Chapter 195 Resigning
Hong Yao was surprised: "So, you're leaving without telling the Crown Prince? But the Crown Prince clearly has feelings for you... I thought you two could achieve a happy ending. Why did you..."
Lin Qingyue smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to repay his kindness, so I want to break up. Besides, I have important things to do."
"Deputy Envoy Lin..." Hong Yao's eyes were red, and she was reluctant to leave.
Lin Qingyue stood up, straightened the hem of her skirt, and said, "Alright, I've explained everything I need to. It's time for me to go now. See you later!"
She waved her hand and walked out the door. Soon, the figure in black blended into the night and could no longer be found.
He lets go of fame, wealth and power at will, and is so carefree as if he doesn't care about anything.
But before getting on the carriage, she couldn't help but look in the direction of the Eastern Palace. If nothing unexpected happened, Dongfang Qi was currently under house arrest in the Eastern Palace.
Flying Corpse Silkworm - It was supposed to be extinct three thousand years ago, why did it reappear?
Before Yan Qiuer died, Lin Qingyue actually invaded her sea of consciousness and quickly reviewed her past memories.
As a result, I learned a lot about Guiyuan Sect.
Guiyuan Sect's missionary model, its method of controlling believers, and its development trajectory are exactly the same as those created by those false gods 3,000 years ago.
Are they the later generations imitating the old ways, or are the remnants of the evil from thousands of years ago reviving again?
Back then, Qingyue had paid such a huge price, nearly risking her life to rebuild everything. There was no way she could let the past happen again.
Therefore, she had to go to Guifang Country, find the headquarters of Guiyuan Sect, and find out the details of the so-called Guiyuan God.
But if the other party is really related to the immortal cultivation world 3,000 years ago, his strength should not be underestimated.
However, her current cultivation level is less than one tenth of what it was before, and her future is uncertain.
Dongfang Qi was deeply in love with her. If he knew she was going on an adventure, he would definitely not let her go. Or, would he go on an adventure with her?
No matter which one it is, it is not what Lin Qingyue wants to see.
In her previous life, she had let down many people, and in this life, she didn't want to owe any debt of love.
So, she took the opportunity to talk about the Flying Corpse Silkworm Case with Emperor Zhao of Qi to reveal her own thoughts and asked Emperor Zhao of Qi to play a double act with her.
So later on, she was stripped of her title of princess because of her misbehavior in front of the king.
Only when things get out of hand will it be natural for me to resign and leave.
When she proposed this plan, Emperor Zhao of Qi was puzzled:
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to be a leisurely prince in Qi? Why take the risk of traveling so far to Guifang? Guifang is far away in the Western Regions. Even if there's a cult causing trouble, it won't affect our Qi."
"And the Crown Prince, he's truly devoted to you, even willing to defile himself for you. Humph, he thinks he's doing everything perfectly, but I know it all!"
"And that time, when he publicly rejected Fengguo's marriage proposal, he was thinking of you—but luckily he refused. Our Qi Kingdom really can't afford Princess Lingxue!"
"When he refused the marriage proposal, you helped him. Afterwards, he was worried that I would blame you for it, so he explained it to me for a long time."
"In fact, at that time, I had already softened my heart and was willing to fulfill your wish."
"But you, on the other hand, abandoned such a good son of mine and resigned. Why did you do that? Tell me, why is it that my son is not worthy of your attention?"
Lin Qingyue hadn't expected that Emperor Qi Zhao would actually tell her so many heartfelt words. He even tacitly agreed to Dongfang Qi marrying her?
She had originally thought that an unruly woman like herself would never be in the emperor's eyes. When she proposed to leave, Emperor Zhao of Qi should have set off firecrackers to celebrate!
It turned out that I had underestimated Emperor Zhao of Qi's mind.
Dongfang Qi is really lucky to have such a father.
"Your Majesty, the prince's love for me stems solely from my rescue when he was in trouble. If it had been another woman instead of me who saved him, he would have fallen in love with her just as well."
"And I..." She smiled bitterly, "Love in this world is like yesterday's sunset to me, it can't be retrieved. I will never fall in love with anyone again in this life, so I don't want to ruin his life."
"As for going to Guifang Country... this is my obsession, and I must personally end it. Perhaps, people like me are destined not to enjoy peace."
Finally, under Lin Qingyue's insistence, Emperor Qi Zhao nodded in agreement.
After performing a duet with Lin Qingyue, Emperor Zhao of Qi took the opportunity to put Dongfang Qi in solitary confinement.
"Goodbye, Dongfangqi." She whispered softly towards the dark night, towards the direction of the East Palace.
Then, she jumped onto the carriage and slapped a guide talisman on the horse's butt. The horse then automatically went out of the city without a driver.
The night breeze was cool and blew in through the window.
Lin Qingyue couldn't help but think back to the first time she saw Dongfang Qi.
He was clearly a lonely soul attached to a cat, but he still wanted to meddle in other people's business and rescue a woman who was bullied by a gangster, and as a result, he almost lost his soul.
Perhaps because she saw the purity and goodness in him, Lin Qingyue was willing to help him find his lost soul.
Later, they left the city together and headed for the Land of Red Shadow.
On the small road outside the city, she saw him for the first time in his human form: the man in white stood beside the car with his hands behind his back, like a banished immortal, silently waiting for her to come in, as if he had been waiting for a very long time.
On the way to the Red Shadow Land, Lin Qingyue, Dongfang Qi and Xie Shouzheng laughed and cursed all the way, and they couldn't help but take action when they saw injustice.
But now, on the same road out of the city, she was alone.
Emperor Zhao of Qi said that he would put Dongfang Qi under house arrest for half a month.
So, half a month later when he left the Eastern Palace, Lin Qingyue should have left the border of Qi State.
I don’t know if he will have married and had children when I see him again next time?
Or maybe, never see you again?
Lin Qingyue laughed at herself: Why do I always have to think about him? We are from two different worlds, we just happened to meet, and we are destined to be apart. Why should we leave too many ties?
She pointed her finger, and the horse outside the carriage neighed loudly and accelerated.
