Chapter 289: The Daughter of a Minor Official Whose Family Was Destroyed by Someone (5)
While rushing through the fire, Shuangshuang used their meager spiritual power to protect the faces of the three people as much as possible.
After finally running out safely and throwing away the wet blanket, Taozi and Orange were shivering all over, not sure if they were cold or scared.
Orange looked around but didn't see the child. She burst into tears at the same moment.
“Ah, Miss, where’s the Master?!
Where is our young master?!"
“Don’t worry, the princess took him to the main courtyard last night.
You guys wait here, I'll go bring Shaoren back."
Shuangshuang saw through Xiaojuzi that the child was sleeping soundly, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As we walked, I asked, "Little Orange, why didn't you wake me up when you held the baby?"
"I shouted, maybe you were drugged too much, and you only woke up after I gave you an antidote pill.
I didn't know they were so quick to set the fire right after they took the child out."
Shuangshuang didn't say anything else and just walked quickly towards the main courtyard.
Before reaching the door, I could hear the princess talking to the prince's wife from afar.
"From now on, this child will be your legitimate son, you must treat him well.
You should also thank his uncle and aunt for giving you descendants.
The child is still young, so don't tell him these things.
When he grows up, I will take him to kowtow in front of his uncle and aunt’s graves.”
"Okay, mother, your daughter-in-law will remember this."
"Oh! How shameless! When did my son become her legitimate son?"
Seeing Shuangshuang rushing in, all wet, everyone in the room was shocked.
"You, you, you, what's wrong with you?"
"How did we wake up and still be alive?
Of course, God cannot bear to see your cruelty and ruthlessness, and has opened his eyes!"
After saying that, he rushed over, grabbed his son, and rushed out without saying a word.
"Second daughter-in-law, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going to file a complaint with the emperor.
I want a divorce from a black-hearted family like you, and I want to take my son and leave."
"No, he is the only grandchild of my Leling Palace. How can I let you take him away?"
"If I don't take you away, will you torture me to death?"
"No, second wife, you misunderstood. Let me explain."
But was Shuangshuang trying to reason with them? That was just a trick.
The moment he walked out of the main courtyard, he sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills behind him.
In an instant, all the masters and servants in the main courtyard fainted on the ground, and then thousands of roots grew out from under their feet and rushed into the house.
Clean out everything inside.
After leaving the main courtyard, Shuangshuang directly took out a fire-control talisman from his own space and threw it over.
I don’t know which Foundation Establishment cultivator it was snatched from.
Compared with ordinary fire, it cannot be easily extinguished even by heavy rain before the spiritual energy is exhausted.
If Shuangshuang wasn't so angry, she wouldn't have taken it out so easily.
When they returned to the gate of their yard, Taozi and Orange cried with joy when they saw their children were safe and sound.
After Shuangshuang showed them the child, she secretly sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills on them both, and they both fell to the ground naturally in an instant.
Shuangshuang held the child in her arms and lay down on the ground.
When the neighbors saw that the Leling Palace was on fire, they all rushed over to put out the fire.
But strangely, only the main courtyard and the Snow Bamboo Garden of the second house in the entire Leling Palace caught fire.
At the door of the second house, the second wife was accompanied by her two maids and her son.
He was covered with a wet quilt and fainted in a small garden not far from the yard.
As for the other maids, I didn't see any of them.
The only sounds in the whole yard besides the crying of children and the crackling sounds of anger.
Someone was quickly sent to wake Shuangshuang up, but it turned out that she couldn't wake up no matter what.
Seeing this, the people from the Qin Palace next door had no choice but to ask the palace doctor to come and see them.
The court doctor took their pulses and said, "They were drugged with a strong drug. If they hadn't run out of the yard before they passed out, I'm afraid..."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and quickly ordered people to search in the yard where there was no fire.
Sure enough, I saw maids and servants lying on the ground.
They quickly called the imperial physician over, who gave them acupuncture and medicine, and they slowly woke up.
When Shuangshuang saw so many people, she looked up at her yard and then looked around panically.
Seeing his son being held in the arms of a stranger, he hurried over and held his son in his arms.
Only then did he hurriedly stand up and thank everyone.
The King of Qin asked, "My nephew's wife, do you know what happened?"
Both shook their heads, “I only remember that the main kitchen sent a bowl of bird’s nest porridge last night, and said that the princess made it specially for me.
Because my mother used to often give me these good things, I didn’t think too much about it.
Thinking I couldn’t finish such a big bowl, I shared it with the two maids.
As a result, I was half asleep when I heard my son crying loudly, and then I felt a heat wave coming.
I was just feeling drowsy at the time, and it was only when my maid took a dagger and cut our hands that I woke up. Then I wrapped myself in a quilt and ran out.
I saw that the main courtyard seemed to be on fire as well, so I wanted to go over there to take a look, but...
By the way, Uncle Wang, how are my father, mother, and concubine doing?"
"Ugh……
My condolences..."
"What? How is this possible!
Who is so vicious as to want to kill my entire family in Leling Palace?"
As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
The little orange was so happy that he was flattering in the space!
"Your Highness, your acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite!
If you don't know this, who would suspect that their deaths are related to you?"
"Humph, it has nothing to do with me in the first place! I'm just a weak woman, what can I do to so many people?"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
When the Queen Mother in the palace learned that her sons and grandsons had all died, she was said to have fainted several times.
In order to comfort his elderly mother, the emperor ordered the Dali Temple to find out the real culprit.
The people from the Dali Temple investigated for a long time and finally found out that the princess had ordered someone to prepare the drug.
But it also seemed impossible. Could it be that she killed herself while preparing the medicine?
In the end, the Dali Temple Minister only handed over what he had found out to the emperor.
When the emperor saw the contents of the memorial, he became furious, but like the Grand Court Minister, he did not believe it.
However, he still ordered the secret guards, "Go and check it again for me."
When Shuangshuang passed by Xiaojuzi, she knew that the emperor had sent secret guards, so she naturally acted as if nothing had happened.
But when the secret guard was sleeping, he asked Xiaojuzi to give him a Yilian Youmeng Pill.
"Tell her that the drug was indeed brought back by the princess.
But she just wanted to kill Shuangshuang and take her child, so she set fire to Xuezhuyuan.
And why did the main courtyard where she lived often catch fire?
Of course, she accidentally put it into the incense burner and mistook it for incense powder, so the whole family was affected.
When he fainted, he knocked over a candlestick and the fire started."
