Was there anyone to help her?
Murong Xue looked around, and saw two black figures over ten meters away. But they were falling at a higher speed, and were totally impossible to save her.
The ground gradually became nearer. Murong Xue could see the emperor, the empress as well as the civil and military ministers walking out of the stone wall slowly. They looked up and saw her falling.
Would she be smashed to pieces?
Since she had died once, Murong Xue wasn’t afraid. But she felt aggrieved to die like this!
Murong Xue frowned heavily. All of a sudden, she caught the sight of a handsome young man whose dark purple robe was fluttering in the wind as he darted towards her. It was Prince Jing, Ye Yichen!
He was approaching her at the highest speed!
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows. Would Ye Yichen come to save her? She would rather die than owing him a favor!
Murong Xue’s eyes were filled with coldness as she stretched her legs violently. Her falling speed increased sharply, with wind howling beside her ears. Her cheeks were stinging from the hot wind rubbing against her.
Watching her falling down more and more rapidly, Ye Yichen frowned and caught up with her, trying his best to seize her by the shoulder. Otherwise, Murong Xue would be smashed to pieces instantly.
As soon as his fingertips touched her clothes, a white figure suddenly appeared and held her fast into his arms.
Ouyang Shaochen’s clothes sent forth the slight fragrance of bamboo. Murong Xue, whose eyes were sparkling with surprise, raised her head and saw that breathtakingly handsome face. “Are you all right, Ouyang?”
Being far from Ouyang Shaochen during the explosion, she had no idea whether he was hurt.
“I’m fine!” Ouyang Shaochen answered softly. With his strong arms holding her slim waist, Ouyang Shaochen stepped on the scattering planks lightly in the air and landed on the ground safely!
On their heels, Ye Yichen was glaring at Murong Xue in Ouyang Shaochen’s arms. A meaningful look appeared on his face. It was him who approached Murong Xue first, but she was eventually saved by Ouyang Shaochen. Damn!
“Flop. Flop…” Murong Xue raised her head and saw Yuan Fangfei, Ye Tianqi, the leader of the imperial guards and the three invisible guards landing safely one after another.
Their clothes and hair were filled with burnt marks, and their faces were dotted with blots due to the heavy smoke.
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and walked to Yuan Fangfei slowly. “Were you injured?”
“Just some cuts and bruises. I just need some ointments to help them recover.” It was no big deal for Yuan Fangfei.
“I’m glad you are okay!” Murong Xue nodded. She then looked around for Cang Qiong. “Didn’t Cang Qiong follow us down?” She asked softly.
Yuan Fangfei snorted in contempt. “He did hope to survive. It was a pity he was so close to the dynamite.” He was doomed to die for the iniquity he had committed!
Murong Xue looked up, and saw that the clear sky had been dotted by cascading black ashes.
Cang Qiong went to the hell with his snakes. Given the number of his pawns and machinery, he would surely not be lonely!
