On the street, a carriage was driving towards Dali Temple.
Xiao Chengyi was sitting in the car, looking thoughtful as he held a bunch of copper bells in his hands. His people found the bells near the place where the fourth prince had an accident.
And this just confirmed what the third princess said. Someone used this copper bell to activate the poisonous insects in the fourth prince's body, and then threw the thing nearby.
If this is the case, the third princess is unjustly accused.
Xiao Chengyi held the string of copper bells, feeling a little upset. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Qingying's panicked voice was heard: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple seems to be on fire."
Hearing this, Xiao Chengyi opened his eyes suddenly. He opened the curtain and saw a fire in front of him, accompanied by thick smoke rising in the night.
Xiao Chengyi hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards the place where the fire was. When he saw the eye-catching word "prison", his expression suddenly changed.
He reacted, grabbed a passing yamen officer and asked, "What's going on? Why did the prison catch fire? Where is the third princess?"
The yamen servant said: "I don't even know what's going on? The third...the third princess is still locked up inside and has not escaped."
Xiao Chengyi was shocked when he heard this. He almost didn't think about it, picked up the bucket in the hand of the yamen servant, poured it on himself, and then rushed into the sea of fire.
"Your Majesty!"
There were screams from people behind him.
Xiao Chengyi broke into the sea of fire, and his sight was blocked by the thick smoke. He covered his mouth and nose with his soaked sleeves and groped around in the cells.
It wasn't until he reached the end that he finally saw the person lying on the ground.
Xiao Chengyi kicked open the cell door and walked in quickly. He saw that Mu Yunan had passed out. He picked her up and shouted her name: "Alanyi."
But the person in his arms showed no reaction.
Xiao Chengyi took off his robe, wrapped it around her and stood up with her in his arms, only to find that the fire had blocked his way.
The cells connected to each other were all made of wood, which would only burn more intensely if caught in a fire. Seeing that the way out was blocked, Xiao Chengyi was also trapped here.
He looked at the woman in his arms and suddenly laughed at himself: "I'm really crazy."
For a little liar, he actually risked his life. Now the two of them are trapped here, and getting out is even harder than reaching heaven.
Xiao Chengyi put Mu Yun'an down, then held her tightly in his arms and said, "This is good, so that you don't have to lie to others again."
As he said that, he reached out and touched Mu Yun'an's face, as if to comfort her, and also to comfort himself: "Don't be afraid, I will die with you."
Now he feels that he has nothing to be attached to, and it would be nice to die together with this little liar.
The two of them embraced each other in the billowing smoke, accompanied by the burning fire.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Chengyi felt something dripping from the top of his head. He raised his head and saw that the roof of the cell had been burned through a hole by the fire, and it seemed to be raining outside.
The raindrops fell from the roof and fell on them.
Xiao Chengyi looked at the sky and earth above his head and couldn't believe it. He came back to his senses, lowered his head and said to the person in his arms: "Alanyi, we are saved."
But he sensed that something was wrong. Xiao Chengyi reached out to feel Mu Yun'an's pulse, only to find that her pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
Xiao Chengyi was shocked. He held Mu Yunan's face and kept calling her name: "Alanyi, wake up, we can go out."
