Ye Sheng was puzzled: "Why?" Can't light a lamp? ”

Shen Ningning pressed her hand, her voice was glutinous, and her little face was serious.

"Look around, there are Buddhist books and Buddhist scriptures, and my brother told me that in order to make the tower insect and moisture-proof, a layer of paint will be brushed on the wood."

"This kind of oil will catch fire if you are not careful, so there should be no lights in the Illumination Tower all year round, and even when my brother was locked up in the Illumination Tower, there was no light."

Ye Shangyi also reacted when she heard her say this.

There are so many bookshelves in the Shōri Tower, and there is a layer of wax on the ground!

If the water starts a fire, it will not turn into a sea of fire in an instant.

The door was locked, and they couldn't escape.

Her face turned pale and she was panicked: "You mean, this oil lamp is placed here for us to light and then go to the water......"

"Concubine Rong wants to burn me alive?" Ye Shangyi finally realized the truth.

But she couldn't believe it.

She has always been diligent and loyal, and she has never disobeyed Concubine Rong.

It is even more harmonious to get along with the Nine Emperor Princes.

Concubine Rong wants her life!

Shen Ningning found that Ye Shangyi was trembling terribly, and her lips were black and cold.

She clenched Ye Xiangyi's hand: "Zhaori Tower is a place built by the emperor's uncle for his brother's illness and to pray for blessings to the heavens. ”

"There are so many symbolic meanings here, once it is burned, it must be regarded as a bad omen in the eyes of the world."

"But I didn't guess Concubine Rong's intentions......" the little guy scratched his face.

No matter how you think about it, Concubine Rong's plan is very terrifying.

Ye Shangyi immediately hid behind Shen Ningning.

"Then we won't light the lights, I'd rather freeze to death."

Shen Ningning blinked her eyes twice, she looked at the oil lamp, and then at the window not far away.

The little one suddenly had an idea.

"If Concubine Rong's people don't come, we will ask for help ourselves!"

She picked up the oil lamp, ran to the window, and lit it with a flint.

Ye Shangyi was taken aback: "Shen Ningning, be careful, don't burn us all to death!" ”

Shen Ningning ignored her.

The oil lamp in her hand lit up a soybean-sized fire, illuminating her milky white face.

The little one stood on tiptoe and placed the oil lamp on the window.

Ye Shangyi suddenly understood: "Do you want to use the lamp to tell others that there are people in the Illumination Tower?" ”

Shen Ningning nodded, her voice was glutinous, and her little round face looked calm and cute.

"The Praetorian Guard takes shifts every hour, and as long as they patrol the vicinity, they will surely see the light here."

With that, the little one put his hand to his mouth and shouted, "Someone! Is there anyone who's snoring? ”

Ye Sheng leaned against the wall, walked over step by step, and arrived at Shen Ningning's side.

The two shouted in unison.

After a while, Ye Sheng looked fixedly, and there were really a few figures walking over here!

It's just that the night is dark, mixed with flying snow particles, and it is impossible to see who it is.

The palace lantern carried by the other party also flew left and right, shaking badly.

"Someone's coming, finally someone's coming!" Ye Shangyi seemed to see hope and called even harder.

Shen Ningning held up the oil lamp, stretched out the window, and shook it back and forth.

This light of fire finally brought the future to them.

When Shen Ningning saw the other party's face clearly, his voice stopped abruptly, and he swallowed the words of asking for help.

Ye Shangyi looked at it fixedly, and almost cried with joy.

"It's Lord Xie, your second brother Xie Ming'an!"

She excitedly tugged on Shen Ningning's sleeve: "We are saved." ”

Xie Ming'an's eyes were reflected by a little candle flame, but they were bottomless.

He glanced at the tightly locked door next to him.

"What are you doing here?" Xie Ming'an's voice was extremely cold.

Shen Ningning didn't speak, and Ye Shangyi said in a hurry and panic: "We were imprisoned by Concubine Rong, but Niangniang forgot to let us out." ”

"Master Xie, can you please go to the inner palace to bring a message, and let Niangniang send someone to release us."

Xie Ming'an's gaze turned to Shen Ningning.

The little guy bit his lower lip, and his round cheeks were probably because of the cold, and they had long lost their pink color, and they looked very white.

Her long black eyelashes trembled, and she didn't look up at him, let alone ask him for help.

Xie Ming'an lightly put down a sentence: "Ask for more blessings." ”

Then he turned and walked away.

Ye Sheng was stunned in place, looking at his back.

"Shen Ningning, what did he mean, didn't he plan to help us pass the word?"

"Shen Ningning, why didn't you speak just now, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Shang chattered a few words, and finally realized that the little guy's mood was wrong.

It seemed that the moment he saw Xie Ming'an appear, the hope in Shen Ningning's eyes was extinguished.

The little guy crouched down and hugged his knees: "Let's wait for someone else." ”

Ye Shangyi felt strange.

The relationship between Shen Ningning and Xie Mingxu, the eldest son of the Xie family, is so good, and it is the turn of this second brother Xie Ming'an, just like a stranger.

But she also guessed one or two, most likely because they didn't get along.

Ye Shangyi refused to give up, continued to hold the oil lamp, and shouted for help.

However, the oil lamp was quickly extinguished by the snow particles, turning into a wet mass of lamp wires that could no longer burn.

Ye Shangyi was also exhausted, her whole body was sore, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.

She leaned on Shen Ningning's little shoulder, and the two of them were wrapped in Mengshu cloth together, shivering.

"Shen Ningning, I'm so hungry...... If there is a bowl of sweet potatoes in front of me at this time, I will eat it without hesitation. ”

Ye Shangyi was cold and hungry, so she almost cried.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ningning's small hand held a piece of dried sweet potato in front of her.

"Do you eat?"

Ye Shangyi's eyes widened, thinking that she had seen it wrong.

"You actually carry dried sweet potatoes with you?"

Shen Ningning's smile was sweet, and the pear vortex was shallow: "Take it with you, and use it as a tooth sacrifice at any time." ”

As she spoke, she opened the small bag on her waist and handed it to Ye Shangyi.

When I opened it, there were more than a dozen sun-dried sweet potato chips inside!

Ye Shangyi devoured it, and didn't forget to hand it to Shen Ningning: "You eat it too." ”

The little guy pushed her hand away: "I'm not hungry, you eat the horn." ”

After all, she can eat a full meal in Wonderland at any time.

And the food in the fairyland couldn't be brought to Ye Shangyi, so he could only grieve Ye Shangyi and eat all the sweet potatoes.

After eating, Ye Shangyi finally felt a little warm.

But she was very dizzy, and in the end, leaning on Shen Ningning's little shoulder, she was drowsy.

"Shen Ningning, you say, will we die here?"

"No, we have a big life, and Jiren has his own nature."

"But I feel like I'm freezing to death." Ye Shangyi's lips were white, listening to the movement of snow particles outside hitting the eaves.

She snorted weakly twice, her voice bitter.

"I didn't expect that before I died, it was you who was by my side, I knew that I would become friends with you, and it would be good not to bully you at the beginning."

"Did you bully me?" Shen Ningning blinked his eyes wide.

Ye Shangyi is unforgiving, but when it comes to bullying, she has never done anything to hurt Shen Ningning.

Listening to Shen Ningning's words, Ye Shangyi closed her eyes and said while laughing: "No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be friends with you......

Her voice grew weaker, and then she passed out completely.

Shen Ningning touched her forehead, it was extremely hot.
