Seeing this scene, Shen Ruoyan immediately understood.

It turns out that Xueying deliberately designed this game because she actually fell in love with Lu Yan. Fortunately, she thought she was a spy sent by the imperial concubine and had been careful for so long.

But having said that, Lu Yan is really charming as a man, and he can attract bees and butterflies even when wearing a mask.

Seeing that Lu Yan still ignored her, Xueying said again: "What do you want, Young Pavilion Master? As long as you ask, the slave family will cooperate well."

After saying that, he gave Lu Yan a coquettish and coy look, which was extremely enchanting.

Xueying had secretly practiced this look many times. No man could resist such a bewitching gaze. However, Lu Yan, who was opposite him, still looked indifferent. He obviously had no interest in her at all, which made Xueying secretly Grit your teeth.

At this time, Shen Ruoyan imitated Xueying's soft voice and asked Lu Yan coquettishly: "Young Pavilion Master, let me help you choose, okay?"

The smile on Xueying's face froze.

She had deliberately made things difficult for this woman just now. If she got the chance this time, she would definitely retaliate against her even harder. Now Xueying only hoped that the cold young pavilion master could reject her without mercy. Woman's proposal.

However, to Xueying's disappointment, Lu Yan accepted the request without even a moment's hesitation.

In Xueying's panicked eyes, Shen Ruoyan looked at her with a smile. The girl pondered for a moment and said, "The magnolia hairpin on the girl's head is really unique, but it doesn't quite match your clothes..."

Hearing this, the blood on Xueying's face faded and she turned pale.

Shen Ruoyan's inner meaning was not just to ask her to take off her outer clothes, but in order to show off her figure at today's banquet, Xueying only wore an undergarment that could not cover anything. Even as a brothel woman, She was too embarrassed to dress like that in public.

Xueying's heart was beating loudly.

Shen Ruoyan continued to say: "Your clothes and the hairpin on your head don't match well. How about..."

Having said this, Shen Ruoyan paused deliberately, then smiled lightly, "Why don't you just take off that hairpin."

Xueying was greatly shocked and looked at Shen Ruoyan in surprise with her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe that she really let her go so easily?

Did she really just let herself take off the hairpin?

Afraid that she heard wrongly, Xueying opened her mouth to confirm: "What you want is this...hairpin?"

Shen Ruoyan smiled indifferently and nodded to her.

Shen Ruoyan just wanted to teach Xueying a lesson and let her remember it for a long time, but of course she had to let her go at the last moment.

After all, we are all women.

Why should a woman embarrass a woman?

The governor on the side thought he would see some sexy scene and kept sitting there waiting to watch the show. But in the end, Shen Ruoyan only asked someone to take off the hairpin from her head. Suddenly her interest waned and she raised her hand to pour herself a glass of wine.

When Shen Ruoyan saw Xueying standing still, she urged, "What are you doing here? Take off the hairpin quickly. We have to play another round."

Xueying bit her lip and tried to remove the hairpin from her head with trembling hands.

At this moment, there were suddenly several strange noises.

"Ding" "ding" "ding"

It was as if something was sinking into the wood. Before Shen Ruoyan could react to what the sound was, Lu Yan instantly grabbed her hand, pulled her to his side, and stretched out an arm to protect her tightly in his arms. .

"What's wrong?" Shen Ruoyan raised her head and asked.

Before Lu Yan could answer, a scream came from outside: "It's not good! It's gone!"

Hearing the shouts, whispers suddenly came to mind in the banquet hall.

Someone curiously leaned over the railing to see where the fire was. As soon as he poked his head in, his legs became weak with fear. He fell to the ground, raised his hand tremblingly, pointed outside and shouted: "It's burning... it's burning. The whole building is burning! Our building is burning!"

Everyone was really panicked when they learned that their building was on fire.

Today's Lantern Festival, in order to create a magnificent scene, the outside of the attic was hung with colorful lanterns. But for some reason, one of the lanterns flipped over, and the candle inside instantly ignited a nearby lantern, which was blown by the wind. , the fire grew stronger and stronger, and in an instant the entire high-rise building was ignited.

Against the backdrop of the night, the tall building on fire looked like an angry flame giant, constantly making crackling roars.

The surrounding air became even more scorching due to the blazing flames. The extravagant atmosphere at the banquet was swept away. Everyone stood up one after another and ran for their lives. However, because they drank too much wine, their steps were sloppy and their walking was awkward. They were not bumping into each other. Others just bumped into the corner of the table.

For a moment, exquisite wine glasses and delicious fruit plates were scattered on the ground, and the scene was in a mess.

A few people who were extremely afraid of death panicked and ran to the railing to jump directly.

But when they looked out, they found that this place was more than ten feet high from the ground. No matter how powerful the Qing Gong was, jumping from such a high place would be a dead end. The few of them rolled back and crawled back, changing direction. Rush towards the stairs.

In the chaos, Lu Yan tore off a piece of clothing, quickly picked up the basin for washing hands, quickly wet the cloth, and then covered Shen Ruoyan's mouth and nose.

With the wet cloth covering her face, Shen Ruoyan felt that her breathing was much easier. She found that there was nothing on Lu Yan's face, and asked worriedly: "What about you?"

"It's okay." Lu Yan picked up the girl with one hand and quickly walked downstairs.

After going down a few floors, the smoke became thicker and thicker. People who had gone downstairs climbed up the stairs one after another, muttering: "Don't go down, it's all on fire down there!"

"Ah? What should we do now? Where should we escape?"

"Why are we running away! We are dead!"

The well-dressed people who had just exchanged glasses for each other were now sitting on the ground in disgrace, regretting why they came to attend today's banquet.

Shen Ruoyan suddenly became suspicious when she heard there was a fire downstairs.

Logically speaking, if the lanterns decorated outside the building were ignited, the interior of the building would not burn in such a short period of time. But now that the fire is so big, it is obvious that someone deliberately did it.

Combining the sounds she heard just now, Shen Ruoyan speculated that someone should have shot the lanterns outside with arrows to create a fierce fire, and the fire downstairs had been arranged long ago. Just to block their way.

The imperial concubine wants to burn everyone here alive this time!

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but tighten her hands on Lu Yan's clothes.

The back of the hand was suddenly covered with a solid palm.

Lu Yan's palms were covered with a thin layer of calluses. He lowered his head and assured Shen Ruoyan, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
