Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Faced with such an impolite scene, the men in black robes were about to take a step forward, but Qi Xun raised his hand to stop them.

"Thank you." Qi Xun nodded and then sat directly on the bicycle frame.

The palace maids on both sides were wearing red palace costumes and lowered the pearl curtain after Qi Xun entered and sat down.

"Let's get going--" With a chorus of voices, the carriage began to move slowly.

There were no people watching the ceremony on either side of the official road. The doors and windows of every household were tightly closed, and occasionally a child would open the window to look outside.

He was also dragged back by the adults in the family, and then taught his children how vicious the people in southern Xinjiang were. The harsh words scared the children so much that they started crying, which seemed even more eerie in the quiet environment.

The motorcade drove slowly to the palace gate, but did not see Yue Bai who was supposed to be waiting at the palace gate. Qi Xun asked, "Why didn't Her Highness come out to welcome the bride?"

The female official at the side replied respectfully: "Her Royal Highness is washing up and will meet the Great Witch at Ganlu Palace later."

Qi Xun nodded and said nothing more, but the female official did not seem to miss the opportunity to humiliate him. She continued, "The Great Witch is marrying into the family, can he bring a dowry? His Majesty sent someone to ask, can the Great Witch bring the map of Southern Xinjiang?"

"Isn't it my sincerity that I came here? And the matter of the map should naturally be handed over to Your Highness." Qi Xun's face darkened. He didn't want to get entangled too much, but these red tapes really made him uncomfortable.

"Then please ask the witch to wait for His Highness in Ganquan Palace." After saying that, the female official waved her hand and the convoy continued to move forward. When they arrived in front of an inner palace gate, "This is His Highness's inner palace. Please ask your guards to stop here. Please get off the car and walk."

Qi Xun got off the car, signaled the man in black to wait there, and walked into the palace gate alone. What came into view was Ganlu Palace.

The palace was vermilion, and the glazed tiles reflected dazzling light under the sun, but he could see the tall tower next door at a glance. That was where he once accompanied Yuebai in obscurity.

When Qi Xun entered the hall, the palace gate was suddenly closed. No one came in from outside, so Qi Xun walked into the hall on his own.

Sure enough, he saw Yuebai, also dressed in red and wearing a phoenix crown, standing there quietly. When she looked up and saw him, her eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly faded away.

"Are you guys okay?" Yuebai asked.

Qi Xun knew Yue Bai could tell the difference between the two of them, so he nodded and asked, "Are you okay?"

"As you can see, I am neither good nor bad. After all, I am the only crown prince in the palace." Yue Bai finished speaking, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then asked cautiously, "Can the Great Witch let him come out to meet me?"

They both knew who they were talking about, but under Yue Bai's expectant gaze, Qi Xun still shook his head: "He suffered too much loss because he didn't let me deal with the poisoning."

"Why?" Yuebai really couldn't understand. After all, in everyone's perception, Qi Xun was the real great wizard, and he always looked indifferent.

"Because I activated the Life and Death Gu and turned them all into poisonous corpses. They begged me to save them, and I let them live forever. Is there anything wrong with that?" Qi Xun seemed really puzzled.

But Yuebai broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. She looked into Qi Xun's eyes, his indifferent grey pupils, which reflected her own appearance clearly. Suddenly, a feeling of panic rose from the depths of her heart.

Qi Xun noticed that Yue Bai looked at him with a strange look in her eyes and asked, "Are you afraid of me? Is it because people in Nanyu say that people from Nanjiang are scary? But I won't hurt you, and I don't want to use you as a sacrifice now, so don't be afraid of me, okay?"

Even if it was a fake marriage, they should be newlyweds at this moment. The man in a wedding gown cautiously extended his hand to the woman in a wedding dress, "I came here just to accompany you."

