Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 169 The wind is rustling and the water is cold

The capital's luxurious gate.

As the coronation ceremony is approaching, all the guards in front of the gate have been replaced by the Imperial Guards, who are strictly checking all kinds of people entering the capital.

The big red lantern that had just been hung in front of the flashy door danced lightly in the wind, and a few snowflakes piled on the lantern fell down.

The guards' armor and weapons were frozen stiff, their hands holding the hilts were red, and they stared through the snow at the various people entering the capital.

The imperial guards were also human beings, so they were bound to feel some resentment. Fortunately, their salary was three times the usual amount. However, some people still whispered, "Who would be so bold as to mess up the coronation ceremony?"

Several imperial guards standing behind the city gate, who were only responsible for guarding and not for reviewing, had nothing to do, so they answered, "This is Taixuan Palace Master Xiao Yuanmu."

"She is a traitor. It is possible that she killed the crown prince, but what about the Rong clan's national teacher?"

"I heard that he was seriously injured and almost died... And to put it another way, even if he was in good condition and came to kill the prince, it would be useless to the battle situation. The Rong tribe couldn't break in anyway, so why would he come and die?"

"That's right. We are conducting such a strict investigation, but we don't know who we are guarding against. Isn't the prince being too cautious..."

This was something that couldn't be said carelessly, so someone lightly kicked the young man and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Zhao Wumian killed a eunuch in front of this gate in front of everyone and rushed out of the capital. Recently, I heard that he went to Jin and killed another 2,000 Rong cavalrymen."

This is actually a rumor. Zhao Wumian did not really kill all the 2,000 Rong people because his physical strength did not allow it... But it is normal for such a record to change as it is passed on.

"He is truly a hero of our generation. Although I don't know why he went to the palace to assassinate the queen, I admire him as a man just for resisting the Rong people."

"Yesterday, the palace issued another order to capture Zhao Wumian alive for the queen... I hope he won't come to the capital."

"No one who can make a name for himself in the martial arts world is a mediocre person... Zhao Wumian is definitely not stupid. He would not come to the capital to die. Unless he follows the princess to the capital, the queen will probably not kill him for the princess's sake..."

While several imperial guards were chatting, they heard the crisp sound of horse hooves and looked in the direction of the sound.

A man in a green shirt with bamboo patterns and a luxurious fox fur coat came walking on the snow, leading a pure white horse. He was wearing a bamboo hat and his face could not be seen clearly, but from his demeanor, posture, and the sword slung across his waist, he must be a swordsman.

It’s this horse... it’s really handsome. Could it be one of the less than twenty thousand-mile horses in Dali?
The guard thought to himself, but his hands did not slow down at all, and stopped him, "The pass... The coronation ceremony is being held in the capital at this moment, and you need to show your face to us, please cooperate."

"The coronation ceremony?" The swordsman in the bamboo hat was slightly stunned, then he smiled carefreely, "That would save trouble."

The guard frowned and repeated, "Road pass, take off your hat."

"My pass is not formal, so I won't show it to you..." The swordsman raised his little face, lifted his bamboo hat slightly, revealing his face, and smiled faintly, "Zhao Wumian... can he enter the capital?"

Upon hearing this, the people waiting in line to enter the capital and the other guards looked at them in surprise and disbelief.

When Zhao Wumian broke into the palace, he was disguised by Empress Canghua, and the wanted poster was drawn by the Detective Department, so judging from his face alone... actually few people recognized him.

Zhao Wumian looked at the guard with a slightly amused expression.

He used to wear a bamboo hat wherever he went, for fear of being recognized. Now he has openly announced his identity, but no one dares to recognize him.

But someone recognized the horse he was leading and exclaimed in a low voice: "Ghost King's Jade Lion of the Night... He rode this horse to rescue the Prince of Jin from the execution ground years ago."

"It seems that Zhao Wumian has also been to Taiyuan and killed Gui Shou Zhenren..."

"Wuhen swung his sword, and a thousand-mile-long horse..." Someone murmured, "Is it really Zhao Wumian?"

Someone looked at Zhao Wumian with horror in his eyes, took a few steps back, then quickly turned around, used his lightness skills, and flew towards the direction of the Forbidden City.

Zhao Wumian withdrew his gaze from the man's back, and then looked at the guards blocking his way, smiling slightly, "With my identity, can I enter the capital?"

