The next day, at the gate of Kyoto City, Su Yanqi's carriage slowly drove out of the city gate, and suddenly a hurried female voice came: "Qi Langjun, wait a minute!"

Su Yanqi raised his head and saw Ning Ziqing sprinting toward him with her skirt in hand.There was a slight movement in his heart, and he immediately stopped the carriage. A smile slowly appeared on his face, and he quickly got out of the car and faced Ning Ziqing.

"Qi Langjun, are you leaving?" Ning Ziqing ran to him and asked with concern.

"I have nothing to do and want to go out and travel again." Su Yanqi smiled softly, lowered his eyes and looked at Ning Ziqing, looking at her tenderly.

"Is this what your Majesty means?" Ning Ziqing raised her head, with some doubts in her clear eyes.

She also heard the rumors in Kyoto. Late last night, Huo Yunjue climbed over the wall into her garden and told her that Emperor Yao had summoned Su Yanqi.

Early this morning, she heard the news that he was leaving Kyoto, so she hurriedly came to see him.

"Qingqing, I want to go voluntarily." Su Yanqi looked at Ning Ziqing and said, "Don't worry, I will be back soon."

He paused for a moment, his expression slightly solemn, "You... and His Highness the Fourth Prince should be more careful, especially the Second Prince. He is already determined to win over you."

"I'm not afraid of him!" Ning Ziqing said seriously, with a cold expression on his face.

Su Yanqi looked startled, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "If you confront him head-on, you, a weak woman, will not get any benefits. You must learn to be patient."

"His Royal Highness the Fourth promised that I will protect you. If there is any danger, you will go to him for help, do you understand?" He continued, with a look of worry on his gentle brows.

"We obviously had to wait a few more days to completely suppress the second prince, but I didn't expect them to do it so quickly." Ning Ziqing's expression became solemn, and there was a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Su Yanqi was keenly aware of her astonishing changes, and his eyes trembled involuntarily.

"What do you want to do!" Su Yanqi asked in a deep voice, his face full of worry and concern.

Ning Ziqing was stunned for a moment, realizing that her emotions had been a little out of control just now.

She quickly calmed down the expression on her face and responded with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think His Majesty is too unfair to you, Qilang-kun. As long as you analyze this matter carefully, you can find that someone else is deliberately framing you. But he What is the purpose of asking you to go to Yueyao Country?"

"Qingqing, be careful what you say, and don't speak ill of His Majesty!" Su Yanqi reminded her sternly.

The smile on Ning Ziqing's face became even wider, and she continued: "Or, he has actually had a grudge against you for a long time, and this time he just took this opportunity to deliberately test you!"

The heart of an emperor is unfathomable.Although people often say that thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king, Ning Ziqing feels that the royal family is the most ruthless.For the sake of power, everyone is just a pawn in their hands, and other people's lives are like ants, at their mercy.

"Shut up! If you make baseless assumptions about His Majesty, you will get into trouble sooner or later. You don't want your life!" Su Yanqi's face darkened, he pulled her over, looked around cautiously, and then looked at Ning Ziqing's eyes steadily. Zhang Mingyan’s charming little face.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that this face was becoming more and more unfamiliar, giving him a sense of alienation.

"Qilangjun, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I just feel that sometimes fate should be in my own hands. If I just surrender blindly, what's the point of this life?" Ning Ziqing's eyes were deep and a layer of haze filled her heart. , but there was an unruly look on his face.

After hearing her words, Su Yanqi's eyes were full of worry, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. Suddenly she felt an inexplicable sadness welling up in her heart.

He took a deep look at Ning Ziqing, his eyes blurred and confused. Finally, Su Yanqi said solemnly: "It's best to be careful!"

"I'm leaving, please take care of yourself." Su Yanqi looked away, her gentle brows filled with thousands of incomprehensible worries.

Then, he turned around and quickly climbed into the carriage.

"Then I wish Mr. Qi Lang a safe journey and smooth sailing!" Ning Ziqing said goodbye to Su Yanqi gently, but Su Yanqi in the carriage did not respond.

Across the horse curtain, they seemed to be separated into two different worlds.

In the carriage, Yan Si said angrily: "Your Majesty, I agree with the third lady. We have repeatedly given in, but His Majesty still treats you and the Su family like this. Why don't we resist?"

Su Yanqi glared at her coldly and shouted sternly: "Shut up!"

Su Yanqi frowned, but his eyes were very calm. Then he took a deep breath and said: "This time I am retreating in order to advance. For the sake of His Highness the Fourth Highness, Concubine Wan, and the Su family, I must endure it."

After he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, a cold air suddenly appeared on his gentle face: "Didn't the Second Prince say that I can't protect Third Miss and the Su family? Then I'll let him see if I can protect them!" At the end, Su Yanqi's eyes revealed a fierce and cold look.

His voice sounded like ice, his expression was serious, and he ordered again.

"Send the order and ask the hidden stakes lurking in Yueyao Kingdom to close the net. I want to give the second prince a big gift!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yan Si responded.

