Lin Yuejiao was stunned because the system did not allow her to contact Chu Qingyue. She hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Chu Qingyue and the Northern Barbarians..."

Before she finished her question, she suddenly heard Concubine Shu exclaim, "Sister!"

When Lin Yuejiao turned around, she saw Xu Xiyue pounce on the emperor and block an arrow for him.

"Princess Chun..." The emperor's pupils trembled. He did not expect Xu Xiyue would risk her life to save him.

There was an arrow stuck in Xu Xiyue's chest and her clothes were stained with blood. She groaned in pain, grabbed the emperor's arm and told him to leave quickly.

The emperor picked up Xu Xiyue and was furious. He ordered the imperial guards to kill the assassin, and then retreated under the cover of a team of imperial guards.

A large number of imperial guards rushed to the Qinghe Hall to protect the emperor. There were about twenty to thirty assassins, but they were all brave and warlike. Even though they were surrounded and attacked by the imperial guards, there were very few casualties.

Xu Xiyue was protected by the emperor, so it was inconvenient for Lin Yuejiao to treat her injuries, so she simply looked for Chu Qingyue among the assassins.

Soon, she found Chu Qingyue. Even though he was dressed in black and had his face covered, she recognized him.

She would never forget those familiar eyes.

Those eyes used to be full of coldness and pride, but now they were filled with hatred and murderous intent.

He must have known that the emperor had exterminated the entire Chu family, otherwise he would not have joined forces with the northern barbarians to enter the palace and assassinate the emperor.

Seeing Chu Qingyue rushing towards the retreating emperor with a sword, Lin Yuejiao teleported over to stop him.

"Chu Qingyue!"

Hearing the familiar voice in a trance, the man's body stiffened, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Feeling the softness on the back of his hand, he looked down and saw a small white hand holding his hand.

When I raised my eyes, I saw the face that had appeared in my dreams countless times.

is her……

The moment he saw Lin Yuejiao, Chu Qingyue clenched the sword in his hand.

No one expected that they would meet each other in this way.

He stared at her steadily, remained silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!"

"No, come with me!" Lin Yuejiao held his hand tightly.

Chu Qingyue seemed a little annoyed and pushed her away without saying a word.

Lin Yuejiao was caught off guard and staggered backwards, just as a guard with a sword in hand stabbed her from behind.

In the eyes of the imperial guards, the person to be killed is the assassin.

In Chu Qingyue's eyes, the imperial guards wanted to kill Lin Yuejiao.

In a hurry, he grabbed her hand and pulled it into his arms, then swung his sword at the imperial guard, but he was too late to avoid danger and was wounded by a sword from behind.

He completely forgot that she was not an 'ordinary person' and how could she be hurt by others.

Lin Yuejiao saw with her own eyes the imperial guards sneak attack Chu Qingyue and slash him on the back with a sword, but he said nothing and turned around and killed the imperial guard behind him with a sword.

"Chu Qingyue, be careful!"

Seeing countless imperial guards rushing over and surrounding Chu Qingyue, Lin Yuejiao hurriedly grabbed his hand and took him away.

Chu Qingyue disappeared out of thin air, and all the imperial guards who came to kill him were dumbfounded.

Did they have a seizure? Why did the assassin disappear?

Chu Qingyue only felt the scene in front of him change, and he was standing in a deserted mansion.

The cold moonlight shines down, making the surrounding scenery even more desolate.

He was very familiar with every blade of grass, every brick and tile here; it was the Chu Mansion in his memory.

The once glorious Chu Mansion is now dilapidated and desolate, just like his heart.

Lin Yuejiao stood behind Chu Qingyue and saw that he clenched his fists. She called him and was about to speak when he suddenly turned around and pulled off the mask on his face. The strange look in his eyes made her feel cold at heart.

"Send me back!" He stared at her, his tone cold and unquestionable.

Lin Yuejiao pursed her lips and said nothing. She bought a bottle of medicine from the system mall and said worriedly, "You are injured. Let me take a look first!"