Gulu.

Someone swallowed his saliva, and his rough palm holding the sword trembled slightly. Then he made way without saying a word.

Seizing a horse in the street, assassinating the queen, breaking into the capital at night, fighting against cavalry alone, being shot and killed on the way back... No matter which one of them is mentioned, it is a heroic act that no one dares to deny.

The most important thing is that Zhao Wumian was the one who escorted the princess back to the capital... Now that the prince has ascended the throne, all Zhao Wumian's previous efforts have been in vain. Politically speaking, Zhao Wumian and the prince should be considered political enemies, but in the eyes of the world, Zhao Wumian is not qualified...

The succession of Crown Prince Luo Shuzhi was in accordance with etiquette and law, and was fair and just. The king's power was granted by God, and the whole world recognized it... How could Zhao Wumian have the capital to compete with Luo Shuzhi? Luo Chaoyan's arrival was almost the same.

They are not on the same level at all.

Moreover, the fact that he single-handedly fought against the cavalry was considered by the people of the capital to be equivalent to the demerit of "assassinating the queen".

At this moment of the coronation ceremony, Zhao Wumian suddenly returned to the capital. Although it seemed strange, Zhao Wumian's immediate superior Luo Chaoyan had gone to Jin to resist the Rong people. What else could Zhao Wumian do to harm Dali?
So what else can you do to control what other people do when they come to Beijing?
Eat carrots and worry less.

The hero who fought against the Rong people is now returning to the capital. Selfishly speaking, no one wants to turn him away.

Seeing the imperial guards making way for him, Zhao Wumian smiled calmly again, led his horse, and walked into the city.

The snow is drifting heavily, and the snow curtain is piling up layer by layer.

Every household on both sides of the street hung red lanterns and posted red couplets, and in the corners of the street there was piled up firecracker debris that had not yet been cleaned up.

Mu Lier, Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu did not enter the capital through the same gate as Zhao Wumian... they all had their own things to do.

So at this moment there is only Zhao Wumian.

One man, one horse, one sword.

The guards at the city gate followed Zhao Wumian's gaze, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street also looked horrified when they heard the noise at the city gate.

However, Zhao Wumian had, after all, broken into the palace to assassinate the empress. Even if the common people thought his merits and demerits offset each other, the court obviously did not think so. So, if Zhao Wumian entered the capital now, wouldn't he still be courting his death?

The common people had no idea why Zhao Wumian had come to the capital so openly, but faced with the man who had caused great upheaval in the past month, they could not help but make way for him, saying nothing, looking at him with expressions of astonishment, shock, confusion, mockery, or pity.

I want to see what this most famous figure in the world wants to do when he comes to Beijing.

After the New Year, it should have been lively and festive, but now it seems quiet and eerie because of Zhao Wumian alone.

Some young children were holding tinder and firecrackers in their hands, with runny noses, looking at their adults in confusion, and then they lit firecrackers and played by themselves.

Bang bang bang——————

The crisp sound of firecrackers rang out one after another on the quiet street.

As the firecrackers started to sound, someone couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Thief! I'll take you to the palace to apologize to the queen!!!"

A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the crowd, holding a sharp sword with a cold light flashing.

Choke————

A knife light as clear as the autumn sky suddenly lit up in the snow on the street, and it was like the sun and the moon, passing by the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The people on the street didn't see what happened at all. They just saw blood splattering and the man collapsed to the ground with a thud. Blood gushed out from his chest. Zhao Wumian lightly waved his sword to wipe away the blood and then sheathed the sword cleanly.

Zhao Wumian didn't even look at the man and continued walking forward, leading the horse.

The streets were left deserted.

No matter what the purpose was, there were definitely a lot of people who wanted Zhao Wumian's head. After Zhao Wumian took a few steps, someone rushed forward, but in the end they could only collapse powerlessly to the ground.

Zhao Wumian walked two streets and saw a group of people lying scattered on the streets.

With Zhao Wumian's current strength, no one can do anything to him unless Wu Kui shows up.

The people on the street were dazzled, but they couldn't help thinking in their hearts: "He who seizes a horse in the street, assassinates the queen, breaks into the capital at night, fights off the cavalry alone, and is shot and killed on his way back to defend the city, this is what he should do."

