After persuading Xia Xuejian and the Ninth Prince with virtue, Ye Qingwan immediately slipped back home and found a few capable followers, without letting her father know.

As a result, when she was looking out the door, she heard the voice of the Prime Minister behind her: "Is there a ghost in the house?"

Ye Qingwan was so scared that she turned around quickly and saw her father standing at the back door in court robes.

She was quite embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "Dad, how did you go through the back door after leaving the court?"

The Prime Minister said without blushing or beating his heart, "The gate is broken."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Dad, I just went out through the main door, are you kidding me?

"Dad, I want to go out for a while." Ye Qingwan hurriedly caught up, pulled his arm, and said coquettishly.

She thought he would not allow it, after all, she had just returned from the battlefield in the south and she wanted to go back to Chuye.

But I didn't expect him to agree right away: "Okay, it's good to go out and relax. Dad will ask the housekeeper to pick out a few capable people for you to take with you."

Do you agree now?

They didn't even ask me why I was going out or where I was going.

"Dad, why don't you ask me what I'm going to do?"

The Prime Minister snorted and laughed: "What else can you do? Go and get into trouble."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Dad, we don't have to be so honest. We are not honest people.

"Then you won't stop me?"

"Hmm?! Good question, you hit the nail on the head." The Prime Minister looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and asked her back, "Why didn't the master who built the house make it solid? This way it would be both sturdy and safe."

"Dad, how can people live in a solid house?" Ye Qingwan was confused.

Doesn’t it sound like some trivia: as long as you don’t close your eyes when you sleep, you don’t have to open them when you wake up the next day?!

"Yes, if you really want to go, can your father stop you?" The Prime Minister asked her honestly and helplessly.

Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment. My dad can tell jokes?!

How's that for the rhyme?

But he still shook his head. The Prime Minister had an expression that said, "I knew it," and said with a smile, "Go ahead, be careful."

"Okay." Ye Qingwan agreed readily.

"Wan'er." The Prime Minister suddenly called out. Ye Qingwan immediately paused and looked back at him blankly. The Prime Minister just smiled and said gently, "Take good care of yourself."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Dad, why does it sound like a will?!

Don't worry, I'm just going to save people, not to reincarnate.

But she still replied happily: "I know, Dad. You should take good care of yourself. I will be back in ten days or half a month at most."

After saying this, he trotted out of the prime minister's residence and got on the Ninth Prince's carriage. The three of them swayed out of the capital.

Everything was fine at the beginning. Ye Qingwan just occasionally urged the driver to go faster. My Qingqing was almost beaten to death in the stone prison.

But gradually, Ye Qingwan felt that something was not right. This road...why did it feel more and more wrong the further they walked?

"Did we take the wrong path?" Ye Qingwan pulled aside the curtain and asked in confusion.

The Ninth Prince didn't even look at it and said directly, "It can't be wrong. I asked them to take a shortcut. Taking the official road would be too conspicuous."

That's right? The grass on the roadside was dry, and the geology along the way was becoming more and more sandy and rocky.

Don't think that just because I don't have a world map, I don't know that this is the way to the Western Regions.

"We really went the wrong way, stop the car." Ye Qingwan was anxious to lift the curtain and ask the driver to turn around. But the Ninth Prince held her back and pulled her back.

Ye Qingwan looked up and saw his gloomy expression, and immediately realized that something was not good.

She turned her head to look at Xia Xuejian in surprise. Her expression froze and she turned her head away silently, not looking at her.

"So you two teamed up to deceive me?" I was wondering, how did you two know I was going to the sect? And you cooperated with me so well, it turned out that it was a plan.

But why lie to me?!

You don't want to kill me and dump my body on the way, do you?

The Ninth Prince was exposed, his face was very ugly, he just pulled her and said: "Listen to me, let's leave Dayu first, okay?"

"Leave Dayu?" Ye Qingwan was getting more and more confused: "Where are you taking me?"

No one answered her question, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable Ye Qingwan felt. Was something going to happen?

Oh my god, it’s Qingqing!

She suddenly woke up and realized that after the client was defeated, Xingmu betrayed the sect and sold out the sect leader.

In the previous cycle, she and Qingqing were just mutually beneficial, with no feelings at all. Therefore, she had never been interested in plots that were not her part.

Everyone should take care of their own business and not worry about other people's problems.

But it’s different now, Qingqing is her baby.

"Let me go. I have to go back." Ye Qingwan pushed the Ninth Prince away, opened the car curtain and ran out.

"Wanwan." The Ninth Prince also jumped off the carriage, caught up with her, pulled her back and hugged her tightly, not allowing her to move.

Ye Qingwan raised her hand: "Let me go."

Otherwise I will beat you. Don’t think that I won’t beat you just because you are the male protagonist. I am now the one who dares to exploit system bugs.

But her raised hand was gently grasped by Xia Xuejian. Seeing Xia Xuejian's hesitant expression as if he wanted to say something, her angry face instantly collapsed.

Xia Xuejian said nothing and gently pulled the Ninth Prince away: "Let her go. We shouldn't make decisions for her in the way we think is good for her."

The Ninth Prince looked at Xia Xuejian in astonishment. After a while, he silently let go of Ye Qingwan's hand.

Ye Qingwan glanced at Xia Xuejian, gritted her teeth, and said, "Thank you."

system:……

System: It’s very difficult for me to deal with you like this.

"Then I exchange skills? It won't make things difficult for you, right?" Ye Qingwan ran madly all the way to the capital.

system:……

You are awesome, you are noble, and you use the bug as an excuse to attack me.

System: Oh, it turns out today is the weekend, I forgot about that. I am taking a day off today and will not be open for business.

Ye Qingwan: ...

You have two days off a week?

Damn, I'm not even as good as a system.

She ran all the way until her back disappeared in the wind and sand. Xia Xuejian spoke up, "Actually, she didn't seem to have done anything to offend me before. She just had a bad mouth. But why did I hate her so much back then?"

The Ninth Prince glanced at her and said, "Don't say it's because of me. Thank you. I can't bear it. Although you seem to be smarter now and not as annoying as before, I still don't want to have anything to do with you."

But Xia Xuejian didn't say anything to him, she just laughed, a laugh from the heart, because she found that she seemed to have found herself again.

In fact, a long time ago, she had never thought about becoming a queen. She just liked the Ninth Prince purely and wanted to accompany him. She even thought that if Ye Qingwan could really help the Ninth Prince win the throne, she would not mind being a concubine.

But she didn't know since when, another voice appeared in her mind, telling her over and over again that she wanted to be the queen, she was the future queen, and Ye Qingwan was her mortal enemy. Either she or Ye Qingwan, there would be no her. Either Ye Qingwan or there would be no her.

And every time when she was about to do something bad and was hesitant, that voice would jump out and tell her that she was not wrong and that she should do this. If she didn't kill them, they would kill her.

That's how she was, she completely lost herself in that voice that repeated over and over again.

Until she was taken to the grassland by Ye Qingwan, on the night when Great Khan Yanli died, a white light flashed through her mind that almost took her life, and that voice disappeared from then on.
