Since General Feng was fine and left by himself, Song Yong and Xu Chong were relieved, they didn't open their mouths to keep them, and they planned to arrange an itinerary for them.

Who would have thought, but Qiu Jue shook his head, "We won't leave for the time being." ”

"Huh? Why? "Ula Yingyue is not happy, they came out of Lingnan to see the outside world, and what they yearn for the most is the imperial city of the Celestial Empire.

didn't expect Qiu Jue to say that he wouldn't leave for the time being.

"Otherwise, I'll let you go to the Imperial City first, and there will naturally be someone to entertain you there."

Qiu Jue thought about it, if she stayed here, Ulado would not go to the imperial city, but if there were so many people around her all the time, she would not dare to show up.

Now, send the Ula siblings away, or Urado will appear.

"You really don't want to leave, you've been away from home for almost a year, don't you miss home? What's there to do here? ”

Ula Yingyue still wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by her brother, "Ah Yue, don't be rude to the Queen Mother." ”

This is the realm of the Celestial Empire, and although Qiu Jue is their friend, she is first and foremost the Empress Dowager of the Celestial Empire, one of the most honorable women in this country.

In the future, they can't be so casual anymore, otherwise although Qiu Jue doesn't care, it is difficult to ensure that the people next to him have no ideas.

For example, these two lieutenants have already looked at the two of them unpleasantly at the moment.

"Queen Mother, the patriarch instructed me and my sister to go with you, then we will accompany you here, anyway, we don't know anyone else even if we go to the imperial city, it's boring."

Urarim decided to stay and go to the Imperial City with Qiu Jue.

Ula Yingyue really didn't like it here, it was similar to the place they had been, there was nothing to see.

Song Yong returned the task of defending the city to the guards here, and he led people to track down the group of people who came in pretending to be the queen mother, but there was no news for many days.

Qiu Jue stayed here for five days and then gave up, there was no news from Uraldo, and a large number of officers and soldiers sent out without any trace of her.

She decided to go back to the palace.

Because, when Lu Zhan came, he found her directly and told her that Qiu Zhentian had returned to the dynasty and was now in the imperial city.

"Grandpa is alright?"

Lu Zhan nodded, "The head of the family is fine, but he is worried about you, Niangniang, and when he learned that you were trapped in the Dark Night Forest, he asked his subordinates to come to respond." ”

"Niangniang, let's go back to the palace!"

"Okay, Skylark, you go clean up, inform the Ula brothers and sisters, let's go immediately." Qiu Jue commanded, she had a feeling of desperate to go home.

I want to see grandpa.

Lu Zhan was interested in visiting the new people, Qiu Jue introduced him one by one, and for the others, Lu Zhan just lightly said that he had seen it, but he was extremely enthusiastic about the poison saint Xie Qianjian, which made Xie Qianjian feel a sense of satisfaction.

"You kid has a future." also patted Lu Zhan's shoulder to show satisfaction.

Qiu Jue's last introduction was the second son, Mo Yu.

Lu Zhan was just stunned for a moment, then turned around and solemnly bowed his hand, "Lu Zhan has seen the second son." ”

In fact, Mo Yu's identity is very embarrassing, before the death of the first emperor, he was dead, so no one has an honorable title, and the world can only call him a second son now.

But in fact, he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, became famous at a young age, and is the prince on whom the emperor pinned the greatest hopes, and the heir to the real name.

Now, it is his royal brother who has ascended the throne, and he has not received half of the honorific title.

The second son didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

Outside the Dark Night Forest, Mo Yifeng arrived in the dust, searched for a few days, and still had no good way to break a few people, and they were all about to die.

"What did you say?"

Mo Wei reported, "Chief, traces of the Queen Mother have been found in the southern border. ”

"What?" Mo Yi was taken aback, "Is the news accurate?" ”

"Exactly, it's from the guard Song Yong."

Mo Yi waved his hand, "Withdraw and hurry back to the southern boundary with all your might." ”

That night, Mo Yi and they rushed back to the city, and Mo Wei reported that the Queen Mother had left.

This made Mo frown.

Mo San was puzzled, "Head, this is someone blocking our news." ”

Needless to say, Mo Yi also understood, "Strict investigation." ”

Although he said this, a chill rose in his heart, it was terrible.

They were the most elite secret guards on the emperor's side, and they were supposed to be in charge of the affairs of the front and harem, but now someone blocked their news, so that they were always slow to get the exact news.

It's horrible.

"Head, what now?"

All their news is handed over layer by layer, if there is a problem in one link, the one behind will deviate by 108,000 miles, if you continue to chase it like this, I am afraid that when you reach the imperial city, you will be played by the other party.

But the Queen Mother has always been uncertain, and she has larks around her to help, and it is not easy to find them.

"Let's find the lark girl."

There is a special way of communication between the secret guards, even if they are separated from this group, there is also an emergency contact code, of course, they are not allowed to use it unless they have to.

"Nope." Mo Yi refused directly, but did not give a reason.

