Xiu Yuzhen has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she will not stop when she treats things until she achieves her goal. Despite her young age, she stood out among her brothers and ascended to the throne at the age of ten. became the first empress of the Imperial Capital Dynasty.

She is proficient in military strategy, has unique views in politics, at the age of seventeen repelled the Miao Jiang army, after a few years the Miao army did not dare to commit again, and even let His Royal Highness Wu Chung come here to marry and show goodwill.

Who would have thought that a weak woman who was defenseless and powerless could reign over the world, lead thousands of military horses, and be safe and secure on this throne for more than 20 years.

If it weren't for some skill, she wouldn't have sat on this throne safely.

The woman in black walked out of the Zhaoqing Palace, reached out and touched the face under the mask, and no one could see that the face under the mask was punished.

Originally, she was also an innocent and beautiful woman, but because of her father's momentary confusion and collusion with the rebellious party, she actually rose up on the day of the sacrifice and led an army of 100,000 to attack the city.

She was only ten years old at the time, and every day and every year since then she has endured what she should not have endured, physically and mentally.

She also hated, hated her father's mediocrity, hated the strictness of the law, hated the empress for pulling herself into hell, and now she has become a cold-blooded killer who kills people with blood and kills people.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and now, she wants to drag another naïve girl into hell.

This little girl who has never been masked will one day become a person who is dominated by the royal power but has no ability to fight back, just like her current self.

Will she blame herself?

But when she thought about it, she felt ridiculous, why should she care about her own safety if she couldn't help herself.

What she did now was to bring Luo Yunying back from Cangzhou City, and then make up for her efforts to rescue her relatives in the dark and damp prison, her mother, her brothers and sisters, and her father, who was over half a hundred years old but confused.

"Li Chen... Li Chen, hurry up and tell me how to get to the imperial capital. ”

The quirky little girl pestered him and kept asking questions since she came back without even putting down the paper kite.

Originally, Li Chen thought that taking her to release the paper kite would divert her attention, so she no longer dwelled on this matter. After all, he said this at the beginning, just to keep her from being angry with him at that time.

But she has a really good memory, and she never let go of her mouth from the time she went to the time she came back, and she has always talked about the affairs of the imperial capital.

Li Chen began to regret why he had shaken his wit in the first place and said that he could help her solve the problem. Although he also had the heart to help her, but now that Luo Qinghe was going out, all he could be responsible for was to protect her safety, so how could he risk taking her out.

So, now she is in a dilemma, either she is pestered and nagged by her, or she can quickly help her solve the problem.

To be on the safe side, Li Chen chose the former.

After all, safety is the most important thing!

"I'll figure it out, wash up and sleep right now, tomorrow... I'll be sure to tell you the answer tomorrow! ”

"You are clearly lying to me, just a delaying tactic. Because my father is back, I can't go out again. ”

Luo Yunying didn't expect that he would be able to be tricked by him for a while.

While angry, he pushed him away, dragged Xi'er, who was watching the play on the side, into the room, closed the door with a bang, and said loudly to him.

"Li Chen, I want to break with you. From today onwards, none of us will care about anyone, and tomorrow I will ask Aunt Xiu to send someone to take me home, so that I will not be angry with you! ”

Seeing this, Li Chen stood outside the door, and then he realized that he had caused a big disaster, and hurriedly ran to the door and slapped the door with his hand, his face full of remorse.

If he knew that she attached so much importance to the trip to the imperial capital, he would not perfunctory her for the sake of a temporary relationship.

Didn't you dig a pit and bury yourself?

Luo Yunying made an agreement with her father in order to go to the imperial capital, and embroidered the female red she never liked, thinking about the red and glamorous, lifelike red peony, how could she put her pigeon casually now.

So he began to explain and apologize, "Ning Ning, I'm sorry, I was wrong." I really didn't fool you, I was just worried about your safety. Don't you get angry, okay? ”

"Stinky Lichen! Don't knock! I don't want to see you! Xi'er kicked him out, I don't want to see him! ”

Luo Yunying's voice in the room became more and more irritable, and Li Chen knew that he was afraid that he would really be coaxed today.

Xi'er also opened the door and stood in front of him and apologized, "Little Hou Ye, my young lady is spoiled, don't care." You see it's getting late, so why don't you rest early? ”

"But..."

Li Chen pointed to the room, his face was full of worry, he was afraid that Luo Yunying would hold a grudge and ignore himself tomorrow, if he really returned to Jingming Hall because of himself, then he would really be in trouble.

Isn't that the end of it?

"Little Hou Ye, don't worry, I will definitely appease her on my young lady's side. I also hope that today's matter will be kept secret, if I hear it in the ears of Aunt Xiu and the hall owner, my young lady should be punished again. ”

Luo Yunying, as the pearl of Luo Qinghe's palm, has been pampered since childhood, and after a long time, she has also developed a delicate and unreasonable inferior character, and no one will spare her when her temper comes up, she can't say, beat, or scold, and only Luo Qinghe and Xiugu can control it.

