The queen was wearing a moon-white cotton gown with fur trimmed at the collar and cuffs. She had taken off her hairpins and rings and was sitting on pins and needles in the room.

They will reach Baizhang Cliff tomorrow, and Xiao Yu will definitely die there, but Yue'er is also there, and she can't just watch Yue'er die like this.

"Eunuch He, the Princess of Xuansu is here to see you!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch He bowed and went to the first floor.

Xiao Yu had just tied Su Lingyue's belt when there was a knock on the door.

His expression froze and he asked, "What's the matter?"

The voice of the eunuch He Gonggong, who holds the seal in the Queen's palace, rang out from outside, "Your Highness, the Queen has ordered that the Princess of Su be summoned to an audience."

Xiao Yu glanced at the unconscious Su Lingyue and said in a deep voice, "Tell the queen that the princess is too tired and has fallen asleep. She cannot see you today."

"But, Her Majesty has said that the princess must go no matter what." Eunuch He's words revealed a sense of helplessness.

As servants, they have to find ways to complete the tasks assigned by their masters. If they do things perfunctorily, the Queen will definitely be unhappy.

"The princess's injury has not healed yet, so it is inconvenient for her to walk. If the queen wants to see her, she will have to come in person!"

Xiao Yu's voice was cold, and Eunuch He could hear the anger and arrogance in his words.

At this point, he could only go back and report truthfully.

Eunuch He told the Queen exactly what Xiao Yu had said. He bowed and looked extremely terrified.

"Yue'er actually blames me so much. Now she doesn't want to see me anymore?" Eunuch He was stunned. He thought the Queen would lose her temper, but he didn't expect the Queen to cry.

The queen held her forehead with her slender hand, her body trembling slightly due to excessive sadness.

Xiao Yu's words were very harsh. She was present when Su Lingyue was beaten with a stick. Su Lingyue had always respected her, but she watched Su Lingyue being beaten like this until he was unconscious before she stopped the emperor.

What Xiao Yu said was the truth. If she had thought of another way, Yue'er might not have to suffer like this.

The Queen said nothing more but asked Eunuch He to leave. She continued to sit there, worrying to herself.

Nanny Cui felt very sorry for the queen and stepped forward to comfort her, "Your Majesty, Miss Yue'er is just angry for a moment. There is still time. Maybe Miss Yue'er will figure it out in a while."

The queen held her forehead and nodded.

hope so.

The second watch sounded, and the soldiers guarding the posthouse began to change shifts. After the original guards left, Liu Fang led another team of garrison soldiers towards the wooden building.

Xiao Changshi stepped forward, blocked Liu Fang's steps and said, "Commander Liu, I'm looking for you. I want to discuss something with you tomorrow."

Liu Fang looked at the soldiers who were coming out to change guards and said, "Your Highness, it's time to change guards now. I will talk to Your Highness in detail after I lead the soldiers to take over."

Xiao Changshi stopped Liu Fang and said, "Commander Liu, this matter is extremely urgent. Don't worry about the rotation of guards. There is still a layer of imperial guards outside the courtyard wall!"

Liu Fang looked towards the wooden building and said, "Your Highness, please speak quickly. I cannot delay for too long."

Xiao Changshi glanced at the wooden building and said, "Okay, there may be more unexpected events tomorrow..."

Outside the wooden building, two black shadows jumped up from the first floor, jumped to the second floor and then used the momentum to jump to the third floor, silently, like two black cats.

The queen was feeling worried when there was a light knock on the window.

"Who?" Nanny Cui immediately pulled the queen away from the bed and asked.

"Xiao Yu, bring Yue'er to see you." The voice was soft, just loud enough for the queen to hear.

When she heard that it was Xiao Yu, the nanny was a little hesitant, but the queen was thinking about Su Lingyue, so she signaled Nanny Cui to go over and open the window.

Nanny Cui walked carefully to the window, opened it, and saw Xiao Yu in a black suit and a man in black dressed as a guard standing outside the window, with Xiao Yu holding a roll of bedding in his arms.

