Chapter 165 The Unlucky Princess 3 ” (1/2)
Chapter 165 “The Unlucky Princess (3)”
“Crown Princess, she…”
“What happened to the crown princess?” Nangong Yuan’s brow quickly wrinkled into a knot.
Towards this daughter-in-law of his, he was honestly very pleased with her. The only blemish was Bai Ruo’s inability to properly teach her son.
“Crown Princess, she’s fainted from being beaten by the rod. But because the punishment isn’t over yet, they wouldn’t let anyone get close to treat her.”
Nangong Yuan frowned, his eyes showing a flare of anger.
That Lan Shaoling is too impudent. Just because he has the backing of Di Cang right now doesn’t mean he can make a move against the royal family. Just wait until that man stops being infatuated with Bai Yan. I like to see how your Lan House is going to survive then!
“Your Majesty, something big has happened!”
Before Nangong Yuan could say anything else, another panicking voice had broken through the doorway.
“The royal palace is on fire and even the treasury has been burned down! Please Your Majesty, you must flee now…”
“What?”
Nangong Yuan was completely angered now: “Who is bold enough to burn my treasury?”
“No… Your Majesty, the fire wasn’t meant for the treasury, it was meant for the crown prince’s place. But due to the intensity of the flames, the fire eventually spread outwards and reached the treasury.”
“My son’s place?” Gloomy and dark in his face, the king’s expression was unreadable here: “Is it Lan Shaoling?”
“No…” The eunuch erased the sweat from his forehead, “It’s a young girl brought over by the eldest daughter of the Lan House. The girl also removed the entire back garden after seeing how beautiful the flowers were…”
While they were still discussing this, the reddish color of the flames were quickly reaching over to their location. Gritting his teeth, the king can only do the next logical move: “Quick, retreat!”
Fortunately for the man, he was smart enough to store the most important items inside his storage ring. Otherwise, who knows how big of a loss he would face today.
