Qingi hesitated for a mont.
She still said, "I have spoken, don’t worry, Princess."
"When you were lost, the Emperor sent Marquis Wan to find you, and the Marquis almost mobilized all the Xiu Luo Envoys."
"As a result, so miscreants took advantage of this ti to sneak into the Xiuluo Guard and set it on fire!"
"Chu Ping happened to be in the Xiuluo Guard and got injured unintentionally while catching the culprit."
Bai Zhi’er imdiately jumped off the bed, her little voice anxious, "Is it serious?"
Qingi saw the Princess without shoes, worried she’d get her little feet cold, hurriedly scooped her back onto the bed.
"Princess, I’ve said it, don’t be anxious! I’m not finished yet."
"Luckily it was discovered in ti, those arsonists were all captured, Chu Ping did suffer so injuries."
"After the Marquis sent you back, he went promptly to deal with these matters."
"Now that the interrogation is done, I heard it was Master Wei who did it!"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big round eyes, "Master Wei?"
Qingi nodded, "Minister of Public Works Wei Caijie, the Princess knows him, the one who killed his son in court!"
Upon hearing this, the little girl imdiately rembered.
"It was that big baddie! He actually instructed people to burn Brother Ce’s house!" Bai Zhi’er was angry.
Qingi hesitated slightly at the word "house."
It seed the Princess had so misunderstanding about the Marquis.
Although Marquis Wan stayed at the Xiuluo Guard daily,
his mansion was the largest residence in the capital, besides the imperial palace, situated right in the middle of the city street.
Bai Zhi’er stepped off the bed again and put on her tiny shoes, "Sister Qingi, let’s go together to check it out!"
Qingi hurriedly asked, "Princess, please rest a bit more. The Emperor has just ordered the Ministry of Justice to arrest Master Wei, and the Xiuluo Guard just caught fire, it might be chaotic now."
The little girl insisted, "Then all the more reason to go, we can’t always let Brother Ce help us while he faces trouble, and we don’t care for him, don’t you agree?"
Qingi was startled.
She actually felt the Princess’s words made so sense.
She imdiately said, "I will accompany the Princess, let get your clothes ready."
In the Xiuluo Guard.
All the Xiu Luo Envoys were busy coming and going, cleaning out the burned ashes and moving undamaged docunts to the courtyard.
The side hall was the most severely burned, almost completely destroyed.
Also, the backyard, which was the initial fire location, had half of the wall turned black.
Feng Fuce paced in the prison, his expression still cold.
It seed the fire at the Xiuluo Guard had no impact on him.
"Marquis, the trees in the backyard burned black have been wrapped up with fabric as per your orders," Lei Hu hurriedly said.
Feng Fuce then turned his gaze, "There are two completely ruined, rember to dig out the roots."
Lei Hu nodded, "Already had them carried out."
Just then, the sounds of Xiu Luo Envoys greeting at the door were heard —
"Greetings, Princess."
Feng Fuce’s brows suddenly furrowed.
The little rascal coming at this ti, isn’t she just going to see the two burned-out Ju Zi trees being carried out?
Feng Fuce imdiately strode out, moving very swiftly.
Bai Zhi’er was standing at the gate, smiling and chatting with the two Xiu Luo Envoys carrying the tree trunks.
The little girl looked up with her round, black eyes at the charred tree trunks.
"Brothers, did these trees also die from the fire?"
The Xiu Luo Envoy nodded, "The Marquis instructed us to..."
"Bai Zhi’er!" Feng Fuce’s cold voice ca, directly interrupting their words.
