The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Your Majesty is afraid that there is nothing you can do to save the situation.

The prince will ascend the throne next.

Logically speaking, he should quickly turn around and cling to the prince's leg, so that he can continue to keep his position in the future.

but……

He was still struggling in his heart because he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

The more fiercely the fire burned, the calmer the cavalry general seemed to become.

Although his eyes were fixed on the fire, Eunuch Ji still noticed his calmness... There is definitely room for reversal in this matter!

Is it...

No, how could anyone escape from such a big fire?

But he didn't seem worried about the fire.

It’s weird.

This man is just a son-in-law of a merchant family. Why should I care about him so much?

He has no family background.

Nowadays, those who have less power are not as powerful as a eunuch like me.

But he had an aura that made people fear and dread him, so much so that he could even ignore the future rulers of the world like the Crown Prince and the Queen.

Forget it, just take a gamble!

"Reporting to His Highness, reporting to Her Majesty."

"You are all aware that His Majesty usually stays alone in this secret room."

"No one is allowed to approach this secret room, and none of our servants dare to disobey your majesty's orders."

"Today is just like usual. The servants are guarding outside. Even the cavalry generals who urgently returned to report were not allowed to go in to report."

"Thick smoke suddenly came out from inside, and by the time we came back out, it was already too late..."

The Queen: "I know your Majesty's temperament."

"I don't blame you."

"Perhaps, this is fate..."

The queen wiped her wet eyes as she spoke.

Although she also had a sad face, there was a hint of joy in her eyes that could not be concealed.

If the emperor died in there, wouldn't her son be able to ascend the throne naturally?

I didn’t expect that this day would come so quickly and go so smoothly!

The Fourth Prince's biggest worry will never have a chance to turn the tables again.

The emperor, with his fickle temperament, will no longer be able to influence the prince's fate. His son is about to ascend the throne, and she is about to become the empress dowager!

She will become the most noble and supreme woman in the world!

The Queen almost laughed out loud.

If the old nanny beside her had not tugged at her robe, she really would not have been able to hold back.

"and many more--"

"Brother Li, the fire hasn't been completely extinguished yet—"

"Brother Li——"

Duan Rongshi suddenly rushed into the fire scene.

Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu looked at each other and hurriedly followed in.

All I saw was black smoke billowing inside.

Although the fire was out, it was still choking and making it impossible to breathe.

Duan Rongshi quickly wet his sleeves and then covered his mouth and nose with them.

The secret room was not very big. Apart from two shelves and a table which were still in good condition after being burned, the ground was covered with paper ashes.

"Why, why not?"

"Yeah, why isn't anyone showing off?"

"It's impossible for it to burn to ashes so quickly, right?"

"Pah! What are you talking about?"

"The table hasn't even been completely burned yet, how could the people die first?"

But in this room where you can see the head at a glance, how could there be even half a corpse?

Yang Qilang was surprised and delighted: "Could it be that His Majesty and his wife weren't in there at all? So they're not dead?"

Zhang Tingyu hesitated to speak.

I thought to myself: It’s a good thing that my brother’s wife is not dead, but it’s a pity that a tyrant like Your Majesty can escape.

"It's a good thing he's not dead. Let's quickly find out if there's any trap. Your Majesty and my sister-in-law have already left this place."

Duan Rongshi had already walked to a dark corner of the wall behind the bookshelf.

He reached out and pushed hard.

Sure enough, the corner of the wall slowly turned, and another dark passage appeared behind it.

Li Qingluo threw the Emperor of Chu to the ground.

Then she sat on the ground and took a few deep breaths.

If she hadn't discovered a mechanism to leave, she wouldn't have burned down the secret room completely.

Originally, she planned to build a small fire at the door of the secret room.

He burned his mother's portraits one by one.

This way the smoke can escape, and the eunuchs outside will naturally open the door.

And since she was holding the Emperor of Chu hostage, she was not afraid of not being able to leave the palace.

But that would be too risky and might ruin Duan Rongshi's future plans.

Fortunately, she remembered what Zong Zheng Xingyao said.

A favored beauty entered this secret room and never left.

If he didn't go out, wouldn't he have died in there?

But Li Qingluo had already searched carefully.

Not only was there no corpse in the secret room, there wasn't even any foul smell.

Moreover, given the Emperor of Chu's temperament, he would not throw the corpse there, as this would desecrate the holy place in his heart.

So, what will happen to the body of this beauty?

Li Qingluo searched casually and soon found a movable door behind the shelf.

Behind the door is a passage.

Li Qingluo dragged the Emperor of Chu into the passage and packed a large package on his back.

After looking at the portraits of her mother all over the room, she resolutely and decisively threw the tinderbox at a pile of drawing papers.

Fortunately, this secret passage was long and wet, and the smoke was quickly left behind.

