Long Xiaoyuan's prediction was correct, within a month, the battle over there will become more clear.
Moreover, the northern barbarians have sent people to submit the peace petition!
Late at night, in his dormitory, Long Xiaoyuan looked at the memorial in his hand... pursing the corners of his mouth.
In the past twenty days, Shi Qingzhou still hasn't sent a single word, nor has he written a letter.
After returning from the sent shadow guards, Long Xiaoyuan didn't write again.
Now, the barbarians in the north have submitted a peace petition. As the queen of a country, Shi Qingzhou is still at the border. He is the right person to bring the envoy back.
Shi Qingzhou... is coming back...
Shi Qingzhou was indeed coming back. He didn't bring back a large army, but only 3,000 soldiers and the envoys of the northern barbarians.
Shi Qingshan is still at the border, that is to say, if the peace talks are not successful, to be precise, Long Xiao is far from satisfied and does not accept the conditions proposed by the northern barbarians, then the war will continue!
Now that their Celestial Dynasty occupies the absolute upper hand, the northern barbarians will naturally have to pay an absolute price if they want to negotiate peace!
However, it all depends on what Long Xiaoyuan thinks!
That night, Shi Qingshan called Shi Qingzhou to his camp.
Shi Qingshan took a fixed look at his son, and sighed slowly in his heart.
These days, he has noticed his son's silence, so he naturally knows that the other party is really in a bad mood.
And the reason, he guessed, had something to do with Emperor Long Xiaoyuan.
It's just that he doesn't know how to tell his son about his feelings.
So, in the end, Shi Qingshan called people over, just to tell him something about going back.
Shi Qingzhou listened quietly, and when these business matters were finished, Shi Qingshan thought about it, and then said, "Qingzhou, get along well with the emperor after you go back."
As a human father, he couldn't say anything else.
Shi Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly. "Father, I see."
Why doesn't Shi Qingshan feel sorry for his son, but...
In the end, Shi Qingshan just patted his son on the shoulder. "Let's go early tomorrow morning, be careful all the way."
Shi Qingzhou nodded. "Father rest assured. Son knows."
After Shi Qingzhou left, he returned to his tent, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes after a long time.
As for what he was thinking... No one knew except himself.
The next day, Shi Qingzhou's team set off from the border.
Five days later, Long Xiaoyuan received the news that Shi Qingzhou's team had arrived fifty miles away from the imperial city.
It can be seen that from the border to here, Shi Qingzhou's team still walked very fast.
Because of simplicity, the more than 3,000 horses led by Shi Qingzhou can go so fast.
Is it almost there? Long Xiaoyuan found himself feeling a little uneasy.
At this time, the eunuch outside the door came to report that Mr. Xu asked to see him.
Long Xiaoyuan immediately let people in.
Long Xiaoyuan let Xu You in, and Xu You looked a little gloomy when he entered.
Long Xiaoyuan immediately raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter? Could it be that someone bullied you?"
Xu You pursed his lips. "Brother, don't you know?"
"Huh? Know what?" Long Xiaoyuan was really taken aback.
Xu You took a deep breath, "I heard some gossip... saying that I am your boyfriend! I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that a small number of people misunderstood it, well, I found out now... almost everyone is Think so!"
Long Xiaoyuan was stunned when he heard the words, "What? Really?"
Xu You nodded bitterly, "That's right! I don't even know how this remark came about! Well, there are actually more serious things, do you know? Damn it, the rumors actually say that you have favored me, rely on , I, the client, don't know anything about it!"
"Eh..." The corners of Long Xiaoyuan's mouth twitched slightly, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
After thinking about it, Long Xiaoyuan called out the shadow guard. Of course, what he called... was actually Yingqiu.
Why is it called Yingqiu? That's because he knows that the other party is Shi Qingzhou's man!
The most important thing is that although Long Xiaoyuan didn't think much about it, he felt...Since Yingqiu is Shi Qingzhou's person in the book and has already surrendered to Shi Qingzhou, then the other party should compare the situation here with Shi Qingzhou's. Qingzhou said it
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan couldn't stop thinking of the message that Xu You said...
