At this time, An Xiabai and Nan Hui had been running around outside for a long time, they wanted to take advantage of this incident to completely see Su Elegy's face, and to understand who was behind her.

"Mother, what are we going to do next?" Nan Hui asked, they have been outside for a long time, and it is not a way to always do this.

"Let's echo Watertown."

An Xiabai suggested that he had met Li Ao in Xiangshui Town before, which meant that Xiangshui Town was a particularly important place, and maybe he could find any clues there.

So, An Xiabai secretly returned to Xiangshui Town with Nanjuni.

While passing by a small river, An Xia Bai threw the clothes in his baggage into a nearby river.

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Nan Hui was puzzled, and he looked at An Xiabai with a puzzled expression.

"What do you think I want to do?"

An Xiabai smiled meaningfully, she wanted to create the illusion that she had fallen into the water, so that the person who should get the news would definitely get the news.

As An Xiabai expected, Qi Changjun arrived in less than two days.

Qi Changjun thought that the person who fell into the water was An Xiabai, if this was the case, then her life would be difficult to protect. Qi Changjun was very sad and kept blaming himself for his poor protection.

I just made a mistake and don't say it, and now even the queen mother has an accident, how can he explain to the emperor?

Qi Changjun came to the river, scooped up the clothes in the water, looked at them carefully, and confirmed that this was the queen's clothes.

"How so? Didn't Nan Hui protect the queen well? ”

Qi Changjun sobbed in a low voice, he didn't expect that since the last time he and An Xiabai were separated, they would become the last face.

"Niangniang, it's Weichen's poor protection, if you want to blame Weichen's lack of ability."

Qi Changjun kept muttering, but he felt that there was some noise behind him, and he turned around but found no trace of the person.

At this moment, An Xiabai was hiding in the grove behind the river, she secretly observed Qi Changjun, and found that the usual tough guy actually shed tears, and felt a little funny in her heart for a while.

Qi Changjun never thought that he found An Xiabai in the grove on the side, he looked puzzled, the clothes in the river just now were obviously the queen's, how could she be here?

"Niangniang, are you okay?" He looked at An Xiabai with a surprised expression, not knowing whether he was happy or full of guilt.

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

An Xiabai squinted, looking at Qi Changjun's tearful appearance, she wanted to laugh very much, but she also felt very moved.

"It's okay if you're okay, I see that the clothes in the river are exactly the same as yours, and I thought you were ......"

Qi Changjun didn't say the rest of the words, because he felt that it was really unlucky, so he stopped the car in time.

"I just want you to know I'm here and tell you to come over quickly. Besides, I'm not stupid enough to fall into the river. ”

An Xiabai smiled and comforted him, only to see him wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, sniff his nose, and the sadness and fragility just now disappeared for a while.

He thought something had happened to the queen? I was taken aback, thinking that I would repay her well.

"Don't worry, I won't die so easily. But you just cried. Lord Qi, I didn't expect you to be so sentimental. ”

In order to amuse him, An Xiabai laughed.

"Niangniang, don't make fun of Weichen. I don't know if Niangniang summoned Weichen here, what do I need to do? ”

Qi Changjun's face immediately became refreshed, but if he didn't tell An Xiabai about the things in his heart for a day, he felt unhappy for a day.

"This palace has written a secret order, you secretly bring this secret order to the capital, remember to protect the secret order, but also protect your own safety."

This time out of the palace, An Xiabai can be regarded as seeing the complexity and abomination of people's hearts. No matter how good and kind he appears on the surface, only he knows the darkness in his heart.

Therefore, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, even if a person with strong martial arts skills can't withstand the darkness in people's hearts.

"Niangniang, don't worry, I will definitely bring the secret order to the capital. There's just one thing I have to explain to you. ”

Just now, with a pious face, Qi Changjun's face immediately felt guilty.

"Judging by your expression, something bad should have happened, right?"

An Xiabai asked, because he knew that Qi Changjun would basically not do anything against her, and if he did, he would definitely have to do it.

"Niangniang, Li Ao is dead."

Simple and clear, these four words surprised An Xiabai very much.

"What's going on?"

An Xiabai was surprised, she didn't expect that she would let Li Ao live, but he died.

"That day, Li Ao came to find Weichen and said that he wanted to duel with me. I didn't want to, but he kept pestering him. Weichen really had no choice, so he accepted it. ”

Qi Changjun lowered his head, his face full of frustration.

"You also know that the martial arts of the two of us are comparable. It stands to reason that no one can hurt anyone, let alone die with me. ”

Qi Changjun looked guilty, he didn't expect Li Ao to die because of himself.

