After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 374 [Continued] Flooded

Hearing this, the prince was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said, "So that's what happened, but I don't remember what Miss Chu came to the mansion."

He said, turned to the palace people on the left and right, and said: "Did any of you hear that a Miss Chu came to the mansion today?"

Those palace people have been working in the prince's mansion all year round, and the prince is their master. Now that the master asks a question, they immediately knelt down and denied it all: "If you go back to your highness, I have never seen Miss Chu."

The prince pretended to be serious and said: "Really? In front of King Yong and this servant Cui, say loudly, if you dare to hide even half of it, I will make you look good!"

The palace people became more and more frightened when they heard this, and they all kowtowed tremblingly: "If you go back to Your Highness, I really haven't seen it before!"

For a moment, the faces of King Yong and Cui Yunhao were extremely ugly, while the crown prince smiled with satisfaction, and said to King Yong: "You have seen it too, but you all said no, this Miss Chu, I really have never seen it before. Brother, let’s look elsewhere, maybe she’s hanging out there.”

He stood up and said: "I have something to do today, and I have to enter the palace later, so it's not easy to entertain the two of you, come and see off."

Cui Yunhao couldn't bear it anymore, he took a step forward and said, "Wait a minute."

The prince immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at him, while King Yong stretched out his hand to block Cui Yunhao, saying: "Cui Shidu, don't be rude."

Cui Yunhao ignored him, just looked at the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Has the prince really not seen her?"

The prince was a little displeased: "Gu——"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noise coming from behind. Accompanied by the noise of people, the prince's expression changed, and he ordered a palace servant, "Go and see, what's going on?"

The palace servant immediately got up and took orders to go. At this moment, another person rushed into the hall, describing his panic, and the prince was furious: "Presumptuous! Are there any more rules!"

The man immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me, it's because the Crescent Moon Building has flooded!"

Hearing this, the prince's expression changed drastically: "How did you get out of the water?"

The man kowtowed again and again, and replied in fear, "I don't know, yes, it was burnt from inside."

"Trash!" The prince became a little anxious when he heard this, and he was about to walk out with a flick of his sleeves, not forgetting to say to King Yong: "There is something in the mansion that needs to be dealt with, it is inconvenient to keep guests, come here, and send His Highness King Yong out of the mansion."

A palace official hurried over, bowed his body, and whispered: "His Royal Highness, please."

Before King Yong could speak, Cui Yunhao who was next to her pushed her hand away and strode towards the direction where the noise came from. King Yong followed suit and said to the palace: "Your Highness is leaving the mansion. Water, this king will also go and have a look, maybe it can be of some help."

After he finished speaking, before the other party could react, he walked away, leaving the palace man standing there stunned.

Time went back to half a quarter of an hour ago, Chu Yingying was standing in the room, the door was closed, she could vaguely see the figure projected on the door, Ling Jie was still guarding there.

If she fights recklessly, she will definitely not be able to run away from the other party, and she has to find another way out. Although she just heard the report that both King Yong and Cui Yunhao have come, she doesn't think the prince will let her go because of this.

Although the crown prince and King Yong are still in harmony on the surface, they are already at odds in private, especially after the Chizhou case last time, the prince probably hated King Yong to the bone.

King Yong came to beg for someone, he would never give it, and King Yong would not really tear his face with the prince face to face for himself.

She had to find a way to save herself, she looked around the room, and her eyes fell on the bronze crane floor palace lantern in the corner.

Lamp oil is a tribute from the Southern Region, and when it is lit, it emits a faint fragrance, which lasts for a long time. It is said that one tael of lamp oil is worth a tael of gold. Such a luxury is probably only used by the Prince's Mansion in the world except for the imperial palace. worthy.

Chu Yingying reached out and used a silver hairpin to pick out the wick of the lamp, then picked up the small plate of lamp oil worth thousands of gold, and poured all of it on the silk curtain, and a strange fragrance wafted in the air.

Chu Yingying picked up a candlestick, and her hands trembled unconsciously, as if it was a subconscious move, so that the candlestick in her hand almost fell.

Seeing the time passing by, Chu Yingying looked at the door, Ling Jie was still standing there, she gritted her teeth, and squeezed the hand holding the candlestick with her other hand, trying her best to stop the trembling , the light of the flame danced gently, and slowly moved under the silk curtain, eager to try.

The moment the flame licked the light silk, Chu Yingying seemed to feel a scorching temperature sweeping across her flesh, almost burning her whole body into coke.

With a shaking of the hand, the candlestick fell to the ground with a snap, and there was a crisp sound. The fire was already burning, and in the blink of an eye, it jumped up the beam along the light silk, and the thick smoke emitted.

The door was pushed open from the outside with a slam, and Ling Jie stood there in shock. He looked at Chu Yingying and shouted loudly, "Miss Chu, come out!"

But Chu Yingying took a step back, stared at him, and then rushed into the inner room without looking back, making Jie anxious, and shouted: "Don't go in!"

But who would have thought that the more he shouted, the faster Chu Yingying ran, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the fire spread rapidly along the veil. Usually, for the sake of looking good, this room is often decorated with arty decorations. Things, silk curtains, calligraphy and paintings, and wooden multi-treasure stands. After a while, the fire ignited into one piece, and there was a tendency to burn more and more vigorously.

Ling Jie gritted his teeth, he picked up a vase casually, threw away the flower branches inside, poured water on himself, then rushed into the sea of ​​flames, and ran in the direction Chu Yingying was walking.

Unexpectedly, at the back, a gust of cold wind blows head-on, and white snow and ice edges fall from the eaves. On the flat snowy ground, only a line of tiny footprints gradually disappears in the distance.

Ling Jie immediately realized that Chu Yingying had already prepared to run away, and the back door of this building was not locked!

He stood on the porch for a while before making a decision. Ling Jie turned around and immediately shut the door, and then swept away all the footprints on the snow, and then turned to the front of the small building, shouting loudly: "Come on! The water is gone!"

Not long after, all the servants of the Hefu were alarmed, and everyone was carrying basins and buckets, and ran over to put out the fire. There was chaos, and no one noticed that a woman had slipped away from the crescent moon building. .

Chu Yingying carried her skirt and hurried forward along the garden path. She was very familiar with the layout of the Prince's Mansion. She avoided a lot of people with the cover of flowers, trees and pavilions. Finally, she hid in the fake cave In the middle, no longer walk around.

Because more and more palace people rushed over, and there was another extremely important factor that she would hide here.

From the front hall to the garden, this rockery path is the only way to go. If such a big event happened, Prince Duan Geng would definitely come to check it out, and Chu Yingying would wait here for him to pass by before daring to continue to escape.

Otherwise, if you accidentally bump into the prince who is rushing over, you will fall into the trap.

Just as Chu Yingying expected, there was a rush of footsteps, accompanied by Duan Geng's scolding: "A bunch of trash! They're so good, how could they get out of the water?"

The palace people didn't dare to make a sound, and followed him quickly to the garden.
