Chapter 215: The Queen Mother Returns
The next day, after Qiu Jue and the others sorted out their salutes, they prepared to leave for the imperial city.
The lark went to find Xia Qing with Qiu Jue's message and asked if he would like to go to the imperial city to study together.
After Xia Qing said goodbye to his family, he went to the imperial city together.
It was not so difficult for their group to go back this time, they returned according to the same way, and under the guidance of Xia Qing, they avoided many infested beasts, and also avoided the wind and snow at the airport, saving a lot of time.
Soon they came to the canyon, and Qiu Jue walked into the cave where Bing'er and Sakura were.
"Miss, what is this for?" Little Pink asked.
Qiu Jue saw the two grave bags and sighed: "Hey! If only we had met them earlier and helped them heal their injuries! ”
"Miss don't blame herself, even if we heal them, they will die here, because they can't live long because of that flying stone." The lark walked to Qiu Jue's side.
Qiu Jue said to everyone: "Leave some people to watch them, and the other part of me go into the cave, and all the people in the Peach Blossom Garden will be safe as pictured." ”
Mo Yi led a few people to explore the road in front, but he didn't expect that the road into it was not easy to walk, the cave was full of thorns, and all of them had to walk forward with their bodies bent.
Even if there were no thorns, there would be rocks or holes, and so they walked for an hour before they got out of the cave.
The other end of the cave became very spacious, and Qiu Jue and the others could smell a warm smell that they had never seen before, and there was also a floral scent.
It's just that there is some smell of blood and rancid in it.
"Miss, this should be the peach blossom paradise, right? I didn't expect the environment here to be so good, there are mountains and rivers, and it is really different from the country of ice and snow. Little Peach said as she ate.
Qiu Jue walked straight forward: "Let's go in and have a look, I don't know if there are other people alive besides Bing'er and Sakura?" ”
As they all walked forward, they found that the Peach Blossom Garden was full of low grave bags, and weeds had grown on them, and it looked like it had been a while.
Mo Yi came to Qiu Jue's side: "Niangniang, there should be other people here." ”
"Well, there should still be survivors." As they spoke, they saw someone not far away hiding in the shadows to spy on them.
"There are people over there, maybe the survivors, let's drop some things and go, don't disturb them." Qiu Jue said.
Xiao Taohong and the others put down some things and came to Qiu Jue's side again.
Qiu Jue looked at the grave bags, and then said, "Everyone, we came here with the commission of Bing'er and Sakura, and we have avenged you, and we originally wanted to come earlier, but at that time, the sadness was still there. ”
"Now that the enemy is gone, you can rest assured." After Qiu Jue finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, the voices of several people behind came over, and a very immature-sounding voice shouted: "Everyone stay, benefactor stays." ”
Qiu Jue stopped, turned to look at the six or seven people, and the leader was a child who was only eleven or twelve years old.
"Benefactor, I'm the village chief here, I just heard that you met Bing'er and Sakura, and you helped us take revenge?" The village chief said.
"Hello village chief, your revenge has been avenged, and you can live in peace."
The village chief excitedly thanked Qiu Jue and the others, and a person behind him suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Bing'er and Sakura?" ”
The village chief also noticed that there was no Bing'er and Sakura in the crowd at this time: "Benefactor, why don't you see Bing'er and Sakura?" ”
Qiu Jue was silent for a moment, and then pointed to the cave behind him: "They couldn't bear the situation outside, plus because of the flying stones outside the sky and their bodies were injured, they couldn't hold it in the end." ”
"Hey! This is their fate, thank you benefactor for avenging us. After the village chief and the others finished speaking, they knelt down and saluted Qiu Jue and the others.
Qiu Jue asked Mo Yi and the others to help him up: "The village chief doesn't need to be so polite, what are your plans next?" Do you want to come with us to the Celestial Empire? ”
The village chief shook his head: "No, we can't leave here anymore." ”
"Alright then, now that we're all in the ground, it's time for us to go." Qiu Jue said and was about to leave.
The village chief called out to her: "Benefactor stays, you can hold such things, it may be helpful to you." ”
Qiu Jue took a jade plaque given by the village chief, glanced at it and immediately put it up: "Thank you village chief, then we will have a date later." ”
The village chief said, "You don't have to go out of the cave, there is a crack in the mountain over there, as long as you go there, you will reach the Celestial Empire." ”
"By the way, you enemies don't seem to have come in through the cave, or through the cracks, how did they get in?" The blackbird asked.
The village chief pointed to the west, where there was a river, from which they had come in, but after you left, no one would find this place again, and it would be sealed forever.
Qiu Jue didn't understand what the village chief meant, even if he blocked the entrances and exits, it was impossible to find it, unless he disappeared out of thin air.
She didn't think much about it, but walked in the direction pointed by the village chief, and after a while, they actually left the land of ice and snow, and the environment in front of them felt very familiar to them.
