Chapter 147 - Phoenix Rebirth with a Monarch's Heart

Hong Zhong still remembered that a second before the huge fire engulfed the orphanage, Chen Hao said to himself with a face full of sincerity, "Seventh Brother, I really love you, but don't blame me for coming this far. If you have to blame something, then blame your Big Sister for being too stubborn, and it was her that refused to sell the orphanage's land.

Hehe, this is the man who once said that he loved her for his entire life. In fact, it's just for money. For the orphanage's land. This is the truth!

The painful memory in the depths of his mind made Hong Zhong's mind collapse. He hugged his head and sat on the ground powerlessly, but upon seeing this, Qing Ya covered her mouth, and endured the tears that welled up in her eyes. She extended her hand to pull Hong Zhong into her embrace: "Young miss, we won't be able to last long on this roof, if this goes on, we won't be burned to death, or else we'll choke to death!"

"None, none at all, all dead." Hong Zhong hugged her knees as she was still immersed in the painful memories in the depths of her mind. The tears in her eyes rolled down like beads with broken strings. The sisters who had spoiled her for 20 years were all gone in an instant!

… ….

At this moment, the news that the Cold Palace had lost water quickly spread throughout the entire palace.

Panicking, everyone brought buckets and basins and rushed over from all directions to save the fire.

After Baili Mingyue received the news, she stood up and flew out without even saying goodbye.

As for Baili Yi Chen, he subconsciously glanced at where Hong Zhong was sitting. When he saw the empty spot, he had a bad premonition.

Leaving behind a group of awkward looking guests, I looked at you, there was nothing to say. After all, they were on fire at the back yard, and it made perfect sense for them to go.

Baili Yi Chen looked at the raging flames in front of him and asked with a frown, "Is there anyone inside?" The fire was so intense. If there was anyone inside, it would be disastrous. Those who rushed in after him would undoubtedly die!

Therefore, if there was no one inside, it would only be a cold palace. Once it was burnt, it would be burned. There was no need to let the guards risk their lives to save the fire!

"Reporting to the Emperor, this is the Cold Palace, there should be no one here!" A guard quickly replied.

Baili Yi Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no one inside. He swept a glance at Baili Mingyue, who had a cold expression on her face. It could be seen that he was very nervous right now.

… ….

Hong Zhong powerlessly hid herself in a corner, her face full of tears, as she quietly whispered: "None, none at all."

Qing Ya looked at Hong Zhong's face that was covered in tears and thought that she was sick of the smoke. She unhesitatingly took off her jacket and wrapped it around Hong Zhong's body to prevent her from getting burned by the fire.

As she said that, she wanted to help Hong Zhong up, but because the effects of the Ten Incense Soft Muscle Powder had not passed, even walking out by herself was a problem. Not to mention bringing along the absent-minded Hong Zhong.

"Crack." A crisp sound came from the roof.

It was the sound of the roof beams being burned, unable to bear the weight. Not long after, a blazing beam of light fell down from the roof and landed in front of Qing Ya, scaring her into staggering. Hong Zhong, who was supported by Qing Ya, also felt completely powerless, after staggering for a bit, the two of them fell down.

Qing Ya quickly stood up and looked at Hong Zhong with a face full of nervousness: "Miss, are you alright?"

Hong Zhong turned her head faintly, and looked at Qingya calmly. "Qingya, you may leave. You can't go out with me. " Since her sisters were already dead, there wasn't much point in living now. It would be a good idea to go down and reunite with her sisters as soon as possible.

"No. If you don't leave, then Qingya won't leave. If you want to die, Qingya will die with you." Lady Ya looked at Hong Zhong with determination. "You're a Third Miss of the General Zhenguo, so you must not give up. You must live on with all you have!"

Looking at her resolute expression of elegance, Hong Zhong finally regained his senses from his grief. In his mind, the last smile Third Sister revealed to him after pushing out the sea of fire and the words: "Little Wu, quickly go and live well!"

But, after Third Sister did the last thing she did to push Qin Qiqi out of the fire, she didn't know that everything she did was in vain because of the man called Chen Hao who locked the doors to the orphanage, and in the end, Qin Qiqi was still suffocated to death in his bedroom!

