People were coming and going on the street. Su Qingyu was completely immersed in the topic given by Sima Yi, and she didn't even notice that there was someone behind her who was following her figure.
But Mingyue discovered Lu Yuncheng's existence early on.
She wanted to remind Su Qingyu several times, but in the end she couldn't speak.
"So Mr. Sima made a special trip to Yongcheng just to spread the word?"
Su Qingyu looked at him suspiciously, really not knowing what the purpose of Sima Yi's trip was.
The capital was thousands of miles away from Yongcheng. If it was just to convey a message, he could just send a bodyguard to make a trip. He, an unarmed scholar, wouldn't have to go through this trouble.
"The Queen doesn't worry about others, and she doesn't worry about Miss Su either. I saw her hesitating, so I came over here."
What he said was obviously true, but Sima Yi actually felt that he was feeling guilty for no reason.
This guilty conscience made it impossible for him to look into Su Qingyu's eyes honestly, and he could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother has already gone to see the Queen Mother when I set off. I heard that the Queen Mother has always treated you differently from others, and she will definitely find a way to help you this time."
Su Qingyu sighed almost inaudibly: "The Queen Mother treats me well, but I can't rely on this friendship to embarrass her."
The two of them continued walking to the inn. The street was busy with traffic, but Su Qingyu's eyes were blank.
This time in Yongcheng, to put it bluntly, she and Mingyue could almost work alone.
Even so, she could not involve the innocent Queen Mother and drag her back into the center of the whirlpool.
Where she finally broke free, how could Su Qingyu have the heart to let her continue to be involved?
"Selling illegal salt is absolutely not allowed in Daxia. No matter what the truth is, His Majesty Long Yan will definitely be furious because of this matter. The Queen Mother has stopped participating in government affairs a long time ago. If she had been ruined because of this matter, The oath I made, it was really my sin..."
He was clearly in danger, but he still didn't want to involve others.
Although Sima Yi was moved, he couldn't figure it out: "It involves the lives of more than a hundred people in the Hua family. Miss Su can actually rescue them with the help of the Queen Mother first, and the rest can be discussed later."
Su Qingyu shook her head: "Now that I'm here, I will rescue everyone in the Hua family no matter what method I use. As for what you said...this method is not suitable for me. "
Su Qingyu did not tell Sima Yi that once the Queen Mother opened her mouth to Emperor Ming, it would not only destroy her oath, but also start another battle to seize power...
The Hua family cannot afford such a crime.
"No matter what, the matter has not come to the last moment. Please keep your composure and wait for news from the Queen and the Queen Mother."
The two of them walked side by side, unaware that the gaze behind them kept passing through the crowd, watching them disappear around the corner of the street.
At night, Su Qingyu was lying on the bed, but she couldn't close her eyes for a long time.
She had traveled all day and night and had not had a good rest at all, but now her mind was so messed up that she could not calm down.
After tossing and turning many times, he finally sat up from the couch.
Thinking that Jiang Yihe is now the main investigator, I heard that he is quite upright, and he should not abuse the punishment on the Hua family.
The safety of the Hua family should be guaranteed for the time being. Right now, she had to seize the time to sort out the case. This was the most direct way to save the Hua family.
However, she did not expect that so many people would gather in a small Yong city at the same time for the case of selling illegal salt.
King Qi and Jiang Yihe came here on orders, Sima Yi was entrusted by the queen to make a trip, what about Lu Yuncheng? Why did he come?
The water in the pond in Yongcheng seems to be getting more and more turbid.
But being confused doesn't seem to be a bad thing...
The night wind blew, and there was a sudden rattle outside the window.
Su Qingyu immediately stood up and hid at the foot of the bed, then took out the dagger under the pillow and looked outside through the curtain.
I saw someone entering outside the curtain.
The weak candlelight illuminated the figure of the person, which was so unreal that Su Qingyu could not identify who the person was.
She took a deep breath, and when the shadow was getting closer to the bed, she changed her squatting position so that she could get her hands on him better. She just waited for the shadow's owner to lift the curtain, and then she took him down in one fell swoop.
The sound of a watch was heard outside the inn, and the hands that were about to lift the curtain suddenly paused, and then stopped there.
Su Qingyu gritted her teeth and waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for his next move.
So, before the next wake-up call came, he slapped her through the curtain, and then flew over the top of the bed to change positions, hoping to step on the other person's feet.
Although the other party was surprised by Su Qingyu's sudden attack, he reacted quickly and quickly avoided Su Qingyu's palm.
In order to avoid her palm, he fell on his back on the bed.
Separated by a curtain, the two of them were going back and forth. For a moment, they couldn't tell who was superior, and they couldn't see each other clearly.
Su Qingyu didn't expect that the other party had such advanced skills. She was horrified and chose to tear the curtain apart. Then she poured her inner power into her palm and headed straight for the other party's heart.
In the quiet night, the sound of tearing fabric was particularly clear.
It also allowed Su Qingyu to see his appearance clearly when the palm wind was about to reach his heart.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and at the last moment she suppressed her inner strength to deflect the wind from her palm instead of hitting him.
Unexpectedly, because of the temporary change of direction, her center of gravity was unstable and she was about to fall down.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Yun stretched out his long arms and picked her up into his arms, holding her firmly.
The curtain falls.
The remaining candlelight in the room was extinguished long ago when Su Qingyu's palm continued to blow.
The two of them were so close that their breathing could be seen.
In the darkness, each other's eyes can lock each other's hearts accurately.
Everything in the world seems to be dark at this moment, only the other person in their eyes is radiant.
"girl?"
Perhaps hearing some movement, Mingyue stood at the door and tentatively called Su Qingyu.
Just this sound can wake up Su Qingyu and Lu Yuncheng immediately.
Su Qingyu glared at him fiercely, then said warmly towards the door: "I'm fine, you can go and rest."
"yes."
It wasn't until she was sure that Mingyue's footsteps had left that Su Qingyu patted Lu Yuncheng's arm.
I wanted to be loud, but I was afraid of inviting Mingyue again. So what I thought was a fierce voice turned out to be extremely cute after it was spoken.
"You...you put me down!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuncheng not only did not put the person down, but also hugged him tighter.
Ever since he decided to trick her into leaving him, he had never held her like this again.
Now that I am holding you in my arms, how can I be willing to let go easily?
Lu Yuncheng knew Su Qingyu's temper too well, so he softened his voice naturally, and even his eyes looked pitiful after being bullied.
"Qingyu..."
Su Qingyu was worried and pretended that she didn't see it: "Don't do this with me!"
"If you don't let go, I won't be merciful anymore!"
