But why does the lord insist on marrying

Chapter 616
On the third day after Xia Ziyan fell off the cliff, after the solemn funeral, King Cang locked himself in the study and never came out.

Only An Yue went in and out of the study several times a day, delivering food to King Cang, but often the food was brought out intact.

In the middle of the night on the fifth day after Xia Ziyan fell off the cliff, a fire broke out in the study of Cang Wangfu.

Because the fire was too fast and fierce, in the face of the ruthless fire, the buckets of water brought by people were so small that they had almost no effect.

The buckets of water didn't really play a role until the fire burned down the study, leaving only empty shelves.

However, it was too late.

That night, many people in the capital did not sleep.

King Heng, King Han, Jing Zhaoyin, etc. all arrived at the scene of the fire, and heard from the guards and servants of King Cang's Mansion that King Cang was always inside, and King Han wanted to rush in several times, but he couldn't stand the fire everywhere, and the heat wave Attacking people, there is no way to get off.

King Han was dragged by the guards again, and could only watch helplessly as the fire engulfed the entire study.

It wasn't until dawn that the fire was gradually extinguished. After a few small flames were found, a basin of water was poured on them in time to prevent the fire from resurging.

Jing Zhaoyin led the people into the study room where there were only broken walls. The dark walls were crumbling and seemed to collapse at any time. From time to time, wooden beams with smoke and small flames fell from the roof.

After careful searching by a group of officials, two charred corpses were finally found at the corner of the inner room, under a pile of blackened bricks and tiles...

The corpses had already changed beyond recognition, and from the incompletely burnt corner of the clothing under the corpses, one could barely distinguish that one was King Cang, and the other was his bodyguard, An Yue.

When the officers and soldiers carried out the charred corpse, King Han had already knelt on the ground and wept loudly.

Even Heng Wang couldn't help shedding a few tears.

Five days ago, Concubine Cang had just fallen off the cliff, and before the news of her death had been digested, King Cang had already followed her.

Jing Zhaoyin led the officials to find out the cause of the fire carefully, because the place where the fire broke out was Cangwang's mansion, and Cangwang was no longer favored, and he was also the emperor's own son...

They can't tolerate the slightest negligence.

In the end, after their intense discussions, they finally came to a consensus. It should be that King Cang and An Yue deliberately placed some flammable items in every corner of the study, and then ignited the fire. burn.

Jing Zhaoyin rushed to the palace to report to the emperor with the results of the investigation, and Nan Gongxi only let out a sad cry when he heard it.

Even if this son doesn't self-immolate, I believe he won't live for long. The love poison that tortured him every month has become unbearable. I'm afraid Xia Ziyan's death is the last straw that crushes his will...

Unexpectedly, his silent and weird son would choose such a tragic way to die...

Nan Gongxi specifically asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange the funeral of King Cang.

Princess Changle received news of the death of King Cang and his wife one after another, and she fainted several times, which frightened Nan Gongxi so much that she hurriedly recruited imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to nourish her body.

After crying for an hour, King Han's voice was hoarse and he was exhausted. He sat down on the ground and stared blankly at the dilapidated study.

When I returned to my senses, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Brother Sanhuang clearly knew that although Sister-in-law Sanhuang fell off the cliff, she did not die. It was obviously fine, why did Brother Sanhuang still ask for suicide?
However, the two corpses were burned beyond recognition...
