After rebirth, she remarried the crazy-criticizing emperor's uncle: she doted on him to the bon

Xiao Muli subconsciously didn't want to let her go...

"His Majesty!"

Wu Qingyue looked at the golden-armored guard who still refused to let her leave, and she gave Xiao Muli a questioning look.

Xiao Muli naturally understood the meaning in her eyes, but at this moment, he found that he could not find any suitable reason to keep her.

Helplessly, he could only sigh slightly, and then slowly said: "Let her go."

As this simple order was issued, the golden-armored guards who had surrounded Wu Qingyue like an iron wall instantly turned into golden streams of light and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you."

Wu Qingyue nodded slightly to Xiao Muli with an expressionless face to express her gratitude, then turned and left without hesitation.

After Wu Qingyue returned to the side hall, she immediately called Xiaotao and decisively ordered: "Xiaotao, pack your luggage quickly."

Xiao Tao looked at her mistress blankly and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Miss, why do we have to pack our luggage all of a sudden?"

"Return to the Marquis' Mansion."

When Xiao Tao heard the words "return to the Marquis' Mansion", her eyes suddenly lit up and the expression on her face became noticeably happier.

"Yes, miss!"

After receiving clear instructions, Xiao Tao did not dare to delay at all, and began to pack up various clothes and valuables with quick hands and feet.

Before long, all the luggage they needed was ready.

The palace seemed particularly quiet and deep under the cover of night. Wu Qingyue and Xiao Tao each carried a bag and walked carefully towards the palace gate.

However, just as they were about to approach the palace gate, a large group of royal guards holding spears and torches suddenly appeared in front of them. They were lined up in an orderly manner, blocking the way of the two.

"This princess has important matters to attend to and needs to leave the palace. Why don't you let me in quickly?"

The leading Imperial Guard officer, with a serious expression, shouted at the top of his voice, "Princess Ninth Prince, please stay! His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to step out of this palace without permission!"

Hearing this, Wu Qingyue's heart trembled violently, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She never expected that Xiao Muli could actually guess that she would leave the palace today.

Xiao Tao, standing beside her, was so angry that her eyebrows raised up. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "What on earth do you mean by this? Open your eyes and look carefully. The person standing before you is the Ninth Princess! Do you dare to block the Ninth Princess's path?"

The Imperial Guards' manager looked a little embarrassed when faced with Xiao Tao's angry rebuke, and seemed to be in a dilemma.

After all, they were well aware of the reputation and strength of the Ninth Prince Xiao Shiyi. If this prince knew that they dared to intercept his princess, he would probably be severely punished even if he didn't die!

But if they were let off so easily, once the emperor held them accountable later, they would surely face even more severe punishment.

So, the steward bit the bullet and bowed to Wu Qingyue, carefully explaining, "Princess Ninth Prince, please calm down. We are only following orders. I hope you will be magnanimous and not make things difficult for us."

Wu Qingyue naturally understood the difficulties these people faced; after all, they were merely following the emperor's orders. She had no intention of becoming too entangled with them, but the thought of the man now at the border, his life or death uncertain, made her heart gnaw like a thousand ants, and she simply couldn't sit idly by.

"What if this princess insists on breaking in?"

Her eyes were cold and her voice was like frost, which made people feel chilled.

"This……"

The Imperial Guards' manager's expression changed slightly, and he felt conflicted. However, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Ninth Princess!"

Wu Qingyue quickly protected Xiaotao beside her behind her, then flashed, clenched his fists, and assumed a fighting posture.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense, as if a spark could trigger a fierce conflict.

However, just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, suddenly, a loud shout came from afar: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Hearing this cry, the imperial guards were stunned for a moment, then they all knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully. Meanwhile, Xiao Muli was sitting in a wheelchair, being carefully pushed by two palace maids, slowly walking towards them.

His eyes never left the woman from beginning to end, and were firmly locked on Wu Qingyue from the moment he appeared.

"I knew you wouldn't keep to yourself." Xiao Muli's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a half-smile.

Wu Qingyue did not flinch, and met his gaze directly, without a trace of fear in her eyes: "Why are you stopping me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muli frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "I told you, I have sent people to find the emperor's uncle."

"I know." Wu Qingyue nodded without hesitation.

"Then you are worried about me?" Xiao Muli stared at the stubborn woman in front of him and asked.

"no!"

Wu Qingyue almost blurted out and quickly denied it, "I'm just simply worried about him!"

After she finished speaking, she bit her lips tightly, as if she was afraid that if she said another word, she would reveal more of her inner emotions.

Xiao Muli looked at her deeply and sighed softly, "I know you value friendship. But the situation at the border is complicated right now. If you, a woman, go there, it will only increase the danger."

Wu Qingyue was about to retort when Xiao Muli raised his hand to stop her. "I promise you, I will send you news about the Ninth Prince every day."

Wu Qingyue was silent, she knew that what Xiao Muli said was true.

Xiaotao quietly pulled the corner of her clothes from behind, indicating that she should accept the condition.

Wu Qingyue took a deep breath and said, "I hope Your Majesty will keep his word."

Xiao Muli nodded slightly, "Sir, don't joke."

He waved his hand and the Royal Guards made way.

Wu Qingyue took Xiaotao and walked back slowly. As they walked, Wu Qingyue looked back at Xiao Muli, who was still sitting quietly in the wheelchair looking at her.

After returning to the side hall, Wu Qingyue sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

"Miss, aren't we going back to the Marquis' Mansion? How did it become a trip to the border?"

Xiaotao doesn’t know about the border situation yet.

The woman quickly told her everything and finally said, "I'm going to go find him!"

Xiao Tao couldn't help but persuade her, "Miss, His Majesty is right. You are pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for you to go to the border. You might as well stay in the palace and wait for news!"

Wu Qingyue nodded softly, but she always felt uneasy in her heart.

She didn't know whether this uneasiness came from the unknown Xiao Shiyi in the distance, or from Xiao Muli who had just confronted her.

At night, Wu Qingyue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. In a daze, she seemed to dream that Xiao Shiyi stood in front of her, covered in blood, with a sad look in his eyes.

Wu Qingyue woke up suddenly, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.
