Long Xiaoyuan's prediction was not wrong. In less than a month, the war over there became even clearer.

Besides, the barbarians from the north had already sent someone to deliver the letter of request for peace!

Late at night, in his bedroom, Long Xiaoyuan looked at the imperial report in his hands … He pursed his lips.

In the past 20 days, Shi Qingzhou still did not send any messages, nor did he write any letters.

Ever since he returned from sending shadow guard, Long Xiaoyuan didn't bring up his pen anymore.

Now, the Northern Barbarian had submitted a document requesting peace. Shi Qingzhou, as the queen of a nation, was still at the border, and was the most suitable person to bring the envoy back.

Shi Qingzhou... It's time to come back …

Shi Qingzhou was indeed coming back. He did not bring back a huge army, but only three thousand soldiers and the envoy of the Northern Barbarian.

Shi Qingshan was still at the border. In other words, if the peace talks did not succeed, it would be more accurate to say that Long Xiaoyuan was not satisfied and did not accept the conditions proposed by the Northern Barbarian.

Now that the Sky Dynasty was at the absolute top, the Northern Barbarian would naturally have to pay a price to negotiate with them!

However, that still depended on Long Xiaoyuan's opinion!

That night, Shi Qingshan called Shi Qingzhou to his tent.

Shi Qingshan looked at his son and sighed.

He had seen his son's silence in the past few days, so he naturally knew that his son was in a bad mood.

And the reason, he guessed, was related to the emperor, Long Xiaoyuan.

However, he didn't know how to explain his feelings to his son.

Therefore, Shi Qingshan only called him over to tell him a little about going back.

Shi Qingzhou listened quietly, and when he was done, Shi Qingshan thought about it and still warned, "Qingzhou, after we go back, with the emperor …" "Get along."

As a father, he could not say anything else.

Shi Qingzhou was silent for a moment and then nodded. Father, I understand. "

Shi Qingshan also felt heartache for his son, but...

"In the end, Shi Qingshan just patted his son's shoulder." Tomorrow morning, we will set out.

Shi Qingzhou nodded. Father, don't worry. Your son understands. "

After Shi Qingzhou left, he returned to his own tent and laid on his bed. After a long while, he closed his eyes.

As for what he thought about … Other than himself, no one else knew.

The next day, Shi Qingzhou's team departed from the border.

Five days later, Long Xiaoyuan received the news that Shi Qingzhou's team had arrived at a location fifty miles away from the Imperial City.

It could be seen that Shi Qingzhou's team walked very fast from the border pass all the way to here.

Because of the simple reason, the 3000 men led by Shi Qingzhou were able to move so quickly.

Are we almost there? Long Xiaoyuan felt a bit apprehensive.

At this moment, the eunuch at the door reported that Young Master Xu asked for an audience.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately called someone in.

Long Xiaoyuan let Xu You in. Xu You's expression was a bit gloomy.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately raised his eyebrows. What's wrong? Could he have been bullied by someone? "

Xu You pursed his lips. Brother, you don't even know? "

"Hmm? "Know what?" Long Xiaoyuan was truly shocked.

Xu You took a deep breath, "I heard some gossip..." Say I'm your male pet! Initially, I didn't think much of it. I thought that a small portion of people had misunderstood. Alright, now I've discovered … Almost everyone is thinking the same thing! "

Long Xiaoyuan was stunned, "What? "Really?"

Xu You nodded bitterly, "That's right! I don't even know how this came about! Well, there's something worse, you know? "Damn it, the rumors actually say that you have already favored me before. Damn, how is it that I do not know anything about this client of mine!"

"Eh …" Long Xiaoyuan's mouth twitched, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Thinking for a moment, Long Xiaoyuan called shadow guard out. Of course, his shout … It was actually Ying Qiu.

Why was she called Ying Qiu? That was because he knew that the other party was Shi Qingzhou's man!

Most importantly, although Long Xiaoyuan didn't think about it too much, he felt that … Since Ying Qiu was Shi Qingzhou's person in the book and had already submitted to him, then she should have told Shi Qingzhou about the situation here, right?

