"Hahaha, die, die, let's die together!"
"I'm not going to survive anyway."
"Go to hell!"
Yue'er, dressed in blood-stained clothes, was dancing madly outside the side yard. The torch in her hand sometimes lit the haystack, sometimes the eaves, then she poured in a bucket of kerosene, picked up a tinder and lit it.
She was mumbling a mess of curses, her eyes were dull, and she moved left and right, her face jumping in the light of the fire.
She blocked the gate of the courtyard with a泔水车 and put on a thick lock. She had thrown the key into the dry well.
Since we are all going to die, let’s die together!
When the screams and flames attracted other people in the mansion, Yue'er was caught and tied to a big tree nearby.
The servants and maids quickly brought water from all around, but their speed was no match for the burning kerosene, and in a moment the side room was burned into a ball.
"Open the door, open the door! Quick, move the car!"
The泔水车 was pushed directly to the side of the fire, and then the servants came with wood and knocked on the door.
The big iron lock couldn't be opened at all, so the wooden door had to be smashed open.
But the flames had already burst out, and even the firefighters didn't dare to move too far forward.
"The prince has ordered us to risk our lives to save people!"
The housekeeper came and immediately urged the servants to do something.
Basins and buckets of water were poured out, but the flames grew stronger and stronger. Yue'er's wild laughter seemed ferocious and domineering in the night illuminated by the fire.
In the side room, Wang Yi no longer cared about shocking things.
She threw all the tattered coats and quilts in the house into the pond in the space to soak them, and then wrapped everyone in them.
They also used the silk and satin looted from the kidnappers to make everyone wrap them around their mouths and noses.
The family members had no time to ask where the water and bedding came from. Everyone tried to curl up as much as possible and rushed out the door, crowding into the middle of the yard.
Fortunately, this side yard was quite large, and the kerosene around did not flow over.
The smoke and scorching flames were suffocating. Jin Bao and Yin Bao angrily smashed the door with bricks and tiles, but the door did not move at all.
Wang Yi searched through all the containers, but all he found was a wooden barrel, a wooden basin and a big pot.
She put the water in a pot and poured it over the place where the flames were coming from, regardless of who was doing it. She also quietly poured water from the pond directly onto the surrounding ground.
"Help! Help!"
Fortunately, the fire in this side courtyard was inside the mansion, and it was quickly controlled and slowed down by the servants outside.
The gate finally couldn't bear the weight and was smashed open by people outside using wooden stakes.
Several fully armored soldiers rushed in and helped the Li family members out one by one.
“Boom!”
The wooden frame of the side room collapsed under the weight. Fortunately, they all escaped, otherwise they would have died.
Wang Yi gasped in fear, looked at the sea of fire, turned around and looked at the person tied to the tree with vicious eyes.
“Snap—”
"You have such a cruel heart! You actually wanted to burn our whole family alive!"
Wang Yi's heart skipped a beat when it felt cold to the touch.
I saw Yue'er smiling with her head tilted, blood gushing out of her mouth and tongue. I don't know when she had bitten her tongue to commit suicide.
"Auntie, she's dead!" Lan Miao exclaimed in shock, and quickly helped Wang Yi back away.
Wang Yi wiped his hands on the big tree next to him in disgust. What bad luck!
"Finally found you. Are you okay?" Zheng Yeheng, supported by the housekeeper, walked over. Seeing Wang Yi still in the mood to hit someone, a huge stone finally fell from his heart. Not to mention that Wang Yi had saved him twice, the fact that this fire was definitely caused by him was obvious to Zheng Yeheng. He felt guilty and spoke to her in a more intimate manner.
"Your Highness is truly blessed with good fortune!" Wang Yi gritted his teeth, mocked him for his unlucky fate, and turned away.
"Big sister, don't go. I really feel sorry for you this time. Please go to the upper room and prepare the valuable gifts. Come, take big sister and her family to have a good rest."
Wang Yi endured it and didn't get angry again. Without a solution to the poison, the prince wouldn't let her go, so she could only hold back her anger for now.
"Don't worry, big sister. After the poison is cured, I will definitely give you a generous gift to calm you down."
"I don't need to be calmed down, I need to be safe! I hope the prince can ensure that we can leave the palace alive, otherwise, your life will be in vain whether it is saved or not!"
Zheng Yeheng was so ashamed by what Wang Yi said that he moved them to the front yard and protected them with his personal guards.
The noise was blocked by the winding garden, like an echo lost in the cracks of time, inexplicably seeming distant and quiet.
The princess sat on the dressing table with her hair loose, looking out the window at the fire outside with an uncertain expression.
Suddenly she immediately returned to her bed, covered herself with the quilt and acted as if she was asleep.
The shadowy figure stood outside her bedroom and kicked it open.
"How courageous, Princess!"
Zheng Yeheng stepped into the princess's bedroom, and the people behind him hurriedly turned on the lights. Yun'er immediately rolled over and knelt on the ground in panic.
"Your Majesty? Why are you here?"
The princess pretended to have just been woken up and looked at Zheng Yeheng in confusion.
Zheng Yeheng showed no mercy, but took a step forward, panting, grabbed her hair, and brought it close to his face. His eyes were filled with disgust and hatred.
"For the sake of the child, I will not kill you today. You are such a vile woman. You are disgusting!"
Throwing the princess aside, a few strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, but the princess's expression remained unchanged, just a little embarrassed.
"If you stop being so petty, I might still be able to keep you by my side to spend my old age. Otherwise, go and reunite with your eldest son in the underworld."
Bang!
The door was tightly shut, and the princess fell back to the ground. The pain in her scalp was burning, but not as severe as the pain in her heart.
