Chapter 123 The Prince is Guilty
The slender fingers pulled out from Wei Qingye's palm, and he took the opportunity to hug her in his arms, "Zhizhi, what's wrong?"

Nan Zhiyu leaned on his warm chest like a lazy cat, muttering softly, "Your Highness, why are you getting angry with these servants? I opened the window. It's really boring to be locked up in the room all day."

Wei Qingye held her on the beauty couch and patted her head lovingly. "I originally planned to take Zhizhi to the Beijing suburbs to soak in the hot springs during the New Year, but your body is not suitable for going out. When the weather warms up in the spring, I will take you there, okay?"

Because she couldn't leave the palace, Nan Zhiyu was too lazy to even comb her hair. She just tied it up with a long hairpin.

Nan Zhiyu fluttered her eyelashes, grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Is she still alive?"

The prince played with her black hair and responded, "How could I let her die so easily?"

Wei Qingye has never been a kind-hearted person. He is the Crown Prince, second only to the emperor in the entire Southern Qin Dynasty. He is good at playing power games and has many ways to make people live a life worse than death.

Nan Zhiyu nodded gently, "Well, we can't let her die like this."

The best way to torture Nan Mingzhu is not to let her die in pain, but to let her watch with her own eyes everything she cares about collapse like a high-rise building and turn to ashes.

She has never been a good person, and she would never allow a weird person like Nan Mingzhu to talk nonsense, so she inevitably had to suffer the pain of having her tongue pulled out.

Wei Qingye lifted her chin lightly, his voice quite helpless, "Nan Jiaojiao, don't be so soft-hearted in the future, otherwise the enemy will turn your kindness into a sharp blade and stab you fiercely."

Nan Zhiyu knew what the prince was talking about. She raised her eyes to meet his deep phoenix eyes and asked, "Your Highness, do you want me to become as cruel and ruthless as the other women in the harem?"

The prince shook his head, "No, I hope you can protect yourself at all times..."

Before he could finish his words, Chai Hui rushed in, "Your Highness, there's a fire in Ming Zhaoyi's Hexiang Garden!"

Wei Qingye was startled. He subconsciously stood up and took two steps outside. Then he thought of something and turned back, saying, "I'll be back soon."

Nan Zhiyu raised her hand to touch the tassel in his hair, and then she retracted her fingertips with a slight curl.

Seeing her young master's hesitation to speak, Qing Dai comforted her, "Master, His Highness is just... thinking of our old friendship."

Nan Zhiyu also wanted to see to what extent the Crown Prince would remember their old friendship with Ming Zhaoyi.

"Qingdai is dressing me up. Ming Zhaoyi is in trouble, so I should go there."

Nan Zhiyu was wearing a scarlet brocade rose skirt with a white tiger cloak on the outside. Her tasseled hair was adorned with a simple hairpin, but the beads on her hair were made of red agate and were absolutely precious.

She looked at her outfit with satisfaction and said, "Let's go."

Outside the palace gate, Xiao Guizi and others knelt on the ground, "Yue Liang Di, if His Highness knew, he would kill us servants."

"Please stop, Yue Liangdi!"

Nan Zhiyu took out a dragon-patterned sheep-fat pendant from the sachet on her waist and said, "When His Highness wants to settle accounts with you later, give this to him and say that I forced you to do it."

Xiao Guizi caught the jade pendant in a panic, and after looking at it carefully, he felt like the sky was falling!

He quickly placed it on the table in the hall and then led his men to chase after it.

The fire in Hexiang Garden was raging, with flames burning fiercely and accompanied by billowing green smoke, which frightened the palace maids and eunuchs to scream.

Inside the house, Ming Xiaoyan quietly felt the scorching heat in the air, but with a brilliant smile on his face, "Your Highness, I'm betting my life that you will come to save me."

There was a crazy smile in the beauty's eyes. She picked up the candlestick on the table and gently lit the curtain that was fluttering in the wind.

The fire began to spread inside the house along the flammable curtains. Ming Xiaoyan vaguely saw the figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince running towards him through the half-open window.

Looking at the burning flames, Ming Xiaoyan's eyes were cold, "If Your Highness wants to completely destroy the Ming family, it depends on whether I agree or not!" The Ming family is the most handy knife for Your Highness to use, and it is pointed directly at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Within three months, the Prime Minister will be held accountable and overthrown. By then, all the aristocratic families will point their spearheads at the Ming family.

The prince would just stand by and watch as the Ming family was torn to pieces.

She used the last bit of kindness from His Highness to find a way out for the Ming family.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked quickly to check the fire in Hexiang Garden, "Why did the fire suddenly start?"

Chai Hui replied hastily, "It was the palace servant in the small kitchen who was lazy and dozed off, causing the unextinguished charcoal fire to catch fire."

The fire came too strangely. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets hurt here, they, the servants, can report to the King of Hell directly.

"Have all the people in Hexiangyuan evacuated?" Wei Qingye frowned, looking at the fire that was being blown even more fiercely by the wind.

The young palace maid who had just escaped from the fire pointed at the main hall and shouted, "Ming Zhaoyi is still in there, hurry up and save her!"

Ming Xiaoyan was lying on his stomach five or six steps away from the door. The raging fire behind him was devouring the beams of the house, making a terrifying sound. He could vaguely hear pieces of wood falling from above, and it looked very dangerous.

The prince stared straight ahead, looking at Ming Xiaoyan who was lying on the ground unable to move.

She tried hard to raise her head and looked at him, with a resolute and sad smile on her lips.

Seeing the prince's expression suddenly change, Chai Hui was so frightened that he quickly reached out to stop him, "Your Highness, you are a precious person, you must not put yourself in danger!"

Wei Qingye felt a headache listening to his ghostly howling. He kicked him on the calf and asked, "Who said I have to go there in person?"

He looked away and then clapped his hands.

Shu Yan appeared from the darkness, "What do you want, Your Highness?"

"Go and rescue Concubine Ming." The prince's voice was calm, and it was impossible to tell the emotion in it.

Shu Yan wet the bed sheet recklessly, poured a bucket of water on himself, and rushed directly into the fire.

Ming Zhaoyi, who was lying on the ground, had not yet said a word when she was covered with a wet sheet and carried out.

Shu Yan put the person on the ground, lifted the bed sheet, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the person has been rescued!"

Wei Qingye nodded, "This month's salary will be doubled."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shu Yan smiled with his eyes curved, and disappeared into the night.

Ming Xiaoyan deliberately sprained her ankle. She swayed and grabbed the prince's sleeve, crying slightly as she said, "Your Highness, do you really want me to die in the fire?"

The prince took off his cloak, put it on her, and said in a cold voice: "You will not be buried in the fire, so just stand here."

Ming Zhaoyi noticed that His Highness did not answer her question directly, and she felt a little flustered. She wanted to ask something else, but the sound of footsteps behind her interrupted her.

The Crown Princess looked at the fire all over the sky, hurriedly walked to the Crown Prince, and looked at him carefully: "Is your Highness injured?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Wei Qingye turned around and glanced at the concubines. When he didn't see any familiar figures, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
