That day, Lin Jiuqing stayed in Yinghua Palace for a long time, and it was almost dark when he came out.

Yingyue was waiting at the door. When she saw her come out, she hurried over to greet her: "My lady, are you okay?"

Lin Jiuqing shook his head: "It's okay, go back."

Yingyue was worried, but Lin Jiuqing obviously didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions and just served him more carefully.

After returning to Lanyin Palace, Lin Jiuqing said that he wanted to rest by himself and dismissed the people around him.

When she was alone, she finally let go of everything, with a worried look on her face. She sat there for a long while, but couldn't help but take out the letters written by Mo Xiao and read them one by one, finally stopping at the letter where she found a problem.

After looking for a long time, Lin Jiuqing closed his eyes and said softly, "You promised me that you would come back safely. You must not lie to me."

She raised her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, and said in her heart: My child and I are waiting for you to come back.

-

Border.

In a dense forest.

Mo Xiao held a long knife in his hand and put it on Tuoba Xuan's neck with a wave of his hand.

Tuoba Xuan was leaning against a big tree, with his neck stiff and not daring to move.

Mo Xiao stared at him closely and said word by word: "You led us to this road. We have been trapped here for three days!"

Tuoba Xuan's body was stiff, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The weather here is like this, ever-changing. There is nothing wrong with the route I led, but we were unlucky and encountered a thick fog that blocked the mountain, so we couldn't tell the direction."

Mo Xiao said coldly: "If we continue to be trapped here, we will be dead."

"I know you're anxious, and I'm anxious too," Tuoba Xuan said in a faster tone, "If you die here, will I be able to get out alive?"

Mo Xiao stared at Tuoba Xuan for a while, then he retracted the knife in his hand and said coldly, "You'd better think of a way to leave quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to a big tree nearby and sat down. The soldiers around him consciously formed a circle and put him in the middle.

Mo Xiao closed his eyes and leaned against a big tree to rest. The little patience he had was gradually consumed as time passed.

Now is the critical moment of the battle between the two armies, but he has been trapped here for three days. If Chen Yuan can't hold on... the consequences will be unimaginable.

Also, the letters he left in advance were almost used up. If he couldn't get back in time, Lin Jiuqing, who was far away in the capital, would definitely be worried, and this was the last thing he wanted to see.

Lin Jiuqing had lived in fear for the first half of his life, and in the second half he wanted her to live a more stable life.

He was anxious, and Tuoba Xuan on the other side was not much better.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal on this mission, but he also killed all the officials in the diplomatic corps. Even if he returned to the royal court, he would be dead, as his father and brother would not let him go.

Therefore, he had to borrow Mo Xiao's power to completely trample his father and brother under his feet, so that he could survive.

After all, Tuoba Xuan grew up here, so he is obviously more familiar with the situation here than Mo Xiao who has never been here.

He stood up, looked up at the sky, looked around, and finally said to Mo Xiao who was sitting there with his eyes closed, "I think the fog will soon dissipate."

Mo Xiao, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked at Tuoba Xuan: "How long will it take?"

Tuoba Xuan pursed his lips, considered for a moment, and said, "About an hour."
