When Qingyu honestly told the two empresses in front of her about her true cultivation level, not only Li, but also Ashina was extremely anxious.
Ashina shouted: "Next time I see Xiao Hei, I have to ask him for some treasures. After all, he is also Sister Shuzi's brother."
Li Shi glared at Qingyu: "You are so cruel, don't you know that I haven't broken through the border for many years?"
Qingyu sighed and said, "Don't worry, let's wait until Xiao Hei comes back."
She believed that Xiao Hei could help her break through the situation, which would naturally give her junior sister and the empress some opportunities. After all, when Xiao Nian was in the palace, the empress was really fond of Xiao Hei.
But she didn't dare to reveal anything about the elixir.
Because Xiao Hei warned her that if she didn't want her blood to be drained, she should keep her mouth shut.
So, from then on, Qingyu realized that the flesh and blood on her body were rare treasures in this world.
Because of the relationship between Qingyu and Xiaohei, Li will not be afraid.
And because of the old Taoist priest and the relationship between Qingyu and Shuzi, Asuna is not afraid that Xiaohei will ignore her.
Seeing the anxious look of the two people, Mrs. Li could only smile bitterly and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will discuss it with the emperor before letting you out of the palace."
Qingyu knew the rules in the palace, so she had no choice but to tell Asuna: "Junior sister, you are the queen now, so naturally you can't run around. You can only leave the palace with the emperor's permission."
Ashina sighed and said quietly: "If I had known earlier, I would have only been the master's disciple, not the queen."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was startled for a moment, and then she laughed from ear to ear.
He held her hand and laughed and said, "This is a national matter and it's not up to you."
The three chatted for an hour, and finally Ashina took Qingyu away, saying that it was rare for the senior sister to return to the palace, so she wanted to have a good chat with her.
Mrs. Li was also happy and free, waving her hand to drive away the two troubled guys.
No matter how smart she was, she never expected that the queen of Zhou Dynasty would be Qingyu's junior sister.
It seemed that she was going to have a good chat with the emperor.
…
During the lantern lighting season, Emperor Wu came to Weiyang Palace.
Before he could sit down, he looked at Li and asked, "Where's Qingyu? Let him come out to see me and tell me about the war on the front line."
The maid served hot tea, and Mrs. Li waved her hand for the maid and eunuchs to leave.
After Emperor Wu drank half a cup of hot tea, he sighed softly.
Looking at Emperor Wu, he said: "Your Majesty, even if you are doing it for the country, you must not neglect the Queen. After all, she is innocent and has no bad intentions."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning and asked: "I'm looking for Qingyu, why did my sister get involved with the queen?"
Mrs. Li smiled softly, waved her hand and said, "No matter how much I thought, I never expected that the Queen is Qing Yu's junior sister. They both have the same master..."
"How bad can a girl who only wants to practice cultivation be?"
Li thought of her own cultivation and couldn't help complaining: "Besides, with Qingyu watching over you, how can she, a woman, disrupt your dynasty?"
Emperor Wu shook his head and said: "Sister, we must be on guard against others."
"Be careful!"
Mrs. Li was a little angry, looked at him and said: "The Queen told me today that she regretted entering the palace and becoming the Queen. She would have known that she would go to the mountains to practice with the master..."
In her opinion, women who have not practiced spiritual practice will naturally be fascinated by the glory and wealth in the palace.
But now even Qingyu wants to leave the palace to practice with her master, let alone the queen, a young girl who is new to the world.
At this point, Mrs. Li looked at Emperor Wu and said seriously: "We are a couple in need. There is no other way. Otherwise, if I had such an opportunity in the past, I would definitely choose to be born and practice with the master."
Emperor Wu's relationship with Li was as strong as gold, so he naturally understood Li's good intentions.
After thinking for a while, he looked at her and replied: "Sister, I can just arrange this. We have to discuss another important matter..."
Li was surprised when she heard this, and then smiled thoughtfully.
"Fortunately, Qingyu is back at this time. With her here, this matter is a little more certain."
Mrs. Li sighed softly and said, "After delaying this for so long, it's time to remove this poisonous thorn."
After thinking for a while, she asked again: "The queen said she would go see her master with Qingyu in a few days. I think Qingyu is involved in this matter, so let her go to the mountains and stay for a few days."
Emperor Wu was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said: "Let my sister make the decision regarding the harem."
"Well, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
Li said solemnly: "After this problem is solved, the next thing to be solved is the issue of those temples that support their own troops and own tens of millions of acres of fertile land without paying taxes."
Emperor Wu nodded and replied: "Let's resolve the matter at hand first, and then start solving other troublesome matters after everything stabilizes."
After enduring it for so many years, Emperor Wu finally saw hope, and naturally he would not be in a hurry.
The two chatted for a while, and Li couldn't help but joked: "You didn't expect that your charming queen is actually Qingyu's junior sister."
Emperor Wu chuckled: "That's not good. From now on, senior sister Qingyu will be responsible for the queen's safety."
"Bah, you think so."
Li Shi also smiled coquettishly at this time: "Qingyu is my sister, how can I protect your queen?"
When Emperor Wu heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "It was my sister who asked me to be the queen in the first place. Why do I regret it now?"
The couple looked up at the bright moon outside the window and couldn't help laughing together.
…
Everything seems to have not changed, but everything is quietly changing.
Just like the rain on a spring night, quietly moistening the earth and awakening the sleeping seeds.
On the third day after Qingyu returned to the palace, Prime Minister Yu Wenhu returned to Chang'an from Tongzhou. Emperor Wu came to Wen'an Hall to receive him. After the interview, the two went to Hanren Hall to see the Empress Dowager Chinu.
The bodyguard that the prime minister brought back from Tongzhou was still waiting outside the palace gate for his master to return after seeing Emperor Wu.
