Lord Iceberg, please and leave!

Chapter 270 Encounter

Xia Zhi couldn't help being taken aback.

"how come?"

He stared at the queen with wide eyes, "Chu Li..."

Seeing that she really didn't know, the queen said: "Beiming Kingdom's [-] troops are pressing down on the border. The two countries are about to go to war, but the Beiming Kingdom's army remains motionless."

"What do you say they are waiting for?"

Xia Zhi thought about it, but couldn't think of anything.

I remember that when she read the novel, she didn't mention the war!
Could it be that: the dream she had that night that she read all the books was a lie?
Not right either!
If they are all fake, why are Bai Suqiao and Bai Zhiqiao real?
And Shen Qingru!
The queen mother, emperor, and empress are all real.

But why are many things different from the plot in the previous novel?

Seeing that Xia Zhi couldn't answer, the queen pushed her: "Tell me about you, why are you so unclear! The reason why the army of Beiming Kingdom has been standing still is because they are waiting for news!"

"Wait for the news of Chu Li's death."

what? !

After ten days, when someone mentioned Chu Li's name again, I felt chest tightness getting worse.

"You mean that Chu Jue sent him out on purpose?!"

"Is it true that you want to borrow a knife to kill someone?!"

How many years older than Xia Zhi is the queen? Seeing that she still looked ignorant, she couldn't help but patted the back of her hand: "Silly Xia Zhi, which emperor's bed do you think can accommodate others to snore?"

"Prince Li has made great achievements, has repeatedly made military exploits, and has no more official positions to confer. The civil and military courts only know Prince Li but not the current sage. Can the emperor be happy?"

"This..." Xia Zhi was so anxious that her face turned pale.

"No! Where did he go? I'm going to find him!"

As soon as he thought that Chu Li would be in danger, Xia Zhi couldn't help but want to rush over to stand in front of him and resolve those dangers for him.

She can deceive Chu Li, but she cannot deceive her own heart.

I've been fascinated by him for a long time, but...

Fearing that she wouldn't be able to give him a future, she kept struggling.

The queen took her hand: "It's useless for you to be anxious now. Lord Li has been away for more than ten days. If he died, there would have been news already."

"For you now, the most important thing to do is to wait!"

"Sometimes no news is good news."

Xia Zhi didn't expect that the queen knew so much about court affairs, so she couldn't help but take another look at her: "You are so amazing, you know so many court affairs."

The queen smiled: "Where does Bengong know so much? It's just that Bengong's father often visits the palace and occasionally says a few words."

Since Xia Zhi comforted the queen at the Longevity Palace last time, she seemed to be a different person, and her whole body exuded brilliance.

"As you said, if I just call him sick, I won't get any favor from the emperor. It will only make the people in the harem despise me even more. It's better to tear my face apart and beat and scold me when I deserve it."

It is gratifying for the queen to change like this, but Xia Zhi has no intention of talking with her, and just wants to go back to Prince Li's mansion as soon as possible to wait for news from Chu Li.

Facing the queen's eloquent talk, Xia Zhi was perfunctory, with a listless look.

Even when the queen mentioned that Bai Zhiqiao could make creams, she couldn't even get the slightest bit of interest.

He even politely declined the queen's kindness to keep her for dinner, and hurriedly bid farewell.

Seeing her like this, the queen had no choice but to let her go back earlier, and sent You Lan to escort her out of the palace.

Xia Zhi thanked her, and followed You Lan out.

As soon as Bu came out of the gate of Duanyang Hall, he saw a group of people carrying the dragon chariot coming over. The bright yellow spot in the middle was not Chu Jue!
