In just a few days, Heze's health failed and she had to rely entirely on her bottle of medicine to survive.

His face was pale. Whenever Baili Yao came to see the queen, he would basically come over to take a look. If what Suye said was true, then the queen and this Heze should have some relationship with the Shen family.

Baili Yao was much freer than she thought. She could move around the palace freely, and as long as she didn't enter the queen's bedroom, she would basically not see Heze.

Which bead would Heze put there... After all, the box has a certain size and it can't be carried around all the time. Where does Heze live?

Baili Yao walked with a purpose. Heze had never mentioned the beads, so she didn't dare to ask. She had shown disdain for the beads before, but now thinking about it, it was a lucky thing. Fortunately, she didn't take it. It was okay if she was poisoned, because she could detoxify herself. But for someone with an unclear identity like Heze, she couldn't be sure if he would be silenced at any time if she took the beads.

"It can't be opened! We have to wake that woman up quickly!" A woman's low roar came from the front. Baili Yao then realized that she had been distracted while thinking about something just now, and she didn't know where she was.

She hid behind the rockery and looked forward. It was the woman on the street that day. Opposite her was Heze, who was sitting weakly at this moment. The woman happened to be holding the box in her hand. The box was opened and they were discussing something with the box in hand.

"This bead is poisonous and there is a mechanism underneath. The bead is inlaid. Damn it, how can I take it off!" The woman was very worried.

"But when that woman wakes up, she will immediately find out that I am not the king," said Heze.

"Just do as we agreed and say that the king is poisoned and needs the pearl to save his life."

"She's so cunning, how can it work..." Heze said with difficulty. He was really afraid that the woman would wake up and scream.

Heze thought for a moment, "Then...what about Mr. Bai..."

The woman just scratched her neck. Baili Yao felt that she couldn't bear to listen anymore, so she turned around and said "Woo..." Her body trembled instantly and she turned her head to meet Su Ye's eyes.

Su Ye nodded at him, put his arm around his waist and walked away quietly.

"You need to rest well!" Baili Yao was taken back to the house by him.

"Not that delicate." Su Ye smiled on his handsome face. He looked really good.

There are many holes on his body! Baili Yao rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Why were you there just now?"

He was fine. Just now, when he carried Baili Yao out, the wound on his body did move a little. "After I felt that my body could move again, I looked around here. Those two people and another woman would chat there for a while every day. They looked very anxious and wanted to take out the beads as soon as possible."

Suye looked at the wound on his hand which had not yet healed and said, "The ring is with them." He frowned, but in the end he did not take the ring out!

"Aye." Baili Yao called him, and Su Ye raised his head to meet her clear eyes, which contained emotions he could not understand.

"Aye, there's no need to risk your life to exchange for those things. It's not worth it." She touched his face that was still scarred. In modern times, this young face should have been an age of freedom and joy.

He held Baili Yao's hand excitedly and rubbed his face against her hand, "Sister wants it, doesn't she?"

Baili Yao's hands trembled. She really wanted to go home, but... sometimes she cruelly thought that as long as they went back, even if all the people she knew here were dead, it would all seem like a dream after a long time. But when she looked at Su Ye's young and lively face again, she would hesitate.

She didn't want him to die...even if she couldn't go back.

Baili Yao lowered her head. She couldn't stand Su Ye looking at her like that... Her fingers felt cold, and she pulled her hands back. "After all, those are just external possessions. Nothing is more important than life."

Suye felt a little incompetent and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I won't give up."

Baili Yao took his wrist and felt his pulse again. He recovered unusually quickly. Sometimes she was really curious about what Su Ye's body was made of.

"Let's leave tonight. Your men from Yunshui Pavilion will meet us at the previous inn. I think they have already arrived."

"Sister, how did you decide to go out?"

Baili Yao shook her head. "No, I didn't even find the door. But if things get chaotic here at night, we still have a chance. Don't you know Qinggong?"

Suye nodded and said, "I will take my sister over the wall."

This is exactly what Baili Yao meant.

Once night fell and everything became quiet, Baili Yao ordered Suye to set the fire.

That's how she escaped from Baili's house during the chaos.

Su Ye was also quite ruthless. He set three fires in succession, and the palace was instantly in chaos. Everyone inside shouted that the fire was burning, but Baili Yao ordered not to touch the queen's bedroom, and he nodded in agreement.

Heze was startled when he heard the sound and sat up from the bed. When he opened the door, he saw flames shooting up into the sky. "There's a fire!" A little maid ran over.

"Not good," he sighed, "Go find Mr. Bai!"

When several guards found Baili Yao's room, Su Ye had already taken him to the top of the wall. She turned her head and looked in the direction of her room. Several people came out anxiously. Fortunately, they left in time!

The people in Yunshui Pavilion were indeed meticulous. When they saw the palace was on fire, three or five of them hurried over to search around the palace. With good luck, Suye just happened to find someone.

The other few people looked at the new number in the sky and saw it riding towards them on horseback. Su Ye asked for a horse, carried Baili Yao onto the horse, and then sat on it himself.

"Let's go first!" Several people rode their horses and quickly left the palace boundary. "Have you brought dry food and water?" Su Ye asked.

"Everything is ready, Master!"

"Leave the city overnight! Go!"

"Yes!"

The group rode at full speed. There was no one on the road at night. Fengsha Town was in a unique location and the city gate was not closed, so they went straight out of the city.

Baili Yao felt a slight pain in her back, "What is that?"

They ran for a long time and needed to change camels. Suye took out something from his arms, and it turned out to be the box containing beads!

"you……"

"I stole it." Suye smiled. It seemed that he had a thorough understanding of the palace in such a short time! She really admired Suye's ability.

After leaving Fengsha Town, they found an inn to rest for a while, and then changed back to horses.

Even if those people wanted to catch up, it would take some time.

After a short nap to feel a little more energetic, I continued on my way.
