Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

After Xingxue left the Western Capital City, she did not go east. Instead, we set off in the south direction, so we made a long circle and took more than two months to return to Dongming Country.

When standing in the main hall of the imperial study room of the Dongming Kingdom Palace, Xingxue's mood was hard to express in words.

"I see you, Your Majesty." Xingxue knelt down in the palace regardless of how tired she was.

"Get up." Yue Qinghe heard Zhong Shui come to report that Xingxue was back. He didn't believe it at first, but when she really stood in front of him.

Yue Qinghe suddenly panicked. He quickly stood up and walked towards Xingxue, "Why did you come back to Dongming Country? Where is the princess when you come back? Did something happen to her?"

"Your Majesty." Xingxue glanced at the other servants in the palace, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Yue Qinghe immediately understood, "You guys retreat first."

Upon hearing this, the servants in the palace exited the imperial study room one after another.

After seeing all the slaves in the palace retreat, Xingxue took out the formula that she had always valued more than her life, and there were some seeds in it.

"Your Majesty, this is the purple sand research formula that the princess found in the King's Palace of Xihe, as well as the seeds of a rare herb." Xingxue took a deep breath, "The princess finally found it. The emperor can let Mr. Li develop the purple sand. "

In this way, there is no need to rely on the antidote sent by Xiga Kingdom to bring the princess back.

"Where's the princess?" When Yue Qinghe heard this, her tall body trembled. She only glanced at the formula in her hand, and then cast her deep eyes on Xingxue's face, trying to get something from her expression. Knowing Yue Qingchen's safety at this time.

Xingxue knew that it took him more than two months to return to Dongming Country.

Qingmu and Yue Qingchen originally wanted to return to Dongming Country by water. If he had returned to Dongming Country and they had not come back yet.

It's probably a bad day.

Thinking of this, Xingxue could only tell all the original plans of the three of them.

"Aoki found a disguise master and paid a high price to let her enter the palace and disguise herself as a princess. While His Majesty Nishiga was out of the palace to deal with He Lanxuan's rebellion, he changed the princess out of the palace. His subordinates originally suggested that the three of them go together. Leave, but the princess disagreed and ordered her subordinates to go south with the purple sand formula and seeds."

A trace of worry flashed across Xingxue's eyes, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "My subordinates thought that Qingmu's martial arts was better than mine, so it would be no problem to protect the princess alone, so he separated from them and returned to Dongming Country. But he didn't listen to anything on the way back. I told you about the disappearance of the Queen of the King of Xihe Kingdom. I thought that maybe the disguised person deceived His Majesty the King of Xihe Kingdom, but when I returned to Dongming Kingdom today, I learned that the princess and Aoki have not returned yet. Your Majesty..."

She knelt on the ground again, "This subordinate should be damned for failing to protect the princess properly."

Yue Qinghe felt an inexplicable suffocation in his chest, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart. He clenched his fists, his eyes red, "How did the princess learn about the purple sand?"

Xingxue hesitated for a moment before replying: "Yes... my subordinate told the princess to listen."

Yue Qinghe could tell at a glance that she was lying, "You were in prison during the days when the Queen Mother was poisoned, and you had no idea what kind of poison the Queen Mother was poisoned with. Xingxue, do you know what the crime of deceiving the emperor is?"

"Your Majesty..." Xingxue frowned. Now that Qingmu and the princess are still alive, how can she put all the blame on Qingmu?

"Your Majesty." Zhong Shui heard the whole incident and naturally guessed that it was Qingmu. In order to protect the person in front of him, he could only kneel in front of Yue Qinghe, "This matter should be Qingmu told the princess, but Qingmu also only wanted to rescue the princess as soon as possible and had no other ill intentions. Your Majesty, please see that Qingmu and Xingxue are loyal to protect the Lord, do not blame them..."

"Protect the Lord?" Yue Qinghe's handsome face was cold, and a murderous intent flashed across his black eyes, "Now that the princess is alive and dead, you tell me that they will protect the Lord!"

Yue Qinghe walked to the table and couldn't restrain his temper. He swept all the memorials on the table to the ground and shouted angrily: "What I need is not the purple sand formula. I want the princess to be safe. Before you marry the princess, , promised me that I would protect her with my life, but where is the princess now?"

So this is why he ordered not to let anyone tell Yue Qingchen that the Queen Mother's poisoning was related to Xihe Kingdom.

I was afraid that she would act without authorization and lose her life.

But none of his subordinates are worry-free!

Xingxue lowered her face and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

Zhong Shui wanted to say something else, but she stopped him.

Yue Qinghe walked back and forth in the palace, thinking that it was useless to hold them accountable now. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Zhongshui, you sent someone to the King Xihe Palace to find out about the princess. It must be quick.”

"Yes, I will take care of it immediately." Zhong Shui agreed, stood up and left the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate... I failed to protect the princess, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

Hearing this, Yue Qinghe frowned slightly and opened his mouth to say something, but he still swallowed it.

"That's all, go back and have a good rest first. I have something else for you to do later."

I believe that when Yue Qingchen comes back, she doesn't want her to punish her like this.

Xingxue looked up at the master in the palace in disbelief, unable to believe that he would let her go like this...

"Why don't you kneel down and thank the Emperor?" Zhong Shui, who had not left at the door, heard this and saw that Xing Xue, who was kneeling in the hall, did not respond, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her.

"I thank the Emperor for not killing me." Xingxue thanked him and was pulled out of the imperial study by Zhong Shui.

Yue Qinghe looked at the purple sand formula left by Xingxue and felt her chest feel tight.

A wry smile appeared on his handsome face.

He really didn't need her to do this. He just wanted to stay unscathed in King Xiga's palace and wait for him to take her away safely.

Why does she still have to do so many things?

Maybe he was wrong from the beginning.

At first he really wanted to let go...

Because of their identities, they are destined to be unable to be together openly.

If it was really good for her, maybe He Lanyan could give her happiness.

But after experiencing the incident in Beibing Country, he discovered that she didn't love He Lanyan, and she wouldn't be happy if he just pushed her to He Lanyan.

After returning from the Arctic Kingdom, he began to plan his abdication.

There was no choice but to choose the second child, and now he was focusing on cultivating the second child.

After the queen mother has been poisoned for a year, she will be able to take her away from Xihe Country.

But she didn't expect that she would know about Zisha and join forces with Qingmu and Xingxue to take action without authorization.

Now, he only hopes that she is safe. He Lanyan has her in his heart, so he will not hurt her...

But Yue Qinghe couldn't feel at ease without getting any accurate news.

Yue Qinghe looked at the purple sand formula and sighed deeply, and murmured in a low voice: "Qingchen, please don't let anything happen to you."
