An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 1383

Everyone looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace and saw that the huge Kongming latern that had been swaying in the air before had now become a huge fireball.

There were also small flames that kept falling from the fireball, and no one knew where they fell.

The big Kongming latern was completely on fire. A part of it suddenly fell down while the wreckage kept on floating in the air for a while before it slowly fell towards a place.

"It has fallen down!"

The child's voice rang out in everyone's mind. The night sky had returned to peace, but everyone's eyes were still fixed on that place.

After a long while, Old Lady Cao turned around and fixed her eyes on Cao Han, "You just said that this stuff, was..."

"It was made by the servants brought by Prince Ming Yue from the State of Youyue as well as the people from the Ministry of Works," answered Cao Han hurriedly. He seemed to know what she was thinking.

With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Old Lady Cao replied, "Well, Prince Ming Yue may be afraid that the Emperor and the Empress trust him too much."

Cao Yi turned his head and said in confusion, "But their majesties are both kung fu masters. Even if the accident happened all of a sudden, they should be fine. Besides, they still had the secret guards to help them then ."

The smile on Old Lady Cao's face faded. She looked at Cao Yi coldly, "You idiot."

Cao Yi's face froze and he didn't say anything more.

Cao Han saw clearly Cao Yi's embarrassment, but he didn't say anything to ease the situation for him. Instead, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. Just because of this glimpse, surprise again registered on his face.

"Fire there?" Cao Han narrowed his eyes and said, "The palace seems to be on fire."

All the people turned to the direction of the Imperial Palace and saw that the flames indeed lit up the sky over there.

"It's not strange for the fire. After all, there were so many small fireballs falling down just now, and there are so many buildings in the palace. No one can guarantee where those fireballs should fall. Naturally, there is a fire now.

Just let it burn. The bigger the fire, the better," said Old Lady Cao cheerfully

Thus the people in the Cao mansion were watching the fire above the Imperial Palace while eating moon cakes and enjoying the opera.

About two hours later, the fire gradually showed some signs of abating. The butler came in in a hurry and whispered something in Old Lady Cao's ear.

There was a flash of surprise in Old Lady Cao's eyes, and then a smug smile appeared on her face.

After the butler left, Old Lady Cao stood up and said to the people present, "We've enjoyed the moon and tasted the cakes. So much for the night, everyone. You lot, come to the study, "

she said to her sons including the non-biological ones.

Then she went straight to the study herself.

Cao Yi and his several brothers followed her in a hurry. Only after the door of the study was closed did Old Lady Cao turn around and speak to them with a smile, "I've just got news from the palace that there are a total of four palaces that are on fire, which are the Changxi Palace, the Shuangxue Palace, the Lingxi House, and... the Weiyang Palace. "

Cao Yi and the others looked at each other in disbelief, "The Weiyang Palace? But it's that... "

"Go ahead," Old Lady Cao urged.

The butler nodded and then said, "Our spies in the palace reported that besides the Weiyang Palace, there is fire in the Lingxi House, which is the place where the young master was imprisoned. They thus took the opportunity to save him while trying to put out the fire."

Old Lady Cao suddenly stood up and asked, "What did you say? Did they save him out? "

"Yes, they did." The butler nodded to confirm it.

"Where is he at the moment?" Old Lady Cao asked in a trembling voice, "Is it a trap set by the Empress?"

"I don't think so." The butler's voice was also very serious, "We have confirmed his identity through our eighteen investigations. He has now been sent to the Xige Courtyard through a secret passage. I've confirmed that no one is following us. "

"Okay!" Old Lady Cao nodded and said, "Today's fire comes at the right time. It's our auspicious fire.

But as the young master has escaped, both the Emperor and the Empress will feel suspicious of us. Thus we can't see the young master for the time being. Everything should go well these days and don't show any abnormality."

With that, Old Lady Cao looked at Cao Han and pointed out, "Especially you."

Cao Han hurriedly nodded his head and said yes. Old Lady Cao snorted and continued, "As for the young master, we'll let the spies settle him down carefully first and let them report the current situation to the young master and ask him if he has any opinion on what we should do next.

Now that the real young master has come out, we can completely set our minds at ease. Let's have a good fight!"
