"Elder sister, how was it? Did it look good?" Su Nuo walked around in a circle in front of Bai Qian, dressed in her clothes.
Her smile widened. "It's good. My Na'er looks the best."
The day passed peacefully. Bei Chen Han came to see Su Nuo, and then he left. Before he left, he wanted Su Nuo to eat more and tell him whatever it was. However, Su Nuo only replied indifferently.
During dinner, Bai Qian watched Su Nuo eat, "Eat more. You don't have any meat on you. Be careful not to look down on you in the future."
"Ah, there's no mausoleum that hates me." As soon as Su Nuo came into contact with the matter of the West Tomb, she became even more foolish.
"Yeah, that's why you have to eat more in the future, making yourself fat, do you understand?"
Su Nuo nodded. However, she seemed to have thought of something wrong and said, "That's not right. I have an elder sister to raise my son, so why should I raise myself?"
"Stupid girl, you have to eat by yourself, don't you?"
Su Nuo thought about it and nodded her head, but then continued, "But with big sister here, I'll definitely get fatter and fatter."
Bai Qian only gently smiled. Su Nuo's appetite had never been this good. After eating the food in front of her, Su Nuo suddenly felt dizzy. She said in a daze, "Sister, why do I feel dizzy?"
Whitesnow watched as Su Nuo slowly closed her eyes and hugged her, saying softly, "That must be because Xiao'er was too tired from playing. Alright, let's get a good night's sleep."
"Yes." Once Su Nuo closed her eyes, she obediently followed his orders. However, her hands were tightly grasping her white sleeves.
Whitesnow gently caressed Su Nuo's face. "Sleep well. When you wake up, nothing will happen."
"Qian Chao, you guys will see each other again. We can't waste any more time now." Bai Yan walked out from the shadows. Whitesnow gave Su Nuo a long and deep look before giving Su Nuo to Bai Yan, "Big Brother, you must send Xiao'er to the promised location safely."
Bai Yan gave Bai Qian a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Qian Chao. Big brother will definitely do it."
"Big brother, you should hurry up and leave." Bai Qian no longer looked at Su Nuo, who was in Bai Yan's embrace, and turned around. Bai Yan said that his brother would be back soon and left quickly.
When she turned around again, she said, "Bring him in." Not long later, the spy came in with a gunny sack over his shoulder. He opened the sack to reveal a person who looked exactly like Su Nuo.
Bai Qian glanced at it and was quite satisfied. She said, "Move faster."
So the spy picked up the woman who looked exactly like Su Nuo but was completely unconscious and put her on the bed. "Does anyone know?"
The spy said, "That won't happen. According to the Empress's instructions, he should be facing death, so no one will notice. Moreover, he used a disguise technique, so even more people won't know about it."
"Yes." Bai Qian replied. Seeing that everything was settled, she waved her hand to allow the spy to leave. She stayed in the room for a while and also left.
Tonight, the starry sky was exceptionally bright, and as she watched, she revealed a smile. "Xiao'er, it's finally over. Your pain."
Li Yu'er and Xiao Yin snuck into the house. Li Yu'er's expression wasn't very good, but her eyes were surprisingly bright. If one didn't look closely, they would be able to see the hatred that came out of her eyes. The room was still lit up by candlelight. It wasn't particularly bright, but one could see the faces of people clearly.
Xiao Yin stepped forward and lifted the blanket to reveal the person inside. When Li Yu'er saw Su Nuo's face, she was filled with so much hatred that her body was trembling. Xiao Yin lowered his voice and said, "Miss, let's move."
As soon as Xiao Yin's voice came out, she saw Li Yu'er take out a dagger from her sleeve, and Xiao Yin was stunned, seeing Li Yu'er holding the dagger, stabbing fiercely at Su Nuo without thinking, because of the sudden sharp pain, even the unconscious people started to twitch, and the blood immediately spurted out, splattering on Li Yu'er's body.
Xiao Yin was so shocked by this scene that he was at a loss for words. Finally, Li Yu'er threw the dagger on the ground and said, "Burn it." His voice was so cold that it was devoid of emotion.
Only then did Xiao Yin react. She was in a daze for a moment before quickly grabbing the candle flame and igniting it at a place where it would light up easily. Very soon, the fire got bigger.
"Miss, let's go quickly." Little Silver said.
In the blazing fire, Li Yu'er smiled sinisterly, "Child, mother will take revenge for you. Mother will finally take revenge for you."
Seeing that the fire was about to burn down, Xiao Yin did not care anymore and rushed out while pulling Li Yu'er with him.
The flames had long since engulfed the entire room, and were still licking around like tongues of flame. Bai Qian looked at the intense flames and smiled with unprecedented gentleness, as if she was looking at Su Nuo.
Xiao Yin and Li Yu'er ran forward.
"Halt." Suddenly, Bai Qian said this. The guards on both sides had already surrounded the area.
Li Yu'er's face was pale as she stared in disbelief, her body shaking violently.
Bai Qian walked up to Li Yu'er and said, "Little sister, it's so late. What are you doing here?" Behind her was the raging fire. Bai Qian, on the other hand, was standing unhurriedly in front of Li Yu'er, smiling.
At that moment, Li Yu'er suddenly came back to her senses. "You set up that trap."
"Yes." Bai Qian moved to Li Yu'er's side and admitted it without any hesitation.
Instantly, Li Yu'er's eyes turned red, but she immediately laughed coldly and said, "Bai Qian, I thought you were very good to your little sister. So it turns out you even planned this out for Su Nuo."