Nanny Cui looked at Xiao Yu warily. The Queen walked past her to the window and asked, "Where is Yue'er?"

"Here." Xiao Yu looked at the quilt in his hand.

"Come in quickly." The queen took a step back and made room.

Xiao Yu used his strength to jump into the window and told Yun Ting outside, "Watch out."

"Yes." He responded softly.

After Xiao Yu came in, Nanny Cui hurriedly closed the window.

The queen walked towards Xiao Yu and saw Su Lingyue quietly closing her eyes in the quilt, looking like she was asleep.

But they had made such drastic movements when they came up just now that it was impossible for someone who was sleeping normally not to have woken up.

Looking at the unconscious Su Lingyue in Xiao Yu's arms, the Queen frowned slightly, "What happened to Yue'er?"

Xiao Yu whispered, "She took a drug." After that, he carried Su Lingyue to the queen's bed and gently put her down.

"What are you doing?" The queen looked at Xiao Yu coldly.

"What?" Xiao Yu's face was full of frost, and he looked at the queen coldly, "I want to ask the queen, have you been sleeping well these days?"

"Have you ever dreamed of Yue'er being beaten?"

"She respected you so much, and you watched her get beaten like this, and you felt nothing in your heart?"

A series of questions pierced into the queen's heart like sharp knives.

But the queen could not say a word to excuse herself.

This is the case.

She watched Yue'er being beaten, and she watched Yue'er's blood flowing all over the floor.

Her whole body was staggering, and just before she fell, Nanny Cui stepped forward to support her.

Xiao Yu continued, "Her injuries are very serious and she can't walk yet. I'm sure you know what's waiting for us tomorrow."

"I believe you truly love her, otherwise you wouldn't have asked Eunuch He to summon her over."

"But the method of letting her come here on her own is not very clever. The emperor wants to kill her, and you can't stop her."

The Queen held Madam Cui's hand and looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "What is your solution?"

Xiao Yu met the Queen's gaze with a sharp look, "I will have my own way to deal with it tomorrow. As for Yue'er, can you hide her well?"

Facing Xiao Yu's sharp gaze, the queen lowered her eyes.

But in a moment, she immediately raised her eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yu. The dark circles under her eyes showed fatigue, but her eyes were firm. "I will fight to the death and never let anyone find her."

After confirming the Queen's attitude, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, took out a bottle from his arms and placed it beside the bed, "If I don't come back in three days, open the bottle and feed her a pill, and she will wake up."

Xiao Yu gently stroked Su Lingyue's cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, "Tell her to live well."

The Queen was shocked for a moment. Looking at Xiao Yu like this, she finally understood why Su Lingyue would rather get hurt and die with Xiao Yu than use the divorce decree.

All the woman wants is a husband who loves her.

He must be really nice to Yue'er.

Seeing that Queen Xiao Yu was caught in a dilemma, Yue'er didn't know how sad she would be if he died, but after his death, Yue'er could return to normal life.

"dong dong dong"

The knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

Several people held their breath and looked towards the door.

"What's the matter?" the queen asked nervously.

Eunuch Wan's voice came from outside, "Empress, His Majesty has summoned you. Please come over now."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, "Got it, I'll change my clothes right away, you go back first."

Eunuch Wan said, "I am waiting outside the door. Please hurry up, Madam. His Majesty is waiting."

"I understand." The queen responded, and raised her voice to say, "Madame Cui, please find my red sparrow-gold robe."

As he spoke, he signaled to Xiao Yu to leave quickly.

Nanny Cui also understood what the queen meant and raised her voice, "Your Highness, I don't think you brought that robe with you. Please change into something else."

"Then choose the purple Shu embroidery one."

As they were talking, Xiao Yu had already left through the window, and Su Lingyue was lying safely on the queen's couch.

The queen fell on the stool, holding her chest and gasping for breath.

She moved Su Lingyue to the bed and covered her with a quilt. After changing her clothes, she followed Eunuch Wan to the emperor next door.
