Shen Qingxu looked at Xu Xingyi, who looked like he had been deceived and wronged. He slapped his forehead and remembered that he seemed to have never told him about his life experience.

In this situation, I can't tell him that I came from a book. That's too ridiculous.

"This...I'll explain it to you later, okay?"

Shen Qingxu said vaguely that they had been together for a long time, and suddenly she revealed her identity as the queen's sister. It was understandable that Xu Xingyi couldn't accept it for a while.

Over the years, the two men begged outside and often encountered bad guys who used their power to bully others. They often went hungry and sometimes had to escape from the hands of those powerful people.

She knew that Xu Xingyi hated those powerful people who used their power to oppress others. Although the queen had a good reputation among the people, she was from a prominent family after all. So it was normal for him to have a resistance to his powerful sister and not want to have any contact with her.

But Shen Qiuchi is her only relative in this world. Of course, that bad father is not a relative, and the group of despicable and shameless people in the Shen family are even less relatives.

Her sister has been fighting for revenge and power in the Shen family and the palace for so many years, and now she has reached a high position.

The sister now must want to see her very much, and she also wants to see how the heroine’s sister is doing now.

In addition, out of selfishness, she really didn't want to live a life of wandering and begging anymore. She wanted to cling to her sister, eat and drink the best food, and she wanted to take advantage of her sister's power to get ahead.

After Wen Qiliang ordered his men to kidnap Wan Ku, the carriage coming to pick up Shen Qingxu also slowly drove towards them.

"Miss Shen, let's go back to Beijing. The Queen is still waiting for you in the capital." Wen Qiliang bowed to Shen Qingxu neither humbly nor arrogantly, motioning Shen Qingxu to get on the carriage.

"But, then, what about my friends..." Shen Qingxu was a little embarrassed. She couldn't just leave like this.

She turned to look at Xu Xingyi, hesitated for a moment, and said to Xu Xingyi expectantly: "Xu Xingyi, will you come back with me?"

Although Xu Xingyi is two years older than her, Shen Qingxu has grown up with him. Over the years, Shen Qingxu has regarded Xu Xingyi as her brother. To Shen Qingxu, he has long been her own relative, so she naturally does not want to be separated from him.

Xu Xingyi was stunned, then understood what Shen Qingxu meant. He took two steps back and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Qingxu, I can't go to the capital with you, I still..."

Until now, Xu Xingyi still didn't want to accept this matter, and coupled with his own resistance to the powerful, he subconsciously refused.

Shen Qingxu didn't expect him to refuse, so she hurried over to pull at his clothes, and patiently persuaded him: "Xu Xingyi, we grew up together, and you are also my relative. Sister must want you to go to the capital with me. Maybe you can live in the palace and show off your power every day. Now I have a sister and a brother, don't mention how happy I am!"

He sighed and said, "Silly child, the palace is not as beautiful as you think. The wealth and prosperity are just superficial. If you go there, you will probably be gnawed to the bone. And you still want to show off in front of those ruthless dignitaries. Do you think your life is too long?"

"What am I afraid of? My sister is here, so who dares to bully me?" The empress, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, is protected by masters of palace fighting, house fighting, and political intrigue. What is there to be afraid of?

"It's impossible for the Queen to pay attention to your safety at all times. What's more, Master hasn't come back yet. If he comes back and finds that the two of us are missing, he will be anxious."

When Shen Qingxu heard what Old Man Tianji said, he also hesitated.

After a moment, she suddenly remembered that the old man in the storybook was her sister's master, and Xu Xingyi was the old man's disciple.

"Sister must know where the master is. Then I can ask her to bring him to the palace." Shen Qingxu thought of her clever brain.

Best of both worlds!

"How did your sister know?"

"You know you have a senior sister, right?"

"Ok!"

"The senior sister you have never met, the senior sister who is out there making her way, is my sister, the current Empress!"

"......" Xu Xingyi looked like he had swallowed a duck egg.

"So, you come with me to the capital, and then we can talk to my sister and ask her to bring grandpa over. Besides, how can you protect me if you don't go to the capital?" Shen Qingxu's cheeks were like a flower bud about to bloom, she was extremely ignorant and naive. Xu Xingyi was a little confused for some reason.

Xu Xingyi thought for a while. Even if he was against the palace, he couldn't say no again when he thought of Shen Qingxu's words and his senior sister whom he had never met.

She was right. He was worried that Shen Qingxu would be bullied in the palace. The power struggles in the palace were so fierce. He was worried that Shen Qingxu would not be by his side. He had to accompany her and protect her.

After the old man escaped, he is now in some corner. The two of them are like headless flies and can't find him at all.

Every time he relies on the little cat-and-mouse clues deliberately thrown out by the damn old man, how can he ever find the old man? It would be better to go to the palace. Maybe the so-called senior sister knows where the old man is!

"Okay, then let's go to the capital together. If you are bullied there, I will take you away immediately."

"Yeah, you are the most reasonable." Shen Qingxu smiled and got into the carriage with Xu Xingyi.

Everyone set out on the journey back to Beijing.