Then, Long Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat.
He felt like he had forgotten something...
For example, there has been no message from his light boat. Maybe it's because he was having a fight with himself. Is it possible... that he also received some messages that he doesn't know about!
That's right, if Xu You hadn't come here in a huff today, I wouldn't have known there was such a message on him, okay
Long Xiaoyuan became slightly uneasy.
Under such apprehension, Yingqiu was called over.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't talk nonsense, he pointed at Xu You and asked Yingqiu if he knew about the rumors in the palace.
gossip? Listening to this term... Yingqiu, the always expressionless shadow guard, was stunned.
It is clearly a fact, how could it be a rumor
Moreover, Mr. Xu is so angry and insulted... Yingqiu feels that something is not right.
Long Xiaoyuan didn't understand Yingqiu's appearance!
Immediately, Long Xiaoyuan wailed in his heart, but his face was livid.
"So, you all know it, so why doesn't the emperor know about it?"
Long Xiaoyuan's deep voice was obviously angry, Yingqiu immediately knelt down to apologize.
Long Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, he really wanted to punish him.
But, damn it, what reason does he have
It's a fact that he and Xu You slept through the night after being damned drunk!
Although the damned fact is that a bed is divided into two sides for pure sleeping, but, you know, but others don't know!
Long Xiaoyuan could hardly help moaning.
What's the matter! Damn it!
Then, Long Xiaoyuan thought that Shi Qingzhou would be home soon... But, on his side...
Long Xiaoyuan looked at Ying Qiu fixedly, the kind that almost made people look stupid.
Yingqiu was indeed shocked.
Long Xiaoyuan looked at the other party indifferently, and then said a word.
"This rumor in the palace... does the queen know?"
Ying Qiu fell silent.
Looking at the other party's situation from a distance, Long Xiao didn't understand anything.
He pursed the corners of his lips.
Long Xiaoyuan said indifferently: "Go down and receive the punishment."
It's not death, but punishment... Yingqiu was a little surprised, but heaved a sigh of relief, and went down to receive punishment...
Long Xiaoyuan sighed at Xu You after he got down.
"Xu You, your elder brother is finished too."
"Eh..." Now the anger on Xu You's face was gone, instead it was a little awkward and weird.
"That... big brother... queen, did you misunderstand?"
"Well, obviously." Long Xiaoyuan was weak.
Xu You blinked, and said again: "Brother, was that shadow guard reporting to the queen just now?"
"You don't need to be called a queen. He is a man, so he probably doesn't like the title queen either."
"Oh, then I won't call him Queen, but Brother Shi?"
"Well, just call it that way." Long Xiaoyuan sighed, "What do you think... what should I do?"
Xu You shook his head. "Brother Shi must have misunderstood now...Brother, you said that you promised that Brother Shi would be a couple forever. Now, Brother Shi must be very disappointed."
"Yeah, he must be very disappointed... and very angry!" Long Xiaoyuan said with certainty. "He hasn't sent me any information since he left for the expedition."
"What about you?" Xu You asked quickly. "Did you bring it to him?"
Long Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and shook his head. "No."
"Oh..." Xu You sighed. "Brother, this is your fault... You should let Brother Danshi."
"Alas..." Long Xiaoyuan sighed again. "You don't know, your brother Shi's temper is actually very stubborn, I...
Alas, this time I actually just wanted to test the position of big brother in his heart. Who knew there was such a thing... I guess, I really hurt him this time, oh... "
Xu You thought for a while and said, "Brother, where is Brother Shi's team now?"
"Fifty miles away from the imperial city, we will arrive one day later."
Xu You's eyes brightened slightly. "If that's the case... Brother, you can consider going out to pick him up!"
Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, then stood up abruptly. "Yeah... I didn't expect that he must have misunderstood now... If I waited for him at home, it would be too dishonest! You are right! I should go pick him up!"
Xu You smiled. "Well, it should be like this."
Long Xiaoyuan did as soon as he thought of it, and as expected, he decided to leave immediately.
