Time stopped for a few seconds, and Li Jinan stared at the fire, his eyes full of despair and fear.
"No, no."
His chest was heaving violently and his whole body was shaking.
After realizing what was happening, he yelled at his servants at the top of his lungs, "Go put out the fire! She can't die!"
“She can’t die!!”
Li Jinan ran frantically towards Xu Lingyi's residence.
His crazy look shocked everyone present.
For the first time, the guests directly felt the affection that King Changshan had for his former queen.
In the past, they thought that the love between husband and wife was fake. If they really loved each other, how could they easily marry someone else?
Now I know that the rumors are true.
Today, almost all the servants in Changshan Palace are busy with the wedding banquet and have no time to take care of the former princess.
So when the fire started, very few servants noticed it, only A'ran and a few guards at the door knew about it.
But when they wanted to find someone to put out the fire, they found that there was no one.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!!! The princess is still inside!!! If anything happens to the princess, can you bear the responsibility?"
"But we can't get in. Everyone is busy with the wedding banquet in the front hall... How can we put out the fire with just a few people..."
"I'll go call for help! Go find the prince, and you guys find a way to break down the door!!"
A'ran's face was covered with tears and his hands were shaking with anxiety.
This is also the reason why Cui Yu chose to kill Xu Lingyi on such an important day as her wedding.
Today is the best opportunity. With the right time, right place and right people, Xu Lingyi will surely be left without anyone to rescue her.
A'ran ran so fast that he didn't notice that someone was ambushing him on the way.
“Hmm…”
She was tripped by the rope that suddenly appeared and fell directly to the ground. The fall was so heavy that A'ran couldn't get up for a long time.
"The princess is still waiting for me..."
A'ran noticed that a figure flashed by just now.
She knew that the fire today was deliberately started by someone who wanted to kill the princess.
She used all her strength to stand up and ran forward.
When he finally reached the front hall, he bumped into Li Jinan.
Seeing a group of people running forward desperately, A'ran knew that the princess had been rescued.
Finally, he collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.
But when Li Jinan and his men arrived, the fire had already become too big.
Seeing the guards standing blankly at the door, Li Jinan was furious. He grabbed one of them and said with a stern look:
"Why don't you go in and save the princess? Why don't you put out the fire instead of just standing here and watching? Are you dead?"
"Your Majesty, please spare me! The princess's residence is sealed tightly! It's not that I don't want to save her, but I simply can't get in!"
Li Jinan suddenly lost his strength, his hands trembled constantly, and he stared blankly at the raging fire.
Then I remembered, it was him! He was the one who sealed Xu Lingyi's house!
He raised the courtyard wall by several meters, nailed up all the windows, and sealed it tightly inside and out.
Especially after the concubine and Cui Yu broke in, he specially asked people to put up several chains at the door to ensure that Xu Lingyi could not escape.
But he never thought about...what would she do if she encountered danger?
He just thought that as long as he was there, no one in the Changshan Palace could harm her...
Li Jinan was trapped in the cold, the blood in his body froze, and he was gasping for breath.
Fortunately, Wang Quan still had his wits about him: "Prince...the key."
Wang Quan took the key directly from Li Jinan's waist and anxiously opened the chain of the courtyard gate.
If the princess died today... Wang Quan didn't dare to imagine what would happen to the Changshan Palace in the future. He was afraid that it would be turned upside down.
Only after Wang Quan opened the door could the servants go in to put out the fire.
During this period, some time was wasted again.
Wang Quan looked at the fire and his heart sank instantly.
It's over.
Wang Quan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Jinan. The prince's face was full of tears at this moment.
This was the first time Wang Quan saw Li Jinan cry.
His face was pale, and he seemed to be stunned, just staring at the fire.
Wang Quan was about to support Li Jinan.
But the next second the prince suddenly rushed in, catching everyone off guard.
When the concubine came over, she saw this scene.
"An'er!!"
The toffee's legs went weak and she felt desperate and collapsed.
This is her only son, the support she will have for the rest of her life.
"Stop the prince! Quickly...quickly stop him!"
If she had known that things would develop to this point, the Concubine Dowager would never have cooperated with Cui Yu in setting the fire.
Whenever she thought of the grandson in Xu Lingyi's belly, the concubine felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
The grandson she had been looking forward to for many years finally came, but she... destroyed him with her own hands.
How could the Concubine not regret it... She just wanted a grandson and didn't care who gave birth to him. It would be even better if he was born to a noble lady.
If she had known that Xu Lingyi could give birth, she would never have asked the Empress Dowager for permission to marry her.
Wang Quan was the one who had quick eyes and hands. He saw that the prince was about to rush into the flames.
He knew very well that if the prince died here today, they would probably be buried with him.
Wang Quan used all his strength to move forward.
Finally, when the prince rushed into the fire, she hugged him tightly.
The concubine's eyes were red: "An'er come back!!"
"If you die, Mother will not be able to live either!"
When the other servants saw that Wang Quan had controlled the prince, they hurried over and pulled Li Jinan out.
Li Jinan was still struggling to get in.
Wang Quan held him down: "Your Highness!!! You can't go in there. The fire is so raging...if you go in, you won't be able to get out."
