Peony, The Flower Fairy
Zhong Qing was awakened by a burst of smoke.
Since Yan Yan left, most of the time, she only stayed in her flower pot, except when she occasionally turned into a human being to just gather some information about what was happening in the Northwest.
After all, being a flower fairy transforming into a human being was most comfortable for her.
At the moment, a green light suddenly flashed in the palace.
Her eyes looked a bit squint. That was already late at night and the entire Cornelle Palace was shrouded by the smoke.
Presumably, the guards should be heavily guarding the inner sanctum that's why no one can't sneak in.
Zhong Qing began to feel very uncomfortable. She covered her lips and she was coughing several times.
She also began to feel a burst of burning pain.
The poison of fire was
a nemesis to all plants.
"I have to leave quickly!" Zhong Qing thought.
At that moment, the Cornelle Palace was in a commotion. Zhong Qing looked around but most of those eunuchs in the palace just cared about their own escape. No one would think at that time about the magnificent peony of Prince Yan Yan.
She had no choice but to rely only to herself to be able to survive.
Zhong Qing then rolled a long sleeve, carefully placed her body bedside, and suddenly dropped yo-yo spin to the naked eye to reduce the speed into the sleeve.
Actually, there was something wrong with what she said to Yan Yan about to her body before he was sent off to the Northwest. In fact, if she was not bound by anyone, she can carry her body anywhere and anytime if she wanted to leave but she was born in the palace and the mother of Yan Yan raised and took
took care of her for a long time there and later was carefully nurtured also by Yan Yan. It can be said that if she was closely linked with anyone in the Imperial Palace, she was not allowed to carry her body anywhere anymore.
And that was the reason why she can't be with Yan Yan in the Northwest.

Zhong Qing covered her nose and mouth by her right hand, while her other hand was waving to make a way avoiding the smoke and dust and concealing the figure while walking away towards the hall.
But she underestimated the fire.
By the time she got out of the room, the fire
the fire already surrounded the entire Cornelle Palace.
The people who were living outside the palace heard the news and rushed to see it.
Zhong Qing only felt some aches more and more causing intense pain into her body. She was no longer hesitating to go back to her original body while she was walking away from the hall.
In the end, she was just a peony which had to change into a human from time to time. The strength of the peony was not as strong as it was.
Zhong Qing only felt like her skin burning up. The pain she felt made her frown tightly.
Anyhow it came out.
Finally, she ran out to half squat on the ground, her skin was still with residual bursts of burning sensation. She didn't look because she already knew, it was certainly a burn.
“System, couldn't you help me in shielding pain?” Zhong Qing asked.
The System flashed white, “Host, the System can really System can really shield perception, but in this situation, it is not conducive for the host to determine her own situation.”
Zhong Qing couldn't say a word.
"Anyway, the System has a point.", Zhong Qing thought.
She felt sudden dizziness because apparently, she just consumed too much power and at that time, she's already a little exhausted.
The voice of the System suddenly came out, “Host, one thing I have to remind you.”
Zhong Qing impatiently said, “What is it?"
The System calmly said, "When you just run out of time, stealth will be ineffective.”
Zhong Qing just couldn't explain the pain she was feeling.
She suddenly looked up on the figure on her right.
She saw Zhang Jing, the gorgeous and dull face, the first from the palace before Emperor Hinode and the Empress.
Zhong Qing couldn't do anything and everything seemed to be hazy.
Her eyes closed and she fainted.
