"Your Majesty, please think twice! Now you already have a queen." Xue Qing paused and continued, "The more important reason is that I don't want to enter the palace. I don't want to be around a lot of women and revolve around a man every day."

Zhou Qian: "You are my only legal wife, isn't that enough?"

Xue Qing found that he could not communicate normally with Zhou Qian at all.

Xue Qing stood there, feeling helpless. It was impossible for her to enter the palace and become his queen. Not to mention the difficulty of passing the hurdle of all the civil and military officials in the court, even the hurdle of the imperial master was impossible for her. What's more, she didn't want to step into the palace full of disputes from the bottom of her heart.

She looked at Zhou Qian and said firmly, "Your Majesty, why are you so persistent? I will never accept the position of Queen. The civil and military officials in the court have their own considerations. They will not agree to a woman who has been surrounded by so many misfortunes to become the Queen. The Imperial Master regards me as a thorn in his side. What I yearn for is a free life. The palace is just a huge cage for me."

Zhou Qian frowned, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty: "I am the Son of Heaven. If I say you can be the Queen, then you can be it. I have made up my mind, so don't put up any more unnecessary resistance."

He had no choice but to use the emperor's dignity and change the title.

The Imperial Master was listening to their conversation from the side. Seeing that the Emperor wanted Xia Xueqing to be the Queen, he became more certain of his idea and decided to kill Xia Xueqing.

Zhou Qian actually insisted on making her the queen. How could the Great Zhou Dynasty be preserved? He had to do what the previous emperor had failed to do.

At this time, Zhou Qian threatened Xia Xueqing again: "If you don't go back to the capital with me, no one in the Xue family will survive."

Xue Qing was angry and helpless when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Qian with a look of determination in her eyes and blurted out: "Zhou Qian, how can you be so cruel? You are the emperor, but you threaten me with the lives of your family. Is this how you govern the country?"

Zhou Qian felt a pain in his heart when he heard Xue Qing's words, but he still said firmly: "I just want you to be my queen. As long as you agree, I will ensure that your Xue family is safe and sound."

Xue Qing sneered: "Your Majesty, do you think I will still believe you? You can threaten me with my family now, I dare not imagine what you will do in the future."

After saying that, Xue Qing looked at Zhou Qian like this and said no more. He turned around and walked into the thick fog.

The thick fog was like a natural barrier, quickly engulfing her figure.

Seeing this, the Imperial Master was worried that Xue Qing would escape, so he followed her in without hesitation. He shouted as he followed her, "Witch, you can't escape. Today is the day you die."

Xue Qing quickly shuttled through the thick fog. She was familiar with the terrain here. Although she was a little nervous, she remained calm.

She responded to the Imperial Master: "Imperial Master, you are so persistent in pursuing me. Do you have something to hide? Why do you want to kill me?"

The national teacher sneered: "Humph, you are a witch, staying in the world will only cause trouble. If you disappear, everything will return to normal."

Xue Qing said angrily: "Back on track? What you mean by back on track is to let the whole court be deceived by you and let the emperor be manipulated by you?"

The Imperial Master was enraged by Xue Qing's words: "You are talking nonsense! If you dare to say anything nonsense again, I will kill you now."

Xue Qing was not afraid: "Master, if you kill me, do you think you can escape all the blame? The emperor will find out the truth sooner or later."

The Imperial Master was startled, but he was already overwhelmed by anger: "Then I can't let you get out alive."

At this moment, Xue Qing suddenly stopped and found herself in a familiar place where there was a hidden cave that she had discovered by chance before.

She thought that maybe she could hide in a cave and escape the imperial teacher's pursuit.

When the Imperial Master saw Xue Qing stop, he thought she had nowhere to escape, so he slowly approached her and asked, "Where else can you run to?"

Xue Qing stared at the Imperial Master and said, "Imperial Master, do you think you can kill me?"

The Imperial Master snorted coldly, "Today is the day you die."

Before he finished speaking, the Imperial Master flashed and rushed towards Xue Qing like a ghost. Xue Qing was prepared, and he moved flexibly and dodged the Imperial Master's fierce attack.

The Imperial Master's attack missed, so he slapped out with his backhand, the wind from his palm whistling, carrying a strong internal force towards Xue Qing's face.

Xue Qing was not in a hurry, crossed his palms in front of his chest, and took the palm strike. With a "bang", the internal forces of the two people intersected, and the air around them seemed to be shaken and the fallen leaves on the ground were also swept away by this force.

Xue Qing took advantage of the situation to counterattack. She jumped up lightly and kicked towards the imperial teacher with her legs like a whirlwind.

The Imperial Master quickly retreated, waving his hands quickly to form an internal force barrier in front of him, blocking Xue Qing's attack. After Xue Qing landed, he rushed forward again, punching the Imperial Master like raindrops.

The national teacher dodged left and right, and occasionally counterattacked.

The two had fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, but still no winner was decided.

The Imperial Master was secretly surprised. He did not expect Xue Qing's Kung Fu to be so powerful. He had made great progress compared to before.

Xue Qing did not dare to slack off at all. She knew how powerful the imperial teacher was and she might lose her life if she was not careful.

At this moment, Xue Qing suddenly shook her body, and her figure seemed to blend into the surrounding white mist, and she disappeared instantly. The Imperial Master was startled and immediately became alert.

He held his breath and concentrated on the movements around him.

Zhou Qian saw Xue Qing and the Imperial Master enter the mysterious white mist, his brows furrowed, his eyes grim. He immediately ordered the shadow guards to enter the white mist without hesitation, his tone full of unquestionable majesty: "Make sure to capture Xia Xueqing alive."

After receiving the order, Guan Zheng quickly gave orders. He shouted to the shadow guards, "Some of you go in to arrest people, and the rest of you stay outside to protect the emperor. Don't slack off at all."

The shadow guards responded in unison: "Yes!" Then, some of them rushed into the white mist with agility and were instantly swallowed by the white mist. The remaining shadow guards surrounded Zhou Qian with serious expressions, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Xue Zhong and Xue He stood at the entrance of the white fog, anxious. Xue Zhong paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, his face full of worry. Xue He stared at the depths of the white fog, trying to see through the layers of fog to see what was going on inside.

"Father, what should we do? There are many dangers in the white fog, and Qing'er..." Xue He's voice was filled with obvious anxiety.

Xue Zhong sighed and said, "He'er, don't worry too much. Qing'er is smart and will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. But the national teacher is insidious and cunning, I'm afraid he will use some despicable means."
