I knew that Qian Ning's mother lived in the cold palace, that's why she was so anxious that she even rushed in without caring about her own health.
I was secretly preparing to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, so I naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. Fortunately, the fire had just started and no one came over yet. I took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and climbed in through the window at the back.
In ancient times, houses were covered with cloth and gauze curtains, which were extremely easy to catch fire. In just a few minutes, the entire house was burned beyond recognition.
I tore off a piece of cloth, soaked it in the well nearby, and then poured it all over my body. Then I quickly rushed into the palace to look for Qian Ning who had run away to an unknown place.
I moved quickly, but the cold palace was too big. When I found Qian Ning, she was already trapped in the room.
I looked at the house that was about to collapse, gritted my teeth and rushed in.
I don’t know if I will disappear if I die here, but I know that if Qian Ning dies, then those who died, those teammates, Xiao Ding, Qin Lan and others, will never have a chance of survival.
Therefore, no matter what the cost, I must ensure the safety of Princess Qian Ning.
At least she can't die until her resentment subsides.
As soon as I rushed into the room, I felt a wave of heat hitting me, and my face was burning. I looked at Qian Ning, who was trapped under the edge of the bed, and rushed towards her. I picked her up and asked worriedly, "Qian Ning, are you okay?"
However, when I saw her expression as if she had seen a ghost, I realized how badly my character was ruined.
I couldn't help but touch my nose, thinking that it doesn't matter if it collapses, as long as it can change Qian Ning's ending, everything else can be ignored.
"I... cough... I'm fine!" Qian Ning was stunned for a long time before she answered tremblingly. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was choked by the smoke and dust in the air and started coughing repeatedly. Her pretty face turned red.
I was stunned, knowing that the smoke and dust in this room were poisonous. Inhaling too much would leave sequelae or even cause death by poisoning. Without thinking, I put the wet cloth covering my mouth and nose directly on her face.
After completing the set of movements, I realized what I had done belatedly. Seeing her eyes suddenly widen and her face flush, I coughed awkwardly, glared at her fiercely, and said, "Don't think too much. I just don't want to hold a corpse. Keep it well. If you dare to take it away, I will not forgive you!"
Qian Ning nodded blankly, seemingly unable to react.
When I stood up holding her and prepared to walk out of the house, I saw her suddenly pulling my clothes anxiously and looking sadly at the female corpse on the bed that had been burned to charcoal.
Looking at the burnt corpse, my heart sank suddenly. I couldn't help but hold her tighter and continued to rush out the door.
Unfortunately, due to this brief delay, the entire facade collapsed and it was impossible to get out.
I turned around and looked around the room, and found a low window that I could go out through. Without thinking, I ran over and threw Qian Ning out through the window.
Then I jumped out as well. As soon as I stood on the ground, I felt a dark shadow covering my head.
I was startled and subconsciously turned my head to look.
I noticed a collapsed beam falling towards Qian Ning. I was startled and rushed towards her without thinking. The next moment, I felt a pain in my back and my whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince... Are you okay?" The little girl under him was obviously frightened and even her speech was stuttering.
I looked at the little girl I was protecting and said unconsciously, "It's okay, I'm glad you're okay."
I would be sorry if something happened to you.
I endured the pain in my back and lifted the beam that was pressing on me. I listened to the footsteps approaching from the front of the yard. Suddenly, I pulled Qian Ning up from the ground and hid behind a tree. I whispered a warning, "Don't tell anyone I've been here, okay?"
Qian Ning obviously didn't know what was going on and just nodded blankly.
I looked at the group of people who were about to come over, and when I saw her nod, I quickly ran out through the small door next to her.
You have to know that I am the crown prince. Not to mention that it is hard to explain why I ran to the cold palace, if the emperor who dotes on the crown prince knew that I was injured, and that I was injured while saving Qian Ning, she would probably be dead.
Not to mention that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, for that emperor, apart from this prince whom he had to favor, there was nothing he couldn't bear to give up.
When I returned to the prince's bedroom, I didn't dare call the maid. I could only endure the pain and bandage myself. The pain made me sweat coldly.
Seven days later, my injuries were finally healed, and I finally didn't have to stay in the bedroom anymore and could go out and run around.
Thinking about how Qian Ning had been bullied during this period, I walked towards the cold palace with some anxious steps. That was related to my life and property.
There must not be any accidents.
As soon as she reached the gate of the cold palace, she saw that the group of naughty kids who were looking for trouble had blocked Qian Ning by a pond again, laughing maliciously.
"Oh... have you become smart, you little bitch? You even learned to ask the Crown Prince to back you up? Don't you see what kind of character you have? You are not even worthy of carrying shoes for this prince, yet you dare to seduce the Crown Prince? You deserve to die!" It was the child in the black robe again, who forced Qian Ning to retreat step by step.
"She is not only a little bitch now, but also a jinx. Look, wasn't her mother killed by her? The corpse was burned to charcoal in the cold palace, beyond recognition. Tsk..." A child wearing a moon-white brocade robe continued.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the little girl, who had been quietly being forced to retreat, suddenly raised her head in anger, her eyes red as she rushed towards the boy in the white brocade robe, shouting, "I'm not a jinx, and I didn't bring death to my mother. I didn't! I didn't!"
Two black marks were instantly left on the boy's moon-white brocade robe. He seemed to have a serious obsession with mysophobia. His eyes suddenly became gloomy, and there was a hint of coldness in his gaze as he looked at Qian Ning.
I was suddenly startled and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of my heart.
Sure enough, the next moment the boy's expression suddenly became fierce, and he raised his hand to push Qian Ning away, and then kicked her out of satisfaction.
Qian Ning had been forced to the edge of the pond by them, and was suddenly pushed away. After all, she was a girl, and her strength was not as great as that of a boy, so she was pushed away in an instant.
But before she could feel the pain or show a painful expression, she was kicked in the abdomen again, and then her whole body suddenly flew into the air and fell into the lake with a splash.
I watched this scene with my own eyes and wanted to run over, but it was too late.
