"It's on fire!"

In the middle of the night, I don't know who broke the silence in the palace with a sudden shout, and then the sound of crackling echoed throughout the palace.

A jumble of footsteps and shouts followed.

Sima Banru and Duan'er sat up at the same time and listened attentively.

The sounds outside were getting closer, and it seemed that the fire was spreading rapidly. The light of the fire poured in through the cracks in the doors and windows, illuminating the house.

There were footsteps running to the door.

"Your Majesty has an order, everyone should go out to put out the fire, in case those hoarded materials are destroyed." An anxious woman's voice said.

"Her Royal Highness Princess, what should I do here?" The voice of a samurai guarding the door rang out.

"The doors and windows have been sealed, and it is difficult for the two of them to escape, you wait and go, don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry." The woman said.

The footsteps of the samurai were far away.

Sima Banru jumped out of bed and came to the door hunched.

He heard a strange sound, the kind of tooth-chilling sound that only metal rubbed in.

Sima Banru beckoned to Duan'er.

Duan'er understood, and immediately got dressed and jumped down.

It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open, and Wei Qing'er, who was nervous, flashed in with the short sword that had been broken in two.

"Your Royal Highness the prince and princess, the slave and maid are here." Wei Qing'er threw away the short sword and grabbed Duan'er's hand.

"Sister Qing'er, ...... are you" Duan'er didn't seem to react yet.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, don't make a sound, leave this place with the slave and maid." Wei Qing'er couldn't help but say, and pulled Duan'er and walked outside.

Sima Banru also forgot about the pain in his arm, and ran out of the house with a deep foot and a shallow foot behind the two.

The fire in the distance continued, and the swaying figures were like ghosts in the middle of the night, shouting one after another.

"Outside the palace gate are full of people personally arranged by my royal brother, how can I escape?" Duan'er stopped and looked at Wei Qing'er.

"Her Royal Highness the princess did not know that the guard outside the palace gate tonight was a subordinate of the slave's father, and he was deeply dissatisfied with the death of his father, and he had been deeply thinking of his father's kindness to him, and was waiting for an opportunity to repay him. The slave has told me the truth, and he is willing to take the risk of letting me and others out of the palace. Wei Qing'er said.

"I see, there is Sister Lao, it seems that Zhuge Wuhou really wronged General Wei Yan at the beginning." Duan'er said, pulled Sima Banru, and motioned for him to follow Wei Qing'er away.

Wei Qing'er didn't say anything.

The three of them tried to walk along the place where there was no fire and no lights.

Wei Qing'er has been in the palace for many years, and she is naturally very familiar with the terrain here, so she took the two of them around a few corners, and soon approached a side gate of the palace.

"Your Royal Highness the prince and princess, wait here for a while, and wait for the slave maid to open the palace gate." Wei Qing'er said and walked forward quietly.

Duan'er and Sima Banru squatted in a dark shadow.

"Don't panic, if you are blocked, you just have to leave by yourself, and the concubine has her own way to deal with it." Duan'er said to Sima Banru, but she kept wiping the sweat on her face, showing that she was also very nervous at this time.

Sima Banru felt that Wei Qing'er had been gone for too long.

I finally saw the palace door slowly being pushed open.

Wei Qing'er beckoned to the two.

The warrior's face was wrapped in light gauze, he was holding a heavy steel knife in his hand, and a long sword was hanging from his side.

"This place is not a place to stay for a long time, thank you General Dong for your help, and the great kindness will be reported later."

"Miss Qing'er is polite, quickly take Her Royal Highness the princess and the prince out of the west gate, the defenders there have already greeted each other, you just have to say that it is my Dong Qi family's family members." The samurai admonished.

Duan'er smiled at the samurai and nodded.

The warrior who claimed to be Dong Qi had probably already made arrangements, and in the dark, a carriage was waiting here, and a fiery red war horse was also tied to the side of the cart.

"The prince and princess quickly get on the car, and the slave and maid ride horses to protect the two of you out of the city." Wei Qing'er said, already flying on the horse and taking the long sword handed over by Dong Qi.

Sima Banru had an injury on his arm, and he was not very flexible in the first place, and he was even more nervous and scared, so he moved his body for a long time before climbing into the car.

The carriage took advantage of the darkness of the night and rushed towards the city gate.

Watching the carriage go away, Dong Qi wiped the sweat on his face.

At this moment, several other samurai who were hiding around came out of the shadows.

"You wait and stay here while I go and report to Your Majesty." Dong Qi said.

At the entrance of Jing'an Palace:

Liu Yong stood in the darkness with his hands behind his back, looking at the firelight not far away, and the figures running back and forth, the expression on his face was very mixed.

I have to say that this is another risky move.

Although on the surface he has occupied the initiative on the battlefield, the next game still does not tolerate the slightest carelessness, and whether Duan'er, a chess piece, can continue to play its due role, Liu Yong's heart is still uncertain.

It must be that Sima Yan is different from Sima Banru, and if he is negligent, there is a danger of losing everything.

"Your Majesty has been here for too long, and the queen wants the slave to call Your Majesty back." Behind him, there was the voice of Shame Moon.

"Qi'er hasn't slept yet?" Liu Yong turned around and asked.

"If Your Majesty doesn't return, how can the queen mother rest assured? caused the slave and maid to stay up for most of the night. If the slave doesn't have time to get up early tomorrow to serve the mother Chitose, Your Majesty will have to say more kind words. Shame Moon rubbed her slightly sleepy eyes, and didn't forget to tease.

"You just go and rest, and I'll go back." Liu Yong said.

"Don't you dare, Your Majesty won't return, what should the queen do if she wants the slave to bite her toes?" Tsuki said.

Liu Yong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You girl, so naughty, how will you marry someone in the future?" I don't know when Queen Zhang came to the side of the two and interjected.

"Slaves and maids are not uncommon to marry, and they only serve His Majesty and Niangniang Chitose in this life."

Liu Yong shook his head.

According to the rules of the Shu Han Palace at that time, as long as the palace maid reached the age of twenty, she could choose to leave and get a bounty. Of course, this depends on the palace maid's own thoughts, and also depends on whether her master is willing to let her go. Some palace maids think they have seen through the heat and coldness of the world and are reluctant to leave, and some palace maids want to leave, but they are forcibly left behind by their masters.

Xi Yue said this, I don't know if it's true or not, but it made Queen Zhang think of Duan'er again for a while, and she remembered that Duan'er had also said such things at the beginning.

According to the time calculation, Duan'er and the others should have gone out of the city gate at this time.

"If Sima Banru was worried about being blamed by Sima Yan and refused to go to his camp, but chose to go back to Luoyang directly, would Your Majesty have any way to deal with it?" Empress Zhang asked worriedly.

This is also Liu Yong's most entangled problem.

"Everything depends on how Duan'er acts, what does Sima Banru think? However, I have already instructed Qing'er not to bring a little silver tael with her, which may force Sima Banru to have to find Sima Yan, and ......" Liu Yong hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to tell all his arrangements.

"I hope so, I hope Duan'er and Sister Qing'er are safe and sound." Empress Zhang didn't ask, and sighed.

The firelight has disappeared, and this scene for Sima Banru has come to an end for the time being, and another good scene is about to be staged in Sima Yan's camp.
