It was almost dusk when Mo You hurried back with Yun Ya.

Yun Ya's usually steady and calm face was filled with worry and nervousness. She passed Mo You in front of her and walked quickly towards Su Jingning.

"Miss!"

She hurriedly walked up to Su Jingning and examined him carefully before she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he knelt down towards Su Jingning with a plop:

"Yun Ya failed to protect her master and put the young lady in danger. Please punish her."

Su Jingning looked at Yun Ya, who was full of shame, and reached out to help her up, smiling, and said softly:

"Alright, get up quickly. I'm fine now. Why should I punish you for this?"

"But I heard that the young lady fell off Qingfeng Cliff. Qingfeng Cliff is so high. The young lady really didn't..."

There was fear in Yun Ya's eyes. She had heard that the young lady and the Prince of Beiyang had fallen off the Qingfeng Cliff together. The cliff was bottomless and too scary. She was still a little worried, so she asked. However, her words stopped the moment her fingertips touched Su Jingning's wrist.

Yun Ya felt the abnormality in Su Jingning's veins with her fingertips, and her expression changed drastically.

The lady used her inner strength! !

"Miss! What's wrong with you..." She was about to ask what was going on when Su Jingning held her down.

She glanced at Gu Yan'an and saw that he was talking to Mo You and didn't notice her, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Ya was led out of the main room by Su Jingning with a puzzled look on her face. Su Jingning followed her all the way, full of worry.

It was not until he returned to Su Jingning's house that he asked the question in his mind.

"Miss, did you use your internal energy?" Yun Ya looked serious, with worry in her eyes, and her usually gentle face was filled with anxiety.

The young lady's master sealed the young lady's inner strength himself, and that can never be released.

Su Jingning looked calm and nodded: "Something happened yesterday, but it's resolved."

Yun Ya, who was always steady, suddenly panicked, with self-blame in her eyes: "It's all my fault. The young lady can't use her inner strength, and I shouldn't have left her. You must remember not to use your inner strength again. I'm going to find Master Shaoyuan now!"

Yun Ya said this and was about to walk out in a hurry.

"and many more!"

Su Jingning called her, walked to her side, stretched out his hand, and said softly:

"How come you've learned Yun Qing's impatience? You don't even let me finish my words. I've already said I'm fine! Look how anxious you are. If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."

Yun Ya glanced at Su Jingning, the worry in her eyes had not diminished. Seeing that Su Jingning looked normal and there was no sign of the cold poison attacking, she took her hand half-believingly and examined it carefully.

The young lady's pulse is stable and normal, and there is no sign of cold poison attack.

How is this going? !

Didn't Master Shaoyuan say that the young lady must never use her internal force again? The technique that the young lady cultivates is different from that of ordinary people. The Frost Seal that she cultivates is the strongest internal technique, but this technique is extremely cold and overbearing, and it is not easy to control. Ordinary people cannot practice it at all. The young lady originally cultivated this technique because the Frost Seal can restrain the cold poison in the young lady's body. The Frost Seal and the cold poison restrain each other, not only controlling the young lady's cold poison, but also helping the young lady to refine the Frost Seal to the highest level.

But two years ago, the young lady's hidden meridian was damaged, and the Frost Seal suddenly went out of control, merging with the cold poison in the young lady's body. The young lady almost went insane and nearly lost her life.

Fortunately, the young lady's master sealed her hidden meridians, which controlled the cold poison in her body. After that, the young lady could no longer use her internal force. Shao Yuanzhu also specifically told her not to let her use her internal force. Once the seal was broken, the young lady would use her internal force and the cold would flare up, and the pain after the flare-up would be several times greater than before.

Yun Ya looked at Su Jingning with confusion in her eyes: "Miss, what's going on?"

Su Jingning withdrew his hand, closed his eyes, and shook his head:

"I'm not sure, but this Frost Seal seems to have softened after being sealed for two years, and is not as overbearing as before. My cold syndrome is not showing any signs of flaring up. If anything really happens, I still have the Mysterious Snow Pill that Senior Brother gave me."

She paused and continued, "Don't mention this to anyone yet."

Yun Ya nodded, and the worry in her eyes gradually faded. She would naturally obey the young lady's instructions.

Su Jingning looked at Yun Ya and said in a deep voice:

"Right now, I have more important things for you to do."

Two days later, in Liangjiang City in the eastern border.

Liangjiang City is the most accessible city in the East Territory among the thirteen cities in terms of water transportation. The Liangjiang River runs through the city and can reach the Baizhang Grand Canal. The Liangjiang River is the most important river in the eastern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Liangjiang City is also the closest city to the Imperial Capital among the thirteen cities in the East Territory.

After the Queen Mother left Qingzhou, she was escorted by the Netherworld Guards all the way north by boat, and then traveled by land to Liangjiang City.

Above Liangjiang River, several magnificent ships hundreds of feet high, flying the flags of the Mu royal family, slowly sailed into Liangjiang City, looking majestic and showing the royal dignity.

There were many people standing at the ferry crossing of Liangjiang City. Chen Xu and a group of soldiers stood on the shore, waiting for the ship to dock.

On the imperial ship, the Netherworld Guards, wearing dark iron armor and wearing Rakshasa masks, were guarding the ship closely.

Bai Lan stood at the bow of the boat, raised his eyes and looked towards the shore. After looking for a while, he retracted his gaze and turned to go into the cabin.

"My lady, we have entered Liangjiang City and the ship is about to dock."

She walked into the cabin, bent down slightly, and softly woke up the empress dowager who was resting on the pear blossom carved couch behind the bird screen.

The empress dowager raised her eyes when she heard that, and Shen Zhiyi, who was serving beside her, immediately stepped forward and gently helped her up.

She rubbed her forehead lightly, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

She sat up, waved her hand, and asked Shen Zhiyi to leave.

Shen Zhi saw this, lowered his eyes and walked out.

"Well, is everything arranged on board?"

"I have made all the arrangements, don't worry, Madam."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "I have always been confident in your work."

Then he looked at the guard and asked:

"Where is the Dark Ghost?"

"My lady, the Nether Envoy is waiting outside the boat."

When Bai Lan saw the Queen Mother was about to stand up, he stepped forward to support her and bowed his head.

"He can be on the boat."

The Queen Mother nodded, helped Bai Lan out of the cabin, and walked to the sandalwood phoenix-carved main seat on the deck before letting go of Bai Lan and slowly sitting down.

The boat gradually approached the shore and slowly stopped.

The Queen Mother looked up at the crowd on the shore. Her cloudy eyes were calm, full of calculations and ambitions. She had no intention of getting off the boat.

Shen Zhiyi stood in the distance and watched them. His eyes were cyan, and he looked a little haggard and absent-minded.

The Queen Mother killed Gu Yan'an. She didn't want to believe it at first, but she asked everyone present that day, and they all said that Gu Yan'an was dead. The proud and talented Prince of Beiyang was really dead.

He was such a dazzling person, how could the Queen Mother kill him! She had resentment and hatred in her heart, but she could not do anything because she was a member of the Shen family.

She knew what the Queen Mother was going to do today. Although they kept it from her, she understood when the Queen Mother asked her to take Chen Sisi to the boat and take another route.

The Queen Mother was afraid that Chen Xu would go back on his word and betray his agreement with her, so she used Chen Sisi as a threat to force Chen Xu to do as she asked.

Everything that happened today was just a trap set by the Queen Mother for the military power in the East Territory. The Queen Mother had a careful plan, so even if Chen Xu had some thoughts, he couldn't do anything. Her Shen family would still stand firmly at the center of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she was not happy at all.
