As if someone poured ice water over his head, Yun Qixi instantly became clear-headed and quickly crawled up. She actually did not feel any pain in her leg.

Yun Qi had noticed the fire earlier than she had and was standing by the door, forcefully pulling it open.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he couldn't open it after a few tries, Yun Qixi's throat became hoarse from nervousness.

"I can't open it." Yun Qi did not turn back as his answer was rather calm, but his hand continued to pull on the sword without giving up.

"Everyone, get up. It's on fire." Yun Qixi hurriedly called out to the others who were still sleeping soundly.

Everyone woke up one after another, stunned by the scene before them. Everyone in the room scrambled to their feet. Some of them hurriedly knocked on the door, some of them cried out, some of them screamed. A few imperial physicians had probably never encountered such an unforeseen event before, and they were so frightened that they were at a loss for what to do.

For a moment, the entire room burst into an uproar.

"The doors and windows can't be opened. There must be someone who wants to burn all of us down here." Yun Qi punched the door heavily, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Hearing his words, the crying sounds in the room became even more miserable due to despair. Especially for women, they could no longer show any signs of calmness in the face of such a situation.

But Yun Qixi, who was initially nervous, suddenly calmed down at this moment, because she heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside.

"Don't cry, there's noise from outside." Her voice was almost harsh. The women stopped talking, but there was still fear in their eyes. Their sobs were choked in their throats.

Yun Qixi leaned on the door and listened carefully to the sounds coming from outside. The sound of the fire was very clear, and in the middle, there were a series of sounds of blade and sword clashing.

The fire was getting hotter and hotter. The window paper was lit up and soon the entire window was on fire. The temperature of the door began to heat up. The smoke kept coming in, burning his skin. The smoke that came in made his throat dry and hoarse.

Xiao Yu's physique was not as good as before. At this moment, she was curled up in pain. Yun Qixi suddenly remembered that there was a pot of water at the corner of the house, she immediately bent down to cover her nose, and then fumbled her way over. Along the way, her eyes were filled with tears, and when she finally touched the pot, she could no longer see the room full of smoke, and shouted to everyone.

"Everyone, come here and tear off a piece of your own clothes. Wipe it and cover your mouth and nose with your hands. Squat down. Don't give up. The person who saved us is outside. We will definitely be saved."

Her voice was dry and hoarse, mixed with the sound of a cough.

Someone heard him and came over, but some of them were already curled up on the ground, as if they didn't have the strength to do so. Yun Qixi immediately tore off a piece of her clothes and got wet. She found Xiao Yu amidst the black smoke and covered his face with the wet cloth.

"Xiao Yu, cough cough. Wake up, wake up, cough cough …"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yun Qi used all sorts of tools to smash at the windows, but it was useless. The windows must have been nailed shut from the outside. Gradually, the sound of the smash seemed to become further and further away, and Yun Qixi's consciousness gradually disappeared.

Yun Qi smashed the chair a few times, and rushed over to help Yun Qixi, who was already beside Xiao Yu, up.

"How are you?"

In the midst of the smoke, Yun Qixi could vaguely see Yun Qi's anxious face. She forced herself to move her hands, "I'm fine, we have to persevere. We'll definitely be saved, I don't believe it. Can't tell the difference between a good person and a bad person? "

It was as if she heard Yun Qi's chuckle, or perhaps she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Sometimes, the heavens are really clouded over. We can't count on the heavens. Hold on for a while, we'll definitely be saved."

She nodded weakly. "You're right, you can't count on God. God, he..." "It's too unreliable."

In the end, Yun Qi seemed to have said a lot of things, but she could only vaguely see him opening his mouth and not hear what he was saying.

Then, the burning wooden door collapsed and a few people rushed in from outside. One of them was Xiang Fei. One of them swept a glance at the door, and directly rushed towards Yun Qixi, picking her up from the ground with her strong arms. The moment Yun Qixi saw this face, she closed her eyes in relief.

Just say that the heavens would not be blind.

When she woke up, it was already a day later.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the Duke of Guo's room, lying on a soft and comfortable bed.

"Miss Er, you have finally woken up."

The first thing he heard was Qiao Er's excited voice, while her eyes had already swollen like walnuts.

Her heart warmed as she weakly smiled at her. "What are you crying for? Aren't I fine?"

Qiao Er's tears fell down continuously, "Miss Er, when Qiao Er saw you being carried back by the Eldest Young Master, she was unconscious. It was really scary. "It's good that you're alright, otherwise this servant will definitely blame myself for my life. At that time, this servant should have followed you for life."

