How long is the long road?
Qingyu, who has grown up to be a temporary general, has returned to the palace. Xiaohei and the old shopkeeper, who left first with his two sisters, have not yet returned to the imperial city.
What surprised Qingyu was far more than Xiao Hei not coming back.
But she just went to the border once, and when she came back, she was still the queen, but she was no longer the queen.
There are no two queens in a dynasty, just like there are no two emperors in a country.
Back at Weiyang Palace, Qingyu was deeply shocked after learning about the changes in the dynasty from Li's mouth.
I was speechless for a moment.
"You don't have to feel sorry for me, it's just a status."
Mrs. Li wiped away the tears from the corners of Qingyu's eyes and explained: "It has been eight years, and we have finally waited until the Khan of the Desert agreed to a marriage. This is a major matter of the country, and there is no way to discuss the personal relationship between children."
A trace of sadness flashed across Qingyu's face, and she didn't speak for a while.
After a while, he said softly: "Oh, as long as the queen is not angry, it will be fine."
Li took a sip of the hot tea in front of her, but when she looked at Qingyu's slightly thin shoulders, an imperceptible look flashed in her eyes.
After a while, he asked calmly: "Where's Xiao Hei? Didn't he go back to the imperial city with you?"
"That guy left Dingzhou City before me, but I didn't find him when I came back."
Wiping away her tears, Qingyu smiled gently.
Looking at Mrs. Li, she replied: "I will come back to stay with you for a few days, and then I will go to the mountain to ask my master if Xiao Hei is back."
Li was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Did that guy travel all the way to the mountains and rivers and don't know his way back? There is nothing major to worry about in this imperial city. If it were me, I would probably come back just for fun."
Qingyu thought that Xiao Hei's temperament would not be bad, but it would be hard to tell if there were two more little girls.
The older brother sometimes sticks to his principles, but more often than not, he will dote on his two younger sisters.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "It's also possible. Let's wait until I see the master."
Xiao Hei is going back to the imperial city to find his brother, which is something Qingyu knows.
In this case, she won't worry about Xiao Hei. After all, that guy is a mysterious guy. Even the powerful monk from Northern Qi can fight to a draw.
When Li asked about the battle situation in Dingzhou City, Qingyu told Li what happened one by one, but deliberately avoided Xiao Hei's actions.
Because Xiao Hei wouldn't let her say it.
In order to abide by the agreement with Xiao Hei, she had to keep her mouth shut.
However, although Mrs. Li did not ask about Xiao Hei, she did tell her about the Hongfu Temple in Dingzhou City.
Looking into Qingyu's eyes, Li asked: "Thousands of acres of farmland outside the city have been flooded. What does Hongfu Temple say? Is there any trouble with the city lord?"
From her and Emperor Wu's point of view, Hongfu Temple had suffered a hidden loss, and it was a big loss at that, and they would definitely not let it go.
He has to find some trouble with the city lord's palace and the dynasty.
Qingyu sighed and shouted angrily: "How is that possible? Their abbot and abbot found the Lord of the City the next day and said that after the war, he would compensate them for their losses this year."
"What a courage!"
Li was furious when he heard this. He took Qingyu's hand and squeezed it hard, causing Qingyu to scream "Ah!" in pain.
He complained: "Is the empress going to murder Qingyu?"
Li was startled, took her arm and checked her carefully, and then asked distressedly: "Why are you injured? How long has it been?"
Qingyu curled her lips and replied: "Thanks to the assassins of the Northern Qi army, it has been a long time. It is estimated that it will take ten and a half days to recover."
"Oh, I didn't expect that even you would be seriously injured."
Li said quietly: "I'll ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some gold-creating medicine for you later, so I can give you a good treatment."
Qingyu shook her head: "No, I'll go see the master in two days and he will treat me."
In fact, there was something Qingyu didn't say. The elixir and wine Xiaohei gave him were already very good, but the injury he suffered this time was too serious and it would take time to recover slowly.
Even for these little things, Xiao Hei wouldn't let her tell the Queen.
He said that he was afraid of trouble, and his brother was even more afraid of trouble.
After taking the elixir and being favored by Xiao Heitian, how could Qingyu dare to cause him any more trouble?
She only hoped that the empress would forget about Xiao Hei and that General Yuwen would spend a few years to resolve the war in Northern Qi, so that she could rest assured and go back to the mountains with her master.
Just like Xiao Hei said, the inner courtyard of the harem is not Qingyu's final destination.
She has seen that threshold, how could she miss the glory and wealth of the world?
While they were talking, the maid announced that the Queen had arrived.
Mrs. Li patted Qingyu's hand and said with a smile: "You are here just in time. Let me introduce the new queen to you."
While they were talking, Ashina entered Weiyang Palace accompanied by the palace maids. She looked at Li from a distance and shouted: "Sister doesn't come to see me either..."
Mrs. Li bowed to Qingyu, looked at Azina and said with a smile: "You are the Queen now, how can you be so surprised."
Asuna curled her lips: "The emperor is so busy all day long that he rarely sees anyone. Is he avoiding me on purpose?"
Qingyu was speechless for a moment when she looked at the queen who looked like a fairy in front of her.
Li held Asuna's hand and comforted her: "It's rare for me to see him once. Isn't the frontline fighting against Northern Qi? As the king of a country, it's normal to be busy."
Ashina thought for a while and said, "Sister, the master and junior sister haven't drank my wedding wine yet. I want to go see his old man. Is it okay?"
When Qingyu heard this, she couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
Queen Xindao is also a monk, so why did she already have a master when she first came to the imperial city? There is also a junior sister?
