The queen was drinking soothing ginseng tea when she heard hurried footsteps outside.

Before she could get up, the palace maid outside hurriedly walked in: "Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived." ”

Why did the emperor come over suddenly? Even if he stayed overnight, he should have sent someone to inform him in advance.

The queen muttered in her heart, and she had already sorted out her clothes in her hands and greeted her at the door, seeing a smile on the emperor's face.

"Why did the emperor come here in person so late?

"Are you embarrassed to ask me?" As soon as the emperor appeared, he had a straight face, and his hands were behind his back.

The queen frowned, not knowing what kind of trouble the emperor suddenly came, but she still calmly accompanied the emperor in.

"These days, the concubines haven't heard of any trouble in the harem, or is someone deliberately hiding something to make the emperor unhappy?"

"The prince said that he left the palace and went out of the palace, and he went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty alone, tell me what you do?

The emperor flicked his sleeves and turned around and sat down, holding his stomach at Liu Guifei's place, but ran to the queen.

It turned out that it was for this matter, and the prince often slipped out of the palace in the past, and the emperor taught him two lessons, but today he ran to her to hold her accountable.

Presumably Liu Guifei said something again, it seems that the previous rumors must not be believed.

"What are you doing in a daze? Are you still thinking of what to say to deal with me?" The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the queen, and he didn't look tender and sweet in front of Liu Guifei at all.

The queen's eyes rolled, and she simply knelt down as soon as her knees weakened: "The concubine knows her mistake, please punish the emperor." ”

"It's just that before the emperor punishes, please listen to the concubine's justification, some things can't just listen to one-sided words, this ideal must be better understood by the emperor than the concubine. ”

"Say it. Although the emperor was a little impatient, he naturally wanted to know what was going on.

The queen lowered her head: "The concubine only learned about this matter today, the prince has always been bent on going his own way, and naturally he will not greet the concubine if he wants to leave the palace, but this time he went to Northern Zhou City for such a major event, it must not be the prince's idea alone." ”

"What do you mean by that?" the queen meant, and the emperor could hear it.

"Although the concubine is the queen, the prince has always been raised by Liu Guifei's side, their mother and son have a deep affection, such a thing must have been discussed, and if you want to hide it from the emperor, you will naturally hide it from the concubine, but it's just ......"

The queen raised her head with a little hesitation, and there was still a little trepidation in her eyes.

"It's just what? If you have something to say, don't swallow it!" The emperor really didn't have the heart to guess these twists and turns, so he took a sip of the teacup.

The queen seemed to have made up her mind: "It's just that the concubine heard that the prince went out of the palace today, there is other news, and the prince seems to have had some accidents on the way!"

The emperor's hand holding the teacup paused, and the word surprise really included too much content.

Presumably, the concubine felt that the matter was too big to hide, so she deliberately told the emperor so as to get rid of the guilt. ”

"He is a dignified prince, what accident can happen?" The emperor stood up violently, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

Before the crown prince assassinated him in the palace, he was scared for several days and did not dare to sleep, and when he closed his eyes, the assassin seemed to be next to his bedside.

Now that the prince has an accident outside, he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, and the emperor feels that his soul seems to have flown out.

"Your Majesty......" The queen got up and wanted to help him, but the emperor seemed to be frightened by something, slapped her hand away, and stared at her with red eyes.

After a while, he raised his hand and stroked his forehead: "I will hand over this matter to the queen to find out, where is the prince now, and you must bring him back!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the prince won't come back. The queen opened her mouth slowly, and the emperor was startled again, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the concubine is just one of the possibilities that I said, the crown prince is your son, bless Tianze, there will be no accident. ”

The queen suddenly changed her tone, and the emperor looked at her only and felt that her face was changing, crying for a while and laughing again, and then suddenly her eyes rolled and she fainted.

In a blink of an eye, it was dawn, Su Qing got up early and changed into clothes that were convenient for travel, and her hair was tied up at will and tied into a high ponytail with a headband, adding a bit of heroic atmosphere.

Qingshuang brought hot water in and asked her to wash, and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, but Su Qing stopped her.

"I don't have to cook breakfast today, I'm going out, you come with me. ”

Today is the day when Xiao Molin arrives in Northern Zhou City, and Xiao Jingchen told her before that they will bring Xiao Molin back together.

Since they left the capital, Xiao Jingchen secretly sent someone to send Xiao Molin to Ziyizhuang, and Boss Zi took care of him.

When the time came, he sent a team to secretly send Xiao Jingchen from the capital to Northern Zhou City, and there were many detours in disguise along the way, and finally arrived.

I hadn't seen my father and master for several months, and Xiao Molin stuck her head out of the car window early in the morning and looked around.

At this time, an old man carrying a bundle of sugar gourds passed by the carriage and almost hit Xiao Molin's forehead.

"Little master, be careful, don't get hurt. The drivers who drove were all shadow guards under Xiao Jingchen, and they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat when they saw this scene.

Xiao Molin waved his hand indifferently and stopped the old man: "Old man, I want to buy a string of sugar gourds." ”

The old man stopped and stretched the sugar gourd to the car window for Xiao Molin to pick it himself, he took one string, thought about it and took two more strings.

"I'm one, Daddy is one, and I'm going to give Master one, you can pay for it. ”

The shadow guard silently took out the money on the side, Xiao Shizi was really thoughtful, but they had never seen the prince eat sugar gourd.

Su Qing and Xiao Jingchen waited for a quarter of an hour in a teahouse inside the city gate, and she kept looking downstairs: "Why hasn't it arrived yet?

"Don't worry, you'll be there today. Xiao Jingchen leaned lazily on the back of the chair, but she was not in a hurry at all.

"How can you rest assured that he will come here alone from the capital? Su Qing felt a little worried when she thought about it.

But fortunately, people arrived safely, and there was no bad news.

At this time, a carriage that looked unpretentious and featureless drove into the city gate, and Xiao Jingchen squinted his eyes: "It's here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Qing went downstairs like a gust of wind.

Xiao Jingchen was a little suspicious that Xiao Molin should be Su Qing's own son, he was not in a hurry as a father, she was like an ant on a hot pot.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Molin jumped out, and when he saw Su Qing, he immediately smiled sweetly, and threw himself into Su Qing's arms with open arms.
