However, before Lou Xue'er could make a decision, a holy decree directly recalled her, and Lou Xue'er didn't know how to face her father at all.

The emperor of the northern kingdom is a middle-aged man in his fifties, the whole person looks sick, always holding a handkerchief in his hand, often covering his mouth and nose and coughing, every time he coughs, it seems to cough out his lungs, and his pale face is suffocated a little blood because of coughing.

Lou Xue'er stood in the middle of the hall, bowing her head slightly, if it was usual, she would have run over like a rabbit, rubbing the emperor's face and beating her back, at this moment, she could only wait, I don't know how long it took, Lou Xue'er felt that her feet were going to stand numb, and finally, the emperor stabilized his cough and spoke.

"Tell me, what have you done?" The emperor said straight to the point.

Listening to this strange and indifferent voice, Lou Xue'er's heart couldn't help but tremble: "Father, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"Do you think that I am sitting in the deep palace and I don't know what is outside? Your little trick can be hidden from me, but you can't hide it from me, do you think it out yourself, or will I tell you for you? The emperor looked very unenergetic, but every word and sentence was very clear, leaving Lou Xue'er with nowhere to hide.

But Lou Xue'er was still deliberately pretending to be confused: "Father, I really don't understand what you're talking about, I just went out to have a little fun, what tricks will there be?" Father, don't laugh. ”

"Lou Xue'er!" The emperor suddenly shouted, and then there was a violent cough, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

Lou Xue'er panicked and wanted to go up to care about the emperor, but she was frightened by his cold eyes and retreated.

"From now on, you will stay in the palace for me, and you will not be allowed to leave for a single step! If I let me know that you used your identity to scare the palace people and leave the palace, I would definitely not spare you! The emperor's tone at this moment, as if he was a stranger, did not have a trace of warmth.

Lou Xue'er felt that she had no strength in an instant, she had been planning for so long, but she still didn't get anything, but she caught up with herself, and also caught up with her eldest brother, she originally wanted to take advantage of this period of time to rescue her eldest brother quickly, and come to a hide, but she didn't expect that after all, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and everything was exposed.

The emperor waved his hand, and immediately came in two guards, one left and one right, and took Lou Xue'er out of the hall, after Lou Xue'er left, the emperor seemed to have used up all the strength in his body, and sat weakly on the chair, panting heavily, and the eunuch saw this, and quickly took a cup of tea and helped the emperor drink it.

After slowing down for a long time, the emperor's face finally became a little pale, and the emperor slowly closed his eyes and said, "Go and find Qingyu." ”

"Yes." The eunuch responded.

It didn't take long for a galloping carriage to stop at the gate of the small courtyard, and a person got out of the carriage, it was the eunuch who had been in the palace before, he was in a hurry, but when he entered the small courtyard, he was very respectful.

may have known for a long time that someone was coming outside, and a person came out of the house, and it was the good-looking man.

When the eunuch saw the man, he was about to salute, but he raised his hand to stop him, looked back, and looked at another thatched hut, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch looked a little anxious: "Your Highness, the emperor invites you to enter the palace now." ”

This man is none other than Lou Qingyu, the second prince of the northern kingdom, who is idle, does not like to be restrained, likes to live freely, and does not care about politics at all, so the people of the northern country rarely see this second prince, and even if someone sees it, they may not know his identity.

Lou Qingyu looked a little resistant: "I've said it many times, I'm not interested in your things at all, so don't bother me if you have anything in the future, I just want to stay here quietly, if you come to disturb me at every turn, I have to leave the northern country." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he panicked and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, something happened this time, the emperor's health is getting worse, and he is a little powerless, so I ask His Highness to go back with me to relieve the emperor's worries." ”

"Then I don't need it anymore, for my father's worries, my eldest brother is enough alone, I will only make my father unhappy, and it won't have any effect." In that place of the palace, there seemed to be some fierce beast, and Lou Qingyu felt that his scalp was numb when he thought of it, and he couldn't arouse any interest.

"Your Highness, this time it's because of the matter of the eldest prince!" Seeing Lou Qingyu's unhurried appearance, the eunuch became even more anxious.

"My eldest brother? What happened to him? Lou Qingyu was slightly surprised.

"Your Highness will follow me into the palace, and you will know everything." The eunuch said.

Lou Qingyu thought for a moment, and then said, "You take your people to wait outside first, and I'll go later." ”

The eunuch retreated, and Lou Qingyu immediately knocked on Lan Xin's door, and after a while, the door opened, and Lan Xin poked his head out.

"Something?" Lan Xin asked.

"Girl, I have something to go out, if you are bored and want to go out, you must be careful." As he spoke, he untied his purse and put it in Lan Xin's hand.

