Doctor Wu couldn't help but tremble his hands. To be honest, it was quite spectacular to see such a group of people coming towards them.
The people in the nearby tea stalls also heard the noise at this moment, and many of them stood up and stuck their heads out into the distance.
"Oh my god, why are there so many soldiers coming up ahead?"
Someone unconsciously put down their tea bowl and asked, "Should we run away before we get into any trouble?"
"It's probably too late to run now."
"Don't panic. The general may be capturing a fugitive or has some other mission. We are so close to the capital, no one would dare to kill innocent people."
"Yier, Mr. Wu, how are you?"
The emperor came on horseback, pulled the reins, and stopped in front of them, looking down at them with deep eyes.
She wore a long veil that obscured her face and figure.
But the emperor knew it was her at first sight.
The intense longing I've felt during this period of time has reached its peak at this moment.
"Yier, have you been well these days?"
A sneer appeared on his thin lips, and his eyes were like a cold blade.
He didn't know how much he missed her. In all his years, he had never met a woman who made him want but couldn't get her and worry about her.
Every night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
When they met again, Doctor Wu felt the imperial power intuitively for the first time.
In the past, they lived together in a secluded courtyard outside the capital. They were unaware of his imperial status and spoke without reservation.
But now that his identity is known, he looks so sinister and cruel again.
Even someone like Doctor Wu, who has been in the martial arts world for many years, was a little scared.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head at this moment and did not answer.
Divine Doctor Wu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we didn't know your identity before, and we, the master and the disciple, have offended you..."
"Mr. Wu, I'm talking to Yier." His voice was cold.
He stared at Xu Lingyi without blinking, his eyes burning and deep.
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
She still didn't speak, but her nod made the emperor smile, but the smile obviously didn't reach his eyes.
"As long as you are well, that's enough."
The emperor stretched out his bony hand towards her. There were some things he planned to discuss after returning to the palace.
The most important thing at this moment is to bring her back. Once she enters the palace, she will never be able to escape again.
"Yier, I will take you back to the palace."
Seeing Xu Lingyi's lack of reaction, the emperor narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and he curled his lips coolly, "Old Wu, your eldest disciple has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison for a month. I heard he has lost a lot of weight."
"Oh, and Aning is also in the prison right now."
Xu Lingyi raised her head abruptly, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
"Yier, I never want to do anything, I just want you."
“Come up!”
Doctor Wu stood in front of Xu Lingyi and said, "Your Majesty, if you summon me in the future, I will do my best to see you. Please forgive my two disciples."
He knew that the Empress Dowager was in poor health, but he was still unwilling to sacrifice Xu Lingyi and wanted to see if there was any room for improvement.
"Mr. Wu, I only want her. You shouldn't be begging me, but Yi'er. The life and death of your eldest disciple now depends on another disciple."
"If you really want both of your disciples to be well, the Divine Doctor should have persuaded Yi'er to come into the palace with me, just as he did before."
Xu Lingyi clenched her palms. She looked at Doctor Wu, then at the emperor on horseback.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight and looked gloomier than before, and she felt a little more scared.
But Xu Lingyi still stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with others. I am willing to enter the palace. I ask you to release the innocent people."
"Disciple." Doctor Wu hesitated to speak.
Xu Lingyi smiled faintly at Divine Doctor Wu, her lips curled up: "Master, it's okay. This time, it's your disciple who has implicated you and Senior Brother."
After saying this, she walked towards the emperor and stretched out her slender hand.
Seeing her take the initiative, the emperor's eyes finally showed a genuine smile, and his whole body was no longer so cold.
He simply put his arms around her slender waist and led her onto the horse.
He hugged her from behind, and she still had a fresh and elegant fragrance on her body.
The emperor sniffed her neck.
Xu Lingyi shrank her fair neck and said nothing.
"Let's go, Yi'er."
The emperor pulled the reins.
He rode his horse so fast, as if he couldn't wait to get to the capital.
Behind her was his strong and hot chest, and in front of her was the biting cold wind.
"His Majesty……"
Xu Lingyi held the horse's reins tightly in her hands. She was frightened by his riding speed and was eager to take her into the palace.
Xu Lingyi knew clearly in her heart that once she entered the palace, it would be completely his territory and she would never have any chance to escape.
Is he going to start settling accounts with her, and how will he punish her?
Xu Lingyi felt uneasy thinking about this.
"What happened to Yi'er?"
The emperor lowered his head and noticed that her long black hair was blown into a mess.
He put his cloak over her head, and the heavy cloak wrapped her whole body.
"We'll be in the capital soon."
In order to see her as quickly as possible, he rode his horse as fast as he could to the outskirts of Beijing, and naturally he did not prepare a carriage.
The emperor rode all the way to the capital and then entered the palace.
"Your Majesty... look? That's His Majesty?"
"Who else but Your Majesty could be riding a horse in the palace?" The Queen watched coldly.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty seems to be holding a woman..." The female official beside the Queen hesitated to speak.
The Queen's eyes remained calm. "No matter how many women he brings into the palace, it has nothing to do with me."
She didn't like the emperor at all; her heart had died when she was nineteen.
Now I sit in this position only for the Cui family.
But your Majesty's recent series of actions all indicate that your Majesty wants to punish the Cui family.
"Let's go."
"Didn't the Queen ask to see His Majesty? If we just go back like this..."
"Your Majesty will not see me at this moment."
The Queen looked at the falling snow and said, "From the moment the Emperor returned to the palace, the Cui family... might have been doomed."
She can't even protect herself now.
Perhaps before long, she will no longer be able to sit on the position of queen.
The queen clenched her hands. Without her beloved, she could only hold on to power and sit alone in the position of queen.
But now, it seems that it can no longer be saved.
"If the former crown prince were still alive..."
The queen looked at the heavy snow falling in the distance and said nothing more.
"Let's go back to the palace."
…
"Liu Dehai, prepare some water!"
The emperor carried Xu Lingyi down from the horse and walked into the hall with steady and powerful steps.
It was freezing cold outside the hall, but once you entered it was warm as spring.
The emperor laid her on the bed, held her hand, and placed the heater in her palm.
"Is it cold? Once you enter the hall, you'll feel warm immediately."
