The Regent's Little Wife

At this time, Yuan Yi heard the commotion upstairs and hurried over. When he saw the secret guards, his heart tightened. These secret guards were all masters who had undergone rigorous training. They were staring at Yuan Yi and Si Ning at this moment, as if ready to attack at any time. Yuan Yi immediately realized that their identities might have been exposed.

Si Ning looked at Yuan Yi, her heart full of worry. She took out a token from her bosom and handed it to Yuan Qi. This token was made of precious materials and engraved with exquisite patterns. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.

"Yuan Qi... The two countries are at war now, and many roads are blocked. This is for you. You should hurry back to Lingyun Sect. Don't wander around outside anymore, it's too dangerous!" Si Ning said in a firm tone.

Yuan Yi was surprised and puzzled when he saw his elder brother coming here. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you here? There is war everywhere now, you shouldn't run around!"

Yuan Qi smiled helplessly and said, "I was originally planning to go back, but then I thought, it's a rare opportunity to come out, so I wanted to walk around and have a look. Unexpectedly, while walking, I suddenly found that many city gates were closed, saying that there was going to be a war at the border. In this way, we have been trapped here for more than half a month. Yi...are you okay?"

Yuan Yi nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry. You can take the token and go home quickly. As long as you show this token, you will have a smooth journey."

Yuan Qi did not refuse, he put the token in his arms. He turned his head and looked at Si Ning. He had never expected that the woman in front of him was actually the empress of the dynasty.

No wonder my brother had such a serious expression when he handed her to me just now.

"I didn't expect you to be the emperor. I, Yuan Qi, greet your Majesty." After saying this, he was about to kneel down and pay his respects.

Si Ning helped Yuan Qi up and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Aren't you being too polite? If it wasn't for you saving me, I would have died by now. I should be the one thanking you, brother."

Yuan Qi was very touched when he heard Si Ning calling him "big brother". He wanted to say something, but when he thought of Si Ning's noble status, he swallowed his words.

At this time Si Ning spoke again, "Brother, hurry back to Lingyun Sect. Lingyun Sect needs you. Don't worry, I have Yi and others by my side who will take care of me."

Yuan Qi nodded. He knew that Si Ning was right. Lingyun Sect really needed him to go back and take charge of the situation. Moreover, Si Ning had so many people protecting him, so he didn't have to worry about Si Ning's safety.

Yuan Qi looked at his brother again. He seemed to be hesitant to speak. Si Ning was a smart man and could tell at a glance that the brothers had something to say.

"Brothers, please speak quickly if you have anything to say. I'm going to go out and get some tea. I'll wait for you downstairs." Si Ning said tactfully. After that, Si Ning left the room and went downstairs.

Yuan Qi grabbed his brother's hand, his eyes full of worry, and asked softly: "Yier, I haven't seen you for a few months. Why are you thinner again? It seems that you stayed with the empress. Is she good to you? Rumor has it that the empress has many concubines and servants in the harem, each one is more beautiful than the other, and I heard that they are all cunning. You are from the martial arts world, they didn't bully you, right?"

Yuan Yi was speechless when he heard what his elder brother said. He shook his head helplessly and explained, "Brother, don't listen to those rumors outside. What do you mean he has many concubines and maids in his harem? There are four of us in his harem, including me. I have been doing my own things in the past few months in the harem. They don't provoke me, and I won't provoke them."

Yuan Qi frowned and sighed deeply, with a trace of helplessness and worry in his eyes: "Emperors have always been so heartless! Brother, if I had known that she was the empress, I would never let you go with her. Even if I had to imprison you, I would keep you by my side and protect you for the rest of your life. You have always been free and accustomed to an unrestrained life, but have you ever thought that the harem is full of sinister and cunning conspiracies? She may love you today, but tomorrow she may turn against you and send you to the cold palace, where you will never stand up again."

Yuan Yi shook his head desperately, his eyes firm and persistent: "Brother, how can you slander her like this? She is not that kind of person, I can assure you. I love her, no matter what happens, I will stay by her side and protect her."

Yuan Qi looked at his brother with heartache and sighed inwardly. For love, his brother was so resolute. He knew that his brother had grown up by his side, was kind-hearted, innocent, and had no idea of ​​the dangers of the world.

However, the struggle in the harem was extremely cruel, and the means were insidious and vicious, which was too dangerous for the innocent brother. He was worried that his brother would not be able to cope with the complicated situation and would be hurt in the end.

In the end, Yuan Qi was unable to resist his own brother's insistence and had no choice but to give in.

"Okay, since you are so persistent, I have tried my best to dissuade you, but you must be careful. If you encounter any unpleasantness in the harem, with your martial arts, you will be able to escape. Lingyun Sect will always be your home." Yuan Qi instructed in a gentle tone.

At the same time, the news that Empress Si Ning decided to personally go to the Western Regions quickly spread throughout the Western Regions. Upon hearing this news, Hilton rushed to the hall without hesitation.

The Queen of the Western Regions looked at her anxious brother and asked with concern: "Dun, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? What happened?"

Hilton gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and shouted excitedly: "I heard that the empress actually went to the battle personally this time. I beg you to allow me to go into battle and kill the enemy, take her life with my own hands, and avenge Duo'er!"

The queen nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Hilton's eagerness to avenge his lover, but at the same time reminded him: "Brother, I am very pleased that you have the heart to defend the Western Region and contribute your strength. This proves that you have grown up. However, you also know that Si Chao's strength should not be underestimated."

"Sister, you are my only brother now. I will never let you take any risks."

"The country is in trouble, and as a prince of the Western Regions, I should take the lead and boost morale. Sister... I once swore in front of Duo'er that I would avenge her personally. Sister, will you fulfill my wish?" Hilton pleaded earnestly.

The Queen of the Western Regions seemed a little hesitant: "But if something happens to you on the battlefield...how can I explain it to my parents?"

"Sister, have you forgotten? I have been learning Qimen Dunjia since I was a child, and I am familiar with the art of Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. The power of that psychedelic array is enough to swallow dragons and subdue tigers, and it once caused millions of special troops to be defeated. Now, facing a mere empress, what do I have to fear?" Hilton said confidently.

Then, he clenched his fists tightly and said in a firm tone: "The bitch Empress is really too much! I swear to personally go into battle and kill the enemy to avenge Duo'er, and I will make sure that those invading enemies will never return!"

The queen still said with some concern: "But setting up this psychedelic array requires a lot of energy. I really don't want to see you get hurt."

Hilton looked determined and said without hesitation: "Sister, please believe me once, I will never let you down."
