Lin Yuejiao suddenly appeared, and Chu Qingyue was so frightened that he dropped the things in his hand to the ground.

He hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but Lin Yuejiao picked it up before him, "This drone is broken, why are you still keeping it?"

The drone had some broken marks, but it was wiped clean and it was obvious that Chu Qingyue took good care of it.

This thing is broken, why is he taking such good care of it?

Lin Yuejiao was confused, and Tongzi's words came to her mind: [Host, Chu Qingyue cares about the things you gave him, which means he cares about you~]

She could understand what Tongzi meant, but she didn't dare to confront him in front of Chu Qingyue. Instead, she spoke to him with her mind.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are just friends!"

It's normal for friends to care about each other, right?

Lin Yuejiao didn't think much about it, but she didn't notice that Chu Qingyue's eyes were looking at her differently.

When he looked at others, his eyes were always indifferent, as if he was keeping people at a distance.

When he looked at her, his eyes were gentle.

"Leave a thought for me. When I was in Beiyi, there was no one I could trust around me, but it was this one that kept me company. Whenever I saw it, it was like seeing..."

"what did you see?"

Chu Qingyue suddenly stopped talking, and Lin Yuejiao looked confused.

Chu Qingyue looked at her, a strange light surging in his deep eyes, and then he said nonchalantly: "Can it be repaired?"

The topic changed, and Lin Yuejiao didn't ask any further questions. She looked at the drone in her hand and shook her head.

"It can't be fixed. If you like it, I'll bring you a new one next time!"

Chu Qingyue took the drone from her hand and said calmly: "No need, you won't need it in the future!"

The drones were originally used to scout the enemy situation. Now Chu Qingyue is no longer the young marquis of the Yongyi Marquisate, nor is he a court official. He is just an ordinary person and will no longer have anything to do with the court, so naturally he will not be able to use drones.

Lin Yuejiao sat down next to him. "The truth about the Chu family's case has been revealed. I heard that the emperor appointed you as the General of Zhenbei. Did you refuse?"

"Well, my mother and Xin'er are two weak women who need to be taken care of. As the only man in the family, I have to support them."

That being said, Lin Yuejiao knew that Chu Qingyue was extremely disappointed with the emperor, so she no longer pledged allegiance to him. She would rather give up her prominent status and draw a clear line between herself and the emperor.

Yes, considering the hatred for his father's murder, I think he would not be able to continue to be loyal to his enemy.

The Chu family's case was solved, and the entire Meng family was executed.

As for Meng Zuogeng, because he was in Tongchuan and held military power, the emperor suppressed the news of the extermination of the nine clans of the Meng family and secretly sent a message to the general guarding Danyang, ordering him to kill Meng Zuogeng in secret. At the same time, he appointed a new general to guard Tongchuan.

As for Princess Beiyi, the emperor not only did not kill her, but also arranged for her to live in the palace, and in Linzhaoxuan, which was closest to Chengqian Palace.

Now, the concubines in the harem could no longer sit still, thinking that the emperor favored the Princess of Beiyi, and they felt a new sense of crisis.

Even the Princess of Beiyi thought that the emperor took a fancy to her and was very pleased with it.

After seeing the splendor of the Xiling Palace and the wisdom and bravery of the emperor, she soon forgot about Chu Qingyue and decided not to return to Beiyi. She wanted to conquer the emperor and make him fall in love with her.

However, things went against one's wishes. After meeting the emperor on the day of entering the palace, the emperor never came to Linzhaoxuan.

Princess Beiyi's plan failed. After enduring for half a month, she finally couldn't help but threaten the palace maid to take her to see the emperor.

There was only one palace maid serving her, and under her coercion, the maid had no choice but to obey.

The palace maid brought the Princess of Beiyi to the Xuanzheng Hall, but was stopped outside by Eunuch Zhang.

"Princess, the Emperor is currently handling government affairs and has no time to see you. Please go back!"