After sending Li Chen away, Xi'er looked at the room, listened to Luo Yunying, who was crying and noisy in the bed, sighed secretly, and muttered, "Evil." ”

With a creak, the vermilion door closed, and Xi'er took out the fire fold and lit the candle closest to the bed, and the dark room was a little brighter again.

"Ning Ning, don't make any more trouble. Xiao Hou Ye didn't mean to lie to you. ”

Xi'er is a few years older than her, and she knows how to speak in a measured manner, she opened the corner of her quilt, revealing the back of Luo Yunying's head, and told her calmly.

"How can you speak for him, are you and I in the same faction?"

How do you know that Luo Yunying seemed to have been hit on the head, sat up from the bed, her hair was messy and she didn't ask angrily.

She was very unwilling in her heart, as her good sister, how could she turn her elbow out.

"Xi'er is just unreasonable and not disobedient to others, it is really inappropriate for you to be unforgiving like this."

She is still a dead duck with a hard mouth, shirking her responsibility. insisted that Li Chen deceived herself first, and she would never play with Li Chen again. And said that he would return to the hall with his luggage tomorrow.

Such naïve words made Xi'er cry without tears when she heard it, so she simply followed her words and said that Li Chen's was not good.

Who knows, Luo Yunying is even more reluctant to do this. kept saying that Li Chen could only be said by himself, and no one else could speak ill of him.

It's really duplicitous and self-contradictory.

"Okay, it's late at night, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Emotions come and go quickly.

The bad mood just now disappeared, Xi'er folded the quilt for her, and when she fell asleep, she blew out the lights and candles, and went to the next room to strip and sleep.

I'm so tired today...

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and a dark shadow suddenly entered the deep courtyard of the guild hall, breaking the rare peace.

I don't know where Xiu Gu came from, and it happened to block the way of the man.

"Jing Gongzi doesn't rest in the room in the middle of the night, this is even more exposed, where did he go?"

Different from the costumes of the past, today's appearance is extremely smart and simple.

Today, the three thousand green silk combed into a neat bun with a lacquered gold crown is fixed, a gilded black robe sets off his tall and strong figure, a cold and noble breath from the inside, which makes people shine.

If you don't look closely, you really merge with this darkness and hide in it.

Such a slim and capable outfit is very conducive to agile action, which is like a night walker?

"When I met with friends, I didn't want to disturb Aunt Xiu, it was wrong."

Still unable to see the true face under the silver mask, Rong Jing raised his hand to apologize, and then heard Aunt Xiu say.

"When night comes, it's not peaceful outside. Like this Cangzhou City, the surface is calm, there is no rain and no wind, who can know what will happen in the next second. Out of concern for Childe, it is better for Childe not to go out of the hall after nightfall, and to stay in the room to rest. ”

"What does Xiugu mean by this?"

Xiu Gu glanced at him with cold and expressionless eyes, and then looked elsewhere.

The two of them are separated from each other, and no one can understand what each other is thinking.

She didn't answer his question again, she walked straight behind him, stopped a few steps away, turned her head slightly, and Rong Jing could only hear Aunt Xiu's words.

"Jing Gongzi, let's rest."

When Rong Jing returned to the room and extinguished the lights and candles, Xiu Gu revealed her face from the shadows, her face extremely gloomy.

She suddenly remembered that when she met Rong Jing just now, he didn't have a piano behind him.

According to her long-term observations, Rong Jing has always cherished the qin as his life, and he has to carry it with him wherever he goes, and what kind of friend did he go to meet today to let him unload the guqin.

Suspicious! It's so suspicious!

The room was pitch black with the lights out, and he took a breath of relief as he removed his silver mask and placed it next to his pillow.

At such a time, no one could see his face clearly, and he took off his silver-white mask, and the night covered him with a new unknown mask.

His eyes as deep as a black pool looked out of the hazy window through the night, the dark clouds covered the bright moon, the sparse stars gave the night sky the only embellishment, the world was hazy and incomprehensible, everything was still unknown, and I didn't know what tomorrow would look like.

In the upper room on the second floor of the Dragon Gate Inn, Luo Qinghe poured the liquor in one gulp, although he was here, his mind completely drifted back to his little daughter's side.

It had been a day and a night since he came out of the hall, and he didn't even say goodbye in person before leaving, this trip was uncertain, the front was vicious and uncertain, and his own daughter in the rear was safe and out of his control.

He knew in his heart that someone was secretly hibernating, waiting for Luo Yunying to take action, but he still couldn't help but travel with King Fujun.

He knew very well the secret guards sent by Xiu Yuzhen for so many years, at first it was just to protect their children, but now that the dynasty is in turmoil, he found that Xiu Yuzhen's mind was impure, and he seemed to want to take Luo Yunying away.

He actually let down his vigilance and went to Jizhou, which is 108,000 miles away, for another matter.

He began to regret his decision, and he wanted to get on his horse and return to the guild hall to stay by his little daughter's side...