Until on the eaves of a building, Eunuch Lin, dressed in a red official uniform, stood with his hands behind his back, his dry fingers hooked, and looked indifferently at Zhao Wumian on the street in the distance.

There was no wind behind him, and the snow curtain fluttered gently. Someone whispered, "Eunuch Lin, if we start a fight on the street, it will only cause the tragic deaths of innocent people. It will only damage the people's hearts and prestige of your master."

Eunuch Lin narrowed his eyes and looked back.

Xu Ran, dressed in black, stood on the eaves, looking at him calmly, and said, "I know a secluded place, do you have the courage to follow me?"

Eunuch Lin glanced back at Zhao Wumian, then looked at Xu Ran with a smile on his face, "How many people did Zhao Wumian find to kill me?"

Xu Ran smiled faintly, "If you don't want to go, then it's fine to fight here."

Chen Qiyuan walked out of the alley carrying the Blood Scale Spear, raised his head slightly, looked at Eunuch Lin with a defiant look, and said with a smile: "I wonder which of the Five Mountains, which became famous during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, is stronger than Wudamu."

Eunuch Lin glanced at Chen Qiyuan, frowned slightly, and asked in a slightly surprised tone, "You are not dead?"

Chen Qiyuan curled his lips and said, "I'm very lucky."

A man in a robe suddenly appeared beside Eunuch Lin, with a long sword on his waist, black and white hair, and a hair crown on his head. He was dressed meticulously, and there was heavy snow falling on his body, but his clothes could not be touched by any snow.

Not a single piece of snow gets on it.

He looked at Chen Qiyuan, "You are not dead... Then where is my brother?"

"Oh, another junior fellow of Taoist Guiyi, Master Guiyuan..." Chen Qiyuan looked Master Guiyuan up and down, "Are you the one that this old cong relies on?"

Guiyuan is Guiyi's junior brother and Guishou's senior brother, and they are also at the level of Wukui. However, Zhenren Guiyi has already received the Wukui plaque, so he was not conferred the title of Wukui. However, his status in the sect is not much different from that of Dongxuan of Xiaoxitian.

When True Man Guiyi was practicing in seclusion, True Man Guiyuan would be in charge of the sect's important affairs... He was usually not in the capital, but in charge of the overall situation at the Wugong Mountain headquarters on the north side of the Luoxiao Mountains in Jiangyou.

When Eunuch Lin guessed that Zhao Wumian was going to Jin to seek help to kill him, he went to the branch of Wugong Mountain in the capital and asked them to call Master Guiyuan.

Jiangyou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and Guiyuan Zhenren has only arrived in the capital a few days ago.

Gui Yuan frowned and asked again, "Where is Senior Brother?"

"If you beat me, I'll tell you."

Gui Yuan frowned again, and looked at Zhao Wumian who was walking alone with his horse. He took a few glances at him, and then a bit of surprise appeared in his eyes, "Harmony between man and nature..."

If Zhao Wumian had not yet achieved the state of heaven and man, he could have been forcibly killed here even at the risk of affecting the common people...But now that Zhao Wumian has achieved the state of heaven and man, he is able to fight with Wu Kui. If they really had to fight head-on, he would not be so easy to kill.

Since there is no certainty of killing Zhao Wumian... the people present are either from the imperial court or leaders of the righteous sect. If innocent people in the capital were to die due to private fighting, then this matter would be no small matter.

The disadvantages of starting a war here far outweigh the advantages.

Gui Yuan Zhenren suspected that Zhao Wumian entered the city so openly in order to lure them into killing him, causing the people to die tragically and smearing the prince with a smear of "immorality".

Eunuch Lin smiled faintly, "Why not go?"

"You are so brave, you deserve to be Xia Chengsong, one of the Five Great Mountains." Chen Qiyuan laughed and flew towards the east.

Eunuch Lin followed silently.

Gui Yuan looked at Eunuch Lin's back and thought to himself, why go there when there is a trap? Isn't that just seeking death?
Eunuch Lin is so decisive, I guess he has some hidden card...

Zhenren Guiyuan thought for a moment. After all, he was a master who could practice to the level of Wu Kui. He had nothing else but courage and pride.

Send people to encircle and suppress us? Then I will fight you! There is absolutely no reason to be afraid before the battle.

