This queen is not too curly

Chapter 23
This situation is really unlucky, and there is really no other choice.

Yan Yuan could only calm down, rushed forward two steps, and hugged Chen Lingchen.

"Your Majesty, help!"

Yan Yuan tried her best to squeeze out a little cry from the bottom of her throat, and buried her head in Chen Lingchen's chest without giving Chen Lingchen a chance to react.

She hugged him like an octopus: "Your Majesty, save this concubine... This concubine doesn't want to die..."

Chen Ling was startled, before he had time to push and push.

Yan Yuan had already buried her forehead in his shoulder, and her fingers wrapped around his waist, and there was a smooth and cold feeling on her fingertips for a moment, which made her stunned uncontrollably.

He's really... very thin.

Yan Yuan sighed in her heart.

Such a thin person should not have much strength, and she probably needs to pretend to be pushed away by him to look more natural and real.

Yan Yuan was still planning in her heart, but the screams in the cabin became more and more chaotic.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's on fire, it's on fire!"

The sharp voice of the old eunuch penetrated the silent night.

Yan Yuan followed the prestige, and the next moment her back was drenched in cold sweat: the toppling of the charcoal stove would not pose a threat to the big ship, but the slurry in the stove was poured on the wooden ship deck, and the ship deck was covered. Burned a huge hole.A raging fire burst into the cabin under the hole.

Oops, kerosene!
How could she forget such things!

Yan Yuan really panicked, the burning power of the fire oil was like an ordinary log on fire, it only took a moment to swallow up the boat, and she couldn't run away even if she wanted to.

"Quick! Come to shore!"

"All go under the cabin to help sail the boat!"

"The rest of the people quickly go outside and get water to put out the fire!"

In the cabin, screams were mixed with roars, and everyone was in a mess, only Chen Lingchen and Yan Yuan were left standing stiffly in place.

That's too late.

Yan Yuan let go of Chen Lingchen.

She looked at the fire around her, and her heart was cold.

The fire ignited by kerosene cannot be extinguished by ordinary water. The ship has already sailed to the middle of the lake, and it is too late to return.For now, only...

"Everyone go to the deck."

Chen Ling's deep voice rang out amidst the commotion:
"Go into the water, immediately."

As soon as the emperor gave an order, the people in the cabin immediately moved into action. They surrounded Chen Ling and walked to the deck.Yan Yuan was originally following behind Chen Lingchen. When she came to the cabin door, she hesitated and turned her head to look at the men lying in the cabin.

"What should they do?" Yan Yuan asked the eunuch.

"Oh, my lady, it's already this time, so don't worry about these prisoners!"

The old eunuch pushed and shoved, ignoring Yan Yuan in the chaos, and concentrated on protecting Chen Ling to get out of the small cabin door.

Yan Yuan stayed in the cabin alone.She looked at the few people on the ground and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and turned back, grabbed the collar of the nearest one, dragged him to the window of the cabin, and pushed him out of the window.

The result of doing so is likely to be the same, and it is a dead end.

But at least, there is still a whole body.

She followed suit like this, throwing those people out of the window one by one, and finally stopped in front of the culprit who overturned the charcoal stove.

He wasn't dead yet, he was almost there, with burns and blood all over his face and body, but he still looked at Yan Yuan with his red eyes open.

"It would be nice to have a whole body."

Yan Yuan said to him.

She didn't give him room to discuss, grabbed his relatively intact collar, and threw him out of the dark window.

At this moment, the beams of the cabin suddenly broke, and the fire increased several times in an instant, and the only way to the deck of the ship was completely blocked.

On the deck, the old eunuch was yelling loudly: "Oops, the empress, the empress is still inside! Someone, hurry up and rescue the empress—!"

He screamed in such a panic, as if the parting at the cabin door just now was an illusion.

Yan Yuan was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she had to sigh in her heart, in terms of acting skills, she must be a palace official.

The old eunuch was still crying on the deck: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should I do, the empress..."

At that time, Yan Yuan was about to jump out of the window, but she didn't know why she suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.

It was a little bit of curiosity, like a kitten's paw, scratching a shallow mark on her chest, urging her to stop, and slowly approaching the cabin door that could no longer be opened step by step.

The roar of flames.

She heard commotion outside.

I don't know how long it took before Chen Ling's deep voice sounded: "I know."

The voice was low and soft, like a calm pond.

"What a pity," he said.

……

That was the last voice Yan Yuan heard.

The next moment the flames expanded again.

Yan Yuan had no choice but to retreat to the window of the cabin, and jumped down from the window.

The moment she fell into the water, the biting cold poured into her body like a snake.

Yan Yuan suspected that she would faint, but in the end she didn't, the cold lake soaked through her clothes, and the overwhelming pain exploded between every inch of her bones.

……it hurts.

……It hurts.

Yan Yuan floated up and down in the darkness.

The palace people on the shore held up the palace lanterns, searched along the lakeside and shouted: "My lady—the empress—"

...cannot die.

... At least not yet.

Yan Yuan struggled in the water and tore off the heavy fur jacket on her body, and her whole body became much lighter and healthier immediately.

She is not bad at water, she only needs to endure the initial pain, and then she can slowly approach the palace lantern on the shore... Her body has lost consciousness, and I don't know how long it took before her fingertips finally clung to the shore A strand of grass on the side.

"... Your Majesty? Is it the Empress Empress?"

In the darkness, a trembling voice sounded.

A palace lantern approached slowly, illuminating Yan Yuan's face.

"Come here... come here!" The voice screamed, "Quick, the Empress is here—!"

...is it here?

Yan Yuan only felt that the light of the palace lantern made her unable to open her eyes, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers.

She tried to prop up her body, but failed in the end.

There was a lot of noise around, and soon more people gathered by the lake.

Yan Yuan opened her eyes vainly, and saw a thin figure walking slowly from a distance amidst the chaos.The man walked leisurely, and slowly stopped in front of her, looking down at her.

It's still that look.

The eyes of dead things.

Yan Yuan's consciousness has begun to blur, she is in a trance, and the face in front of her eyes overlaps with the one in her memory.

Suddenly, a nameless fire of karma rushed to her chest.

"You..." She opened her mouth and let out a little breath, "What a..."

In the next moment, her consciousness was completely slackened, and she fell into the dark night of the soul together with unfinished words.

What an ungrateful, ignorant thing!
