The dark night was so long, like a chariot full of baggage, slowly and heavily driving towards dawn. With an anxious and apprehensive heart, I knelt in front of the Buddha statue in Chunhui Hall and silently chanted and prayed. Since the death of Concubine Zheng, Chunhui Hall has been renovated into a Buddhist hall, and I return here every day to recite the "Mantra of Death" for Concubine Zheng. And now, I am praying for my Chu Qing, praying that he will turn evil into good fortune and return safely.

When the sky was white and the earth was shining with the first rays of sunshine, I felt as if I had been waiting for years. At this moment, I finally tasted the torment of waiting and experienced the hardships of living like a year.

I freshened up early and waited on the way back from the Taiji Hall to the Manna Hall. I'm waiting for the emperor to come down, and I'm going to ask him for an explanation. If something really happened to Chu Qing, with his status as a quasi-horse, the front line would send the news back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

This time, I asked Yuhan to accompany me alone. I knew that Yun Qing, like me, was anxious to know about Chu Qing's situation, but I didn't let her accompany her. The so-called concern is chaotic, I am afraid that the shrewd queen will see the clues from Yunqing's slight abnormal behavior, so that she will seize the handle and use it.

After waiting for more than an hour, I finally saw the emperor's canopy from afar. I immediately greeted him. "Sister Chang Shan begs to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

The whole guard of honor stopped because of me, and the emperor stepped out of the sedan chair. "Jingjing, why are you here? Why don't you go to the Manna Hall and wait for me? Look at your face red by the autumn wind. "The emperor still cherishes me as always, and he took off the Sujin cloak that Gao Huai'an had just draped behind his back and draped it on my body.

For my sake, the emperor simply abandoned the warm sedan chair and walked with me to the Manna Palace. In order to make it easier for the emperor to talk to me, Gao Huai'an himself only took a few eunuchs and palace maids to follow from afar.

"Brother Jiu, please tell Jingjing, is there a battle report from the Goguryeo front? Is there any news about Xue Chuqing? "I deliberately used my childhood title to tell the emperor that I have no intention of state affairs, I only talk to him about private matters, and I just want to know about Chu Qing's situation.

"This ......" the emperor looked embarrassed, which caused me even more uneasy.

"Brother Jiu, no matter what happens, please tell Jingjing truthfully." I walked a few steps briskly, and at once I knelt before the emperor. Yuhan followed me and knelt down.

The emperor looked reluctant, leaned over and tried to help me up: "Jingjing, what are you doing, get up and talk quickly." ”

"No, if Brother Jiu doesn't say it, Jingjing will never get up."

"This ......," the emperor began to mutter again.

"Your Majesty, since the princess is so concerned about Lord Xue's safety, according to the concubines, it is better to tell the princess General Xue's 800-mile urgent military report, after all, the princess will know these news sooner or later." At some point, the Queen was already standing behind me.

The Emperor looked at me with a complicated gaze, and finally sighed and walked past me towards the main hall of the Manna Hall. When he passed by the queen, he only whispered: Comfort her for me.

The Empress naturally agreed meekly and tactfully, and only after the emperor's figure disappeared into the Manna Hall did she slowly paced in front of me and looked at me coldly.

Unwilling to grovel in the face of the queen, I immediately rose from the cold stone ground.

"Hey! His Majesty always leaves the problems to the palace and makes it difficult for the palace to be a man. Although the queen said this, there was schadenfreude in her eyes.

I categorically intercepted the queen's words: "Since the queen feels embarrassed, the princess is not reluctant." Please forgive this princess for retiring first. I blessed the queen and turned away.
