After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 350: Reply

"Your Majesty, what I want to tell you about this matter is that no one is encouraging me here, so Your Majesty doesn't need to ask any more questions. After all, there are things I would never tell Your Majesty."

Gan Yanling originally thought that Murong Xueqi would tell him, but in the end, Murong Xueqi was unwilling to tell him at all.

At this moment, he felt relatively depressed and was also in a very angry state. He never expected things to turn out this way.

He grabbed Murong Xueqi's neck tightly. Although Murong Xueqi was having difficulty breathing, she had no intention of answering Gan Yanling's questions. Instead, she coldly said...

"Your Majesty, how many people in this palace do you think truly love you, or how many are genuinely devoted to you?"

This question directly addressed Gan Yanling's star card, and Gan Yanling was momentarily at a loss for words. As for how many people were truly sincere towards him, he genuinely didn't know.

"Does Your Majesty now believe that many people are truly loyal to you?"

They were all talking at once, and at that moment they must have all found it quite ridiculous.

It's just a pity that at this point, it all seems ridiculous.

It just so happens that Lin Fengmian arrived here.

However, Lin Fengmian was observing from the roof beam.

I never expected that Gan Yanling would be here, choking Murong Xueqi so hard.

Gan Luo sent Lin Fengmian here to take Murong Xueqi away, but now that things have escalated to this point, how can he possibly take everyone away? More importantly, he needs to burn the entire palace down. Setting it on fire now would ultimately be... well, let's just say it's risky.

"It's fortunate that I've still bestowed upon you the title of Imperial Concubine. If I had known, I shouldn't have done so. For the next month, you will stay in your palace and won't be able to go anywhere."

Unexpectedly, Murong Xueqi didn't care at all. After her neck was released, she sat down and didn't pay any attention to Gan Yanling, just drinking her wine.

Gan Yanling had a lot of opinions about Murong Xueqi, and then he remembered that Murong Xueqi was someone sent in by Prime Minister Xu. So Gan Yanling decided to go find Prime Minister Xu and talk to him about this matter.

After Gan Yanling left, leaving only Murong Xueqi, Lin Fengmian appeared directly in front of them. The palace maids around them were about to announce his arrival when they saw Lin Fengmian, but Lin Fengmian made a shushing gesture.

"There's something I want to tell you all. You're all supposed to be Murong Xueqi's personal maids, right? I mean, you're her confidantes, aren't you?"

They all agreed that this was indeed the case; she was indeed Murong Xueqi's personal maid.

"Since you are all Murong Xueqi's personal maids, I want to tell you something: I am here to take Murong Xueqi away, and I am also here to take you away."

They were all incredulous at that moment, never expecting that Lin Fengmian would take them away. Suddenly, Lin Fengmian saw a palace maid about to go out and report the matter. Without hesitation, Lin Fengmian killed the palace maid.

"Are we really all capable of leaving this palace? Are you sure you're not joking?"

For all of them, they really wanted to leave this palace.

Because they didn't like the palace at all, and they were the ones who had been accompanying Murong Xueqi all along. The palace maid from earlier seemed to have been arranged by the emperor and was an informant monitoring Murong Xueqi.

"I've taken care of everything outside. Now, all I need to do is something very simple..."

They were all whispering among themselves when Murong Xueqi happened to come out and was overjoyed to see Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian then led Murong Xueqi and the palace maids directly into the back door of the palace. Gan Luo had told Lin Fengmian about this back door, and it seemed that only a group of people knew about it.

The other group of people were unaware that, more importantly, this back door was currently blocked, but Lin Fengmian had opened it up, and he would naturally block it again later.

All of this was done to avoid being discovered, because if he were found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Fengmian would never allow such a thing to happen. He only hoped that everything would be alright and did not want things to escalate further.

As luck would have it, Gan Luo also arrived at this place.

When Gan Luo arrived, he immediately dismissed all the people around him. After dismissing them, he instructed Lin Fengmian to lead them away quickly, as Gan Luo intended to burn down the entire palace.

After everyone had left, Gan Luo set the entire palace ablaze. In an instant, a raging fire broke out, fueled by the large amount of oil that had been poured on it.

The smell of burning quickly spread outside, and when the palace servants outside smelled it, they were all shocked.

"Can you all smell a strong burning smell? I don't know why, but I feel like there's a fire going on. I wonder if any of you have the same thought at this moment."

"We might not smell anything, but we can smell a burning smell. This smell is so strong, it really surprises me. What should we do next?"

Everyone kept trying to come up with a solution because the smell was just too strong, which made them feel quite frustrated. After going outside, they felt even more frustrated and had headaches.

Then, the chief eunuch happened to arrive here. As soon as Jiang Yu arrived, he immediately ordered them to open all the doors. Unexpectedly, a raging fire broke out inside. It is likely that Gan Luo has placed some of the corpses from the mass grave here.

The fire was extremely large and difficult to extinguish, so everyone immediately began to fight it.
