The two of them quietly embraced each other. In this dark era, in the imperial family that was deep into the sea, their hearts were tightly entwined.

"Never leave, never leave!"

At night, the sky was filled with stars, and the moon hung high in the sky. Everything between the heaven and earth was hazy.

In the depths of the palace sat three human silhouettes.

"Empress, the preparations for the plan have been completed. Only the east wind is left." At this moment, a person shrouded in a black cloak spoke with a low voice.

Dongfang Ziqing quietly sat at the head of the group. Her eyes were surging with splendor as the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

"Since it's like that, we'll carry out the plan tomorrow night. I'll wait for you here." Dongfang Ziqing replied.

"En!" The mysterious person gave a slight grunt and opened the window. In a flash, it was strung out.

Xue Mei, who was standing beside them, was confused. She asked doubtfully, "Miss, what do I need to do?" Xuemei was a very sensible maid. The reason why she was liked by Dongfang Ziqing was because, aside from being loyal, she knew not to ask questions.

Dongfang Ziqing smiled slightly. She was very satisfied with Xue Mei's performance. She asked: "Xue Mei, from now on, we will share the same hardships and hardships as you. We might die in the end. Are you afraid?"

Xue Mei shook her head and said firmly, "I'm not afraid."

Dongfang Ziqing slightly nodded and signaled for Xue Mei to come over. She then whispered in his ear: "Tomorrow night, we will …"

The more Xue Mei listened, the more determined she became. She continuously nodded her head to show that she understood.

The next day, night arrived. The pitch-black night sky seemed to be covered by a black cloth, and not a single strand of starlight could be seen.

Within the Yi Yuan Palace, Xue Mei held two big buckets and quietly walked around the palace. She then poured the liquid from the buckets around the palace.

After doing all this, Xuemei placed the two big wooden barrels in front of the palace door, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Miss, everything is ready." Xue Mei whispered to Dongfang Ziqing, who was sitting on the throne.

Dongfang Ziqing was sitting there alone. She slightly nodded and said: "Mhm, let's wait quietly next."

Xue Mei nodded and left.

"Xuanyuan Chen Mo, my actions are all for the sake of being able to take revenge on you. You should feel honored."

"At the same time, you should feel more at ease. If I'm not here, you won't have to pressure me to stand behind Shangguan Bian Xue in broad daylight."

"Shangguan Canxue, I originally had no enmity with you, but you treated me like this, so I had no choice but to counterattack. First, you become a good queen for a while, or else you won't have another chance."

Dongfang Ziqing sat alone at the head of the table. In the spacious hall, she mumbled to herself as if she was crazy.

After about an hour, a "Kuang" sound rang out, waking Dongfang Ziqing who was still in a trance.

A figure shrouded in a black cloak opened the window and jumped in.

"Empress, everything is ready. You can begin." The shadow said to Dongfang Ziqing, then turned around and opened the door. Together with Xue Mei, he dragged the two big sacks inside.

Dong Fang Ziqing's expression was resolute as she nodded slightly and walked towards the two sacks.

When he reached the side of the sack, he personally untied it. After he untied it, 3000 strands of black hair flew out from the bag.

Dongfang Ziqing's expression was indifferent. There was not the slightest bit of emotion on her face. She expressionlessly opened the sack completely and two girls as beautiful as flowers quietly fell to the ground.

Dongfang Ziqing raised her head and took a deep breath.

The mysterious man looked at the hesitant Dongfang Ziqing and said in a low voice: "Empress, the person who has accomplished great things, don't think too much about it."

Dongfang Ziqing slightly nodded. She opened her eyes and slightly bowed towards the two men who were lying on the ground. She quietly said, "I'm sorry, the two of you."

After that, the mysterious man threw out his hands and took out a long rope that he had prepared beforehand. He tied up the two unconscious women on the ground.

Seeing that the mysterious person had finished, Dongfang Ziqing sighed and said faintly, "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing this, Xue Mei also followed him.

When they arrived outside the palace, Dongfang Ziqing took a glance at the familiar scenery and thought back to those unforgettable scenes from the past. Her heart felt as if it was stabbed by a knife.

After which, Dongfang Ziqing gritted her teeth. Her expression became resolute as she shouted: "Light the fire!"

Hearing her words, Xue Mei took out a flint stone from her bosom and lit the torch that she had prepared beforehand. She then threw it on the ground without hesitation.

"Crash!" As soon as the torch touched the ground, a great fire immediately erupted. With the main entrance as the center, two lines of fire spread out, quickly enveloping the entire palace.

The temperature of the area rose rapidly as crackling sounds could be heard. Dongfang Ziqing let out a long breath as she looked at the burning palace before turning around and leaving.

Xue Mei followed right behind him. That mysterious person had opened the Yi Palace's outer door at the first possible moment. Under the pitch-black night sky, he disappeared into the night with Dongfang Ziqing and Xue Mei.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The Yiming Palace's inner palace was on fire. It was burning so hard that the once glorious palace was no longer recognizable. The surrounding temperature continued to rise.

boom * A huge explosion rang out. The palace that was originally indestructible also crumbled.

Within the palace, the two girls who were on the verge of being burned to death opened their eyes. Two clear lines of tears appeared in each of their eyes.

"Miss Zi Qing, do you want to live well?" The two girls cried out before they were engulfed by the raging fire.

At this moment, most of the people within the palace were alarmed. The imperial guards quickly rushed over, and even the young emperor, Xuanyuan Chenmo, was alarmed.

When Liu Ming heard that it was the Yiming Palace's fire, he was immediately enraged. With a single order, he beheaded the two leaders of the imperial guards responsible for the safety of the palace and quickly rushed to the Yiming Palace.

At the same time, Shangguan Canxue was also alarmed, but he was not as shocked as the others. Instead, he revealed a smile of success from his conspiracy.

And then he shouted, "Did something happen to big sister Qing Er?" He then rushed to the Yi Palace.

At this moment, the entire palace was alarmed. What kind of place was the Yi Palace? That was where the current Queen lived. Although she was beaten into the Leng Palace, she was still the Queen.

By the time the young emperor, Xuan Yuan, and Chen Mo arrived, there were already imperial guards fighting the fire. However, it was already too late. The entire Yi Palace's inner palace had already been reduced to ruins.

The heartless fire was still burning as thick black smoke filled the air, spreading everywhere along with a thick burnt smell.

"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and save the fire. If the empress loses, this emperor will test you all."

Following the emperor's command, all of the imperial guards and ministers came forward to put out the fire.

An hour later, the fire was put out, and the imperial guards brought out charred corpses from the ruined palaces.

All of the imperial physicians hastened to move forward. After examining the situation, they shook their heads, claiming that they were powerless to reverse the situation.
