There was a letter on Su Lingyue's waist!

This should be what Xiao Yu left for her.

After hesitating for a moment, the queen opened the envelope.

"Yue'er, when you read this letter, you should have been in Longhua Temple. This matter is too dangerous, so I had to keep you here. I don't know if I can reunite with you, so I want to tell you something before we part. Don't interfere in Lord Jiang's affairs. It involves too many things. The Dali Temple will investigate it. Don't tell the Queen that the Prince will kill her. The Queen has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is very suspicious. If you tell her rashly, she will definitely not believe it and will become alienated from you. Don't fall out with the Prince first. After finding evidence, tell the Queen and let her choose what to do. After your husband dies, the only one who can protect you is the Queen. Don't contradict the Queen in the future. You have the key to the warehouse. There is a night-shining pearl in it that I haven't had time to give it to you. If I can't come back, find it yourself. It's for you. Take care!"

The queen's hands were trembling slightly and her face was pale.

The prince wants to kill her!

how come?

She is the prince's mother!

But thinking about what Xiao Changshi had just said, something in her heart seemed to start loosening, and something was gradually breaking.

The son whom she had raised with great effort for seventeen years and treated with all her heart actually wanted to kill her!

Her heart felt tight, as if it was being gripped by an invisible hand, making it hard for her to breathe.

Seeing that the queen looked abnormal, Nanny Cui put down the clothes in her hands and walked to the queen, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

The queen handed the letter to Nanny Cui, who read it quickly and held the letter with a look of disbelief on her face.

"My queen... this..."

"Madame Cui, don't tell anyone. Just pretend you didn't see it, okay?"

Aunt Cui looked at the Queen's pale face and cold expression, and nodded in a daze, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I didn't see anything!"

The Queen took the letter from Nanny Cui, folded it, put it in an envelope, and then put it back to its original place.

True and false, real and unreal, her thoughts were too confused.

She doesn't trust anyone now, and she won't feel at ease until she checks it herself.

After Nanny Cui checked the clothes taken off Su Lingyue, she saw the Queen touching the wound on Su Lingyue's chest with trembling fingers.

Looking down, there was a wound on the abdomen that had barely healed.

Su Lingyue was turned sideways, and the red blood scabs from the caning wounds were shocking, as well as the arrow wounds on her back.

Looking at the wounds on Su Lingyue's body, the Queen's heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp blade.

She knew about the caning, but she had no idea when the wound that pierced her chest and the arrow wound on her back occurred.

The queen wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Dress her properly, and be gentle."

"Hey!"

The Queen supported Su Lingyue while Nanny Cui helped her put clothes on.

Before tying the belt, the queen placed the letter close to Su Lingyue's waist.

After rolling Su Lingyue back up as she had originally been, the Queen carefully pulled up the quilt to cover Su Lingyue and said to Nanny Cui, "Let the prince in."

The queen calmed down and regained her former dignity with a hint of kindness.

"Does your Majesty have any solution?" Xiao Changshi asked tentatively.

The Queen's fingers gently stroked the teacup on the table, her eyes fixed on Xiao Changshi, and she said, "Too many imperial guards are going this time. Let them go first, and I will find a way later. Withdraw your people, don't be impulsive now."

Seeing the Queen say this, Xiao Changshi became a little impatient, "But what if Father finds the military token? The entire Xiliang army will obey his orders, and then we will have no chance!"

"I saw it with my own eyes. The thing was worn around Sister Yue'er's neck!" After saying that, his whole body began to tremble and his emotions seemed to be on the verge of getting out of control.

The Queen searched Su Lingyue's body carefully, but found nothing except the letter.

If Xiao Changshi did not lie, there are two possibilities. One is that the thing is with Xiao Yu, and the other is that Xiao Yu gave it to someone else.

This was Xiao Yu's fate when he fell off the cliff, and he had already expected this ending. He would definitely not leave this thing to the person who harmed him.

As for who it was given to, the queen really didn't know for a moment.

Also, he already knew about the danger in advance, maybe... he could avoid it.

With his mindset, this is entirely possible.

"The military token is not at the bottom of the cliff, you don't need to be so anxious!" The queen looked at Xiao Changshi and said lightly.

After hearing the Queen's words, Xiao Changshi's emotions gradually calmed down, and he asked in confusion, "How did the Queen Mother know?"

"Xiao Yu is a man of deep thoughts. He may not be unaware of what happened this time. We just have to wait!"

She didn't intend to hide the fact that Xiao Yu was probably still alive from her son.

Everything was shrouded in fog. She couldn't see clearly, let alone act rashly.

"Yes, mother, have a good rest. I will take my leave now!"

The queen looked at the door, lost in thought.

What was Xiao Yu’s purpose in writing that letter to Yue’er?

Xiao Changshi began to recall the whole incident.

Sister Yue'er must have met the Queen Mother, and they must have talked about something.

Sister Yue'er knows there is danger and will definitely not just sit there and wait for death, so mother must know something to say that.

He was so distracted just now that he actually forgot this!

Thinking of this, Xiao Changshi felt a lot more relieved.

He walked quickly down the wooden building and came to the hall. He saw his father pretending to be sad. For some reason, he just wanted to laugh!

As long as the military order doesn't fall into the hands of his father, he doesn't care!

He still has a chance to get the military token!

He will suppress his emotions and wait to see how his father gets angry!

I sat in the hall until three o'clock in the morning, but Han Feng still didn't come back.

The emperor's eyes were already filled with impatience and fatigue, and so were the ministers accompanying him. Some of them were sitting there with their heads drooped.

If the emperor didn't sleep, the ministers didn't dare to sleep either, and could only stay there to keep him company.

Having let Xiao Yu fool around with him for so many years, he probably wanted to see Xiao Yu's corpse too much.

Xiao Changshi was just thinking when he suddenly heard Xiao Changan speak, "Father, you still have to travel tomorrow, why don't you rest early? I will stay here for you. Once there is any news about the emperor's uncle and General He, I will send someone to tell you."

The emperor rubbed his brows and praised Xiao Changan, "That's good, Prince Jing is thoughtful."

Then he said to the others, "My dear ministers, please go back as we have to travel again tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to see the emperor off.

As soon as the emperor left, the ministers helped each other up and started talking.

"Prince Jing is truly filial!"

"Thanks to King Jing, otherwise we don't know how long we would have to stay here!"

"Yes! His Royal Highness Prince Jing is really considerate!"

……

Everyone left, but Xiao Changshi was still standing there, his heart full of anger!

Just now, he wanted to do the same, but he was a step too late.

Xiao Changan is really good at acting cute!

When he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Changan looking at him with a provocative look!

Xiao Changshi snorted coldly, "Don't be complacent too soon! No matter when, I am still the crown prince!"

Xiao Changan smiled and said, "My royal brother is right."

The tone was indifferent, with a bit of disdain and contempt.

Xiao Changshi turned around and went back to his room without paying any more attention to Xiao Changan.
