The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

After the two of them packed their bags, Zhu Li and Xiong Fei also returned.

They told the people that they were going back to Beijing today. The people thanked them for getting rid of the scourge Qu Zhengyan, and also remembered Lu Xiuyuan's life-saving grace, so they gathered outside the inn to see them off.

"Very good, then let's go now." Lu Xiuyuan said and went to the bed to get his bag.

"Your Highness," Zhu Li called him, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "Just now when I went downstairs, I met someone from the capital. They asked me to write a letter and give it to Your Highness."

A letter from the capital? Lu Xiuyuan had a bad feeling and took the envelope and opened it to read.

As his eyes swept across, his expression gradually became ugly.

"What's wrong? Whose letter is it from?" Seeing that he looked unhappy, Xia Younan frowned worriedly.

Lu Xiuyuan folded the letter again, looked at her and said in a deep voice: "If the fake play becomes real, we have to return to Beijing immediately!"

"Ah?" Xia Younan exclaimed, "What happened in the capital?"

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head. "This letter was written by Lu Shian. He only said that something happened in the capital and the situation was very serious. He asked us to return to the capital as soon as possible to report."

"But..." Xia Younan panicked. The martial arts conference was about to start. If they went back, what would happen to Xiaoyou?

"You guys go back." Just as she thought of this, she saw Qu Xiaoyou, Chan Mu and others walking in.

Qu Xiaoyou said: "The emperor wrote to me personally, which means it must be a big deal. You should return to Beijing quickly and don't worry about me."

"How can that be possible? Qu Zhengyan is so cunning, how can we trust you?" Xia Younan frowned.

Qu Xiaoyou consoled him, "In the past month, my martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle. Even if I can't kill Qu Zhengyan, I can save my life. You don't have to worry about me. Let's go back to Beijing without delay."

"But it's easy to avoid an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden attack. He is so cunning..." Xia Younan was still worried.

At this time, Chanmu stood up and said to her, "Junior sister, you and the prince should go back to the capital together. I will stay here to protect Miss Qu."

Xia Younan looked at him with joy in her heart, and after discussing with Lu Xiuyuan, they decided to do so.

Zenmu has profound kung fu skills, so Qu Xiaoyou and the others can rest assured knowing he is protecting them.

It was agreed that Chanmu and Qu Xiaoyou stayed to attend the martial arts conference, while Lu Xiuyuan and his wife took Chanen, Zhu Li, Xiongfei, and Chen Yi and his mother back to the capital.

Many people had gathered outside the inn. Some of them were holding fruits and eggs; some were holding various gifts; some even held two strings of firecrackers, looking forward to Lu Xiuyuan and others coming down.

As soon as they saw Lu Xiuyuan and his companions coming downstairs, they swarmed over them, expressing their gratitude and stuffing the gifts in their hands into their hands with great enthusiasm.

Xia Younan couldn't help but feel secretly delighted when seeing this scene, thinking that the momentum was great enough and there would be no problem that Qu Zhengyan wouldn't be able to see it.

Several fast horses had been prepared outside. After exchanging pleasantries with the common people, several people mounted their horses one after another.

They did not rush to ride faster, but allowed the people to crowd around them and rush towards the city gate in a lively manner.

Perhaps because the martial arts conference is approaching, Liuyue City is now more prosperous and lively than ever before.

There were many people carrying bags and speaking with foreign accents on the street, and many inns on the street had hung up "Full House" signs.

Obviously, these people came for this martial arts conference.

The people sent Lu Xiuyuan and others to the outside of the city gate, and then stopped reluctantly.

"Your Highness, there will be a martial arts conference in the city soon. It will be a lively time. Why don't you watch the conference before leaving?"

Some people asked.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and replied, "I also want to see the martial arts conference, but I suddenly received a letter from the emperor this morning saying that there is an urgent matter in the capital and I need to go back, so I can't stay any longer."

"So that's how it is. Your Majesty, have a safe trip. You are welcome to come to Liuyue City again if you have the chance."

"Thank you, I'll come again if I have the chance." Lu Xiuyuan responded and looked at his companions, "Let's go."

Xia Younan nodded, and worriedly gave many instructions to Zenmu who came to see her off, asking him to protect Xiaoyou well and bring her back to the capital safely after the mission was done.

Zenmu agreed repeatedly and reassured them.

"We are leaving! Goodbye, people!" Xia Younan waved to the people and shouted loudly on purpose.

"Farewell, Prince and Princess!" Hundreds of people knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Two other civilians lit firecrackers to see them off.

Accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers, Lu Xiuyuan and others rode away and soon disappeared.

On the eve of the martial arts conference, the moon was very big and round, and the silver-like moonlight spread all over the earth like a soft net. All the scenery was shrouded in it, with vague and illusory colors.

Everything looks so quiet and peaceful.

Moonlight leaked under the tree, sparse as the remaining snow. Qu Xiaoyou sat alone under the tree in the backyard of the inn, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was filled with worries.

"why are not you sleeping?"

A clean and pleasant voice was heard, and then a cloak appeared on her shoulders.

Qu Xiaoyou turned around and saw Zenmu appear behind her at some point.

"Thank you." She pulled the cloak on her shoulders and thanked him, then turned her head and continued to look up at the moon in the sky. "I can't sleep."

Zenmu also sat on the ground and asked, "Are you worried about tomorrow's competition?"

Qu Xiaoyou lowered her eyes slightly, "Yeah."

Zenmu patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm here, I'll help you if you need me."

Qu Xiaoyou raised her head and looked at him, and said with relief: "Thank you, I am very touched that you can take the initiative to stay with me."

Chanmu didn't say anything. In fact, he understood that Qu Xiaoyou was not just worried about winning or losing. What really made her suffer was the contradictory relationship between her and Qu Zhengyan.

In her previous consciousness, Qu Zhengyan had loved her for more than ten years and was her only relative in this world.

After learning the truth, she resented and hated him, but how could the feelings of more than ten years disappear in a short time?

If she didn't kill him, her mother and brother would not be able to rest in peace; if she killed him, he was her father...

She was so devastated and hopeless, but she didn't cry or shed a single tear. The overwhelming pain was piling up in her heart, how could she hold on?

Zenmu's brows twisted into a knot, and he looked at her with reluctance and advised: "I can't understand your feelings. I know you are in pain and sad. If you really can't bear it, just cry.

"Have a good cry, let out all the grievances and pain in your heart, I will accompany you."

Qu Xiaoyou looked at him, her lips trembling a few times, but she finally held back her tears, turned her head, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, no."

Zenmu pursed his lips and looked at her, sighed, and said nothing more.

He stayed with her like this until the early morning, when she was too sleepy to hold on any longer. He then sent her back to her room and went to rest himself.
