Her Majesty the Queen is also running away from home today

As soon as this conjecture came out, Bai Ying suddenly became worried.

The fifth princess grew up with Baiying since she was a child. Later, during the war, she assisted her father and acted as an agent of state affairs, guarding the rear.

In this short half of her life, it can be said that she devoted herself to serving the country, dedicated half of her life, and worked hard for half of her life. Naturally, she had no time to think about relationship issues.

Although he has experienced a lot in this half-life, judging from his age alone, he is still in the prime of his youth.

Of course, Bai Ying subconsciously ignored that the current average age of marriage for women is around 16 years old.

Not to mention that she herself is 26 "old", and her sister is only two years younger than her.

At the age of 24, even in the Baibu Kingdom, it still falls into the category of "late marriage", so this time the ministers will try their best to facilitate this "marriage".

However, in Baiying's eyes, her sister will always be her "sister", not just a person in power with a princess code name.

The rational side told her externally that the fifth younger sister Bai Wei was already an adult who could take charge of her own affairs, and she could even handle important national affairs with confidence.

But her sensibility kept her from getting rid of the illusion that her sister would always be the child she stood behind and needed her to take care of and protect.

Now when it comes to emotional issues such as feelings, Baiying's hidden sense of crisis like an old hen protecting her cubs is suddenly awakened.

Fifth Sister is still young—of course this is just Bai Ying's own illusion, and she has no experience. What if she is deceived by a goblin from outside?

Jing Mo sat on the side and continued to drink tea, with an unwavering demeanor, while slowly adding another cup of tea to Bai Ying, without seeming anxious at all.

Jing Mo's thinking is not as complicated as Bai Ying's. In her opinion, in terms of emotions alone, even the younger fifth princess is much more sensitive than Bai Ying herself.

Not to mention whether there is something tricky now, it is still unclear, even if there is something, Jing Mo is sure that it will not be the fifth princess who suffers in the end.

However, Baiying fell into a cub-protecting mentality for a while and couldn't extricate herself. Jingmo simply stopped talking and reminded her, and just smiled at her troubled and entangled appearance.

"No." In the end, Bai Ying slapped the table with firm eyes, as if she had made up her mind, "I'll go and have a look."

"That's good." Jing Mo was not surprised, and reminded by the way, "Maybe that Shang girl is already awake, so you should go and have a look on the way."

"Aren't you going?" Bai Ying turned to look at her suspiciously.

"Well, I have other important things to do." Jing Mo drew his tone, and continued to explain after a while, "I'll go and visit those 'heroes' first."

Issues related to Baiying's life, even if they are only trivial details, can always easily affect Jingmo's mind.

Bai Ying froze for a moment, then nodded, but did not insist on following her.

No matter how close they are, there will always be something that they don't want the other party to see. Since Jing Mo insists, Bai Ying will not force it, as long as she confirms that she will be fine.

After confirming what to do next, Bai Ying got up first and left.

Jing Mo sat quietly in the same place for a while, and did not come back to his senses until the tea was cold.

She glanced at the empty gazebo, and finally her eyes fell back on the teacup next to her. She smiled lightly, drank the cold tea in her hand, and then got up and left.

.......

When Shang Lu woke up again, what he saw was not the familiar beam, but Bai Ying's face.

"what--"

Bai Ying covered Shanglu's mouth: "Shut up."

"........"

Shang Lu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at the sight of kidnapping a hostage, and his nervous mood calmed down a lot, and he slowly realized where she was right now.

Shang Lu closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, then nodded with difficulty.

Only then did Baiying put down her hands, sat back on the bed, looked Shanglu up and down: "How about rest?"

"...cough—" Shanglu opened his mouth, and the original tentative words were blocked in his throat, and he almost choked himself to death.

Seeing Bai Ying's natural attitude, Shang Lu was embarrassed to make any fuss and could only nod honestly.

"It's, it's okay." Shang Lu stammered, "That, that, the bed is quite soft."

"If you need to speak directly." Bai Ying paused, and then said, "Do you want anything?"

Bai Yingwen's tone was the same as usual, but there was something else in Shanglu's ears, and her mood was a little complicated.

If Bai Ying was just her savior, Shang Lu would have joked with her blatantly at this time, but now that she knew Bai Ying's identity, she immediately became cautious.

Do you want to kneel down and salute?

Shang Lu took a sneak peek at Baiying, seeing that she didn't respond, and he couldn't kneel down abruptly, so he could only maintain his original posture stiffly.

In the past, it was one thing to brag casually about not being afraid of power when traveling in the rivers and lakes, but it was another feeling to really face the master of the country.

What's even more frightening is that she also recognized Her Majesty the Empress as her younger brother.

Now Shang Lu can't help but start to recall whether she has ever scolded the "dog emperor" in front of Bai Ying during the short few days of dating.

After all, with Baiying's usual taciturn and silent attitude, most of the time when she doesn't smile or speak, it seems that she has the intention of settling accounts after autumn.

Shanglu was so frightened that her mind was not clear, and she didn't remember that it was Baiying who saved her.

