The fire raged on. The clamor outside grew louder and louder, but no one came to her rescue. Yun Shang chuckled to herself. Although she had expected this to happen, she still felt somewhat desperate.

Smoke leaked through the cracks of the door between the inner palace and the hall, bringing Yun Shang to coughs and tears. Suddenly, she heard a bang on the window.

Empress halted. She raised her head and saw the Emperor behind Yun Shang frowning. The Empress smiled and walked up to Yun Shang. She took the young princess' hand, and then said softly, "The other day, Shang'er injured herself in a fall. I have been praying for Shang'er in Qiwu Palace for the last two
