"Not allowed, Your Highness!"

He Yi's guards cried out in surprise and rushed forward to try to hold their prince.

But Sonam was very fast and rushed in soon.

However, the roof collapsed and the beams also collapsed. Even if Suonan wanted to go in, he was blocked by the collapsed beams.

He changed direction and tried to enter through the window.

But the window has also been deformed and is about to collapse.

The entire palace was surrounded by flames, and he couldn't find a place to break out.

The flames attacked Suonan. He dodged and barely avoided it. With a bang, the beam of the house hit the place where he had just stood!

The emperor was so frightened after seeing this scene that he quickly asked the guards to pull Suonan out.

It doesn’t matter if Mingzhu died, that was just her bad luck, but nothing must happen to Prince Heyi!

Suonan was pulled out by the guards and stood in a safe place. Looking at the burned-down princess palace, the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.

The guards went back and forth to fetch water to put out the fire. The fire was finally out, but the princess's palace was almost burned down by the fire.

The emperor's eyes were red and his expression was grief-stricken. To anyone who saw him, he looked like a poor old father who had lost his beloved daughter.

"Go in and check out the situation."

"Yes."

Several guards went in and quickly and carefully carried out five bodies that had been burned beyond recognition.

It can be said that the fire was extinguished in time. If it had been extinguished later, the bodies would have been burned to ashes. If it had been extinguished earlier, the appearance of the bodies could still be recognized.

Now the appearance of the five bodies is completely unrecognizable and they can only be distinguished by their body shape.

The emperor asked the palace maid who had escaped from the princess's palace to come and see.

Finally the identities of the five bodies were confirmed.

Mingzhu, Huayan, and three palace maids who will be on guard tonight.

The emperor was grief-stricken, "Mingzhu! My daughter!"

"Your Majesty, my condolences!"

The chief eunuch tried to persuade him quickly.

Sonam looked at the five bodies lying side by side on the ground, and his eyes fell on one of them.

His pity...

No wonder he felt uneasy today, it turns out... this is the case.

If he didn't leave tonight, but stayed here stubbornly.

Would this fire not have happened?

Suonan's eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a strong sense of grief.

The emperor wailed a few times in a fake manner and looked at Suonan who had remained silent.

"Prince Heyi, Mingzhu is dead, and the marriage is a matter of peace..."

Suonan glanced at him, and his eyes were like an iron claw, instantly locking the emperor's throat, preventing him from saying the rest of the words.

"Let's talk about the marriage another day. Let's take care of the princess's funeral first."

Suonan's momentum was even greater than that of the emperor at this time.

The emperor was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Prince Heyi actually had feelings for Mingzhu.

Now that Mingzhu is dead, will Prince Heyi, for Mingzhu's sake, have a good talk with him about what to do next?

The emperor didn't know, and now he could only deal with Mingzhu's funeral first.

At the same time, Ying Xixi and Hua Yan had already left the palace smoothly with the people sent by the third prince and came to a small house in the capital.

Hua Yan's heart was pounding and she was completely stunned.

She looked at Ying Xixi, "Your Highness, you, this servant, the fire......"

She was already incoherent and couldn't even tell what she wanted to ask.

“Hua Yan, we have escaped from the fire. From now on, I am no longer Princess Mingzhu, and we don’t have to go to Heyi anymore.

It's still some time before dawn, go to sleep, tomorrow will be a new day."

Ying Xixi spoke softly, but her eyes were very bright, shockingly bright.

Hua Yan's head is buzzing and she can't sleep at all.

"Your Highness, I can't sleep. Your Highness, did we, did we die in the fire?"

"If you can't sleep, then don't sleep. Yes, we are already dead in front of the people in the palace.

So Huayan, just call me Miss, don't call me Your Highness. From now on I am no longer Princess Mingzhu. Princess Mingzhu died in the fire tonight.

We will stay here first, and we should remember to wear veils or veils when we go out, so as not to be recognized by people we know. "

Hua Yan nodded, "Yes."

Neither the master nor the servant could sleep, so they sat together by the window, watching the darkness gradually being pierced by the sunlight.

When it was daybreak, Ying Xixi felt sleepy. She told Hua Yan something and went to bed.

She slept more soundly when she thought that she no longer had to go to Heyi to get married, no longer had to face that madman Suonan, no longer had to leave the capital, and could continue to fulfill the original owner's wishes and do tasks.

When Ying Xixi woke up again, it was already noon and her stomach was growling with hunger.

This small house has only one entrance and is quite small. Her third brother had someone put some food in the kitchen these days to sustain her and Hua Yan for a while.

Ying Xixi went into the kitchen and saw Hua Yan was already cooking.

"My Lord...Miss, I saw some food in the kitchen, so I took it to cook. It should be OK, right?"

Hua Yan saw her young lady coming in and hurriedly spoke.

"Sure, there are plenty of ingredients. We can survive for a while without going out. Once my funeral is settled and He Yiren leaves, we can go out."

Ying Xixi picked up the cucumber that Huayan had washed and started eating it with a crunch.

Hua Yan took a break for the whole morning, thought about it and asked.

"Miss, then, are we the only two who escaped from the fire?"

"I only escaped with you, Huayan. You are my only confidant. I can't let you die in the fire.

As for the others in the temple, they should be able to escape on their own."

What Ying Xixi didn't say was that in addition to her and Hua Yan, the three palace maids who were on night watch should have also "died".

Of course, it was the Stone Man who died.

She replaced the three palace maids with three stone men a few days ago.

The three palace maids had reached the age to leave the palace, so she asked her third brother to help send them out of the capital.

Originally, she didn't want to do such a thing, but she thought that if both she and Hua Yan were to die in the fire, it would not be credible.

If more people had died, others would not have guessed that she would have escaped with four palace maids.

After all, when it comes to escaping death, the fewer people you bring with you, the better.

After all, we have now achieved a preliminary victory.

While Ying Xixi and Hua Yan were having lunch, the news that Princess Mingzhu had died in a fire last night had spread throughout the palace and the capital.

Everyone was shocked.

"Princess Mingzhu died? Died in a fire?

No wonder there was no movement in the palace this morning. Today should have been the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Heyi and Princess Mingzhu returned to Heyi."

"We are leaving today. Princess Mingzhu died in the fire last night. This, this, is too much of a coincidence."

"I don't know if the fire was man-made or an accident. If it was man-made, do you think Princess Mingzhu is still alive?"

"How could she still be alive? I heard that five people died in the fire last night. Princess Mingzhu and four palace maids were almost burnt to carbon! How could she still be alive?

The palace has not yet said whether the fire was man-made or accidental, but I think it was most likely an accident!"
