Chapter 258 Don't blame me for not wanting to serve the country
Brother Xuan was startled, and immediately flew forward, grabbing the flustered servant, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Dingguo Gong set fire to the post house!" The servant said quickly.

Brother Xuan pushed the servant away with a wave, and looked back at Chai Sujin, "Sister, it seems that I am not the most impulsive person, so don't say that I am out of my mind in words and actions in the future."

Chai Sujin frowned slightly, "How is the situation now?"

"The Holy One sent people to put out the fire, but was blocked by Ding Guogong. The fire was very strong. Ding Guogong even sent people to lock the doors and windows to prevent the Chu people in the post house from escaping..." The servant hadn't finished speaking. .

Chai Sujin held up her skirt and rushed out of the garden in strides.

"Prepare the horse, hurry up!" Chai Sujin ordered.

She quickly changed into her riding clothes, and rode to the posthouse herself.

Ever since she was named Princess Changming, she has always lived in seclusion, and even when traveling in a carriage, she would not allow anyone to wear her emblem.

Like today, riding a horse on the street in person has never happened before.

But if it's an emergency, I don't care about that.

The horse galloped, still far away from the street of the post house, and felt the scorching wind blowing towards his face.

Chai Sujin was anxious and couldn't help beating the horse even faster.

A dense group of people surrounded the post house tightly. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. There were soldiers and officials from the five cities' soldiers and horses, as well as many common people who came to watch the excitement.

The people from Wucheng Bingmasi seemed to be having a dispute with some of the people in front of them, making a lot of noise, but not many people were actually putting out the fire.

In the middle of the fire, there were still voices of struggling for help and screaming, which made people's brains ache.

"Get out of the way—" Chai Sujin shouted.

But the common people were all watching the excitement noisily, and some were in a hurry to put out the fire, but they couldn't squeeze in. The scene was very chaotic.

No one could hear Chai Sujin's voice amidst the noise.Even if I heard it, I couldn't let it go.

Chai Sujin swung his whip and threw a resounding whistle in the air.

The crisp sound of "Pa--" startled the people around her, and they all looked up at her.

"I am Princess Changming, get out of the way!" Chai Sujin shouted coldly.

Hearing the name of Princess Changming, the people who had gathered together to watch the excitement quickly started to move.

"Give way! Hurry up! Princess Changming is here! The posthouse is saved!"

"Get out of the way, deaf? The princess is coming!"

"Princess Changming, who saves the suffering, is here, hurry up, go aside! Make way for the princess!"

……

Although there were no soldiers to clear the way, the common people spontaneously moved the people around them, word of mouth, which was better than soldiers clearing the way in a panic.

Soon, a path that was not wide but could accommodate one person was made available among the crowd.

Chai Sujin got off her horse and passed through the crowd.

Zhao Yuanzhen was standing in front of the burning posthouse, and the hot wind brought by the flames hit people's cheeks.

Thick smoke rushed up into the sky, and there were constant coughing sounds from around.

Chai Sujin looked directly at Zhao Yuanzhen and walked straight to his side.

The guards around him wanted to step forward to stop him, but a sharp-eyed person recognized Princess Changming, and quickly gestured to his companions.

All the followers bowed their heads and retreated to make room for Chai Sujin to come closer.

"Mr. Dingguo is so powerful and domineering. This post house is an important place. If you say set it on fire, you will set it on fire." Chai Sujin stood behind him and said in a flat tone.

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly turned around, "Are you here too?"

Chai Sujin looked at him indifferently, no anger could be seen on her face, it seemed that the raging fire in front of her eyes and the flames reflecting the red sky had nothing to do with her.

The sound of cursing and howling in the post house has nothing to do with her.

Zhao Yuanzhen stepped forward to hold her hand, but found that her hand was cold.

"What?" He looked up at her.

"Where do you want to put me? Where do you want to put yourself? Did you never think about anything before the fire?" Chai Sujin said.

Zhao Yuanzhen lowered his eyes slightly, "I thought about it, I will bear the infamy, but I can't call you like this, come here, pass the order down—Princess Changming ordered to put out the fire!"

As soon as he gave an order, the people who blocked the soldiers and horses of the five cities withdrew immediately, and joined the fire fighting brigade together with the civilian soldiers.

The scene became more hectic for a while, but the fire was quickly brought under control.

People from Chu State who were burned or fainted were carried out for rescue.

Chai Sujin looked at the people who were being carried out, and at the civilian soldiers who were injured by fighting the fire, her whole body couldn't stop trembling.

She withdrew her hand from Zhao Yuanzhen's, and the tranquility on her face finally turned into a cold and distant smile, "You're going too far."

