Beiming Shuangxue shook her head and said: "As soon as I get close to my husband, I can feel his warmth, especially...here..." Beiming Shuangxue pointed at Ma Xiaoquan's lower abdomen.
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and thought, does this little girl know where Yuan is?
"Haha, I am your man, so I will naturally bring you warmth. Okay, don't think about it anymore, we will go out tonight~"
"Don't you notify those officials? What if they can't find you?"
"I will leave a letter, and they will know it as soon as they read it. If I leave quietly, they will probably think about it in conjunction with the new emperor's enthronement. Hum, so even if they want to say something, they probably won't dare to say more."
"Okay~~My husband is so smart, hehe~~"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Beiming Shuangxue, and murmured: "These days, you have been running around with me, I have really worked hard for you~"
Beiming Shuangxue was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "As long as you follow your husband, it won't be hard."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Next, we should go to the last stop I should go to. Once there, no matter life or death, I won't leave again."
Beiming Shuangxue's beautiful eyes flashed and asked: "Why do you want to go to that secret realm so much? What is there?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "If I knew, I wouldn't want to go so much, but I always have a feeling that I must go there."
"Well, okay, what should Sister Yue'er and the others do?"
"That's all I'm saying. Please ask your tribe to send a message to Yue'er and the others, so that they can live in peace for now. We will pick them up after I have a clear idea over there."
"Yeah, I got it~~"
Ma Xiaoquan hugged Beiming Shuangxue, raised his head, looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and sighed: "I finally want to go there~ I can't wait~"
"Hehe, it's not far to the secret realm from here. Besides, we have to disguise ourselves to avoid being recognized~"
...
Late at night, outside the town of Gansu, the horseman who had already prepared the carriage was waiting quietly. Suddenly, two figures came out and jumped on the carriage.
The groom was stunned and shouted in a low voice: "Who is it?"
"It's us~"
The groom was stunned, and when he took a look, he saw two unfamiliar faces.
"You are..."
Ma Xiaoquan and Beiming Shuangxue looked at each other, and then whispered the pre-arranged joint code. When the groom heard this, he was just stunned for a moment, and then he stopped saying anything.
Sitting on the carriage, Beiming Shuangxue opened the window and watched the town of Gansu gradually drifting away. She suddenly felt a little sad.
The horses suddenly neighed, and Beiming Shuangxue came back to his senses. Looking at Ma Xiaoquan who had fallen asleep next to him, deep love surged into his heart.
She gently approached the man she loved and rested her head on his chest.
Ma Xiaoquan, who was sleeping, just hummed softly.
Beiming Shuangxue pursed her lips and smiled softly, and murmured softly: "My man, the man I love deeply, following you is the happiness I have never experienced before~~"
...
In a palace somewhere.
Li Qinghan gently put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and twisted his neck.
A maid offered a cup of tea. Li Qinghan smiled slightly, took the tea, and took a sip.
"Your Majesty, what do you think that is?" the maid asked.
Li Qinghan put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "The Romance of the West Chamber."
"Oh, I heard someone told me that the love story in it is really good~ Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying are really a match made in heaven~" the maid said.
Li Qinghan smiled and shook his head: "Silly girl, how can there be such a good love~"
The maid said: "Of course there is. I see Master Wen Yi's sincerity towards the empress, and I feel envious. If a man treats me like this, I will have no regrets in my life."
"Zhao Wenyi...well..." Li Qinghan's delicate body trembled slightly.
Li Qinghan is not stupid. Although Zhao Wenyi used his son to threaten her and let her come here, he has never treated her badly or done anything excessive since he came here, and he has always been infatuated with her. All of this,
Li Qinghan understands.
But Li Qinghan was just grateful for Zhao Wenyi's kindness, because in her heart, that man's voice and smile could never be forgotten.
"Your Majesty, do you have a man you love deeply?" the maid asked boldly.
Li Qinghan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
The maid thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, your Majesty, not only yes, but he is also the man whom I miss all the time. My Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not..."
"Tell me~"
"Well, Madam, is the man you love the father of young Master Feng'er?"
Li Qinghan was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and hummed softly.
"If I were the empress, I would go find him, hehe~ He would save me from worrying about him all day long, I can't bear it..."
Li Qinghan reached out and patted the maid on the head. This little girl was only fourteen years old. She had just learned what love between a man and a woman was, but how could she understand the helplessness outside of love.
At this moment, someone outside the palace reported that Master Wen Qiang was asking for an audience.
