The queen looked at the palace door worriedly, hoping to receive the news as soon as possible.

I sat there until late at night, but no one came back.

Emperor Bei Jing couldn't bear to see his wife in such a state, so he walked up to her and sat with her on the steps in front of the door.

"No news is not a bad thing. It means Zi'er is hiding well."

Emperor Bei Jing could only comfort the Queen in this way, and he was also comforting himself.

"If I hadn't invited Zi'er to have tea with me that day, would she have avoided this unexpected disaster?"

Queen Bei Jing stared at the door and muttered.

Emperor Bei Jing was thinking: "Zi'er can appear in the palace with a maid, her status must be higher than that of an ordinary person. The people around her claim to be me, and they know my status but don't show the same respect as ordinary people. Is it possible that she is a princess born to one of the concubines of the previous emperor?"

The queen thought about it and realized that Zi'er seemed to have indifferent feelings towards everyone.

"But didn't the late emperor of Nanyue have only one son and one daughter?"

Emperor Bei Jing stroked his beard and said, "If the child was born by a concubine in the cold palace, it is normal for it not to be recognized."

"Based on your understanding of the Empress, if they were biological sisters, would she have taken action?"

This question left Emperor Bei Jing speechless. He didn't know the empress at all and had no idea of ​​her temper.

Seeing Emperor Bei Jing in trouble, the Queen sighed deeply.

They came to South Vietnam because the prince was trapped, and now they are forced to hand over Zi'er, whom they regard as their daughter. Is this the only way they can compromise?

"Your Majesty, we..."

The queen hesitated to speak.

As her husband, how could he not understand what the queen had not finished saying?

"The children have their own way, and we old people will take care of the rest."

He held the queen's hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you. Be my queen. I thought I would be with you until old age."

The queen held his hand back and said, "You are old, don't be so cheesy. I am the terminator of romance."

She chuckled and said, "I have a good eye. I didn't make a mistake in choosing someone."

The two men looked at each other, and Emperor Bei Jing called for soldiers.

"Some of you should leave the palace one after another, don't attract attention, take the prince back to Beijing, and do it immediately."

After dismissing some soldiers, he leisurely admired the moonlight with the queen. After seeing things more clearly, his mood became much better.

At noon on the third day, the person sent out reported back: "Your Majesty, we have searched the entire palace except the Forbidden Star Hall, and there is no trace of Miss Zi."

Hearing that there was no news, the two frowned.

"What is the Forbidden Star Palace?"

The man lowered his head even lower: "I heard that this is where the goddess lives in the palace."

Goddess! They didn’t think about it that way.

Today is the third day. The agreement with Zi'er is today, and the deadline of the empress is also today. What should they do if they meet?

The two of them paced back and forth in the room anxiously. When they heard someone announce that Miss Zi was coming, they hurried all the way to the entrance of the hall.

"Zi'er."

The Queen beckoned her to follow her in.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty look so anxious, but what happened?"

"Zi'er, listen to me. The empress will come to ask for you today. You should follow the remaining soldiers out of the palace. They will escort you to Beijing. From now on, you will live as the prince's younger sister."

The Queen spoke very quickly, as if she was in a hurry.

Ziyou didn't care about their anxiety, her mind was full of thoughts...

The Empress wants her? Did she hear it right?

The people around Ziyou looked at each other. Was the empress starting to jump back and forth again?

Seeing that Ziyou didn't react, Emperor Bei Jing said, "Don't be afraid, Zi'er, nothing will happen. Just go with them first."

Ziyou looked at the queen in confusion.

"What does she want from me?"

Looking at Zi'er's beautiful face, the queen's eyes turned red. She seemed to be unable to speak and she opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

Emperor Bei Jing interrupted, “Leave the palace with them first, we will tell you later.”

"Later? Can you really leave the palace?"

Ziyou looked at them.

"I don't like people making decisions for me. What happened?"

The queen suppressed her inner ups and downs and said bitterly: "The empress wants you to be her concubine. There is no room for negotiation."

Ziyou was stunned, wondering what the little star was doing.

Bei Chenxi and the others stood there in a daze for several seconds. The empress wanted the goddess to be her concubine. What the hell was going on?

This is not the way you joke.

They looked at the goddess cautiously, and she didn't seem angry. They couldn't help but pray for the empress in their hearts, hoping that she would be more sensible in the future.

Ziyou didn't move for a long time, and they were anxiously waiting for her to make a decision.

After a long while, she slowly said, "Are you not going to live?"

Emperor Bei Jing and his wife looked at Zi'er and felt that she seemed a little different from the one they knew before. She seemed to have a faint majesty, and was completely different from that otherworldly woman.

"This incident just accelerated its pace. The ending is the same. It seems that the Empress never intended to let us, Bei Jing, go from the beginning."

Emperor Bei Jing spoke in a calm tone, as if he had recognized certain facts.

"We are very sorry for innocently implicating you. You can go to Beijing first. You can take the rest of the way as you wish. We have already written to the prince, and he will take good care of you."

"Is it possible that you are not the ones who implicated me?"

Ziyou's voice was pleasant and charming, with a hint of an ambiguous attitude: "Your Majesty loves the people like your own children, but in a chaotic world, you may not be suitable to be a king."

Emperor Bei Jing knew his own methods long ago. He was only suitable to be a wise ruler in prosperous times, but not to be a hegemon in troubled times.

"Zi'er has always seen things so clearly."

Emperor Bei Jing smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is here."

The Queen used her body to block Ziyou, and Emperor Bei Jing stood in front of them.

"The Empress arrived very early."

As soon as Nan Wanxing came in, she saw what they were hiding. Behind that...

"So many people are standing here, are they welcoming me?"

Nan Wanxing walked forward a few steps, wanting to see who they cared so much about.

Seeing the Empress getting closer and closer, Emperor Bei Jing spoke up to stop her: "Empress, if you have something to discuss, you can invite all the officials to a banquet and discuss it in front of everyone. This is where I rest, please move on, Empress."

It seems that Emperor Bei Jing cares about that person very much.

Sadly, she is not a good person.

Neither side would give in, and the Beijing people had their hands on their swords, ready to fight at any time.

Nan Wanxing was fearless and continued walking forward.

"stop!"

The familiar voice made Nan Wanxing pause.

When everyone saw that the empress had really stopped, they all looked at Ziyou.

Taking advantage of the gap when they turned around, Nan Wanxing saw the person behind him clearly.

Through the crowd, their eyes met in the air.

Ziyou tilted her head slightly and looked at her with a smile: "You want me to be your concubine?"