The martial arts masters in the world are basically like this... Without such determination, they can't reach the level of martial arts masters. Therefore, he smiled faintly at Xu Ran who was not far away from him, "General Xu, don't go insane while fighting later."

After saying that, he flew up and followed.

Xu Ran didn't set off until Gui Yuan also left.

On the east side of the capital, there is an artificial Zhuwu Lake, which covers a vast area and the banks are planted with green bamboos.

The eldest daughter of the Shang family, who was the Princess of Qin at that time, loved bamboo and rafting...So after Emperor Jingzheng ascended the throne, he spent a huge amount of money to build this lake in the east of the city to commemorate his deceased wife.

Emperor Jingzheng was born during the Jingnan Rebellion and came to power by illegitimate means. In order to prevent people from stabbing him in the back, he has worked diligently and conscientiously since he came to power, acting like a wise ruler... This lake and bamboo forest were the only selfish actions he took during his 17 years in office.

At this time of the year, there should be many people boating on the lake. Last night, the lights of the ships on the lake were more numerous than the stars, but at this moment, there was only one boat on the lake.

A small boat was drifting in the lake. A middle-aged man in white clothes, with his hair tied behind his waist, sat cross-legged on the boat with his eyes closed, resting. A long sword with a red sheath was placed across his knees.

Under the snow curtain, above the lake, this person is the only one sitting in the snow.

Eunuch Lin came to the shore and looked over with a slightly cold expression, "Sword Sect Master, Sword Master Chu Ruzhou... He is here too?"

Chen Qiyuan scratched his head, and then laughed, "I kidnapped his nephew, and I guess he was called here by a letter from the little King of Hell. If I hadn't boarded this boat, he would have come to chop me up first."

The contemporary leader of the Sword Sect, also the contemporary sword champion Chu Ruzhou, had a handsome face and a calm expression. He opened his eyes calmly and looked at the people on the shore without saying much.

A slight "rustling" sound was heard from within the bamboo forest.

Two people walked out.

One of them was dressed in a monk's robe and had an elegant temperament, but his expression had a kind of indifference that was difficult to conceal.

The second in command of Xiaoxitian, Master Dongxuan.

There was another person, wearing a crimson police uniform, with an upright figure, an embroidered spring sword on his waist, and a smiling face.

Su Huaixi, Chief Constable of the Detective Department, was also present. He was the youngest martial arts master... and he was not even forty years old.

After waiting for a few more seconds, no one showed up. These were the people who were encircling and suppressing Eunuch Lin.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense.

"Commander-in-Chief Xu, Chief Constable Su, Master Dongxuan, Spear Master, Sword Master," Guiyuan Zhenren glanced around coldly, and then smiled, "The Chu Navy, the Detective Department, Xiaoxitian, Wujitian, and the Sword Sect are all related to Zhao Wumian. No wonder the prince regards him as a great enemy... As an emperor, how could he allow such a great man who can unite various forces to exist under his command?"

Chief Constable Su smiled slightly, "We originally had one person who had not yet come here, so the plan cannot be changed. I'm sure you all understand this."

Chief Constable Su was referring to the 'master of the Shen family' that Shen Xiangge had mentioned... In fact, even Chief Constable Su didn't know who this master was. He wanted to contact Shen Xiangge but couldn't do so at the moment. She was a stay-at-home girl who never left the house. She was most likely to have followed the prime minister into the palace to attend the coronation ceremony.

They can only go first
Eunuch Lin remained silent. There was actually someone else... How many martial arts masters did Zhao Wumian team up with?
"Hey, Taoist Guiyuan, please be more serious." Chen Qiyuan quickly raised his hand and denied:
"There is a difference. Zhao Wumian had an affair with them because of Luo Chaoyan, Su Qingqi, Guan Yunshu and Mu Lier. He united with these forces by sacrificing his masculinity and clinging to women. But Wujitian doesn't have any female disciples willing to marry him, and I don't have any sisters or junior sisters."

After these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere inside and outside the bamboo forest became slightly tense.

Except for Chu Ruzhou, the expressions of the other three martial arts masters were a bit ugly. Of course, it was also possible that Chu Ruzhou was the farthest away and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Chief Constable Su was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Qiyuan and smiled coldly, "Now that we have already torn our faces apart, there is nothing more to say... It's nothing more than the two words 'horizontally' and 'vertically'. Have Eunuch Lin and Taoist Guiyuan made any preparations?"

