The palace was quiet and peaceful under the cover of darkness. The dim light from candles in the distance brought a ray of light to the dark room.

But this ray of light made Lu Changning unable to sleep. After thinking for a long time, he finally got up, lit a candle in front of the table, and left his last will in this quiet night.

Holding the edict in my hand and feeling my heart beating weakly, I could no longer fall asleep.

Just at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my mind: "Lu Changning, I'm here to take you back."

Good, good, the enchanting red spider lily is here.

"Xiaohong, long time no see."

Xiao Hong looked around and was surprised: "It's only been a few days since we last met, how come you've been promoted to the emperor! You've become rich!"

The annoyance just now was swept away, and Lu Changning tossed his black hair in front of him elegantly: "This is my irresistible personality charm. Even if everyone knows that I will not live long, I still get this position in the end. Roar, roar, roar, nothing else, just excellence."

"Oh my, you are so arrogant. You can't resist the whip of fate. What personality charm do you have? You are such a poor wretch who will be infamous for eternity. You are still talking about personality with me. Hurry up and pack up. After tomorrow, we can drink a glass of poisoned wine and go home."

Lu Changning put the written edict into the secret compartment under the bed: "Xiaohong, I still have things to do here. Is there any way for me to stay here for a while longer?"

Xiao Hong couldn't figure it out: "What else can you do in this world? Could it be that Qiu Yue didn't handle it? But I see that he is in good condition, with a happy family and his parents are alive and well. He doesn't look like he would commit suicide at all."

Lu Changning nodded: "Of course I know Qiu Yue is a good person, he can become an excellent person. What I am worried about is the development of this country. I have not yet put this country on the right track. When I am here, those royal relatives dare not move, but once I leave, I am really afraid that this Daliang, which has finally stabilized, will be in chaos again. I have to suppress them."

Xiao Hong couldn't understand: "Your mission is just to make up the numbers in this world, not to really let you become the emperor. If you stay in this position, how can Qiu Yue become the regent, how can the male protagonist take the throne, and how can this world develop according to the original plot?"

"I know I will leave before the hero ascends the throne. Isn't there still a few years left? I will leave after I take back the military power and pull Qiu Yue and Cheng Fei up."

Xiao Hong was a little angry: "Why are you looking for trouble......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Changning take out a gray ball from his body, which was tightly bound by the soul-catching rope: "Take this back first, and collect the reward by the way. We will split it equally when we get back."

"System...system...system..." Xiao Hong was so frightened that she jumped around in panic: "Is this really the system? The system on the Third Imperial Concubine? Have you caught him?"

Lu Changning nodded: "Although it took some time, but I caught it. Now can I stay in this world for a few more years?"

"Of course I can. From today on, you are my big daddy! With your charisma, I will find a way for you to live a hundred years here, let alone stay for a few years. Little Tongtong, come to your grandpa's arms."

The little red flower branch caught the gray ball tightly, and the petals began to tremble with laughter: "Haha, little Lu, I was right about you. You are worthy of being the fourth place in the long-distance running in the underworld. You can even catch up with this thing. When I go back, I will make you famous."

Lu Changning didn't care whether he was beautiful or not. He wanted to know how to live: "My life span is about to expire. Do you have any good way to renew it?"

Little Red Flower Branch touched the system, looking thoughtful: "Your life span has expired, and I can't change your life and death book. Hey, Tongzi, do you have any ideas?"

As he spoke, he slapped the gray ball heavily. The mechanical voice of the system sounded: "Lu Changning is destined to die in front of Qiu Yue. It is written in black and white in the plot and cannot be changed. Wait for death in peace. Even if you catch me, you can't escape your fate."

Xiao Hong and Lu Changning looked at each other, and both caught the loophole in this sentence. They lowered their heads to look at the gray ball: "Die in front of Qiu Yue? Does that mean you can't die as long as you don't see Qiu Yue?"

The ball was petrified instantly, and its color turned green. I don't know if it was because I hated myself for talking too much, but I turned off the microphone completely.

"Hey, Tongzi, talk."

Xiaohong patted the thing, but it seemed like it had a short circuit and didn't say a word.

"No wonder you were able to catch this thing. Is it a defective product? It's silent now. Is it burned?"

Lu Changning didn't have time to talk to Xiaohong. He had to take action now, otherwise he would really go down to look for it the next day.

"Come here, tell Qiu Yue to come to the palace to see me immediately."

Xiao Hong fumbled for Hui Qiu in her arms and said, "Lu Changning, I suggest you not tell Qiu Yue about this. As the saying goes, the secret of heaven cannot be leaked. Once you tell it, you may be silenced on the spot."

Lu Changning listened to Xiaohong's words, and felt a little reluctant when he saw Qiu Yue. This might be the only two chances for him and Qiu Yue to meet in this life.

Qiu Yue was taken to the palace in the middle of the night, in a hurry, and thought something had happened. It was not until he saw his master standing here that the fear in his heart disappeared. However, what the master said next made him uncomfortable.

"Master, you said you want me to guard the border?"

Lu Changning was wearing a bright yellow pajamas and a white cape, looking particularly thin. Seeing Qiu Yue at this time, he didn't know if his death was near, but his heart was actually throbbing with pain.

After closing his eyes and waiting for the pain to pass, Lu Changning spoke: "Now that the remaining powerful forces have poured into the neighboring countries and are surrounded by wolves, I really can't sleep well. But if I let others watch, I'm worried that they will have rebellious intentions. Jingming, I can only rely on you."

As long as Lu Changning said something, Qiu Jingming would obey. But seeing the sick Lu Changning at this time, how could Qiu Yue leave with peace of mind: "Master, if I leave, who will take care of you?"

Lu Changning pursed his lips and forced a smile: "Don't worry about my body. Don't worry, I won't die before you come back next time. I will hold on until you come back."

Qiu Yue wanted to ask if he knew his feelings and was deliberately keeping him away. But when the words came to his lips, he shut up when he saw Lu Changning, who was about to break in front of him.

"Yes, I accept your order."

Qiu Yue left the palace and went to Cheng Fei's home. In the middle of the night, Cheng Fei was grabbed from the bed by Qiu Yue: "Mr. Cheng, are you talking nonsense in front of me?"

Cheng Fei was pulled out of his dream, but he was still not awake: "Master Qiu, what did I complain about?"

Qiu Yue got angry when he saw Cheng Fei's face: "Did you reveal my feelings to me, which led to him asking me to guard the border?"

"Guard the border?" Cheng Fei woke up completely: "I didn't say that, why did I suddenly ask you to guard the border?"
