This is your world

Jokhang Palace.

Li Beifeng's figure appeared outside the palace gate.

There seemed to be more Forbidden Army guards outside the door than before, giving off a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

Seeing this scene, Li Beifeng understood. Something must have happened in Dazhao's court. Otherwise, there would be no sudden increase in the number of imperial troops outside the palace.

After lingering outside the palace gate for a moment, Li Beifeng stepped into the palace.

Although Li Beifeng now no longer has the token of Qin Tiansi's guardian, there are people in the imperial army outside the palace who recognize Li Beifeng.

No way, the memory is too deep.

This Qintiansi is the most mysterious and powerful organization in Jozhao. Anyone who can join the Qintiansi must be exceptional, not to mention that the four great protectors of the Qintiansi are all people with outstanding achievements and extremely high status.

And this fifth protector of Qin Tiansi naturally attracted the attention of many people. To be able to become the protector of Qin Tiansi at such a young age is either a genius or a close relationship with the eldest princess.

Therefore, no matter what the reason is, Li Beifeng will become the focus of attention.

Naturally, the Imperial Guards outside the palace still remembered Li Beifeng. Without much obstruction, he entered the palace smoothly.

I have been here once, so Li Beifeng is not too unfamiliar.

The ancient imperial city buildings stood tall and majestic, and the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating atmosphere. This is the palace of the Jokhang Dynasty, the legendary palace.

Li Beifeng glanced at the surrounding buildings, with a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes from time to time.

Later generations have seen many splendid and stunning buildings, but they still can't help but be shocked and surprised by the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients in this era.

The royal palace of the Jokhang Dynasty should be regarded as the pinnacle of architecture in the world today.

But I heard that the Northern Qi Imperial Palace more than ten years ago was not bad either. However, after that battle, the entire Sunset City was destroyed, and the Imperial Palace of Northern Qi also disappeared into smoke and disappeared in the long river of history.

Pity.

Li Beifeng's eyes seemed to be shining with a strange color.

The Jokhang Dynasty has existed for more than two hundred years. According to the laws of historical dynasty changes, the Jokhang Dynasty has actually reached the end of its peak and is on the way downhill.

In fact, Dazhao is indeed experiencing internal and external troubles now.

There was Emperor Jozhao who ignored the government affairs, the court was in chaos, the prince and the eldest princess were fighting openly and secretly, Beizhou was even more chaotic, the people were in dire straits, and rebellions broke out frequently.

This is a sign of the troubled times of the last years.

The Jokhang Dynasty is facing its biggest crisis in a century.

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. In the very center, a towering building rises from the ground.

That is the core area of ​​the Jokhang Palace. Within the Forbidden Palace is the residence of the Jokhang Emperor.

"Pity……"

Li Beifeng shook his head slightly and sighed.

If the Taoist nun had entered this place and killed the dog emperor, would the situation be different now?

Li Beifeng had no answer.

His eyes gradually became firm and cold.

Da Zhao and him are now old enemies. There must be an understanding between him and this Da Zhao.

But he doesn’t know whether he will be able to step back here again, or whether...

Li Beifeng died in a different place in Beizhou?

…

In the Jokhang Palace, numerous secret sentries and sentry guards patrolled openly and secretly.

The entire palace is huge and has a complicated layout. Patrolling imperial troops can be seen everywhere in the palace.

Once there is any disturbance, it will immediately attract the vigilance of others.

It is conceivable that if you want to do something in this palace, it will be difficult. If you want to assassinate the Jokhang Emperor, it will be even more difficult to reach the sky.

Li Beifeng's figure walked in the palace, and at the same time secretly noted the layout and distribution of the palace.

After a while, Li Beifeng stopped.

He looked up and looked not far away.

There is a side palace not far away, covered by a gate.

There are two big trees in front of the door, blocking out the sky and the sun, making it look slightly dilapidated and desolate.

here……

Li Beifeng's eyes were a little complicated.

I had previously learned from several maids in the palace that this was the residence of the eldest princess.

She lives here?

Don’t know if anyone is there?

Li Beifeng was silent for a while, then gently shook his head.

well!

It’s been a while since we last saw each other in Beizhou.

After saying goodbye to Sunset Town in Beizhou, he broke up with Zhao Ying... It should be considered a breakup, right?