The maidservant frowned slightly and murmured: "It's that Zhao Wenqiang again. He's really annoying. Compared to Master Wenyi, this Zhao Wenqiang is really unlikable."
Li Qinghan nodded and motioned for him to come in.
...
Zhao Wenqiang took a bouquet of flowers and walked into the palace with square steps. He saw Li Qinghan sitting in the center of the palace from a distance. He arranged the flowers, straightened his collar, and walked slowly over.
.
"Qinghan~~I'm here to see you~" Zhao Wenqiang smiled and offered flowers.
Li Qinghan smiled slightly and said: "This is the third time you have come today. What, if I say that I don't like this flower, will you continue to pick it?"
Zhao Wenqiang nodded: "That's natural. If Qinghan doesn't like it, I don't like it either. If Qinghan likes it, I like it~"
"Call me Vulcan Empress~~" Li Qinghan corrected Zhao Wenqiang coldly.
Zhao Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, my Vulcan Empress~"
Li Qinghan looked at Zhao Wenqiang with some disgust and said, "I said, I won't take anything you give me~"
Zhao Wenqiang was not angry either. He put the flowers aside and planned to step forward and have a face-to-face meeting with Li Qinghan.
"Presumptuous~" The maid stepped forward and stopped in front of Zhao Wenqiang, stretching out her weak arms and looking at him with wide eyes.
Zhao Wenqiang narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and slapped the maid on the face. With a snap, the maid was knocked to the ground.
"You humble servant, how dare you stop me?" Zhao Wenqiang said fiercely, while not forgetting to threaten the maid who had already been knocked down by him.
Li Qinghan became angry and said softly: "Go away~" Immediately, the small frost in her body suddenly burst out and flew in front of Zhao Wenqiang at lightning speed.
Zhao Wenqiang was so frightened that he took several steps back and said with some confusion: "Qinghan, she is just a humble servant. Do you need to do this because she treats me?"
Li Qinghan stood up, walked down the steps slowly, and said: "First of all, let me reiterate, call me the Vulcan Empress; secondly, you and I are not familiar with each other, and I only have a mutual help with your father.
agreement, but it does not mean that I will definitely become friends with anyone in your Zhao family, let alone have a deeper friendship; thirdly, everything in this palace belongs to my Vulcan Cult, including me.
My maid, do you understand?"
Zhao Wenqiang took two steps back and said with a smile: "Okay, Vulcan Empress, it seems that you are still hostile to me. Okay, then I will come back later~" With that, Zhao Wenqiang turned around and prepared to leave, "That's right.
....." Zhao Wenqiang suddenly turned his head and said, "It is said that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty has ascended the throne. Well, he is King Xin. What is his name? Oh yes, Zhu Youjian, the country name... seems to be
Chongzhen..."
Li Qinghan said coldly: "What does that have to do with me?"
"Haha, it has nothing to do with the Vulcan Empress, but that Ma Xiaoquan should have something to do with you, right?"
Li Qinghan just picked up "The Romance of the West Chamber". When he heard the words "Ma Xiaoquan", his hands shook and he almost dropped the book in his hand.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenqiang smiled and said: "I knew you were concerned about Ma Xiaoquan. Don't worry, he is fine. I just heard that he went to Gansu to take up a post~"
"Gansu..." Li Qinghan sighed softly.
"Well, there is a red-headed woman with him~"
"Red head?" Li Qinghan turned around and looked at Zhao Wenqiang.
When Li Qinghan left, Beiming Shuangxue's head had not completely turned red, so for the "red-headed woman" Zhao Wenqiang said, Li Qinghan thought Ma Xiaoquan had found another woman.
"Hmph~" Li Qinghan felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart.
The corner of Zhao Wenqiang's mouth slightly curved in a strange arc, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, I have finished what I should say~ My Vulcan Empress, I hope you will treat me better when I come again next time,
Maybe I will also bring you some news about Ma Xiaoquan... By the way, your maid was beaten by me, and I will make some compensation~ Well~ That's it..."
...
It was a long time after Zhao Wenqiang left that Li Qinghan came back to his senses. Looking at the fingerprints on the face of the maid in front of him, she whispered: "Does it hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt~" The maid shook her head.
"Silly girl, how can it not hurt?"
The maid said: "My dear, is the 'Ma Xiaoquan' that Master Wen Qiang mentioned just now your man?"
Li Qinghan sighed: "Once...right..."
"Ever? Do you still miss him a lot?"
Li Qinghan did not answer.
"Oh, this slave is too talkative~~" The maid lowered her head and remained silent...
