From the first moment of red light to the moment Zhong Qingye felt uneasy, it was almost just a matter of time, and it was so fast that people were caught off guard.【】

Zhong Qingye was stunned for a moment, put down the rice paper in his hand and walked to the side. As soon as he opened an account, the direction of the red light burning was northwest of Prince Rui's Mansion. The dim red light pierced the eyes, and the black smoke rose violently, in the dark.

The night sky is like a thick sharp sword.

Zhong Qingye's pupils shrank. She was very familiar with the red light and black smoke. Only a big fire could have such power. The night wind blew, bringing some noise into the eardrums, and faintly, you could hear the roaring.

There were messy human voices, the panicked cries of children, and the sound of wood crackling in the flames.

What's going on? What happened?

Zhong Qingye squinted his eyes and looked at the blazing fire through the thick darkness. The distance between them was not close, but he could still feel the steaming heat.

There was a heavy uneasiness in her heart, but she couldn't figure out where it came from.

Zhong Qingye frowned. She hadn't felt this kind of uneasiness without warning for a long, long time since Ah Xuan's death.

Staring at the red sky, Zhong Qingye was suddenly stunned.

northwest……

If she remembers correctly, the direction of Zhong Mansion is northwest of Prince Rui's Mansion...

…………

No. Zhong Qingye touched the left side of her chest soothingly. Through her fingertips, she could detect a different rapid heartbeat. She comforted herself: "No, the Zhong family is just a business family. There is no such thing as a business family."

The truth is that if they cause such a disaster...no one would target them like this..."

The red light is getting brighter and brighter, and almost red-blue flames can be seen faintly. It is like a huge hammer is hanging in the heart, beating the heart violently.

Zhong Qingye stood in front of her in a daze for three minutes, clearly feeling the uneasiness in her chest accumulating little by little. Gritting her teeth slightly, she turned around and ran away.

Dozens of minions who Qi Mo used to keep her under house arrest were standing outside the house. When they saw her coming out of the room with a gloomy look, they immediately surrounded her. One of them cautiously said: "Princess, where are you going so late?"

Zhong Qingye looked very sad and did not talk to them at all. He drove everyone away and rushed directly to the stable. The slaves were startled by her actions and hurriedly reached out to catch her. Zhong Qingye made a mistake.

He avoided their hands, ignored them at all, and walked towards the stables wholeheartedly.

Seeing that they could not stop her, all the slaves looked at each other, some followed Zhong Qingye, and some headed towards Qi Mo's study.

The stables of Prince Rui's Mansion keep many fine horses all year round, each of which is a precious breed. They are served by dedicated servants and are used as vehicles for Qi Mo's daily travels.

It was dinner time at this time, and all the slaves in the stable were not at their posts. Zhong Qingye led a black horse out without any trouble, cut the reins with a knife, climbed on the horse, and raised the whip before he could swing it down.

, the slave who followed her had stopped in front of the horse in panic.

"Empress, where are you going?"

"Get out of the way! I want to leave the house!" Zhong Qingye stopped moving and looked at them with an expression on his face.

"No, your Majesty, the prince has given orders. It's already late now. Is there anything that can't be resolved tomorrow?" The servant tried to persuade her, but several men stopped in front of her horse.

Zhong Qingye glanced sideways at the increasingly brighter sky in the northwest, frowned, and didn't take the boy's words into consideration at all. He wrapped his arms around the reins, raised his whip, and whipped the black horse's buttocks hard.

superior.

"drive!"

The black horse immediately raised its two front legs, roared violently, and was so stimulated by the pain that it ran away without caring whether there was anyone in front of it.

Seeing that the black horse was approaching fiercely and could no longer stop the princess, several slaves did not dare to collide with the black horse directly, even if they were unwilling to do so. They had to step aside, and with a flick of the wrist from the princess, the daggers flew out and bolted the door of the stable.

It was completely cut off, dust was flying, and it had traveled a long distance in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Qingye has never learned equestrian, but she has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running. She still knows how to operate it. In addition, her balance ability is excellent. When she swings the riding whip, the black horse speeds up, and she is not thrown away by the horse.

As it goes on, it becomes more and more proficient.

He ran all the way, heading straight towards Zhongfu.

Since her marriage, Zhong Qingye has never returned to Zhong Mansion. Firstly, it is because she has no good impression of the people in Zhong Mansion. Secondly, there are too many things that have happened these days, which have held her back. Thirdly, because of her

After all, he is not the original Zhong Qingye. If he has too much contact with people from the Zhong Mansion, he might be exposed.

Due to these considerations, the Zhong Mansion became her forbidden area, but no matter what, she occupied the body of someone else's daughter. If something happened to the Zhong Mansion, she could not stand idly by.

