Chapter 333

Yun Xiaoxiao was about to shout, but a familiar scent of pine filled her nose.

Yun Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Chu Lingyuan holding her in his arms and retreating continuously, with a pair of deep eyes full of complexity.

When he reached a blind corner, Chu Lingyuan slightly let go of Yun Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you avoiding me?" His voice was a little hoarse, and Yun Xiaoxiao's heart ached inexplicably.

"I didn't..." Before Yun Xiaoxiao could finish her words, she was hugged tightly by Chu Lingyuan.

The familiar embrace and familiar warmth made Yun Xiaoxiao subconsciously want to escape, but in the end she still couldn't bear to push him away.

After a moment, Yun Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Your Majesty, this shouldn't be like this between us." The clear voice was full of calmness, without a trace of emotion.

A "Your Majesty" sound completely opened the distance between the two.

Chu Lingyuan's heart froze, and he frowned and corrected himself: "Xiaoxiao, there is no Your Majesty here, I am just your Ayuan."

Yun Xiaoxiao shook his head and then stopped talking.

Chu Lingyuan only felt that his heart was always being pulled by something, and it was throbbing with pain. He explained: "Xiaoxiao, I told you that even if I ascend the throne and become emperor, I will only marry you. I don’t need three palaces or six courtyards, and I don’t need offspring to be prosperous. I just want you, I just want our children.”

As expected, Yun Xiaoxiao's heart moved, but only for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I am used to being free and can't stand the rules and regulations of the palace. If you really love me, you should give me freedom."

Yun Xiaoxiao looked up at him, her eyes full of determination.

Chu Lingyuan's expression froze, but he did not give up. "As my queen, you can still act freely. If you want to leave the palace or Shengjing, I will not stop you."

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled, obviously, she didn't believe Chu Lingyuan's words.

"Well, I have a one-year agreement with His Majesty. If Your Majesty can still say this next year, I will consider it."

Chu Lingyuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Without any intention of stopping, Yun Xiaoxiao directly raised her feet and headed in the direction of Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

On the way, Yun Xiaoxiao's heart was still in confusion.

In fact, Yun Xiaoxiao didn't need to think about it to know what kind of pressure the eighteen-year-old emperor would face if he left the Sixth Palace empty after a long absence. It wasn't that Yun Xiaoxiao insisted on embarrassing Chu Lingyuan, but that Chu Lingyuan's love words were too much. It sounded so beautiful, so Yun Xiaoxiao could only let him understand what he meant by those words.

If Chu Lingyuan could really do it...then she would have nothing to hesitate about.

If not, the affection between them will cease.

Thinking about it this way, the existence of this bet is quite meaningful.

When Yun Xiaoxiao arrived at Prince Jing'an's Mansion, it was already midnight, and Shen Qing was lost in the courtyard, not at all aware of a pregnant woman.

Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but said: "I'm six months pregnant and you're still staying up late blowing the cold wind. What do you want me to say to you?"

Hearing Yun Xiaoxiao's voice, Shen Qing immediately said in surprise: "Cousin?"

Yun Xiaoxiao responded and asked about her search for him.

As expected, it was precisely because of the border incident that I learned from Shen Qing that Lu Yan had gone to southern Xinjiang, and there was no news yet.

Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel worried, but she still comforted Shen Qing a little, and told her that Rong Heng would be here soon, and that they would go to southern Xinjiang with her.

Shen Qing agreed. At this moment, Rong Heng came. Yun Xiaoxiao briefly told him about the "poisoning" of the border soldiers. Unsurprisingly, Rong Heng was very interested, but still unwilling to go alone. Yun Xiaoxiao said softly. After waiting for a while, Rong Heng finally agreed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Xiaoxiao took Shen Qing back to the house to sleep.

Shen Qing was probably tired and fell asleep not long after. Listening to Shen Qing's long and shallow breathing, Yun Xiaoxiao was not sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with scenes of meeting Chu Lingyuan tonight.

The more she thought about it, the more energetic she became. Yun Xiaoxiao simply cursed Chu Lingyuan in her heart, then stood up and sat in front of the window in a daze.

Forget it, the insomnia is not just a day or two, nor is it worse than one night.

…

The next day, just after the fifth watch, Shen Qing got up from the bed, first asked Chanyi to dress her up, and then Haitang and Chanyi informed Fuyi and Li Yu to set off.