"Really? Na'er is my little sister, why do you think I would be so ruthless as to kill you? But you —" White-colored eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Li Yu'er, you're jealous of my Na'er, so jealous of her love and hatred, so you deliberately set fire to her, and kill her. Come, do it on the spot." Bai Qian ordered.
Li Yu'er said sharply to Bai Qian, "You said I did it, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Bai Qian repeated in disdain. Xiao Yin walked out from behind Li Yu'er and knelt on the ground. "Esteemed Empress, this servant can testify that it was Empress Jingfei who set the fire."
Li Yu'er turned to look at Xiao Yin in disbelief, spitting out each word, "What did you say?"
Xiao Yin looked straight at Li Yu'er. "This servant said that it was Imperial Concubine Jingfei who deliberately acted so viciously."
Li Yu'er's eyes widened: "You betrayed me?"
Xiao Yin snorted coldly, "Yes, why is it that you are the same father? You can be high and mighty, but I want to live as your personal maid. I can't accept this!" Xiao Yin's face was filled with hatred.
"So, Li Yu'er, the Li family's eldest daughter, please … die." Xiao Yin said with a smile.
Suddenly, Li Yu'er quickly drew her guard's sword and thrust it into Xiao Yin's chest, "Dream on, Li Xiao Yin, let me tell you, you are a lowly bastard born to be my servant. You want to be my position and your dreams." As he spoke, he completely pierced through that sword.
Xiao Yin's smile was still plastered on her face, but at the moment, her eyes were wide open as she looked at Li Yu'er.
The night was full of fire. Everything was growing crazily, being brutally devoured.
"Bai Qian, you should die too." Li Yu'er suddenly pulled out Xiao Yin's sword and was about to stab at Bai Qian's body. The guards at the side tried to stop her, but they were stopped by Bai Qian. The sword stabbed into her body, but because they had lost their minds, the sword was bent and did not harm her vital parts.
"Li Yu'er, I'm sorry, but you've lost everything. You won't get anything. As for me, I will be happy outside for the rest of my life." Bai Qian smiled into her ear as he finished speaking. Then, with his last bit of strength, he suddenly pushed her away and sternly said, "Kill her."
Very quickly, those shallow and trusted guards came forward and took care of Li Yu'er.
"Put out the fire." Bai Qian spat out two words before fainting.
The rain was not heavy in the sky, but like the fire, it was getting smaller.
Beichen had been in the main hall the whole time, doing nothing, but his chest was stuffy for no reason, and he felt very uncomfortable. Suddenly, a eunuch shouted in a hurry from outside, "The empress is injured, there's a fire."
Bei Chen Han stood up, feeling that something had happened, grabbed hold of the panicking young eunuch at the door and asked: "What's going on?"
When the eunuch saw that it was the emperor, he was so frightened that he stammered, "The Empress' quarters are on fire. Empress —" Before he could say anything, Beichen Han had already left like the wind.
A fire was set, and Beichen's heart was beating rapidly. Nothing was wrong with his words, absolutely nothing was wrong with his words. By the time Bei Chen Han arrived, Su Nuo's room was already on fire, but this time the fire was extremely fierce. Even half of the shallow bedroom was burnt to ashes.
The servants that came in and out of the palace fell into chaos, while the imperial physician examined Whitey's wounds on the ground.
"Xiao'er, Xiao'er." The moment Bei Chen Han arrived, he frantically called out Su Nuo's name, but there was no sign of Su Nuo. Bei Chen Han was scared, and grabbed onto someone as he asked, "Where's Xiao'er, where's Xiao'er?"
That servant was shocked, but he was still a servant of the White Dew Palace. He knew about Su Nuo and whispered, "Miss Su Nuo, it seems to be over there." He pointed at the burning house.
Bei Chenghan did not even look at the person and just threw him away. He ran into the room and greeted, "Xiao'er, Xiao'er."
When the servants saw that the emperor had entered such a place, they hurriedly said, "Your majesty, I can't wait any longer. Hurry and come out."
Bei Chenghan ignored them all and continued searching through the ruins. "Xiao'er, where are you? Xiao'er, where are you?" However, no one could see that Bei Chen Han's hands were trembling violently.
"Xiao'er, stay there. Don't scare me. We're not playing hide and seek. Xiao'er, be good and come out quickly. Bei Chen Han is coaxing a young child.
Suddenly, Bei Chenhan's gaze fell upon the charred corpse that was nowhere to be seen. In an instant, the entire world became quiet, leaving only the sound of rain, while the servants on the side did not dare to make a sound. They had never seen their high and mighty emperor show such an expression, even when using all the words he had in this time, it was impossible to describe.
Bei Chen Han did not speak, nor did he shout. He just turned around, intending to leave.
At this moment, the red-clothed Xi Ling rushed over and shouted, "Idiot girl, where are you? Idiot woman, idiot woman!" Just like an anxious child, he grabbed the person and asked, "Idiot woman, is she alright?"
The person being held captive was fooled by his appearance and didn't say anything for a moment.
"If you don't f * cking sleep, I'll kill you with a single palm." Xi Ling had already raised his hand and was about to slash down when that person recovered from his shock. He stretched out his hand and pointed shakily at the corpse before whispering, "It was Imperial Concubine Jing who set the fire. She even stabbed the empress who found her." However, no one at the scene listened, but this voice clearly reverberated in the air.
Li Yu'er and Xiao Yin were still lying dead on the ground, the rustling rain that landed on their bodies was accompanied by a dark red blood that turned into a small puddle.
