Chapter 225 - Capital Fire (2)

"Enter the palace!"

Mu Yanran immediately returned to the Imperial Palace to find Chunyu Hao!

To this day, ever since the Mu King Manor had been robbed clean by Mu Wanjun, Chunyu Hao stayed in the north garden of the Imperial Consort Yu's sleeping quarters.

Mu Yanran found Chunyu Hao, and at this time, he was hugging a beautiful palace maid and using his mouth to drink with her.

Mu Yanran had just destroyed the door when she pushed it open.

The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately dropped to the ground and retreated.

"What are you doing?" Chunyu Hao was very unsatisfied. Ever since Mu Yanran had kidnapped Ah Mu and angered Jin Yulie into giving him the killing order, he no longer wanted to bother with Mu Yanran. She was the one who put him in danger! He was now incomparably regretful, if only he had recklessly married Mu Wanjun back then. Or rather, not listening to her, guarding Mu Ruixin was also not bad.

It was still better than being shocked and affected by it while following Mu Yanran!

"My family has been sealed, but you're not worried at all?" she asked reproachfully. She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he was Duke Mu, she would definitely have pointed at his nose and scolded him on his behalf.

"I know about this, royal father did not implicate you in this, which is already a great favor. "You'd better be well-behaved lately, don't involve me!"

"The Mu manor is my family. If you refuse to help, do you think my royal father will let you go?" If you want to snatch the edict from Jin Yulie, you don't need to rely on me, you can only rely on yourself.

"You!" Chunyu Hao pointed at Mu Yanran in anger, but was unable to say anything.

After all, this was the Imperial Consort Yu's chambers. She had received the news the moment Mu Yanran had entered, and had ordered her men to hurry over to the Northern Courtyard.

Seeing the people from the Imperial Consort Yu, Mu Yanran could not say anything else.

"Yanran greets mufei." Mu Yanran's face showed grievance, and her eyes glimmered with tears. Mufei must save my parents. "

"I have also just heard about the matter of your General Mu's Estate. Do you know that this was done personally by the Emperor? Do you know the meaning behind it? "

Mu Yanran shook her head. However, she was guessing in her heart that perhaps all of the matters between him and the mother had been exposed. However, she knew that the Imperial Consort Yu had put in a lot of effort. If her majesty wanted to pursue the matter, why would he want to go solely to her, General Mu's House?

"About everything, you've caused quite a bit of trouble for me in the shadows as well. Right now, the Emperor is only targeting your father for not doing his duty. The meaning in his words can't be any clearer." Yanran, I'll tell you the truth too. Right now, you should be thinking about how to protect yourself. "

Imperial Consort Yu's well-maintained face of over 40 years old looked to be in her early thirties. There were exquisite eye makeup and a few fine lines at the end of her eyes. However, these wrinkles only added a bit to her charm.

It was no wonder that the Emperor was so fond of her. She did indeed have the qualifications to do so.

However, as she spoke these words, her eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness.

Mu Yanran's heart sank. "Mufei, your daughter-in-law doesn't understand."

"Don't understand? I see that you understand very well. You and your mother's plans were all foiled by His Majesty, so you know in your heart what problems he can create. Since Your Majesty has not touched you, it is only because you are Hao Er's wangfei that he is worried about the face of the imperial family. "

The meaning in his words was that the current Mu Yanran was definitely not one step short of taking the wrong step.

Mu Yanran's expression changed as she kowtowed, "Mufei, save me!"

She knew that she would not be able to rely on herself! Imperial Consort Yu should have a way to deal with all of this.

"Do you still want to save your mother?"

"mother, she …"

"There are some things that have to be done by the scapegoat. But your master seems to be from the Mount Kunlun. "

Imperial Consort Yu didn't want to say another word after saying these words. She just said that she was tired and went to bed. was left alone to kneel in the hall.

Mu Yanran chewed on the taste of Imperial Consort Yu's words, a sinister look flashing past her eyes.

The Imperial Consort Yu had clearly said that she was the one who planned everything, and who was not dead, and what things could he stir up with His Majesty? But it was hard to say, even though it was her idea to go from plan to plan, it was still her own mother.

Even if His Majesty suspected him, right now, just as the Imperial Consort Yu had said, he had to find a scapegoat.

"mother, I'm sorry for my daughter!" Mu Yanran clenched his teeth and turned back to his room.

When night fell, a black shadow sneaked out of the Imperial Palace, heading straight for the center of the Capital.

After that, the houses near the Jiumentu Palace suddenly started to burn, and when the fire started, it became extremely strong, burning an entire alley. At the end of the alley next to the Jiumentu Palace was a tall tower, and as the fire snakes licked the tower, it immediately started to burn.

The fire had fiercely burned down the tower, causing the Jiumentu Palace to not be able to escape from it.

This flame was very strange. Under the strong wind, it burned even more vigorously. People were pouring water and putting it out, but with little effect.

When the last of the flames had been put out, it was already dawn of the second day.

When Nimentinol checked the dead and wounded, she found that all the people in the dungeon had been burnt to death by the smoke of the fire.

The seventy odd people in the dungeon were prisoners awaiting trial, including the General's House's Madam Liushi!

Nimentinol cried in grief, how could he be so unlucky after so long!

He had thought that he would lose his head, but in the end, when the matter was reported to His Majesty, Chunyu Hong only punished him with a year's salary. Chunyu Hong ordered the residents to rebuild their homes and thus, the Capital fire came to an end.

Furthermore, General Mu should have been recalled back due to an urgent order, his position should have been demoted to a commoner. After the defeat of General Mu's Estate in one night, everything seemed to have been covered in ashes from that night, and no one brought up any topic related to Jin Yulie's son anymore. No one once again discussed who Mu Wanjun's child was with.

This was because people could feel a mysterious power controlling all of this from behind the shadows.

The incident strangely ended there.

However, Mu Yanran had quietly returned to the Mount Kunlun after that night when they had been engulfed in great flames.