Yun Xiaoxiao's face was full of surprise. After asking, she found out that Shen Qing actually wanted to go to southern Xinjiang.

She is now six months pregnant!

Yun Xiaoxiao naturally disagreed, but she couldn't bear it and Shen Qing said that she was the only one who could save Lu Yan, so Yun Xiaoxiao had no choice but to compromise, but the requirement was that she should go with Shen Qing.

Shen Qing hesitated for a moment and agreed, but Yun Xiaoxiao was a little unconvinced, because she knew Shen Qing's temperament best, so when they were on the carriage, Yun Xiaoxiao quietly sprinkled some tracking powder on her body to avoid When they arrived at Qingyang City, Shen Qing abandoned her and ran away alone.

On February 24, the group arrived in southern Xinjiang.

Yun Xiaoxiao followed Shen Qing's wishes and went with Rong Heng to check the status of the 'poisoned' soldiers. Not surprisingly, it was a poison that Rong Heng had never seen in Dachu.

At the same time, Yun Xiaoxiao felt that Shen Qing was getting farther and farther away from her. Just when she was about to tell Rong Heng that Shen Qing had left the city alone, she saw that Rong Heng had already risen into the sky with Yun Xiaoxiao on his back, saying plausibly, "I'll just I know your cousin is dishonest and ran away alone, let’s chase her!”

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled, she had forgotten that her master was much smarter than herself.

There is no doubt that Shen Qing and his party could not match Rong Heng's Qinggong, so the master and apprentice followed him smoothly into southern Xinjiang.

The danger of the trip to Nanjiang was higher than Yun Xiaoxiao expected. They finally escaped the attacks of poisonous insects and poisonous insects in the dense forest, but they were chased by the snake army guarding Nanjiang as soon as they arrived in Nanjiang. After escaping half of Nanjiang, they were temporarily safe.

However, the territory of Nanjiang was still too small. Not long after, they were surrounded and killed by Nanjiang soldiers again. It was not until they entered the Fusang tribe’s garrison that they were finally safe.

Yun Xiaoxiao could see that the Fusang tribe was very respectful to Shen Qing and Tuanzi, so she did nothing but protect Shen Qing’s safety.

Shen Qing made a detailed plan with the patriarch of the Fusang tribe, destroying the Wan Gu Cave, attacking the Sifang Underground Palace, and provoking Fusang City, one after another. Although it was meticulous, everyone knew that success or failure depended on this one move.

When Yun Xiaoxiao saw the Wan Gu Cave full of poisonous insects, even though she had seen many dangerous things with Rong Heng over the years, her scalp still tingled.

Fortunately, everything was safe.

But the accident still happened. Seeing that the overall situation was settled, the high priest of Southern Xinjiang, Fu Yuan, was so crazy that he blew up his body and dragged everyone to be buried with him.

When the power of the explosion hit her, Yun Xiaoxiao had a moment of fear. She didn't expect that she would be the first to break her bet with Chu Lingyuan.

At the critical moment, it was Rong Heng who dragged herself and Xie Zhaohua into the barrier formed by the bodies of Southern Xinjiang soldiers, so that they could escape death.

When Yun Xiaoxiao woke up again, the battle was over, but there were very few survivors.

Fu Yuan was dead, Lu Yan was saved, and the 5,000 soldiers of Da Chu woke up smoothly. The matter of Southern Xinjiang was finally resolved.

The night before leaving Southern Xinjiang, Xie Zhaohua found Yun Xiaoxiao.

Under the bright moonlight, Xie Zhaohua looked at the woman with bright eyes in front of him, and finally let go of the feelings in his heart for many years, and smiled: "My cousin has a good vision."

Yun Xiaoxiao had heard a little about Xie Zhaohua and Chu Lingyuan from Shen Qing, but now it seems that it is over.

"General Qi is brave and resolute, and he is also an excellent candidate for a husband."

Xie Zhaohua smiled and nodded, "Yes, Brother Chuan is very good, but I have never seen it before. Fortunately, it is not too late now."

As soon as the voice changed, Xie Zhaohua comforted a little: "Sister Yun, my cousin is a very good person, and he really likes you. I don't want you to miss it like this."

Yun Xiaoxiao has not returned to Beijing for a long time, and her thoughts of hiding have long been exposed.

Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, and then said sadly: "You are right, he is indeed very good, but... he is not suitable for me."
