Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Chapter 264: The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading and Unruly Buddhist Son

Qi Jueyu chuckled softly, his tone neither hurried nor slow: "Her personality is quite like yours."

Yun Qian was stunned when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter. Although his face was full of helplessness, he didn't say anything more in the end.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhao, dressed in a simple blue dress, was wandering the suburban market. Tall and slender, her features etched with a heroic air. Despite her simple attire, she exuded nobility. With her hands behind her back, she surveyed the surroundings, her bright eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Street vendors, children playing on the streets, and even the chivalrous men bragging after three drinks in a tavern, all became the objects of her observation.

One day, she accidentally heard about unusual activity on a certain border, sparking her interest. The next day, she went to investigate, only to be nearly ambushed by bandits. Had it not been for her childhood martial arts prowess and her cunning escape, she would have been in great trouble.

When she returned to the palace covered in dust and dirt, she was greeted by Yun Qianhan's piercing gaze.

"Lin Zhao!" Yun Qian called her name coldly, anger etched in her voice. "Do you know how many people outside have been kept awake all night because of you these past few days? You've tormented all the guards in the palace! Do you even know who you are?"

Lin Zhao lowered her head, not daring to look at her mother, but still stubbornly defended herself in a low voice: "Mother, I just... wanted to go and take a look."

Yun Qian almost laughed out of anger: "Look? You are the future crown princess, the whole world is yours to protect, and you almost lost your life just because you 'wanted to take a look'!"

Qi Jueyu walked in and said in a deep voice, "Zhao'er, if you truly want to protect the empire, you should understand the weight of responsibility. It's not that your mother doesn't love you, but if you act willfully, you'll be betraying her hard work."

After hearing this, Lin Zhao finally looked up at her father, her eyes filled with apology, but also with resentment. "Father, Mother, I understand my position... but I don't want to just stay in the palace and listen to the flattery of ministers. I want to know how the people of this world are doing. I want to know why those people on the border always start wars."

Yun Qian was stunned when he heard this. The anger in his eyes subsided a little, but he still said coldly: "If you really want to do it, you should do it openly, instead of doing it secretly and disregarding your own safety."

Lin Zhao responded softly, but a stubborn glint flashed in her eyes. Seeing this, Qi Jueyu sighed and whispered to Yun Qian, "Ah Qian, let Zhao'er go to the border. With guards accompanying her, maybe she can really learn something."

Yun Qian pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded: "Lin Zhao, the Queen Mother agrees that you can go, but you must protect yourself well. If you really want to protect the people of Da Qi, you must protect yourself well."

Before she could finish, Lin Zhao burst into laughter and said, "Thank you, mother! I will definitely not let you down!"

Looking at this lively child, Yun Qian was both angry and amused, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly. And from then on, Lin Zhao's growth path began to move towards a truly magnificent journey.

--------

In this life, Yun Qian accompanied Qi Jueyu for a long time. At first, she fed Yun Piao the "longevity" pill, which made Yun Hou live ten more years longer.

At the age of twenty-nine, she became empress and participated in government affairs. Together with Qi Jueyu, she did a great deal of good for the people and the country. She later had many lovely children, and honestly, she had no regrets in this life. Before her death, she gave five fertility pills and five dragon and phoenix pills to Lin Zhao. After all... to keep the dynasty going, ten pills should be enough.

However, the cyclical nature of history is always constant, and Yun Qian does not force it to be the end. This is not something she can force.

……

She has no regrets.

Qi Jueyu, this man loved her all his life, and until the end of his life, he only wanted to stay with Yun Qian. Yun Qian knew that he wanted to go ahead of her because he could not accept watching her leave the world. Yun Qian did not think there was anything wrong with such a small wish, so she simply fulfilled it.

Finally, holding his hand, Yun Qian recalled so many past years in her mind. They had done many things together, and Yun Qian felt very happy for the majority of their lives together.

Qi Jueyu, you don't need to be afraid of the separation due to death, because I have fallen deeply in love with you.