"There's a little silver here, you can buy what you need, the premise is, you must protect yourself, if you encounter any danger, I am not there, but I can't save you." After Lou Qingyu finished speaking, he left.

Lan Xin was confused for a while, looked up, and saw him get into a gorgeous carriage, and began to ponder secretly.

"What a strange man." Blue Heart muttered.

After arriving at the palace, the emperor was already lying on the bed because of his weak body, and when he heard the report from his subordinates, he asked people to help him sit up.

Lou Qingyu looked at the emperor with such vicissitudes, his eyebrows suddenly moved, and he seemed to be a little unbearable: "Father." ”

"You're here." The emperor pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Lou Qingyu to sit down.

"What did my father call me?" Lou Qingchen didn't walk over, he kept standing aside, he didn't want to get closer, and he always felt that he had some resistance to this emperor.

The Emperor sighed, and then said, "Do you know anything about the northern border?" ”

"I don't know." Lou Qingyu suddenly thought of Lan Xin, could it be that her father wanted to ask her? So, my heart became vigilant.

"The border is all busy with the big brother, and I haven't asked about it." Lou Qingyu said.

"Your eldest brother was captured by the Southland." The emperor said with a gloomy gaze.

"My eldest brother was arrested?" When Lou Qingyu heard this, his spirit immediately tensed, and then, as if he knew something.

"Father, you should know, I have never cared about political affairs, so for such a thing as leading troops to fight, my father should find someone else." Lou Qingyu didn't wait for the emperor to make a request, so he directly refused.

"Are you still blaming me?" There was a trace of pain in the emperor's eyes, and some self-blame.

"Father said with a smile, you are the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can I blame you, is there anything else that Father Emperor has? If not, I'll go back first. Lou Qingyu spoke very calmly, but his words were like a feather crossing the emperor's heart, although he couldn't set off the stormy waves, but it made his heart unable to calm down.

"Qingyu, you help me again, help me rescue your eldest brother, and then, I will set you free." The emperor seemed to have made some important decision, closed his eyes, and said weakly.

Lou Qingyu didn't want to agree, but in the face of this tempting condition, his heart was still shaken: "Okay, I promise you, but I also ask my father to speak and count, and after the matter is completed, he will no longer restrain me." ”

"It's a deal." The emperor nodded despite his reluctance.

Then, pointing to the scroll of paper on the table next to him, he said, "Open it and look at it." ”

Lou Qingchen opened the paper scroll, there was a portrait on it, and there was also a wanted document, I thought it was just an ordinary portrait of a fugitive arrested, but when he carefully identified the face of the painting, Lou Qingyu's fingers couldn't help but tighten.

Isn't this man ...... It's the woman I saved!

"No matter what method you use to find this woman, as long as he is there, your eldest brother will be able to come back safe and sound." The Emperor said.

"What does she have to do with her eldest brother?" Lou Qingyu didn't know why, and suddenly, he minded that Lan Xin had something to do with Lou Qingchen.

"Nanguo replied that this woman should be exchanged for your eldest brother." The Emperor said.

After listening to this, Lou Qingyu couldn't calm down for a long time, and carefully put away the paper roll and said, "I know, there is nothing else, so I will retreat." ”

"Light Feather—" The Emperor suddenly shouted eagerly.

"Father, is there anything else?" Lou Qingyu turned around and asked.

Would you like to ...... "stay and talk to me for a while?" In the second half of the sentence, the emperor couldn't help but say nothing.

"It's okay, you can go." After saying that, he lay down again and closed his eyes.

Lou Qingyu looked at his weak appearance, his expression was a little unbearable, he opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and quietly retreated.

Out of the palace, Lou Qingyu rode directly back to the small courtyard as fast as possible, and after dismounting, he went straight to the hut where Lan Xin lived, and pushed the door open without saying anything, and there was no one inside, Lou Qingyu's heart tightened.

"Damn! I'm your savior. You left without saying a word! Lou Qingyu once showed an angry look, and after speaking, his hand clenched into a fist and hit the door frame hard.

At this time, Lan Xin walked into the small courtyard, staring at Lou Qingyu with a puzzled expression, and when she saw him knock on the door frame again, she was startled, and the basket in her hand also fell to the ground.

Hearing the movement behind him, Lou Qingyu hurriedly turned around, and was overjoyed to see that familiar face, and then, his face became gloomy again.

"What the hell is going on with you woman? Why don't you say hello to me when you go out? There are so many bad guys out there, if I get caught by them again, where do you let me go to find you? Lou Qingyu was counted for a while, as if the blue heart was his personal belonging.
