”Just now, Jiu'er wanted to go chase after big sister Zhao, but who knew that she wouldn't be able to. She got lost and couldn't find big sister Zhao or fifth brother no matter how hard she tried. ”Fifth brother, there's no one in the darkness of the mountain. Jiu'er is really scared!”

The youth who was addressed as fifth brother was the Fifth Prince, Feng Jingyi. Feng Jingyi pinched Ninth Prince's fleshy little face: ”Let's see if you still dare to run around next time.”

Suddenly, the carriage jolted and Feng Jingyi hugged Ninth Prince who almost rolled onto the ground, and bellowed: ”Qilin!”

After the bumpy time, the noise coming from outside had passed through the thick curtain and into the carriage. Feng Jingyi frowned, he did not know why his heart was in such a mess, but he felt that today's events were extremely strange.

He opened the curtain and looked outside. The Qilin who was driving the carriage stopped and a voice reported to him, ”Your Highness, the crown prince has met an assassin. The crown prince's mansion and Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin are currently all over the city.”

However, Feng Jingyi's gaze was attracted by a wisp of black smoke in the distance. The winter night was especially bright due to the reflection of the snow, allowing him to clearly see a few groups of people searching door to door for something. In the distance, there was a wisp of fire carrying thick black smoke rising, that was …

”Mansion of Grand Commandant!” The qilin whispered.

Zhaoming!

Feng Jingyi's temple fiercely jumped, ”Quickly go and put out the fire!”

This was the night where Yongding City was the most flustered in the fourteen years of his life, and also the most unlucky night of his fourteen years of life.

In order to put out the fire, he even brought along the soldiers who were in charge of capturing the assassin's Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin. This was because Princess Zhaoming was coincidentally trapped in the study room with the Mansion of Grand Commandant at the starting of the fire.

Fortunately, they found it in time and the fire did not spread out. Who knew that at the same time that they rescued Zhaoming, the Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin soldiers found a letter that had been burned halfway through the study room. A corrupt letter worth two hundred thousand silver.

On the other side, the assassin who tried to assassinate the crown prince was surrounded by soldiers and soldiers. They were forced to hide in the palace.

The people of the crown prince's residence had no choice but to search the residence of the Duke of Qing. However, when they searched the bedroom, they were obstructed in every way by the Duke of Qing.

In an instant, everyone in the imperial court was shocked.

In comparison, Bai Yinan, who had found the letter more than four hours before them, instantly lost all ability to continue the conversation as two important officials of the imperial court were dragged into the corruption case consecutively.
