Chapter 195: Leaving with the crown

Hong Yao was surprised: "So, you are leaving without telling the Crown Prince? But the Crown Prince clearly has feelings for you... I thought you could achieve a positive result. Why do you want to..."

Lin Qingyue smiled bitterly, "Because I'm afraid I can't repay his feelings, that's why I want to break away. What's more, I have important things to do."

"Deputy Envoy Lin..." Hong Yao's eyes turned red, full of reluctance.

Lin Qingyue stood up, smoothed her skirt, and said: "Alright, everything that needs to be explained has been explained. I should go too, see you later!"

She waved her hand and headed outside. Not long after, that black-clothed figure merged into the night, hard to find.

Fame, wealth, and power were put down just like that, as if she didn't take anything to heart.

Only before boarding the carriage, she couldn't help but look in the direction of the Eastern Palace. If nothing unexpected happened, Dongfang Qi was currently confined in the Eastern Palace.

Flying Corpse Silkworm—it should have been extinct three thousand years ago, why did it reappear?

Before Yan Qiu'er died, Lin Qingyue actually invaded her consciousness and quickly went through her past memories.

Thereby, she learned a lot about the Guiyuan Sect.

The Guiyuan Sect's preaching mode, the way of controlling believers, and the development trajectory were exactly the same as those created by the false gods 3000 years ago.

Was it descendants imitating, or the remnants of a thousand years ago coming back to life?

Back then, Immortal Qingyue paid such a high price and almost died to reshape everything. She couldn't possibly let everything from the past happen again.

So, she must go to the Guifang Kingdom, find the headquarters of the Guiyuan Sect, and find out the background of the so-called Guiyuan Great God.

But if the other party is really related to the Immortal Cultivation World of 3000 years ago, their strength will not be underestimated.

And her current cultivation is not even one-tenth of what it was in the past, so the future is uncertain.

Dongfang Qi has deep feelings for her, if he knew she was going to take risks, he would definitely not let her leave. Or, follow her to take risks?

No matter which one it is, it is not what Lin Qingyue wants to see.

In her previous life, she let down many people, and in this life, she doesn't want to owe any more emotional debts.

Thus, she took the opportunity of discussing the Flying Corpse Silkworm case with Emperor Qi Zhaodi to reveal her thoughts and proposed to let Emperor Qi Zhaodi accompany her in a double act.

Thus, there was the later matter of her being stripped of her title as Prince because of losing decorum before the Emperor.

Only by making things stiff could her leaving with the crown be logical.

When she proposed this plan, Emperor Qi Zhaodi was full of incomprehension:

"Isn't it good for you to be a leisurely Prince in Qi? Why do you have to go to Guifang Kingdom to take risks? Guifang is far in the Western Regions, even if there is some evil sect causing trouble, it won't affect our Qi Guo."

"And the Crown Prince, he has sincere feelings for you, and even didn't hesitate to smear himself for you. Hmph, he thought he did it very thoroughly, but I know it all!"

"And that time, he publicly rejected the marriage alliance with Feng Kingdom, also because he was thinking of you—but it's fortunate that he rejected it. We really can't afford that Princess Ling Xue in our Qi Guo!"

"When he rejected the marriage, you helped him. Afterwards, he was worried that I would blame you for this, so he specifically explained to me for a long time."

"Actually, at that time, I had already softened my heart and was willing to fulfill you."

"But you, you don't want my good son, and you are leaving with the crown? Tell me, why can't my son enter your noble eyes?"

Lin Qingyue didn't expect that Emperor Qi Zhaodi would say so many heartfelt words to her. And even tacitly allowed Dongfang Qi to marry her?

She originally thought that a woman like her who was not under control couldn't enter the eyes of the Emperor. When she proposed to leave, Emperor Qi Zhaodi should have set off firecrackers to celebrate!

It turned out that she had underestimated Emperor Qi Zhaodi's breadth of mind.

It is truly lucky for Dongfang Qi to have such a father.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's affection is only due to my rescue when he was in trouble. If it wasn't me who saved the Crown Prince at that time, but another woman, he would have fallen in love with the other party just the same."

"And I..." she smiled bitterly, "Love in the world is like yesterday's sunset to me, and cannot be chased. I will never fall in love with anyone in this life, so I don't want to ruin his life."

"As for going to Guifang Kingdom... this is my obsession, and it must be ended by my own hands. Perhaps, people like me are destined not to enjoy peace."

In the end, under Lin Qingyue's insistence, Emperor Qi Zhaodi nodded and agreed.

After finishing the double act with Lin Qingyue, Emperor Qi Zhaodi took the opportunity to confine Dongfang Qi.

"Goodbye, Dongfang Qi." She whispered to the dark night, in the direction of the Eastern Palace.

Afterwards, she jumped into the carriage and slapped a guiding talisman on the horse's butt, and the horse automatically went outside the city without a driver.

The night breeze was cool, entering through the window.

Lin Qingyue couldn't help but think of the first time she saw Dongfang Qi.

Clearly already a lonely soul, attached to a cat's body, yet still wanting to meddle in other people's business, saving a woman bullied by hooligans, and as a result, almost losing her soul.

Perhaps because she saw the ultimate kindness in him, Lin Qingyue was willing to help him find his lost soul.

Later, they went out of the city together to the Chiying Land.

On the small road outside the city, she saw him in human form for the first time: a white-clothed man standing by the carriage with his hands behind his back, like an immortal descending to the world, waiting for her to walk in silently, as if he had been waiting for a long, long time.

On the way to the Chiying Land, Lin Qingyue, Dongfang Qi, and Xie Shouzheng laughed and scolded all the way, and whenever they saw injustice, they couldn't help but take action.

But now, on the same road out of the city, only she was alone.

Emperor Qi Zhaodi said he would let Dongfang Qi be confined for half a month.

So, after half a month when he comes out of the Eastern Palace, Lin Qingyue should have already left the borders of Qi Guo, right?

I don't know if he will have married and had children when we meet again?

Or, will we never meet again?

Lin Qingyue laughed at herself: Why do I always think of him? We are people from two worlds, we just happened to meet, and we are destined to separate. Why leave so many entanglements?

She pointed with her fingertips, and the horse outside the carriage neighed and accelerated. ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
