She knew that she couldn't push him too hard. Her son was not close to her to begin with, and pushing him any further would only alienate him further from her.
"Then shall I send someone to escort you away?"
Seeing that Qian Jue had no intention of speaking, the Queen asked softly.
Try to talk to him more.
"I just want to protect your safety, nothing else."
Worried that some people might misunderstand, the Queen explained.
"No need," Qian Jue refused directly, "We all know martial arts, we don't need anyone to protect us."
The Queen smiled bitterly, nodded, and spoke in a low voice.
"That's right. Cousin Yao'er is Uncle Wang's daughter. How could she not have martial arts skills?"
She put away her bitter smile, walked to Concubine Xian, took her hand, and stared into her eyes.
"Take care on your journey."
Concubine Xian nodded and said, "Take care of yourself too. See you later."
Watching several people get on the carriage, the empress stood at the palace gate, her eyes fell on the moving carriage. Finally, she couldn't help it, so she stepped up to catch up and blocked Qian Jue's carriage.
Qian Jue felt the carriage stop and lifted the curtain. Seeing this, the Queen quickly walked to the side of the carriage.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
He asked with a calm expression and doubt.
"When will you return to Li Country?"
The Queen looked at his face, which was similar to the Queen's, and spoke with some trepidation.
In fact, she wanted to ask this question just now, but she was afraid that Qian Jue would think she was controlling him, so she held back.
But if she didn't ask, she was worried that he would never come back.
"uncertain."
Qian Jue didn't say anything too decisive. Facing the empress's uneasy expression, he softened his tone a little.
"uncertain?"
The Queen's expression was lost at first, and then a hint of joy appeared.
“I’m not sure, but I’ll come back.”
Qian Jue didn't respond. He lifted the curtain and looked at the queen quietly, as if asking her if she had anything else to say.
Seeing that he did not refute her, the Queen felt better and her uneasiness gradually dissipated.
"Take care and wait for your return."
Qian Jue lowered the curtain, isolating the empress's face from outside. The carriage started again and slowly drove away from the palace.
The queen stood at the palace gate and watched the rear of the carriage disappear completely around the corner of the palace gate.
She moved her feet, and a look of loneliness appeared in her eyes as the carriage disappeared.
Ling Le stood beside her and called out softly.
"Your Majesty, please go back."
The Queen sighed, as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was asking Ling Le.
"Will Jue'er come back?"
Ling Le glanced at the Queen and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Highness will definitely return. You don't have to worry too much. The important thing now is to take care of the next things."
The queen put away her loneliness and laughed.
"You're right. I should deal with this mess in Li Country."
She wants to give Jue'er a beautiful and prosperous Li Kingdom.
As the two were talking, the Prime Minister got off the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
She ran towards the two of them while calling out to the Queen.
When the queen heard the voice, she stopped and turned to look at the prime minister, who was wearing an official robe, holding the hem of his robe with one hand and running towards her quickly.
"What is the Prime Minister in such a hurry for?"
The Prime Minister stopped in front of the Queen, saluted, and looked around.
"Your Majesty, where are the little princess and His Highness?"
"They've already left."
The Prime Minister was annoyed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Oh, I'm still a step too late. Why did you leave so quickly?"
When she heard that a few people were about to leave, she rushed to the palace, but she was still a step too late.
"Do you have something to do with them?"
The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at the annoyed prime minister.
"I want the little princess to persuade His Highness to stay. What if His Highness doesn't come back after leaving?"
"No, he will come back."
After the Queen finished speaking, she raised her hand and patted the Prime Minister's shoulder.
"The future of Li Kingdom still depends on the Prime Minister."
Seeing the empress's high-spirited look, the prime minister was stunned.
…
After Yu Yiluo and his companions' carriage left the imperial capital a hundred miles away, they parted ways with Crown Prince and Concubine Xian.
Empress Xian took Yu Yiluo off the carriage and handed her over to Qian Jue.
"Mr. Qian, you must take good care of Luo'er."
Yu Yiluo hugged Concubine Xian tightly and kissed her on the cheek.
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely return safely."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried, but Empress Xian knew that Luo'er was unavoidable.
Mu Xue doesn't know martial arts, and the Third Prince is weak now. If they really encounter danger, their lives will be in danger.
"Protect yourself well."
Empress Xian touched her head and kissed her forehead.
"Okay, mother, just wait for me to return to the palace. I will send you a letter."
Qian Jue took Yu Yiluo and said something to Concubine Xian to reassure her, then looked at the prince.
"I will protect Luo'er, don't worry, leave Luo'er to me."
"Thank you very much."
"What are you thanking me for? Luo'er is my cousin, and Muxue is my junior sister. No matter which one, they are my relatives. Prince, you don't need to thank me."
"Luo'er, contact us via letter."
The prince watched the two of them get on the carriage and said to Concubine Xian, "Your Majesty, please get in the carriage."
Empress Xian looked back every few steps as she got into the carriage. She didn't lower the curtain until Yu Yiluo and Qian Jue's carriage drove away in the opposite direction. She said in a calm voice, "Drive."
…
Ever since Yu Yiluo got on Qian Jue's carriage, Qian Jue has been talking non-stop.
Sometimes he asked her if she was hungry or thirsty, and sometimes he asked her if she wanted to go to the toilet or sleep.
It made her feel like a fly was buzzing.
"Cousin, have you always been so noisy?"
"Am I noisy?"