However, although he decided to leave immediately, he is the emperor, so he still needs to arrange things that should be arranged.
This time, Long Xiaoyuan found Sun Youjing.
Sun Youjing's official position was raised once in the past two months, and now he is a second-rank senior official.
Although it is said that it is still a bit lacking in the position of a first-rank official like the left and right.
However, when the emperor is away, there is no problem with the emperor's authorization to deal with some things.
So, Long Xiaoyuan found him.
Anyway, there was only more than a day, and Long Xiaoyuan didn't ask the other party's opinion, but just explained it directly. Then he left him in the palace and left directly...
Sun Youjing: "..." Should he move the emperor's trust or should he be speechless...
Xu You left a long time ago and went to his own palace... to sleep!
Although in fact he really wanted to follow his elder brother to visit his sister-in-law...
However, he is even more afraid of being affected by the fish pond!
Who in the entire dynasty doesn't know about the queen's brave victory at the border!
The reputation of the current empress is close to that of Empress Taizu Wenyuan at that time, okay
Therefore, Xu You was still a little apprehensive about such a powerful "sister-in-law".
So, Xu You went straight to sleep.
As for Long Xiaoyuan, he took a few shadow guards and left the palace secretly...
Of course, he wanted to explain to his queen earlier...
Fifty miles away, it is still easy to catch up with fast horses and whips. However, although Long Xiaoyuan has the memory of riding and shooting, it is still not so honorable to transform the memory into his true ability. The most important thing is that as a modern person , It is really not so adaptable to horses.
Therefore, Long Xiaoyuan was still riding in a carriage.
However, using two good BMWs to pull the cart, the speed is only a little slower than riding a horse.
In the middle of the night, Long Xiaoyuan finally finished the journey of less than forty miles.
Why did it turn out to be less than forty miles when it was fifty miles
That's because he was rushing here, and Shi Qingzhou was also heading towards the palace!
In this way, the distance between the two sides is less than forty miles!
The shadow guard brought Long Xiaoyuan to a stop a little far away from the team.
After all, Long Xiaoyuan's current identity is still very special, and he can't just pass by like this!
Therefore, the shadow guard can only sneak in with the opponent.
Sneaking into a team of 3,000 people, even if the shadow guards are strong, is not easy.
However, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want them to know!
Moreover, Long Xiaoyuan didn't want to expose himself, the best way was to let Shi Qingzhou out!
Therefore, Shi Qingzhou asked his shadow guards to go there directly!
Shi Qingzhou had already fallen asleep at this time, but the shadow guard in the palace brought a secret order.
Shi Qingzhou listened to the secret decree brought by the shadow guard in the camp with a slightly sullen face.
Unexpectedly, the shadow guard let him go out with him!
Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, if he hadn't been sure that the Shadow Guard was real and not someone pretending to be him, he would have had someone take him down long ago.
And because the shadow guard is from Long Xiaoyuan, and only this shadow guard came, Shi Qingzhou just hesitated for a few seconds and then followed him secretly.
However, before leaving, Shi Qingzhou found his adjutant to explain something.
Following the shadow guard, Shi Qingzhou and the other party came to the place where Long Xiaoyuan's carriage stopped.
"Queen, please get in the car."
boarding? Shi Qingzhou frowned secretly.
However, Shi Qingzhou still opened the door curtain of the carriage, and the door curtain was opened. Shi Qingzhou was stunned for a moment.
It turned out to be... Long Xiaoyuan
And at this time, Long Xiaoyuan had already pulled him up...
Because Shi Qingzhou was in a daze, Long Xiaoyuan was really pulled up with such force.
Then, Long Xiaoyuan hugged the man directly.
"Qingzhou, I miss you to death..."
Shi Qingzhou finally came to his senses, clenched his fists, apparently suppressing something, and his whole body stiffened. Long Xiaoyuan was hugging the other party, how could he not feel the other party's stiffness
Immediately, Long Xiaoyuan said: "Qingzhou? Are you angry with me?"