"So what if you follow me? Do you have unrivaled martial arts to defeat the bad guys, or can the rain from heaven extinguish this fire? "You can't, you can only become a hindrance to me." Yun Qixi slowly said those unkind words, but Qiao Er's eyes became watery again. She knew that she wasn't belittling, she was doing it for her own good.

The Qiao Er said depressingly, "Yes, but this servant still regrets that I did not drag you along with me at that time and let you take the risk by yourself. If you really had something to do, how could this servant explain it to the Heavenly Lady?"

Yun Qixi smiled warmly and said softly, "I don't regret it."

"Did Miss Er find the person you were looking for?" Qiao Er asked.

Yun Qixi suddenly thought of Yun Qi and Xiao Yu. She grabbed Qiao Er and stared at her, "How are the others?"

Qiao Er looked at her carefully and answered, "It was said that several of them were burned to death."

"You can't even protect yourself, and you're still in the mood to care about others?" A sharp voice came from the door.

Yun Qixi turned her head and saw Yun Lanyue arrogantly standing at the door, looking at him with a proud and complacent expression.

Following that, another person appeared at the door. It was her most pretentious mother.

Yun Qixi realized that the mother and daughter pair was about to start another big show.

Su Yuwan gave Yun Qixi a perfect smile from afar. " Qixi, you're awake, that's great. We've always been worried. "

Yun Qixi was too lazy to reply as she laid down on the bed relaxed, quietly watching her act.

"Your father has been worried. He would be very happy if he knew that you've woken up."

Pretend, continue acting!

Yun Qixi did not speak the entire time, causing Su Yuwan to feel slightly awkward, she waved her hand, and two servants came up with buckets in their hands.

"All of you, clean this yard up carefully." After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Qixi apologetically. "Qixi, don't think too much into it, I'm doing this for the good of everyone in the clan. After all, you've stayed in the Plague Village before …"

Yun Qixi sighed softly, wanting to pretend to be mute wasn't easy for her as a chatterbox.

"Aunt, you are so loving and full of kindness for others, but you have never been so selfless for yourself. It is really touching to be so loving and selfless. But I still have to remind you that you'd better not come to my house.

When Yun Qixi said this, she shrank back in fear and pulled at Su Yuwan's sleeves.

"That's right, mother. It's best if we don't. I don't know what brother is thinking, and he even brought her back from the Plague Village."

"Huanyue, why do you say that? You and Qixi are sisters, and will still be sister-in-law. We'll always be family, do you understand? " Su Yuwan's words were sincere and earnest.

Yun Qixi especially wanted to laugh, but she did, and Yun Lanyue actually laughed too, because when she heard the words' sister-in-law ', thinking that Yun Qixi was going to marry the Crippled King who was sitting on a wheelchair, she became extremely happy.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Yun Chong scolded from the doorway, his eyes looking at the two people who were scattering the powder all over the place with the bucket.

Su Yuwan immediately revealed a gentle smile, "Chong'er, as the mistress, I naturally have to be responsible to everyone in the household. "After all, Qi Xi came from Plague Village, and my mother was responsible for other people in the family. I explained to Qi Xi earlier, you have to understand her."

"All of you, leave." Yun Chong said to the two servants who were busy.

The two servants looked at Yun Chong, then looked at Su Yuwan, as if they did not know what to do.

"Didn't I tell you to go down?" Yun Chong suddenly roared.

Usually, Yun Chong would never be strict with his subordinates, but when he shouted that out loud, it was very loud and expressed his anger. The two servants did not dare to stay any longer, they carried their buckets and quickly went down.

Even Su Yuwan and Yun Lanyue were shocked, "Chong, Chong'er, what are you doing, mother is doing this for everyone's benefit."

"Mom, you go down first, I need to talk to Qi Xi for a while." Yun Chong frowned, revealing a trace of impatience.

When Yun Chong shouted at him just now, he was shouting at the two servants. In reality, how could someone as smart as Su Yuwan not notice that her son was angry at him?

A trace of grievance flashed across her face. However, she quickly adjusted herself and forced a smile.

"Alright, then we'll be leaving first. Qi Xi has suffered a lot these days as well, so you better comfort her."

Fortunately, she left in time. Otherwise, Yun Qixi felt that she would have jumped off the bed and rushed over to tear off her fake skin.

Yun Chong walked over, and stopped not far from the bed as he said to Qiao Er, "Qiao Er, you may leave."

"Oh," Qiao Er saw that Yun Chong's expression wasn't good and glanced at Yun Qixi worriedly. After seeing that Yun Qixi gave her a comforting look, she slowly walked out.

If she knew what news Yun Chong was going to bring her, she would definitely not be this calm.
