C130 Flame the Noble Consort Lin's Palace!
When Noble Consort Lin went out with her clothes, Lan Qingqian ripped off all her clothes and threw them on the ground. She stepped on them and said, “You b*tch, you dare to throw me into the water? I’ll burn all of your clothes now. Let’s see if you dare to bully me!”
She took out a fire piston and tore off her clothes before throwing them into the fire.
Noble Consort Lin happened to come in. She was stunned when she saw her clothes being thrown into the fire. She was so angry that she was trembling.
“Lan Qingqian, how dare you burn my clothes! You little bastard, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Lan Qingqian casually picked up a piece of clothes and threw it into the fire. She turned around and ran around. “Who told you to throw me into the water? Don’t think I don’t know who you are. You b*tch!”
Lan Qingqian was small and agile. Noble Consort Lin couldn’t catch her. She ran around and threw another piece of clothes into the fire. She made a face and said, “Let’s see what you can do! You b*tch!”
Noble Consort Lin was so angry that she went crazy. She picked up the things on the table and threw them at Lan Qingqian. “You, you just wait! Men, catch this little bastard and teach him a lesson.”
Noble Consort Lin was so furious that she didn’t notice the porcelain bottle in her hand. She threw it at Lan Qingqian.
Lan Qingqian dodged it.
“You want to kill me? I’ll beat your teeth off!”
Both of them didn't notice that the flame had already reached the edge of the fireplace and had already touched the shattered osmanthus hair oil that Consort Lin had thrown on the ground.
The fire had started to burn…
She rushed towards Consort Lin and punched her. The delicate Consort Lin couldn't withstand it and lost a tooth. Her mouth was covered in blood.
Lan Qingqian was in the midst of punching Consort Lin, who had fallen to the ground, and wanted to teach her a lesson.
She saw the flame that had risen up and screamed in fright. She picked up Consort Lin, whose mouth was covered in blood, and ran away. "The fire has started. The fire has started. Run!"
She ran into the eunuchs and maids who had rushed over when they heard Consort Lin's voice.
When the eunuchs and maids saw that the fire was getting bigger, they turned around and shouted for help, "There's water. There's water. Someone come!"
"Water carts, water carts. Quickly find the fire soldiers!"
People came and went, carrying buckets, wooden basins, water basins, and water carts.
Lan Qingqian glanced at the fire that had engulfed half of the hall. She secretly felt that she had caused trouble. She had only wanted to burn Consort Lin's clothes and beat her up to vent her anger. For some reason, the fire had started.
Gu Jun'an was reading the secret letter. He heard someone report, "That's bad, Your Highness. Her Highness, she, she has burned Consort Lin's palace!"
Gu Jun'an couldn't sit still. "Is there anything wrong with her?"
"Her Highness is fine. She just complained to His Majesty because of Consort Lin."
Gu Jun’an sat down again. “It’s fine as long as she’s fine. Noble Consort Lin’s palace has always been vulgar. It just so happens that Your Majesty can change it for her.”
“Then, do you want to go and take a look in the palace?” After all, the Ninth Princess was still in the palace.
Gu Jun’an thought for a while. “Find San Qi to fetch her back. Tell her that it’s time for dinner in the palace. I’m afraid she won’t make it in time.”
When Lan Qingqian came back, she stood behind San Qi. She was afraid that Gu Jun’an would punish her.
“San Qi, you said you would help me plead for her.”
San Qi saw Gu Jun’an’s cold face and immediately gave in. She bowed and turned to run. “I remember that I haven’t finished my work yet. I’ll take my leave first.”
Lan Qingqian looked at San Qi who was running away quickly and frowned. “What an ungrateful guy.” She decided not to give him snacks anymore.
Gu Jun’an waved. “Come here?”
Lan Qingqian walked over slowly. “Don’t hit me. I’ll bear with it if you hit me. She was the one who broke it first. She was the one who smashed the hairbrush. That’s why the fire started. How can you say that I smashed her palace!”
She was angry. She clenched her fists and her face was full of unhappiness. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have dragged her out.”
Gu Jun’an looked at her carefully and pinched her ear. “Are you hurt?”
“No. I ran away with Noble Consort Lin when I saw the fire was big,” Lan Qingqian said.
Gu Jun’an frowned, “Do you know where you are wrong?”
Lan Qingqian said, “I shouldn’t have burned her clothes.”
“No, you shouldn’t have run away with her. You’re a nuisance!” Gu Jun’an was angry.
Lan Qingqian felt that she had misheard him and tilted her head, “Ah?”
“Next time when you’re in danger, you should run by yourself. Don’t bring these things with you!” Gu Jun’an repeated.
Lan Qingqian didn’t dare to believe it, “Don’t you blame me for burning her clothes and her palace? She wanted me to pay for her palace.”
“She’s the woman of the Emperor. The Emperor has money to repair it. I have to keep my money to feed the pigs!” Gu Jun’an patted her head, “You don’t need to worry about it. I will take care of it.”
Lan Qingqian suddenly felt better, “You’re so good, Prince Consort. You’re as good as my father.” Her father was the same. He never mistreated her and always protected her.
When Gu Jun’an entered the palace, the Emperor scolded him, “That girl you raised is becoming more and more lawless. She dared to burn the palace.”
Gu Jun’an sat down and took a sip of tea, “If we talk about karma, the woman the Emperor raised is more lawless. She dared to kill the princess of the Alliance Country and ruin the marriage between the two countries.
If Consort Lin didn’t do anything, then Little Nine would have burned her clothes. If she didn’t throw the hair oil, the fire wouldn’t have spread.
“I did ask about it. I found the bottle of osmanthus oil in the side hall. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look? All the imperial concubines use the same bottle of hair conditioner. It is easy to recognize.”
“Are you saying that the ninth princess fell into the lake because of Consort Lin? Didn’t you send someone back to say that she fell into the lake herself?”
“If Your Majesty is willing to investigate, I can give you some clues. It is one thing that I am lacking in evidence. On the other hand, if Princess Canglan fell into the lake because of Consort Xizhou, it is likely that the two kingdoms will hate each other. At that time, we were preparing for war…”
Before he finished, the Emperor waved his hand. “There is no need to say anymore!” He naturally understood the importance of the matter.
“Since I am here, I cannot come here for nothing. I should seek justice for Little Jiu. This Consort Lin should not continue to be so arrogant! Since Consort Lin thinks that the side hall is a hindrance to the view, Your Majesty, why don’t you change it to a new one?”
“Old Seventh, you are going too far. She is the Imperial Concubine. No matter what, she is still your half-sister-in-law.” Gu Jiangzhi could not help but speak about Gu Jun’an’s recklessness and tyranny.
Gu Jun’an had a faint smile in his eyes. “Heh, Imperial Concubine? Is she worthy? Your Majesty, you should ask the Empress first.”
The Empress came with the food box. “Yes, how can I not agree? It is best if I am the Empress. That way, I will be the rightful sister-in-law.” Her words were filled with anger. She put the food down and glanced at Gu Jiangzhi.
Gu Xiandao said, “Why are you saying such things?”
