Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Ye Changyi was puzzled: "Why? Can't even light a lamp?"

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

“Look around, there are Buddhist scriptures. My brother told me that in order to protect the Zhaori Pagoda from insects and moisture, a layer of paint would be painted on the wood.”

"This kind of oil can cause fire if you are not careful, so there should be no lights in the Sun Tower all year round. Even when my brother was locked up in the Sun Tower, there were no lights."

Ye Changyi also reacted after hearing what she said.

 So many bookshelves are placed densely together in the Zhaori Tower, and there is even a layer of wax on the floor!

 If water breaks out and a fire breaks out, it will turn into a sea of ​​​​fire in an instant.

And the door has been locked, and they can't escape at all.

She looked pale and panicked: "You mean, this oil lamp is placed here for us to light it and then let it go..."

“Concubine Rong wants to burn me alive?” Ye Changyi finally realized the truth.

 But she couldn't believe it.

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

 Getting along with the Ninth Prince is even more harmonious.

 Why did Concubine Rong want her life?

Shen Ningning noticed that Ye Changyi was shaking violently, and her lips, which were black from the cold, were also trembling.

She held Ye Changyi's hand tightly: "Zhaori Tower is a place built by the emperor's uncle for his brother's illness and to pray to God for blessings."

“There are too many symbolic meanings here. Once it is burned down, it will definitely be regarded as an ominous omen in the eyes of the world.”

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

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

 Ye Changyi immediately hid behind Shen Ningning.

“Then we won’t light the lamp, I’d rather freeze to death.”

Shen Ningning blinked twice. She looked at the oil lamp and then at the window not far away.

 The little guy suddenly had an idea.

“If Concubine Rong’s people don’t come, we’ll ask for help ourselves!”

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

Ye Changyi was startled: "Shen Ningning, be careful, don't burn us all to death!"

 Shen Ningning ignored her.

 The oil lamp in her hand lit up a flame the size of a soybean, illuminating her milky white face.

 The little guy stood on tiptoes and placed the oil lamp on the window.

Ye Changyi suddenly understood: "Do you want to use the lamp to tell others that there is someone in the Sun Tower?"

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

“The Imperial Guards take a shift every hour. As long as they patrol nearby, they will definitely see the light here.”

After saying that, the little guy put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "Someone is coming! Is there anyone?"

Ye Changyi held on to the wall and walked over step by step, reaching Shen Ningning's side.

 They both shouted in unison.

After a while, Ye Changyi took a closer look and saw that there were actually several figures walking towards this side!

However, the night was dark and mixed with flying snow particles, so it was impossible to see who it was.

The palace lantern held by the other party was also flying left and right, shaking violently.

 “Someone is coming, someone is finally here!” Ye Changyi seemed to see hope and called even harder.

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

This little bit of fire finally brought the people in front of them.

When Shen Ningning saw the other person's face clearly, her voice stopped abruptly, and she swallowed her words for help.

Ye Changyi took a closer look and almost cried with joy.

“It’s Mr. Xie, your second brother Xie Ming’an!”

 She pulled Shen Ningning's sleeve excitedly: "We are saved."

Xie Mingan's eyes were illuminated by a candle, but they were bottomless.

 He glanced at the tightly locked door next to him.

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

Shen Ningning remained silent, while Ye Changyi said in a panic: "We were imprisoned by Concubine Rong, but she forgot to let us out." "Mr. Xie, can you please go to the inner palace to bring a message to the concubine? People set us free.”

 Xie Mingan's eyes turned to Shen Ningning.

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

Her long black eyelashes were trembling, and she did not raise her head to look at him, let alone ask him for help.

Xie Mingan said calmly: "Ask for more blessings."

 Then he turned and left.

 Ye Changyi froze on the spot, looking at his back.

"Shen Ningning, what does he mean? Are you not going to help us pass the message?"

“Shen Ningning, why didn’t you speak just now? What’s wrong with you?”

 Ye Changyi chattered for several times, and finally realized that the little guy's mood was not right.

It seemed as if the hope in Shen Ningning's eyes disappeared the moment she saw Xie Mingan appear.

 The little guy squatted down and hugged his knees: "Let's wait for others."

 Ye Changyi felt strange.

Shen Ningning has such a good relationship with Xie Mingxu, the eldest son of the Xie family. When it comes to the second brother Xie Ming'an, he is like a stranger.

 But she also guessed that they probably couldn't get along.

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

However, the oil lamp was quickly extinguished by snow particles and turned into a ball of wet lanterns, which could no longer be ignited.

Ye Changyi was also exhausted, her whole body ached, and she was sometimes cold or hot.

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

"Shen Ningning, I'm so hungry... If a bowl of sweet potatoes was placed in front of me at this time, I would eat it without hesitation."

Ye Changyi was so cold and hungry that she almost burst into tears.

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

 “Do you want to eat?”

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

 “You actually carry dried sweet potatoes with you?”

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly and said lightly: "Take it with you and use it as a toothpaste at any time."

 As she said this, she opened the small bag on her waist and handed it to Ye Changyi.

 When I opened it, there were actually more than a dozen dried sweet potato slices inside!

Ye Changyi devoured it and handed one to Shen Ningning: "You can eat it too."

 The little guy pushed her hand away: "I'm not hungry, so you can eat everything."

 After all, she can have a feast in Wonderland at any time.

However, there was no way to bring the food in the fairyland to Ye Changyi, so she could only wrong Ye Changyi and eat all the dried sweet potatoes.

 After eating, Ye Changyi finally felt a little warm.

 But her head was very dizzy, and finally, leaning on Shen Ningning's little shoulder, she fell asleep.

“Shen Ningning, do you think we will die here?”

“No way, we have a great destiny, and good people have their own destiny.”

"But, I feel like I'm freezing to death." Ye Changyi's lips were white as she listened to the sound of snow particles hitting the eaves outside.

　　She hummed weakly and laughed twice, her voice bitter.

“I didn’t expect that you would be the one who stayed with me before I died. If I had known that I would become friends with you, I wish I hadn’t bullied you.”

 “Did you bully me?” Shen Ningning blinked her eyes.

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

Listening to Shen Ningning’s words, Ye Changyi closed her eyes, smiled and said, "No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince can be friends with you..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker, and then she fainted completely.

 Shen Ningning touched her forehead and it was extremely hot.
