The guards rushed into the fire one after another, wrapped in wet quilts. Some of them went in to save people, while others were putting out the fire at the gate.

When Ye Jinyun saw the guards rushing in, he immediately asked everyone to get ready to follow the guards out.

She first let Concubine Qi hold Princess Yuanjia, and then followed the guard who came in first out.

Then when more guards came in, she asked Qing'er and Yinzhu to go out first.

Qing'er and Yinzhu naturally refused. They were servants and their lives were worthless, so they naturally wanted their master to be saved first. Moreover, their master was pregnant.

Seeing that the two men refused to leave no matter what he said, and the fire was growing bigger and bigger, Ye Jinyun took the opportunity and immediately pushed the two men towards the guards who came in to rescue them.

Then, in the surprised eyes of Qing'er, Yinzhu and the guards, he shouted:

"You guys hurry out first! Come back alive to see me."

Seeing that she had never been so stern before, Qing'er and Yinzhu were no longer stubborn. They immediately followed the guards who came in, wrapped in wet quilts, and walked quickly out the door.

Ye Jinyun finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them leave.

They are her people, she must save them. Otherwise, given their status as servants, if she rescues them first, there is no guarantee that anyone will come in to save them.

The two palace maids serving Concubine Qi and her daughter in the inner room on the right are an example.

Although it was because Ye Jinyun failed to detoxify them in time that they did not wake up and were unable to escape together.

But even so, when Concubine Qi was rescued, she did not tell the guards who rescued her that there was someone else in the room over there.

Therefore, in the eyes of the powerful in this feudal society, the lives of slaves are worthless.

And she could only protect her people as much as possible.

Ye Jinyun put his thoughts aside and turned to look at the blazing fire in the house.

She moved towards the nearest place and stepped into the fire, then she found that the fire could not burn her at all.

Ye Jinyun couldn't help but nod in his heart. It turned out that this was the system's fire survival mode. It was indeed powerful.

So I called out to the system in my mind: "System, give you a thumbs up."

[System: Host, you're welcome. Your life is the life of this system. It's only natural.]

After Ye Jinyun finished talking to the system, he did not stay any longer and walked out of the house on his own initiative.

Of course, when she reached the door, she still had to pretend to be met by the guards. She pulled the guards tightly, covered her with wet cotton, and was helped out by them.

…

"Yun'er!"

As soon as Ye Jinyun went out, Mo Qiyuan immediately ran up and hugged her tightly in his arms.

The muscles in his arms were tense. He wanted to squeeze her into his body, but he was afraid that she would feel pain, so his movements seemed a little stiff.

Ye Jinyun, who was hugged by him, felt his warm breath on her neck, and his body was trembling slightly. Her heart softened and she reached out to stroke his broad back.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid"

She did not call herself a concubine because she truly felt his care for her and his fear of losing her.

Something in her heart was slowly loosening.

At this moment, she didn't want to consider herself as his concubine, but as herself.

Mo Qiyuan held the person in his arms as if he had found something he had lost, without saying a word.

He had experienced the fear of losing her twice, and he was really scared.

Ye Jinyun didn't interrupt him and let him hold her like this.

It was not until the guards came to report that Mo Qiyuan let go of her and instead held her hand tightly in his own.

"Your Majesty, I have spotted two suspicious individuals in the southeast corner of the nearby small garden."

Hearing this, Mo Qiyuan's face darkened and his tone was so cold that it could freeze.

"Bring it up."

Then guards came forward, escorting two women dressed as palace maids.

When Ye Jinyun saw the two people being forced to their knees by the guards, he felt that they looked a little familiar.

At this time, Mo Qiyuan said:

"Lift their heads up for me."

"yes".

Then Ye Jinyun couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be them.

Yes, they are the two imperial concubine sisters who should be in the cold palace.

Seeing that it was the two of them, Mo Qiyuan let go of Ye Jinyun's hand, asked someone to take good care of her, then strode forward and grabbed the imperial concubine's neck.

"You two sisters set the fire, right?"

The imperial concubine felt very uncomfortable being pinched by him, but she still stared at him with wide eyes and said word by word:

"I put it there, so why don't you kill me?"

Mo Qiyuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of danger. Of course he would kill her, but there was no rush, he still had something to ask.

"Why are you here? Answer me."

The imperial concubine just sneered at this with her reddened face and said nothing.

Seeing that she refused to say anything, Mo Qiyuan increased the strength of his hands and immediately squeezed the imperial concubine until she couldn't breathe, but she still refused to say anything.

At this time, another guard came to report, "Your Majesty, the two eunuchs guarding outside the cold palace are dead."

Hearing this, Mo Qiyuan understood instantly, "You have helpers, right? Tell me, who are they?"

But the imperial concubine, whose neck was being strangled by Mo Qiyuan, kept gritting her teeth and remained silent no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Mo Qiyuan instantly became furious. With a "crack", he broke the imperial concubine's neck.

Chu Mingrou, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but shudder when she saw her sister being strangled to death by the emperor.

Mo Qiyuan saw her reaction. He left the dead concubine behind and walked towards Chu Mingrou step by step.
