Chu Qingluan's body trembled violently and her pupils suddenly contracted when she heard the words.
At this moment, a loud 'boom' was heard in the distance, and the west wall of the wing room collapsed with sparks flying everywhere.
"Pei Yuan!" She subconsciously wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Zhixia.
"Your Highness, you can't do that!" Zhixia's voice changed, "The fire is too fierce!"
Chu Qingluan dug her nails deep into her palms. She forced herself to calm down at this moment, otherwise, it would be really difficult for Pei Yuan to come out.
She turned around and ordered the guards who were fighting the fire: "Go get the water dragon cart and tear down the east wall. Make sure to rescue General Pei safely!" Her voice seemed terrifyingly calm, but the slightly trembling ending betrayed her emotions.
However, at this critical moment, a black shadow broke through the thick smoke and rushed out.
Pei Yuan was seen staggering and rolling on the ground. The clothes on his back had been burned to pieces, revealing a piece of burned skin.
"Pei Yuan!"
Chu Qingluan didn't care about her manners and walked forward quickly.
Pei Yuan looked up, and the moment he saw Chu Qingluan, his eyes were filled with emotions that were almost out of control.
"Your Highness!" He endured the pain in his back and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm glad you're okay..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly started coughing violently, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the ground.
Chu Qingluan's face suddenly changed, and she shouted sternly: "Imperial Physician! Send for the Imperial Physician!"
She didn't care about etiquette and reached out to support him.
Pei Yuan subconsciously wanted to shrink back because there were outsiders present, but was forcefully held down by Chu Qingluan.
"Don't move, you are too badly injured, hold on a little longer."
Turning back to Zhixia, he said, "Go get me the Snow Jade Cream."
Soon, an imperial physician came hurriedly with a medicine box, gave Pei Yuan's injuries simple treatment, and then placed him in a nearby room and treated his wounds carefully.
Fortunately, he only suffered burns on his back and inhaled some smoke. Although the injuries looked scary, they were not actually very serious.
By the time the imperial physician had treated his wounds and prescribed medicine, half an hour had passed.
As for the banquet, Qin Jiuge and Zhixia were responsible for handling the aftermath.
Although the restaurant was on fire, it was close to the lake and the guests were at the banquet, so no one else was there except Chu Qingluan. The scene was only a little messy when everyone ran around in panic, but there were no casualties.
Just when Zhixia was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Qin Jiuge frowning with a serious look on his face.
"No! There are still two people missing!"
Zhixia had just rubbed his neck when she suddenly stopped.
"who?"
Qin Jiuge handed the booklet in his hand to Zhixia and said in a deep voice: "One is Gu Yanran, and the other is the young master of the Yun family, Yun Yan!"
…
At the same time, on a small road outside the city, an inconspicuous green-covered carriage was speeding along.
"drive!"
The horses were whipped hard and ran wildly all night, causing the carriage to shake continuously.
Gu Yanran was awakened by a shaking. Her temples were still throbbing with pain, and the memories before she fell into a coma came flooding back to her.
Thick smoke, flames, and a pair of soap boots embroidered with cloud patterns...
She sat up suddenly in shock and found herself in a carriage moving at high speed.
Gu Yanran was shocked and quickly lifted the car curtain to take a look. Under the pale moonlight, the rapidly receding bushes and the ridges on the roadside were reflected.
This is clearly a view that can only be seen outside the city!
Gu Yanran was horrified and started slapping the shaft of the cart, screaming.
"Stop the car! Let me down now!"
At this time, the coachman heard the sound and suddenly tightened the reins.
"Whoa!"
The galloping horse suddenly felt pain, raised its front hooves high, and let out a long neigh in the night.
The carriage stopped suddenly.
Gu Yanran lost her balance and nearly fell down.
The next second, the car curtain was roughly opened, revealing Yun Yan's shocked face.
After seeing Gu Yanran's face, his expression suddenly changed and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Why is it you!"
'Yun Yan' suddenly reached out and pinched Gu Yanran's chin, and his voice subconsciously changed into a familiar tone.
"Where's Chu Qingluan?"
Gu Yanran was trembling all over, shocked and scared, but after hearing this familiar voice, she felt like being struck by lightning, and her brain went blank!
"Husband?"
She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the strange face in front of her.
She remembered that this man was called Yun Yan. He had previously stolen the limelight from the young master of the Zhao family at a piano competition and also won the favor of Chu Qingluan.
But why is this voice exactly the same as Qi Che's?
"Let me ask you! Where is Chu Qingluan?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Qi Che increased the force of his movements.
Gu Yanran came back to her senses from the pain and realized that the person in front of her was clearly Qi Che himself!
She was both relieved and sad. Fortunately, the man who kidnapped her was not a stranger. Otherwise, in the middle of the night in the wilderness, even if she managed to escape, her reputation would certainly be ruined.
But Qi Che was different. He was her nominal husband, and she was pregnant with his child. She thought that even for the sake of the child, Qi Che would not go too far.
However, Gu Yanran ultimately overestimated human nature.
"Husband, you hurt me--"
"Shut up!"
"You divorced me a long time ago, who is your husband!"
Qi Che was so angry that his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
He clearly remembered that Chu Qingluan entered this room, but why did it become Gu Yanran now?
