Early the next morning, Long Yunxuan entered the palace and asked Emperor Dongling for an order to go to Yanzhou to investigate the case. Emperor Dongling thought about it and agreed to his request.

However, Emperor Dongling said that he had to wait until the Queen Mother's birthday party before he could leave Duqicheng.

He thought that it would take some time for Su Liluo to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother's old illness anyway, so he directly agreed.

He played two more games of chess with Emperor Dong Ling. Seeing that the hour in the hourglass was approaching, he quickly got up and left.

Emperor Dongling knew his little intentions and did not dismantle him.

After leaving the Dafu Hall, Long Yunxuan quickly walked out of the palace gate, and sure enough he saw Su Liluo, who had finished giving the Queen Mother an acupuncture massage, already waiting for him in the carriage of the palace.

"My lord!"

The green-tip white fingers raised the curtains of the carriage, and Su Liluo's plain little face was filled with a smile, waving to him.

Long Yunxuan's deep eyes were surging, he raised his thick eyebrows, and with a cheerful expression on his face, he directly used his inner strength to speed up his pace and walked towards the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Long Yunxuan turned around Su Liluo's shoulder very naturally and raised his hand to press it for her.

The light orange fragrance lingering on the black hair was like the warmest sunlight at noon, flowing into the tip of his nose, making him curl up the corners of his lips.

"You must be tired. Has the condition of the Royal Grandmother improved a bit today?"

"Well, after I gave her acupuncture and massage in the past few days, she practiced the health-preserving exercises I taught her. Grandma said that she could no longer hear Grandma Huang crying out in pain at night.

With the decoction that nourishes qi and blood, removes cold and dampness, and continues acupuncture exercises, I predict that she will be in good health and no different from ordinary people in less than a month. "

Long Yunxuan's big hands holding the sword were pressing on Su Liluo's shoulders as soft as clouds.

He raised his thin lips and said with a smile: "My father has already agreed. After the birthday banquet of the emperor's grandmother is over, I will be allowed to leave the city and go to Yanzhou to investigate the case.

Counting the time, it should be within a few days of the day you cured the imperial grandmother's stubborn illness.

When the time comes, Li Fei and I will go ahead, take a carriage through the pipeline, and investigate on the open road.

You and Wuying ride over secretly. This way, your safety is guaranteed. "

If the three evil spirits of Qiongzhou learn that the emperor has sent people to investigate their case, they will probably focus on the imperial envoy.

Long Yunxuan thought carefully. He hoped that he would be the target so that Su Liluo could reduce the risk of being targeted by evil people.

Su Liluo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to take risks for me?"

What she meant, he understood.

In this city of Duqi, there are already many people who want his life.

It is very difficult to block open and hidden arrows.

If Long Yunxuan really goes to Yanzhou in the future, once the news spreads, the life and death hardships he will surely experience along the way will definitely be more dangerous than in Duqicheng.

Long Yunxuan slowly leaned forward, put his thin lips close to her ear, and said in a crisp voice: "I said that I am willing to do anything for the princess.

Why, before the princess questioned that the king was unwilling to trust you, but now, the princess has become unwilling to trust the king? "

Su Liluo felt the unique fragrance of Qinnan on his body and the hot breath on the side of her ears and temples. Her lips moved and she said with a sweet smile:

"My lord, do you really think I'm a silly little white rabbit?

Tell me, apart from the Three Evils of Qiongzhou, what is your purpose for this trip to Yanzhou? "

Long Yunxuan listened to her straightforward question and did not answer. However, his big hand that was originally on Su Liluo's shoulder slowly moved to her white and slender neck.

The next second, the gravel-like calluses on his palms formed by holding swords and guns all year round covered her tender skin.

Long Yunxuan's smooth Adam's apple moved, and then a deep voice sounded in her ears:

"Su Liluo, you question my sincerity so much, which really makes me feel very chilled!"

"Really? Feeling cold is a disease, so we have to put it aside and see if it can be cured..."

Long Yunxuan's long eyes lowered, focusing on the short dagger at his heart, his dark eyes moved, and he laughed out loud.

"Why, the princess doesn't use silver needles anymore, but uses daggers instead?"

"Hmph!" Su Liluo smiled and said, "My lord, you are too thick-skinned and thick-skinned, I'm afraid the silver needle won't penetrate you!

Tell me, what are your thoughts on going to Yanzhou? "

"Hey!" With a long sigh, Long Yunxuan was not worried that her hand would slip and pierce the dagger into his heart. While he drew circles on Su Liluo's neck with great gentleness, he said pitifully: "Princess What a sharp eye. In fact, one of the assassins who killed the Queen Mother slipped through the net and is still at large to this day.

A few days ago, news came that the man's whereabouts had been discovered near Yanzhou.

Therefore, I want to take the opportunity of investigating the case to visit Yanzhou. "

Su Liluo tilted her head and looked at Long Yunxuan's face carefully with her beautiful eyes. From his expression, she judged that what he said should be true.

Her eyebrows moved, and she raised her hand to put away the sharp dagger.

"It has been so long, how can your people judge that that person is one of the assassins back then?"

Su Liluo knew that the death of the former queen was a scar in Long Yunxuan's heart. If it was not touched, it did not mean that it had healed.

"Whether those assassins were killed on the spot or were captured and bitten to death, they all had a special pattern tattooed on their bodies. That person was found by a prostitute and he also had it on his body.

Therefore, I suspect that that person is probably the assassin who ran away back then. "

"Yes." Su Liluo saw the pain that Long Yunxuan was trying to hide in his eyes. She turned around and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist without hesitation.

Putting her warm chin on Long Yunxuan's broad shoulders, she curved her lips and said with a smile: "Long Yunxuan, my mother has a spirit in heaven and will protect you from catching that assassin soon.

However, I believe that as a mother, she hopes to see you happy and happy.

Life is about encounters turning into partings.

For the Queen Mother to be your mother, it may be the most beautiful encounter in her life.

Therefore, you should also face the parting with her with a happy smile.

Because only if you are happy, will she be happy.

Maybe my hug does not have the warmth of a mother, but I hope it can reduce the pain in your heart a little bit..."

Long Yunxuan, who was suddenly hugged by her, was stunned. The hand covering the side of her neck was frozen for a long time before slowly tightening it.

His other strong arm seemed to have found the direction of his heart, and wrapped around Su Liluo's slender waist.

"Thank you, Su Liluo. Thank you for coming into my life."

There was a slight tremor in his voice, and Su Liluo could clearly feel how excited the person holding her was at this moment.

Sometimes redemption goes both ways.

Su Liluo, who was hugged tightly by Long Yunxuan, also felt the warmth that she had never experienced before.

In the past, she was used to living alone. When the mission was over, she would go on vacation all over the world by herself, without worries or expectations.

At this moment, she knew that from now on, there might be one more person in her world for her to care about.
