong, we found Tutor and Madam."
The moment the girl, who was held tightly by Yan Shuo, heard this voice, he mustered his strength and escaped from Yan Shuo's embrace, rushing towards the two bodies that were being carried by the guards.
"Rong Er!"
Seeing that the girl was about to pounce on the charred corpse, Yan Shuo panicked and quickly rushed over. Fortunately, he stopped her in time.
The fire on the corpses had been extinguished. The temperature of the corpses was extremely high. As long as they came into contact with the fire, they would be burned.
"Rong Er, calm down."
"Yan Shuo, let go of me. It's my parents who died. How do you want me to calm down? Tell me! How am I supposed to calm down?! Let go of me!"
She hysterically grabbed Yan Shuo's clothes and shook them, but Yan Shuo did not let go.
Yan Yuan glanced at the two sentences of charred corpses, then ordered someone to cover them with white cloth. Following that, he looked at the guards and asked: "Are you sure it's the Tutor Yun and Madam?"
"Return to Prince, we found these two corpses in Master Tutor's room."
The guards didn't dare to confirm anything, so they could only reply in this manner.
Yan Yuan looked at the girl in Yan Shuo's embrace and hesitated for a moment. Then, he waved his hand and signaled the guards to carry the corpse down first.
When the corpse passed by Liu Ruo Qing, her eyes swept across him lightly, the strange look in her eyes became even deeper.
Only after an entire night had passed did the fire finally subside. By now, the sky had already turned white.
Liu Ruo Qing had dozed off the whole night, regretting that she had shamelessly pestered Yan Yuan to join in on the fun.
That night, other than seeing the Tutor Yun's daughter crying his heart out in Yan Shuo's arms, it was also seeing the charred corpses of the servants being carried out of the Tutor's residence.
Sigh, just how many families have been burnt.
Liu Ruo Qing felt that it was a bit pitiful, but in her heart, she couldn't help but feel sympathy towards the victims that had died here.
After the fire ended, the sky turned bright. Yan Shuo took Tutor Yun's daughter into the imperial palace, and Yan Yuan also entered the palace. Liu Ruo Qing returned to the King Jing Palace to rest, and slept through the night.
East Garden —
"Princess, please wake up! Princess is here, please wake up!"
Xiao Yue's voice kept ringing beside Liu Ruo Qing's ears, making him frown in annoyance.
"Xiao Yue, what are you arguing about? The Kaiser is here, they are definitely looking for Yan Yuan, why are you arguing about me?"
She sat up in a frenzy, clutching her disheveled hair, her eyes wide open.
This smelly Xiao Yue really didn't know the rules. Luckily she was a fake Princess, if she was a real Princess, with Xiao Yue's intelligence, she wouldn't be able to live past the first episode before she was executed.
"No, Princess, Emperor is here to see you."
"Looking for me?"
Liu Ruo Qing's originally drowsy eyes instantly brightened up. She suddenly woke up and sat up on the bed.
"What is your nephew Kaiser looking for me for?"
This was the Kaiser, even if there was something he wanted to talk to her about, he could just send someone to pass on a message, and she actually came personally to the King Jing Palace to meet her?
Liu Ruo Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, "It seems, little Kaiser has something to ask of me."
Not to mention what business Kaiser had with her, if she were to help him this time, Kaiser would owe her a favor. In the future, she would be able to please Kaiser once again.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Yan Shuo sitting in the center with a worried look on his face.
Presumably, it was because of Tutor Yun's daughter.
But then again, she thought that Yan Shuo was only willing to stay behind because he had the Dragon and Sun fetishes, but looking at the situation yesterday, Yan Shuo was obviously interested in that Miss Yun.
As long as he wished for it, the ten empress dowager would already be there. Could it be that the Miss Yun didn't fancy him?
The monarch of a nation that held all the authority in the world had a first-rate appearance, so his moral character wouldn't be too bad. Just this first point alone, presumably no one wanted to reject him.
When Yan Shuo saw her appear, he became anxious. "Ninth Aunt."
"Emperor, I heard from Xiao Yue that you were looking for me?"
She automatically skipped the etiquette that should have been there, thinking that this Kaiser brat was not in the mood to pay attention to too many details.
She then walked to the empty chair beside Yan Yuan and sat down, then looked at Yan Shuo, waiting for him to speak.
"Yes, I have something important to talk to you about."
"It has something to do with the Miss Yun."
She randomly grabbed an apple from a plate beside her and took a bite.
"How do you know?"
"You're just talking nonsense. Last night, you hugged his heartbroken appearance and almost let him pinch your heart out."
Liu Ruo Qing teased, but when she saw her sloppy appearance, she could not help but blurt out: "Can you sit and talk to me?"
She crossed her legs and shook her legs non-stop. She looked no different from a Princess, she was clearly a playful and disrespectful gangster.
Liu Ruo Qing lazily rolled her eyes at him, and took another bite of the apple, saying: "Talking depends on your mouth, not your butt, how do you care about how I sit?"
Even though she said that, she still obediently changed her posture. Although she was sitting like a lady from a noble family, she was still a far cry from them.
And because of that, even though her master had enough money to make her a celebrity, she just couldn't get in.
