Reborn and Queen

"Xi Yuanhou and the Crown Prince broke through the siege and fled to Yuquan Terrace!"

"Qingyang, take the horse immediately and lead me to Yuquan Terrace!"

Although Ling Yuexi has never been to Yuquan Terrace, she has heard that Yuquan Terrace is the highest point in the imperial city and has a natural clear spring. The royal water in the palace was quoted from here, hence the name 'Yuquan Terrace'.

The imperial mausoleum was built on the dangerous terrain of the back mountain, and it took more than ten miles to walk from here.

When Wu Qingyang brought the horse over, the two of them immediately galloped towards Wuquan Terrace.

In the distance, the Red Phoenix Army surrounded Yuquan Terrace like iron barrels, with archers and crossbowmen ready to go. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, a pair of people immediately turned around and took aim.

When they saw clearly that it was the queen and Wu Qingyang, they immediately knelt on the ground, shouted a thousand years ago, and stepped out of the way.

"Pingshen!"

Ling Yuexi quickly dismounted her horse and walked quickly through the crowd.

"Wait!"

With a cold shout, Feng Zhuo, wearing white armor, blocked their way.

"The Emperor has an order that no one is allowed to enter without permission!"

Wu Qingyang immediately drew her sword and glared at Fengzhuo angrily, and the two fought.

Ling Yuexi's eyes turned cold and she said coldly: "Can the Emperor explain that this 'anyone' includes me?"

Fengzhuo hesitated for a moment, unable to answer, but his body was still blocking the way.

"Get out of the way!"

Ling Yuexi took the knife from Wu Qingyang's hand, put it on Feng Zhuo's neck, and said sternly: "General Feng should keep his life and continue to resent me!"

Most of the Red Phoenix sergeants had accompanied the Queen on the expedition. Feng Zhuo knew clearly that if he insisted on blocking it, he would probably lose his military morale after the Queen's words. Now that he felt unwilling to do so, he would give way!

When Ling Yuexi, Wu Qingyang and the two walked up the blue brick steps, Feng Zhuo slowly raised his head, his eyes dark and knowing.

The defeat of the Feng family and the death of the imperial aunt were all due to the conspiracy of this woman, Ling Yuexi, in Feng Zhuo's heart.

'Ling Yuexi, one day, I, Fengzhuo, will let your Ling family follow the path of the Feng family, and your end will be even more miserable than that of the imperial aunt!'

Resentments have always been mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, but in the end, it was just the rain hitting the banana trees and the wind blowing away the remaining clouds in the lonely desolation.

There is only one road in Yuquan Terrace, which is the artificially dug blue brick steps. There is not a tree on the grassy slopes on both sides. Even a bird can see it clearly. However, the more you walk on the winding green brick road, the more you get.

It is steep, with rugged rocks and thorns blocking the way.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was darkening. Ling Yuexi faintly heard the sound of fighting and was panicked.

"Qingyang, don't you know how to do Qinggong? Take me and fly up quickly!"

"This - well, I accept your order!"

The reason why Wu Qingyang was worried was that if they flew away at this time, they would be accidentally injured by the arrogant soldiers, but seeing the worried look on the queen's face, she couldn't say anything out loud.

Yuquan Terrace is actually a rugged cliff, like a hanging boulder, standing abruptly on the mountain peak, with an endless abyss behind it.

Ling Yueming and others stood guard on the top of the cliff, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and faced off against the golden armor led by Xiao Sujin himself. Xiao Mojue also wielded the long sword and led a team of crossbowmen to wait for the opportunity.

"There's an assassin!"

Suddenly, an unknown soldier shouted. Xiao Sujin and Xiao Mojue both turned around and saw a dark yellow figure leaping towards them.

"No arrows allowed!"

Xiao Mojue raised his hand to signal, and just as he drank, the crossbowmen behind him thought it was an order, and all turned around to shoot arrows.

"My dear, be careful!"

Wu Qing raised her toes and jumped up, dodging sharp arrows, but was struck by a dart on her shoulder.

