C281 For the sake of meeting

He had participated in the empress's inauguration ceremony, which meant he had seen Qingluo in advance, and had even helped the emperor along the way. Why wouldn't he do that?

Luo Yi immediately understood what was going on and felt embarrassed. "I'm so tired. I must have lost my mind from running all the way here."

Looking at Luo Yi's unwilling look, Luo Qingqi couldn't help but laugh out loud. The lofty sentiments on the battlefield made this fine man who was only good at gathering intelligence and was skilled in lightness techniques, become a hero who wielded a large blade and flew across the battlefield.

The people who gathered intelligence all knew that patience was the most important factor in intelligence. Now that he said this, he was modest. It was not that he was confused but he was worried and confused.

"We'll be going around the palace. You don't need to follow me. There are enough soldiers to clear the way. You can directly ride back to the mansion to rest."

How could Camel and the others not be worried? No matter how tired they were, it would not be a waste of time. They still wanted to send their prince to the palace before returning to his residence.

"If I say there's no need, then there's no need, quickly listen to my orders and return to the Prince Yi's Mansion." Luo Qingqi's insistence left the few of them no other choice but to watch as the Prince turned his horse around and headed in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

The dozen or so people watched as the prince's figure disappeared, then they hurriedly rode back to the Prince Yi's Mansion. When they reached the Prince Yi's Mansion, the gatekeeper could see dozens of horses galloping over from far away.

He had been waiting for the princess to return to her house when he arrived at the gatehouse. When he saw the group of people speeding along, he jumped in fright. When he reached the gatehouse and saw Luo Yi's group, he was overjoyed.

Since Camel and the others had returned to the mansion, the prince must have returned as well. He hastily called for the gatekeeper to inform them of the return of the return trip, and he walked towards the side door with Luo Yi's horse in tow.

"Brothers, you've finally returned. It's been a long journey!" Before they had taken a few steps, someone had already rushed out from the side door. The first two people were naturally Luo Wu and Luo Liu.

Behind him were the other guards of the manor. They entered the side door of the manor and dismounted their horses. Naturally, someone helped them lead the horses to the stables.

"Brothers, you are truly worthy of admiration. It's just that we are in a hurry, so we must be tired. I've already got someone to prepare hot water, wash up, and eat something. Let's rest first, and wait for our brothers to wake up before coming back."

Just by looking at their expressions, one could tell that they were exhausted. Luo Liu hurriedly ordered his men to prepare food and hot water, but Luo Yi immediately rejected them.

"The ones that wash and eat first, we brothers need to sleep now. We can talk after we wake up."

Luo Yi and the others were living in the outer court. Although they had left the mansion, their house hadn't changed at all. They dismounted and rushed to their own house.

Luo Wu, Luo Liu and a few of the guards entered the room separately.

After everyone had thrown themselves onto the bed, they immediately fell asleep. They couldn't even take off their shoes. How tired must they be to be trapped in such a state?

He was afraid of waking them up, so he didn't dare take off their outer clothes. He only took off their boots with tears in his eyes, covered them with a blanket, and then quietly left. He looked at each other outside and couldn't stop crying.

"Let's go and prepare some food for them." Luo Wu waved and closed the doors beside them, then led his people to retreat.

Luo Liu muttered to him softly, "I wonder how the Prince is doing, Brother Luo and the others are very tired, if not they would have already fallen asleep before we ask him about his condition."

At this time, Luo Qingqi had already dismounted and entered the palace. It was just that, when he saw Luo San outside the palace gates, he became exceptionally warm, as Mo Li and Mo Fu accompanied the wangfei here today. It was just that before the two of them even got down from the horse carriage to pay their respects to the prince, the prince had already entered through the palace door.

"King Yi, this way, please." An attendant who had already led the way waited inside the palace gates. Upon seeing Seventh Prince Luo Qingqi, he immediately ran over, and bowed as he led the prince towards the large hall.

Luo Qingqi did not hesitate as he followed the servant all the way to the main hall.

"Prince Yi has arrived —" Because the time had come, the Empress's enthronement ceremony had already begun, and the hall was exceptionally quiet. As a result, the attendant's voice was extremely low, only allowing the nearest attendant to hear.

Then, they passed it one by one to the front of the hall, but it was only a very small notification, and it seemed to have been heard by Qingluo. Or perhaps she had sensed it, the moment Luo Qingqi entered the hall and stepped on the edge of the red carpet, Zheng Qingluo's eyes became void of anyone else.

The moment Luo Qingqi entered the hall, he immediately looked in the direction of the woman. Without even looking at her twice, he saw Qingluo who was looking at him.

It was still the same appearance as in his memories. Only, that urgent gaze made Luo Qingqi's heart beat violently, even when facing thousands of soldiers and horses, his heart had never throbbed like this.

