The queen, empress dowager, and Xiao Fei all turned to look at the emperor as well. When they saw Su Xia Yue and Nan Gong Ling Yun intimately standing at the entrance of the garden and walking in, these people had anger, despise, and also regret.

It was as if the majority of the people did not approve of Nan Gong Ling Yun marrying such a violent woman like Su Xia Yue.

Amongst them, the thing that made Su Xia Yue the most unhappy was the gaze of the Consort. It was a look of anger, but in the eyes of others, Consort still supported him unconditionally.

Sensing Su Xia Yue's sudden gloom, Nan Gong Ling Yun slightly turned his head. With just a single glance, Nan Gong Ling Yun seemed to have understood Su Xia Yue's thoughts.

He spoke in a low and gentle voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Some people, no matter how much nonsense they make, have no ill intentions. Try to look at things from her point of view. One day, it's very likely that she will be on the same side as you."

"You mean …"

Su Xia Yue looked up at Nan Gong Ling Yun, a glimmer in her eyes.

Nan Gong Ling Yun did not reply, he only smiled gently at Su Xia Yue.

At this time, Su Xia Yue softly asked: "If I asked you to choose between those people who are messing around, who would you choose?"

The meaning of these words were obvious. It's me and your mother. Who did you choose? The effect is the same as me and your mother falling into the water together, you will choose who to save first. Originally, Su Xia Yue thought that she would never ask such a petty and foolish question in her entire life. But when she had this thought, she had to ask.

Nan Gong Ling Yun only stared at Su Xia Yue for a moment as a complex feeling flowed through her eyes.

"Naturally, I will accompany you. At the same time, I will allow you to not disturb each other."

"Accompany me and then not disturb each other?"

Su Xia Yue smiled playfully. She was not satisfied with this answer, but it did not make her sad.

Only, after she regained her senses, Su Xia Yue started to ask Nan Gong Ling Yun: "Your Great Evolution Palace is on fire, aren't you in a hurry?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun replied with a smile: "Do you believe that even if the Imperial Palace was burnt, it wouldn't be able to burn my Great Evolution Palace?"

Su Xia Yue was puzzled: "Then why did you bring me here to take a look so anxiously?"

Nan Gong Ling Yun replied naturally, "Of course it's to see how the person who set the fire will act."

"…"

Black lines appeared on Su Xia Yue's face. It was unknown if it was because she admired Nan Gong Ling Yun's intelligence or his acting skills.

At this time, although the Xiao Fei's son, the Second Prince, looked to be a thirty year old Nan Gong Jing Ge, her IQ was only the same as that of a three year old child. He suddenly pointed at the back of the garden and screamed in fear.

"Fire!" Fire! Fire! There are a lot of people there, a lot of fire. "

Everyone was surprised that the Second Prince could speak clearly. At the same time, he looked in the direction Nan Gong Jing Ge had shouted towards.

At the back of the garden, he could see the thick smoke rising.

Su Xia Yue thought that things were not good. Could it really be that the secret room was destroyed? Just as she was about to go and take a look …

Who knew …

Nan Gong Ling Yun reached out and pulled Su Xia Yue back.

Seeing Nan Gong Ling Yun's calm expression, Su Xia Yue did not understand. But she still chose to believe in Nan Gong Ling Yun, and waited for her future development.

The emperor had sent more than a hundred men to carry water to extinguish the fire. As a result, when someone came to report it, they discovered a secret passage in a small house beside the back garden. Following that secret passage, everyone discovered a secret underground room with a large amount of gold and food. As the palace rows continued to investigate, they discovered that Empress Xi had also disappeared without a trace.

This series of secret messages made the emperor really erupt with rage.

"How preposterous! "What's going on?"

"No, no, no, I don't know!" The guard reported with a blank expression.

Xiao Fei started to mock him.

"Naturally, the secret passage set up by the fenugreek was discovered. She usually does some shady business and accidentally got caught in a fire so she escaped."

"I never thought that the fenugreek was actually such a person." Consort agreed in a low voice, her face filled with astonishment and fear.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. As the imperial concubine, how can she simply disappear like this? Immediately go find someone to bring fenugreek back! " The empress looked displeased as she issued her orders in a loud voice.

The affairs of the harem were indeed her responsibility.

After the emperor tacitly agreed to the empress's order, the imperial bodyguard immediately nodded his head, and then followed the order to leave.

Hearing the strange result, Su Xia Yue could not help but ask Nan Gong Ling Yun about it in her Spirit Sea.

"What's going on?" After a while, another secret passage appeared in the garden. Why did the secret passage that was burnt down was unknown to me, and the imperial concubine suddenly disappeared? "

"My Love Consort really likes to ask questions. In such a short time, she asked three questions in a row?" Nan Gong Ling Yun's face still had a calm expression, but his voice was laughing.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for his acting.

However, Su Xia Yue did not have the patience to watch his act, and directly glared at Nan Gong Ling Yun, causing him to reveal the whole story.

"Didn't you notice that while I was guarding you, Xie Yan and his group had all disappeared?"

"Yeah, where did they go?"

"They went to investigate the people who sent people to assassinate you tonight, and coincidentally discovered the suspicious whereabouts of the crown prince. Just now, they already reported to me, that the crown prince intentionally set fire to the entrance of our Great Evolution Palace, and was then secretly lured into the east by Su Zi Zhe and Xie Yan, and burned down the secret passage that the fenugreek had been secretly operating."

Nan Gong Ling Yun's words could only be heard by Su Xia Yue and Nan Gong Ling Yun.

But Su Xia Yue still could not help but raise her eyebrows with astonishment in her eyes.

"So you're saying, this secret passage was really created by the fenugreek? "Then …"

"fenugreek was secretly with Nan Gong Yi Chen, but this big fire, it almost made them lose everything" Nan Gong Ling Yun did not seem like he was going to say more, there was even a hint of pity in his words.

"If the imperial concubine is missing, then wouldn't Nan Gong Hong Yun be …" Su Xia Yue thought of the Fifth Princess.

Other than the family of his concubine, his concubine's child from the incident in matriarch would be the second most affected. If Nan Gong Hong Yun was unable to protect herself, then Nan Gong Yi Jin, who she had hidden away, should not even be able to use it to surface …

Although this method was a bit cruel, but in this palace of swindling each other, who wouldn't be fighting to the death?

If not for the detailed arrangement of the people around Nan Gong Ling Yun, she was afraid that he and Nan Gong Ling Yun would be the ones to suffer.

Su Xia Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Not long after, Crown Prince Nan Gong Yi Chen came over with his staff officers. However, Nan Gong Yi Chen's expression was obviously not well.

"Father, what happened here?"

"What is it?" That fenugreek actually dared to set up a secret passage without permission. Now, if you help your mother, you must think of a way to capture that fenugreek! Yan Jia's interrogation! "

"Yes" Nan Gong Yi Chen lowered his head slightly.

Only Su Xia Yue could tell that when she mentioned the imperial concubine again, her eyes were filled with pity, unwillingness, and even resentment.

Seeing Nan Gong Yi Chen's expression, Su Xia Yue was slightly shocked.

Could it be that Nan Gong Yi Chen was involved with the fenugreek?
