Chapter 421 Whereabouts
Yingliu closed her eyes, leaned against the car wall, took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
"Your Majesty, how can I stand by his side with my current status? He is going to fight for the position of the emperor, but I will not be a concubine, and I cannot tolerate him having other women around him. Even if he doesn't have them in his heart, I can't accept it.
Why torture each other anymore? "
As she spoke, Yingliu curled the corners of her mouth.
There were tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, and the crystal clearness on her pale face was particularly heartbreaking.
She smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, with my status, can the royal family of Da Qi tolerate me? Which group of court officials can tolerate me? If I go back to him, what else can I do except bring him more troubles?"
Su Qingqing felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Yingliu and Moduo, their relationship was as passionate as it is heartbreaking now.
Being apart is heartbreaking, being together is even more painful.
"then……"
Su Qingqing placed her palm on Yingliu's back of the hand, which was icy cold to the bone.
But before Su Qingqing could finish her words, Ying Liu held Su Qingqing's hand, opened her eyes, and looked at her with clear eyes, "My queen, I have never regretted my choice back then. If I were allowed to choose again, even if I had not lost my memory and forgotten that period, I would still make the same choice.
This is the best option for him and me.
Only in this way can I keep telling myself that there is absolutely no chance anymore and I don’t need to think about it anymore.”
Yingliu's voice was choked with sobs as she grabbed Su Qingqing's hand with such force that Su Qingqing felt pain in her fingers, but she did not move and let Yingliu hold her.
"My queen, whenever I think that he and I still have a chance to be together, even for a little while, I feel as if my heart has been hollowed out. I will keep thinking about everything about him and me, the past, the present, and the future. I can't stop thinking about it, but I don't want to think about it."
God knows how painful she was during those days after her memory was restored .
Su Qingqing hummed, "Don't want to think about it anymore, let's not think about it anymore, let's go back to Kyoto."
Jixiang stood up and sat next to Yingliu, holding her in his arms. Yingliu hugged Jixiang and started crying.
While Jixiang gently stroked Yingliu's back to comfort her, he firmly believed in his heart: love is too terrible, cherish life and stay away from love.
Minghe, who was far away in Kyoto, was practicing martial arts when he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
The journey from Yulin to Kyoto was tiring, with many stops and walks. By the time Su Qingqing returned to Beijing, the year was over.
The last time she went to Guangdong and Guangxi was to solve the flood problem. At that time, only Rong Que brought Ming and Ming Lu to greet them outside the capital. This time, Su Qingqing solved the problem of national grain circulation, stabilized the national grain prices and the impending riots.
On the day Su Qingqing returned to the capital, Rong Que led all the civil and military officials and waited ten miles outside the city gate early in the morning.
He Chao stood beside Rong Que and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Bai Er has been found. Two of my spies found his traces in the West Mountain at midnight yesterday. If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to capture him today."
Duke Xue was captured and was originally going to be executed after being brought back to Kyoto. However, a riot was about to break out due to the food problem. At this juncture, killing Duke Xue would most likely cause public outrage. Rong Que did not take action and just kept him locked up.
Bai Er, the steward in charge of Yulin's operations at Duke Xue's Mansion, ran away and has not been seen since.
He Chao monitored the two girls in that house , but during the days when Bai Er was away, the two girls lived peacefully as if nothing had happened.
He Chao's patience was almost worn out. Su Qingqing was about to return from Yulin with her mission accomplished, and he couldn't have no progress at all.
As a result, just when He Chao was planning to arrest , he received news that Bai Er had been found.
Rong Que twisted his fingers, his eyes fixed on the official road in the distance. At the end of the official road, there was not even a black spot. "Keep an eye on those two girls. After Bai Er is arrested, immediately pass the news to them."
He Chao said: "It has been arranged."
After a pause, he glanced at Minghe behind Rong Que.
The emperor is standing here with a restless look on his face. He is waiting for the queen. Why do you, a guard, look even more restless than the emperor?
Frowning, He Chao continued, "In addition, according to our deployment, Qingyue has already found out the whereabouts of the legitimate princess of Daqi and contacted the royal family of Daqi. Judging from the speed of Daqi, I'm afraid they will come to hold us accountable in a few days."
Rong Que had a smile on his face.
The Minister of Rites escorted the legitimate princess of Da Qi back to Da Qi, but the person he was delivering ended up getting lost.
The person did not return to Da Qi nor was he in Dayan.
The Great Qi knew clearly that the Great Yan was up to something, but on the one hand, they had solid evidence that the princess had committed a crime, and on the other hand, the person had indeed been sent away. Even if they wanted to go and ask for an explanation, they had no reason to do so.
Before Su Qingqing left, she mentioned that she wanted to hold a banquet attended by royal families from several countries.
Rong Que set up a maze for Qingyue according to the progress made by Su Qingqing. As long as Qingyue revealed the whereabouts of the Princess of Da Qi to the royal family of Da Qi, the other side would definitely take action.
He Chao said, sighing, with an unconcealed worry in his tone, "It's just one thing, the queen's body, I'm afraid it's time to give birth, they just need to not come when the queen is about to give birth.
Although the palace is heavily guarded, many of the eunuchs and maids in the palace are still old, so it is inevitable that they will take advantage of the situation, and the queen cannot give birth to a child in the Su family army."
Rong Que has long wanted to reshuffle the people in the palace, and they are indeed being gradually updated and replaced, but the speed is too slow.
There are a large number of eunuchs and maids in the palace. If one wants to reshuffle them all, firstly, a reasonable reason is needed to send them out, and secondly, there are not so many suitable new people to fill the positions.
As the two were talking, Minghe, who had been standing behind Rong Que with an uneasy look on his face, suddenly took a step forward.
That posture was like a wild dog ready to run away immediately.
Minglu grabbed him and said, "What are you doing!"
Minghe stared straight ahead and his breathing became rapid.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd became agitated, and a voice reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen is back!"
With a shout, Rong Que looked into the distance.
At the end of the official road, a small black dot finally appeared.
Rong Que took a step forward, pulled the horse that had been prepared nearby, and climbed on.
Last time, Minghe got the first chance, but this time, Rong Que whipped the horse and ran out without waiting for Minghe to react.
The chilly spring temperature brought a bone-chilling chill as the horse galloped, but Rong Que was sweating all over.
During this year, the couple broke up and got back together again, and spent only a few months together.
This person finally came back.
