Prince Wu approached Tian Yu and said, "Li Xingyun is waiting for us outside. Come with me."
"It's too late, I can't leave!"
"What happened to your hands?" Prince Wu asked worriedly, looking at his already soaked sleeves.
"It's nothing serious, just a minor injury. Get them out of here quickly!" Tian Yu shouted to the people around her.
"Mr. Tian, let's go together!" Fang Jue said, still unwilling to give up.
"No, you must take the princess and the prince away immediately! Qiu Xue!"
When Qiu Xue came to leave the princess, the princess cried out, "Tian Yu, come back!"
Prince Wu was also dragged back by his ministers, who kept calling out, "Tian Yu! Come back!"
The palace gates had already opened. Tian Yu shook her head and watched everyone walk out of the palace gates. Li Xingyun had already led soldiers to meet them outside the palace gates. When he saw Tian Yu, he rushed forward, but was stopped by someone. Tian Yu glanced at Li Xingyun.
Li Xingyun had no strength to push through the crowd, and could only watch helplessly as Tian Yu called her back. The emperor's soldiers immediately blocked the palace gates, and Wu Yaohui said with a smile, "Now you can hand it over to me!"
"Of course! Your Majesty, you'd better keep your eyes wide open!" Tian Yu smiled and was about to light the fuse.
Wu Yaohui hurriedly stepped back and said, "Do you think they won't die just because they've left the palace?! If you die, I won't let a single one of them go!"
Tian Yu smiled slightly and said, "Your father loves you so much, but unfortunately you don't understand!"
Then he lit the fuse, turned back for one last look at the people outside the palace gate, and silently said, "Take good care of her!"
Princess Li Xingyun and Prince Wu were still desperately trying to break in, but were held back by the crowd. Then, with a deafening explosion, Tian Yu self-destructed in front of everyone. The palace gates collapsed, completely blocking the soldiers. When the smoke cleared, everyone present was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. Some were killed, others were deafened by the blast. Amidst the chaos and shock, the crowd thought the eunuch was indeed calm, even sporting a strange smile.
On the border between Wu and Meng, a figure dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat seemed to sense something. He slowly raised his head and looked towards the direction of Wu's capital. In the darkness, only a pair of bright and deep eyes could be seen. The night wind blew the hem of his clothes, just like the figure on horseback in the past.