Hong Zhong took a deep breath, and coughed out from the thick smoke. Qing Ya supported him, "Let's go through the back door!"

"Little Wu, quickly go! Live well!"

This was third sister's last sentence and third sister's last hope for her. In her previous life, she couldn't accomplish it, but since the heavens had given her a chance to be reborn, how could she give up on herself like this and live up to her third sister's expectations!

The palace was very big, and all that entered it was a bright red fire. After the pillars of wood in the palace burned, they started to fall down everywhere.

"Clang dang ~ ~" A beam of flames shot down from above Hong Zhong's head.

Hong Zhong looked at the beam, and then turned to take a look at Qingya. Right now, there was fire everywhere. Both she and Qingya had no strength left in their bodies and could not dodge at all. Was there really no way to dodge the beam right now?

Forget it. If I can't dodge, then I won't!

It was just that she felt extremely guilty after implicating elegance. If Qingya hadn't followed him, she wouldn't have ended up like this, either burned to death or choked to death. When Qing Ya saw the apologetic look on her young miss's face, she immediately understood what Hong Zhong meant.

But she, before waiting for Hong Zhong's reaction, used all her strength and pushed Hong Zhong, pushing her a few meters away.

"Gentle!"

… ….

Baili Mingyue's sharp senses could hear Hong Zhong's screams from the crackling sounds.

The girl was inside?!

He had always wondered if the Cold Palace should not be on fire because there was no one here. But now, not only was the flames spreading at an astonishing speed, there was also a smell of burning oil in the air. This was definitely someone deliberately setting them on fire!

At this moment, when he heard Hong Zhong's shriek, he was even more certain that someone set fire to the flames. He did not even have time to think before he charged into the sea of flames. He couldn't have misheard. That voice just now belonged to that little girl!

The guards who were outside fighting the fire were all frightened out of their wits. Originally, he had answered that there was no one in the emperor's room and that they could slightly relax their efforts to extinguish the fire. However, now that the regent had charged in, if there was something good …

Sigh!

There was no point in sighing. It was best to quickly take out the barrel and start the fire!

The flaming beam that descended from the sky accurately smashed onto the elegant body. It made Qing Ya spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, followed by a few other small beams that fell from the sky, further widening the distance between Hong Zhong and Qing Ya.

Hong Zhong was pushed back by Qing Ya with all of her strength, and fell onto the ground a few meters away from her. Turning her head around, she saw Qing Ya pressed under the burning beam, her face bleeding profusely as she was unable to move.

"Gentle and elegant." Hong Zhong wanted to jump over and save her, but between the two of them, countless flames constantly fell, separating the two.

Seeing Hong Zhong's figure that was about to pounce, elegance weakly waved her hand at Hong Zhong. "Miss, you … Don't. Who cares... "Hurry up and leave!"

Hong Zhong shook her head, she did not care about what Qing Ya said, but rather skipped over the flames, and continued to get closer to her. Along the way, the flame ignited her skirt. She turned around, and without hesitation, tore off the hem of her skirt before continuing to approach Qingya.

The current Hong Zhong was extremely panicked in her heart!

This was the second time!

Last time, when she saw her sisters being burned to death in front of her, she was powerless. This time, however, the people who were trapped in the sea of flames were the same kind of sisters as her; she absolutely could not accept this.

She had always known that the young miss had treated her well, so she would rather die than put the young miss in a dangerous situation.

Hong Zhong barely avoided a few of the wooden pillars that fell to the ground before finally arriving at her elegant side. Not caring about the fire on the wooden beams, Hong Zhong used all her strength to push the wooden beams away and not letting go even when the burning hot charcoal scalded her palm.

Seeing that, Qing Ya was satisfied, she weakly shook her head at Hong Zhong: "Miss, let go of this burning beam, you won't be able to move it."

She was clear about her own situation!

If it was really just a beam that was pressed down on her, she was confident that she could survive. However, at this moment, she could clearly feel a sharp wooden stick piercing through her abdomen, and her blood was gradually flowing out.