Now, she dragged Emperor Chu to a dead end.

Li Qingluo carefully took off the large package on his back and placed it on the ground, then patted the ashes off it.

Then he bent down and slapped the Emperor of Chu in the face.

"Hey! Wake up!"

"emperor?"

"Hunjun?"

"tyrant?"

"Zongzheng Langri?"

"Dog Emperor?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The Emperor of Chu still had his eyes tightly closed and could not be woken up no matter how hard they tried.

Li Qingluo reached out and felt his breath. Although he was still breathing, she was afraid that she would use too much force and turn him into a living dead.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a disaster?

Although it wouldn't be a good thing if he woke up.

"Forget it, now that it has come to this, a tyrant like you won't let me go even if you wake up."

"We can only take one step at a time and see what happens."

"But I have to get you out of the palace first."

Li Qingluo looked around and didn't know where he was at the moment.

She explored around and found that it was surrounded by stone walls, which felt a little damp.

She roughly calculated the time and direction she had traveled, and thought to herself: Could it be the fake forest outside the Snow Terrace?

Is the rockery actually the end of the passage to the tyrant's secret room?

Li Qingluo tried to feel carefully on each wall, trying to find the exit.

Soon, she really felt a loose spot.

Just as a look of surprise appeared on her face, she heard a strange noise coming from the secret passage.

Li Qingluo hurried back to the Emperor of Chu.

First he put the package on his back, then dragged the Chu Emperor deeper into the cave and hid him in the corners and crevices.

He also drew his dagger and prepared for battle.

The footsteps are getting closer.

When a dark shadow emerged, she rushed out with the dagger in her hand raised.

The two sides fought fiercely in the dark cave.

But soon, Li Qingluo noticed a familiar move.

Moreover, it was obvious that the opponent's martial arts skills were far superior to hers, and he could suppress her quickly, but he didn't!

He could also easily neutralize her killer moves.

Look at the height of this black shadow.

Li Qingluo shouted in disbelief, "Ashi?"

A voice responded from the darkness: "Yeah."

"it's me."

He said, grabbing her wrist tightly.

He pulled her into his arms before she could retract her move.

The two met eyes in the darkness.

Joy and excitement instantly turned into a gurgling hot spring in my heart.

Li Qingluo wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.

He punched Duan Rongshi hard on the chest and choked out a sob: "Why did you come back just now!"

"If you don't come back, I'm going to cause you big trouble!"

"But you deserve it."

"Clean up your own mess!"

Three months no see.

Her hand strength is growing day by day.

Duan Rongshi snorted, but was reluctant to let her go.

He simply led his men forward and gently pressed her against the wet stone wall.

He held her hands above her head, then lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

I just want to relieve the pain of missing you during this period of time.

The two of them completely forgot that the Emperor of Chu was still unconscious in a corner nearby.

Li Qingluo struggled when he remembered.

"No... well... the tyrant is still here..."

Duan Rongshi: "Don't worry about him."

He raised his head, panting, and looked at her lips that had been kissed until they were rosy red.

At this moment, she was like a delicate and beautiful petal, covered with moist dew, making him unable to control his emotions and unable to extricate himself from being infatuated with her.

So he lowered his head and pressed down hard again.

The intimate voice echoed strangely in the dark cave.

If it wasn't for the inappropriate time and place, he would have wanted to rub her into his bones and blood and take her first.

However, reason ultimately triumphed over passion.

Duan Rongshi looked up reluctantly and closed her open collar.

Li Qingluo laughed softly.

She reached out and touched his face, then looked up and took the initiative to kiss him twice.

"Ashi, I tied up the emperor."

"Are you afraid of this heinous crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan?"

Duan Rongshi: "What are you afraid of?"

"He dared to touch you, so he deserves all the suffering he has endured."

After knowing that she and Emperor Chu were in the same room, he knew that her Luo'er would not suffer any loss.

Moreover, Zong Zheng Langri will definitely be even worse off.

Sure enough, his little rascal was able to set fire to the secret room.

"Don't worry, I'm back."

"Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Duan Rongshi lowered his head lovingly and gently leaned his forehead against hers, and they smiled at each other.

"What's next?"

Li Qingluo: "I originally planned to find an exit, then summon my killing spell, tie him up and throw him into the mausoleum he built."

"But now you're back, you have the final say."

Duan Rongshi: "Your method is good."

"Just to my liking."

"But we have to move quickly. I found your footprints, so I followed you here."

"There's a fork in the road behind. I sent Zhang Tingyu and Yang Qilang there. They should be back soon."

"You have to leave before they get here."

Li Qingluo understood what he meant.

The couple will go their separate ways.

She nodded heavily and pointed in the direction of the exit she had found: "It's right there, let's go!"