If you really want to settle accounts with her because you don't know if there is a word to say, then you won't bother to save her.

Taking a step back, it is impossible for her to run with Shanglu.

But looking at Shang Lu's tangled appearance, Bai Ying didn't say a word to remind her, and just watched her face getting paler and paler silently, as if she had been imbued with some heinous fate.

After a while, Shanglu finally recovered from the awkward silence.

Seeing that Bai Ying was still waiting patiently for her reply, she could only bite the bullet and make a request without confidence.

"I, can I go and see Su Ye?"

When making this request, Shang Lu was a little nervous.

She knew that when Su Ye was brought back, he must be dealt with as a crime. Not long had passed, and he was probably still under interrogation.

Shanglu knew that this request was a bit embarrassing, but other than that, she couldn't think of any other "want" for the time being.

Right now her situation is not very clear, but what happened to Su Ye was like a thorn stuck in her throat, making her uneasy.

Shang Lu didn't even expect to get any answers from Su Ye, he just wanted to see her again.

As for what to do when they meet, she doesn't even know.

Originally, Shanglu thought that Baiying would at least hesitate for a while for such a request, but she did not expect that she nodded and agreed quite readily, and her actions were extraordinary.

"Go now?" Bai Ying asked, while already standing up.

"Ah?" Shang Lu was stunned for a while, then nodded in a daze.

"Let's go." Bai Ying said, and opened the door.

"..." Shang Lu looked up at Bai Ying blankly, forgetting all the reasons he had prepared, and didn't know how to react for a while.

.....It's...so easy?

Shanglu's wish was easily fulfilled, but she didn't feel the slightest sense of joy and satisfaction, only full of weirdness——

Isn't this Her Majesty the empress who is too easy to talk to, so that even the most important criminals can let people have their opinions?

But after thinking about it again, this is the empress who is more than ten thousand people, why is she self-willed, is there anyone more qualified than her?

Of course, in the end Shang Lu got up under Bai Ying's urging, and followed in a daze.

The location of the sky prison is obvious and far away. Shanglu followed Baiying and walked all the way, meeting many people on the way.

Most of them were court ladies and guards. When they saw Baiying, they all bowed down and saluted. No one questioned Shanglu's identity or their whereabouts.

Slowly, Shang Lu's original hanging heart also fell back.

All the people caught in Linhua City were directly imprisoned in the sky prison, and even the city owner of Linhua City was thrown in by Bailishuang later.

Colluding with rebels, intending to seek rebellion.

This paper of crimes was personally approved by the fifth princess.

Of course, different prisoners are separated from each other, especially Su Ye, who is separated from everyone.

The person Jing Mo wanted to interrogate was locked in another direction, but Bai Ying remembered what she had promised her earlier, so she didn't go directly to her.

Asked the guards at the gate of the prison to confirm that Jing Mo was coming, Bai Ying just told them to pay attention to Jing Mo's safety, then turned around and led Shang Lu to find Su Ye.

"Look first." Bai Ying said to Shanglu, "I'll pick you up later."

"Ah?" Shang Lu was taken aback, but after realizing it, he could only nod, "Oh."

Bai Ying nodded in satisfaction, turned around and left after saying these few words.

Shanglu: "......." Isn't this heart a little too big.

But look at the heavily guarded guards around, and the winding terrain, there are guards every short distance.

In this case, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about.

When there was only one acquaintance left in front of him, Shang Lu sighed, turned his head, glanced at Su Ye who was bound by five flowers with a complicated expression, and slowly squatted down.

"Su Ye, you..." Shang Lu called out, not knowing what to say, and finally he could only sigh again, "Why bother..."

"Are you here to laugh at me?" Su Ye's shocked expression gradually dissipated, and when he looked at Shanglu again, he was only full of sarcasm, "Hmph, sure enough, you have been working with those dog officials a long time ago, and now I am arrested You fell short, are you satisfied?"

"you--"

Being beaten up by former friends, Shang Lu was almost laughed out of anger, and suddenly swallowed back when the slightly angry words touched Su Ye's resentful expression.

I don't know if it's because of the place where she is, and Su Ye's miserable appearance now, Shang Lu suddenly felt a little pitiful for her.

Even if Su Ye betrayed their friendship and wanted to kill her, they were once close friends after all, so Shang Lu also understood her.

It's just that she was blinded by her self-righteous "friendship" and self-righteous trust before, so she couldn't see through her "friend"'s killing intent towards her.

Now it seemed that Su Ye was the one who felt that Shang Lu had betrayed her, and even hated her sincerely.

But why did Shanglu betray her?

Getting acquainted with Bai Ying, does it count if you escape from the palace?

When being innocently wronged as a murderer, did you never express your most unbelievable guess in your heart?

Because I don't want to lose this friend, so I voluntarily withdraw from her world and don't explore her secrets?

Or, should she just stand where she is and offer her life with both hands, isn't that considered "betrayal"?

Shanglu knew that Su Ye was doing many dangerous things, harming herself and even others, but she never went into it.

