"Why is this fire so big?!"

The Taifu Residence was the residence of the emperor's tutor. The size of the place could be imagined, as long as there was a fire in one place, there would definitely be people who would know, so the fire wouldn't spread to such a big place.

Unless every room was on fire, and every courtyard was on fire. If that was the case, then it wouldn't be accidental fire, but rather, the fire of a person ?

She had previously discovered in the Prince Jing's Mansion that every place there was fireproof wood. Even if there was a fire, it wouldn't spread so fast.

The Prince Jing's Mansion 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 Ruoqing squinted his eyes as if he had thought of something. The corner of his mouth curled up and a strange smile appeared in the depths of his eyes.

It looked like the honored tutor had provoked some sort of enemy. This fire wasn't that simple.

At this time, a commotion broke out at the Taifu Residence's door.

A few guards, their faces tainted by the black smoke, carried out two corpses that had been burnt beyond recognition.

"Your Highness, General Tong, we've found the Imperial Tutor and Madam."

The moment the girl, who was held tightly by Yan Shuo, heard this voice, she mustered her 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?"

"Your Highness, these two corpses were found in the Imperial 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 Ruoqing, 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 Ruoqing had dozed off the whole night, regretting that he had shamelessly pestered Yan Yuan to join in on the fun.

That night, other than seeing the Tutor Yun's daughter crying like she was on death's door, she also saw the charred corpses of the servants being carried out of the Taifu Residence.

Sigh, just how many families have been burnt.

Liu Ruoqing felt that it was a bit pitiful, but in his heart, he 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 Ruoqing returned to the Prince Jing's Mansion to rest, and slept through the night.

East Garden ?

"Princess, please wake up. Princess, the Emperor is here, please wake up."

Xiao Yue's voice kept ringing beside Liu Ruoqing'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 really a princess, with Xiao Yue's intelligence, he wouldn't be able to live past the first episode before he was executed.

"No, Princess, the Emperor is looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Liu Ruoqing's originally drowsy eyes instantly brightened up. She suddenly woke up and sat up on the bed.

"Why is the Emperor Nephew looking for me?"

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 Prince Jing's Mansion to meet her?

Liu Ruoqing's eyes suddenly lit up, "It seems, little Kaiser has something to ask of me."

At the same time, she had always wanted to make the Emperor Nephew her future powerful backer. This time, not to mention what reason the Kaiser had for finding her, if she were to help him this time, the Kaiser would owe her a favor. In the future, she would be able to curry favor with the Kaiser.

With that in mind, she immediately got off the bed. Xiao Yue had already finished washing her face, so she casually washed her face and combed her messy hair. Then, she put on her clothes and left East Garden.

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Yan Shuo sitting in the center with a worried look on her 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?

Impossible, right?

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."

"Your majesty, 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 Ruoqing teased, but when he saw her sloppy appearance, he could not help but blurt out: "Can you sit and talk to me?"

She crossed her legs and shook her legs non-stop. In which way did she look like a princess, she was clearly a playful and disrespectful ruffian.

Liu Ruoqing lazily rolled his 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.
