Xiao Qingqian explained his intentions to Wei Qing simply, and Wei Qing expressed her agreement. However, during the time that Xiao Qingqian was in the palace, she had another idea.

After hearing her thoughts, Xiao Qingqian's face immediately darkened.

"Don't worry, let me analyze it for you." Wei Qing held his hand and said warmly.

"To split your troops into two and let you head towards the Southern Kingdom alone, do you think that I will be able to relax?"

Wei Qing looked at Xiao Qingqian without blinking, "You must believe that there's only you in my heart."

"I'm not worried about that."

"What's that?"

"I'm worried."

"If you are Long Xiaotian, will you stay in the Xie Jing or head over there?"

Xiao Qingqian frowned and thought for a moment, "He should be staying in Xie Jing."

Wei Qing shook her head, "To Long Xiaotian, Chu Yin is a variable, he is most likely going to the Southern Kingdom."

"If that's the case, then I can't let you go to the Southern Kingdom alone."

"Master taught me a method to raise a Gu quickly, allowing me to grow a Gu worm in half a month. Now, there are still a few days until half a month's time, so I should be there in a few days."

Looking at Wei Qing's pair of eyes that were brimming with vigor, Xiao Qingqian turned around and firmly held onto Wei Qing's hand, "Qing'er, you're taking too much risks like this."

"How can I get into a tiger's den?" Wei Qing gave him a comforting look, "You must believe that your woman is not a vase!"

"No one has ever called you a vase!"

Wei Qing leaned into his embrace, "If I don't get rid of Long Xiaotian, I will never be at peace!"

He felt a lump in his throat. Other than hugging her tighter, he could not say another word.

This night was very short for Xiao Qingqian. Even though he had unparalleled hope that the sky would never brighten, at least, the color of dawn still appeared in the east.

In order to deceive people, Wei Qing and Mo Qi, as well as the two hidden guards, left first.

"Stop nagging, it's not like we'll never see each other again." Wei Qing laughed and poked Xiao Qingqian's forehead.

Xiao Qingqian forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, sighed, and helped Wei Qing up the horse.

Wei Qing curled her lips and said: "You also need to pay attention to your safety, don't worry about rushing over, and also need to rest properly."

"Alright."

Wei Qing suppressed her melancholy of leaving, and with a pinch on the horse's belly, the horse shot forward like an arrow that had left its bow.

The congealed horse gradually moved further and further away, finally congealing into a dot, and then never to disappear again. Xiao Qingqian retracted his gaze, clenched his hands which were hanging at the side of his legs, and turned around to return to the Prince Chu’s Mansion.

The next day, Xiao Qingqian left for Xie Jing.

This time, Xiao Qingqian wanted to advise the First Prince of Xie Jing, hoping that he could cooperate with him so that the people of the world can avoid the suffering of war.

"Your Highness, the Princess is about to arrive at Li County." Halfway there, a pigeon landed on the shoulder of the Dark Guard.

Xiao Qingqian frowned, he suddenly pulled on the reins and smiled: "This damned woman, does she not know how to rest?"

"Your highness, your subordinate will pass on the message right away." The hidden guard met his gaze that was filled with rage, and his heartstrings fiercely trembled.

Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows were almost twisted into a lump. "Just say it, if she goes all out like this again, this king will turn around and spank her butt again!"

The shadow guard stretched his neck and said, "Yes, this subordinate will pass on the message."

Because they weren't too far away from each other, very quickly, Wei Qing received news from the hidden guards.

Hearing Xiao Qingqian's words, Wei Qing's stomach ached from laughing.

However, after laughing, she was truly afraid, afraid that Xiao Qingqian would really change his direction.

"If you let him travel in peace, I will rest." After Wei Qing had the secret guard write down the short note, he continued to move forward.

In the evening, Wei Qing let the hidden guards go to Li County first. After choosing an inn, she had a good rest.

After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she stood by the window and quietly looked at the stars shining brightly in the sky. It was as if she could see Xiao Qingqian giving her a light smile.

With the addition of the cape, Wei Qing was startled, and turned to look at Mo Qi who was filled with concern.

"First Miss, don't catch a cold."

Wei Qing answered with a "En" sound, "Rest well, I will sleep soon."

"Alright."

After watching it by the window for a while, Wei Qing took a deep breath, suppressed the strong feelings of longing and laid down beside Mo Qi.

The sun had set and the moon had set. The distance between them had grown longer and longer. The news had also traveled further and further.

Just as she was about to reach the southern border, Wei Qing finally received another message from Xiao Qingqian.

Their journey was extremely smooth, and they had still warned Wei Qing to be careful of rest, and not rush over.

Being this concerned about him, Wei Qing felt a warm feeling in her heart, enough to disperse the fatigue on her body.

Along the way, Wei Qing arrived at the village where she fought the plague together with Chu Yin.

The villagers were very prosperous. Someone recognized her and invited her to stay at home for a while.

Wei Qing was so touched that her eyes turned red as she looked at the sumptuous dishes the villagers had prepared for her.

"This hen can even lay eggs, how can she be killed so easily?"

"If it wasn't for Princess Chu saving us back then, we would have already died from that plague." The villagers who had received Wei Qing's help said together.

Wei Qing drank a mouthful of chicken soup, then said with curved eyebrows: Delicious.

After staying in the village for less than an hour, Wei Qing had to set off again.

The villagers brought her some pancakes and dried rations before leaving the village to send her off.

Wei Qing's gaze swept across the faces of the children and elders and suddenly frowned.

Her gaze landed on the Village Chief's face, "Village Chief, recently, the Southern Kingdom and the Xie Jing have formed an alliance and sent troops to the East Mausoleum. Have all the men from the village joined the army yet?"

The Village Chief sighed, "Life is good. We must fight. I don't know how many people will be able to come back alive this time."

Wei Qing's heart suddenly felt a huge pressure, and the hand under her sleeve tightened.

"Mo Qi, return everything back to me."

Hearing that, everyone's face changed, "Princess Chu, what are you doing?"

Wei Qing said: "The men will go out and join the army, each family only has a few women, elderly and children left, the spring is about to start, and every family does not have much food storage. After spring begins, I will still have to work. I definitely won't be able to watch you suffer. "

"Princess Chu is truly a Bodhisattva!" The village chief led a group of villagers and kneeled down.

"Everyone, get up. The ground is cold."

Wei Qing and the rest quickly helped them up.

"Princess Chu, take care."

Wei Qing nodded, "Go back."

After a few more days, Wei Qing and the others finally arrived at the Southern Kingdom's Capital City.

Unlike the flourishing Capital City of the Northern Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom's capital city always felt depressed.

Wei Qing secretly thought that maybe it was because of the Southern Kingdom sending their troops.

"Mo Qi, find an inn to stay at first." Wei Qing instructed.
