Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Qinghuan was surrounded by Ye Xiaowei.

Even if she tried her best, she couldn't escape completely.

Her hand holding the long sword was trembling due to fatigue, and sweat mixed with blood smeared down her cheeks.

She already had several wounds on her body, but she still had no intention of giving in, and the gaze in her eyes was always firm.

The princess is having a baby and is at the most critical juncture.

Even if she dies, she can't let these people go!

The night owl guards once again bullied them.

They shot together this time, attacking Qinghuan from all angles at the same time, intending to completely get rid of this obstructive woman.

Qinghuan knew that she could not escape death.

She gritted her teeth and planned to risk her life to fight these people.

However, the next moment there was a sound of breaking through the air.

Ye Xiaowei was hit by arrows one after another, and people kept falling.

Immediately afterwards, King Zhao rushed over with people.

They simply and neatly dealt with the remaining Ye Xiaowei and rescued Qinghuan whose life was hanging by a thread.

Bian Ziming looked her up and down and clicked his tongue.

"Tsk tsk, you can still stand like this, you heroine!"

Qinghuan opened her mouth: "I..."

Bian Ziming interrupted her: "Okay, I know you're stuttering, don't talk, just tell us which direction the princess is in."

Qinghuan wanted to say that she didn't stutter, she just spoke a little slowly.

But now that the situation is urgent, there is no time to explain to her slowly.

She pointed in the direction obediently.

"Chaoyang Palace...in the study...in..."

Bian Ziming: "Could it be that the princess is hiding in the study of Chaoyang Palace?"

As soon as his words hit the ground, Li Ji rushed out immediately.

Looking at the direction, it is Chaoyang Palace.

Bian Ziming was about to follow, but was pulled back by Qinghuan.

Qinghuan was very anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more she stuttered when she spoke.

"No, not...the study..."

Bian Ziming was confused by her.

Isn't it the study she said? Why not?

Seeing that King Zhao has already led the people to run for a certain distance, if he doesn't keep up, he will not be able to keep up.

Bian Ziming could only say offended, picked up Qinghuan, and quickly chased in the direction where King Zhao left.

The people serving in Chaoyang Palace had already left.

When Li Ji rushed in with someone, he immediately saw Wu Zhang Wang Li Ying sitting on the steps drinking.

In his hand were two empty wine jars and an open oiled paper umbrella.

In the courtyard in front of you, peony flowers are in full bloom, delicate and charming.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and met the King Zhao who rushed in.

Li Ying was only surprised for a moment, then raised the jug, shook it at the other party, and asked with a smile.

"It came quite quickly, do you want to have another drink with me at the end?"

Li Ji smelled the smell of kerosene in the air.

He stood still and asked coldly.

"Where is Manman? Where did you hide her?"

Li Yingying heard some funny joke, and chuckled: "I really want to hide her, but unfortunately, she doesn't want to."

His fingertips gently stroked the edge of the oil-paper umbrella, and his bloodshot eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness.

"She lied to me and walked away quickly. All that was left to me was this umbrella and the peonies in the yard."

Li Ji didn't want to hear these nonsense words, so he ordered directly.

"Take King Wu Zhang away."

However, Li Ying didn't seem to realize it, and was still muttering to himself.

"I know she's still in this palace, maybe she's hiding nearby.

If she knows you're here, she will be very happy, right?

But I'm not happy, I'm very unhappy.

Obviously I met her earlier, why did she fall in love with another man in the end? It's not fair. "

He didn't know what he thought of, and raised the corners of his mouth again, with a frighteningly paranoid smile.

"Not only did she not love me, she lied to me and used me.

In this case, why should I show mercy to her?

The road to Huangquan is too cold, I want her to accompany me. "

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and stretched it towards the oil-paper umbrella next to him.

People in the distance thought that Li Ying was going to get an umbrella.

Only Chen Wangbei, who was approaching, saw the candlestick hidden behind the oil-paper umbrella.

The white candle is burning quietly, emitting a warm light.

Chen Wangbei had long noticed that the ground under his feet was covered with kerosene.

Once the candlestick falls, the entire Chaoyang Palace will be lit.

When Chen Wangbei saw Li Ying's fingers touching the candlestick, Chen Wangbei's heart rose to his throat for an instant, and he swung his sword towards Li Ying's right hand without even thinking about it!

Candlesticks were pushed down.

The flames are in intimate contact with the kerosene on the ground.

In an instant, the flames blazed up!

At the same time, Li Ying's wrist was hit, blood spurted out and splashed onto the oiled paper umbrella.

The originally clean and white umbrella surface was stained with blood.

The next moment, the flames licked the oil-paper umbrella.

Li Ying covered the bleeding wound and watched helplessly as the oil-paper umbrella was swallowed by the flames.

This is the only warmth in his life.

he said softly.

"Who told you to lie to me?"

The flames spread up the hem of his clothes and began to burn his skin.

He was in so much pain that he could die, but he didn't intend to get up and run away, he just took out the worn-out purse from his arms with trembling hands, and held it tightly.

Then he closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if enjoying the relief brought by death.

The flames spread rapidly, but in the blink of an eye, the entire Chaoyang Palace was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Chen Wangbei was forced to retreat quickly.

"My lord, we can't stay here any longer, let's go out!"

However, Li Ji refused to leave.

Regardless of other people's obstruction, he wanted to rush into the flames to find Manman.

Fortunately, Bian Ziming arrived in time with Qinghuan on his back.

Qinghuan finally finished her sentence this time.

"The princess is in...the secret passage...the secret passage has...another...exit, which is near...the flower garden..."

Li Ji immediately ran towards the flower garden.

The flames couldn't get into the secret passage, but the thick smoke from the flames got in through the crack of the door.

Mu Qing was choked and coughed.

She said in a hoarse voice: "The child's head has come out, the princess should work harder, use more force!"

Hua Manman was in excruciating pain, her eyes were red from the smoke, and tears flowed out.

She knew that there was not much oxygen left in the chamber.

She had to deliver the baby before the oxygen ran out.

Otherwise, they would all be suffocated to death here.

Hua Manman gritted her teeth, held her breath, and exerted her last strength.

Finally, the child was born.

Mu Qing didn't even have time to see if it was a boy or a girl, so she hurriedly cleaned the baby and wrapped the baby in a blanket.

"Princess, let's get out of here!"

Hua Manman had just given birth, and her whole body was exhausted, let alone walking, she couldn't even lift her arms.

Her eyes were blinded by the smoke and it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe.

"You take the baby and leave, don't worry about me."