"It was Ma Wenzhao who forced me to do this." Zhao Yuanzhen said with downcast eyes, "Everyone has a weakness that cannot be touched. If you don't touch it, it's gone. It hurts so much."

Chai Sujin took a deep breath.

Zhao Yuanzhen raised his eyes and looked at her. The fire in the post house was gradually extinguished, but his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, "Jin'er, you are the softest part of my body, no one can touch it. Uncle touches it." , I still can't tolerate it. How about Ma Wenzhao?"

Chai Sujin frowned slightly.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a step forward, took her hand again, and wrapped her hand tightly in his callused palm, "If you hate me because I hurt others, I admit it. But I don't regret it, I will I will not spare anyone who dares to think about you and use any means to coerce you."

Chai Sujin stared fixedly at Zhao Yuanzhen.

"I don't hate you." Chai Sujin said softly, "I just feel guilty."

Zhao Yuanzhen squinted, "If you want to feel guilty, it should be me. What's your business?"

Chai Sujin shook her head, "I left an opportunity for others to take advantage of, if..."

If he could have married him earlier, would Ma Wenzhao have been able to give up and avoid so many troubles?

Chai Sujin pulled out her hand, and looked at the ruined post house under the fire with a cold face.

Yesterday, the post house was an exquisite, prosperous and representative building in the capital, and it was burned to the ground in the blink of an eye.I don't even know how many Chu people suffered from being burned in this fire.

I don't know if it has killed someone?

She walked away from the post house step by step, and walked towards her horse. Every step seemed to be extremely heavy and difficult.

She knew that Zhao Yuanzhen was standing there, staring at her intently.

But she forced herself not to look back, and walked away step by step.

The sky seemed to be gloomy, whether it was the dark clouds or the smoke from the fire, the originally bright sunshine could not be seen if the sky was blocked out.

Chai Sujin got on the horse, and with a sound of "drive--", he rode away.Never looked back.

When she returned to her house, she sent someone to deliver her special burn ointment to the people of Chu.

And ask people to pay attention to the injured people in this fire, if there is any need, ask the whole princess mansion to be ready.The Princess Mansion promises to spare no effort to provide those who serve and help, as well as the medicinal materials needed.

She is willing to personally atone for what Zhao Yuanzhen did.

Even so, it still couldn't stop the rumors from the people in the DPRK and China.

The officials went up to play, angrily accusing Ding Guogong of destroying the relationship between the two countries, and even setting fire to the post house. The behavior was extremely vicious.If the state of Chu violates our border due to this, Duke Ding will be responsible for it.

The common people continued to scold him, saying that Duke Ding is a fool, a dandy, and a bastard who doesn't know the suffering of the people.

Some people even said that Ding Guogong was obsessed with beauty, and his lust made him stunned. Because he was greedy for Princess Changming's beauty, he did not hesitate to stir up discord between the two countries...

"You are still involved." Ji Bocai came to the Princess Mansion to visit Chai Sujin.

Chai Sujin lowered her eyes, "It's not in vain to say that it was my responsibility."

"Don't take everything on yourself, he is not Brother Xuan, nor is he a child." Ji Bocai sighed softly.

"But it's because of me." Chai Sujin twitched her lips helplessly.

Ji Bocai raised his eyes and looked at her deeply, "The news will be sent back to Chu State sooner or later, it cannot be hidden... What do you plan to do in the future?"

Chai Sujin was silent for a while, then shook her head, "Now I can only take one step at a time... what else can I do?"

Ji Bocai laughed when he heard the words, "I was really scared when I came here."

"Oh? My cousin is also afraid sometimes? I thought my cousin was fearless?" Chai Sujin laughed.

Ji Bocai shook his head, "Of course I'm afraid, I'm not afraid of things that I can control, but there are many things in this world that I can't do whatever I think."

"What is cousin afraid of?" Chai Sujin looked at him.

Their eyes met, Ji Bocai suddenly looked away.

"I'm afraid my cousin will feel guilty." Ji Bocai said slowly.

Chai Sujin nodded, "I have, for those injured Chu people, and even for those civilian soldiers who were injured by fighting the fire."

"I'm afraid that my cousin will be influenced by the rumors and make a rash decision because of the guilt in my heart..." Ji Bocaihua stopped talking before he finished speaking.

Chai Sujin tilted her head, and sighed clearly: "Cousin is worried that I will get angry because of what Duke Ding did, and agree to marry to Chu?"

When she spoke plainly, Ji Bocai's face was filled with embarrassment.

Chai Sujin smiled, "I can't decide this matter. Cousin don't have to worry about me. If the Holy Majesty arranges it like this, I will have no complaints. If the Holy Majesty doesn't allow it, it's no wonder I don't want to serve the country It's gone, isn't it?"

Ji Bocailang laughed, "What the princess said is true!"
