"It's not good, it's on fire!"
"On fire?!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the manor is on fire again!"
The shouts instantly drew Zhan Ming's attention.
Zhan Ming looked in the direction of the flames. The fire was in the courtyard where he usually rested and slept!
This act, while seemingly arson, was actually a challenge to him!
Despicable!
He glanced down at the dying Lu Hao and ordered someone beside him, "Take him away and lock him up!"
After giving the order, he immediately strode away.
He wanted to see who dared to set the fire!
"Has the arsonist been caught?" he asked as he walked.
The servants looked confused. No one saw who set the fire.
The fire seemed to fall from the sky, spreading like a prairie fire, just like not long ago!
In a short period, the Regent's manor had caught fire twice for no reason. For a time, while fighting the fire, the servants of the Regent's manor began to mutter.
Had the Regent angered heaven?
The entire manor was in chaos.
The sounds of firefighting filled the air.
Two servants dragged the limp and weak Lu Hao, who was like a pile of mud, to the woodshed.
Just as they threw Lu Hao onto a pile of straw, they suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of their necks. Before they could react to what had happened, they collapsed!
With a thud.
Lu Hao, hearing the sound, could barely open his heavy eyelids. Through the faint moonlight, he saw the person standing at the door.
The woman at the door was slender. She looked so fragile, yet at this moment, he felt tears welling up in his eyes again, tears flowing uncontrollably. Because he had cried so loudly earlier, his throat was hoarse to the extreme.
"Master... you're finally here."
Yun Shu looked at Lu Hao crying with snot and tears, and said with a little disdain, "Stop crying for now, you won't die."
Just now, when she heard his pig-like screams, a thought flashed through her mind: he can cry so much, why not just not save him?
Lu Hao raised his weak arm and showed his mangled hands to Yun Shu, looking extremely wronged, as wronged as he could be, "My hands were stomped and broken, Master, my rice bowl was smashed!"
And it hurt!
Although now it was numb from the pain, the pain when it was broken earlier still made his scalp tingle when he thought about it.
Yun Shu walked in and glanced at Lu Hao's hands. "If you delay any longer, your hands will be useless from now on."
Hearing this, a ray of light flashed in Lu Hao's eyes, as if he saw hope. "Can Master heal my hands?"
Master is indeed a divine doctor!
She just glanced at his hands and looked so confident.
Yun Shu didn't bother to respond to Lu Hao and took out a pill, putting it into Lu Hao's mouth.
Lu Hao was just about to speak when he was stuffed, and he swallowed the pill in one gulp. He didn't even have time to spit it out. He was terrified, "Master, I didn't say anything, you're not going to silence me, are you? I'm so wronged."
"Shut up." Yun Shu suddenly regretted it. Why didn't she just throw Lu Hao here now?
He talked too much.
She suddenly felt that among the people she had known in recent years, apart from Ji Rong being normal, talking neither too much nor too little, everyone else either talked too much or too little.
Lu Hao, who was already half-dead from his injuries, was still chattering incessantly.
Lu Hao was about to say more when he suddenly widened his eyes again, "I have strength! And it doesn't hurt as much anymore! It's too magical! Master, your medical skills are truly divine. What medicine did you just give me? How can it be so effective?"
It wasn't that he was ignorant like a bumpkin, but he had never seen such a miraculous medicine.
He knew how serious his injuries were himself, so he was truly shocked by his Master!
"If you talk again, I'll throw you to the Regent," Yun Shu threatened speechlessly.
Lu Hao immediately shut his mouth, his expression became obedient, and he nodded vigorously.
Next, something even more shocking happened to Lu Hao.
She once again made him admire her to the point of prostrating himself!
He couldn't imagine how powerful her Qinggong was, to be able to carry him over the wall that he couldn't climb no matter how hard he tried!
It was so effortless!
It wasn't until they got into a carriage that Lu Hao closed his eyes and fainted with relief.
Jing Heng saw the heavily injured Lu Hao and asked Yun Shu while driving the carriage, "Master, is he close to death? Shall I find a place to dispose of the body?"
"No need, he won't die," Yun Shu replied indifferently, yawning and glancing at the distant Regent's manor.
The flames seemed to illuminate half the sky.
The houses in the Regent's manor that had been burned before were still being repaired. Today, she had burned down another large area of houses. It would probably be uninhabitable in the future.
Consider it a gift from her to Zhan Ming!
A carriage quickly disappeared into the street.
Finally, the entire road became quiet.
When someone discovered the two unconscious servants, they were shocked to find Lu Hao missing and immediately reported it to Zhan Ming in a panic.
Zhan Ming's face was already gloomy looking at the sky full of flames. When he heard the servant say that Lu Hao had disappeared, his face turned even paler, "So the arson was to save Lu Hao! I underestimated Lu Hao, he has someone behind him!"
"Search! Turn the capital upside down to find him!"
The servant immediately agreed.
"Your Highness, the fire is too big. Pouring water to extinguish it can't keep up with the speed of the fire!"
The servant was shocked by the raging fire.
The fire was too big!
It was no less than the last time!
"Continue to extinguish the fire," Zhan Ming commanded with a gloomy face.
After dawn.
The fire was extinguished.
But the entire house had collapsed.
There was smoke everywhere in the Regent's manor, and it was a mess.
The servants, who had been fighting the fire all night, were already exhausted and out of breath.
Zhan Ming stood there, emanating an extremely fierce aura, "Investigate! You must find out as soon as possible who set the fire repeatedly! This person actually knows Lu Hao!"
...
When the scout delivered the news to Zhan Tianye,
Zhan Tianye was reading in his study.
He merely glanced at the scout, "Continue to monitor every move of the Regent."
"Yes."
After the scout left, Qiu Lu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we have just found some information regarding Ji Rong."
Hearing this, Zhan Tianye put down the book in his hand and raised his cold eyes, "Speak."
"Ji Rong is the second young master of the Ji family, and the most talented fortune teller of the Ji family generation. The Ji family has a high status in the martial arts world. Regardless of whether they are prominent families or martial artists, they all highly respect Ji Rong's family. If it weren't for an accident a few years ago where he lost an arm, he would be the patriarch of the Ji family now. However, according to investigations, Ji Rong has a fiancée, a marriage arranged since childhood. But for some reason, Ji Rong has been delaying proposing." Qiu Lu reported.
After speaking, he carefully observed the Prince's expression. The reason why Ji Rong was delaying the proposal was, upon slight consideration, obvious. It must be because of the second young lady Yun!