She anxiously went forward to check his injuries, but he suddenly raised his sword to her and repeated, "Send me back!"

Lin Yuejiao was slightly startled. He actually pointed the sword at her...

Feeling inexplicably upset, she suppressed the discomfort and met his cold gaze.

"Sending you back to assassinate the emperor? Chu Qingyue, have you forgotten how many soldiers and civilians in Xiling died at the hands of the Northern Barbarians? Have you forgotten how you fought desperately against the Northern Barbarians in order to defend Tongchuan? But now you are with..."

"So what?" He interrupted her forcefully and said coldly, "I protected Xiao Jiuzhao's world, but he killed my loved ones. I want to use his life to sacrifice to my parents and Xin'er."

Chu Qingyue was filled with strong hatred. Lin Yuejiao understood his feelings, but she couldn't let him kill the emperor.

Although I don’t know why the Northern Barbarians helped Chu Qingyue, they definitely have bad intentions.

If Xiao Jiuzhao died, the Northern Barbarians would definitely take the opportunity to attack Xiling. By then, the people would be living in misery and Chu Qingyue would become a sinner of the world. We cannot let this happen.

Moreover, one of the tasks assigned to her by the system was to stop Chu Qingyue from turning evil and rebelling and to save Xu Xiyue's life.

So, no matter what, she would not send Chu Qingyue to the palace.

"Chu Qingyue, listen to me, uncle..."

"Miss Lin..." Chu Qingyue interrupted her again, his eyes becoming colder and colder, "If you still consider me a friend, then don't stop me. Xiao Jiuzhao and I have an irreconcilable relationship. If I don't avenge this, I would be unworthy of being a son."

Knowing that Lin Yuejiao would not send him back to the palace, Chu Qingyue put away his sword and walked away.

As they passed each other, Lin Yuejiao grabbed his sleeve.

Chu Qingyue paused, a complex expression flashed across his dark eyes, "You stopped me for Xiao Jiuzhao?"

"no!"

Lin Yuejiao raised her head and looked at the stern profile, "I did this for you."

"Chu Qingyue, Uncle Chu would rather commit suicide to prove your innocence. If you really kill the emperor, then the Chu family will never be cleared of the crime of treason. Do you want Uncle Chu to sacrifice in vain?"

She thought these words could persuade Chu Qingyue to give up his determination to kill the emperor and redress the grievances for the Chu family.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qingyue flicked her sleeves and shook her hand away, saying coldly: "It doesn't matter anymore!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Lin Yuejiao stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the figure that was getting farther and farther away in the night.

The ancients valued reputation more than life, otherwise Marquis Yongyi would not have committed suicide to prove the innocence of the Chu family.

Chu Qingyue must be so desperate that he would rather bear the stigma for the rest of his life and kill the emperor for revenge.

What on earth had he been through in the past six months?

"System, Chu Qingyue is back. Can I learn about his past experiences?"

Lin Yuejiao was eager to know Chu Qingyue's experience. This time the system did not stop her and projected Chu Qingyue's experience in Beiyi for her to see.

Tongzi also acted as a tour guide, explaining to her every experience of Chu Qingyue.

After reading about what happened to Chu Qingyue in Beiyi, Lin Yuejiao felt so distressed that her nose felt sore, her eyes were swollen, and she almost cried.

"He was abused so badly in Beiyi, why didn't you tell me? If you don't let me interfere too much with Chu Qingyue's fate, at least let me save him. If he hadn't lived such a hard life and suffered the blow of his relatives' unjust death, how could he have turned evil..."

How can a kind person become bad for no reason? He is forced to do so!

Lin Yuejiao scolded Tongzi angrily, but Tongzi didn't dare to say a word.

Worried that Chu Qingyue would be in danger if she returned to the palace, she didn't bother to scold Tongzi and hurried to find him.

However, when she found Chu Qingyue, she saw a woman standing behind Chu Qingyue and hugging him.