Eunuch Zhang was polite but disrespectful to the Northern Barbarian princess. After all, she was a princess from an enemy country. Who would like her?

"You haven't reported it yet, how do you know that the emperor won't see me? Get out of the way, I want to see the emperor."

Princess Beiyi's attitude is as arrogant as that of Concubine Shen back then.

Seeing that she was trying to force her way in, Eunuch Zhang's face suddenly darkened and he stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Princess, this is the Xiling Palace. When you arrive in Xiling, you must abide by the rules of Xiling. Without the emperor's summons, the princess is not allowed to enter the Xuanzheng Palace without permission. Send the princess back!"

Being ruthlessly stopped by Eunuch Zhang, Princess Beiyi looked extremely unhappy. If she were in Beiyi, she would have chopped Eunuch Zhang to death long ago.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Princess Beiyi suppressed her anger and left in anger.

Eunuch Zhang then went into the Xuanzheng Hall to report to the emperor. After hearing about the story of the Beiyi Princess, the emperor just nodded lightly without much emotion.

Everyone in the harem speculated that the emperor intended to marry the Princess of Beiyi, otherwise he would not have let her live in Linzhaoxuan.

But Eunuch Zhang saw that the Emperor didn't particularly care about Princess Beiyi at this time, and he was unsure of the Emperor's thoughts, so he didn't dare to say much.

Princess Beiyi was very angry because she couldn't see the emperor, so she asked the palace maid to take her around.

Soon, she followed the palace maid to Taiye Lake and saw a gorgeously dressed woman sitting in a pavilion not far away with a child in her arms. She became curious.

"Who is that person?"

"Princess, it's Concubine Xian."

"Empress Xian? Is she the woman most favored by your emperor?"

During the time she lived in the palace, Princess Beiyi found out everything about the harem. She knew who the emperor favored the most and who he disliked the least.

Thinking that she would be the emperor's woman, she looked at Xu Xiyue with hostility and wanted to compete with the most favored woman in the harem.

"Princess, let's not go over there, so as not to bump into Empress Xian and the little prince."

Seeing that Princess Beiyi was about to go to Concubine Xian, the palace maid hurriedly stopped her from going.

Princess Beiyi pushed the maid away unhappily, "I won't eat her, so why can't I leave? She is your honorable Concubine Xian, so I am not precious anymore?"

"Princess, princess..."

Unable to stop the Beiyi Princess, the palace maid had no choice but to chase after her.

In the eyes of others, there were only Xu Xiyue and his mother in the pavilion, but in fact there was also Lin Yuejiao. She had not stayed at Chu Qingyue's place for long before she came to see Xu Xiyue and his mother.

The soft little Yin'er nestled in his mother's arms, clenching his pink fists and giggling.

Lin Yuejiao held little Yin'er's hand, eyes full of love, and looked at little Yin'er and said to Xu Xiyue: "Why hasn't Luluo come back yet? Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't get tired, or I can take you back to Changle Palace to rest?"

Xu Xiyue was wearing thin clothes when she came out, and worried that she would catch a cold, Luoluo went back to Changle Palace to get a cloak.

"It's okay. I was recovering from my injuries a few days ago, and Doctor Chen didn't let me leave Changle Palace, fearing that I might get hurt. It's rare for me to come out today, and the fairy is here too, so I'll stay for a while."

Xu Xiyue smiled and looked at the child in her arms with a loving face.

Xu Xiyue wanted to sit for a while longer, so Lin Yuejiao let her do as she pleased. As she was playing with little Yin'er, the voice of the system rang in her mind.

"Host, the Princess of Beiyi is here."

"Huh?" Lin Yuejiao looked up and saw that the Princess of Beiyi was already approaching. Before she even got close, she released her naked hostility.

Soon, Princess Beiyi walked into the pavilion and performed the Beiyi salute to Xu Xiyue.

"Sangzhi has met Empress Xian. I have long heard of her great name. She is truly a beauty, and her reputation is well-deserved."
