Chapter 484: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
At noon the next day, Su Ruoxi sat in a carriage and entered the palace.
After a few days of cleaning, calm has returned to the palace and everything has stabilized.
After learning that Xuanyuan Yumo was discussing things with the ministers in the imperial study, Su Ruoxi went directly to the imperial study.
Just as she was waiting outside the imperial study, a little eunuch hurriedly came and reported to her: "Lord Priest, the Queen Mother invites you to go to Cining Palace." ”
As soon as she saw that the little eunuch was actually from Cining Palace, Su Ruoxi thought in her heart that she had only entered the palace for half an hour, and the Queen Mother knew that she was really well-informed.
However, the eunuch guarding the door of the imperial study told her that the emperor would have to wait for at least an hour.
Anyway, if she is idle, she will go to the Queen Mother.
She was leaving, and she happened to say hello to the Queen Mother, lest the Queen Mother guard her all day long, afraid that she would suddenly become the queen of the moon one day.
Su Ruoxi followed the eunuch who led the way to Cining Palace, she originally thought that the Queen Mother ordered her to come to give her some reminders.
Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she entered Cining Palace, she saw a table of delicacies, and most of them were her favorite food.
Seeing Su Ruoxi coming, the Queen Mother took the initiative to beckon to her and asked Su Ruoxi to sit down beside her.
"Queen Mother, ...... this?"
Su Ruoxi walked to the Queen Mother's side and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, a little confused.
The Queen Mother took Su Ruoxi's hand and said with a smile: "Ruoxi, this time you saved the emperor's life and helped the emperor so much, and the mourning family has never had time to thank you, so I invited you over today to celebrate your achievements." ”
Hearing the word 'thanks', Su Ruoxi was stunned, and then reacted.
She never thought that the Queen Mother would say thank you to her, as long as the Queen Mother didn't trouble her, she would be very thankful.
"The Queen Mother is serious, these are all things that should be done if you regret it." Su Ruoxi replied indifferently.
Seeing that Su Ruoxi didn't react much, the Queen Mother personally served a bowl of soup, handed it to Su Ruoxi and said, "It's cold, drink something to warm up your body first." ”
Feeling the Queen Mother's strange hospitality, Su Ruoxi quietly sniffed the bowl and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the soup, so she took a sip.
"Does the Queen Mother have something to say to me?"
Seeing that when the Queen Mother watched her drink soup, she looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, so Su Ruoxi took the initiative to ask.
At this time, the Queen Mother nodded and said: "If it is a pity, now you are my veritable high priest in Cangyue, and many innocent people have died in this palace change, so the mourning family thinks about it, and wants you to make a sacrifice, so that those dead souls can rest in peace, pray for the people of the world, and bless me with a hundred years of prosperity in Cangyue." ”
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi smiled and did not agree immediately.
"Queen Mother, in fact, if you come to the palace this time, you want to say goodbye to the emperor. If you regret to go far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to help the Queen Mother make sacrifices for the time being. ”
"Oh? Where are you going? ”
"You're leaving?"
At this time, the voices of the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Yumo sounded at the same time.
Su Ruoxi raised her eyes and looked, I don't know when Xuanyuan Yumo has walked outside the palace gate.
Hearing Su Ruoxi say that he was leaving, Xuanyuan Yumo strode into Cining Palace, came to Su Ruoxi's side, and forgot to say hello to the Queen Mother for a while.
He was originally discussing important matters with the courtiers, but after hearing a report from the eunuch outside the imperial study that the queen mother's people had taken the priest away, he hurried over.
As soon as he walked outside the palace gate, he heard Su Ruoxi say that he was leaving.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yumo was coming, Su Ruoxi thought to herself that she had come just in time, she could tell the matter at one time, otherwise after explaining to the Queen Mother, she would have to go to Xuanyuan Yumo alone to explain it clearly.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Come to the mourners! ”
The Queen Mother called Xuanyuan Yumo, and Xuanyuan Yumo reacted at this time, knowing that he was rude, so he walked to the Queen Mother's side and said goodbye: "The son asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye!" ”
After taking Xuanyuan Yumo to sit down, Su Ruoxi explained: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I want to go to the Heavenly Domain to find something very important." This thing is at stake for my life, so I have to go. ”
She didn't say anything about Tianyu, let alone mention the matter of the Spirit Seal, she just made things simpler, which made it more convenient for her to leave.
The more people who know about Tianyu's identity, the greater the trouble, and the more unsafe Tianyu is.
"What's wrong with you? Why is it so serious all of a sudden? ”
Xuanyuan Yumo asked nervously, the turmoil in Cangyue Country had just subsided, and he naturally didn't want Su Ruoxi to leave.
The Queen Mother didn't speak, but quietly listened to the conversation between Su Ruoxi and Xuanyuan Yumo.
In her opinion, Su Ruoxi's status in the hearts of the people of Cangyue is too high now, which is not a good thing for the royal family.
Therefore, Su Ruoxi wants to leave for a while, she naturally will not object, which can also make her feel a lot more at ease.
Su Ruoxi paused and continued: "Your Majesty, didn't you promise me? As long as I don't resign as a priest, I won't stop me from traveling all over the world. ”
"If there is something unspeakable this time, so I can't explain it clearly to the emperor, and I ask the emperor for forgiveness."
Su Ruoxi's attitude was very sincere, so that Xuanyuan Yumo didn't know what to say.
So, he could only agree: "Okay! I can promise you. ”
"It's just that the terrain in the Heavenly Domain is dangerous, and the people there are murderous and vicious, how about I send someone to escort you?"
Su Ruoxi shook her head and refused with a smile: "The emperor needs manpower around him, so there is no need to send someone to escort him." With his current ability, would he still be afraid of such a vicious person in the Heavenly Domain? ”
Xuanyuan Yumo thought about it and felt that Su Ruoxi was right.
If she couldn't walk in the Heavenly Realm with her ability, then the people he sent would not be of much use.
"And when are you coming back?"
Xuanyuan Yumo asked nervously, as if Su Ruo regretted leaving, he was afraid that she would not come back.
Su Ruoxi thought about it and said seriously: "Naturally, after finishing my own affairs, I will immediately return to Cangyue." ”
"Cangyue has my home, my relatives, and the thoughts of the emperor and the queen mother, how could I be willing to leave for too long."
Although she didn't have too deep feelings in her heart, she had to say these words to them.
After hearing her words, the Queen Mother involuntarily nodded and praised: "Okay! Since it is a pity to have its own affairs, it is inconvenient for the mourning family to stop it. ”
"Your Majesty, you can let Ruo Xi go to the Heavenly Domain. If the mourning family remembers correctly, it will be the fiftieth birthday of the Wuxian clan patriarch in a short time, so Su Ruoxi will take this opportunity to send a congratulatory gift to the Wuxian patriarch on behalf of my Cangyue, expressing my Cangyue's friendship to the heavenly region and the Wuxian clan. ”
Hearing the Queen Mother say this, Xuanyuan Yumo remembered this matter.
So he immediately agreed: "Okay! I almost forgot about such an important thing! ”
"If it's a pity, I can't get out, so you will represent me Cangyue and send a congratulatory gift to the Wuxian clan. In this way, with the care of the Wuxian clan, you will not dare to be troubled by anyone in the Heavenly Domain. ”