Perhaps in Zhao Ying's eyes, this should be the case.

After that, there was no contact between the two, and Zhao Ying seemed to disappear.

After standing at the door for a long time, Li Beifeng turned around and planned to leave.

He didn't know why he came here, but he didn't want to go in.

Now that his identity has been confirmed, there may be no possibility between him and Zhao Ying.

One is the eldest princess of Dazhao, and the other is the prince of the subjugated Northern Qi Dynasty.

The two of them were sworn enemies. The hatred between their families and their country meant that they could not reconcile.

Rather than this, it would be better to disappear.

Li Beifeng felt a little heavy in his heart, but he was still determined.

Turn around and leave.

However, just as Li Beifeng turned around, a figure appeared not far away.

White clothes.

Like snow.

Cold and independent.

She stood not far from Li Beifeng, stopped and stared at him.

Under the veil, a pair of cold beautiful eyes fell on him without any emotion.

Li Beifeng was startled.

I didn't expect to meet him unexpectedly.

For a moment, he even didn't know how to speak.

He opened his mouth to say something, but when he noticed her cold eyes, he suddenly felt that nothing he said mattered.

There are some things that both of them know very well.

All this time, the two of them have been pretending to be confused.

Li Beifeng was using her, and she was also using Li Beifeng. From the beginning of their relationship, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and even... fell in love over time.

Is there any love?

Li Beifeng thought about it carefully.

Maybe it should be more or less.

At least Li Beifeng could sense something when getting along with the eldest princess in Chaoyang County. This eldest princess treated him very differently.

However, things didn't go as planned.

When the two left the county and finally met in Beizhou.

Finally, the problem that neither of them wanted to face came to light.

The relationship that was carefully maintained between the two finally fell apart.

This is the current situation.

The two just stared at each other, neither of them spoke first.

Zhao Ying's eyes were cold, so cold that it was impossible to see any emotion and to detect her true inner thoughts.

Finally, after staring at each other in silence for a long time, Zhao Ying withdrew her gaze, stepped forward, and came over slowly.

When she passed by Li Beifeng, she didn't react at all. From beginning to end, it seems that Li Beifeng is regarded as a transparent person.

Ignore it!

"Wait a moment!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

He stopped her.

Zhao Ying paused slightly, glanced sideways, and said in a cold tone: "Is something wrong?"

"Um."

Li Beifeng turned around, looked at her calmly, and said softly: "Shall we have a chat?"

"We have nothing to talk about!"

Zhao Ying spoke coldly.

She glanced at Li Beifeng, and there seemed to be a sneer in her eyes: "How dare you come here?"

Li Beifeng calmly asked, "Why don't I dare?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?!" Zhao Ying's tone seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

"You will not."

However, Li Beifeng was very calm.

"snort!"

A slight snort.

The next second, Li Beifeng felt a strong wind coming from his chest.

He stepped back quickly, using his inner strength to block the sharp wind.

The figure took a few steps back, slightly embarrassed.

"Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Zhao Ying glanced at him coldly: "Next time I see you again, I will definitely kill you!"

After saying that, she turned around and went back home without taking any notes.

Li Beifeng watched her leaving and sighed secretly.

The relationship between the two finally reached this point.

Perhaps, this is the final fate of the two of them?

After staying there for a long time, Li Beifeng finally shook his head and turned to leave.

In the mansion.

"Princess."

Seeing the princess coming back, the palace maids rushed to greet her.

"Princess, come in quickly..."

The two maids originally planned to step forward to serve the princess, but found that the princess was standing there, silent.

The originally cold face became even colder. It seemed like ice that had been dull for thousands of years, giving people a biting chill.

Princess, what's wrong?

Zhao Ying stood there and slowly turned back, staring at the gate not far in front of her.

The door was closed, blocking her view.

She stared at the door like this for a long time, remaining silent.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally seemed to have come back to her senses. Looking back, I realized that the faces of the two palace maids beside me were full of worry.

"Princess, you, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!"

Zhao Ying shook her head slightly, turned around and stepped into the inner courtyard.

She returned to the room, put down the sword in her hand, and changed her clothes. When he came out, he came to the side yard.

There was silence in the side courtyard.

Zhao Ying came to the door of a room and opened the door.

The dusty door seemed like no one had been there for a long time, and a thick layer of dust accumulated on the door.