Eunuch Lin raised his hand and gently pinched a bamboo leaf, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

When Emperor Jingzheng was still alive, he often came to this bamboo forest and drank by the lake... He was always by his side at that time.

He was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Don't destroy this bamboo forest."

No one answered.

On the boat on the lake, Chu Ruzhou stood up indifferently, flicked his thumb, and the sword came out three inches with a crisp and subtle "click" sound.

The sound of the sword being unsheathed was extremely subtle, but the next moment, the snow curtain in the sky was suddenly swept away and shattered, the calm lake surface exploded instantly, and six martial arts masters on the shore shot out, creating puddles one after another on the lake surface.

Countless water waves splashed up, and then mixed with heavy snow, falling down, stirring up ripples on the lake surface.

Not many people knew about the competition for the martial arts champion on Zhuwu Lake, but Zhao Wumian, who was on the street, had already arrived at the Sword Sect branch in the capital.

Mu Lier stood in front of the Sword Sect's branch with her arms folded, looking at the "traces" Zhao Wumian had left behind him. She couldn't help but say to herself in her heart: "This is my disciple..."

When Zhao Wumian came closer, Mu Lier sighed softly and raised her hand slightly, and a disciple of the Sword Sect drove a carriage out from the rudder.

Zhao Wumian lifted the curtain and looked inside, then smiled slightly, "Thank you Master for doing so much for me and even calling the Sword Sect's leader."

Mu Lier's expression was a little complicated, "Are you sure you want to go?"

Zhao Wumian lifted up his hat, shook off the snow on it, and then threw it gently, and the hat hung on the front side of the frame.

He turned over and sat on the frame, holding the reins, acting as a coachman, then looked back at Mu Lier with a peaceful smile.

“A real man should do what he should do and not do what he should not do.”

Mu Lier looked at Zhao Wumian's face, was silent for a moment, then smiled, took out a scarlet wine gourd from her waist, and threw it to Zhao Wumian, "Would you like a drink?"

"The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold..." Zhao Wumian raised his hand to take the wine gourd, smiled carefreely, then opened the cork, raised his head and took a sip of wine.

Mu Lier looked at Zhao Wumian's slightly moving Adam's apple, and then looked at some of the wine flowing from the corner of Zhao Wumian's lips and down his throat into his clothes. She couldn't help but smile, took out a clean white handkerchief from her bosom, and said, "Do you still find the wine unpalatable now?"

Zhao Wumian wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "It still tastes bad, but some things are too pretentious to say out loud, so if I drink a sip of wine, everything will be clear."

"Isn't this the martial arts world?" Mu Li'er gave him a charming look and put the handkerchief back into her arms.

"It's the Jianghu..."

Zhao Wumian leaned against the carriage frame and waved the whip lightly.

There was heavy snow, piling up layer upon layer. The carriage moved forward towards the direction of the imperial palace.

The sky is full of snow and wind and one person is sent away.

Mu Lier looked at Zhao Wumian, and for some reason there was a hint of soreness in the corners of her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes, but saw the carriage suddenly stop. In confusion, Zhao Wumian poked his head out from the side of the carriage, turned his head and looked at Mu Lier, raised the vermilion wine gourd in his hand, shook it gently, and said:

"The wine doesn't taste good, but the wine that Master has drunk tastes good."

Mu Lier was slightly stunned, and then she cried and laughed, "You want to bully Master now that you have the ability?"

Zhao Wumian laughed and raised his hand to throw the red wine gourd backwards.

Mu Lier raised her hand to take the gourd, but saw that Zhao Wumian had already ridden away on horseback, the wheels of the horse passing by, crushing the snow on the street.

Mu Lier shook the wine gourd, then raised her head, closed her eyes, and drank the wine in it.

After finishing the drink, he looked up and saw that Zhao Wumian had already driven his carriage, turned the corner and disappeared into the vast snow.

Shen Xiangge, also known as Empress Canghua, was wearing a gorgeous dress and sitting in an exquisite palace. She was surrounded by beautiful ladies and young ladies.

She propped her face up with her hands, stuffed a winter date into her lips out of boredom, and chewed it intermittently.

When they parted at Taiyuan, Lady Canghua chased Taoist Guiyi along the way, but if she was one step slow, every step would be slow.

Zhenren Guiyi is among the top three in martial arts...his ability to escape is probably also among the top three.

