"Sister teaches, younger sister remembers." Zhou Yi said with a respectful bow.

  At this time, Yang Qishuang's palace maid Ling'er walked over and after paying respects to the two of them, she said: "Your Highness, news has come from Zhengyang Palace that the Emperor is also on his way to Ganquan Palace."

  "Oh, it's really gone quickly." Yang Qixue smiled and said: "Sister, even the emperor has run over there. Shouldn't we go take a look at the excitement too?"

  "Haha, that's the best. The scene must be very spectacular." Zhou Yi smiled and said: "It's unlikely that we'll see such a spectacular sea in our lifetime."

  "That's right, Ling'er, lead the way. We'll go take a look and comfort the Empress." Yang Qixue said, already standing up from her seat. Zhou Yihuan followed her out as well.

  On the road, Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Now that 'woman' is probably already dead. Sister, who's our next target?"

  "Who else could it be? Of course, it's that most illustrious 'woman' in the harem." Yang Qianshuo said lightly, a hint of cold smile playing on her lips.

  "Yes. My sister understands." Zhou Yi Huan thought: As soon as possible, get rid of the Empress. That's also not far from her own goal.

  The two of them went to Ganquan Palace with a mindset of watching a good show and an expression of delighting in others' misfortunes.

  Chu Xuan was originally in the imperial study, reading a book. Suddenly, Luo Zhong hastily came in to report that Ganquan Palace was on fire.

  He immediately stood up and stared at Luo Zhong: "What did you say? Ganquan Palace is on fire."

  "Yes, Your Majesty. Just now a small eunuch from the Ganquan Palace came to report that the Ganquan Palace is on fire. If Your Majesty does not believe it, just take a look outside and you will know."

  Chu Yixuan hastily ran out to take a look, and the sky above Ganquan Palace was already illuminated by flames, with thick smoke billowing everywhere. The bright moon in the sky seemed to have been obscured by the dense smoke.

  He anxiously asked Luo Zhong, "What's going on? Is anyone hurt in Ganquan Palace? And what about Yan Caiyun? Has something happened to her?"

  "I'm not clear either. That little eunuch just left and said he was going to put out a fire and rescue people."

  "Lu Zhong, quickly go and pass on My imperial decree. Let Yi Ling lead the Imperial Guards to quickly go put out the fire and rescue people. I will go there first to take a look."

  Chu Yixuan finished giving orders and didn't even have time to go back and change clothes, so she wore the bright yellow casual attire and rushed to Ganquan Palace.

  "Jun'er, you absolutely can't get into trouble." Chu Yixuan silently prayed, but a sense of foreboding still rose up in his heart. The closer they got to Zhengyang Palace, the stronger that feeling became.

  Rushed to Ganquan Palace in a flurry of anxiety. The place had already been thrown into chaos. The eunuchs and palace maids had all brought buckets of water ahead of time to put out the fire. But what effect could their small buckets of water possibly have? Faced with this raging inferno, it was like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water - completely useless.

  Those slaves were all shocked when they saw the emperor and wanted to make a good impression in front of him, so they desperately rushed to put out the fire.

  Yuan Huanghou also saw his arrival and hurriedly walked towards him without even performing the usual rituals, crying out "Your Majesty".

  Chu Yi furrowed his brow, a layer of frost on his handsome face as he stared at Huo Dao: "What's going on? Where is Yan Cai?"

  "Your Majesty... Fourth Sister... She... She... is still in the main hall." Empress Yan replied tearfully, pointing to the main hall.

  "Why didn't anyone go save her?" Chu Yixuan was furious, staring at the raging fire engulfing the main hall and muttering to himself: "Jun'er is still in there..."

  Empress Yan replied anxiously: "The fire is too big, no one can go in, and no one dares to go in. I have already ordered the slaves to be organized, but no one can easily go in."

