#She is saying light em' up. She knows she is about to die, and is basically telling Daenerys to "Burn them all" as the Mad King might say.

Dracarys is clearly meant for Dany. Missandei knows that her life is over, and she is saying, you know, "Light them up."

In addition, she herself later confirmed this in an interview with elle.com.

(NATHALIE) She's normally quite calm and stoic. Her yelling is not really something we've seen before. I wanted to make the most of this moment and make sure that it meant something. In a way it was her own war cry, to her friend and her queen. It's so funny because she'd told Grey Worm earlier, "My people are peaceful." But in her last breath she's like, "Burn them all! Burn these fuckers to the ground."

This, as we all know by now, is the thing Dany says when she wants Drogon to breathe fire — the word literally means “dragonfire” in Valyrian. So why did Missandei say that? Drogon is nowhere to be seen in that scene, so surely she wasn’t trying to get him to light Cersei on fire or whatever. Right? Right. No, Missandei was just doing a badass sendoff. By choosing “dracarys” as her last word, she was basically telling Daenerys, “F— these guys.” Or as the Mad King might say, “Burn them all.” Series creator David Benioff emphasized this point in the aftershow, phrasing it a little bit differently: “Missandei knows that her life is over, and she is saying, you know, ‘Light them up.'”

So, she was just dissing Cersei (in a foreign language of course).
