The queen's face was unusually pale, her expression was tense, the corners of her lips were pursed, and she looked a few years older than usual without fat powder.

Qin Yining lowered her eyes, didn't dare to look directly at the queen's face, and asked respectfully, "Is Niangniang okay these days?" ”

Her mind was turning a thousand times, thinking about how to inform the current situation in the most tactful way, and by the way, let the queen understand her approach and not make a noise about this matter.

"The main palace is fine. It's just that this time I was trapped in the Karma Peak, and the palace didn't know about the rest. The queen shook her head tiredly, her face serious.

Qin Yining's eyes widened in surprise.

The queen's request coincided with her thoughts, and she understood it when she thought about it. Thinking that she is the mother of a country, it is a great shame to be deceived so far, not to mention that she is still trapped on the top of the mountain with a foreign minister. She was worried that she would be talked about and suspicious, and the queen was also worried about being talked about and suspicious.

Since both sides are so worried, things will be easy.

"Yes, the courtiers promise that no one will publicize this matter, and the queen's mother is sympathetic to the monks in the temple, and her benevolence is really admirable." Qin Yining saluted in admiration.

The queen blinked when she heard this, and hooked the corners of her mouth shallowly.

It seems that Qin Yining thinks that she is thinking about the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and is unwilling to let these outsiders bear the charge of poor protection?

But only she knows in her heart what she is most afraid of.

This unexpected and beautiful memory for her is a secret that she wants to cherish in her heart for the rest of her life. She wanted to be alone and slowly reminisce.

She knew that she shouldn't have such thoughts about the coward, and she also knew that such unethical behavior was not tolerated by the world, so she never thought of spreading out and telling anyone that she was *, and she could only be a qualified*. She won't let life leave a stain that can't be washed away, but there are some feelings she regards as treasures and wants to treasure them for the rest of her life.

The experience on the Karma Peak, these few short days are enough for her to reminisce for a lifetime.

"The palace is lacking." The queen's eyebrows were tired.

Qin Yining thought about it, then approached and briefly talked about the recent events, and finally said: "The courtiers can't either, find someone to wear your clothes, comb your hair and pretend to be you, this time you go back, if you don't want to be known about it, you still have to act quietly." ”

The queen frowned, surprised that someone could pretend to be herself and fool the guards.

But after thinking about it, she and Xiao Xiao were suddenly trapped, and Qin Yining was a woman, and it was not easy to suppress this matter. She couldn't find fault with any more.

"Okay." The queen nodded understandingly, "It's understandable that things are in a hurry." In this way, according to what you said, the main palace should be considered to be a retreat for 18 days. ”

"The mother is wise." Qin Yining said with a smile, "Then please take a break, and send you back to the palace when you find an opportunity." ”

Qin Yining deliberately blurred all the process, and even did not say anything about the time to find the time for the change of guards, in order to reduce the queen's fear.

Otherwise, the place where the mother of a country cultivates, the guards outside are heavily guarded, and someone can still find a gap for the shift change to arrange people to enter, and the queen is afraid that she will be worried that they will assassinate?

Although they don't have this idea, it is better to be cautious.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi had long been ready to greet Xiao Xiao and his party at any time, and the people who should have been supported had already been supported. Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao took the queen back to the side courtyard where the meditation room was located without effort, and Qin Yining told the news that Grandma Sun and Empress He Bin had escaped safely, and the two of them almost jumped three feet high with joy, so they naturally tried their best to cooperate with Qin Yining's arrangement.

That night, the people in the Guanyin Hall became the real queen.

Tang Xiu finally didn't have to sit inside and eat the snacks he had smuggled in, but he still had to maintain his manners, and occasionally pinch his throat to speak.

Xiao Xiao bathed and changed clothes, shaved his beard clean, devoured a meal, and rested early.

Qin Yining also slept peacefully, and did not rush to ask about the matter on the Cause Peak.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yining took someone to greet the queen as usual, but was still politely stopped by Mama Sun and went back to the room before asking about the process of the day.

Xiao Xiao said it in detail, and then said with a calm face: "What is the purpose of the person who deceived the queen to go to the Cause Peak, I still can't figure it out." The queen was not harmed, and when I went, a group of snakes surrounded her, and she could not move, but the snakes did not bite her, and the drawbridge collapsed, and I could not pass, and you could not hear the words, so I lived with the queen on the wild fruit there, and there was no difficulty in eating and drinking. Since there was no other danger, I was even more suspicious of the man's purpose. deceived the queen and led me over, what the hell is he for? ”

Qin Yining pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Looking at it this way, it seems that the other party deliberately trapped you and the queen there." I guess it's to dig a hole for me to jump. ”

Qin Yining couldn't help pouting when he said this, "Tianjizi has always come to see me unpleasantly, and he has wanted to get rid of me several times, although he won't kill me now." She's happy to add to my blockage. ”

"Can you already conclude that the master is Tianjizi?"

"Who else but her?"