  "A bunch of trash." Chu Yixuan suddenly snatched a water bucket from a passing eunuch and poured the entire bucket of water over himself. Then, without thinking, he rushed towards the main hall.

  "Your Majesty, you can't go." After realizing his intention, Empress Yan rushed to him without hesitation, tightly grasping his arm and not letting him charge forward: "The Emperor is the most noble person, how can he personally go to rescue people? Let the slaves handle the rescue."

  "Let go." Chu Yixuan shouted at her loudly. With a surge of strength in his arm, he flung away Empress Yan. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.

  Watching as the Emperor was about to rush into the sea of flames, Empress Yuan let out a sorrowful and urgent cry: "Your Majesty!"

  It's not her cursing the emperor, but this fire is too big. The emperor has entered, and it's more likely to be unlucky than lucky.

  It's okay. Fortunately, someone stopped the emperor for her.

  Luo Zhong and Yi Ling had just arrived at Ganquan Palace when they saw the Emperor rushing into the sea of flames without regard for his own safety. The two men also rushed over to intercept him without hesitation.

  "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot go in!" Luo Zhong said anxiously, stretching out his hand to block his path.

  "Yan Cai Ren is still inside. I must go and rescue her." Chu Yi Xuan's face sank, his handsome features urgent as he spoke: "I once promised to protect her, but failed to keep that promise. Now she's trapped in this sea of flames. No matter what, I must go and save her."

  After all, he was afraid of one fact in his heart. He really feared losing her.

  "Your Majesty, saving people is our duty. You retreat to a safe place and let us go in to rescue them. We will find Yan Cairen."

  Yi Ling respectfully said so. He also took a bucket of water to wet his whole body, then found a wet cloth to cover his mouth and nose, and rushed into the sea of fire first.

  He brought the Imperial Guards who acted quickly and agilely, also cooperating with him to fetch water to put out the fire and use wet cloths to smother it. Their methods were much more effective than those eunuchs.

  Despite their best efforts to put out the fire, they still couldn't stop the flames from spreading and growing stronger.

  Yi Ling relied on his own agility, jumping back and forth in the sea of flames, where his eyes went was dazzling firelight everywhere, he looked up to search, but there were no human shadows in the house, it was completely invisible.

  Something red-hot fell from the rooftop and landed on Yi Ling's clothes, setting them ablaze despite being damp.

  He frantically put out the flames on his body, looking at the scene in front of him and thinking that Yan Cai might have already met with disaster, with more misfortune than good fortune. The house was about to collapse, and if he didn't get out quickly, he would probably lose his life here.

  Thinking of this, Yi Ling hastily retreated with a pale face. He fled in disarray from the sea of flames. By the time he rushed out, his body was already on fire. His subordinates quickly poured water over him, finally extinguishing the flames on his body.

  And he had just rushed out. The big temple behind him suddenly collapsed with a loud noise, raising a whirlwind of dust and heat that swept towards him.

  Chu Yixuan saw this scene and didn't need to think to guess the worst result. Looking at the collapsed house, he let out a painful shout: "Jun'er."

  The fire burned until dawn, and it wasn't until after daybreak that it gradually died out. Chu Yixuan stayed in Ganquan Palace for the entire night, and no one dared to leave while he was still there. The guards were only able to find a few charred bones in the smoldering ashes. As he gazed at the bones, which were still emitting wisps of smoke, his vision went black and he almost fell over.

  Yi Ling found another dragon-shaped 'jade' pendant in the ashes, he knew it was important, so he handed the 'jade' pendant over to the Emperor.

  Chu Yixuan held this 'jade' pendant, which was bestowed upon her by him on that morning when she was about to move back to Ganquan Palace. Unexpectedly, this 'jade' pendant had returned to his hands again.

  Pinching the 'jade' pendant, Chu Yixuan's face turned cold as he ordered: "Yi Ling, thoroughly investigate this matter and give Yan Cairen a 'just' explanation."
