Chapter 115

But what about the heavy responsibility Great Tang had placed upon her?

Although Qin Mu was the number one rebel of Great Tang and had now become the ruler of Tibet, she had also become his consort.

Perhaps...

Perhaps His Majesty had already reconciled with Qin Mu?

"Empress Mother, come quickly, it's so beautiful here!"

Just as Li Li Xueyan was feeling lost, a familiar voice came from not far away.

Subsequently.

Two graceful figures appeared before her.

Upon seeing the two women before her, Li Li Xueyan opened her mouth in shock, simply unable to believe her eyes.

"Empress!?"

"Princess Changle!?"

"How are you here?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Li Li Xueyan could not distinguish whether she was in a dream or reality.

In a palace in such a foreign land, to suddenly see the Empress and Princess from the imperial palace in Chang'an

It was simply unbelievable!

"Sister Li Xueyan!? Why is it you?"

The shock of the mother and daughter, Princess Changle and the Empress, was no less than Li Li Xueyan's.

"Li Xueyan, the princess sent for marriage is actually you?"

Empress Empress Zhangsun also widened her eyes, astonished to the extreme.

Li Li Xueyan was only a princess in name; in reality, she was the daughter of an imperial noble, and she had frequently visited the imperial palace since she was a child.

Empress Empress Zhangsun treated Li Li Xueyan like her own daughter, and Princess Changle also regarded her as her own sister.

"Empress, what is going on here?"

Li Li Xueyan could no longer remain calm, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.

She felt that the things that had happened these days had almost exceeded her capacity to bear.

"Sigh!"

"The situation is like this..."

Empress Empress Zhangsun sighed and recounted the events exactly as they happened.

"You were actually abducted by Qin Mu? And right within the marriage procession?"

"Great Tang has already gone to war with Tibet?"

"This..."

Li Li Xueyan was trembling with rage, her teeth clenched tightly.

Deceiving the world!

Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu, you truly have great ability!

It has been so long.

I only just learned the whole truth!

Li Li Xueyan felt cold all over, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She drew the dagger at her waist, intending to head to the main hall to seek revenge on Qin Mu, who was holding court!

"Li Xueyan, stop!"

"Empress, don't worry, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will definitely save you and Princess Changle!"

"No! You cannot go! Li Xueyan, Tibet and Great Tang are already at odds like fire and water; only we can stop this war! If you go and cause any trouble, our Great Tang and Tibet will truly be locked in an irreconcilable struggle. When that time comes, the nation will crumble, and the people will suffer." Empress Empress Zhangsun's gentle yet dignified words exploded in Li Li Xueyan's mind.

After arriving at the Potala Palace, she had already made up her mind.

If she could not resolve the misunderstanding between Qin Mu and Great Tang, she would never return to Chang'an!

For the sake of the people of the world, or for the sake of this child, Qin Mu.

No matter what, she had to find out the whole truth!

"Empress..."

Li Li Xueyan looked at Empress Empress Zhangsun, tears shimmering in her eyes.

It seemed she had endless grievances she wanted to pour out to Empress Empress Zhangsun.

"It seems you have already met."

"A country on the brink of ruin—is this what you want to see?"

"How is it? Meeting in such a situation, isn't it quite interesting?"

Qin Mu's voice suddenly appeared in their ears.

"You!"

"You bastard!"

Upon seeing Qin Mu, Li Li Xueyan was furious, wishing she could go up and beat him.

But she could not beat him, nor could she outsmart him.

Thinking of this, she felt even more frustrated.

"You?"

Looking at Qin Mu's face, Empress Empress Zhangsun suddenly did not know what was wrong, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Empress Mother, he looks just like Father Emperor!"

Tears could not stop falling.

Princess Changle was also stunned.

She seemed to see Li Er from over a decade ago.

Qin Mu: "???"

Are they sick?

What is going on with all of this?

It's just a meeting, is there a need to be this aggrieved?

"Your Majesty, is this your true face?"

Empress Empress Zhangsun tried her best to calm her emotions, looking at Qin Mu with soft eyes.

Why?

Why is it that as soon as I see this child's face, there is an indescribable sadness in my heart?

Neither Empress Empress Zhangsun nor Princess Changle had ever seen Qin Mu's true face, nor had they even seen his wanted poster.

After all, the mother and daughter lived deep in the palace, and the disputes outside had nothing to do with them.

Let alone them.

Even Li Er had never seen what Qin Mu looked like.

He was a very busy man, managing ten thousand things a day.

With so many major matters in the court to handle, how could he find the time to see what a petty thief looked like?

"Of course!"

Qin Mu was somewhat speechless, not knowing how to answer.

If it's not my true face, could it be yours?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am feeling a bit unwell, may I be allowed to return first?"

Empress Empress Zhangsun could no longer hold back.

She was afraid that if she looked at Qin Mu for two more seconds, she would break down and cry. ===== CHAPTER 117 =====

She was afraid that if she looked at Qin Mu for even a moment longer, she would break down and cry.
