"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Ying Yi picked up the young Emperor and hurried towards the secret chamber of the old Imperial Physician.

"Quick, quick, His Majesty has fainted! Imperial Physician!"

The old Imperial Physician hurriedly helped the Emperor onto the bed, and after taking his pulse, he said with a tense expression.

"His Majesty has fainted due to a great shock. A good rest for half a day should revive him, but he must not be shocked again."

Frightened?

Ying Yi suddenly remembered something important, and fiercely slapped his own face.

"It's all my fault, I have harmed Your Majesty."

While Ying Yi was blaming himself, the old Imperial Physician suddenly smelled a burning odor.

Ying Yi forced himself to calm down and told the old Imperial Physician that there was a fire outside, asking him to take good care of His Majesty, then he went back above ground.

As the fire grew more and more intense, the guards of the Imperial Camp outside the Imperial Study Room were thrown into chaos, rushing to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Ying Qi and ten Shadow Guards were extremely anxious inside the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, hurry, we will cover you, rush out now!" one of the Shadow Guards said, pulling on Ying Qi's hand with a frantic look.

They were not wrong; their primary duty in the face of danger was to ensure His Majesty's safety.

But Ying Qi refused; she knew well that she wore the Dragon Robe for the Emperor, and now, His Majesty was still in the secret chamber, trapped in the Imperial Study Room like her.

His Majesty and all her sisters faced danger; she could not abandon His Majesty.

Ying Qi looked at Ying Yi's anxious and frantic eyes, gently pushed away her sister's hand, and commanded in the Emperor's voice.

"I absolutely cannot go out now. The rebels intentionally set the fire; if I go out now, I will surely fall into their trap."

"Moreover, it's very likely that rebels will try to take advantage of the situation and infiltrate the Imperial Study Room. I order you all, except for Ying Yi, to rush out and prevent anyone from entering."

Ying Qi almost spoke through tears; the situation was critical, and likely disastrous; as she spoke, a beam at the doorway of the Imperial Study Room was burnt through.

Crack—

The beam, engulfed in roaring flames, fell and blocked the way out.

"We're running out of time, hurry, rush out and block the rebels at the door of the Imperial Study Room," Ying Qi nearly roared.

"Your Majesty, what about you? We cannot just abandon you!" another Shadow Guard expressed anxiously.

Ying Qi directly pulled out a sword from Ying Yi's side, pointed it at the Shadow Guard who had just spoken, and hissed.

"Do you dare to defy a Holy Decree? I now need you to go out and block the rebels at the door, allowing more guards from Imperial Camp, Left and Right Martial Guard to fight the fire."

"I can only hope to survive if you do."

"I need you!"

The fire became fiercer; if they did not escape soon, it would be too late.

Ying Yi did not want these ten sisters to stay and face the danger; leaving them the chance to escape was not wasting their sisterhood.

When she turned her head to look at Ying Yi, Ying Yi also nodded with tears in their eyes.

Ying Qi was right; if the eunuch brought people to break into the Imperial Study Room at this moment, she definitely would not be their match.

"This servant obeys the decree!" The ten Shadow Guards, with tears, knelt down to Ying Qi, and then rushed out of the Imperial Study Room.

Now only Ying Yi and Ying Qi were left in the Imperial Study Room. In a panic, Ying Qi grabbed Ying Yi's hand, anxiously asking.

"How is His Majesty, is His Majesty well?"

As the fire grew bigger and the smoke slowly filled the room, Ying Qi coughed violently.

"Your Majesty has fainted, and the Imperial Physician is taking care of him; we must not act rashly in case the walls have ears," Ying Yi gently pressed on Ying Qi's shoulders, gesturing for her to sit properly.

They had already prepared themselves to die in a sea of flames.

"If only Mr. Lin were here," Ying Qi couldn't help but sigh.

It was this very statement that seemed to give Ying Yi a glimpse of hope; she immediately sent a call over the walkie-talkie to Lin Yi.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. There was only a busy signal on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Could it be that Mr. Lin encountered some mishap that allowed the old eunuch to succeed? Are we really going to perish in the flames?"

Time passed by second by second, and thick smoke poured in, followed by waves of heat that almost suffocated them.

Just then, Luoluo rushed toward Ying Yi and Ying Qi, carrying two water-soaked curtain cloths in its mouth.

It handed the wet curtain cloths to Ying Yi and Ying Qi, then tugged on Ying Qi's Dragon Robe, pulling her toward a corner near a window in the Imperial Study Room.

This spot was excellent, away from the fire and well-ventilated.

Ying Yi and Ying Qi covered their mouths with the wet curtains, watching as the fire on the beams grew larger, with no way out and powerless to do anything, they could only pray for a miracle.

"Ying Yi, hurry, you go down and take care of Your Majesty, I'll be here. It's better for one of us to die at the hands of the old eunuch than for both of us."

Ying Qi almost begged, as the fire grew larger and, with time advancing, their chances of survival diminished.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi had just emerged from the ground and saw the panicked Palace Maids and eunuchs, carrying buckets and scurrying around like headless flies. Not far away, thick smoke billowed above the small Emperor's Imperial Study Room.

"This, damn it!"

"Damn! They really dared to set a fire. Old eunuch, you're done for!"

Seeing the thick smoke, Lin Yi didn't hesitate and immediately placed an order on the Nine-Eyed Mall.

[Ding-ding-ding, host successfully purchased 10 tons of dry ice and 20 Dry Ice Launchers, paid 1 billion Heavenly Bead Coins, the goods have now been positioned beside the host.]

To extinguish the fire manually was clearly impossible with the old eunuch's interference, so he had to take matters into his own hands.

"Come here, all of you, put these things in the cannon cart orderly."

Not knowing the current situation of the small Emperor, Lin Yi took out his walkie-talkie intending to ask but realized that he had accidentally lost it.

So he bought a fourth walkie-talkie from the Nine-Eyed Mall, and immediately called his beloved little Emperor wife.

Fortunately, at that time, Ying Yi was beside the small Emperor, guarding him. Hearing activity from the walkie-talkie, her hands trembled with excitement.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, is that you?" Ying Yi held her breath, hoping to hear Lin Yi's voice.

On the other side of the walkie-talkie, Lin Yi asked anxiously.

"Ying Yi, why are you with the walkie-talkie, where is my darling wife?"

Hearing Lin Yi's voice, Ying Yi burst into tears.

"Mr. Lin, is that really you? Your Majesty has fainted; please come and save us. We are trapped in the basement."

Hearing this, Lin Yi was furious, his fingers pressing hard on the walkie-talkie, every cell in his body filled with anger.

"Stay in the basement, I am arranging some oxygen generators for you. Don't worry, the fire will be extinguished very soon."

"Mr. Lin—"

Ying Yi wanted to ask more, but Lin Yi had already hung up.

Time was critical, and Lin Yi could not afford to waste a single second.

[Ding-ding-ding, host successfully purchased five oxygen generators, paid 39 million Heavenly Bead Coins, the goods have been dispatched to the Imperial Study Room basement.]
