Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 116: Dare to set fire to the carriage? Back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Ling Ruoyao cautiously got out of the carriage with Caizhi's support.

Huangfu Yi, who originally came back with her, was summoned by the emperor to enter the palace.

Limping into the gate of the palace, Ling Ruoyao saw a servant rushing to the backyard at a glance, and she didn't even see her walking in.

Suspicion suddenly arose in her heart, her delicate brows frowned slightly, and she called out to a boy who was running past the yard: "Stop."

The young servant suddenly stopped in his tracks, quickly turned around to look at her, and said respectfully: "My servant pays my respects to the princess."

After waving his hand to make the boy stand up, Ling Ruoyao asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

For some reason, there was always a sense of uneasiness spreading in her heart, and even her eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably. .

No, this feeling is extremely bad.

The young man seemed a little panicked, frightened, hesitating, and didn't make a sound for a long time.It wasn't until Ling Ruoyao cast a cold look at him that he said expectantly, "Yes... yes... the kitchen in the backyard is flooded."

"The kitchen is flooded?" Ling Ruoyao was shocked immediately, and stared at him in disbelief with her clear eyes.

It was only two days since she and Huangfu Yi left the palace, unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened when they came back.

A kitchen fire is no small matter.If the fire spreads, maybe the entire palace will be engulfed in flames.

"What's the situation now?" Ling Ruoyao was suddenly tense, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice, with a serious expression on her pretty face.

And she stepped forward suddenly, accidentally hurt her leg, and a burst of pain came, which made her hiss and her brows frowned even tighter.

The young man didn't know that she was injured, and thought she was about to get angry, so he quickly lowered his head and said: "The fire has been extinguished, it's just the kitchen, I'm afraid it won't be usable anymore."

"What's going on?" Ling Ruoyao looked at the boy in front of her with a gloomy face, only feeling a ball of anger burning in her heart.

During the time she and Huangfu Yi were not in the mansion, even the kitchen was burned down.If they had been away for a longer time, would the entire palace be gone?

The little servant was so frightened that he couldn't help trembling, not daring to be negligent, and hurriedly replied: "It's Concubine Su. Just now Concubine Su was lighting a fire in the kitchen, and she accidentally ignited the dry firewood piled up next to her. meeting……"

As he said that, the servant quietly raised his head to glance at Ling Ruoyao, but was startled by her gloomy and cold appearance at this moment, and hurriedly looked away, burying his head low.

A pair of clear eyes were stained with sharpness at this time, Ling Ruoyao tightly pursed her red lips, and did not say a word, but the cold aura emanating from her body could not be ignored.

Was Su Yuhe really careless, or did he do it on purpose?

She punished Su Yuhe and Yao Qingru to light the fire and chop wood, but they were lucky enough to burn down the kitchen.

"Chuan Concubine Yao..." With courage, the servant looked at Ling Ruoyao again and said in a low voice, "Concubine Yao accidentally slipped her waist when chopping firewood yesterday, I'm afraid she won't be able to recover in a short time. .”

The exquisite thin eyebrows frowned even tighter, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help touching her forehead and sighing, feeling helpless in her heart.

These two people are really delicate, one chopping firewood flashed his waist, and the other set fire to the kitchen, which is really good!

"Where are the two of you now?" Ling Ruoyao asked in a low voice after putting away her messy thoughts.

"The two side concubines are resting in the room."

Without saying a word, Ling Ruoyao waved his hand and sent the boy away.

With Caizhi's support, Ling Ruoyao continued to walk towards the backyard, but turned around and walked towards the kitchen instead of going straight back to her own yard.

Walking to the yard, all the way you can see people running back and forth in a hurry, dealing with the kitchen that has been burned to empty shelves.

"Miss, your leg injury is still unhealed, you should go back and rest first. Let these servants take care of it." Caizhi carefully supported her, for fear of falling her.

However, Ling Ruoyao didn't seem to have heard her advice, and still walked slowly, limping towards the kitchen.

When they came to the kitchen that was burnt into ruins, Ling Ruoyao looked up and took a look at the bare kitchen in front of her.

The servants were still busy, and they didn't bother to greet her, Ling Ruoyao didn't care, and directed them to rush in and out.

Although the kitchen had burned down and there was nothing to salvage, it couldn't just be left here and a new kitchen had to be built.

But for this matter, Huangfu Yi had to speak up.

After all the things that should be explained were arranged properly, Ling Ruoyao called a young servant at the side, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you remember how the things in this kitchen are usually arranged?"

"Princess, please come with the servant." The young servant bowed his head and said, then turned and walked to the burnt kitchen first.