At this time, the people below also saw clearly that the person coming was Wu Qingyang, and the one carrying behind him was the Queen!

"Xi'er!"

Xiao Sujin called out nervously, wanting more and more to catch Ling Yuexi, because Wu Qingyang was clearly out of energy.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Xiao Mojue flew up and struck down with his sword, splitting open the attacking man in black. At the same time, the crossbowman was also attacked by the secret dart. In this flash of lightning, a foot of black silk appeared on the top of the cliff.

He rolled up Ling Yuexi on Wu Qingyang's back.

"Empress!"

Wu Qingyang exclaimed, but she couldn't support herself and fell down.

"Qingyang!"

Ling Yuexi almost cried, but fortunately, Wu Qingyang was caught by Xiao Mojue when she fell.

The sneak attack was over and everything was peaceful again.

This moment happened so fast that people thought it had never happened, but looking at Wu Qingyang who was unconscious, Xiao Sujin understood that his Xi'er had been kidnapped by Ling Yueming!

If Ling Yueming is really Ling Yuexi's brother, maybe he is not afraid.

"Ling Yueming, if you dare to harm the Queen, I will cut you into pieces!"

Xiao Mojue secretly used his true energy to transmit his voice, and his voice was deep and cold.

Ling Yuexi was pressed on Ling Yueming's acupuncture points and held in her arms. When she heard Xiao Mojue's voice, she gradually smiled.

His face was originally like jade, gentle and elegant, but at this moment, it revealed a fierceness, and his eyes were gloomy, making his facial features even more stern.

"The regent still feels sorry for my sister!"

"Ling Yueming, no, it should be the Master Lan of the Tiansha Sect, right?"

Ling Yuexi looked fearless and stared at Ling Yueming closely.

Ling Yueming was obviously startled.

"You originally wanted to implicate me by plotting against the Ling family? But now you can't fly, it seems uneconomical!"

"How do you know it's not a good deal?"

Ling Yueming suddenly burst out laughing, her voice as loud as a bell:

"Xiao Sujin, Xiao Mojue, if you two want to protect the queen, you have to climb up the cliff. Otherwise, I, Ling Yueming, will die together regardless of me!"

"Qi'er, don't hurt Xi'er, she, she is innocent!"

A sigh came from not far away, with a hint of helplessness and a hint of worry.

It's Ling Maoze!

Ling Yuexi's eyes widened in shock. She wanted to be sure, but she couldn't move at all and could only stare at Ling Yueming hatefully.

It turns out that Ling Maoze was the insider, so he and the Lan family worked together to rescue Liu Yiyi back then!

'Let me go, I have the right to know the truth!'

Ling Yueming naturally understood, then smiled, retreated to the edge of the cliff, and helped Ling Yuexi sit down.

"Uncle Ling Shi has thought too much, how could Lan Qi hurt his 'sister'!"

While talking and laughing, he flew onto a sharp rock and stood in wait with the remaining unknown man in black.

"Xi'er, dad, I'm sorry for you!"

Ling Maoze squatted in front of Ling Yuexi, speaking sadly!

"Tell me, why?"

Ling Yuexi suddenly wondered whether Ling Maoze had already known about the injustice suffered by the second lady.

"I once had a sworn friendship with Mrs. Lan's brother, Gang Leader Liu, and was saved by Mr. Lan. That's why after the Lan family's accident, I discussed with Mr. Lan to fake death to deceive everyone and secretly transport Mrs. Lan, who was pregnant with Wujia...

…”

"Xi'er!"

With a worried call, Ling Yuexi couldn't move, but she knew that it was Xiao Sujin and Xiao Mojue who really came alone. However, she saw that there were only a few people in Ling Yueming, so she was not too worried.

"Dad, if you still recognize me as your daughter, then take me there!"

Ling Yuexi thought of the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. She was afraid that she would become the dagger in Ling Yueming's hand again and hurt Xiao Sujin or Xiao Mojue.

"Xi'er, don't worry, Lan Qi promised dad that he won't hurt you!"

Ling Maoze was heartless and walked away, standing behind Ling Yueming - Lan Qi.