Shen Xiangge caught up with him several times and gained some results. He chased him from Taiyuan to Qin, and then to Xiliang, and even injured him several times.

She wanted to continue the pursuit, but Luo Shuzhi was about to ascend the throne. As the daughter of the prime minister, Shen Xiangge would be exposed if she did not show up. Besides... she hadn't seen her aunt for a long time.

Although she learned from Zhao Wumian that the Queen was safe and sound, Zhao Wumian was a ruthless guy and might bully her aunt in any way. When she came to the palace to rescue Zhao Wumian, she only took a quick glance at the Queen.

At that time, the Queen's face was pale and her eyes were tearful, which made Lady Canghua very distressed.

That’s why she rushed to the capital… which means she was a martial arts master and hadn’t suffered any injuries, so she had to use her lightness skills to rush back.

Although Guiyi Zhenren was able to run away, it was impossible for him to run back to the capital due to his injuries.

But Shen Xiangge entered the palace this morning and had no access to any news. Until now, he had no idea what had happened outside the palace. He didn't know about Zhao Wumian, nor did he know that the plan to encircle and suppress Eunuch Lin that had been agreed upon had already begun.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Among those martial arts masters, she was the only one who had to maintain the identity of "the eldest lady of the Shen family", which was inconvenient throughout her life.

And this palace was the Luoshui Palace, a place for the children and wives of the ministers in the court to stay temporarily...Ladies and young ladies like them were not qualified to attend occasions like the coronation ceremony. They had to wait until the ceremony was over and Luo Shuzhi held a banquet for lunch before they could leave the palace.

Lady Canghua had amazing perception, but she could hear the ladies and ladies around her talking about all kinds of shit, either about how this or that young master was doing, or what new clothes and rouge the Jinxiu Shop had released, or even some private conversations like 'I'm wearing a sexy bellyband, but my man goes soft after a few strokes, it's better to have some male favorites'.

There were even quite a few people who talked about Zhao Wumian...but most of them were ladies.

It means that if the queen is magnanimous and lets bygones be bygones, then with Zhao Wumian's current status and ability, marrying him to their daughter would be a very good investment... Or it means that Zhao Wumian is so skilled in martial arts and so young, so his body must be very strong. If he is kept as a male concubine...

Listening to this, Lady Canghua became angry, thinking that since she wanted her female disciples to seduce Zhao Wumian, why were there so many competitors?
With Zhao Wumian's bad mouth that only knows how to irritate people, which other woman would like him except Su Qingqi?
Lady Canghua picked up another winter date and stuffed it between her lips, biting it angrily.

I heard from the palace maids that before the coronation ceremony, the Queen Mother will come to the palace to meet with the ladies and chat about family matters...If not for this, Queen Canghua would not sit here peacefully.

At this moment, a young lady came slowly and whispered, "Miss Shen..."

"Hmm?" Empress Canghua looked over when she heard the voice, and then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

The visitor was wearing a flowing green dress with her sleeves gently rolled up. Her slightly immature face was lightly made up, making her look more gorgeous and charming than before. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were like the ups and downs of spring water. What a graceful and captivating lady... But this was Su Qingqi.

How come Su Qingqi is here?

Su Qingqi saw the confusion of Lady Canghua, and put on a gentle, polite, and elegant smile, "I am also the eldest daughter of the Su family, why can't I come?"

If Luo Chaoyan cannot be killed, then Su Qingqi naturally cannot be killed either. She did not attempt to assassinate the Queen, and if she really wanted to participate in this ceremony, no one would dare to stop her.

Lady Canghua stuffed another winter date into her lips, then crossed her legs and swayed her feet gently, her skirt fluttering to reveal her embroidered shoes, "You're here... so he's here too?"

Su Qingqi nodded slightly.

Empress Canghua frowned slightly, "The fighting has already started now..."

She was referring to the fight at Zhuwu Lake.

Su Qingqi nodded again.

Goddess Canghua stood up and prepared to leave.

Isn't Su Qingqi's appearance here to remind her to leave the palace and help quickly?

But Su Qingqi reached out a small hand from under her sleeves, grabbed the corner of Lady Canghua's clothes, and whispered, "No, the young master asked me to enter the palace to look for Miss Shen, and he has other things to do."

Lady Canghua looked back and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