Ling Ruoyao didn't care too much, and walked in with him.

After stepping in, she immediately felt a pungent smoke coming towards her.Although the fire has been extinguished, the air is still filled with acrid soot, and the heat can still be felt.

Come to think of it, the fire happened not long ago.

Pointing to the pitch-black stove, but the shape could be discerned vaguely, the young man said, "This is the stove. This is where the fire is usually lit. And the firewood is usually piled there."

As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the wall a little further away from the stove.

In that corner, there was a large pile of soot, and it was obvious at a glance that there must have been a lot of combustibles piled up there before.

The servant was still talking about the usual decorations in the kitchen, but Ling Ruoyao didn't pay attention to it at all, her eyes kept wandering over the stove and the pile of soot in the corner.

Although the stove is not too far from the corner of the wall, if the firewood accidentally falls out during the fire, it will not affect the dry firewood piled here at all.

Moreover, judging from the distribution of soot, there is no firewood piled up near the stove, and even if there is, it is only a small part, which is not enough to accomplish anything.

She still remembered that when she was in the front yard just now, what the boy said was that Concubine Su accidentally ignited the dry firewood piled up next to her.

Heh, this Su Yuhe wasn't careless, she clearly did it on purpose!

Isn't this courageous?How dare you set fire to it!

After explaining a few words, Ling Ruoyao asked Caizhi to support her, left the scene of the fire, and walked towards Su Yuhe's yard instead.

She was going to see if this side concubine Su was injured or frightened.

All the way to Su Yuhe's yard, Ling Ruoyao winked at Caizhi, and the two of them walked lightly into the yard.

In fact, even if the two of them didn't have to be so deliberate, their steps were already very light.As for Ling Ruoyao's limping walking posture, how much movement can there be?

The yard was very quiet, and there was no sign of a servant, and the door was closed tightly, so I don't know what's going on in the house.

Going straight to the closed door, Ling Ruoyao had just stepped up the stone steps when she saw a maid walking out of the room with a tray in her hand. After she came out, she closed the door again.

The maid didn't expect to see Ling Ruoyao, after a moment of surprise, she just wanted to salute, but was stopped by Ling Ruoyao.

She winked at her and warned her not to make a sound, so she sent the maid away.

This servant girl didn't dare to be troublesome, adhering to the principle of not being too busy with things, she left in a hurry.

She saw nothing and knew nothing.

Arriving at the door, Ling Ruoyao just raised her hands to push the closed door open when she heard voices coming from the room.Then go back to Ling.

After being taken aback for a while, she withdrew her hands, an imperceptible sneer appeared on her lips, and her eyes became ruthless.

Unexpectedly, Yao Qingru was also inside.

Didn't she twitch her waist and lie on the bed to rest, can't she recover in a short time?How could he still come to Su Yuhe's yard?

Ling Ruoyao didn't make a sound, just stood outside the door, listening to the conversation between the two in the room.

She wanted to hear what the two of them were secretly discussing.

In the room, Su Yuhe leaned on the bed, while Yao Qingru sat on the stool in front of the bed, picked up the tea cup, and fiddled with the lid of the tea cup.

"Sister Yao, is your waist okay?" Su Yuhe asked worriedly, leaning towards Yao Qingru.

With a faint smile on his lips, Yao Qingru said nonchalantly: "If I say there is something to do, then there is something to do, and if I say it's all right, then there's nothing to do."

Su Yuhe also laughed, with unconcealable pride in her laughter: "The prince will be back tomorrow, but even if the prince returns, it will not help. The kitchen is already on fire, and I am also injured. Sister Yao, you, Even more so, I can't get out of bed and move around."

Ling Ruoyao outside the house listened quietly, with a sneer on her lips.The two thought that they really followed the schedule and would not come back until tomorrow.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and they came back early.

In the room, Yao Qingru looked at Su Yuhe with a guilty face, looked at the gauze wrapped around her forehead, sighed and said: "I just said it casually, but I don't want to, you really set fire to the kitchen, look, you put yourself hurt."

"If I have nothing to do, I will be suspected, especially the princess, who will definitely make a fuss about this matter!" Su Yuhe said angrily, "Also, Sister Yao, you have a good idea. If the kitchen is gone, we will make a fuss about it!" There is no need to burn fire and chop wood, and the princess can no longer let us stay in the kitchen."

Yao Qingru smiled, her smile was perfect and impeccable: "Yes. It would be better if they are all gone."

Outside the house, Ling Ruoyao sighed helplessly, and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing.

Normally Su Yuhe is arrogant and domineering, and doesn't take her seriously, but she doesn't think that she is such a brainless person.

Or did she trust Yao Qingru too much?
