First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Three years ago, when Concubine Chen became pregnant, she transferred Su Jixiang from the cold palace to her own palace and promoted her to a first-class maid.

It was only then that everyone realized that there was actually a palace maid with outstanding appearance in the cold palace.

Originally, Concubine Chen transferred Su Jixiang to her own Chen'an Palace in the hope that she could help her consolidate her favor. After all, she was not feeling well and it was inconvenient for her to serve the emperor. She thought that in exchange for the favor of transferring Su Jixiang out of the cold palace, Su Jixiang could help her keep His Majesty.

As a result, when Su Jixiang heard that she was asked to serve the Emperor, she refused to do it. She found various ways to put off Concubine Chen. Finally, when she had no more excuses, she simply cut her face and ruined her appearance. This made Concubine Chen very angry. Originally, Concubine Chen wanted to kill Su Jixiang to vent her anger, but somehow the Queen found out about it. The Queen saved Su Jixiang, but still let her go to the imperial kitchen to chop firewood.

A first-class maid was chopping wood in the imperial kitchen. This matter spread throughout the harem. For a while, concubines and maids from all palaces would go to the imperial kitchen to secretly see what this maid who would rather disfigure herself than climb into bed looked like...

In this way, Su Jixiang chopped wood in the imperial kitchen for more than three years, and gradually became unknown.

Concubine Mei never expected that the person who saved her today was actually this weirdo that everyone talked about.

Inexplicably, she felt a little hope for life. No matter how arrogant Concubine Chen was, Su Jixiang was able to escape from her hands. Although the Queen helped, who can say that this was not Su Jixiang's ability? She was able to attract the Queen to help her!

Mei Fei didn't have time to think about it. She instinctively put on the eunuch clothes that Su Jixiang gave her and followed Su Jixiang step by step. She didn't want to be humiliated, and she didn't want to die! She was still young, and there was no reason for her to be buried alive with a man who abandoned her when a disaster struck!

"One thousand taels of gold!" Su Jixiang said as he glanced at Concubine Mei who was following him.

"Take me out, and there will be a reward!" Mei Fei said, with a guilty look in her eyes. The emperor has run away, and there's no telling what his father and brother are like now. One thousand taels of gold... ha ha... stay alive first, then talk about other things.

As soon as she walked out of the back door of Changxin Palace, Concubine Mei was stunned!

Outside, flames shot up into the sky. Even though it was night, the fires burning in many palaces had turned the sky orange.

The air was filled with all kinds of burning stench and bloody smells, which made people feel nauseous. This luxurious and solemn palace of the Daxie Dynasty had turned into a hell on earth that night.

The rough stone floor rubbed Mei Fei's delicate feet so hard that she was in pain. She dared not say a word, but could only grit her teeth and bear it and followed Su Jixiang closely. Su Jixiang seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the palace, and he took her along some walls and inconspicuous paths.

From time to time, there were wailing sounds, and the sound of women crying was mixed in. In the night wind, it seemed particularly sad and mournful.

Both Concubine Mei and Su Jixiang understood what these voices meant, but Su Jixiang looked at Concubine Mei, who was so frightened by the voices that she couldn't even lift her head. She could save one, but not many!

Su Jixiang dragged over a body lying on the side of the road. It was a dead eunuch, who had been stabbed several times. His eyes were still wide open, and he died with his eyes open. Su Jixiang pulled off his boots expressionlessly and threw them to Concubine Mei, "Put them on."

"From a dead person!" Concubine Mei turned pale, her face turned as white as paper, and she kept shaking her head.

"We'll be at the Imperial Garden soon!" Su Jixiang held Mei Fei's shoulders, his eyes flashing, "After the Imperial Garden is the Xuanwu Gate, and you can leave the palace after you pass through the Xuanwu Gate! There won't be such a good road for you to walk on from now on! If you don't want to fall into the hands of the rebels because your feet are worn out and you can't walk, then you can do whatever you want!"

Perhaps frightened by the ferocity in Su Jixiang's eyes, Mei Fei hesitated for a moment, but still quickly put on the boots.

Su Jixiang pulled her and bent over to enter the side door of the Imperial Garden.

The flowers and trees in the Imperial Garden have now been burned to pieces. The night wind brings with it the remains of plants and trees that have not yet been extinguished... A wave of heat hits the face, and it is difficult to open the eyes. I don't know who set the fire in the Imperial Garden, and the entire Imperial Garden was burned into ruins.

Su Jixiang pulled Mei Fei forward quickly. Mei Fei was so scorched by the heat that she wanted to cry! She swore that she had never run so fast in her life. Her feet were almost flying off... Even so, she still felt as if her shoes were being roasted by the heat from the ground.

She had to be thankful that she listened to Su Jixiang and put on a pair of shoes, otherwise her soles would be...

"The Xuanwu Gate is just ahead!" Just when Concubine Mei ran so far that she thought she was going to die, she suddenly heard Su Jixiang's joyful voice.

She looked up and saw that, sure enough! In the light of the fire, Xuanwu Gate stood not far away. She could reach it by running across the square between the Imperial Garden and Xuanwu Gate.

The gate of Xuanwu Gate was open! In the darkness, it was like a beast with its mouth wide open, lurking before our eyes.

Many palace maids and eunuchs who had escaped from the palace, as well as some people wearing imperial guards uniforms, were running towards the Xuanwu Gate. However, halfway through their run, they were intercepted by some indiscriminate soldiers who were hacking people in the center of the square... They were like crazy, killing anyone they saw... like Shuras crawling out of hell. Only a small number of imperial guards who were skilled in martial arts were able to get through, and even so, most of them were injured.

"There is not a single good person in this palace! Kill them! Kill one and you'll earn one! Don't let them run away!" Someone screamed madly. The blood and corpses made these people lose their humanity and turned them into murderous beasts!

"What should we do?" Concubine Mei anxiously grabbed Su Jixiang's sleeve.

Just now when she passed the Imperial Garden, she felt like she was going to run to death. Now facing this Shura scene, her heart almost sank... Tears could not stop pouring out, and Concubine Mei cried loudly.

"If crying can keep us alive, then I'll cry with you!" Someone wiped her face vigorously, wiping away her tears. "You either follow me or go back. There are only two ways! Which one do you choose?" Mei Fei's eyes suddenly became clear and Su Jixiang's face, which was covered in black, appeared in front of her. Her eyes were so determined that Mei Fei stopped crying involuntarily and looked at her in a daze.

"I'll follow you!" Concubine Mei said softly.

"Then charge with me!" Su Jixiang first picked up two shields from the ground and tied them to Concubine Mei's body one in front and one behind, then used a belt to tie his right hand and Concubine Mei's left hand together, "Don't fall behind, whoever dares to stop you, just chop him!" Then he stuffed a knife picked up from the ground into Concubine Mei's hand, "Isn't your father General Zhenwu? Show some momentum as the general's daughter!"