Thinking about this, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't help but think of the message Xu You had left him …

Then, Long Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat.

He felt as if he'd forgotten something …

For example, there had been no news from his light boat. Maybe it was because he was at loggerheads with her, or maybe … He had also received some unknown messages!

That's right, if Xu You hadn't been so angry today, would he have left such a message?

Long Xiaoyuan was slightly nervous.

In this state of anxiety, Ying Qiu was called over.

Long Xiaoyuan didn't waste any time and pointed at Xu You, asking Ying Qiu if she knew anything about the rumors in the palace.

Rumors? Listen to this noun... The usually expressionless shadow guard and Ying Qiu were all stunned.

It was the truth, how could it be a rumor?

Furthermore, with Young Master Xu's angry and humiliated appearance … Ying Qiu felt that something wasn't right.

How could Long Xiaoyuan not understand when he saw Ying Qiu's expression!

Long Xiaoyuan wailed in his heart, but his face was ashen.

"That is to say that you all know about it. Then why is it that only I, the emperor, do not know about it?"

Long Xiaoyuan's low voice was obviously filled with anger. Ying Qiu immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, he really wanted to punish him for his crimes.

But, damn it, what reason did he have?

It was a fact that he and Xu You had slept through the whole damn night after getting drunk!

Although the damned fact is a pure bed with two sides, but, you know, others do not know ah!

Long Xiaoyuan almost couldn't help but moan.

What the heck was going on!? Damn it!

Then, Long Xiaoyuan thought that Shi Qingzhou would be home soon … However, on his side …

Long Xiaoyuan stared fixedly at Ying Qiu, the kind that almost makes people scared.

Ying Qiu was shocked by his gaze.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at him blandly and said something.

"This rumor in the palace... Does the queen know? "

Ying Qiuyan fell silent.

How could Long Xiaoyuan not understand the other party's situation?

He pursed his lips.

Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, "Go down and receive your punishment."

It wasn't a death sentence, it was just a punishment … Ying Qiu was a little surprised, but she heaved a sigh of relief and went down to receive her punishment …

Long Xiaoyuan sighed towards Xu You after he went down the stairs.

"Xu You, your brother is finished too."

"Eh …" Now that the anger on Xu You's face was gone, it was a bit awkward and weird.

"That... Brother … Empress, did you misunderstand? "

"Yeah, obviously." Long Xiaoyuan felt weak.

Xu You blinked and said, "Big Brother, was it that shadow guard who informed the Queen just now?"

"You don't need to call him empress, he's a man, he probably doesn't like the title of empress either."

"Oh, then I won't call him Queen, I'll call him Brother Shi?"

"Yes, just like that." Long Xiaoyuan sighed, "Say..." What do I do? "

Xu You shook his head. Brother Shi definitely misunderstood him now … "Brother, you said it before. You promised Brother Shi that you would be together for the rest of his life. Right now, Brother Shi will definitely be very disappointed."

"Yeah, he must be very disappointed …" And very angry! " Long Xiaoyuan said with certainty. He hasn't sent me any information since he left the war. "

"What about you?" Xu You quickly asked. Did you give it to him? "

Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and shook his head. "No."

"Sigh …" Xu You sighed. Brother, this is your fault … You should have let Brother Shi win. "

"Sigh …" Long Xiaoyuan sighed once again. You don't know, you're actually very stubborn, I … Sigh, I only want to test Big Brother's position in his heart. Who knew that such a thing would happen … "I guess I really hurt him this time, sigh …"

Xu You thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, where is Brother Shi's team now?"

"Fifty Li outside the Imperial City, we'll arrive in another day."

Xu You's eyes lit up slightly. If this were the case... Brother, you can consider going out to pick him up! "

"What?" Long Xiaoyuan was surprised at first, but then he suddenly stood up. That's right … Why didn't I think that he must have misunderstood me now …? If I had been waiting at home for him to come, I would not have been sincere! You're right! I should have gone to pick him up! "

Xu You laughed. "Yes, it should be like this."