As the distance gradually got closer, the red light became brighter and louder, and the noisy wind in her ears became more and more harsh. Zhong Qingye gritted her teeth, and the huge uneasiness in her heart that seemed to come from another soul almost overwhelmed her.

Her whole heart was clenched, and under this uneasiness, she had to slap the horse's butt with more force to drive it to run faster.

Hurry up, hurry up...

After going around a series of turns, he walked through long streets. Zhong Qingye had once walked this road in a sedan chair with eighteen people, and the memory was still fresh in his mind. But compared to the last time, this road seemed to be in memory.

It was stretched continuously, and for a long time, it could not be reached.

The scarlet fire illuminated the entire pitch-black sky, and thick smoke filled the sky. Zhong Qingye galloped on his horse. As the distance gradually approached, a thick smell of burnt corpses mixed with the smoke of burning wood blew towards the clock.

The green leaves eroded her. She held the reins tightly with one hand, leaving an almost purple red mark on the back of her hand.

The burning smell became stronger and stronger. She had to throw away the riding crop and cover her mouth and nose with her hands, trying desperately to suppress the overwhelming nausea in her body. With the sound of horse hooves constantly stepping on the ground, her field of vision was filled with chaos.

Red light.

The fire that shot up into the sky enveloped the entire field of vision, and everything was constantly distorted by the high temperature. Those former beautiful buildings were burned by the fire, making crackling sounds, and some even turned into a pile of black charcoal.

"Hey!" Zhong Qingye pulled the reins violently, and the black horse let out a long and heartbreaking neigh. Under the light of the fire, it raised its two front hooves high, and the black hair on its body shone brightly, scaring the onlookers into panic.

Dispersed in confusion.

Zhong Qingye sat on the quiet black horse, holding the reins tightly, staring at the sea of ​​​​fire in front of him. The air could clearly smell the burnt smell of the corpses being burned by the fire, and it was so strong that it almost enveloped everyone's breath.

.

Zhong Qingye's pupils were full of flames, dark and dark red intertwined together, as if they had been burning for several months. Her pupils were trembling slightly, but her waist was as straight as steel under the light of the fire, staring intently in front of her eyes.

The overwhelming flames seemed to have had their souls sucked away by the sea of ​​​​fire.

There was a muffled bang, like the sound of a beam in a room being burned and falling. The sea of ​​​​fire immediately raised a cloud of sparks, the flames became bigger, and the heat almost hit your face.

The onlookers retreated in unison. No one knew when the fire started. By the time everyone reacted, the fire had covered half of the night sky in Jingyang City. No one knew why it was so humid in April.

The weather would cause such a big fire, but obviously no one wanted to think too deeply about it.

The precious and precise wood roared in the sea of ​​fire, and the flames were like a wild python breathing, wrapping its huge and majestic body layer by layer on those pavilions and buildings that were either exquisite and elegant or majestic.

The fire was soaring into the sky, and the heat was evaporating, making people feel anxious. People who were awakened gathered around the fire scene, some holding pots and utensils, but they couldn't get close at all, so they had to stand far away and watch. The noise became louder and louder.

, broke the original silence of the night, and became loud.

Zhong Qingye sat on the horse, his long hair fluttering in the air, dancing in beautiful arcs in the air. The black horse was a little uneasy because of the heat of the flames. From the noise around him, Zhong Qingye could clearly hear

, no one ran away from the fire scene.

It means that it will last a lifetime.

Zhong Qingye sat upright on the horse. For a long time, her body suddenly swayed. She stretched out her hand and pressed her chest violently. The thin girl frowned tightly, her eyelashes were dark and slender, and they were rolled up at a beautiful angle like a black butterfly.

's tail fin.

There was something beating in the left chest, which seemed very calm, but something was different. The lingering pain in Sisi was not as sharp as cutting flesh with a knife, but it lingered like air, even the smallest of things.

Nerve endings are not spared.

She was obviously not sad, but she felt heartache for no reason. It was as if there was another soul hidden in her body, screaming and roaring crazily.

Zhong Qingye, is that you?

Are you crying out for pain?

The house shrouded in flames in front of him is the home of Zhong Qingye in this world.

Zhong Qingye got off the horse and her legs just touched the ground. Perhaps her body was stiff because she had been sitting for too long. Her whole body tilted and she fell straight to the ground.

All the strength in her body was gone, and she couldn't react at all.

Before her body hit the ground, a hug gently caught her. Zhong Qingye's eyelashes trembled, and she raised her head to meet those deep eyes.

Her eyes suddenly became hot, and tears that did not belong to her flowed out in an instant. Zhong Qingye seemed to have lost control of this body at that moment, and his hands were uncontrollably hugging the person's neck.

"Feng Jin..." she called sadly.
