Chapter 368: Sudden Departure

"My father should be arriving soon." She frowned, "I never heard my father mention the matter of the Prince of Yanguo before on Cangyun Mountain."

Fucang didn't say anything. He didn't know much about this issue either.

But the doubts were soon cleared.

Early the next morning, Rong Yu and Nan Xi arrived at the imperial city, and Jian Cong entered the palace in a light carriage.

Chu Qinghuang told Rong Yu this problem and received a very calm response from her father: "Beijiang and Yan Kingdom are tasks left to Fucang, and I will not provide you with any intelligence help."

The implication is that Chu Qinghuang is already the king of the West Qi country. From now on, whether she is governing the country or fighting against enemies, she must rely on herself. Just like after Xuanyuan Hao ascended the throne, Dongling only relied on him and Rong Zhan.

If there is no reason to help, Rong Yu will not take the initiative to intervene, and will focus on living a leisurely life after abdicating the throne.

Chu Qinghuang understood.

Fucang's task in Cangyun Mountain is to learn skills in the early stage and practice in the later stage. He must have the ability to be independent, otherwise he will not be able to learn and go down the mountain.

No wonder my father didn't mention a word about Northern Xinjiang and Yan Kingdom.

Chu Qinghuang nodded slowly: "So, I can't stay in Dongling for too long?"

She brought few people with her this time, so she could not obtain information in a timely and accurate manner. If someone really did something rebellious during this period, she would not be able to deal with it in time even if she wanted to.

"Unless you can ensure that even if you leave for a year, no one will be able to threaten the country of Xiqi." Rong Yu said calmly, "Otherwise, you should go back early."

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "Yes."

Although she had already arranged all the things that needed to be arranged, with Prince Rong and Chu Xuanyi here, the possibility of an accident was very small, but no one could guarantee that she would be able to sleep peacefully.

After all, she had only ascended the throne a few months ago, and the Supreme Emperor abdicated in a hurry. Her foundation was not yet stable. The reason why the ministers did not dare to resist was because the shadow of the previous house raids was too great. Most of them were afraid of her. If she was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, Switching sides is nothing unusual.

The appearance of Yan Guo, the abandoned prince, made her even more convinced of this idea.

That night, Chu Qinghuang and Fucang still slept on the same bed.

After bathing, she leaned on the bedside and looked at Fucang: "I decided to go back early tomorrow morning to avoid a long night of dreams. You stay here and wait for the birthday of the emperor, and then return to Cangyun Mountain with your father."

Fucang seemed to have anticipated this decision and remained silent for a moment: "My subordinates will escort the master out of Dongling, enter Xiqi and then come back."

"No need." Chu Qinghuang refused, "No matter where we are escorted, we will be separated. You should be sad when you should. There is no need to worry."

Fucang pursed his lips: "I'm worried about this."

"If this Prince of Yanguo came for me, he would definitely think that I would stay in Dongling and wait for the emperor's birthday before leaving. It would be easy for me to avoid their eyes." Chu Qinghuang's expression was cold, and his eyes were crossed. After much thought, "And I reasonably suspect that there is someone in the DPRK who has close contacts with them."

Fucang nodded: "My subordinates also have this idea."

"That's why I have to go back early." Chu Qinghuang touched his head, "I'm not powerless and can protect myself. You don't have to worry too much."

Although the time they get together won't be too long, and they will be separated sooner or later, Fucang still didn't expect that they would be separated so suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

After being silent for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qinghuang with gentle eyes: "Then Master, can you..."

"Um?"

"Can you..." Fucang coughed slightly, his ears slightly red.

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "Can I kiss you?"
