Chapter 440: It was almost like letting the fifth brother send him away with just one sentence
Yinzhe's figure blended silently into the night like a drop of ink into water, and he went to the south gate of Fengjing to arrange the carriage first.
The imperial study did not become any less busy due to the absence of one person. Instead, the impending departure added a bit of stagnant tension.
Qin Zhaoyue decided to take his mother with him, and Jiang Wuya and Chu Xinglan would stay by her side all the time.
If the three plates of heaven, earth and man were separated, they would not have the terrifying suppressive power they had before.
As a result, only two second-grade masters, Xue Lao and Ling Muxue, were left in charge of the huge palace.
The risk is extremely high, but the situation is pressing and there is no perfect solution.
Of course, compared with Qin Zhaoyue's upcoming deep dive into the dangerous and dangerous terrain, Fengjing's risk seems insignificant.
Yinzhe needed time to prepare clean water, dry food, and elixirs, so he left early, leaving some time for people to say goodbye.
only……
The royal heirs gathered silently around the soft couch where their mother slept. Their silence was like wet cotton wool, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.
The palace lanterns stretched and distorted their shadows, casting them on the cold gold brick floor.
The air was thick with worry, and every breath was heavy and stagnant.
The third princess, Qin Zhaowan, moved her lips several times before she finally spoke hesitantly.
"Zhao Yue... can you help the Queen Mother wake up for a moment?"
The future is uncertain, perhaps this will be the last time we see each other.
She longed for a farewell, or an unspoken instruction, or even a chance of a turnaround that would not require such a risky move.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't even think about it, but shook his head slowly, his eyes falling on his mother's thin and withered face.
"No, it would only increase the risk."
Merit is worth saving, as reawakening will inevitably consume a lot of energy.
Everyone was silent.
Everyone understands that all efforts have been exhausted to maintain the Queen's life in her current slumber, and forcibly waking her up would be risky.
But...when you are in love, you can't help but have a little wishful thinking.
Sui Mo suddenly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, and everyone in the Mo Group behind him knelt down in unison.
"Your Highness, please take us with you!"
The sound of breaking ink was extremely tense, like a fully drawn bowstring.
"Even if I'm weak, I can still share your worries by taking care of you along the way."
Qin Zhaoyue shook his head again, his eyes sweeping across the young and resolute faces:
“I appreciate your kindness.
During this period, guarding Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, and Xiaojiu well is a great achievement."
Sui Mo bit his lower lip so hard that he could almost taste a hint of rust. The people from the Mo Group behind him also looked unwilling.
They believed that they had tried their best in the past four months and their cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. If they were in the Qingluan Guard, they would be the best among their peers.
But the storms that His Highness is facing now are so severe that even the third level of the Divine Martial Realm seems precarious.
How could their limited Qiwu realm cultivation be her reliance?
At this moment, a deep sense of powerlessness overwhelmed them like a tide.
Xiaojiu walked forward silently, grasped Qin Zhaoyue's sleeve with her cold little hands, raised her little face, and her eyes were red:
"Sixth sister, you must come back safely."
Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba also came over, put their hands together, and spoke with a choked sob, unable to suppress their words:
"Sixth sister, be careful."
Seeing the three little guys trying hard to hold back their tears, Qin Zhaoyue's heart softened.
He sighed and rubbed Xiaojiu's head with his empty hand:
"Well, at least my love for you guys wasn't in vain."
Xiaojiu tilted his head, trying to lighten the atmosphere:
"When did Sixth Sister show any love for us? Is this the time to cheat us out of our money?"
Qin Zhaoyue laughed, pulled out his finger and gently tapped her forehead: "You are so smart."
"Zhao Yue." The third princess, the fourth princess and the fifth prince Qin Jingzhan also gathered around at this time.
"Queen Mother...I entrust this to you." The Third Princess' voice was heavy. "You all must return safely."
"Um."
Qin Jingzhan's Adam's apple rolled, and he forced himself to suppress the sourness in his chest.
He has been full of thoughts and feels very complicated these past two days.
After the Queen Mother ascended the throne, she paid little attention to him. His older brothers and sisters each had their own strengths, but he and Zhao Yue seemed to be forgotten in the corner.
But now, the sixth sister who was once as ignorant as him has leaped to a height that he can hardly reach.
He had felt resentment and abandoned himself before, but the word "debt" that the Queen Mother said to him before she fell asleep seemed to smooth out all the wrinkles in an instant.
As long as the Queen Mother is still here, nothing else seems to matter.
Qin Jingzhan took a deep breath and said:
"Sixth sister, if you can be safe this time..."
"Stop!"
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly shuddered and quickly interrupted him, still feeling apprehensive.
"Fifth brother, you can't say that!"
Qin Jingzhan stood there in a daze.
He wanted to say that when she returned safely, he would open his private warehouse for her to choose from as a reward, but he was interrupted before he could even finish his words.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't dare let him continue.
"Wait until I return safely this time..."
"This is my last mission..."
“I want to go home after I retire…”
“This is a photo of my daughter…”
The flags set in those dramas often come true.
Good heavens, she was almost sent away by the fifth brother’s “poisonous milk”!
"Don't be so sentimental," Qin Zhaoyue said in a decisive tone, "I will do my best."
She looked at her third and fourth sisters and said, "Feng Jing, leave it to you sisters."
"Don't worry, you will be safe."
"Okay, let's say goodbye then."
Qin Zhaoyue leaned over and picked up the empress very gently.
I don’t know if it’s because my strength has increased, or because my mother’s vitality has slipped away too much, but the body in my arms is frighteningly light, and the bony bones are clearly visible through the clothes.
Jiang Wuya and Chu Xinglan protected them on the left and right. Although the connection between the three plates was not activated, the invisible "domain" had quietly opened up, covering the three of them.
Taking the empress out of the palace was a top secret, so the royal heirs were unable to see them off. They could only stay in the imperial study and watch their figures disappear at the end of the long palace corridor.
The eunuch Su Quan fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead pressed against the cold ground, tears silently falling from the corners of his eyes, and he kept repeating in his mind:
"Pray to God for the safe return of His Majesty and the Sixth Prince."
When Qin Zhaoyue's figure completely blended into the darkness outside the door, Xiaojiu's tears, which she had been holding back, instantly burst out.
But she bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying out loud, as if she was afraid that the slightest sound would disturb the peace of the traveler.
The two little men, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.
The three older brothers and sisters stepped forward silently, each holding a little one in their arms, and gently comforted him:
"Don't be afraid. Trust your Sixth Sister. She will definitely turn danger into safety."
Xiaojiu nodded vigorously, but her tears fell even harder...