Shi Qingzhou slowly but firmly pushed away the opponent's chest.
Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't stop becoming anxious. "Qingzhou, have you received Yingqiu's letter?"
Shi Qingzhou froze and wanted to deny it, but Long Xiaoyuan had already spoken, so would it be useful if he denied it
In the end, Shi Qingzhou didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either, he just looked at Long Xiaoyuan fixedly.
Long Xiaoyuan said softly: "Qingzhou, don't worry, I don't mean to blame you... I just want to say that Yingqiu's information is not true!"
Shi Qingzhou's eyes turned cold, he thought Long Xiaoyuan was just trying to defend himself.
Long Xiaoyuan smiled wryly. "Qingzhou, don't look at me like that, he really misunderstood!"
Shi Qingzhou frowned.
Long Xiaoyuan sighed, "I admit, I didn't take the initiative to contact you these days... I was a little angry, but please believe me, I didn't do anything sorry, I just felt a little awkward, I didn't know what to do at first I contacted you... I didn't contact you after that... "
Long Xiaoyuan who said this was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were sincere.
Shi Qingzhou froze, Long Xiaoyuan touched his nose. "Also, you didn't contact me...it's not all my fault, is it?"
Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips and did not speak.
Long Xiaoyuan went to hold the opponent's hand. Shi Qingzhou still froze for a while, but he might have thought of something, but he didn't avoid Long Xiaoyuan's hand in the end.
Long Xiaoyuan thought that the other party was not angry anymore and forgave himself, but he didn't notice the dark light in Shi Qingzhou's eyes.
No matter how many novels Long Xiaoyuan has read, he has never really been in love after all, so, on the lover's mind... he really doesn't know much!
Shi Qingzhou lowered his eyelids slowly, while Long Xiaoyuan took the other's hand and said: "Qingzhou, that was really a misunderstanding, Xu You, oh, that's the one I brought into the palace, he's just a little brother, I thought Just be a younger brother, that's all."
"Brother?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan.
Long Xiaoyuan nodded sharply. "That's right, it's just my brother."
Shi Qingzhou didn't respond, Long Xiaoyuan explained how he got to know Xu You, how he was chased and killed by people from Tianyin Castle, and then he brought Xu You back to the palace... everything.
Shi Qingzhou listened quietly, and then slowly said: "So... why did you arrange people in Yushang Hall?"
"Because it's close to Kunning Palace, you can take care of it when you come back, and it's far away from the concubines in the harem. After all, he's a boy, so it's inconvenient to be with the women in the harem, right?"
Is this the consideration? Shi Qingzhou was slightly taken aback.
Long Xiaoyuan took the other party's hand and said, "Qingzhou, I'm here to pick you up..."
Shi Qingzhou smiled lightly. "The emperor was joking, how can you say that? My team is here, how can I go back at this time..."
"This..." Long Xiaoyuan smiled embarrassedly. "Yeah, I forgot about that."
Shi Qingzhou smiled faintly again. "Your Majesty, it's not safe outside here late at night. Your Majesty should go back earlier."
"How can that be done!" Long Xiaoyuan said immediately. "I've already come out, and I will definitely go back with you, Qingzhou, let's go to your tent."
Shi Qingzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and then he refused.
"Your Majesty, there are many people in the team. If you come with me, you will be found out. That's not good."
Long Xiaoyuan frowned. "I'll make a mask."
Shi Qingzhou frowned tightly seeing the other party's insistence, and then thought of the misunderstanding what the other party said just now. In the end, Shi Qingzhou didn't say anything more, and he tacitly agreed to Long Xiaoyuan's stay.
Only then did Long Xiaoyuan let out a long sigh of relief...
Thinking, at least he stayed, he didn't see that Shi Qingzhou didn't mind.
However, I have a clear conscience, and... To reconcile, there is always time to get along!
Therefore, staying is only the first step, as long as you stay, there is always a chance! They still have a day to spend together.
And, living with each other, isn't that more explainable
Long Xiaoyuan is already satisfied with this result... For the rest, take your time!
