The bright moon hangs high, the night is ink, and the festive Liang Dynasty Palace is even more lively at midnight. The firelight of the East Palace, separated from the Hechuan Palace, soars into the sky. Hanliang Palace is completely engulfed by the flames. The red and bright fire snatched the protagonist of tonight, Hechuan Palace, and successfully attracted the attention of the palace to themselves. In the windless night, the flames kept jumping up, like a group of children standing on the roof to compare with each other who jumped higher. The palace people frantically fetched water from Jingye Pool, pouring buckets into the East Palace one by one, and a drop in the bucket.

As the heat wave was scorching, Xiru regained some intuition. She wanted to open her eyes hard, but her eyelids were really heavy. The cold autumn night felt warm. Her hand seemed to be held by someone, as if she had fallen into a dream. Xiru finally opened her eyes hard. She saw the prince holding her hand tightly. The prince slowly approached and took off the cloak on her body and put it on her. At this moment, the cold and desolate surroundings suddenly changed the season and the grass became green, and the birds were singing and the fragrance of flowers.

"Your Highness?"

The prince kissed her lips. Xiru was nervous and excited, and her body trembled a little. She couldn't remember when she kissed her last time. Although the prince had always respected her, since she entered the Eastern Palace, the prince obviously spent more time on those younger women, and she only had the title of Princess.

"Xiru, it is my greatest happiness to marry you in this life; Xiru, forgive my cowardice, forgive my selfishness and ambition; Xiru, how great would it be if we were ordinary people? Xiru, if there was a next life, would you still be willing to marry me?" Xiao Yunyi in front of him was no longer the prince of the Liang Dynasty, but her husband alone.

For some reason, Xiru's tears began to overflow. Xiao Yunyi gently wiped her away, looking at her brightly. The clearness of these eyes made Xiru feel back to the young man who had first met the prince ten years ago, with fluttering clothes and full of heroic spirit.

"Yes! I do!"

Xiao Yunyi smiled, laughing very happily and cheerfully. He cheered and took her hand and ran on the endless grass. Although he felt his body getting hotter and hot, he was sweating more and more, when he looked at him, Xiru felt that nothing else was important.

Xiru, who was lying in the main hall of the East Palace, raised her lips and her expression stretched. Her hands were held with the prince's hand. The fire broke the beam and fell down to collapse the palace gate, blocking their last life. But Xiru no longer cared. She ran to her new life with a smile, at least she believed so firmly.

"Fourth Brother!" King Ling ran to King Yu with a look of surprise and suspicion. When he saw Princess Yan Li's body, he was stunned for a moment, "Fourth Brother?"

King Yu stood up and ignored him. Through the opened palace gate, he saw the sky-storming fire not far away. He knew that it was the East Palace. Two accidents came one after another in a short period of time. Even King Yu, who was used to life and death on the battlefield, could not help but be overwhelmed. He looked at it for a while and then recalled the little things from the blank.

"It's too late to explain! Don't touch her body, she's taken poison! Don't destroy the scene, follow me to the East Palace immediately!" King Yu came to his senses, pulled King Ling out of the palace gate and closed it tightly. He must first ensure the safety of the prince.

The fire in the East Palace also disturbed Emperor Liang. With the help of Concubine Jingjia, he rushed to the scene in a hurry. He saw his other two sons, saw the fire that was no longer possible to control, and saw the panic-tempered palace servants. Although Emperor Liang had been asking for the best efforts to put out the fire, manpower could not change his destiny. The fire burned until dawn to turn the Eastern Palace into a pile of rubble.

Han Ruxun personally led the Imperial Guards into the scene and spent nearly an hour to find two burnt corpses that were burnt without recognition. When Emperor Liang saw the corpse, he immediately cried bitterly, which made Concubine Jingjia and the palace people wailed. King Yu walked into the corpse, squatted down to check, and found a ball of dragon jade pendant on one of the corpses, which was the symbol of the crown prince; and the wrist of the other corpse was found, which belonged to the Future Queen of Daliang.

"Yun Yi! My Yi'er!" Emperor Liang shouted sadly. The followers knelt on the ground and did not get up. Concubine Jingjia tried her best to make herself look sad. She cared more about the emperor's body. King Ling was also very sad, but King Yu did not see even a single tear on his face. The palace people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, but they cried more about themselves. Their dereliction of duty may bring disaster to the extermination of the clan.

King Ling sobbed for a while, suddenly remembered and reported immediately: "Father, Father, Princess Yan Li is dead!" This sentence was like the last straw that crushed the camel. Emperor Liang stared at his scarlet eyes and was stunned for a while in disbelief, then fainted in the arms of Concubine Jingjia as if she was exhausted.

"Your Majesty! Come and send Your Majesty back to the palace! Come and pass on the imperial physician!" Concubine Jingjia's sharp shouts hurt King Yu's ears. The palace people hugged Emperor Liang and headed towards Zhanghan Palace, leaving behind the rubble East Palace and its former master.

