"Yue... Yue'er... don't be anxious."

During the tug of war, He Yuerong's shirt was pulled loose a little, revealing more of her beauty.

Xiao Jingrui blushed and quickly held her collar.

"It's thousands of miles from the southwestern border to the capital. In order to conceal my presence, I fabricated the illusion of an invasion by the Nanzhi Kingdom to attract He Huaiyuan's attention, while at the same time I led 3,000 light cavalry through the dense forest all night long. I was able to sneak in and save you when the palace was on fire."

"The palace is heavily guarded, and the number of people I brought is too small. Saving you is the limit, how can we sneak into the capital to save His Majesty?"

"What?! Didn't I give you a pass token?! Why did you only bring 3,000 people?!"

He Yuerong didn't notice Xiao Jingrui's tired expression at all, and screamed in dissatisfaction.

But she suddenly reacted, quickly put away her domineering aura, and snuggled into Xiao Jingrui's arms like a white flower.

"Wuwu... It's okay. A'rui, I'm already very grateful that you can come to save me. In this case, let's go quickly. I will find a way to deal with Qi'er's matter myself."

Xiao Jingrui felt a little sorry for her when he saw her like that. He assured her:

"Don't worry, Yue'er. I will take you away first, and then find a way to save the emperor. I will definitely reunite you and your son."

As he spoke, he picked up the light-footed He Yuerong and fled out of the palace. He glanced sideways and saw the Forbidden City in the distance being engulfed by the flames that covered the ground, and he couldn't help but pause.

"Strange, why is there a fire in the Forbidden City?"

He Yuerong's eyes flashed with panic: "Perhaps He Huaiyuan was really punished for taking charge of the government. I wonder if Qi'er is in danger..."

Despite what she said, He Yuerong knew that the emperor was not in the palace at all, but was hidden somewhere else by He Huaiyuan.

Xiao Jingrui had a doubt in his mind, but he immediately dismissed his thoughts. Yue'er has always been kind, and the reason why she has come to this point is because she was forced by the He family. The rumors circulating in the market are even more nonsense.

In order to disrupt the guards of the imperial palaces, Yue Er had people burn down a few uninhabited palaces. Why would she bother to burn down the entire Forbidden City, causing the deaths of hundreds of people?

Xiao Jingrui shook his head and immediately picked up the light and graceful He Yuerong.

"Don't be afraid, Yue'er. I'll take you there."

"Okay." He Yuerong lowered her head shyly and posed at the most beautiful angle towards Xiao Jingrui.

Xiao Jingrui's eyes suddenly became deep, and he winked at someone in the distance while she wasn't paying attention.

Thousands of men in black immediately flew towards the place where they had found Emperor Xiao.

After careful counting, including the guards who were still here to protect their master, the number of people far exceeded the three thousand he told He Yuerong!

…

Firefighting equipment was not well developed in ancient times, and most of the structures in the palace were made of wood. The fire that He Yuerong had carefully arranged burned for a whole night before it was slowly put out.

Countless courtiers, guards, palace maids, eunuchs and masters of various palaces who remained in the palace at that time were killed or injured.

Although the moat blocked the fire, nearby residents were not affected by the fire, but they were affected by the thick smoke that filled the city. The symptoms were mild, such as difficulty breathing and tears in the eyes, while those who inhaled more thick smoke developed pneumonia and heart failure.

The Forbidden City was completely burned down to a pile of black ash and ruins.

But everyone knew that what was completely burned down was not only the Forbidden City, but also the last bit of faith that the people of Southern Qi had in the imperial court.

From then on, the prestige of the imperial court was completely lost, and various princes in various places successively declared themselves kings.

The members of the Sheng family disguised themselves as ordinary wealthy people and drove northwest for five days, finally arriving at the junction of Shigu County and Yuquan County.

The northwest of Southern Qi was vast and sparsely populated, and they had been traveling along remote roads, so they did not encounter any trouble along the way.

It was almost the beginning of the You hour, and the eldest son of the Sheng family once again found a secluded cave that was sheltered from the wind to rest.

In order to avoid being exposed, except for a few close guards, everyone else followed them from a distance.

The adults put down their bags and started to do their own things, while Sheng Nanxi and Gu Yuancheng ran to the snow to the side and made a snowman.

The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and Sheng Nanxi's shovel suddenly stopped. She turned around and saw a very plain carriage speeding towards her. Through the swaying curtains, she could vaguely see an overly delicate and pale face.

"It's Big Brother! Mom! Grandma! Dad! Big Brother is back!"

Sheng Nanxi's eyes lit up instantly, and she ran towards the carriage on her short legs.

In the car, Sheng Yuhan could hear his younger sister's excited shouts from a distance, and his heart was filled with a tinge of sweetness.

As a result, as soon as he lifted the door curtain, he saw the girl he missed day and night rushing towards him like a cannonball.

However, the snow in front of her was too thick. Sheng Nanxi lost her balance and fell into the thick snow in front of her!

"Xi'er's heart!"

Sheng Yuhan was shocked, and without thinking, he hurried forward a few steps to pick up Sheng Nanxi who was about to fall to the ground.

But suddenly, a creature grabbed Sheng Nanxi by the back of her collar and lifted her up.

"Goose goose goose—"

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made 께奶包 laugh out loud.

"Don't worry, Gu Yuancheng. I'm fine!" Sheng Nanxi pinched Gu Yuancheng's fat cheeks to comfort him.

She actually had time to jump away, but she didn't expect Gu Yuancheng to be so quick and pick her up before she could react.

Gu Yuancheng was helpless and gently touched her head. The two of them seemed to suddenly think of something and turned around with horror on their faces:

"Big Brother, can you leave now?!"

"Yes...yeah, you can walk suddenly?"

Sheng Yuhan was too worried about Sheng Nanxi before, so he stood up almost subconsciously. Now he was also shocked when he reacted.

But suddenly, she felt her legs go limp and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Gu Yuancheng, Sheng Nanxi:!!!