There was a musty smell in the air.

Zhao Ying walked into the room without paying any attention.

In the center of the room, there is a spiritual tablet.

Zhao Ying stared at this spiritual throne, and her eyes flashed a bit dimly at this moment.

"Mother, I'm back!"

Zhao Ying murmured softly.

There seemed to be a bit of loneliness in his tone.

At this moment, Zhao Ying is completely unlike the former Princess Zhao who suppressed the ministers and made everyone in the world fearful.

Her eyes were calm and complicated, as if she was recalling some memory in her mind, and she was lost in thought.

Her mother is the queen of the current emperor of the Jokhang Dynasty and the only queen of Emperor Zhao.

Since her mother was weak due to dystocia and passed away not long after giving birth to her, Emperor Zhao was greatly stimulated and no longer had a queen.

To this day, the position of Queen Jokhang is still vacant.

She stared thoughtfully at the spiritual statue in front of her, a bit of nostalgia appearing in her mind.

…

"Squeak!"

The door to the room opened and Zhao Ying walked out.

Zhao Ying came out of the room, her face regained its cold temperament.

She came to the front yard, where the maids were waiting respectfully.

"Has the master ever come back?"

Zhao Ying glanced at several people.

The two maids shook their heads.

Still no news?

There was a hint of worry on Zhao Ying's face. Since the master left, there has been no news and he has never come back.

Where did he go when he left?

"Although the commander has not come back, I heard that a letter was sent to the capital some time ago..."

A palace maid spoke.

Zhao Ying's eyes narrowed: "Send a letter? To whom?"

"I don't know much about this. I heard it seems..."

The palace maid thought for a moment: "It seems to be Su Xiang of the Su family."

"Su Jian'an?"

Zhao Ying frowned slightly, thinking about something.

…

Su Mansion.

"Sister Su, can I take you out for a walk?"

At the house, Shen Qingning spoke out of boredom.

Su Shan, who was sitting in a wheelchair beside her, shook her head gently: "You go ahead, I won't go."

"Oh, sister Su, aren't you bored staying at home all day?"

"well enough."

Su Shan chuckled lightly.

stuffy?

Will not.

She's used to it.

But now that she has Qing Ning by her side, she doesn't feel bored.

"Why……"

Shen Qingning sighed: "I want to go back."

Although this capital city is nice, Shen Qingning does not have any sense of belonging. She is unfamiliar with everything here.

"Sister Su, why don't you come back with us then? There's nothing good about this capital!"

Shen Qingning advised.

"OK!"

Su Shan nodded: "If possible, I will go back with you then."

Speaking of this, a complex look appeared in her eyes.

If you really can go back.

She looked down at her legs and fell silent.

Her legs have recovered and she can walk normally.

However, until now, she has not been exposed.

She is waiting!

Wait for an opportunity!

Waiting for a chance...for revenge.

…

"Forget it, Sister Su, I'm going out for a walk. Do you have anything you want to buy? Can I buy it for you?"

Shen Qingning really couldn't stay at home anymore and planned to take Yun'er out for a walk.

Yun'er was bored at home for a long time, and quickly followed the young lady's suggestion.

"I don't have anything to buy, so be careful when you go out."

"Do not worry!"

Shen Qingning waved her hand and led Yuner out of the courtyard.

When he was about to leave the Su Mansion, he just reached the door and the door suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a man dressed in white stepped into the Su Mansion under the guidance of the servants of the Su Mansion.

When she saw this figure, Shen Qingning was stunned for a moment. She stopped and looked at the figure in white with slightly complicated eyes.

The figure in white also looked at her, frowning slightly and watching her calmly.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Yun'er beside her shook her.

"No, it's okay..."

Shen Qingning looked away from the figure in white, her eyes a little complicated.

"Me, let's go."

After saying that, she took one last deep look at Bai Yi and left with Yun'er.

The figure in white stood there, watching Shen Qingning leave with deep eyes.

"Princess, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The servant on the side said respectfully.

"They live here?"

Zhao Ying withdrew her gaze and seemed to ask unintentionally.

"Oh? Are you talking about Miss Shen?"

The servant nodded: "Miss Shen is a good friend of our Miss Su, so she has been living in our house."

"That's it."

Zhao Ying nodded calmly, without any emotional changes on her face.
