Qiu Ling finally began to tremble in his heart. He finally understood what the queen meant. Wasn't this just to send a hostage to let her get away? As a mother, how cruel! No wonder the emperor was on guard against her. This person could even use and abandon his own son, and she still talked about looking for the royal court. It was really nonsense!

The emperor probably didn't expect that she would abandon her son and leave, so he ordered that her life should not be harmed. Otherwise, according to his mind, he must get rid of this vicious woman as soon as possible. How could she be worthy of being the queen mother! And there was also someone saying that the child in the carriage was a miracle doctor, and he must take care of the little prince?

Nonsense!

After Qiu Ling came back, he began to interrogate the child, but no matter how he was asked, he insisted that he was a doctor and was hired at a high price to take care of the child. Qiu Ling had no choice but to throw him into the dungeon and have someone watch over him, waiting for the emperor's final instructions.

The "vicious woman" in Qiu Ling's eyes was now riding a maroon wild horse and galloping in the still dark Gobi Desert. In front of her was a masked figure who was also riding a horse.

Xu Yixing had not expected that the Shadow Guard's method of escaping was so elaborate. After she connected Bai Yuan with her grandfather, she immediately realized that this was a naked test. Lu Anyuan had placed himself in the garden to see if the Shadow Guard would leave if he came to rescue him.

But... this premise is that he is still alive, right? Lu Anyuan couldn't have designed a message that he was dead, and then tested whether I would "be a widow" for him, because that would be meaningless. So what happened that led to me receiving the news that he was dead? No matter what, I have to go to the royal court and see it with my own eyes, so that I can feel at ease!

So Xu Yixing thought it through and decided to abandon the car and leave, leaving Xiaobao and Ying Si behind. He thought that when the pursuers saw the little prince, they would know that he did not escape, but just had something to do.

Yingyi had made a detailed plan for their escape, and even prepared a group of wild horses from somewhere, but if you look closely, you can tell that some of the horses don't look so "wild". This is the horse the two are riding now, and it's fortunate that Yingyi prepared enough, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to find a suitable mount.

Xu Yixing kept chasing after the location of the royal court according to what Yingba had told him. He felt uneasy. After all, the royal court was not like a house and it was fixed. If it had been moved away, he would have no direction to move forward.

"Whoa!" At noon, Xu Yixing had been running wildly with Yingyi for twelve hours, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts by the wind. Unfortunately, she didn't care about the horse's twitching and her own discomfort, because the scene in front of her was enough to scare her.

"This..." Xu Yixing jumped off his horse and half-crouched forward a few steps. It snowed heavily overnight, and the withered yellow grass in front of him was not only covered with snow, but also with corpses lying on the ground. Judging from their clothing, they were the Miaozhou garrison troops who left ten days ago.

Ying Yi jumped off the horse, stretched his arms and legs, squatted on the ground to check, and shook his head: "Master, these should be our Great Xia's border troops. There must have been a fierce battle here."

He didn't need to say anything, just looking at these corpses one could imagine how tragic the war was.

"There are at least two thousand people here. Could they be the vanguard we sent out?" There were corpses everywhere but no horses. It was obvious that these were not the cavalry who were going to fight the Western Hu people, but a group of people who were exploring the way or carrying out encirclement and ambush missions.

"Perhaps this is what the news Yingba brought meant. The emperor personally led people to investigate, but they were ambushed by Wang Ting Khan." Yingyi stood up and looked into the distance, deducing a possibility that fits the current situation.

Xu Yixing did not give up. He carefully examined the wounds of these people. Indeed, most of them were hacked to death by swords, and there were also traces of being trampled by horses' hooves, which was consistent with the weapons and combat methods of the Hu people.

"But if the emperor really led people on a mission, there must be support and people to look for him. How could he just leave these bodies here?" The snow was deep, and Xu Yixing couldn't find any specific people among the pile of corpses for a while. He could only reluctantly express his guess.

Ying Yi did not respond. It was indeed a bit strange. The ground was littered with corpses of the Daxia army, but there were no casualties among the Hu people. This battlefield was indeed very strange.

"Master, come and see!" Ying Yi suddenly shouted, and Xu Yixing staggered with fright. He hurriedly chose a place to step and rushed to his side with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Ying Yi was staring at a corpse that was a little different. Although that person was also buried in the snow, a bright yellow color was revealed under his armor, a color that only the emperor could wear.

"This..." Xu Yixing couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a thud. He used both hands to scrape the snow off the body, trying to see it more clearly. Unfortunately, even after brushing off the snow, the face was still a little shattered. The ice and blood had frozen it into a barely recognizable ice lump, not to mention the knife wounds all over the body, so it was impossible to tell the face.

"Master, please look carefully, is it our one?" Ying Yiben should not have doubted. As soon as he saw the stature and skeleton, he could tell that it was the emperor. However, there are too many things in the world that can be faked, not to mention such a strange battlefield.

Xu Yixing struggled to pry open the armor that had merged with her robe, and looked at the chest of the corpse. The small mole jumped out at her eyes, which instantly broke her emotions and made her burst into tears.

Sometimes when I wanted to be naughty, I would bite the small mark on his chest. Lu Anyuan would just laugh because of the itch. Sometimes, when it really hurt him, he would reach out and push my head away, and then cover his lips more fiercely. It was really a pleasure in the boudoir. But we will see each other again today. . . Xu Yixing's head was buzzing, and he felt that his heart was hit several times, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, Yingyi pried open her jaw and stuffed two pills into her, which took her a long time to recover from falling down.

"Yingyi, this is not right, not right. Unless it was an ambush, if the Hu people wanted to wipe out all of our soldiers, they would definitely be seriously injured. But you see, there is not a single Hu corpse here, and this place is flat and there is no place to hide. How could they ambush here? This is not right..."

Xu Yixing took off the scarf on her face and gulped down cold air into her lungs. Only then did she feel a little more awake. However, her chest began to cough violently due to the stimulation, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Yingyi quickly covered her face with the scarf again, took out a small kumquat and stuffed it into her mouth to stop her coughing.

"What you said makes sense, but is this man the emperor?"

"It doesn't matter. You strange people are used to lying and covering up the truth. Can you tell the truth from the false?"