"What's going on? This shrine believes that you will not hurt people for no reason. ”

There is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people to use this truth, An Xiabai naturally understands. If she wanted to doubt Qi Changjun, she wouldn't have given him another chance in the first place.

"Wei Chen didn't expect that he would pick up my knife and commit suicide during our duel."

As soon as he said this, the picture of the duel that day was playing in front of Qi Changjun's eyes. He didn't expect that Li Ao would find himself to duel for the sake of death, let alone that he would borrow his own hand to kill himself.

Qi Changjun only remembered that the knife slashed through his throat, and immediately after that, a stream of bright red blood gushed out.

It's not that he hasn't seen murder, it's just that Li Ao's death was a little too sudden, and he died through his own hands, Qi Changjun really couldn't bear it.

These days, he always has nightmares, not that Li Ao came to ask for his life, but that he dreamed of some terrible things that made him unable to sleep.

Seeing Qi Changjun's expression, An Xiabai could probably understand something. She comforted Qi Changjun and asked him to leave his knife.

"Leave your knife to me, so maybe you won't have nightmares in the future."

After listening to An Xiabai's words, Qi Changjun entered the city with the secret order given to him by the queen mother.

And An Xiabai was waiting for Nan Hui's arrival outside the city gate, and she felt a little sorry for Li Ao.

In fact, she also thought that after Li Ao's daughter was killed, his mental state has not been very good. I also thought about whether she would seek death because of this incident, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and what I didn't expect was that Li Ao actually borrowed Qi Changjun's hand to kill herself.

About two hours passed, and Nan Hui found An Xiabai and joined her.

"How?"

"I have already reported to Your Majesty that you are safe, and Your Majesty also said that I will cooperate with you to perform this play."

Nan Hui truthfully reported to An Xiabai, and also said the basic situation of Lu Li.

"When I passed, His Majesty's face was particularly bad. I heard from people around me that His Majesty hadn't eaten for several days, and he was worried about looking for you every day. ”

When Nan Hui saw the emperor, he was really worried, and he was very anxious.

"How can this be, why is he so uncalm?"

In fact, An Xiabai was also happy in her heart, because through this incident, it can be shown that the emperor has her in his heart.

"You're gone, and it's normal for Your Majesty to be upset. It's just that His Majesty immediately understood what it meant when he saw me, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said let me protect your safety. ”

Nan Hui replied truthfully, and she was very envious of the trust and support between them.

"I'm fine, I'm protected by you. It's just that Su Elegy is by his side, which is not a good thing. ”

When it comes to the emperor, An Xiabai is most worried about Su Elegy. When he was there, Su Wangge could scratch his head and seduce the emperor, not to mention that now that he was not around, I am afraid that Su Wangge would use other conspiracies and tricks.

"Mother, I have something I want to suggest to you."

Nan Hiki frowned, he felt that if he didn't say it now, it would be too late.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

An Xiabai didn't know why Nan Hui was suddenly so serious, so he was a little curious.

"I think you should go back to the DPRK and preside over the overall situation. Your Majesty, it's been so long since you came out, and you're not here, I'm afraid the court will be in chaos now. ”

Nan Hui didn't expect An Xiabai to leave the palace this time and didn't go back for so long, so he couldn't help but be a little worried about the situation in the court.

An Xiabai is naturally worried about the affairs of the court, but the civil affairs have not been dealt with yet, and she will never be able to go back.

What's more, no one in the palace should know that the queen mother is no longer in the palace, and Liuliu will definitely preside over the overall situation in the palace. Liuliu was taught by her, and she trusted that little girl.

"The palace can't go back now, the matter here hasn't been resolved yet, if we go back rashly like this, then there will be no point in us coming out this time."

An Xia Bai heard about something, so he was extremely worried.

"Hasn't the pandemic eased a lot? What's more, Your Majesty is safe and sound now, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Nan Hui wondered, didn't they come out this time to send some medicinal materials to the emperor and make sure that the emperor was safe? Could it be that something new is happening now?

"Yes. This palace heard that the people now believe in the White Lotus Sect very much, and there are even people who say that the alleviation of the plague this time is all due to the White Lotus Sect, and it has caused a certain threat to the prestige of the Heavenly Family. ”

When I was with the emperor before, the people there especially respected the White Lotus Sect, and even worshiped them as gods.

And now she heard that the people in many places especially believe in the White Lotus Sect, and the White Lotus Sect will cause trouble in the long run, and the White Lotus Sect was established by Su Elegy, and no one knows what conspiracy she has, so it is definitely impossible to return to the palace now.

"And what are you going to do?"

Nan Hui knew that she had no way to persuade the queen to follow behind her and protect her safety.

"Go to the White Lotus Sect and find out."