"Let's go!" Su Yanqi's face was as gloomy as ink, and he sat upright in the carriage. His whole person exuded a cold and majestic aura, which was completely different from his previous gentle and elegant image.

Yansi signaled the horseman to set off, and the carriage slowly drove away from the city gate. The sound of horse hooves in the distance gradually disappeared in Ning Ziqing's ears.

Ning Ziqing stared at the direction Su Yanqi left, his eyes deep and his face a little complicated.

Then she turned back to the city.

At the city gate, the second prince stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes coldly snarling at Lu Heng behind him.

"Lu Heng, I asked you to force Su Yanqi to write a divorce letter. How can you write a divorce letter if you get someone out of Kyoto?"

Lu Heng, who was dressed in dark blue robes, leaned against the city wall and looked at the second prince leisurely with a smile on his lips.

"Your Highness, everyone has been kicked out of Kyoto, why do you still care about the divorce letter? This is just a piece of paper." Lu Heng looked relaxed.

"Now the beauty is right in front of you. Without Su Yanqi, His Highness can boldly pursue the third lady. When His Highness has her fascinated, how can she remember Su Yanqi who was driven out of Kyoto by His Majesty? ." Lu Heng chuckled, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.

"You are really cruel. This alienation tactic has made your father suspicious of Su Yanqi." A sneer appeared on the second prince's face.

"I guess my father has already planned to give up on him. That's why he will be driven to Yueyao Kingdom. Who doesn't know that the shaman clan of Yueyao Kingdom hates the Su family deeply. If he goes there, he will not be able to survive. Correct." His tone was a little proud and sarcastic.

"Lu Heng, your trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone is really wonderful!"

The second prince looked at Lu Heng, with a hint of appreciation and admiration in his eyes.

"Every tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed, and he does not want to personally get rid of those who His Majesty cannot keep." Lu Heng put away the folding fan and said calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his expression.

"I'm just doing something with my hands. Whether he can survive or not depends on Su Yanqi's ability." There was a sense of arrogance and calmness in his tone, as if he was full of confidence in his own strength.

He walked to the side wall of the city gate and stared at the direction where Su Yanqi disappeared. There was a trace of expectation in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "However, I don't want him to die too early. This game of chess has just begun. Come on, I want to see how he turns a dead chess piece into a living chess piece."

"It's a bit humiliating for you to stay by my side!" The second prince couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Heng's expression was startled, his heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head and bowed back.

"Your Highness has been kind to me, and I am willing to stay with His Highness. I will do my best to help His Highness achieve great things!" Lu Heng's face was calm, but there was a trace of awe and respect in his eyes.

"With your words, Your Highness will feel relieved. However, this third lady has a very fierce temper, and Your Highness may not be able to please her." The second prince frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face.

However, Lu Heng looked calm and said easily: "My fair lady, gentlemen are fond of being jealous. As the saying goes, a brave woman is afraid of stalking her husband. Your Highness might as well give it a try." He waved the folding fan in his hand and didn't seem to think that pursuing Ning Ziqing was a difficult task. .

The second prince glanced sideways at him before leaving with satisfaction.

After Su Yanqi left, the capital was calm for only a few days before a new rumor quickly spread throughout the streets.

At first, this rumor was only spread by word of mouth among some young children, and people did not pay much attention to it.

But as time went by, more and more people began to hear similar rumors and discussed them in teahouses, restaurants and other places, which attracted widespread attention.

Huo Yunjue leaned against the window of the elegant room in Sifang Building, looking out at the street scene with a leisurely expression. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he knew something well.

"There is a strange phenomenon in the sky, the evil star appears in the world, the sun covers the crape myrtle, and disaster strikes!"

"Ning Ziqing, do you believe these rumors that are misleading the public?" Huo Yunjue couldn't help but smile and looked sideways at Ning Ziqing who was drinking.

"You said it was a rumor. It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not." Ning Ziqing put down the wine glass, arched her eyebrows and raised a bright smile.

"But if you want the entire Kyoto and the whole world to believe this rumor, you need to add more fuel to the fire." Ning Ziqing's smile became brighter, and there was a slight blush on his face due to drinking, which made it even more... Beautiful and charming.

Huo Yunjue approached her, leaned close to her face, and asked solemnly: "Are you sure that the demon star will come from the north and crash in Kyoto in three days?" His tone was low and serious, and his brows were furrowed. There seems to be some uncertainty.

"If your Highness doesn't believe it, then you bet me that I will be drunk with the fragrance of peach!" Ning Ziqing blinked a few times, then raised his head and smiled.

"Do you really like to drink the peach fragrance of Sifanglou?" Huo Yunjue stretched out his hand and gently placed his palm on Ning Ziqing's palm-sized face. His fingertips gently brushed her red cheeks, feeling affectionately. Staring at her.

"This Taoxiang Zui from Sifanglou is the best wine I have ever drunk. Do you want to try it?" Ning Ziqing picked up the wine bottle on the table and shook it twice in front of his eyes.

"Taste it?" Huo Yunjue chuckled, staring at her beautiful face with evil intentions, a hint of warmth in his eyes.
