The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

“My marriage to the Emperor was a political one. The Zhou family supported the Emperor, so the Empress Dowager made me the Crown Princess, and later the Empress.

But I don’t like the emperor, my childhood sweetheart is Qin Zhong.”

Qin Rubing heard from her mother Lin Shuya about the past love affair between Empress Zhou Zichan and her father Qin Zhong.

But she didn't expect that more than 20 years later, the queen, who was in a high position, still couldn't forget her old love.

The queen held Qin Rubing's hand and her speech speed suddenly increased.

"Rubing, you don't know how happy I was when the emperor granted you and Tiancheng a marriage.

Good girl, you are my most ideal daughter-in-law, and I hope you will be happy.

But if you really want you and your children to have a comfortable and happy life, Tiancheng must sit in the highest position.

I will do my best to pave the way for you."

Qin Rubing was very surprised. She didn't expect that Chu Tiancheng's biggest helper would be the Queen.

What she had learned before was that the Queen never competed for favor and allowed Concubine Qi to become arrogant due to her favor.

She thought it was because the queen was a lady from a noble family and had no ability to compete for it.

It turns out that I don’t care because I don’t love you.

A mother is strong, and it seems that the queen is also very hardworking for her son.

Qin Rubing nodded vigorously, "Thank you, mother!"

Qin Rubing returned to the General's Mansion, packed up briefly, and changed her appearance to go to the reception building.

At noon, in the private room on the third floor of the Yingbin Building.

Qin Rubing met Chu Tiancheng and reported the situation at the Queen's place.

"Your Majesty, my mother has made up her mind to lend a helping hand to you."

Chu Tiancheng was not surprised at all. He said, "I have also received the latest information."

He looked at Zuo Qingyun.

Zuo Qingyun understood and immediately reported to Qin Rubing:

"Princess, the director of the Imperial Hospital who said that the prince would not live for more than three months has recently died of an inexplicable acute illness.

We secretly conducted an investigation. Based on the results of the investigation, the prince guessed that the queen was responsible."

Qin Rubing's face changed slightly, and she thought to herself: The Queen has actually taken action...

Zhou Zihan continued, "Now the princelings have no reason to stop the King of Yan from going to war."

Zuo Qingyun looked at Chu Tiancheng and said carefully, "Can we ask Minister Zhou to write a memorial to recommend the prince?"

Zhou Zihan immediately said: "As long as Your Majesty agrees, I will go back and tell my father!"

His tone was full of firmness and determination, as if he couldn't wait to carry out this task.

Chu Tiancheng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for his decision.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Chu Tiancheng nodded slowly.

When everyone saw this, they all showed joy on their faces.

They had long been full of expectations and confidence in the King of Yan leading his troops to conquer the southern kingdom.

Qin Rubing sat quietly aside, looking at everyone's cheerful faces, and her mood became excited as well.

Zuo Qingyun said: "Your Majesty, when will Gu Yidao set off?"

"I'll leave in three days."

"Your Highness, I want to go too." When Gu Yidao was mentioned, Qin Rubing immediately interrupted.

"Where are you going?"

"I will go to the Southland with them."

Chu Tiancheng looked at Qin Rubing, paused and said: "I have thought about it, it is too dangerous, you don't need to participate."

Qin Rubing thought to herself, it would be dangerous if you go.

Han Yijian immediately said, "Princess, go ahead, I will follow you."

"Nonsense!" Chu Tiancheng glared at Han Yijian.

Qin Rubing looked at everyone and said, "Only this princess and Hero Han can go. You don't have to go."

Qin Rubing looked at He Fugui and said:

"Master He, there must be a lot of caravans traveling between the Eastern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, right?

Your He family should also have business dealings with the Southern Kingdom, right? "

"Well, yes." He Fugui said hesitantly.

"This princess and Mr. Han will take Gu Yidao and his family of three and blend into your caravan heading to the Southern Kingdom. We will not attract anyone's attention."

Zuo Qingyun looked at Qin Rubing and said, "I'll go with you too."

Chu Tiancheng said nothing, his brows furrowed.

He stared at Qin Rubing deeply, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Qin Rubing also stared back at him without flinching, her icy cold eyes revealed a determination to win.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Their eyes met, and they seemed to be having a silent conversation, and each of them could read something from each other's eyes.

Chu Tiancheng cannot leave the imperial capital for the time being. Qin Rubing did not say how to take Gu Yidao away, but seeing her confident look, it is worth a try.

In the end, Chu Tiancheng's hesitation was broken by Qin Rubing's determination.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if he had made an important decision.

"Okay!" Chu Tiancheng nodded, with a hint of determination in his voice.

This simple word carries so much meaning.

It represents Chu Tiancheng's trust in Qin Rubing, and also symbolizes the future challenges they will face together.

Afterwards, Chu Tiancheng dispatched Zuo Qingyun, Han Yijian, He Fugui, Yan Er, and Gu Yidao's family of three to the Southern Kingdom.

"Everyone must follow the princess's lead along the way." Chu Tiancheng said.

"Yes." Everyone obeyed.

Qin Rubing will bring all members of the "Special Agent Team No. 9" with him.

Next, Chu Tiancheng, Zuo Qingyun, He Fugui and Qin Rubing worked out a detailed plan together.

He Fugui was responsible for forming a He family caravan and going to the government to apply for a pass to go to the southern country to sell specialties from the eastern country.

Qin Rubing and all the others disguised themselves and blended into the caravan.

Three days later, Chenshi.

The caravan of He's Trading Company set out from the south gate of the imperial capital and headed for the southern country.

There were two carriages in the caravan. Qin Rubing was in one carriage, along with Zhuxiang, Yanhong, and Doudou. In the other carriage were He Fugui, Zuo Qingyun, and Gu Yidao.

Han Yijian, Yan Er and Qin Rubing's other men all followed on horseback.

In addition, there were twenty or thirty people in the caravan, some of whom were responsible for driving the carts carrying goods, and some were responsible for guarding on horseback.

Going south from the imperial capital, there are hills.

The group walked slowly along the winding trade road.

The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling intertwined together, like a melodious march.

The scenery along the way was picturesque and refreshing, but the caravan members had no time to appreciate the scenery and remained alert all the time.

After all, in this wilderness, all kinds of unexpected situations may occur at any time.

As night falls, the starry sky shines brightly.

The caravan found a sheltered place to camp and rest. The bonfire was burning, lighting up the entire camp. People sat together and shared food.

Nothing happened all night.

At noon the next day, the caravan traveled to a valley and encountered a group of bandits.

They are numerous and have ill intentions.

The caravan's guards responded quickly and engaged in a fierce battle with the bandits.

Han Yijian rushed in front, his sword skills were so sharp that the bandits did not dare to approach easily.

Yan Er used his lightness skills to shuttle through the mountains and attack the bandits unexpectedly.

Zuo Qingyun used his martial arts to fight the enemy in close combat.

However, as the number of bandits increased, the caravan gradually fell into trouble.

At this moment, Gu Yidao made his move. His sword skills were like a violent storm, instantly killing several bandits and shocking the whole audience.

The caravan took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the bandits retreated when they saw the situation was not good.

Qin Rubing witnessed all this and couldn't help but look at Gu Yidao's martial arts with admiration.

However, what she didn't expect was that Gu Yidao's swordsmanship exposed his whereabouts and brought great danger.
