Covered in smoke and fire, she was in a sorry state like she had been rolling around in the black ash! Her clothes were filled with large and small holes and the burn marks were very clear. There were even burn marks on her skin and between her brows, there was a bit of exhaustion ….. However, her eyes were incomparably bright as she looked into the distance. This was a power that no one could shake!
No matter how difficult it was, no matter how bad the situation was, she dared to charge through mountains of blades and seas of fire!
Si Wuyan couldn't help thinking about how she had jumped into the flames. The water vapor had risen and the surrounding flames were only an inch away from them.
They had truly walked through the flames and sought survival in the flames!
Whenever there was a spark, she would protect herself first. There was a second when he saw the spark burn a circle around her body. He felt like there was a hole in his heart that was both painful and hot!
He was very clear that GongYimo protecting him was the habit of the strong to protect the weak, but there was an unstoppable impulse that was born in him!
That was, he didn't want to be weak anymore!
Being weak wasn't an excuse, why couldn't he be strong enough to protect her?
The imperial guards' mouths were all wide open. It was clear that this scene had shocked them all!
They watched as GongYimo created smoke with every step she took as she slowly walked through the last path made of flint. They watched as the flames behind her burned the sky and the surging heat made people drip with sweat.
Finally, GongYimo stepped onto clean ground and the last wall of fire behind her collapsed at that moment!
Everyone moved back in fear. Was it the collapse of the wall of fire that scared them or was it GongYimo's appearance that scared them? Was it because she was too frightening that every movement around her could cause them to become frightened birds …
GongYimo bent down and placed Si Wuyan on the ground.
Her face was covered in black ash and her body was covered in sweat. When she lowered her head, there was a white mark on her face that made her look very sorry.
Si Wuyan was also not much better. His body was covered in burn marks and even with her protection, the heat was not something a normal person could withstand. He fell asleep again, but his breathing was still stable.
GongYimo looked into the darkness before raising her head to speak to the terrified Empress Dowager.
"Empress Dowager, I think we can make a deal between us."

Bai Qiyou regained his senses after being glanced at by GongYimo. Not only him, even the monkey beside him had a shocked expression.
The scene of GongYimo walking out of the fire just now was still lingering in his mind. That tragic figure in the raging flames was actually better than countless white robes fluttering in the snow, countless luxurious gowns … It was also the first time he deeply understood that GongYimo and he … were not people of the same world. The distance between them was not shorter than the distance between them and the sea of fire.
Seeing that he was dejected, the little monkey scratched him, indicating that it was time for him to get down to business!
It turned out that after GongYimo entered the palace, she had specially looked for him to do something.
Shang Mingxi's nature was obvious. If there were no benefits, he would definitely protect himself first! Therefore, if Si Wuyan died, Shang Mingxi would definitely not say anything. Even if he was still alive, he would probably hesitate and consider the situation.
The Empress Dowager would definitely consider that Shang Mingxi was not dead and would not let Shang Mingxi follow her.
Bai Qiyou's task was very simple. He wrote a letter and sent the little monkey to inform Shang Mingxi that his master was not dead!
There was a risk in doing this. Now on the Empress Dowager's side, Shang Mingxi was above everyone else and Si Wuyan was dying and still waiting for him to save him. What he would choose would depend on what Bai Qiyou "said". To be more precise, it would depend on what GongYimo "said".
This task was both simple and complicated. However, GongYimo could not leave now, so he became the key!
Only when he was writing the letter, he once again sighed in his heart. He and GongYimo were not the same kind of people.
She was a woman who dared to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Not only was she brave, but her strategy was also unmatched. Most of the time, she was simple-minded. However, when she was serious, her brain was not known how it developed. She would think a hundred steps before taking one step!
For example, she would snatch the child in advance and inform him in advance. She would predict Shang Mingxi's character in advance and consider whether he would hesitate … She even thought of what to say to persuade Shang Mingxi. He was just relaying it.
Bai Qiyou still remembered GongYimo laughing and saying that if Si Wuyan died, he did not need to write the letter because Shang Mingxi would not come.
She was so sure?

Dong Luanyi used to think that all the women in the world, except for her, were useless. She had everything she wanted since she was young. Whatever she wanted to do, she only needed to give an order and others would do it for her.
Later, she became the Empress and the Empress Dowager. Her ambition grew. Not to mention women, she even felt that no man could be on par with her. However … she met GongYimo, a girl who was half her age but was unstoppable!
She would be her biggest obstacle!
Sensing the extreme danger, Dong Luanyi's eyes gradually sharpened. Now, it was obvious that GongYimo's strength had decreased greatly. She was no match for Hai Qing.
Therefore, if she killed GongYimo now, no one could stop her! Only by killing this big trouble could she be at ease!
However, at this moment, GongYimo suddenly asked her if she wanted to make a deal.
Dong Luanyi thought about it again and again and felt that it was best to kill her! After all, this person gave her too much of a threat!
"Princess, if you want to make a deal, you should talk to the King of Hell!"
Her eyes were full of murderous intent, which made GongYimo laugh. "If you kill me, you won't be able to escape death. Cough cough … Do you still want to make a move?"
Dong Luanyi's face darkened. She sat high up in the carriage but felt uneasy. "Don't be an alarmist. Will the Emperor of Dai Yu state really start a war for you?"
GongYimo said, "Start a war for me … Maybe not. But Yuqi is in internal strife now. Previously, the Dai Yu state did not interfere with your internal affairs out of benevolence and morality. However, if you kill me, you will give the Dai Yu state an excuse to start a war. The consequences will be unpredictable. After all … human nature is greedy."
Dong Luanyi had never felt so troubled and aggrieved!
"So you came to Yuqi to help my enemy, but I can't do anything to you?"
GongYimo smiled, revealing her white teeth on her disheveled face.
"Theoretically, you're right!"
"You!"
Yes, GongYimo was fearless. She came to Yuqi alone. So what if the world knew that she came to help Si Wuyan? A person's power was limited. If she killed her in the name of fear, others would only laugh at Yuqi for being paranoid, or that she did it on purpose.
But … but no one knew GongYimo's ability. She could fight against ten thousand soldiers alone. Dong Luanyi couldn't say anything.
"Haha … If that's the case, then tell me, what kind of deal do you want to make?"
Dong Luanyi had been the Empress Dowager for a long time. She quickly suppressed her anger and calmly decided to listen to GongYimo first.
