Chapter 51: Seeing Qin Mu's true face

The square in front of the Potala Palace.

With carved railings and painted beams, it was as ethereal as a fairyland.

Li Li Xueyan, in a red dress, stood alone amidst the clouds, Wu Li Ke a fairy.

"Sigh!"

With a long sigh, Li Li Xueyan looked at this massive palace, feeling a sense of loss.

These past few days, she had thought a lot.

She did not know what she should do.

End it all with death?

Empress Empress Zhangsun's heart was in turmoil!

But what about the heavy responsibility entrusted to her by the Great Tang?

Although Qin Mu was the number one rebel of the Great Tang and had now become the ruler of Tubo, 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, unable to believe her eyes.

"Empress!?"

"Princess Changle!?"

"Why are you here?"

"Am I dreaming?"

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

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

It was simply incredible!

"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 meritorious official and had frequently visited the imperial palace since childhood.

Empress Empress Zhangsun treated Li Li Xueyan Wu Li Ke 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, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

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

"Sigh!"

"The situation is Wu Li Ke this..."

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

"You were actually kidnapped by Qin Mu? And right in the middle of the marriage procession?"

"The Great Tang has already gone to war with Tubo?"

"This..."

Li Li Xueyan trembled with rage, her teeth clenched tightly.

Deceiving the world!

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

It has been so long.

And 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 from her waist, intending to head to the main hall to seek revenge on Qin Mu, who was currently 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, Tubo and the Great Tang are already at odds, only we can stop this war! If you go and cause any trouble, our Great Tang and Tubo will truly be locked in a fight to the death. When that time comes, the nation will fall apart, and the people of the world will suffer." Empress Empress Zhangsun's gentle yet dignified words exploded in Li Li Xueyan's mind.

The Tang and the Tubo would truly be locked in an irreconcilable struggle. When that time comes, the nation will crumble and fall apart, and the common people under heaven will suffer. These words, spoken by Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou with a gentleness that did not lack majesty, 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 the Great Tang, she would never return to Chang'an!

For the sake of the people of the world, and 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."

"The country is on the brink of ruin, is this what you want to see?"

"How is it? Meeting in this 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 so angry she couldn't help but want to go up and beat him.

But she couldn't beat him, nor could she outsmart him.

Thinking of this, she felt even more annoyed.

"You?"

Looking at Qin Mu's face, Empress Empress Zhangsun suddenly didn't know what happened, her eyes instantly turning red.

"Empress Mother, he looks so much Wu Li Ke Father Emperor!"

Tears could not stop falling.

Princess Changle was also stunned.

850296501

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

Qin Mu: "???"

Are they sick?

What is going on?

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 gentle 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, not even his wanted poster.

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

Let alone them.

Even Li Er had never seen what Qin Mu looked Wu Li Ke.

He was a very busy man with a thousand things to do every day.

With so many major issues in the imperial court to handle, how could he find time to see what a small petty thief looked Wu Li Ke?

"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 two more times, she would break down and cry.
