Seeing Ginkgo biloba's pair of innocent eyes blink in front of her, she obviously thought she was daydreaming.

Forget it, I can't communicate with these ancient people in the first place.

"Go out and eat first, I need to rest."

She sent the Ginkgo biloba away with a shout.

"But Princess, you will starve if you don't eat it."

"Don't worry, I'm not hungry. You should hurry up and leave. "

Chu Ci realized that she was already depressed. If she did not find a suitable way to earn money, she would definitely vomit blood.

Seeing that he could not persuade Chu Ci, the Ginkgo biloba could only give up, "Princess, then I will leave first."

"Go, go."

Burying in the pillow, Chu Ci's muffled voice came out.

Although he was feeling depressed, Chu Ci was not sleepy at all.

Judging from the color of the sky, it was now only seven or eight in the evening. If it were her era, nightlife would have not even begun. Who would have gone to bed so early?

However, in this kind of place, other than sleeping and counting stars, she really couldn't think of any other nightlife.

Could it be that he wanted to go out and drink some wine?

She lay on the bed and tossed and turned for more than two hours without falling asleep. In the end, she simply sat up from the bed.

Her irritable mood caused her to lose all sleep and become more and more clear-headed.

He opened the bedroom door and walked out. At this time, it was already past midnight. In Prince Mansion, other than the patrolling guards, most of the people had already gone to bed.

The clear and bright starry sky twinkled brightly. The only advantage of ancient times was that they could clearly see the dazzling stars in the sky so close to each other.

Night time was exceptionally quiet, and the moonlight was bright and clear. For the first time, Chu Ci felt a sense of homesickness, and did not know if she would be able to return in this lifetime.

"Sigh …"

With a long sigh, she sat down at the stone table in the yard.

Gulp...

Just as he sat down, he heard a wave of hungry protest in his stomach.

She touched her stomach and realized that she was hungry.

"Where are we going to find something to eat when we're hungry?"

She touched her stomach that was growling and whispered to herself.

However, if she didn't eat it, then she wouldn't be able to sleep that night.

"I'll go to the kitchen and look around."

Then, he got up and walked towards the kitchen in the backyard.

Fortunately, the leaf dryer was not luxurious, and was well-equipped. The kitchen was also ready.

But it was empty. Nothing.

"This is too much. Such a big kitchen, yet there isn't even the slightest bit of food prepared."

She was so angry that she started to curse Rong Yu again in her heart.

After going up and down for a long time, she finally found a few hard and cold steamed buns. Although they did look a bit inferior, she couldn't be picky about food at this time.

She took the bread out of the cupboard and went to the stove. She put the bread in the drawer and heated it, but this time, it was difficult for her to do so.

"I still have to start a fire..."

This ancient people were always so inconvenient to do things, they would even need to light a fire to heat something up. At their place, they could just throw it into the microwave.

Sigh...

While shaking her head and sighing, she picked up the fire piston beside her and started to light the fire.

Based on her memory, she tried to make a fire on the television. Fortunately, it was lit.

"Sis is indeed suited to survive in adversity."

She spoke proudly to herself as she stuffed the firewood under the stove.

Just as she was feeling happy from the burning, suddenly, the smell of burning fabric wafted through her nose, getting stronger and stronger.

"What's charred?"

She whispered to herself and looked suspiciously into the pot.

Impossible! She put so much water in the pot, how could it burn off just like that?

When she stood up, she realized that it wasn't the water in the pot that was burnt, but the fire on her body.

At some point, her voluminous dress had caught fire under the stove. When she realized this, the fire had already reached her waist.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Fire!"

She screamed as she scrambled to take off her coat.

This ancient man's clothes were too complicated, coupled with the panic and panic, she had to put a lot of effort before she finally took off her clothes and casually threw them to the side.

At this moment, it was too late for her to think too much. The inner garment inside was also covered in flames.

"This is the end."

She was flicking at the flames as she ran out of the kitchen.

He could already feel a scorching pain on his arms and waist.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was an empty water tank in the courtyard. Normally, she received a lot of rain water, so without saying anything, she rushed up and jumped into the water tank.

Even though it was midsummer, the temperature was still a little low at night. Adding to the fact that he jumped into the water tank, it had already been a few minutes since Chu Ci had experienced the "Ice and Fire Twin Heavens".

Fortunately, the fire on her body had gone out, but when she crawled out of the water tank with her trembling body, she found that the entire kitchen was on fire.

"Oh no, burn this house. scum man can't kill me."

Not caring about getting soaked, she shouted, "Fire, fire!" while picking up a wooden basin beside her and started watering it.

The originally quiet leaf dryer was woken up by the noise.

Due to the dry weather, the fire spread very fast. Although the servants had already moved out, they were still unable to extinguish the fire.

"Go get someone!"

It was unknown who shouted, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger. It seemed like it was about to spread to the front yard.

In the study.

Although it was already late at night, Rong Yu was still flipping through the documents sent over by the various counties.

"Fire, fire, fire …"

The quiet study room was suddenly broken by a series of urgent cries for help.

Rong Yu's brows slightly furrowed, and he put down the paper in his hand. He then heard the sound of someone continuing to speak from outside the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of a ladle colliding.

"Quick, go save the fire, leaf dryer is on fire, the fire is huge …"

Rong Yu's heart suddenly trembled, an unknown fear flashed past his eyes, and in the next second, following the sound of the door opening, a figure quickly disappeared from the study room, flying straight for leaf dryer, who was engulfed in flames.

"Quick, quick..."

The moment Rong Yu stepped into the courtyard of the leaf dryer, he saw the backyard. The flames soared to the sky, giving him too much time to think.

In the backyard, the fierce fire made the summer night cold, but it also added a little more heat.

Immediately after, Chu Ci's face that was covered by the smoke appeared clearly in his line of sight. The heart that was held in her throat, for a moment, calmed down unknowingly, just like the unconscious fear he had in the beginning.
