In the Yikun Palace, a fire was burning raging.

In the side hall, Shu Wanyi held a torch in one hand, but her eyes were always looking towards the door.

"His Majesty is here."

His Majesty has finally arrived.

"I have stayed in this cold palace, Yikun Palace, for such a long time, and His Majesty has never come to visit me once.

But when the fire broke out, the Emperor still came. ”

After Shu Wanyi finished speaking, a hint of sarcasm couldn't be suppressed from appearing on the corners of her mouth.

His body was shaking, and the torch in his hand was shaky and almost fell to the ground.

"careful!"

Shu Wanyi almost dropped the torch in her hand, which scared Zhou Linghai behind her so much that he immediately spoke out.

"My queen, cough...My queen, if you don't run away, you won't be able to escape if the fire gets any bigger."

Zhou Linghai stumbled forward and tried to snatch the torch from Shu Wanyi's hand.

He didn't know why he became like this when he woke up.

The fire burned so fast, but he didn't react at all.

Zhou Linghai couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Empress, let's get out of here quickly." The smoke was so thick that every time Zhou Linghai spoke, it seemed as if all his strength was drained away.

"Go out?" The hand holding the torch trembled. Shu Wanyi turned to look at Zhou Linghai's face. She was stunned at first and then began to laugh.

"Go out? You mean go out?"

"With such a big fire, how do you think we can get out?!"

Every time she moved, the torch in her hand swayed.

Seeing the fire burning behind him, Zhou Linghai felt uneasy.

"Ahem, my lady, please stop holding it up. It's really dangerous if the fire gets too big."

Zhou Linghai took big strides and wanted to rush over, but after taking a few steps, he felt dizzy.

He held his chest and gradually stopped.

"Ling Hai, we can't get out." Shu Wanyi held a torch and approached him step by step.

When those eyes met Zhou Linghai's gaze, they were empty without a trace of emotion.

"Why? Why can't I get out?" The smoke was too thick and he coughed heart-wrenchingly, but Shu Wanyi seemed to have been prepared in advance. Standing in the fire, apart from looking a little disheveled, there was no other difference.

Zhou Linghai covered his chest and gradually knelt down with his trembling body.

"There are people outside. If you go out, our relationship will be exposed."

Shu Wanyi pointed her finger outside. The raging fire behind her was reflected on her face, and her eyes showed indifference.

"You don't want others to know about our relationship, do you?"

Zhou Linghai felt his chest was getting more and more painful, and the palm of his hand that was covering his chest gradually fell down weakly.

His lips trembled, his eyes were completely confused, and he couldn't stop coughing: "Then, what should I do?"

"My lady, the fire is too big. If it continues like this, we will be burned to death."

Zhou Linghai knelt on the ground, but his eyes were still looking around.

I want to see if there is a way out.

"You don't have to look for it." Shu Wanyi walked forward step by step and stopped only when she was in front of Zhou Linghai.

“I can’t get out.”

"Empress?" Zhou Linghai suddenly raised his head. He was sitting on the ground. The fire behind him was gradually spreading, as if it was going to burn him.

"Are we really going to die here today?" At the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Linghai couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

"It's you." Shu Wanyi lowered her head.

She was obviously shorter and thinner than him, and women were naturally disadvantaged in this aspect.

But at this moment, she stood before him holding a torch.

His body standing straight appears exceptionally tall.

"You can't get out."

As soon as she finished speaking, the torch in Fang Shulan's hand also fell down.

It hit Zhou Linghai squarely.

The fire spread rapidly and the fabric of his clothes was soon ignited.

Zhou Linghai screamed in pain and subconsciously reached out to her for help.

"Don't come over here!" Fang Shulan stepped back in fear.

Zhou Linghai lowered his outstretched palm and dared not move forward.

"I won't go over." He fell to the ground and rolled desperately. The agonizing screams of pain were completely swallowed up by the fire, and soon his whole body was surrounded by fire.

"My queen, why?" Zhou Linghai felt as if he was surrounded by a fireball, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

: "My Lady, why, why do you do this to me?"

"Why?"

The fire was too big. Shu Wanyi watched the people tumbling in the fire and retreating step by step.

The fire started from Zhou Linghai's direction, and behind her was the only road.

Even if Zhou Linghai didn't come towards her again.

But she still retreated desperately until she reached the safe area.

Only then did Shu Wanyi breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Zhou Linghai who gradually lost his voice in the fire.

There was a flash of pity in her eyes, but it disappeared after a moment.

"No reason."

Fang Shulan raised her hand and placed it on her belly, looking at her flat belly that had not yet bulged: "I am a mother, I must protect my child."

The movement in the fire seemed to rise up for a moment, and then lay quietly in the same place.

Apart from the occasional cries of pain, Zhou Linghai never took another step towards her.

Shu Wanyi stood in the corner, waiting quietly.

Until there was no more movement in the fire. Even the sound of breathing was gone.

She finally spoke: "You are not worthy to be the mother of my child."

How could her child be the product of adultery?

Her child must have the most honorable status in the world.

The hoarse voice seemed to contain bitterness amid the fire: "My child will definitely become the most honorable person in this world."

After Fang Shulan finished speaking, she took one last look at the bodies engulfed in the fire.

Then he covered his mouth and nose and walked backwards.

"Help..." Shu Wanyi stumbled towards the small door.

The entire Yikun Palace was on fire, except for this place where the fire had not yet started.

Shu Wanyi had made arrangements in advance since she wanted to get rid of Zhou Linghai. This is a side hall with a small door that basically no one knows about.

She had taken away any flammable items early on and placed water tanks along the way.

The fire started and it looked scary from the outside, but it would take some time to burn all the way through this small door.

Shu Wanyi ran towards the small door, breaking water jars along the way.

She ran straight to the door and saw the guards who had been saved. She then pretended to collapse and fell to the ground: "Help...Help..."

Shu Wanyi stretched out her hand, her fingertips trembling as she tried to ask for help.

The guards were holding water bags, and when they saw the man, they shouted excitedly, "He's been rescued! He's out!"

The guards hurried forward and helped Shu Wanyi up.

"Your Majesty, Shu Wanyi has been rescued."

When she heard the news, Shen Fu was not surprised at all.

There wasn't even a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After all, this was done by Shu Wanyi herself, so how could she put herself in danger?
