The palace at night was empty and dark. The guards in the palace also changed waves after waves.

Inside Weiyang Palace, Mu Jiuer, who was supposed to be sound asleep, was actually lying on her bed. She turned her head to look at the door, and after confirming that all the maids in the hall were asleep, she sat up, walked to the side of the table and lit up the candles.

This was the best chance.

Thinking this way, she overturned the recently lit candlestick.

”Hu!” The fire on the candlestick quickly spread and ignited the Xuan paper on the table. Mu Jiuer seemed to think that the fire was not strong enough, he lit a candle and threw it into the bed that he was lying on. In the blink of an eye, the dry quilt was lit up, releasing a crackling sound.

She stood close to the door and watched the fire spread to half of the room. Then, she turned around and rushed anxiously to Su Ruanyu and his mother's room. Wake up! ”

Su Ruanyu was half awake when he heard Mu Jiuer say, ”Sister-in-law, since the fire is happening now, quickly run away! Take Little Yan and run out of the palace!”

Hearing that, Su Ruanyu instantly became clear-headed and looked at Mu Jiuer vigilantly.

Mu Jiuer did not notice her abnormality and continued to stuff the exit token and bag of silver into her hands, saying in a low voice, ”Sister-in-law, take this medallion and you will be able to leave the palace gates. After leaving the palace, you guys walked far away, this bag of silver is enough for you guys to spend for a year.

”What about you?” Su Ruanyu did not move.

”I have my own ways. Don't worry about that for now, there's not much time left. Hurry up and bring Little Yan away.” Mu Jiuer anxiously helped Su Ruanyu up, and then placed the sleeping Little Yan in her embrace.

Seeing that, Su Ruanyu slowly followed behind Mu Jiuer, but her lowered eyes blocked her thoughts.

When the three of them ran out of Weiyang Palace, the fire had already reached its boiling point. However, Mu Jiuer stopped in his tracks at this moment, ”Sister-in-law, you should take Little Yan with you and leave first.” With that, he returned to Weiyang Palace without looking back.

”Hey, you …” Before Su Ruanyu could ask about the reason, Mu Jiuer had already disappeared. She looked at the child in her arms, then at the burning Weiyang Palace, her eyes moved a little, but she did not go to the entrance of the palace. Instead, she ran in the direction of Yangxin Palace.

In Weiyang Palace, Mu Jiuer ran back to his own sleeping quarters, and stepped back step by step.

The fire grew larger and larger, but her steps were firm. She raised her hand to stroke her stomach, a gentle smile on her face.

Child, mother will accompany you.

Mu Jiuer raised his eyes to look at the sea of fire, as if he was looking at the clansmen who had died in that sea of fire.

Father, mother, we're coming to accompany you.

”Mu Jiuer, you dare!” Qin Yan's furious voice came from outside the hall, ”If you dare to die, we will cut that mother and daughter to pieces!”

Mu Jiuer seemed to not have heard, and allowed himself to be slowly engulfed by the sea of flames.