"Miss, you must promise Qingya. If Qingya dies, I hope Miss can live on!" After she finished speaking, she drooped her head and slowly closed her bright eyes.

"Pure, ah —" An inner rage came out of Hong Zhong's mouth, and for some reason, Hong Zhong didn't know why, but she felt that his entire body was covered with a nameless fire, making him look as if she was sleeping soundly. Hong Zhong could only release that fire on the beam that was pressing down on her body, and that beam, because of Hong Zhong's action, flew out, sending the flames that were falling down flying.

Because his entire body was currently surrounded by flames, no one had noticed that after Hong Zhong had sent the beam flying, a faint red phoenix pattern had appeared on his forehead. But that pattern, had disappeared very quickly after a flash, leaving only the cold, angry and resolute glint in Hong Zhong's eyes.

After lifting the beams, Hong Zhong rushed forward and held the lifeless elegance in her arms!

Why, why was it like this!

The first time was fine, but the second time was also a repeat of the tragedy!

As for the Regent, who had rushed in search of Hong Zhong, because she heard Hong Zhong's angry roar, she quickly confirmed the location of the house Hong Zhong was in. She opened the burning door with his internal energy and immediately saw a fire burning within it with the elegant Hong Zhong in her arms.

Seeing that she was still alive, Baili Mingyue heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She flew up to Hong Zhong and used inner force to ignite the flames around him, then landed behind her back. Naturally, she saw the elegance in Hong Zhong's arms, where there was no longer any trace of life.

Her eyes that were as clear as a bright moon flashed as she reached out her hand and hugged her to her chest. "Girl, let's leave this place first." At this moment, the roof was on the verge of collapsing.

Hearing Baili Mingyue's clear and bright voice, Hong Zhong turned around and leaned into his embrace, and muttered: "Uncle, all of the older sisters are gone, and so is the elegance!"

"I know, I know." Baili Mingyue reached out and hugged Hong Zhong tightly in her embrace, silently consoling her, and the sound of burning wood entered her ears. Although Baili Mingyue did not want to disturb Hong Zhong, she could not leave right now!

A translucent stream of air rushed up from the two people's rooms like a ray of Aurora, rushing towards the burning roof, and then, Baili Mingyue hugged Hong Zhong, and flew out from the gap.

Everyone looked at Baili Mingyue who was flying down from the sky. Other than being shocked, there was also a trace of doubt and curiosity in their hearts. They were truly curious as to why the high and mighty Regent would ignore his own safety and go in to save the Red Third Miss.

Baili Yi Chen had also heard Hong Zhong's angry shout, and only now did he realize that the woman was still in the sea of flames. He immediately saw Uncle Wang's figure rushing towards him, but he was still a step too late.

When he saw Hong Zhong being brought out by Baili Mingyue, a hint of joy quickly flashed through his heart. Fortunately, she was alright, and when he thought about this, he turned to the guard at the side and said: "Quickly, ask for a doctor!"

A guard came back to his senses and quickly ran away.

After Baili Yi Chen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Hong Zhong with deep concern. He saw that her fair face was covered with dirt as she leaned tiredly on Baili Mingyue's chest, biting her lips.

Seeing Hong Zhong's forceful and forced expression, Baili Yi Chen's cold and arrogant heart throbbed slightly. Her clear eyes looked unwillingly at Hong Zhong's face. Ever since she had known Hong Zhong, Hong Zhong had given her an impression of being extremely arrogant. Of course, that stunning appearance not long ago had indeed surprised him, but it had all been beautiful.

At the moment, Hong Zhong's decadent, patient and patient look made his heart ache for no reason. And this pain made him feel pain that was hard to endure, and he was at a loss of what to do! Her gaze turned to Baili Mingyue, "Uncle Wang, I shall go."

In fact, he already knew that Baili Mingyue's cold poison had flared up a few days ago. Just now when he rushed into the fire, he used his inner force to save Hong Zhong. He believed that right now, Baili Mingyue's inner force was also in a mess.

Even if he were to take a step forward now, the pain would affect all the tendons in his entire body. And what he should do was to quickly adjust his breathing to prevent the cold poison from acting up again, and not continue walking while hugging Hong Zhong!