"Miss, this seems to be the outskirts of the north of the Imperial City, I didn't expect us to save half of the time." Little Pink said excitedly.
Qiu Jue raised his eyes and looked at the imperial city not far away: "I'm finally back." ”
"Mother, let's go into the city." Mo Yi looked at Qiu Jue.
Qiu Jue and a few people walked forward, and some of them still walked towards the imperial city with Mo Qi and them the same way, but it took them half a month.
Mo Shi had already received the news, so he stood outside the city gate and waited for Qiu Jue and others to return to the court.
When Moshi saw Qiu Jue appear in front of him, he walked forward quickly, he was about to speak, but he held back, he came to Qiu Jue's side: "The Queen Mother has worked hard all the way. ”
"Let the emperor worry." Qiu Jue said very calmly.
Moshi said to Duke Pu: "Duke Pu, bring the carriage here, the Queen Mother has been tired all the way, go back to the palace as soon as possible to rest." ”
After Qiu Jue got into the carriage, the emperor also sat on it.
Xiao Taohong and the others looked at each other after seeing this, and then followed the carriage back with a smile.
After Mo Shi got into the carriage, he immediately grabbed Qiu Jue's hands: "You have lost weight, you have worked hard all the way, and I will leave these things to do in the future." ”
Qiu Jue smiled and said, "It's nothing, this time I went out and saw some novelties, and I also brought one back." ”
"Their village is at the junction of the Ice and Snow Country and the Celestial Empire, but it also belongs to the Celestial Empire, and I originally thought that it was all the land of the Ice and Snow Country, but I didn't expect it to be ours." Qiu Jue said with a smile.
Moshi stared at Qiu Jue with both eyes, and didn't want to leave, Qiu Jue looked at his clothes, and then touched his face: "What's wrong?" Isn't your face dirty, I'll change it when I go back. ”
"Promise me not to leave, it's too dangerous outside." Moshi didn't pay attention to what Qiu Jue said at all.
Qiu Jue nodded: "If you don't leave, I will stay in the harem in the future and live a happy life as my queen mother." ”
"Okay, there is a matter between the DPRK and China, and let the rivers and lakes solve the affairs of the rivers and lakes." Inkstone nodded.
As she spoke, Qiu Jue felt the breath of the ink stone in her ears, and it was still approaching, and then she felt a hot breath that stayed on her forehead.
Qiu Jue closed her eyes, she didn't refuse, she didn't retreat, and of course she didn't take a step forward, she knew that all this could only exist with this carriage.
When she arrives at the palace and returns to Yongning Palace, everything will change back to the original state, she is the queen mother, Moshi is still the emperor, and the two will always have a chasm that cannot be crossed.
Not long after, Pu Gonggong shouted outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, Yongning Palace has arrived." ”
Qiu Jue looked at Moshi: "Your Majesty, Yongning Palace has arrived, do you want to go in and have a cup of tea." ”
Mo Shi unceremoniously followed Qiu Jue off the carriage, and the group came to Yongning Palace again.
Xiao Taohong looked around excitedly, she saw that Qiu Jue and Moshi had already entered the hall, so she ran to the kitchen with a smoke.
At this time, the kitchen was in full swing, and Xiao Taohong shouted excitedly after entering: "Big guy, I'm back, do you miss me?" ”
"Little Sister Peach, you are finally back, it's been a year, what have you all experienced? Is there any danger? "Everyone in the kitchen gathered around Little Pink.
Xiao Taohong said: "You cook first, the queen mother is still hungry, and after the mother and the emperor finish eating, we are chatting slowly." ”
Everyone was very excited, and Xiao Taohong gave some scattered silver to everyone: "You take all these, remember to make up for it, Niang Niang has suffered outside." ”
Everyone thanked Xiao Taohong: "Thank you Sister Xiao Taohong, don't worry, we will do our best to make good food, so that the Queen Mother will definitely make up for her body." ”
And what Qiu Jue and Mo Shi talked about in the hall was just something they had seen along the way, and this time they didn't go out for too long, but the two of them were very unhappy in their hearts.
"We've been gone for a few months, are you okay here?" Qiu Jue asked.
After hearing this, Moshi said, "What do you mean by a few months? It's been more than a year now. ”
Mo Shi paused for a moment and said, "Mo Yi sent news that you had arrived at the Peach Blossom Spring, but when the news came again, it was already half a month later. ”
"How is that possible? We only spent one day in Peach Blossom Garden! Is that really the fulfillment of that statement? Qiu Jue's eyes widened.
"What?" Moshi asked.
"It's only been a few days in the cave, and it's been a thousand years in the world, so it seems that what is written in the book is not necessarily an exaggeration! It seems that the village chief is right, we will never find that place again, and there will never be a place like that again. ”
Moshi shook his head: "Don't worry, I will definitely build a peach blossom source in the future, there will be no disputes there, and there will be no such court affairs, some are all firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”
Qiu Jue looked out the door: "I don't know what year and month this kind of life will be?" ”