Qin Yining shook his head, Mu Jinghu was the brother of Xiao Xiao, and Qin Yining didn't want to embarrass Xiao Xiao, so he didn't continue the topic, and said: "Although the matter has been resolved, in the end, this matter is not small." When the guards forcibly tried to break in, there was already a quarrel. In addition, the guards around the queen are not simple origins, and they also know that you are not in the temple these days. Even if they can't think that you and the queen are trapped in the Karma Peak, they will think that you have taken advantage of this time to secretly do something. ”

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "What you said, maybe this son and saint have already received a tip, knowing that I am 'restless' these days - Xiao Zhixi, this kid, is restless and begging God to worship Buddha and beg for the prosperity of the country and the people, and he is alone Where to get some conspiracy to harm me!" ”

Xiao Xiao learned Li Qitian's tone eighty percent, and Qin Yining, who listened to it, couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright. It's good to be able to go back safely. Let's leave this time, avoid the harassment of the Tatars, and when we want to go back, Zhongyibo also thinks about how to move the treasure. ”

Xiao Xiao snorted lightly, "He's a smart person, but sometimes if he wants to get things done, it's useless to be smart himself." It also needs to be accompanied by the reality of the situation. Siqin is also resourceful, and he also participated in the treasure battle at the beginning, knowing that there is such a thing, if Lu Heng reveals too many flaws, Siqin will also be alert. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Yining was a little sweaty for Lu Heng.

"He's going to have to work harder. If not, wouldn't you be bothered? ”

Qin Yining was a little unhappy when he talked about Lu Heng, but seeing that Qin Yining was thinking about him wholeheartedly and didn't care how difficult Lu Heng was, Xiao Xiao felt happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "You also have to believe him, sooner or later he will think of a way." Anyway, the queen will have to retreat for a while, so let's stay for the time being and help the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple repair the suspension bridge, which can be regarded as a good thing. ”

Qin Yining nodded, the suspension bridge was originally broken because of us, so naturally we wanted to repair it.

In the next few days, the emperor was really in retreat.

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining also took people to help the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple deal with the suspension bridge.

Xiao Xiao came back suddenly, and Xing Baoshan naturally sent a secret letter to Li Qitian. But Xiao Xiao didn't care at all. It is better to be suspicious of Li Qitian than to be suspected by Li Qitian than to know the truth of the matter. Anyway, even if he doesn't do anything, Li Qitian will still be suspicious of him.

In the blink of an eye, July 20 is the day when the queen's retreat ends.

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining personally led people to greet the queen, and Abbot Xuanyun was naturally also listed.

"The queen has lost a lot." Qin Yining stepped forward to support the queen, who had lost a lot of weight, her face was yellow and tired, and sighed, "Niangniang prays for the blessings of the people, honesty and heaven and earth can be learned, and the Bodhisattva will bless Niangniang's wishes come true, safe and smooth." ”

The queen smiled and said, "I will borrow your auspicious words." ”

Her voice was faint, obviously tired to the extreme. Only she knew that she was just sighing at Qin Yining's stupidity.

If it is according to what Qin Yining said, "all wishes come true", eighty percent of Qin Yining will cry, right?

The queen rested on the mountain for two more days before proposing to the emperor about going down the mountain.

At this time, the suspension bridge has been rebuilt, and the swagger not only did not take a penny from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, but also gave a large amount of money and food. Now that the matter has been done, the natural queen said to go down the mountain, so she will go down the mountain.

To the surprise of Xiao Xiao, when she went down the mountain, the queen did not shout anything like "the jade body and gold guards can't be touched".

Xiao Xiao didn't take the initiative to ask, and the queen didn't ask for it, so Xiao Xiao just took Qin Yining away, and waited at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, and the guards also took turns to carry the queen safely.

"Mother, the carriage is ready. You can go at any time. ”

After the crowd was in order, Grandma Sun stepped forward to ask.

The queen sat in the luxurious brocade canopy carriage, lifted the curtain up a gap, looked back at the steep Juhuang Mountain, and then looked at the team of Xiao Xiao and his party, and smiled, "Go and ask Prince Zhongshun when he will leave, let's go together." ”

"Yes."

Mama Sun immediately received the order.

Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining didn't plan to continue playing, they couldn't really leave the queen, naturally how the queen asked and how to agree. The two went all the way to Huichuan County, and there was nothing to do on the road.

However, halfway through the journey, the group encountered a man and a rider who were rushing from the direction of Huichuan County.

The young knight on the horse, dressed in an iron-gray round-necked sunflower shirt, looked like a lieutenant, and when he saw the team of Xiao Xiao and his party, he immediately slowed down, and as soon as he pulled the reins with both arms, the yellow horse stood up and screamed.

"Ahead is Prince Zhongshun's troops?"

"Exactly." Tang Xiu stepped forward to answer.

The lieutenant official was overjoyed, immediately turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Our Qiu Min, I was ordered to go to Huichuan with the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Ma, and learned that the queen was walking with the prince, so I specially greeted him. ”
