Meeting Royal Brother’s searching gaze, Hu Xiao pursed her lips into a smile, and calmly said: "Royal Brother, I have made up with him, in the future, Qin Shuo will be your brother-in-law."

"Settled? "You guys aren’t leaving anymore?" King of the South Yue raised his voice and shouted. His voice was filled with surprise and disappointment.

It was settled! Qin Shuo had only come to South Yue once, so the two of them were at peace!

Hu Xiao pretended not to see his reaction, and continued: That’s right, from now on I won’t trouble Royal Brother to introduce me to a young genius, I still love him, and am willing to live with him for the rest of my life.

Hearing her words, the King of the South Yue remained silent and did not make a move. This was outside of Hu Xiao’s considerations, she even had to say it if she agreed, why was it like a mute, she did not even want to say anything.

"Royal Brother, I want to return to the East Court with him. You won’t reject my request, right?" Hu Xiao shamelessly asked. Actually, no matter whether King of the South Yue agreed or not, she would still go back.

She asking Royal Brother was just giving him face, she had always kept her word.

King of the South Yue let out a cold snort, and directly sent Hu Xiao away. From start to finish, he did not express his attitude.

Although he did not express his attitude, Hu Xiao could tell that the Royal Brother did not agree with him.

After Hu Xiao left, King of the South Yue immediately sent people to find Hu Qi. At this time, Hu Qi was not in the palace, he was staying in the inn to circle around Ling Hua.

Ling Hua was extremely annoyed by him, she came to the tavern everyday to find her. Even if it was wind and rain, it wouldn’t be able to stop him.

The guards found Hu Qi at the tavern and brought him to where he was. When Hu Qi heard this, he was extremely surprised.

"Has the Emperor said anything else?" Hu Qi frowned and did not give up. He hadn’t had enough fun with Ling Hua yet, and returning to the palace this early, he was reluctant to part with him.

He thought, if Royal Father has nothing else, then I will go back later and stay with Ling Hua for a while.

However, the guard was unable to explain anything. The emperor had instructed him to call the crown prince over, but he did not say why he wanted to call the crown prince here!

"Crown Prince, the Emperor only sent his subordinate to look for you after the princess came out of the Imperial Study."

With his words, Hu Qi immediately understood that this matter was definitely related to Hu Xiao.

Fine, since it has something to do with my aunt, then I’ll make a trip myself!

After seeing Hu Qi, King of the South Yue told him about the peace between Hu Xiao and himself, and even told him about the misgivings in his heart.

Hearing that, Hu Qi lowered his head and rolled his eyes, there was nothing to discuss, it was his aunt’s choice, the one to go to East Court is his aunt, not you, Royal Father!

Naturally, Hu Qi did not dare to say these words out loud.

"Royal Father, you worry too much. Aunt is a cautious person, she has lived with King of the East Court for a period of time, so he naturally knows King of the East Court better than you do. She is willing to return to the East Court, which means that Aunt has something to linger around, don’t worry, Royal Father."

Hu Qi cupped his hands and said seriously, he felt that the Emperor was being too worried. Hu Xiao had already experienced many setbacks and had the ability to differentiate others. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Seeing that the King of the South Yue was hesitating, Hu Qi took the chance and continued, "Royal Father, Aunt is not young anymore, we need to believe in her."

The King of the South Yue no longer spoke, and without a word, Hu Qi slowly retreated. Just as he exited the Imperial Study, a guard came rushing towards him, as if something big had happened.

With a thump, the guard knelt in front of Hu Qi, then quickly said: "Crown Prince, it’s bad. The Three Kingdoms’ envoy encountered an assassination, go take a look."

After listening, Hu Qi was shocked. His good mood today had been completely lost in an instant. The Three Kingdoms’ envoys had been assassinated, and they had been assassinated in his territory.

There was actually such a thing happening under the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Hu Qi asked while walking: "What’s going on, have you caught the culprit yet?"

His heart was in a mess. He wanted nothing more than to grow wings and run over. What was going on? He was ambushed, these people were too daring!

"Reporting to the crown prince, this is under investigation. The culprit has yet to be found out." The guard took a breath and replied respectfully.

The incident had just happened, so the culprit hadn’t been caught yet. The first thing he did was to go to the palace and tell the crown prince about it. Right now, he didn’t know much about the situation of the relay stations.

"Is there any injury to the messenger from the station?" Hu Qi asked nervously. If there were no casualties, that would be fine. But South Yue meant that he had to give the other three nations an explanation.

"Crown Prince, the house is full of blood. We don’t know the exact number of casualties."

These words were like an iron hammer that heavily smashed into Hu Qi’s heart. He turned around and sat on his horse, then quickly rushed towards the relay station.

On the way, he met someone.

"Crown Prince, Princess is in front." The guard warned, afraid that the crown prince would be in too much of a hurry to catch up, so he did not see Hu Xiao.

"Aunt!" Hu Qi shouted loudly, attracting Hu Xiao’s attention. Sure enough, upon hearing his voice, Hu Xiao turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Qi’er, where are you going? You’re in such a hurry to leave!" Hu Xiao did not know about the situation at the relay station, and was sitting on a horse and strolling leisurely.

Hu Qi immediately told her about the inn, causing her to freeze when she heard it. At that moment, he only had Qin Shuo in her eyes, she was only worried about Qin Shuo’s safety.

"Is Qin Shuo alright?" Hu Xiao asked nervously, hoping to get a negative answer.

She didn’t want anything to happen to Qin Shuo, she just wanted the unharmed Qin Shuo.

"I don’t know" Hu Qi shook his head, his face was filled with anxiousness, but because he didn’t know, he was in a rush to understand the situation.

"Then I’ll go with you." Saying that, Hu Xiao galloped on her horse and disappeared without a trace.

She was worried about Qin Shuo, afraid that Qin Shuo would also be assassinated, she hated herself why her steed was not running faster, she was too slow, it was not like she was a horse!

"Hurry up! So slow!" Hu Xiao’s heart became more anxious. When she panicked, she felt that the speed of the mount was slow.

Hu Qi followed closely behind her, but he couldn’t catch up to her no matter what.

At this moment, the relay stations were in chaos. They were running and shouting, and the scene was as chaotic as if it was a market.

Hu Xiao opened her eyes wide, the whole house was looking for Qin Shuo, her heart was thumping hard, at that moment, she was truly afraid, she was afraid that the person who was in trouble was her husband, she knew Qin Shuo’s martial arts was powerful, but there would always be times where he would fail.

In the midst of the chaos, Hu Qi grabbed one of the guards and asked him about the situation of the relay station.

"Reporting to the crown prince, two are dead and one is injured. The main officer of the relay station and the female official of West Frontier have been killed, while the first prince of North Qiang is injured." The guard didn’t even have time to greet them and immediately told Hu Qi about the number of casualties.
