Chapter 277 The whereabouts of the Crown Prince

At night, a unique layer of black coldness enveloped the sky and the earth. The chirping of insects stopped for a while, and the moon disappeared. The huge imperial city became quiet and well-behaved like a giant beast gradually sleeping.

Lin Shuran was sitting alone in the room. She was originally waiting for Xu Junze to return, but just now Xu Junze sent someone to send a message that he had important matters to deal with in the military camp tonight and he might not be able to return to the mansion. He asked Lin Shuran to go to bed early and rest.

I thought it was just countless ordinary nights, but didn’t I know that as the hour passed, shadows floated, and the sleeping people did not know that the killing was under the black shroud, smelling of blood, and everything seemed to be going on quietly.

It was not until the Huaxiang Tower burst into flames that soared into the sky, and countless panic-stricken pleasure seekers and mortal ladies rushed out of the fire, that the people who were still in their dreams were awakened.

Lin Shuran's sleep quality has become better since she became pregnant. She fell asleep all night and didn't know what was going on outside. It wasn't until she woke up the next day that she learned from the mouth of maid Chunxi that there was a fire in Huaxiang Building last night. Not only people died, but Huaxiang also died.

The building was also in ruins.

"There was a fire in the brothel? Can you tell me what caused it?" Lin Shuran asked Chunxi curiously after getting up and washing up.

Chunxi shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but I heard from the woman who was out shopping that some customer or prostitute accidentally knocked over the candle. It's just that the fire was too strong. If it weren't for the night patrol,

The officials in that street were implicated and all the houses in that street were set on fire. Fortunately, only the Huaxiang Building was burned down."

"Really?" Lin Shuran groaned. The power of a small candle was so powerful, but she didn't think much about it. After breakfast, she started to move around in the courtyard.

At about the end of Chenshi, Chen Jiayu, the crown prince and concubine of Prince Chun, paid a sudden visit. Seeing her arrival, Lin Shuran felt strange and asked her to sit down in the reception hall.

"Sister Chen, you are also pregnant. If you can't let the servants come and report something, why bother to go there in person?" When the two sat down in the hall, Lin Shuran saw a rare emotion on Chen Jiayu's face.

Anxiety flashed through me, thinking that she must have come to the door because of something.

Sure enough, Chen Jiayu stroked her still flat belly and said helplessly: "Sister Shu Ran, I didn't plan to make this trip, but my princess and mother-in-law are really difficult to deal with. The prince didn't come home last night.

Normally, the palace would not have searched where he went, but a fire broke out in Huaxiang Tower at night. After asking the prince's personal attendant, I found out that he secretly ran away to Huaxiang Tower last night and has not returned home yet."

Lin Shuran could tell that Chen Jiayu still cared about Prince Chun, but was heartbroken by his affection. Chen Jiayu was now pregnant. No matter how bad her husband was, he was still the father of the unborn child in her belly, and she didn't miss her.

The child is not loved by his father.

Lin Shuran knew that several people had been killed in the fire at Huaxiang Tower last night. Chen Jiayu was probably worried that Prince Chun was among the dead, so he comforted her and said: "Sister Chen, please don't worry. Huaxiang Tower, Jingcheng Mansion or something else."

Is there anyone who can go and explore the place? Maybe the prince just went somewhere else and hasn't returned home yet."

Chen Jiayu's eyes showed indifference and said: "My princess and mother-in-law have already found out clearly that he did go to Huaxianglou last night, but Bai Shuangshuang was invited by General Lu Da, who was stationed in southern Xinjiang and had just returned to the capital, so he stayed there

He didn't come out of Huaxianglou. Later, when there was a fire, the Dragon Armor Guards came to put out the fire and rescued many people. The Dragon Armor Guards had strict rules and no one else could get any information from them, so the mother-in-law

You ordered me to come to you and see if I can find out the whereabouts of the prince."

"Sister Chen, don't worry, I'll find a way to help you find out!" Lin Shuran didn't refuse after learning Chen Jiayu's purpose of coming. After all, Xu Junze was the supreme commander of the Longjia Guard, and he was just asking about the rescue situation last night.

It shouldn't be difficult to do.

She asked Chen Jiayu to sit for a while, then got up and asked someone to find Uncle Chu. Although Xu Junze did not come back last night, Uncle Chu was in the mansion. After receiving Lin Shuran's instructions, Uncle Chu left the mansion and was half gone.

He came back soon.

Lin Shuran invited Chen Jiayu to the garden to chat and sit down. As soon as Uncle Chu came back, he came to tell them personally that Longjia Guard did rescue Prince Chun from Huaxiang Tower last night, but he did not let Longjia Guard rescue him.

He sent him back to the palace, but instead sent him outside the residence where General Lu was temporarily staying. After that, the Longjia Guard left.

Hearing what Uncle Chu said, even the last trace of worried expression disappeared from Chen Jiayu's face. Her eyes were filled with complete despair and indifference. She slowly lowered her head and stroked her belly again. Lin Shuran signaled Uncle Chu to go down first, feeling very distressed.

Looking at Chen Jiayu, after all, she and the Crown Prince once fell in love, and now Prince Chun has done this for a girl from a brothel. How can it not be disappointing?

"Sister Chen -" Lin Shuran hesitated. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort Chen Jiayu. Her husband, who had escaped from death, was obsessed with another woman. This would be embarrassing and unbearable for any wife.

Yes.

Chen Jiayu raised her head and turned to Lin Shuran. With a faint smile, she said: "I'm fine. It seems that he is either at General Lu's Mansion or has gone elsewhere. Thank you for your trouble, sister. I will go back and report this news right away."

Tell the princess!"

Looking at Chen Jiayu, who was pretending to be strong and indifferent, Lin Shuran also smiled back. Whose pot has no ashes at the bottom? She knows herself well, and others may not be able to understand it at all, but as a friend, she still hopes to give her help when she is sad.

strength.

"Sister Chen, nothing is more important than you and the child in your belly right now. If you need any help, you can come to me. After a while, all the fruits and vegetables grown in my farm can be eaten. When the time comes, I will give you

You send some." Lin Shuran stepped forward and held Chen Jiayu's hand. When there is no man to rely on, a woman must be strong.

Chen Jiayu also held Lin Shuran's hand. In this world, only women understand women best. She nodded, and then left the General's Mansion with the help of her close maid and nanny.

I heard that the crown prince of Prince Chun was indeed in the residence of General Lu Da. That night, he was sent to the front door of General Lu Da's residence by Long Jiawei. He was also invited into the residence by General Lu Da for a drink, until people from Prince Chun's residence came to the door.

He was still sleeping soundly in the General's Mansion.

Next, Xu Junze seemed very busy for several days, but he would still spare an hour every day to go home to meet with Lin Shuran, and then leave in a hurry. Although Xu Junze did not tell her what happened, she still learned from Mei

I know, but I didn’t expect that on the night of the fire at Huaxiang Tower, Wei Xiong, the eldest son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Duan Yunhao, the eldest son of the Xia Kingdom, were missing at the same time.