He really wanted to rush over, hug her, comfort her, and love her, but there was an insurmountable ravine between the two of them. This distance of twenty to thirty meters was simply out of reach.

"I'm back" Luo Qingqi looked at Qingluo, her mouth opened wide in silence. He knew that Qingluo could see him.

"Welcome home —" When Luo Qingqi saw Qingluo's tears, his heart instantly broke into pieces.

"Greetings, Queen! Long live and long live the empress!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor for his great happiness! May the Emperor live for tens of thousands of years!"

The empress's inauguration ceremony had already ended. Zheng Qingluo raised her eyes and saw Wang Zirou standing on the white jade stone steps, dressed in a phoenix robe and wearing a phoenix crown.

That imposing aura was so solemn that it could make people revere without words. As expected, once a person reached a higher place, his majesty was immediately displayed. Qingluo felt that a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

From then on, she should not have to worry about this woman who was only a few months older than her. She had seen too many of her methods in the two months she was waiting for her enthronement.

With her current identity and status, there was probably no need for him to worry about her anymore. From now on, Wang Zirou was Taishang's Empress Wang.

"Duke Xuan Yi, meet His Majesty — —" Bai Dezi's sharp and clear voice was transmitted over with great penetrative power. This Prince Yi had too much of a face, it had been many years since Bai Dezi had done this kind of work.

From this, it could be seen that the emperor valued King Yi very highly. The great hall once again fell silent, but everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Qingqi, watching him walk step by step towards the emperor, kneeling on one knee and clasping his hands in greeting.

"Greetings to the Emperor. I, Luo Qingqi, will not disappoint the Emperor's request. I will kill the enemy outside the pass and bring the army back with great success." When he finished reporting, he kneeled down and kowtowed three times to the emperor.

"Royal brother, Qing Xun did not bring shame to my royal brother, he took the lead and personally led the troops to resist the enemy, killing him and toppling the enemy. All the heroic young men of my Taishang are brave and good in battle, no one is afraid of death, with this soldier, my Taishang will naturally prosper even more."

These words had reached the heart of a saint. Regardless of which dynasty or generation of monarch it was, they did not want the countries under their rule to be strong, the armies to be strong, and the kingdoms to prosper.

"My royal brother, please get up. You have done a lot of good in the border trials, and with you as the prince, taking risks is already a good role model for my Taishang's sons. With you in front of the army, they will naturally fight even more valiantly."

"With such a valiant royal brother, my Taishang will not be in a precarious position in the world." The emperor had already personally supported Luo Qingqi, and was standing side by side with him.

"Seventh Brother, today you have returned victorious, you subdued Pandas and other races, and at the same time, you ascended the throne as the Queen of Taishang. Two joyous events, two happy events, will surely ensure the safety of our Taishang and the rest of the world."

His Royal Highness was the one who praised them, "An Ye has established the state of Pingguo —"

"Today's ceremony has been completed. The nation's great general has worked hard all the way back to his residence to rest. At the assembly the next day, all the warriors will discuss their merits and reward." The emperor waved his hand, and the grand ceremony came to an end.

As the crowd began to move out of the hall, the man left first, followed by the woman. As soon as Qingluo stepped out of the hall, a big warm hand grabbed her right hand, and they charged forth for a thousand miles just to meet up with each other.

Led by a big hand, Qingluo no longer cared about the gazes of the people around her. All she could see was the man beside her, and all she could think of in her heart was this man beside her.

By the side of the carriage that was brought to his house, Luo San quickly pulled open the curtain, her face was filled with excitement, "Your Highness, please get on the carriage, Princess Wangfei, please get on the carriage."

Because there were others by his side, Luo San didn't call them master, but instead called them prince. Luo Qingqi nodded, and got on the carriage first. Then, he turned around and pulled up Qingluo, causing the two of them to be unable to part.

When Mo Li and Mo Fu saw the Prince getting on the horse carriage, the two of them sat on the shaft of the horse carriage and covered it with the curtains.

Luo San then tied up the prince's horse at the side of the carriage, raised his hand and swung the whip, carefully driving the horse carriage towards Prince Yi's Mansion, and at the same time being careful not to make the horse carriage bumpy.

"Qingluo, I'm back." Although it was nonsense, Luo Qingqi wanted to say that he wanted to tell the people beside him that he had returned. Even though she was wearing a body full of fatigue and dust, he had finally returned home.

"En!" Qingluo didn't know what to say. She just wanted to grab onto him and look at him. This was more important than anything else.

"I missed you —" It was the kind of painful yearning that made you unable to sleep at night, unable to sleep during the day.

"I miss you too —" The thought of heartbreak, the thought of pain.
