Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

He stared at her, his dark eyes filled with tenderness. He put her hand to his lips and breathed heat into her, "The only thing I want is you."

And she never knew it.

Qingchen's heart trembled, and she didn't know how to answer him at the moment. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and turned her back to him, "I..."

"I know it's difficult for you to leave the place where you grew up, so you don't have to rush to answer me." Anyway, they still have a lot of time.

She can think about it slowly.

"I will definitely find out the cause of my father's death." She suddenly said, without responding directly to his question.

"Okay." He nodded in silence for a while, "When you find out, you can leave with me."

Perhaps his eyes were too firm and filled with endless affection, so hot that she could no longer stay in this palace.

Qingchen turned around and left in a hurry, "...I'm leaving first."

Yue Ji was waiting at the entrance of the palace. As soon as she came out of the entrance of the palace, she took the Tang Pozi in her hand and walked quickly towards Mingyue Palace.

Yue Qinghe didn't call her back, and stared at her leaving back, with a hint of sadness in his dark eyes.

I hope she can no longer be obsessed with the cause of her father's death.

Everyone is destined to die. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to take it lightly?

……

——The only thing I want is you.

His words kept lingering in her mind.

Qingchen sat in the dormitory, holding a medical book in his hand and reading for a long time, but did not turn the page.

She never thought that Yue Qinghe would rather give up the throne and take herself out of the palace and Kyoto city.

He doesn't look like the kind of person without ambition?

How could you think that?

Do not!

Qingchen realized that he was distracted and slapped his head suddenly.

She couldn't let her children's affair be delayed now.

We must find out the cause of my father's death.

She walked to the window sill and called, "Xingxue."

Xingxue walked out of the darkness, "Princess, what are your orders?"

"Come here." She waved to Xingxue.

Although Xingxue was confused, she stepped forward and got closer to Qingchen.

"Can you go to the Queen Mother's Mingshou Hall and search..." She was interrupted by Xingxue before she could finish her words.

"Princess, this is not okay."

"Why?"

"My duty is to protect your safety."

"But you are my secret guard, can't I ask you to do anything even if I want you to?" Then what use does she need this secret guard for?

Xingxue was silent. In fact, the secret guards could not disobey their master's orders.

But the main reason is that the emperor ordered not to do strange things for the princess.

Isn't it strange that the princess allowed herself to go to the Queen Mother's palace?

Refusing the princess's orders may only make the princess unhappy.

But if she disobeys the emperor's order, she may not even be able to protect her life.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time without replying to him, Qingchen guessed what order Yue Qinghe had given her.

She could only wave her hand and said, "Forget it."

Then closed the window.

Xingxue held the sword in her hand and returned to her rightful place with some helplessness.

……

Qingchen refused to give up and couldn't get the answer he wanted from Li Mo.

She stayed in the dormitory all day until midnight, when she put on her night clothes and came out of the Mingyue Palace.

After just a few steps, Xingxue's voice sounded behind her, "Princess..."

She looked back and saw Xingxue standing under the high palace wall, looking at her with a somewhat troubled expression.

"My imperial brother only sent you to protect me, not to monitor me. Just do whatever you need to do and leave me alone!"

As soon as the sound fell, she ran towards the Mingshou Palace.

Xingxue followed and warned, "Princess, if you are dressed like this, if you are discovered by the guards, you will be treated as an assassin and hacked to death with swords."

"Don't scare me." Qingchen turned around and glared at her.

Xingxue frowned slightly, this master was really restless.

What should she do?

Should she go directly to report to the emperor, or should she follow her silently?

Not far ahead was a line of guards patrolling.

Xingxue took a deep breath, stepped forward helplessly, grabbed her arm, and took her directly to hide behind the rockery.

After the guard left, he asked her: "Where does the princess want to go?"

"Go where I asked you to go today and you don't want to go." She said coolly.

The Queen Mother's palace?

Xingxue sighed deeply.

That’s all, it’s unlucky for you to follow such a master.

……

Ran Yu couldn't sleep tonight.

Today, Princess Li came over and brought pastries she made herself. She thought they tasted pretty good and ate a few more pieces.

I don’t know if it’s the problem with the pastries, but I feel like I can’t sleep tonight.

Ran Yu turned over and thought about his son again in his mind.

She had sent someone to keep an eye on Mingyue Palace and learned that in recent days, Yue Qinghe would still come to Mingyue Palace in the middle of the night...

Thinking about this, she couldn't even sleep.

The girl's matter has not been resolved, so there is really no way to sit back and relax.

She frowned, thinking about how to deal with Qingchen, when a hissing sound came from the hall.

Didn’t Nanny Song retire?

Ran Yu's chest felt tight and she just wanted to get up and sit for a while. Through the screen, she saw two black figures in her bedroom.

She was startled and shouted hurriedly: "Who are you?"

Qingchen and Xingxue, who were rummaging for things in the dormitory, probably didn't expect that Ran Yu would be awake on the bed.

Hearing her cry, Xingxue immediately grabbed Qingchen's wrist and tried to jump out of the window.

But Qingchen held on to the dowry beside her and refused to let go.

She was obviously close, as she could not find the wooden box for the dowry.

And the wooden box was still locked.

If there is no secret, why should Ran Yu lock it?

Qingchen thought about it and wanted to hold the wooden box.

"Princess?" Xingxue blurted out these two words in a panic.

It was extremely clear in this silent dormitory.

Ran Yu heard it very clearly, and she immediately shouted outside, "Someone is coming..."

As soon as she screamed, the bedroom door was immediately pushed open, and several slaves poured in.

"The Queen Mother..." As soon as Nanny Song came in, she saw two masked men in black in the palace and immediately screamed, "There are people coming, there are assassins."

Hearing the word "assassin", Xingxue felt something bad and immediately jumped out of the window while pulling Qingchen.

Qingchen was so shocked by her sudden move that he could not hold the wooden box firmly.

As soon as the two people jumped out of the window, a group of guards rushed towards them.

"Queen Mother, are you okay?" Seeing that the guards had arrived, Grandma Song immediately stepped forward to check on her master.

Ran Yu was just about to say it was okay, but unexpectedly he felt a heat in his throat and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.

This frightened Nanny Song, "Quick, Queen Mother, call the imperial doctor..."

……

When Yue Qinghe arrived at Mingshou Hall, Qingchen and Xingxue were already being escorted by guards.

Li Mo was checking Ran Yu's pulse inside, looking not very good.

He looked at Qingchen's tied hands, and his eyes became cold.

"This servant is here to see the Emperor." Nanny Song immediately knelt down and saluted him, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Queen Mother."