Long Xiaoyuan decided to do it as soon as he thought of it.

However, although he decided to leave immediately, as the Emperor, he still had to make arrangements.

This time, Long Xiaoyuan called Sun Youjing over.

Sun Youjing's position was raised once in the past two months. Now, he was a second rank official.

Although he was still quite far from the position of a first rank official like left phase and right phase, he was still a bit lacking.

However, with the Emperor's authority in the absence of him, there was no problem in dealing with some matters.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan had called the guy over.

Since there was only a little more than a day left, Long Xiaoyuan didn't ask for the other party's opinion and just gave him an explanation. After that, he left them in the palace and directly left …

Sun Youjing: "..." Should he be moved by the Emperor's trust or should he be speechless …

Xu You had already left for his own palace … Sleep!

Even though he really wanted to follow his elder brother to visit his elder sister-in-law …

However, he was even more afraid of getting caught in the crossfire!

The matter of the Queen winning the war bravely at the borders was something the entire imperial court did not know!

The current empress's reputation was comparable to that of Empress Taizu and Queen Wu, okay?

Therefore, Xu You was a little perturbed by such a powerful "sister-in-law".

Therefore, Xu You went straight to bed.

As for Long Xiaoyuan, he brought a few shadow guard and secretly left the palace …

Of course, he wanted to find his Queen and explain …

At a distance of fifty miles, it was easy to catch up on a fast horse. However, even though Long Xiaoyuan had the memory of a horse, it was still less glorious to convert the memory into his own ability. Most importantly, as a modern man, he was not used to horses.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan was still sitting in the carriage.

However, after using two top-notch BMWs to pull the carriage, their speed was only slightly slower than riding a horse.

Late at night, Long Xiaoyuan finally finished his journey of less than forty miles.

Why did it change from fifty li to less than forty Li?

That was because he was rushing over here, while Shi Qingzhou was also heading towards the palace!

If that was the case, the distance between the two parties would be less than forty miles!

shadow guard and Long Xiaoyuan stopped a little way from the group.

After all, Long Xiaoyuan's current identity was still very special, he couldn't just swagger over like that!

Therefore, shadow guard could only bring the opposite party and sneak in.

Stealthily infiltrating into a team of three thousand people would not be easy, even if shadow guard was powerful.

However, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want them to not know!

Besides, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want him to be exposed. The best way was to get Shi Qingzhou out!

Thus, Shi Qingzhou told shadow guard to go straight to the point!

Shi Qingzhou had already fallen asleep by this time, but shadow guard brought a secret order from the palace.

Shi Qingzhou was slightly sullen as he listened to shadow guard's secret orders.

He never expected shadow guard to let him go with him!

Shi Qingzhou slightly squinted his eyes. If he wasn't sure that this shadow guard was real and didn't pass off as someone else, he would have already ordered his men to take him down.

And because shadow guard was from Long Xiaoyuan and shadow guard was the only one who came, Shi Qingzhou only hesitated for a few seconds before following the other party secretly.

However, before he left, Shi Qingzhou still got his aide-de-camp to tell him some things.

Following shadow guard, Shi Qingzhou and the other side arrived at the place where Long Xiaoyuan's carriage had stopped.

"Queen, please get on the carriage."

Get in the car? Shi Qingzhou frowned.

However, Shi Qingzhou still opened the door of the carriage. Shi Qingzhou was stunned for a moment.

It was actually … Long Xiaoyuan?

At this moment, Long Xiaoyuan had already pulled her up …

Shi Qingzhou was stunned, so he was really pulled up by Long Xiaoyuan.

Then, Long Xiaoyuan carried her all over the place.

"Qingzhou, I missed you so much …"

Shi Qingzhou finally reacted. He clenched his fists, as if he was suppressing something. His body also became stiff.

Long Xiaoyuan was holding her, how could he not feel her stiffness?

