CHAPTER 1994: CHAPTER 1996

"You have to take us with you!"

As soon as Ye San spoke, Madam Tong (Secondary Princess Consort) suddenly appeared from somewhere, clutching Yang Chuxia’s sleeve fiercely, "You must take my son and me with you!"

Yang Chuxia looked down and saw Baili Yan’s illegitimate son trembling in Madam Tong’s arms.

"If you don’t take us with you, I will scream and then nobody will be able to leave."

"Shut up, it’s not the time to make trouble."

Madam Tong ignored the scolding from Princess Consort Zhuang, "Your son isn’t here, of course, you’re not worried. I’m telling you, get out of my way, if anything happens to my son today, I’ll make you all be buried with him."

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about Princess Consort Zhuang or anyone else.

"Where are your guards?" Ignoring the quarrel between the wives and concubines, Yang Chuxia questioned Madam Tong.

"I didn’t bring any guards, only two nannies."

Yang Chuxia nodded, "Rest assured, I may not save you, but I will definitely save your son."

"Young Master Li, the prince hasn’t come out yet, throw the torches!"

Right then, a new round of shouting came from outside the door.

"That’s right, throw the torches, it’s already past 10 p.m., the prince hasn’t come out yet, something must have happened, throw the torches!"

"Burn them all, avenge the prince!"

Outside, Young Master Li’s mood was unpredictable, and who knows what he was thinking, but in just a moment, his voice echoed, "Set the fire! Burn everything!"

Hearing this, Yang Chuxia exchanged a glance with Ye San and then rushed towards the northwest corner.

As the silver threads flew by, how many could hide?

Ye San also avoided the arrows that were shot and took down two people who were ambushed on the roof.

However, when Yang Chuxia replaced the original archer hidden in the trees, her heart was filled with terror.

Because around Prince Le’s Mansion, whether it was the courtyard they stayed in or the back, it was piled with branches, and now it was a raging fire, creating a wall of fire. Moreover, the surroundings of the neighboring courtyard were also filled with branches.

If no one came to save them, they would most likely be burned to death here today.

The people outside were preparing to throw torches inside, outside was a wall of fire. If they wanted to escape, they would have to cross over the wall of fire, but this wide wall of fire was not something ordinary people could pass through.

Even if she and Ye San could get through, there was no way for so many people inside.

Just as she was pondering, the torches from outside were already thrown inside. It seems they were thrown so skillfully that one landed directly on the head of a minister’s family member, and instantly the whole person was set ablaze, screaming pitiably, which was unbearable to hear.

Torch after torch was thrown inside.

With no time to care about anything else, Yang Chuxia jumped down from the original tree, snatched the child from Madam Tong’s hands, and moved towards the wall, with Ye San covering her.

Estimating the distance to jump over the wall of fire, the wall was too wide, causing her skirt to catch fire, and she had to roll on the ground to extinguish the flames on her clothes.

Inside, there were already various screams.

"Mom, mom... wuuu..." The child cried in fear.

"If you don’t want to die, shut up and don’t cry!"

Yang Chuxia was contemplating whether to go back inside; there were still many people in there.

Ye San also came out from inside, still holding two children in his arms, "Madam, this one is the grandson of the Tong Family, and the other is the child from Princess Consort Zhuang’s family."

"Princess Consort Zhuang asked us to go and report first."

Yang Chuxia only hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let’s go!"
