Yu Jianxuancai wanted to run away from the palace with He Xinhui and his concubines, but he didn't expect Shu Jiaying to lead a group of common people to run towards the palace.
Yu Jianxuan hurriedly asked, "Princess Chen, what are you doing? Didn't you say Fengyun Town is the safest place? Why did you bring such a large group of people to my palace?"
"Your Majesty, it's too late to rush to Fengyun Town now. The roads have been completely destroyed, and the casualties are rising. Now the only place where we can take refuge is the Imperial Palace. Your Majesty... please allow these people to enter the Imperial Palace."
Knowing they couldn't escape Ningcheng, Yu Jianxuan said to the people rushing to the palace, "Come in, but you must keep order."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The people finally had a place to take refuge, and they cherished this opportunity very much. Under Shu Jiaying's command, everyone entered the palace one after another.
Not long after, Kang Ningxia and the people from Weiyuan Escort Agency also fled here. Everyone consciously helped Shu Jiaying maintain order for the people to enter the palace.
I thought I had some breathing time, but just after closing the palace gate, Yu Jianxuan received news from the high priest, saying that volcanoes were erupting in various places, and the hot lava had destroyed one village after another. The people of Luosuo Kingdom had suffered countless casualties, and there was also a risk of a volcanic eruption on Wanshou Mountain, which was closest to the palace.
Shu Jiaying looked up at the Wanshou Mountain which was already roaring.
The top of Wanshou Mountain was right above the imperial palace. She asked Yu Jianxuan to bring a map. Fortunately, there were no other mountains around. That meant that if Wanshou Mountain could withstand the crisis of the volcanic eruption, the people taking refuge in the imperial palace would have a chance of survival. Otherwise, everyone would be buried under the lava.
This was a result Shu Jiaying absolutely did not want to see. She looked at everyone looking at Wanshou Mountain with a sad heart, but in her heart she prayed for the people who wanted to save their lives. She looked at Yu Chenfeng again.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The huge roar of the volcano startled Shu Jiaying, and it was because of this sound that she secretly made a decision in her heart.
Walking to Yu Chenfeng's side, Shu Jiaying held his hand tightly. She smiled bitterly and said, "Achen, it seems that no one can escape this time. If...if we can't see each other soon, will you...will you feel heartbroken?"
Yu Chenfeng shook his head and smiled back at Shu Jiaying.
"How could that be? You're such a silly girl. We won't be separated. Although we're destined to die this time, at least we'll have each other by our sides, Yingying... With you by my side, I'll have no regrets or complaints even if I die... No, I've forgotten someone. You're pregnant with our child. If you die... the three of us will die together!"
"Oh……"
Tears rolled down Shu Jiaying's eyes. She nodded, but she said in her heart, "No, if I have to die...it's me and the baby in my belly who will die. Ah Chen, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't go to hell with you, because you still have to stay in this world for me and our child."
After wiping away her tears, Shu Jiaying looked towards the crowd again. At this time, she saw a family of three who were wearing ordinary cloth clothes but could not hide their noble aura.
Shu Jiaying walked up to the family of three.