Immediately, Long Xiaoyuan said, "Qingzhou? Are you angry with me? "

Shi Qingzhou pushed the chest away slowly but firmly.

Long Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment before becoming anxious. "Qingzhou, you received Ying Qiu's letter, right?"

Shi Qingzhou froze and wanted to deny it, but Long Xiaoyuan had already opened his mouth. Even if he denied it, was it even useful?

In the end, Shi Qingzhou did not deny it, but he did not admit it either.

Long Xiaoyuan said softly: "Qingzhou, don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you …" "I just want to say that Ying Qiu's information isn't true!"

Shi Qingzhou's eyes turned cold. He thought Long Xiaoyuan was just trying to defend himself.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly. Qingzhou, don't look at me like that, he really misunderstood! "

Shi Qingzhou frowned.

Long Xiaoyuan sighed, "I admit, I haven't contacted you on my own accord these days …" I am a little angry, but please believe me, I didn't do anything to apologize. I just felt a little awkward. I didn't know how to contact you in the beginning … After that, there was no contact … "

Saying this, Long Xiaoyuan felt a little awkward, but his gaze was sincere.

Shi Qingzhou was stunned, Long Xiaoyuan touched his nose. Furthermore, you didn't contact me … It's not all my fault, is it? "

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Long Xiaoyuan went over and pulled his opponent's hand. Shi Qingzhou's body stiffened. However, he might have thought of something, but he didn't manage to avoid Long Xiaoyuan's hand in the end.

Long Xiaoyuan thought that the other party was not angry and forgave him. However, he did not notice the dark glint in Shi Qingzhou's eyes.

No matter how many novels Long Xiaoyuan read, he had never truly been in a relationship. Thus, his lover's thoughts … He really didn't know much about it!

Shi Qingzhou slowly lowered his eyelids, and Long Xiaoyuan pulled his opponent's hand and said, "Qingzhou, that was really a misunderstanding. Xu You, oh, that's the one I brought into the palace, he's a little brother.

"Little brother?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. That's right, he's just my younger brother. "

Shi Qingzhou did not reply. Long Xiaoyuan explained the process of him getting to know Xu You, the matter of him being chased down by the Heaven Concealment Castle, and then the matter of him bringing him back to the palace … I told you everything.

Shi Qingzhou listened quietly and said slowly: "If that's the case …" Why did you arrange for him to be in the Yuchang Hall? "

"Because that place is close to the Kunning Palace, you can take care of him when you return, and it is also rather far from the concubines in the harem. He's a boy after all, so it's not convenient for him to stay with the women in the harem, right?"

Was it because of this consideration? Shi Qingzhou was slightly shocked.

Long Xiaoyuan pulled his hand and said, "Qingzhou, I'm here to bring you back …"

Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly. How can you say that? "My team is all here, how can I go back right now …"

"This …" Long Xiaoyuan smiled in embarrassment. "Yeah, I forgot about that."

Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly again. "Your majesty, the outer room is not safe for the night here. It's better for your majesty to return earlier."

"How can that be!" Long Xiaoyuan immediately said. I have already come out, so I will definitely return with you. Qingzhou, let's go to your tent. "

Shi Qingzhou's gaze slightly flickered, but he still refused.

"Your majesty, there are many people in the team. If you come with me, you'll be discovered. Not good."

Long Xiaoyuan frowned. I'll get a mask. "

Shi Qingzhou saw that the other party was so persistent, so he frowned and thought back to what the other party just said that misunderstood. In the end, Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything and silently agreed to Long Xiaoyuan's stay.

Long Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh of relief...

As he thought about it, he decided to stay. It wasn't that he didn't see that Shi Qingzhou wasn't worried about him.

However, he had a clear conscience and... To make peace, one had to spend time together!

Thus, staying here is just the first step. As long as you remain here, there will always be a chance for you! They still had a day to get along.

Besides, wouldn't living with the other party make more sense?

Long Xiaoyuan was quite satisfied with this result … Everything else, take it slow!
