Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

Suddenly, Su Qianqian felt something strange. She raised her head and was shocked by what she saw. ☆

The originally quiet outside was now brightly lit, with bright light shining through the window paper.

Mottled on her face,

It brought an inexplicable sense of urgency. The smell of paste in the air was pungent and heavy, and seemed to hint at something ominous.

Her heart tightened, and she walked quickly to the window, pushing it open with trembling hands.

Suddenly,

A heat wave mixed with thick smoke rushed towards her, and in the light of the fire, she saw that she was surrounded by raging flames.

And in this sea of ​​fire, a figure hurriedly passed through her sight.

It was the figure of a young eunuch. Although Su Qianqian could not see his face clearly,

But the outline of the face was vaguely visible in the firelight.

What caught her attention even more was that there was a circular mark on the side of the eunuch's neck. Although she only saw it at a glance,

But it was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Su Qianqian didn't know the identity of this young eunuch, and had never had any interaction with him.

But at this moment,

His figure and the mysterious mark made her suspicious.

In this desperate situation surrounded by a sea of ​​fire, the appearance of this figure does not seem to be accidental.

However, the current crisis did not allow her to think too much.

Su Qianqian knew that she had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

Otherwise you will be swallowed by this sea of ​​fire.

She temporarily suppressed the doubts and fears in her heart and began to carefully explore the possibility of escape.

Inside the library, the fire became increasingly fierce. The raging flames were like an out-of-control beast, devouring everything madly.

The volumes of books on the bookshelf turned to ashes under the licking of the flames, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burning and the crackling sound of burning wood.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed out from the shadows on the side.

It turned out to be a guard. His face was full of anxiety and his eyes were searching quickly in the chaotic sea of ​​fire.

When he saw Su Qianqian, a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards her without hesitation.

"Follow me!" the guard shouted.

He grabbed Su Qianqian's arm with such force that she could hardly resist.

He pulled Su Qianqian and ran quickly in one direction, where there was a hidden door, which was faintly visible in the light of the fire.

Su Qianqian was shocked by the guard's sudden appearance and decisive action.

She didn't have time to ask more questions.

They could only follow his footsteps closely. The two of them passed through one sea of ​​fire after another, and the flames seemed to roar behind them.

Finally, they arrived at the hidden door. The guard pushed the door open without hesitation, and a cool breeze rushed towards them.

It formed a sharp contrast with the sea of ​​fire outside.

He grabbed Su Qianqian and flashed into the secret door.

The secret door slowly closed behind them, isolating them from the raging fire outside.

Su Qianqian came back to her senses and looked at the guard beside her whose face was covered in smoke and dust, her heart filled with gratitude and relief.

Su Qianqian's eyes wandered over the guards, trying to find the right words to express her feelings at the moment.

But I found that words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. Su Qianqian's voice was trembling a little:

"Thank you, I don't know how to repay you..."

The guard interrupted her, his eyes firm and calm:

"It is my duty to protect you, Miss Su, because you have worked very hard to save Zhiqing and Zhiche."

Su Qianqian widened her eyes and looked at the guard beside her in disbelief.

The surprise in her heart spread like ripples.

"you……"

Su Qianqian finally found her voice, with a little trembling,

"I don't know your name yet."

The guard was slightly stunned, then replied in a deep voice:

"Miss, my name is Shangguan Fei, and I'm a guard in the palace."

Su Qianqian's eyes flashed with a glimmer of inquiry: "Shangguan Fei, what is your relationship with Zhiqing?"

Shangguan Fei heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing how to answer. Finally, he slowly spoke:

"Zhiqing...she is my childhood sweetheart. We grew up together.

She was already engaged, but was forced to death by Concubine Yao. "

Shangguan Fei was furious and his face was ferocious.

After hearing this, Su Qianqian was shocked.

She didn't expect that the guard who saved her was Zhiqing's favorite and Zhiche's brother-in-law.

Su Qianqian looked at Shangguan Fei and said:

"What should we do next? Is there any passage here that can allow me to leave?"

Shangguan Fei looked around, his eyes flashing with determination:

“There is a secret passage in this secret room, and I have explored the way before.

Please follow me, girl, we will definitely be able to escape safely."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the corner of the secret room.

Su Qianqian followed closely behind, putting aside the surprise and curiosity in her heart for the moment.

At this time, Gu Peng and Gu Yuan kicked down the door of the library and rushed in eagerly to look for Su Qianqian.

Their faces were filled with anxiety and worry, and they kept praying in their hearts that Su Qianqian would be safe.

"Su Qianqian!" Gu Yuan shouted loudly.

The sound echoed in the library, penetrating through the layers of smoke.

At the same time, Su Qianqian and Shangguan Fei had just walked out of the secret passage.

Suddenly, she heard Gu Yuan's call, familiar and anxious, which cheered her up.

"Here!" Su Qianqian responded.

At the same time, he pulled Shangguan Fei beside him and said, "Follow me! They are coming to find us!"

Shangguan Fei did not hesitate and immediately followed Su Qianqian in the direction of the sound.

They walked through the messy bookshelves, crossed the ruins, and finally met up with Gu Peng and Gu Yuan.

"Su Qianqian, are you okay?!" Gu Yuan looked Su Qianqian up and down, his eyes full of worry.

Su Qianqian shook her head, indicating that she was fine, and then turned to the guard:

"Thanks to Shangguan Fei, he saved me."

Gu Peng also looked at the guard, with a gleam of gratitude in his eyes: "Brother Shangguan, thank you so much!"

The guard was about to respond modestly, but Su Qianqian suddenly straightened her face and continued, “Now that Shangguan Fei has saved me, I’m afraid I can’t stay in the palace anymore.

He risked his life to protect me, and I couldn't let him face the next dilemma alone.

Come with us first, we will find a way to settle you down."

Upon hearing this, Gu Peng and Gu Yuan looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Gu Yuan said:

"Su Qianqian is right, you saved her, so you are our benefactor and our friend.

The situation in the palace is complicated now, so it is really not appropriate for you to stay any longer.

Come with us, we will keep you safe."

Shangguan Fei looked at Su Qianqian deeply, then nodded solemnly:

"Thank you very much! I am willing to go with you."

So, the five of them did not delay any longer. They carefully avoided the remaining fire sources.

They walked out of the library engulfed in flames hand in hand...
