"What? It's over?"
Zuo Yaohe didn't believe it, "You're lying! You definitely didn't tell me. You're so cunning and lazy. Be careful, I'll kick you out of the palace when I get back to the Queen!"
After all, she was a senior palace maid. After being provoked by Zuo Yaohe so many times, she no longer remained polite and taunted, "Miss Zuo, why don't you understand? If the queen liked you, why would she leave you alone in the side room? You actually came here to ask for trouble, and even got us scolded for being ignorant. Tsk tsk, you really are a petty person who has never seen the world."
"Who are you talking about?"
Zuo Yaohe had been spoiled by Dongji Jun and was so lawless that she could not swallow this humiliation and slapped him in the face.
With a "pop", half of the palace maid's face immediately swelled up. Even so, Zuo Yaohe was still not satisfied and wanted to take action again.
The surrounding maids stepped forward to stop him, "Stop, stop."
Just as the outside was in chaos, a majestic voice rang out, "Stop!"
When they saw the person coming, the palace maids stopped and knelt on the ground.
The queen looked coldly at Zuo Yaohe, who was holding her personal maid, and suppressed her anger and said, "Miss Zuo, what are you doing?"
Zuo Yaohe saw that the queen still did not repent, and even complained with a licking face, "Queen, she spoke disrespectfully to me, I was just teaching her a lesson on your behalf."
"Oh, it seems that I am not good at managing my subordinates, and I have caused Miss Zuo trouble."
Although the queen did not get angry, anyone could hear the coldness in her words.
Zuo Yaohe realized that she had said the wrong thing and tried to explain, "That's not what I meant. As the queen, it's inevitable that there are things that I can't take care of when I'm in charge of the harem. I don't mind."
Not only the queen, but even Su Man couldn't bear to look at such low EQ remarks.
Traffic light rolled his eyes and said, "Stupid crow."
As expected, the queen's expression grew even uglier after hearing this. "As long as Miss Zuo is satisfied, I'm glad. I have important matters to discuss with Elder Li, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
"Hey, Queen, Your Majesty..."
Zuo Yaohe watched the queen and her entourage leave, leaving her alone to be laughed at.
-
However, the queen did not take Zuo Yaohe too seriously. As soon as she arrived at the inner hall, she dismissed her attendants.
This time she didn't play tricks and said directly, "Elder Li, we asked you not only to ask for medicine for the king, but also to save Qinyun."
"Prince?"
It turned out that when Qian Qinyun heard that the king had been saved, he immediately led his troops to the top of the extremely cold mountain to search for treasure.
When he left, he said he would not put himself in danger and would be back soon.
But who knew that he would be gone for half a month, and search and rescue teams went one after another, but there was no news of Qian Qinyun.
"When my brother entered the Extreme Cold Peak, my mother was afraid that he might get into trouble, so she brought all the high-level spirit beasts with him. Most of the spirit beasts that went in to search and rescue were mid- and low-level spirit beasts, which couldn't get in at all, so we could only search outside."
Speaking of this, Qian Qimeng's face was also stained with worry. "We didn't dare to tell father this news, for fear that he would not be able to bear it."
The queen patted Qian Qimeng's back gently as a comfort, then turned to Su Man and said, "The king is seriously ill, and the prince's whereabouts are unknown. If anyone with ulterior motives knew about this, I'm afraid the entire Spirit Beast Kingdom would be in turmoil. That's why I haven't told the truth to the elders yet."
After hearing this, Su Man finally understood everything. No wonder the queen kept testing her. She must be afraid that she was unreliable and would leak the news.
Her husband and son met with misfortunes one after another, and the burden of the country fell on the shoulders of a woman like the queen. She had to walk on thin ice every step of the way, fearing that if she was not careful, she would die without a burial place.
The queen looked ashamed. "The elders have worked so hard for us, even risking their lives. We are hiding this from them. It is really unacceptable."
Su Man smiled, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to easily entrust my life and property to someone like that. Now that the Queen has told me such a secret, I will do my best to rescue the prince."
Perhaps because the secret was revealed, the queen's emotions also appeared, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you."
Su Man said softly, "Please take care of yourself, Queen. The prince is blessed by heaven and will surely return safely."
“…”
After comforting the queen, Su Man and Qian Qimeng retreated.
To ensure safety, they decided to rest for one night and set off to the top of the extreme cold tomorrow morning.
Although the queen arranged accommodation for Su Man, Qian Qimeng abducted her to her own bedroom halfway.
Su Man knew that she was worried about Qian Qinyun and wanted to talk to someone, so she didn't refuse.
Even Mimi was particularly obedient and was rubbed quietly.
At night, Su Man and Qian Qimeng lay side by side on the golden nanmu bed.
In the darkness, Qian Qimeng blinked, "Tell me, is my brother still alive?"
Su Man didn't say anything. In a place like the Extreme Cold Peak, even Dongji Jun and Yi Niao couldn't get the upper hand, let alone Qian Qinyun, a mere spirit beast master.
Fortunately, Qian Qimeng was still optimistic and comforted herself, "They brought plenty of supplies, so they should be fine. Maybe they just got lost."
Su Man followed her words and said, "If that's the case, we can just go in and bring the prince out tomorrow."
"Yes, once the prince is rescued, you can get married."
Suman???
Speaking of the wedding, Qian Qimeng's attention was also diverted, and she even began to plan where Su Man would live in the future and what she would do every day.
Seeing that she was more energetic, Su Man did not refute much, but listened quietly until Qian Qimeng could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
-
The next morning, while Qian Qimeng was still sound asleep, Su Man got up quietly. She wanted to follow Qian Qimeng, fearing she would wake her up.
On the bed, Qian Qimeng was sleeping with her arms and legs spread out with her arms and legs hugging Mimi. Su Man covered them both with a quilt and walked out with her shoes in her hand.
As soon as she closed the door of the bedroom, Su Man turned around and saw the traffic light.
It stood in the morning sun, raised its noble head, and looked more like a master than Suman, its master, and said, "Let's go."
Su Man smiled, "Thank you, Master Warcraft, for accompanying me."
The traffic light uttered an arrogant nasal sound, "Hmph, you're so long-winded."
Outside the palace
The queen was counting the guards and spirit beasts that accompanied her.
Although the highest level only has high-level spirit beasts, Su Man knows that these are the last forces that the Spirit Beast Kingdom can send out.
Zuo Yaohe, who had arrived late, chuckled when she saw these people. "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry so much. Before I left, Master gave me the Yi Bird to send. Now that we have the Heavenly Spirit Beast, we naturally don't need these low-level spirit beasts."
The queen was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and turned to Su Man and said, "I have prepared food and clothes. Remember to change into cotton clothes when you go inside."
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. It's getting late, we must set off."
"Then I will wait for the elder's good news."
Su Man said meaningfully, "Don't worry, we will definitely bring the 'Spiritual Treasure' back."
The queen and Suman exchanged a look that only they understood, "Okay."
Zuo Yaohe saw the interaction between them and felt dissatisfied.
Humph, wait until I find the king’s life-saving magic weapon before you, and then we’ll see how you can still be so proud.
