The Queen was not surprised when her identity was exposed. She still smiled slightly and raised her hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Since Master Bai is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. I wonder why some of you came to my Xiling Institute this time?"

Su Wu suddenly realized, "It turns out the Queen really recognizes us!"

Wheat Sui kicked him quietly from behind, saying, "Don't talk at this time! You idiot!"

"The Queen invited us on board just for conversation. We can say anything, it doesn't matter. The Queen won't care about it, right?" After Grandpa Du and his godfather took their seats, Bai Yu also stepped forward and sat down cross-legged on the futon.

.

The Queen looked at him and smiled, "Yeah."

Su Wu felt relieved now and stepped forward, "Queen, so the wine that Grandpa Du snatched was really given to us by you?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" the queen asked with great interest.

"My sister told Bai Yu. The other palace servants only had eight glasses of wine in their hands. Only Grandpa Du got nine glasses. It was a special gift from the Queen."

"Your sister and Bai Yu are very smart."

The Queen is easy to talk to, so the boys stay out of sight.

Nine people crowded a short table to the brim.

The old lady Chu Yi quickly brought osmanthus tea, various fresh fruits, and snacks, and then quietly pushed them aside.

"I, Xiling, have never been involved in external disputes in the past twenty years, and I have no misunderstandings or grudges with you. So when I first saw you appearing in the imperial city, it was appropriate for me to ask." The atmosphere was harmonious, and the queen held up the teapot.

He poured tea for several guests with his own hands, without any sense of dignity, "Although we have never met before, your names are familiar to me."

"Xiling doesn't pay attention to external disputes and should not care about external affairs. I wonder who mentioned us to the Queen? Was it Mo Liren or Wen Renjing?" Bai Xiaofeng asked.

The Queen glanced at him and smiled after a moment, "So that's why you came here. Wen Renjing came to my Xiling in March, and you arrived in Hanzhen in August, and the journey took more than three months... It's because you know Wen Renjing's whereabouts.

Came after him."

All nine people were silent and looked at her with eighteen eyes.

"If it is really because of Wen Renjing, he would have left and returned to Beixiang as early as April. If you have any grudges with Beixiang, I, Xiling, will not interfere. Xiling does not play any role in this. He is neither an enemy nor a friend." The Queen spoke extremely.

Simply speak openly, without any hostility or fear in his words, "If you come here for a visit, Xiling welcomes you at any time, but for other matters, I forgive Xiling for not being able to accompany you."

"We are not here to make enemies of Xiling. Since the Queen has heard of our names, you should know that we never target without aim. We are forced to fight back only when others make mistakes." Bai Yu stared at her, his face expressionless.

, "This time, we need to check some clues in and around the imperial city. Can the Queen be there for your convenience?"

Their identical peach blossom eyes met, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.

The poisonous old man was happily munching on the fruit. When he saw this scene, his triangular eyes narrowed, and then he opened his eyes in surprise, "Hey, you two have similar eyes! You're both crazy!"

Bai Yu's mouth twitched.

The remaining seven people, "..."

The Queen seemed to have heard something happy. She was stunned for a moment and smiled again, "Really? No wonder I always feel so close to Mr. Bai when I see him."

The old man smacked his lips again regretfully, "Only the eyes look like it, but nothing else looks like it!"

Tianbao handed the fruit to the old man, "Grandpa Poison, I'm off topic."

"No need to get it for me, I haven't finished eating this yet."

"Eat something new."

"This works!"

The inexplicable atmosphere stirred up by the old man was broken by him himself, and the cabin returned to normal.

But there were several more pairs of eyes lingering on the faces of the Queen and Bai Yu.

Especially Bai Xiaofeng, there was interest in his eyes, but his face was still calm and his emotions were not shown.

The boat sailed leisurely in the lake, with music and singing coming from both sides, and laughter and laughter could be heard everywhere.

"If you want to search for clues in Xiling, it will be convenient for me. You must first tell me the reason and the whole story. If there is any trouble, I will have a reason to explain it to the courtiers." The Queen brought the topic back.

Bai Yu said, "We are wanted criminals from the nine countries. The Queen has spoken so truthfully. If you really facilitate us, aren't you afraid that Xiling will offend all the countries?"

The Queen sat up straight, with her hands on her knees. The aura of the superior was naturally exposed, and she was domineering, "I, Xiling, do not cause trouble, and I am not afraid of trouble. What's more, I need to know the cause of the beginning and end. Whether this convenience can be given has not yet been decided."

"If I hear that Renjing is using Xiling for personal affairs, once things break out, Xiling may be dragged into trouble. Is this convenient?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"No."

"Then tonight we will just chat."

Aunt Jin was standing by, hearing the conversation clearly, and her whole body was tense.

Everyone on the Nine Kingdoms Wanted List is not a good person.

The Queen's impromptu intention to invite these people on board the ship did not agree with her in her heart. It was too dangerous.

Now that the two sides are facing each other, with the Queen's tough attitude, if the other side takes action... the force protection provided on the boat may not be enough!

Thinking of this, Aunt Jin subconsciously stepped forward and stood beside the Queen, just in case something happened and she could be rescued in time.

Tianbao raised his eyebrows.

Seeing this, the Queen waved her hand towards Aunt Jin, "Aunt Jin, please step back."

"emperor--"

"They won't hurt me." The queen smiled and looked at the girl opposite.

Wearing a sky-blue skirt and shirt, with a ponytail tied high behind her head, she is neat and tidy. Her beautiful face has a dull expression, and her eyes are dark and quiet. She is a little girl with few emotions.

"You are Su Jiuni, nicknamed Tianbao, the top one on the wanted list of the Nine Kingdoms." She said, "It is rumored that you are extremely ruthless in your actions, and you never talk nonsense. Emperor Long Yuanguo's bun is

You cut it off."

Tianbao opened her lips, "Yes."

The girl did not mince words, and a smile flashed across the queen's eyes, "Longyuan is a small country, and its national power ranks last among all the countries. In my opinion, Longyuan Palace is just a sheepfold with leaks everywhere. But if it were changed,

In other big countries, such as Dongpu, Beixiang, and Nansang, the royal palaces are really full of masters. If you want to enter an uninhabited land, I'm afraid you won't be able to."

"What does the Queen mean?"

"I'm here to remind you, don't rush into the palace, people around you will worry." The Queen sighed, "Don't meddle in my own business. I'm probably older. I look at you as if I were my own junior. You talk too much."

some."

Tianbao didn't respond, but she did remember the Queen's reminder.

She is sensitive to the emotions of others, and the Queen is not hostile to them.

"If you like the bustle of Du'an, you can stay at the inn in the city and have fun before leaving. Today's chat ends, I should go back to the palace. I will leave the boat for you. The moonlit night of Xiling Festival is very lively, and it is also great to visit the lake.

Interesting."

After saying that, the Queen got up and left the cabin accompanied by Aunt Jin.

The boat docked at the pier at some unknown time.

After the Queen disembarked, she picked up the people in the carriage that had been waiting there and left.

No one knows that the Queen is also taking a boat ride on the lake tonight.