Could it be that the priest from the desert also came to the imperial city?
Seeing Qingyu's surprised look, Mrs. Li had no choice but to introduce to Keshina: "This is my maid and my sister Qingyu. She is also a monk. It just so happens that she also has a master on the snow mountain..."
Ashina was surprised when she heard this, but then she giggled.
He took Ms. Li's hand and smiled and said, "It turns out that the senior sister is back. This time, the master and junior sister will be happy."
Qingyu was confused, and after a while she asked cautiously: "How can I know my master and junior sister when I am in the desert?"
"I didn't know the master at first, but I knew Xiao Hei's brother. He said that Xiao Hei knew the senior sister and junior sister... I just wanted to practice, so I became my master..."
Asuna spent a while introducing some of the previous stories to Qingyu.
Having said this, Asuna, as the empress, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He chuckled and said: "I thought I would be lonely in the inner courtyard of the palace, but I didn't expect that the senior sister is also here, and I have company."
Li didn't expect that the two had such a relationship, and was stunned at the moment.
She knew that Qingyu had always lived with Xiaohei in Northern Qi, so how could she have the chance to go to the desert.
After listening to Asuna's words, I realized that it was Xiao Hei's brother who had gone to the desert.
At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This person's fate is really meaningful."
Qingyu sighed and introduced to Mr. Li: "After all, the chance encounter between my mother and I is all because of Xiao Hei. It's a pity that he doesn't want to be an official, and my mother shouldn't force him."
Going around and around, I can't get around Xiao Hei.
Qingyu had no choice but to honestly tell Mr. Li Xiaohei's thoughts.
Li was stunned when he heard this and looked at Qingyu with incredulous eyes.
After a long while, he murmured to himself: "I wonder who in the world doesn't want to be an official?"
Asuna giggled, took her hand and said: "Sister, you are wrong. My master and junior sister do not want to be officials, and neither do Xiao Hei's brother and sister..."
Qingyu thought of the little tiger that Xiaohei often talked about.
I couldn't help but ask: "Queen, Xiao Hei has a younger brother named Xiao Hu, is he coming back with him this time?"
Azina narrowed her eyes when she heard this, first smiled, and then sighed.
He said faintly: "If I hadn't met Xiaohu, I would have fallen into the hands of the bandits long ago... That guy is a ruthless man, and he came back with my husband."
Qingyu chuckled: "Xiaohu is being tortured this time. When Xiaohei's two little sisters come back, they won't be able to clamor for their brother to go shopping with them every day."
Fortunately, Qingqing, Yan'er is not a light-saving lamp.
If you don't go out for two days, you'll get so anxious that you start shouting.
Even if the little white wolf transformed into a human with the help of the little black, he was born with a wild nature that could be corrected in a short time.
Thinking of Yan'er's appearance, Qingyu laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
Without waiting for Asuna's reply, Li complained to herself: "Remember, when I see Xiao Hei, let him bring his two sisters into the palace to see me no matter what. This is all a mess."
"When I let him out of the palace and went to Northern Qi, he was just like a savage and didn't want to come back..."
Li looked at Asuna and said with a smile: "Qingyu was in danger in the city, and it was Xiao Hei who carried her back to the palace. If it was worse, Qingyu wouldn't be able to survive."
When Azina heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiaohu said that if you have a lot of debts, you won't have to worry about it. I didn't expect that we sisters all owe brother Xiaohu for saving our lives."
Worried that Qingyu would misunderstand, Ashina continued: "Xiaohu follows Sister Shuzi all day long. I think your husband will arrange for the two of them to get married sooner or later..."
Qingyu looked at Mrs. Li and shook her head: "Empress, I will go with the Empress to see the master another day. She is safe in the imperial city and no one dares to bully her."
Asuna chuckled: "I met the master in a hurry last time, but this time I have to stay for a few days and let him help me break through to a higher realm..."
Qingyu shook her head when she heard this: "Instead of begging the master, you should have a good talk with Sister Shuzi's brother. He should be even more powerful than the master."
"How is that possible?" Ashina exclaimed.
"How is it impossible?"
Qingyu said seriously: "When I was in Northern Qi, Xiao Hei's leg was still broken. When I went to the mountain to ask for the elixir from my master..."
"Xiao Hei told Master to communicate more with his brother when he arrived in the Imperial City, saying that his brother would help us break through to a higher realm..."
Qingyu said nothing, and Li was extremely anxious.
Seeing Qingyu so angry that she couldn't speak, it took a while to calm down her excitement.
Pointing at Qingyu, he said: "Qingyu, you went back to Beiqi and you forgot about me, my sister. No, I have to go with you to meet Xiaohei's brother."
Qingyu was startled, and finally realized that she had not kept her mouth shut tightly today and had said the wrong thing.
After thinking about it, I finally had to smile bitterly and said: "Don't worry, Madam, we should wait until Xiao Hei comes back to discuss this matter. Even if you can't see his brother, Xiao Hei will find a way for you."
Ashina didn't expect that Li was also a cultivator, and her cultivation level was higher than hers, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
If the chaos continues like this, I'm afraid the Li family will have to be dragged into it.
In that case, the master might not even want to pay attention to her.
At this point, Asuna could only say softly: "Sister, don't worry, how about I and the master ask for some elixirs for your sister to help her break through the situation?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the two of them, he said seriously: "Remember, you are not allowed to eat alone anymore."
Qingyu shook her head: "I haven't eaten anything alone, have I?"
Unexpectedly, Li and Ashina said at the same time: "No, Qingyu (junior sister), why can't I understand your cultivation level? What state are you in now?"
