Before the queen could react, news came from outside that there was a fire in the third prince's room.

The Queen was shocked and asked, "What? A fire broke out? The Third Prince Chen Yi lives next to you. If the fire gets bigger, won't it burn over here?"

Then, the queen took Chen Yu's hand and said, "Hurry, let's get out of here, this room is too dangerous!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu pushed him away.

"You asked me to go out with you now because you were afraid that no one would know that you had escaped from Fenghua Palace and came to Lingxiao Palace, right?"

"Or do you want everyone else to know that I secretly protected you."

There was a flash of disappointment, grievance, and disbelief in the queen's eyes.

With moist eyes, she asked, "How can you say that? Mother misses you too much, so she ran out secretly regardless of the risk, just to see you..."

Chen Yu curled his lips in displeasure and said, "I didn't ask you to come! Besides, I'm a prince, what can I do? From childhood to adulthood, you always like to do things that I don't need at all to impress yourself!"

The queen was disappointed to see that her son had been thinking like this all these years.

"I'm not doing this for you!"

"No one asked you to do this for me!" Chen Yu immediately retorted

The two people were so busy arguing that they didn't notice that the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Outside, the people who were secretly patrolling the Queen arrived at Lingxiao Palace and happened to encounter a fire in Lingxiao Palace, so they joined in putting out the fire.

Everyone exclaimed, "Quick, the Third Prince is still inside, hurry up and save him!"

People worked together to put out the fire. The guards poured water with buckets, and the palace maids poured water with ladles. They were all working hard together.

The leading guard discovered that the fire was quite big, so he quickly sent someone to tell Xia Lu and then report to the emperor.

This is Lingxiao Palace, the residence of the princes and princesses. If anything bad happened to the Third Prince there, no one would be able to bear the blame.

The queen and the second prince in the room did not realize something was wrong until they smelled the thick smoke, and they did not bother to argue any further.

The second prince covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. "Hurry, the fire is coming, let's get out!"

The queen looked at the door opposite and couldn't help thinking that if she went out and stood in the public eye, she would definitely be discovered by the emperor...

The Queen hesitated and said, "But, but if I go out, your father will know. I wanted to sneak out and then sneak back... In this way, I can't hide the fact that I sneaked out of the palace!"

The second prince was furious and said, "Mother, it's already this hour and you still have the heart to think about these things. You are really short-sighted and womanly!"

"It's up to you. If you go out, you may not be discovered by the emperor. You are sick, who would think that you escaped secretly? You will die if you stay here!"

After the second prince finished speaking, he turned around and ran outside because the fire was getting bigger and bigger. He was really afraid that he would lose his life here at such a young age.

When the queen saw her son running out, she covered her mouth and nose and ran out with the second prince.

The palace servants outside saw the other door coming and shouted excitedly, "Look! It's the Second Prince. The Second Prince came out safely!"

Then, people spotted the Queen following behind the Second Prince. "Eh? Isn't that the Queen? How did she come out from here? She's even wearing the clothes of a palace maid!"
