Taking Leng Changxi with him, Chen Shaoxuan quickly disappeared into the night.
Because the sulfur powder was blown up by the wind and fell on every corner of the back garden, it didn't take long for the back garden to be swallowed up by the entire sea of fire. Everyone's attention was firmly attracted by the sudden fire. So, naturally,
No one noticed that two other people escaped from the flames.
Chen Shaoxuan hugged Leng Changxi and hid in the servant's room where there had been no servants for a long time.
Under the dim moonlight, he looked at Leng Changxi's hair that had been burned by the fire and her torn clothes with distressed eyes.
With trembling hands, Chen Shaoxuan slowly touched Leng Changxi's fire-blackened face. Thinking of the scene he just saw, the fear in his heart could not be eliminated no matter what.
With an unstoppable tremor in his voice, Chen Shaoxuan lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Xiao Bao'er, why are you so stupid? Didn't I ask you to wait for me? If it were me, would you, wouldn't you..."
Chen Shaoxuan held the unfinished words in his mouth, not daring to say them out. He didn't even dare to think about the pain that would make him regret it for the rest of his life if he delayed it even a moment.
However, Leng Changxi looked at Chen Shaoxuan's bright smile indifferently. When she heard his words, she casually snorted: "Yes!"
"You!" Chen Shaoxuan looked at her expression, feeling a little annoyed in his heart but reluctant to scold her. Finally, he had to lower his head, bite her lips hard, and then said: "How can you be so stupid?"
"If you don't come, then I will go down to accompany you. Anyway, I have no one else in this world but you." Leng Changxi said it very matter-of-factly, which made Chen Shaoxuan both moved and angry.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me?" Chen Shaoxuan hugged her tightly into his arms, his body still trembling until this moment.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I really don't want to wait any longer. Shaoxuan, my patience is limited." Leng Changxi finally felt a sense of peace in his arms. She was willing to go to hell even now.
"Xiao Bao'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Whenever he remembered that he had forgotten Leng Changxi, Chen Shaoxuan's heart was filled with deep guilt. He could not forgive himself at that time: "I won't, never again.
Such a thing has happened. I will never let you wait for me in this life. I will wait for you next time, okay?" The man did not shed tears easily, but he was not sad yet. At this moment, Chen Shaoxuan's tears were flowing down his cheeks.
It slipped down silently and dripped into Leng Changxi's neck.
"Okay! From now on, I have to wait for you!" Leng Changxi put her arms around Chen Shaoxuan's waist and leaned into Chen Shaoxuan's arms, breathing in the familiar and stable breath deeply.
"Xiao Bao'er, we need to take advantage of the chaos and leave here immediately." Chen Shaoxuan's voice came from above her head.
Leng Changxi nodded and looked up at Chen Shaoxuan seriously: "Go to Li Zhengmen, Lingfeng has prepared a carriage there."
Hearing this, Chen Shaoxuan frowned: "Lingfeng is there, why don't you go with him?"
If Leng Changxi and Lingfeng had left together, perhaps there would not have been the thrilling scene just now.
However, Leng Changxi just smiled indifferently and said softly: "Zhao Yuan found someone to watch me secretly. If I leave with Lingfeng, I will definitely not be able to leave. Besides, even if I leave, Zhao Yuan will still come to see me again."
I simply set a fire and let him think I was dead, so that would be the end of it."
Listening to her words, Chen Shaoxuan frowned a little more tightly: "Since we have arranged our escape route, why can't we see Lingfeng?"
"I sent him away a long time ago and asked him to wait for me at Li's main gate for a quarter of an hour. If I didn't come, he would leave by himself." Leng Changxi said lightly.
"Are you betting with your life whether I will come?" Chen Shaoxuan finally understood Leng Changxi's thoughts, his voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Well. If you come, I will go with you. If you don't come, then I will treat you as dead and see you again in hell." Leng Changxi's voice was soft and indifferent, but it fell deep in Chen Shaoxuan's heart.
Like a red-hot iron, it burns a scar and hurts the heart and lungs.
He had never been so grateful to God at this moment. If he had stayed at least half a hour longer, he would have been separated from Leng Changxi for life or death.
Chen Shaoxuan, who could no longer say a word, bent down and held Leng Changxi in his arms like a treasure, and flew towards Li's main entrance.
Ever since the fire broke out in Wende Palace, the uneasiness in his heart had been growing. Thinking of what Leng Changxi said to him last night, it sounded a bit like his last words.
Lingfeng wanted to run back to the Wende Hall to find out what was going on, but he was afraid that after he left, Leng Changxi would suddenly appear, and his departure would ruin her overall plan.
Therefore, he could only wait stupidly outside the car door, experiencing the feeling of living like a year. Time passed moment by moment, leaving scars on his heart. The appointed quarter of an hour was about to pass, Lingfeng's
His body was shaking uncontrollably, and his fear was tantamount to receiving the news that he had lost his spiritual good.
He had already made up his mind that if he still didn't see Leng Changxi at the appointed time, he would go back to Wende Hall to find out.
However, just as the time came and he suddenly fell into a place of despair, a dark shadow quickly ran in his direction. To Lingfeng, that dark shadow was a beacon of hope.
He stared nervously, trying to see the person's face clearly.
When he finally saw the person coming under the hazy moonlight, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his feet went weak and he almost lost his balance.
And when Lingfeng saw Leng Changxi in Chen Shaoxuan's hand, the pale face instantly became very ugly. Leng Changxi's waist-length black silk was messed up by the fire, and only the root of her neck was left.
Her stunning face turned black, and some places were even burned. The burned sleeves exposed a section of her arm, but it was full of scars.
"What's going on?" Lingfeng took a breath and asked anxiously in a lowered voice.
"There's no time. We'll explain later. Let's leave first!" Chen Shaoxuan hugged Leng Changxi and got into the carriage, while Lingfeng quickly jumped on the carriage and walked towards the front door of Li Zheng with a whip.
Because of Mrs. Xia's management, the few people left the palace without much effort.
When she finally walked out of the high wall, Leng Changxi couldn't help but lift the curtain and took one last look with complicated eyes.
Leng Changxi smiled happily, slowly lowered the curtain, and threw herself into his arms: "Shaoxuan, the sky is big and the earth is big, I am finally free!"
"Well, I'm free! Little Bao'er, I will definitely love you for the rest of my life!" Chen Shaoxuan's solemn vows echoed in Leng Changxi's ears.
