Mumu scratched her head. "You mean... Consort Duan isn't someone to be trifled with?"
Su Chen nodded. "The women in the harem are not easy to get along with."
“But this servant feels that Your Highness is a good person,” Mumu said earnestly.
Su Chen shook her head. "Everything in the palace is ruthless; who knows when hearts will change? However... we will try our best to stay true to ourselves, and if anyone provokes us, we will show no mercy!"
"Mumu will not let Her Majesty be bullied!" Mumu clenched her fist.
Su Chen chuckled and flicked her forehead. "Yes, our Mu Mu is the best!"
Neither of them knew that a deadly storm was about to strike them.
Su Chen was having trouble sleeping in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, when she suddenly smelled a burning smell.
Su Chen quickly sat up and called out, "Mu Mu, can you smell something burning?"
"Mumu?!"
Given that Mumu is trained in martial arts, her senses should be exceptionally sharp at all times. So why is she not responding when I call her now?
Su Chen rolled over and got up, ignoring the pain in her shoulder, and hurriedly pushed open the door, looking at Mu Mu who was fast asleep.
The smell of burning outside grew stronger. Su Chen looked out the window and saw flames raging across the sky.
Su Chen tried to shake Mu Mu, but she couldn't wake up no matter how hard she tried, so she had to bear the pain and carry her on her back.
As soon as Su Chen put Mu Mu on her back, she couldn't help but cry out in pain.
He filled a bucket with water, poured it on the bed sheet, covered Mumu, and rushed out of the sea of fire.
The flames relentlessly scorched the sheets, and even after being soaked in water, some areas were still burned and scalded Su Chen's skin.
But this little bit of heat and pain is nothing compared to life.
Su Chen finally carried Mu Mu out of the sea of fire, collapsing to the ground, exhausted.
Mumu woke up after falling and quickly helped Suchen up.
"Is Your Highness alright?" Mumu asked, tears welling in her eyes. "Your shoulder is bleeding."
Looking at the raging fire in the Cold Palace, Su Chen smiled bitterly; the vegetables in the backyard were no longer edible.
...
In Chuxiu Palace, Consort Shu, dressed in light clothing, was feeding grapes to His Majesty.
His Majesty looked at what kind of book it was, and then consciously opened his mouth and ate the grapes that were fed to him.
"Your Majesty, it is late, you should retire for the night." Consort Shu leaned down, her breath sweet as orchids.
His Majesty put down his book and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
His Majesty asked in a loud voice, "What is it?"
A shrill voice replied from outside, "Your Majesty, the Cold Palace..."
His Majesty frowned. "What happened to the Cold Palace?"
"Fire has broken out in the Cold Palace, and Consort Chen's fate is unknown!"
The young king suddenly stood up.
Consort Shu, standing to the side, had a strange look in her eyes.
"Find him alive or dead! Find him!"
"yes!"
The king turned around and said gently, "My beloved consort, I cannot stay the night."
After saying that, he turned around and followed Lian Hai out of the Chuxiu Palace gate.
"To the Cold Palace." The young monarch's face darkened.
Lian Hai said loudly, "Set up the carriage..."
The monarch gestured, "No need, just go."
...
The Cold Palace.
Su Chen watched as the cold palace turned into a hot palace, and then saw many palace servants carrying buckets to put out the fire, turning it back into a charcoal palace.
Perhaps it was because of her simple clothes, or perhaps because her face was covered in soot, but no one recognized her.
until……
"Consort Chen?" A voice came from behind.
Su Chen turned her head and looked at a young man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
In those days, the only person in the palace who would dare to wear yellow with a dragon on it was probably the emperor, right?
Su Chen dared not be impolite and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The young monarch snorted, "No need."
