After the meal.
Qu Shaoyu put on the sword that Yin Yi handed him.
Ning Qing looked at the man in black who had suddenly appeared in the room.
Raise an eyebrow.
"Your subordinate has a strong lower body and light steps; he's well-trained."
Qu Shaoyu, "He is a member of the Dragon Hidden Guard and has been trained by a specialist since childhood."
The Dragon Guard is a mysterious organization, unknown to outsiders, and many are unaware of its existence because they only obey the current emperor and are responsible for protecting his personal safety.
Normally, they are like the king's shadow, always by his side. When the king is in danger, they will suddenly appear from all directions and swiftly kill the thieves.
Each generation of Dragon Shadow Guards accompanies a generation of emperors. When an emperor passes away, the Dragon Shadow Guards will follow him to the imperial mausoleum to guard his tomb for the rest of their lives, never to step out of the imperial mausoleum.
After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will also have a brand new batch of Dragon Guards.
Ning Qing's eyes flickered. "You're faking illness right now. Except for the morning court session, you shouldn't appear in public at other times."
Qu Shaoyu seemed to be deep in thought.
"Then how do I get out?"
Ning Qing's eyes were filled with a smile.
"Why don't you point the way and I'll carry you there? That way, no one will find out where you are."
After pondering for a moment, Qu Shaoyu finally nodded.
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
Ning Qing smiled a barely perceptible smile of satisfaction.
Ning Qing bent down and picked up Qu Shaoyu, who was a full head shorter than her, in one scoop.
Qu Shaoyu's eyes widened instantly.
He gripped Ning Qing's sleeve tightly with one hand, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
"Qing...brother, could you please stop hugging me like this?"
Ning Qing pretended not to understand.
"Is there a problem with holding it like this?"
Qu Shaoyu tried to organize his thoughts.
"Holding me like this... this way, it looks just like I'm holding a girl."
Ning Qing lowered her eyes and carefully examined the person in her arms.
After a moment, he nodded and then shook his head.
Qu Shaoyu was completely baffled by her.
"What do you mean by this? Why are you nodding and shaking your head?"
Ning Qing answered in a very serious manner.
"You are much prettier than those young girls; none of them are as pretty as you."
Upon hearing this, Qu Shaoyu's delicate and pretty face turned bright red.
Was it anger or shame?
While glaring angrily at Ning Qing, she bit her lip hard with her pearly white teeth.
"You...you".
Ning Qing smiled.
“You can also say I’m prettier than a young girl, and I don’t mind.”
Qu Shaoyu muttered something in a low, menacing tone.
"brazen".
As Ning Qing's light laughter subsided, she leaped out of the window and disappeared into the palace.
Before long, following Qu Shaoyu's directions, Ning Qing arrived at a remote and dilapidated cold palace.
Ning Qing looked around and thought, "This place is indeed quiet."
Seeing that they had reached their destination, Qu Shaoyu struggled to get down from Ning Qing's arms.
"You can put me down now."
Unexpectedly, Ning Qing looked down at the weeds on the ground, which were half a person tall, and spoke.
"No, the grass here is tall and messy, and we don't know if there are snakes, rats, insects and ants hiding in it."
With that, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped onto a large tree in the courtyard.
Tell Qu Shaoyu to sit down and wait.
He then took out a small black sword from the system space and began... uh... chopping grass.
With each strike of sword energy, the weeds in the courtyard fell down.
