"What!" When the Ministry Councillor saw this, he was also shocked: "How could that be, this is my Eastern Pearl, how could it be fake!"

"I thought it was weird. The things here look so bright and beautiful, but they always make people feel uncomfortable. Especially this pearl, it felt even heavier than usual. I just scratched it with my finger. There's a layer of paint on the outside, and if it's real, then it's definitely powder. "

As she spoke, the corners of her lips curled up in a smile, "It seems like quite a few things have happened while you were unaware of it."

With that, she raised her hand and pointed.

"Is there anything in your residence that you don't know about?"

Hearing her words, the old man thought for a while and his face also changed. He did not turn back, but only looked at the courtyard, and after looking for a while he muttered: "It's the Third Prince. He said, he said that I don't have enough people here, so he gave me a few guards …"

"Looks like what I said was right. You've been designed by someone yet you don't even know it." It looks like he's only treating you as a useless chess piece that she can give up on at any time. " Xi Mengyao laughed, and spread her hands: "Now I have been abandoned."

"How could this be …" "Impossible, this …"

The old man was already incoherent. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be quite frightened.

Xi Mengyao looked outside and saw that it was already a sea of fire. Even within the house, they were incomparably hot.

She had only been standing there for a short while, but her face was already red. If this continued, she would get scalded.

She had to pull people back and hide in the dark.

As she thought about it, she looked around at the surrounding walls and discovered that there was a layer of tung oil over the walls, which could temporarily prevent the fire from entering.

However, the silver lock on the door had already melted. In a short while, the head would fall off and the door would open.

There were already people waiting outside the door. They were probably waiting for this moment.

She thought for a moment, then turned around and said to Ministry Councillor Liu, "This is not a robbery."

The old man turned his head to look at her. Xi Mengyao only smiled and said: "If you hand the letter between you and Third Prince to me now, I'll bring you out. How about it?"

"Are you serious?" The Ministry Councillor Liu reacted to these words, but when he looked at Xi Mengyao, his face couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.

Xi Mengyao shrugged her shoulders, and without caring about anything, she leaned on the chair beside him and asked: "If you don't believe me, you don't have to ask. Now, even if you and I do not cooperate, Third Prince will still treat you as a member of my faction. You have no choice. "

When the old man heard these words, he did the same thing in detail, but he reached something else. He looked at Xi Mengyao with an expression of disbelief, and said while clenching his teeth fiercely.

"You did it on purpose! "You, you …"

At this time, Xi Mengyao laughed: "Where did this thing come from? I just told them everything that I said, and if anyone heard it, they wouldn't blame me. All of these choices were made by you, so I didn't force you with a knife. "

Ministry Councillor Liu suddenly realised when he heard this. He only saw the goddess-like woman in front of him and felt a chill behind him.

"The reason why you intentionally said those words in the courtyard, provoked my killing intent and intentionally brought up my weakness, is to let them go out and spread the news. Such a vicious heart, such a vicious heart!" When he said this, his hands were trembling, and he wanted to pinch Xi Mengyao's neck.

Xi Mengyao laughed coldly, opened his hand, and laughed coldly: "You can say that, but all of this is just an accident."

She had indeed wanted to use these words to provoke a conflict between them. However, she didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless.

Thinking this, she stood up, loosened her arm, and said, "I also don't want to tell you more about this matter. If you trust me, then hand the thing over to me and we can work together. I can't protect the gold and silver in this room, but I can protect your life, including the position of your son and son-in-law in the court. "

As she spoke, she combed her hair, "After all, other than the Prince Jing, I still have a prime minister."

The old man just glared at him, his eyes full of anger.

"Of course. If you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I don't mind watching you die."

The cunning old man, upon hearing these words, could no longer reveal that kind of scheming smile. He dropped to the ground and thought for a while, then looked at Xi Mengyao miserably: "You! You really are a vicious woman! "

Saying that, he immediately stood up, and then turned around and opened up the pillar, taking out the letters inside, he gave them to Xi Mengyao.

Then, he took out an exquisite carved red lacquer wooden box and gave it to her.

"When I contacted the Third Prince back then, everything he gave me was now here. How are you going to take me out of here?!"

The old man gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words. His tone had already changed a little.

"Sure." Xi Mengyao only nodded slowly.

At this moment, with a "clang" sound, the silver lock could no longer withstand the heat and was melted.

It was at this moment that the door was pushed open from the outside. They also saw the person who had been waiting for them outside the room.

"It's you!" Ministry Councillor Liu looked at him in disbelief.

That person was none other than the butler he had always thought was the one he relied on!

He pointed at the man, but could not utter a single word. At this time, the man coldly laughed and said, "Now that you guys can't leave, based on our many years of friendship, if you obediently accept your death, I won't let you suffer any more!"

After he finished speaking, the man took out a short blade from his sleeve, and directly slashed at Ministry Councillor Liu.

Just then, Xi Mengyao grabbed the flower pot beside him and threw it towards his arm.

That person did not expect this person to have such speed and reaction. Seeing this action, he slightly moved, but by the time he wanted to dodge, it was already too late. His arm was severely hit, and the short knife fell to the ground.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao bent over and picked up the bandit, and unhesitatingly slashed at her ankle!

Ah!" The man cried out in pain and tumbled to the ground, clutching his feet.

Xi Mengyao then stood up and picked up Ministry Councillor.

They went out and immediately lit a cigarette, then said to the Ministry Councillor Liu: "If you have anything you want to take, take it as soon as possible, you won't be able to hold it back after a while."

When the Ministry Councillor heard that, his eyes lit up. He thought for a while and then took out a jewel box from the pillar, hugging it tightly: "Let's go!"

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao's face also changed slightly. She did not say anything else and brought her men to the center of the courtyard.

It was a good thing that the courtyard was huge, and the vegetation was not so easily burnt down either. Although the entire manor was on fire, there was still a way out. She walked into the courtyard and placed another fireball in her hand.

But at this moment, she heard an angry roar from behind her, "What are you doing? Hurry up and come back!"

She turned her head and actually saw Song Chongjing, with a dark face and dressed in a drenched outer robe, standing behind her.