"Send a message to the master."

Speaking of which, Mo Yi still wanted the emperor to know as soon as possible that it was really terrible for a second prince to be by his side.

He didn't tell the other guards that maybe it was the second son who was causing trouble.

After all, he used to be a secret guard, and he was the best of their group.

He knows almost everything about the dark guard, and if it's him, what does he want to do?

Qiu Jue and his party walked very smoothly this way, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

After all, the road was too difficult.

"Niangniang, tomorrow is the New Year." In the evening, they stayed at this inn, because the big guys all went home for the New Year, and the inn seemed particularly deserted.

Qiu Jue stood at the window and looked at the moon outside, her mind a little wandering.

Today is exactly the sixteenth, and the moon is big and round, "It turns out that no matter where you are, the moon is the roundest of sixteen." ”

The lark took a winter coat in his hand and draped it over her.

"You go to sleep first, you don't have to guard me."

The lark saw that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't persuade her much, just thinking that she missed the old man of the Qiu family, after all, this New Year, these ladies have never had a precedent for spending the New Year outside.

After the lark left, Qiu Jue was still standing there, she had been in this time and space for less than a year, but she had experienced too many things.

When she first came over, she was pushed to the bottom of the lake and almost reincarnated again, this matter is over, she has no power so she can't find out who is behind the scenes, and she doesn't care about it at that time.

Later, the second prince sneaked into the palace and put a knife on her neck, the palace was too dangerous, she wanted to get out of the palace, so there was a deal with the queen mother.

But the days outside the palace are not as free and happy as she thinks, they are still full of dangers, several times of life and death, her mind has changed, and she still yearns for the days outside the palace, but she also hopes that this world will no longer be so dangerous.

She lived in a peaceful era, where no one would be killed on the street for no reason, and no one would be held hostage if they made a boat.

Here, she has experienced too many such things, and for people like her, who have no martial arts at all, the days outside the palace are even more terrifying.

If she was just an ordinary person, she would be able to live longer, but she couldn't, even if she wasn't the queen mother, she was the only heir of the Qiu family, and she was destined to be impossible to live an ordinary life in her life.

At this moment, Qiu Jue suddenly understood how simple and stupid his thoughts were before, and when people enjoy a certain blessing, they will take responsibility accordingly.

She will never be able to return to that simple life.

And her responsibility is to protect her grandfather and protect the Qiu family.

The more Qiu Jue thought about it, the farther she came back to her senses, she felt that she was thinking too much, she didn't understand anything, she didn't have any power, why should she protect her family?

Thinking of this, she thought of another person.

The one she never thought of, and always ignored in her heart, the person who was three years younger than her.

Little Emperor!

He lived in the market since he was a child, and one day he was brought into the palace, and someone told him that his father was the emperor, and his task was to learn to be an emperor.

In a strange environment, no one can fully believe in strange people, the government does not understand at all, and the world gradually leaves him.

All the familiar disappears, and all the strange he has to blend in.

When he first met, he was timid and cowardly, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, but Qiu Jue understood that he was just protecting himself with that innocent appearance.

After leaving the palace, he was occasionally unreasonable and occasionally lost his temper, but he cared about himself.

Slowly, he learned to be patient, learned to hide his emotions, and learned to use all the people and things he could use, including her.

Still, she felt sorry for him.

Even if he didn't say goodbye in the end, although she didn't say it, she complained in her heart.

So she didn't want to go back to the palace, she didn't want to face him, and she didn't want to intrigue with those people, she chose to leave the Heavenly Empire and stay away from him.

Nominally, she is fighting for herself, but she has always known that she has a few pounds and a few taels, so how can she possibly invite the poison saint, even if she says her identity, she is not sure.

She just wanted to walk more in this world and think more.

Think about the road ahead, how to go forward, after all, there is no going back to that time and space.

But despite this, the little emperor still hid it from everyone, and even found reasons and excuses for her, and even personally repaired a letter to the Lingnan patriarch, for fear that she would be in danger, and even put forward the willingness to form an alliance with Lingnan.

You must know that now he has nothing, no influence in the court, no right to speak, to put it mildly, he is just a puppet, or a puppet who doesn't understand anything.

Even if he wanted to form an alliance with Lingnan, no one would listen to him.

Despite this, he still did it, even if he was not recognized and would be laughed at by others, he still did it.

For her!

To protect her!

Getting closer and closer to the imperial city, Qiu Jue's heart was beating faster and faster, she knew what it was like, fear, excitement, worry, all kinds of emotions were mixed together, so that she felt like this.

However, she had to keep her emotions under control.

"Such a good interest, it seems that I came at the wrong time!"

A string of wild laughter came, Qiu Jue stared at it, and there was a woman sitting on the roof opposite, facing her sideways, her black hair fluttering in the wind, showing a flamboyant atmosphere.

Especially from Qiu Jue's position, she happened to be sitting under the moon, which added a little hazy.

"Uradour, you, are finally here."