This is their responsibility.
In the eyes of the guard general Yuwen Fengyun, he was only responsible for the safety of the Prime Minister, and no one in the dynasty had the right to command him or his men.
There are not many guards for the Prime Minister, only thirty people.
It's just that these thirty people are all carefully selected dead soldiers by Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Fengyun, and they are all ruthless characters.
After waiting for half an hour, the prime minister did not come, but unexpectedly, Qingyu, who had returned from Dingzhou City, came out of the palace with a group of forbidden troops.
Today, Qingyu is wearing armor, and his face looks gloomy and uncertain.
Looking at the heavily armed Yuwen Fengyun who was guarding the palace gate, Qingyu couldn't help but scolded: "This is a forbidden area of the palace. Who told you to guard here with swords?"
Yuwen Fengyun was stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly: "We are the bodyguards of the Prime Minister, so we naturally have reason to wait here for him to leave the palace and protect him from returning home safely."
Qingyu said "Oh!" and then replied coldly: "The Forbidden Army will protect the Prime Minister when he returns to the mansion. You can leave now."
The guards were at a loss for a moment, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Yuwen Fengyun didn't take it seriously. He looked at Qingyu and replied coldly: "It's not the imperial palace's imperial army's turn to intervene in the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You can go away."
I don't know from which day the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion began to ignore the Imperial Palace's imperial guards.
This is also something that everyone in the palace knows. Even Qingyu would not deliberately come to trouble them before.
But today was a little different.
Because Mr. Li talked with her all night and made her understand that some things had to be done. This was the responsibility of her and Mr. Li, and it was also the fate of the two women.
The wind blows and blows, blowing the branches.
But it couldn't impress the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the palace gate, nor could it conquer the determination of Qingyu and a bunch of forbidden troops.
However, the hot wind ruffled the black hair of Yan'er who had just entered the city gate with a look of surprise on her face.
Looking at this strange city, Yan'er couldn't help but ask: "Is this my brother's home?"
The carriage had just passed the inspection and entered the city gate. Xiao Hei's consciousness did not return to No. 47 first, but glanced inside and outside the palace.
Xiao Hei was a little surprised when he saw the tense Qingyu outside the palace gate.
But here she heard Yan'er's voice and had to reply: "Don't worry, I'll be home soon. Brother should be waiting for us."
Qingqing pulled her sister to sit down and whispered: "Sister, don't worry, haven't we already entered the city?"
Yan'er said "Oh" and then said with a smile: "I'll take a break today and go shopping with my sister tomorrow."
Qingqing glanced at Xiao Hei and asked, "Brother, will someone take us shopping?"
Xiao Hei smiled lightly: "If Sister Shuzi is not at home, my brother will take you there."
Yan'er nodded with satisfaction: "Brother is the best."
Xiao Hei comforted his two sisters, and then he released his consciousness and said to Qing Yu outside the palace gate: "What happened? Do you want my help?"
Qingyu, who was about to take action, was shocked when he heard this and blurted out: "Are you back?"
"I just entered the city gate and haven't gone home yet."
Xiao Hei continued to ask: "What happened in the palace? Is the Queen in trouble?"
Xiao Hei didn't ask about Emperor Wu's safety. In his opinion, if the emperor couldn't even care about his own throne, it would be better not to sit on this dragon chair. It's not impossible to replace him with someone else.
Ever since he and his brother helped Emperor Wu ascend the throne, he no longer wanted to care about the affairs of the dynasty.
Qingyu sighed and whispered a few words that only Xiao Hei could understand.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "You can figure it out later."
Xiao Hei thought for a while and replied: "I will go for a walk outside the palace first and then go home."
Seeing that the savior returned to the imperial city, Qingyu finally let go of her hanging heart and said quietly: "Thank you."
Xiao Hei opened the curtain and said to the coachman: "Let's go to the palace first and let my sister see the palace of Da Zhou."
The coachman responded, flicked his whip, and the horse cheered and galloped forward.
The old shopkeeper who was following the carriage frowned and said to Xiao Hei: "We have just entered the imperial city. Is there any trouble again?"
Xiao Hei smiled faintly: "Sister Qingyu is in some trouble, let's go over and have a look."
Yan'er nodded upon hearing this: "Sister Qingyu is in trouble, then brother, please take Yan'er to help."
Qingqing glared at her and whispered in her ear: "Shh, this is brother's business. Sister, don't talk nonsense."
Yan'er thought for a while and said with a smile: "Brother's matter is also Yan'er's matter."
Xiao Hei touched her head and smiled: "Brother will show you the palace of Da Zhou first, and then go home to see big brother."
The carriage rolled and instantly crushed all the fallen leaves on the long street of the imperial city.
Taking a deep breath, Qingyu looked at Yuwen Fengyun in front of her and said: "Either get out or die, you choose one."
Xiao Hei was already running towards her, and Qingyu, who had a backbone, finally showed her courage.
Although her arm has not fully recovered at this time.
However, facing Qingyu who was dressed in armor and was Li's personal maid, Yuwen Fengyun would not buy her account at all.
"Zhi!" sounded, and the long sword beside Yuwen Fengyun's waist was unsheathed, and a ray of frost instantly condensed, pointing directly at the sapphire. He said coldly: "It seems that you are deliberately causing trouble for us today, let's do it!"
Amidst the whirring, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately surrounded him.
At the same time, the Imperial Guards from the palace unsheathed their swords one after another and confronted the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the blink of an eye.
Qingyu quietly drew out her long sword and slashed straight at Yuwen Fengyun: "I'm coming!"
With a bang, Yuwen Fengyun blocked Qingyu's sword and shouted sternly: "Brothers, come together!"
