Leng Qiyue rushed over to the Wolong Shrine. When Dongfang Haotian saw her, he immediately dismissed everyone and pulled her over to the study table. "Bai Lan sent back a message that the Empress Dowager had found the entrance to the hidden treasure. I plan to go there myself."

Leng Qiyue picked up the letter and unfolded it. It said, "The empress dowager has discovered the entrance and sent her troops over immediately."

Leng Qiyue asked, "Is the emperor going personally?" "It's too dangerous."

Dongfang Haotian said, "This silver definitely can't fall into the hands of the empress dowager. If she dares to gamble, why wouldn't I dare?"

Seeing how he had sworn that he would win, Leng Qiyue knew that she would not be able to persuade him otherwise. So she said, "I'm going too."

Dongfang Haotian was startled. Regret appeared in his eyes.

Leng Qiyue said, "Are you regretting telling me?" "I don't care. Now that I know it, you must bring me along, or else I will follow you even if I have to sneak away."

Dongfang Haotian understood Leng Qiyue's personality. He thought for a moment and decided that rather than letting her secretly run away, it would be better to put her at ease by his side. He then said: "Okay okay, I'll bring you there. Is that not enough?"

Only then did Leng Qiyue smile in satisfaction. With the excuse of going to the Jade Buddha Temple to pray for blessings, they led their men out of the palace in a hurry.

Because Leng Qiyue was pregnant, they had to sit in a carriage. This would delay their journey, but there was nothing they could do.

On the carriage, Leng Qiyue was bored and said, "Now that you already have three Tiger Talismans, can't you contend against Dongchang?"

Dongfang Haotian said, "I only have two Tiger Tally. Where do I get three?"

Only then did Leng Qiyue realize that she had forgotten to give him the Tiger Tally that she had found. She said embarrassedly, "I forgot to give you the Tiger Tally that I found in the Sunset Pavilion. It was all because of Rong Fei's assassination. I immediately forgot about it."

Dongfang Haotian's eyes lit up. "No wonder the former empress wrote to you. She wanted to tell you where the Tiger Tally was hidden." "Where's the Tiger Tally?"

Leng Qiyue smiled embarrassedly, "I put it in the palace. I didn't bring it out."

Dongfang Haotian didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. He said, "Remember to give it to me when you go back. I need to gather my forces."

"Mm, got it. Why do I feel like you value the Tiger Tally more than me?" Leng Qiyue said sourly.

Dongfang Haotian smiled and said, "The Tiger Tally is just a dead object. Whether or not I have it is just a matter of time. How can I compare to you?"

Leng Qiyue snorted and ignored him. She simply closed her eyes and dozed off.

Dongfang Haotian looked at her and thought back to the past. His heart was filled with emotion. If he had not recovered his memories, if he had not become the emperor, then Leng Qiyue should have been happier and more at ease than she was now. Now that they were about to receive their second child, he secretly hoped that this child was a girl so that they wouldn't have to suffer a calamity like this in the future.

Leng Qiyue opened her eyes and found that Dongfang Haotian's expression was solemn. Her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she asked: "What are you thinking?"

Dongfang Haotian was startled. Then, he said: "If I take you away now and fly high, then I won't care about the mortal world anymore. What do you think?"

Leng Qiyue thought he was joking, so she said, "Sure, but you'll only have me as your wife in the future. You're not allowed to bring other women away."

Dongfang Haotian solemnly said, "Good. Then I will give up everything and leave this place together."

Leng Qiyue felt that the atmosphere wasn't right and asked with a frown, "Are you serious?"

Dongfang Haotian nodded his head with all his might. His face was solemn, and it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Leng Qiyue's heart sank. "If you leave, who will be the emperor?"

Dongfang Haotian lowered his head in silence.

Leng Qiyue continued, "Great events are not child's play, and cannot be put down so easily. Now that you have become emperor, you must take responsibility for the good life of the people. If you think you can't let the people live and work in peace, then you can give the throne to the virtuous. "

Dongfang Haotian lowered his head and said, "But you've suffered too much because of this Jiang Shan."

Leng Qiyue lightly smiled, "I am not afraid of being wronged. Now that I have thought about it, coming to this world, I am destined for it. As a king, there will be many women around you, those who are spoiled, those who are not, even those who look like toads, that have to be kept in the harem for as long as it is useful. "

As Dongfang Haotian looked at Leng Qiyue, he felt even more guilty.

Leng Qiyue continued, "Since there is no longer any talent in the court, you must continue to shoulder this burden. It is not for yourself, but for the people. As for me, I'll help you as much as I can. Once your throne is secured, I'll be able to return successfully. "

"If my mountains and rivers are stable, where will you go?" Dongfang Haotian probed.

Leng Qiyue thought for a moment before replying, "Return to the Hao Yue Villa. That is my home."

Dongfang Haotian excitedly said: "I call you Queen, don't leave me."

Leng Qiyue smiled faintly, "I don't care for the position of Empress anymore. In the past, I wanted to fight for power just to be the sovereign, but now that I understand your intentions, I don't want to compete for that. Consort Rong has changed a lot, she's the one who's qualified to be the Empress."

Dongfang Haotian was depressed. Leng Qiyue was so dismissive of the position of empress that she desperately pushed it to another woman. Did she not know that no one could bully her until she became the empress?

The two of them didn't say anything more. Dongfang Haotian was sulking, and Leng Qiyue also didn't want to explain any further. The Imperial Palace was not the place she wanted to live. Only in the Hao Yue Villa would she have freedom and be able to live a free and unfettered life.

At night, the group took up residence in a manor in the mountains. The owner of the manor was an old man with the surname Zheng. His face was full of wrinkles. However, he still liked to laugh. When he smiled, his face was like a chrysanthemum, causing others to unconsciously laugh along with him.

Dongfang Haotian cupped his fists towards the manor lord and said: "Thank you for taking me in."

Elder Zheng laughed, "Those who come are guests, feel free to do so. Old man, I took care of the manor temporarily. Young master hasn't returned yet after he went out for some fun. "I am very worried, but I am unable to leave my body to go find him."

Dongfang Haotian said, "If Young Villa Master comes back to see us, wouldn't that be causing trouble for old sir?"

Elder Deng shook his head with a smile, "No worries, young master is also very hospitable. He definitely won't blame this old man. This old man will instruct the dishes and wine right now. Let's have a drink together."

Elder Deng was very cordial, so they didn't decline and settled in. During the banquet, Dongfang Haotian happily chatted with the old man, but Leng Qiyue felt that it was boring. She ate her fill and left the table, but instead of returning to her room, she went on an expedition to the backyard.

The backyard was full of exotic flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.

Leng Qiyue liked the fragrance of the flowers very much, so she dismissed the guards and strolled around the flowers. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he saw a unique looking small building in front of him. There was a big red lantern hanging at the entrance. She pushed open the door and entered curiously. There was no one inside, but the screen outside the door made her expression change drastically …
