Xiahou Qian and Hua Luo walked on the way back to Kyoto.

Xia Houqian is still dressed in the same light blue shirt that has not changed for thousands of years, with long chestnut hair, and a gentle temperament like a pool of blue water wrinkled by a gust of wind.

The mask on Hua Luo's face was removed, the Gu lines were gone, and her hair lost its confinement and spread out at will, with two soft strands hanging down on her chest, and the others scattered behind her, reaching to her waist.

Originally, the oblique bangs were cut into neat straight bangs because they were too long, and the face shape was more round and soft.

However, she is not the kind of bloated pie face, but a very small goose egg face, because the face is small and delicate.

Take a closer look, the porot's skin is porcelain white, the eyelids are crescent-shaped, a pair of watery apricot eyes, the eyeballs are large and round, the nose bridge is straight and delicate, and the lips are as full and fresh as a cherry.

When she speaks, she inadvertently reveals a row of white teeth, if the expression is bigger, it will reveal the upper row of sharpened and prominent tiger teeth, a pair of ears looming between the broken hair on both sides of the cheeks, the whole temperament is delicate and cold, very girlish.

Xiahou Qian said to Hua Luo: "Your Highness, although we have obtained the letter of understanding from the Feng Clan, and Young Master Yan can be spared death, Your Majesty will not let Young Master Yan go easily, Your Highness...... Be mentally prepared."

"Of course I know that." Hua Luo said casually in a sweet and crisp voice, "The worst plan is to be locked up for a year, which is better than losing your life."

Hearing Hua Luo's answer, Xia Houqian breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Hua Luo would quarrel with the empress again because of this matter along the way.

The two went to see the empress together.

The empress was still looking through the letter of understanding from the patriarch of the Wind Clan, and Hua Luo said, "Please forgive my father."

Hearing this, the empress looked up sharply and saw that Hua Luo was wearing a thin moon-white skirt, and her hair was draped vertically and casually, and this dress was like a female ghost at night.

The empress reproached in a reproachful tone: "Prince, look at what you have made yourself, wearing a cloak and not paying attention to your image."

"Queen Mother, the son-in-law hurried back to hand in the letter of understanding for a while, so I don't care about anything else, you can investigate the fault of the son-in-law later, please forgive your father's capital crime."

Hua Luo whispered in front of the empress.

"Okay, I can go to the prison instead without killing him, and I can't step out of the prison door without my will."

Hua Luo blinked and did not speak.

The empress looked at Hua Luo: "Prince, you have any intention of objecting."

"The retainers obey."

Thinking that she could leave without anything else, the empress left Hua Luo for the first time: "Xiahou Qian, you step down, prince, you come with me."

Xiahou bowed and left.

Hua Luo arrived at the empress's bedroom, and there was no one else next to the empress except for a female official Guo, and the air was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

The empress saw that Hua Luo was not wearing a mask, and the Gu lines on her face had disappeared without a trace, and she remembered the main reason for this turmoil, and slowly spoke: "What happened to Murong Zhan this time......

"Erchen knows his mistakes, as a prince, he should have a stronger psychological quality than ordinary people, if Erchen is calm and calm enough to deal with it calmly, he will not be poisoned by too many mood swings."

Hua Luo was articulate, her tone was as skillful as flowing water, and the look in the empress's eyes was complicated, and she didn't know what to say.

Hua Luo pounced and knelt down: "Please forgive the queen mother."

"That's it, I don't blame you this time, you start preparing to go to the Snow Clan's Minglu Forest to cure your Gu poison, and wait until the Gu is solved before going to the quarry to be punished."

"Yes, thank you, Queen Mother."

"Go ahead."

The empress waved her hand gently, and the pendant symbolizing the empress's identity on her head swayed.

"The retainers are retired."

After Hua Luo finished speaking, she withdrew.

After the person left, the empress sighed faintly.

Female official Guo was like a roundworm in the empress's stomach: "Actually, Your Majesty just wanted to care about the Gu poison of His Royal Highness the Prince, right?"

The empress nodded, in a calm voice

There was a slight hint of sadness in the line: "Female Officer Guo, do you say that I am really too strict with the prince?"

"Slaves and maids have served by His Majesty's side since they were children, and they understand His Majesty's hardships, thinking that when His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were generally old, the Apocalypse Kingdom was ruled by only men, and women were only worthy of sitting on men's laps."

"Your Majesty has overcome all difficulties, broken secular prejudices through hard work, and set a precedent for women to be emperors, and the women of the Apocalypse Kingdom have just stood up, how can Your Majesty let the situation she worked so hard to create be broken by the next generation."

"Therefore, His Majesty was cold to the prince on the surface, and even deliberately let the prince hear those words, so as to create a sense of crisis that he might be replaced at any time, in order to make His Royal Highness the prince strive to be motivated and dare not relax."

"But there are gains and losses in everything, Your Majesty has indeed achieved remarkable results, the prince has lived up to expectations and become a qualified prince, but from the bottom of his heart, he has a deep prejudice against Your Majesty."

"Maybe when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is older and has his own children, he will be able to understand Your Majesty's hard work, and then the Crown Prince will naturally understand that Your Majesty, you don't care about her, on the contrary, among the nineteen princes and princesses, she is the one you care about the most."

"I hope so."

Hua Luo walked out and saw Xia Houqian waiting outside.

"Xiahou, you have also worked hard during this time, you have accompanied me to so many places, and after several trips, I should treat you."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, this is what a minister should do, and a minister should not be rewarded."

"Don't?"

Hua Luo played with a strand of long hair hanging down from her chest: "Then I'll give you a good marriage."

"Your Highness, the minister said that the minister has no plans to continue the string for the time being, and I ask Your Highness to withdraw the order."

didn't expect Hua Luo to mention this stubble again, Xia Houqian was very surprised.

"Then what's the matter, you're still young, it's impossible not to continue the strings, don't worry, just by virtue of our affection, I will find you a woman with excellent character and temperament, and I will definitely be able to treat your two children as my own."

Xiahou Qian was a little helpless, and diverted the topic: "Now is not the time to think about this, isn't Your Highness planning to go to Minglu Forest, and the minister asks to go with Your Highness."

"No, you can't come with me." Hua Luo said decisively, "I don't know when I will be able to come back, and who should take care of the property and power under my hands?"

"So you have to stay, if I can't come back, at least you can promise not to let them fall into the hands of my scheming sisters and brothers."

"Your Highness, don't say anything discouraged, after taking the Qingxin Pill this time, your Gu poison has improved a lot, and the divine doctor recommended by Yan Gongzi will definitely not be bad, and it will definitely cure your Gu poison."

Hua Luo stroked her smooth and fair face: "The Gu pattern only disappeared temporarily because of taking the Qingxin Pill, and it won't be long before the medicinal power of the Qingxin Pill is completely devoured by the Gu poison, and the Gu pattern will resurface, the Qingxin Pill is the sacred object of the merman race, and only this one in the entire continent can't cure my Gu poison, which shows how tricky it is."