Just because she owed Su Ye a life and regarded her as her best friend, she ran away, did not dare to explore the truth, and even started to keep a distance.

She was afraid that once she involved Su Ye's secret, the relationship between them would be as good as ever.

But even if Shanglu is willing to abandon the principle to keep such a friend, her "friend" has never understood her concession and almost fawning begging to stay.

At this point, her "buddy" is again blaming her for the betrayal after trying to kill her.

Shanglu was dumb for a moment, perhaps because he was too tired, and he didn't even have the strength to refute.

In the end, she could only ask, "Why?"

Why kill her?

"Aren't you clear now?" Su Ye just snorted coldly, "Why bother to ask me hypocritically at this time."

What Su Ye said was not wrong. Shang Lu thought so, even if she didn't realize it at first, but after knowing Bai Ying's identity and contacting Su Ye's just a few words, she could guess what it was for.

"..." Shang Lu was silent, acquiescing to Su Ye's words, and she spoke again after a while, "The family—why did you kill them?"

"They are traitors. If it weren't for the variables on your side, we wouldn't be here now."

Su Ye did not deny the fact that he killed the family, and even took the initiative to puncture Shanglu's last illusion.

The people who died in that inn in the middle of the night were related to Su Ye's organization, and they were "traitors" who needed to be cleaned up.

It just so happened that Shanglu appeared there. Originally, Shanglu walked around the palace and left intact, which already made Su Ye suspicious.

Coupled with Shanglu's inadvertent contact with that family later, she made up her mind to kill.

Coincidentally, they happened to be in the chaotic Linhua City, where coercion and lure could make the city lord join them, and it was even easier to slander a helpless person to death.

In order to avoid accidents, Su Ye specially reserved people and horses in case of accidents.

But it was such a coincidence that the person who left with Shang Lu was Bai Ying, the empress of this country, and Jing Mo followed closely behind.

With these two people present at the same time, it would be a miracle if Su Ye's plan could succeed.

However, Su Ye had never met those two people before. Although he felt that their identities were strange, he couldn't find out, so he could only resort to tricks and try to solve them together with Shanglu to avoid future troubles.

Of course, this is whimsical.

The result is that Su Ye and her companion are in prison at this moment, while the other three people she wants to kill are still alive and secure.

No one even cared about her life except Shanglu.

"You...why..." Shang Lu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and when he looked at Su Ye, he felt a little strange.

In Shanglu's memory, Su Ye will always be the girl with a kind heart despite her miserable background, willing to give her life for the people she just met.

When did she turn into such a relentless executioner?

Because of a little suspicion, even friends for many years and innocent children are unwilling to let go.

Now the world has been settled, and the peaceful and prosperous world has finally come.

Although Shanglu often scolded those dog officials who had a vegetarian meal and secretly slandered the position of emperor, he never hoped that this country would really be overthrown, because it would inevitably be a new dynasty piled up by human lives.

Even Shanglu understands the truth, can't Su Ye understand it?

Then how much hatred does she have to take treason as her lifelong pursuit?

But Shanglu is still not Su Ye. He has never experienced everything about her, so he will never understand her feelings.

Different road non-phase plan.

Su Ye closed her mouth and said nothing more.

In the end, Shang Lu only sighed lightly and got up.

She knew that the friendship she insisted on unilaterally would eventually come to an end.

........

On the other side, as soon as Bai Ying came out of the gate of the prison, a court lady came up to welcome her, saying that she saw the fifth princess.

Bai Ying was taken aback, and immediately remembered her original intention of returning to the palace, and hurried back to the bedroom of the fifth princess.

Earlier, when Bai Ying had just returned to the palace, she only heard the maid said that the fifth princess had returned to the palace, and left in a hurry.

Bai Ying thought that she couldn't make the trip in vain, so she went to see Shanglu first.

The problem on Shanglu's side has been solved for the time being, and what Bai Ying thinks about is naturally the problem on her fifth sister's side.

On the way back, Baiying heard the palace maid explain in a soft voice, saying that the fifth princess seemed to have brought someone back, and asked someone to bring a lot of things into the palace, and a little girl was crying behind her …

Bai Ying didn't even bother to listen to the whole sentence, just listening to the first half of the sentence, she came to the conclusion that her sister was going to live with someone else.

That's not bad--

How long has it been since you lived together?Have you met your parents?Did the parents agree?Have you understood the character?Is the temperament suitable?

Bai Ying couldn't help muttering inwardly, and her pace quickened a lot, and the maid who came to report later had to trot all the way to barely keep up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" the maid called out pantingly from behind.

Baiying turned a deaf ear to the wind, she just walked forward, but she didn't expect a person to rush out of the corner in front of her, bumping into her.

Bai Ying, who has practiced martial arts all the year round, stood firmly, and the one she bumped into fell to the ground with a slap, clutching her nose and moaning for a long time without getting up, her eyes were red at the end, and she began to sob and cry.

When she raised her head again, Bai Ying saw the black air spreading from behind her fifth younger sister. She stared at the one on the ground with a smile on her face, and said softly, "You run again."

Bai Ying: "..." This is different from what was agreed.
