Chapter 115: Strange Fire from the Sky
Ye Xuanqi discovered that these secret guards all had a bag tied around their waists, and Song Yunxi had specifically instructed them not to let the contents inside see the light before arriving at Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.
"What's in it?"
"Want to know?"
Song Yunxi winked at him rather proudly and playfully: "I'll take you to see a good show tonight."
After a pause, he said, "Call Ye Xuanke as well. He likes to watch the fun."
"it is good."
Upon hearing that there was going to be a good show, Ye Xuanke came excitedly, and with him came Fang Yichen, the Major General of the Pingnan General's Mansion.
Ye Xuan Ke pulled Fang Yichen and said, "When Fourth Brother asked Zhou Feng to inform me, Yichen happened to hear it, so I brought him along to see it for himself."
He still has a good impression of Song Yunxi, the young general of Pingnan General's Mansion. In his previous life, he refused to live in disgrace and insisted on avenging the Fang family and the Pingnan Army even at the cost of everything.
Just based on this kind of bloodiness, Song Yunxi firmly believed that he would become a better general than the old General Pingnan in the future.
Song Yunxi asked them to sit down: "I'll take you to open your eyes in the evening."
While Ye Xuan Ke was complaining about why it was not dark yet, the housekeeper came to report that Zhou Churou came to visit.
After all, Zhou Churou is different from her. Song Yunxi was worried that meeting several men from other places in private would be a burden to Zhou Churou, so she asked the three men to leave in advance.
Seeing that Song Yunxi was not hit hard, Zhou Churou finally felt relieved: "Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved a little bit."
Song Yunxi was grateful in her heart: "The Imperial Master's Mansion is surrounded by people right now. What if you come here at this time and get affected?"
Fortunately, there was no one around the back door. If someone with ulterior motives found out that Zhou Churou was having contact with her, it would really get Zhou Churou into trouble.
But Zhou Churou didn't care at all: "I just wanted to see if you are okay."
Then he asked Song Yunxi firmly, "Is there anything I can do to help you? I can tell those people outside who don't know the truth that you are not an evil star and you are not possessed by any evil spirit."
Song Yunxi is obviously a lucky star who can bring luck to her and her mother and free them from despair.
"The people were just being manipulated and deceived by someone with ulterior motives. Once the truth comes out, they will naturally retreat."
Song Yunxi didn't care at all about the people besieging the Imperial Master's Mansion: "I can solve this matter quickly. You don't have to worry about me, and don't act impulsively for me. I don't want any of you to be affected."
"I do not care!"
Song Yunxi held her hand: "But I care, I care about your safety."
Ever since the news of Hui Cheng entering Wenyuan Hou's mansion to perform rituals spread, Ye Youran and Zhu Xuanheng and his wife had come to visit her, and they all sincerely wanted to help her, but she politely declined.
No matter who it is, if they stand on her side at this moment, they will only become the target of Ye Xuanrong and the Shen family.
After comforting Zhou Churou and ordering people to send her away safely from the Imperial Master's Mansion, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xuan Ke teased her: "I didn't expect that the daughter of the former prime minister cares about you so much."
Song Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Aren't you concerned about this as well? It's quite heroic to debate with the scholars in the court!"
Ye Xuanke's handsome face turned red: "I was just following Fourth Brother's arrangement! If Fourth Brother didn't want to help you, I wouldn't bother with it!"
Seeing him saying one thing and thinking another, Song Yunxi couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he was still a little brat who had not grown up.
Ye Xuanke felt that Song Yunxi was indeed different from the noble ladies in the capital. Although she was a woman, she had an unruly and free-spirited nature, as if nothing in this world could restrain her.
This reminded him of the brothers he had met in the military camp, with whom he could speak freely without any scruples.
But Ye Xuanke quickly got rid of this idea. How could he treat Song Yunxi as a man?
She also made real friends in this strange capital, and Ye Xuanqi was happy for her: "Although Miss Zhou was a little timid because of her suppressed temperament by Zhou Shidong, she is a pure, kind and grateful person."
Song Yunxi nodded in agreement: "She is actually quite frank and heroic by nature. Now that her father who always suppressed her and treated her as a bargaining chip is dead, her nature is slowly recovering."
She believed that in time, Zhou Churou would definitely achieve her life goal of becoming the richest woman.
After chatting for a while, Fang Yichen truly felt Song Yunxi's charm, and he found that he really liked her.
But this kind of liking has nothing to do with love between men and women. It is a kind of appreciation and an urgent desire to become friends with her.
He always felt that Song Yunxi was a friend who could understand all his ambitions and who could put aside the red tape of so-called gender separation and drink and chat with him.
The four of them chatted together, and they also listened to Song Yunxi talk about many interesting things during their time at Shengyun Mountain.
Some robbed bird nests, some burned down the library because they didn't want to study, some angered the male disciples so much that they burst into tears, and some secretly cut the elder's beard and were punished to face the wall...
These things seemed to bring their memories back to their childhood. They were once as naive and playful as she was. However, as they grew older, they all had their own responsibilities to bear, and things they had to be cautious and unprepared for, and gradually they changed.
The time was up as she sighed and lamented. Song Yunxi picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp: "Let's go. I'll take you guys to have some fun!"
Late at night, the sky suddenly became as bright as day, attracting many people who were already asleep to get up and go out to check. They saw flashes of fire suddenly falling from the quiet and deep night sky, and all these fires were tacitly heading towards the direction of Wenyuan Hou's Mansion.
So, in the dead of night, the strange fire that fell from the sky would surround the entire Wenyuanhou Mansion with flames, and the eyes of the entire capital were focused on the Wenyuanhou Mansion that was ablaze that night.
Emperor Qinglong in the palace was so excited about the fire that he walked around barefoot in the palace: "It's what they deserved. They plotted against Xi girl, and now they are being punished by heaven!"
Eunuch Sun naturally understood what Emperor Qinglong liked to hear at this time, so he smiled and agreed: "In my opinion, Your Majesty is worrying too much. The eldest lady is a blessed person no matter how you look at it. She will definitely be protected by God. Those calculations and harms will not be able to do anything to her."
Emperor Qinglong was delighted when he heard this: "You are right, Xi girl is a blessed girl, and is protected by God!"
He couldn't wait for tomorrow's morning court session. He wanted to see how embarrassed Song Shaozhang was, and the faces of those ministers who supported Lao Liu and the Shen family and clamored for the execution of Xi girl.
There was chaos in Wenyuanhou's mansion overnight. They couldn't understand why the evil star was clearly in the Imperial Master's Mansion, but the sky fire fell in their mansion.
Song Zheyang, who was always calm and composed, noticed something unusual. The fire from the sky seemed to have eyes and avoided their living quarters, giving everyone enough time to escape. However, the entire Wenyuan Marquis Mansion was burned into ruins.
