One side was burning the sky, the other was warm and fragrant.
Shang Mingxi lay on the couch with Dong Luanyi in his arms. Beside him was the child who had been kept in the dark. He was blinking his dark eyes and blowing bubbles ignorantly.
Dong Luanyi hugged him coquettishly. She had long forgotten about Lan Ci's death. Right now, she only had eyes for this man, the only man she had ever liked.
"You want to raise him and then raise a puppet?" Shang Mingxi's voice was gentle and soft, without a hint of reluctance. It was as if the dead Emperor was already a thing of the past and he changed his attitude without a trace of unwillingness.
Dong Luanyi was about to answer when someone came to report in a panic!
"Not good, Empress Dowager. That's Princess Gu! That's Princess Gu!"
Dong Luanyi hurriedly got up from the couch and shouted when she saw a person kneeling on the ground in fear.
"Princess Gu has barged in!"
Dong Luanyi was stunned and subconsciously glanced at Shang Mingxi. Seeing that he had no reaction, she shouted, "What are you panicking for? Si Wuyan is dead for sure. The knife that cut him was smeared with Aijia's newly made poison! Normal people will die at the sight of blood. Even if he has a special constitution, he won't be able to last long. By the time GongYimo enters, he will already be dead! "
She didn't know if she was saying this for the servants or the people around her. It was as if she was telling Shang Mingxi that Si Wuyan was already dead and the only person he could rely on was her.
So in her panic, she forgot to ask how the other party entered.
Shang Mingxi heard this but smiled without saying anything.
He patted her back lightly. "Don't be anxious."
Dong Luanyi was a bit embarrassed, and the person reporting to her widened his eyes. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
No wonder the person was so surprised to see Shang Mingxi. He forgot to say that GongYimo found a fake Prince to fool the imperial guards. The Prince was with them, and the child that GongYimo brought was a fake …
Dong Luanyi frowned. "Alright, no need to say anymore. Prepare the carriage. Aijia wants to see what's going on!"
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried. After all, they were killing the Emperor.
Therefore, she was no longer in the mood to continue being affectionate with Shang Mingxi. She hurriedly got up to take a look.
Shang Mingxi wanted to go with them, but Dong Luanyi was afraid that Si Wuyan was really still alive and had been rescued by GongYimo … If that was the case, Shang Mingxi would definitely be up to something again, so she said to Shang Mingxi.
"You stay!"
Seeing her like this, Shang Mingxi nodded. However, he glanced at the person on the ground who was peeping at him with some dissatisfaction.
"I can stay, but the way these people look at me makes me angry."
He didn't sound like he was angry, but Dong Luanyi understood that he was in an awkward situation. Lan Ci was dead, and Si Wuyan's people who had betrayed her appeared here again. It was inevitable that people would look down on her, so she couldn't help but say loudly, "Your status is only second to mine. If anyone displeases you, just kill them!"
Her words were like an imperial edict, so who dared to disobey?
Shang Mingxi gently tidied up her skirt. "Let Hai Qing go with you. GongYimo is very skilled in martial arts. We have to be careful."
Hai Qing was the number one expert in Yuqi.
Dong Luanyi's heart skipped a beat. She felt that Shang Mingxi was genuinely concerned about her, so she nodded subconsciously.
"You should rest."
With that, she hurried out. The group of people made their way to the Secret Dragon Palace. She wanted to see what kind of tricks a person who was bound to die could play!
GongYimo really felt like she was looking around, but there was nowhere to run.
The flames soared into the sky. She couldn't climb over while carrying people. If she tried to climb over, she wouldn't have a foothold and would be injured.
She carried Si Wuyan out of the water tank. Even if the medicine was of the highest quality, if they didn't get out in time, Si Wuyan would still die. Then, everything she had done during this period would be in vain. Yuqi would be out of her expectations.
At this moment, the four sides had been burned into one. There was no opening left. If she wanted to get out, she had to create a hole herself!
At this critical moment, she gritted her teeth and took out a bow from her space. Then, she tied a pin to the front of the arrow and aimed it at a spot in the sea of fire.
Whether she succeeded or died, it all depended on this move!
With a loud bang, sparks exploded. The imperial guards stationed outside looked up and saw the palace behind them exploding into countless sparks that covered the sky!
Before they could figure out what had happened, GongYimo gathered her inner strength in her hand and shot an arrow that was further away!
"Bang!"
Another thunderous boom rang out, and it was as if the earth itself was shaking!
At this moment, they looked down and found that it wasn't just 'seemed', it was really shaking! The entire burning palace was on the verge of collapse!
"It's going to collapse!"
Someone shouted, and everyone quickly moved out of the way! As soon as they moved out of the way, the front half of the palace collapsed. Sparks flew everywhere, and the ground was filled with debris.
The leader of the imperial guards held the child and regretted. If he had known, he wouldn't have let the princess in. If she died in there, what should he do?
The fire was still burning, but the Empress Dowager's sedan chair had arrived. She quickly asked when she arrived.
"What's going on? What was that sound?"
When the leader of the imperial guards heard that the Empress Dowager had arrived, he was afraid that she would punish him, so he quickly went forward to claim credit.
"Empress Dowager, the sound just now was because the palace collapsed. The princess … I'm afraid she died in there. But it's okay. The little prince is still here. He's not injured!"
"The prince?"
Dong Luanyi was puzzled. The leader thought, 'Could it be that the person who sent the message was too anxious and forgot to mention it?'
Therefore, he quickly handed the child in his arms over and said with a fawning expression. "The prince is here!"
Dong Luanyi was stunned and then sneered.
She didn't expect Gong Yi Mo to be prepared for this. She even found a child to pretend to be a prince. It was only natural that these people would be deceived, allowing Gong Yi Mo to enter without much effort.
At this moment, she didn't have the time to scold this person for having a pig brain. She just looked up and stared at the burning palace.
The front and middle halls had collapsed, but the back halls weren't. They were still burning like fire walls, and the heat distorted the air. She couldn't see what was happening inside, but she felt that GongYimo must be dead …
It was good that she was dead. She was the one who asked for it. What could the Dai Yu State say?
Although she thought so, there must be a lot of trouble. She angrily glared at the uneasy leader of the imperial guards and coldly stared at the child in his arms.
"Empress Dowager, if it wasn't to ensure the little prince's safety, I definitely wouldn't have let anyone in … Please forgive me …" He still wanted to defend himself.
Dong Luanyi was so angry that she laughed.
"Since you're so loyal, go to hell!"
Before that person could understand what she meant, his head was chopped off!
Hai Qing quickly caught the child in her arms and ignored the leader who had rolled to the side. The child was splashed with blood and cried loudly. It was very annoying.
"This idiot is holding a bastard's child as a treasure … Why aren't you killing him? It's annoying just looking at him! "
"Yes!"
Hai Qing obeyed and was about to kill the child in her arms when she heard a weak female voice from afar.
"Empress Dowager, aren't you afraid of retribution for killing innocent people?"
