Chapter 174 Repeating the Same Trick

Meanwhile, in the waterside pavilion, the Imperial Noble Consort already sensed something was wrong. "No."

"We need to go back quickly and capture and execute Yu Jiuxia."

"Jiang Zhi knows all our secrets. If she lives, we all have to die!"

The Imperial Noble Consort was furious; she had never been schemed against like this before.

"Going back now will alert the enemy."

"Here's what we'll do: wait for Yuan'er to wake up, and then have him kill Yu Jiuxia directly. That way, no one will suspect anything."

What you need now is to calm down.

The Imperial Noble Consort was completely unable to calm down. "I really didn't expect that yesterday I was tricked by Gu Liang, and now this little girl Jiang Zhi has been tricking us all along."

"She used Qiao Lixue to shoot and injure Yuan'er, making Yuan'er unable to have children and causing her to lose her position as crown prince. In this way, Gu Liang can become the crown prince."

"The physicians around my Yuan'er are all her people. That couple is really something. I will make them wish they were dead!"

A loud bang startled them both.

Immediately following, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke filled the room in an instant, leaving the two terrified.

"What's going on? How can there be another fire!"

"It happened."

Duke Liu went to open the door to the room, but he couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried. "Damn it, the door is locked from the inside."

"It must have been Jiang Zhi who did it, it must have been her!"

"I do not want to die. I want to kill Jiang Zhi."

The Imperial Noble Consort shouted angrily.

Duke Liu tried to break down the door, but the fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and thick smoke was getting into his throat.

A moment later, the boss's shouts came from outside the waterside pavilion.

After Xingluo and Jiaoyue, along with several guards, set the fire, they hid in the dense forest behind the waterside pavilion.

In the dense forest, Xingluo looked at the guards in front of him.

"Once the fire has burned down enough, you guys will come with me and help with the rescue."

After saying that, the group disappeared into the dense forest.

Thick smoke billowed throughout the entire waterside pavilion.

Following Jiang Zhi's instructions, Xingluo Jiaoyue did not allow the fire to grow too large, but the smoke was enough to attract more people to watch.

The flames and thick smoke quickly shot into the sky, attracting the attention of people performing a ritual in the distant forest.

Hearing cries for help in the distance, the emperor turned around and looked into the distance, where he saw thick smoke billowing from the pavilion.

"Father, it seems there's a fire over there," Gu Liang said.

"Father, let me go and take a look."

He glanced at the guards in front of him and said, "Protect my father well, I'll be right back."

He turned and followed a group of guards to put out the fire.

Eunuch Wang walked up to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the fire is huge."

"If His Highness the Prince of Liang were to depart like this, what if something were to happen to him..."

The emperor glared at Eunuch Wang and ordered the guards beside him, "You all go with him."

The eunuch Wang helped the emperor toward the waterside pavilion.

When the group hurriedly arrived at Yunxuan Water Pavilion, they saw guards coming and going, as well as the owner and waiters of Yunxuan Water Pavilion carrying basins of water towards the pavilion.

In the private room on the second floor, the Imperial Noble Consort nearly fainted after inhaling the thick smoke.

Still conscious, she cursed under her breath as she walked out.

"If it really was that bitch Jiang Zhi who set the fire, I'll make her pay once I get back alive!"

Duke Liu stretched out his leg to try to kick the door open, but the fire was too intense, and it was difficult to take even one step forward.

The Imperial Noble Consort desperately cried for help, her throat becoming dry and hoarse from the smoke.

The two people inside were so overwhelmed by the fumes that the Duke of Liu helped the Imperial Concubine, who was about to faint, to her feet.

He walked to the window, opened it, and began calling for help.

Cries for help came from a private room on the second floor. Upon seeing this, the owner of the waterside pavilion immediately shouted.

"Quick! Quick! Everyone get to the second floor to rescue them! There's a couple in a room upstairs!"

Just as Gu Liang was about to rush into the fire, he heard the emperor say, "Ji You, you shouldn't go. The fire is so big, you shouldn't go now."

When the emperor arrived, it was unclear whether he was alarmed by the raging fire that had injured him, or whether he feared that people would gossip if he didn't show concern for the emperor.

Gu Liang glanced at the emperor. "Saving lives is the priority."

After saying those words, he rushed into the fire without looking back, heading straight for the second floor.

As soon as I reached the second floor, I heard two people calling for help from inside the room.

Just then, several guards hurried over.

“Your Highness, that voice sounds so familiar.”

Gu Liang's eyes darkened as she covered her nose.

He kicked the door open with a bang, and what came into view were the Imperial Noble Consort and Duke Liu, who were blackened by the smoke.
