Empress will not return to the palace tonight

Chapter 70

Just when she was having fun inwardly, the fire that had been burning all night in Prince Wei's mansion finally stopped.

In order to scare Bai Yun away yesterday, Concubine Li had to teach a lot of oil, and the fire lasted for so long.

Concubine Li and King Wei were still very anxious, worried that it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath if they were burned to death like this, so they didn't rest all night and kept waiting. The mother and son looked very embarrassed at the moment.

"Hurry up and have someone go in and have a look." Dowager Li said through gritted teeth.

"The fire burned the Magnolia Courtyard to ashes, what else is there to see? They must all be dead." Wei Wang said with a pale face.

I don't know why, but at this moment, he feels very heartbroken.

Although he hated that girl very much before, from now on, no one will treat him like her again.

"That's what that dead girl asked for herself. We declared to the outside world, we just said that she... just said that she was not a woman, and she had an affair with the guards in the mansion. After being caught by us, she was so ashamed that she set a torch on herself. Burned to death." Concubine Li said in a deep voice.

"Isn't that right?" King Wei's eyes widened when he heard this, it's not a gentleman's action to pour dirty water on her even though she is dead.

"That dead girl came here by herself in Zuiyue Tower, hugged other men in public, and said that she was not a woman, and she was not wronged." When Concubine Li said this, her face was full of coldness: "Otherwise, what would you say?" Is it your concubine mother who set her on fire? Do you think your concubine mother’s life under the empress dowager’s hands these years is not miserable enough? Do you want her to find another chance to abuse me?”

"My lord, my mother and concubine did this for your own good. People die like mud, and Bai Xiyan is already dead. As for how she died? Of course, I have to talk about it in a place that is beneficial to us. Don't be confused, and you can't do it just because of a moment. The soft-heartedness and intolerance of her made her mother and concubine feel unkind and unrighteous." Peng Biyu said hastily.

"In the future, on her death day, let's burn more paper money for her to pay homage to her. Now, for the sake of my concubine and you, I can only say this." Concubine Li said this, stretched out her hand to hold her son's hand and said with a smile: "Hurry up and follow your mother into the palace. Now we all look very embarrassed. We just told those people in the palace that we don't want her to die, and you even stayed up all night with illness trying to save others."

The king of Wei did not speak for a long time after hearing the words.

"Hurry up, if the people in the palace know the news first, it will be too late." After finishing speaking, Concubine Li pushed her son out.

At this moment, the leader of the guards hurried over, just in time to see King Wei and Concubine Li coming out at the door.

"Reporting to the concubine and the prince, the servants searched through the ruins of the Magnolia Courtyard, but did not find the remains of the concubine and the maids." The guard chief reported urgently.

Concubine Li and King Wei were stunned upon hearing this.

"He's not dead?" Peng Biyu couldn't help but opened his mouth.

Wasn't she happy before?

"Damn you bitch, I knew she wouldn't die that easily. As the saying goes, the disaster will last a thousand years!" Concubine Li said sharply, clenched her fists.

"Since the person is not dead, he should have gone back to Bai's house. I'll go to Yongninghou's mansion to have a look." King Wei was about to leave after speaking.

"Are you confused? What are you going to Yongning Hou's mansion to see? It's good if she leaves, so don't go back to Wei Wang's mansion in the future. Let's go into the palace immediately, cry to the emperor, and beg him to issue an order to allow you to reconcile." Dowager Li Holding back his son, he said in a deep voice.

"But we don't have that much money to pay her dowry. If it doesn't work... just give her my piece of land." King Wei said cruelly.