Yue Bai looked at the hand that was extended to him and shook his head: "Great Witch, you don't have to do this for me. You still have the people in Southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Xinjiang is almost gone." Qi Xun said. Yue Bai looked up in shock. Qi Xun explained, "Everyone has been poisoned. It's just a matter of time, unless your mother is willing to give you the antidote."

Hearing this, Yuebai lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

"No need. You don't have to apologize to me for decisions made by others." Qi Xun thought, no one would understand Yue Bai better than him. They had been together in that high tower for so many cold days and nights. Even though Yue Bai didn't know of his existence, Qi Xun had accompanied Yue Bai for many years.

This time, he wanted to walk out of here with Yuebai in a dignified manner and take her back to Southern Xinjiang. This was not only what he had promised Qi Shu, but also his own wish.

"Yuebai, are you willing to go with me?"

"Where to go? Southern Xinjiang?" Yue Bai shook his head. "You can't protect yourself now, so I can't drag you down. Besides, Qi Shu's current condition is not good, so we can't act rashly."

"He was the one who asked me to take you away. You are not happy here, are you? Wouldn't it be better for me to take you back to southern Xinjiang?" Qi Xun asked.

"You can take me away, but what will happen after I leave? Not to mention how much you will have to pay, even if my mother directly leads the army south, the current combat power of southern Xinjiang is like an egg hitting a rock. What do you want everyone in the village to do?" Yuebai asked.

Qi Xun really didn't understand why Yue Bai, like Qi Shu, always had all kinds of concerns, so he fell silent as he did when facing Qi Shu.

"If you have a chance, bring them to me. I know they can't leave your vicinity. Since you are here, the rest of the people should follow you. I will let them all into the palace in two days." Yuebai said.

"Then today we..." Qi Xun didn't know what to say next.

Yuebai glanced at him, left, and turned back at the door: "If he wakes up, please tell him that I am fine."

Qi Xun watched Yue Bai open the door of the palace. A beam of light shone in, and she disappeared in the light.

Then Qi Xun looked at the gorgeous decorations in the palace, the red silk everywhere, including the burning dragon and phoenix candles, and slowly sat cross-legged in meditation, as if he was in a trance.

On the other side, in the empress's bedroom, the female official hurriedly whispered a few words in the empress's ear. Mei Jing asked, "Really?"

The female official nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. We all saw Your Highness leave Ganlu Palace with our own eyes. The great witch did not chase him out. Perhaps he has been subdued by Your Highness."

But Mei Jing didn't care. She knew it couldn't be that simple, so she said, "Go and see if the princess has gone to bed. If not, ask her to come over."

The female official took a look at the sky. It was not the time to go to bed. She wondered why His Majesty had asked the prince to come down, but she still went straight to Ganlu Palace without stopping.

"Your Highness." He called out tentatively.

A voice came from the palace maid inside: "My lord, is there something wrong?"

"His Majesty summons Your Highness." the female official replied.

There was a rustling sound inside the palace gate. When the door was opened again, Yuebai was already dressed neatly, changing into a casual dress instead of her wedding dress, and even the makeup on her face was removed completely.

When she saw Mei Jing, she looked her up and down and asked, "You don't like him? I thought you would be happy if I gave him to you."

"Mother Queen, you don't need to make excuses for your ambition. Whether I am happy or not is not important to you. I am just a crucial chess piece in your chess game." Yue Bai said, "So now that you have got what you want and the Great Wizard is in your hands, why do you still have to pretend to be so hypocritical for others to see?"

Mei Jing nodded: "As expected of my daughter, what do you think we should do next?"

"I want to meet other people in the village." Yuebai said, "I have recently become interested in Gu magic, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother to let them study it for me."

Mei Jing seemed to have no doubts and beckoned over the palace servants: "According to the request of Her Royal Highness, send the person to Her Royal Highness's palace in two days."

Yuebai achieved his goal and did not plan to stay any longer. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the note in Meijing's hand. On it was written the word "Life and Death Gu". Yuebai's heartbeat suddenly quickened a bit: "Queen Mother, can I take a look?"