"Your Highness of King Yu?" Han Ruxun did not leave with the large army. He knew very well that this place could not be ignored, so he asked King Yu for instructions.

After a night of trouble, King Yu lost his sleepiness. Princess Tang's death was inseparable from the relationship. There was an equally difficult case in front of him. He could have left, but he couldn't bear it when he looked at the corpses on the ground. Even though the eldest brother was cowardly and selfish, at least the relationship between the two brothers was still good. After all, it was a brother. Seeing that the prince of the Liang Dynasty had ended in such a situation, King Yu sighed and felt that he had no choice at this time.

"Chain the East Palace immediately, and no idle people are allowed to enter! Immediately spread the news about King Xiang, and at the same time, the Inspectorate Xu Kuang and Lin Kun from Dali Temple enter the palace! All the palace servants in the East Palace are under house arrest and no one is allowed to leave!" King Yu gritted his teeth and still took on this trouble.

"Yes!" Han Ruxun was about to take the order and leave.

"Wait! You block the Hechuan Palace immediately! And... I'll send a message to Captain Xuan and let him enter the palace immediately!" King Yu hurriedly added.

Just after Chen Shi, King Xiang, the Inspector Censor Xu Kuang, and the Dali Temple Minister Lin Kun rushed to the East Palace, and Xuan Shaoning followed everyone. The glorious East Palace, which was originally standing on the banks of Jingye Lake, was only ruined walls and black scorched earth. Slices of white smoke still curled out of the rubble. Some hidden places still had sparks of sparks. Two burnt corpses were parked in front of the East Palace. When they saw this scene that seemed like hell on earth, the people were shocked. King Xiang walked up to the body with a pale face, looked at King Yu in disbelief, and asked tremblingly: "Is this... the emperor's brother... and the emperor's sister-in-law?"

King Yu nodded, King Xiang immediately lost his soul, his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground, "How? How can I confirm it?"

King Yu squatted down and pointed at the jade pendant and bracelet. King Xiang's tears flowed in an instant, "Brother...what is the matter? Didn't your wedding night last night? Why did the East Palace catch fire? Does the father know?"

King Yu didn't care much about King Xiang's performance. Whether it was acting or true love, he did not plan to play a human tragedy with his fifth brother to lose his relatives. What he cared more about was the facts. "Fifth brother, don't be too sad for now. The father already knew that he fainted from sorrow. At this moment, he was taken care of by Concubine Jingjia in Zhanghan Palace, and his seventh brother was also there."

"Are your father okay?" King Xiang performed anxious and concerned in his grief. In his eyes, it was indeed human nature. The image of a brother who lost his elder and missed his father was vividly displayed on the paper.

"The father will not be a problem. Now our first priority is to find out whether the fire was accidental or artificial!"

"Fourth brother, do you suspect someone deliberately set fire?"

"I'll know if it was intentional to set fire!" King Yu looked at Xu Kuang and Lin Kun and said, "There was a fire in the prince's uterus. Such a big matter must be investigated clearly! Why is there not even a palace servant in the huge East Palace? Only the prince and the princess were burned to death in such a big fire, but the body of the palace servant could not be found. The palace servants in the East Palace must be strictly interrogated!"

"I must do my best!" Xu Kuang and Lin Kun immediately made a statement.

"There is another thing." King Yu paused. "Princess Yan Li was killed in Hechuan Palace. The two adults must also investigate clearly. Her identity is doubtful!"

"Fourth Brother!" King Xiang stood up and asked in confusion: "Last night was the wedding night of the fourth brother and Princess Yan Li. How... how... how... the princess is..."

"She is good at it and has been fighting with me for a long time. She thought she wanted to assassinate me, but she didn't expect that she committed suicide by taking poison. Everything happened too quickly, and I didn't understand the truth. Both cases are related to the foundation of the country. We must find out as soon as possible and give the court and the Tang Dynasty an explanation!"

Xuan Shaoning didn't know whether the two adults understood it, but he was clear about Princess Tang. The key at the moment was how to explain to the court, and more importantly, how to explain to the Tang.

"Two lords, I am involved in Princess Xia Tang's case. In order to avoid affecting the investigation, I specially asked the Chief Xuan to participate in the investigation. Please understand the two lords!"

"I understand! In the case of greed for ink and stone, I have had an intersection with Master Xuan." Lin Kun said, but his words attracted the attention of King Xiang.

"Master Han Du, I will leave the security of the palace to you! At the same time, more people will be mobilized to conduct a comprehensive search of the scene of the East Palace!"

"Please rest assured His Highness, Your Highness, King Yu!"

"Fifth brother, let's go and visit our father first!"

"well"

King Yu helped Zhang Han Palace in Xiang Dynasty, and Xuan Shaoning stared at the two palaces that had changed on the same night: one in front of him had turned into a pile of black charcoal; the other on the other side of the lake, although it was still decorated with prosperous times, it had already cast a shadow.
