The man in white suddenly extended his hand and gently caressed her hair. "Don't worry. You will be able to speak in a few days."

Ling Qing was not comfortable being stroked by him. He felt like he was a pet dog who had been petted.

She stepped back a little, cocked her head, looked at the man, and suddenly reached out boldly for his mask.

She definitely knew this person!

As long as she had met someone before, she would never forget who they were. It was just that she couldn't immediately remember who they were.

The man extended his hand to hold her wrist and shook his head. "There's no need to be so impatient. We will meet again in the end."

Ling Tian Qing continued looking at him with her head tilted, and after a while, she nodded, pointing at her own stomach, indicating that she was hungry.

The man wearing the ice jade mask turned around and instructed the maid, "Bring the young master here for a meal."

The maid was indeed dumb. She blessed herself and brought Ling Tian to a stone door at the side.

At this moment, the three thousand elite soldiers of the white-clad collar had arrived at Yuan Fang City in just two days.

The search was difficult.

Due to the calamity that had befallen the prefecture and the plague that had swept through, even though the city gates had been sealed right after Ling Tian Qing had disappeared, Ling Jin was still worried that she was no longer in Yuanfang City.

Furthermore, Ling Xuanxin could not stay here for too long, so he could only wait for three more days. If there was still no sign of the queen, he would set out for the palace.

Mo Yang had never seen such an anxious king.

However, thinking about how his young mistress was a phoenix and how it was related to the heavens, he could understand why Ling Jin lost his calm in the face of such a situation.

It was now the middle of summer, and the grass and trees of the south were long, deep and shallow green, like ink.

Wen Han was about to die from exhaustion. Because the Queen had disappeared, he had not slept for three nights. He had thoroughly investigated every corner of the city.

"Your Majesty, Wen Hou reported that among the refugees of the peaceful monastery, a woman was found to be very similar to the Empress."

Suddenly, there was a report from outside, causing the ice covered young man to have a look of hope in his eyes.

Wen Han had already brought the young girl back.

Ling Xi walked up to the young girl, who had her head lowered and her hair disheveled, and spoke in an extremely gentle voice, as if she was afraid of scaring the girl, "Raise your head."

The young girl looked up in fear. She actually... It really was Su Xiaoxiao. It was just that Ling Lingzhi suddenly took half a step back. After a long while, she finally said, "Bi Yun, bring Su Xiaoxiao to bathe and change into a new set of clothes."

Bi Yun helped the young girl into the room without a word. She continued to use her innocent eyes to size up the gorgeous room.

"Mistress, the king is so anxious. I thought I wouldn't be able to find you …" Bi Yun and Bi Yao washed the young girl, their hearts aching as they watched the five days of not seeing her, a girl that was like a beggar.

"Mistress, you've suffered greatly. You should return to the palace immediately …"

"Master …"

Finally, the two quick-witted palace maids realized that something was wrong.

The young girl who had washed herself clean still had a pure smile on her face. Her face was similar to Ling Tianqing's, and it seemed to have lost a bit of its spirit.

Taking a closer look, it wasn't just spiritual energy, but also temperament …

Completely different!

Looking at the well-dressed young girl, the hostility in her eyes did not dissipate in the slightest.

The girl did not dare to look into his eyes. She did not know why, but she seemed to be extremely afraid of strangers.

"Su Xiaoxiao, watch this king!" A humble order.

The girl shrank back for a while before she finally raised her head and looked timidly at the Emperor Dragon's face.

The pair of eyes were abnormally clear and clear, like that of a baby's. It carried a perplexed look, and a few traces of intelligence were lost within it.

Ling Lingcun suddenly waved his hand and placed the teacup by his side on the ground. The shattering sound made the young girl lower her head in fear.

He took a deep breath to control his anger. He extended his hand to pinch the girl's chin and asked in an extremely gentle tone, "What is your name?"

The young girl looked at him in fear. After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out three words, "Su …" "Xiaoxiao."

Su Xiaoxiao!

Ridiculous!

He had searched for Su Xiaoxiao thousands of times, but when she actually appeared, there wasn't even the slightest bit of happiness in his heart.

Because... That clever and eccentric little girl, Ling Tianqing, who had confirmed that she was not a part of Su Xiaoxiao, had disappeared!

Did she disappear from Su Xiaoxiao's body?

No, no, no... No, she and Su Xiaoxiao were two different people. Although their appearances were still very similar, but … Ling Qing's gaze and aura was not something that this young lady could possess.

If he lost Ling Tian Qing because he obtained the real Su Xiaoxiao, Ling Xi definitely would not have wanted such a trade.

Even if he could never find Su Xiaoxiao, even if others thought that he was an unconscious monarch and had stolen Ling Xue's wife, he would spare no cost as long as the one and only Ling Tian Qing.

"Green Shadow." Ling Xuanxuan's eyes turned blood-red as he shouted.

"Your subordinate is here." Green Shadow answered from the doorway.

"Get Qi Huan to come back. Let's see what poison he's been poisoned with!" Ling Lingshui said coldly.

"Your Majesty, she was not poisoned, but … "It seems like his brain is injured, and his intelligence is only about four to five years old …" The green shadow also realized that the girl was not Ling Tian Qing. If she was the little mistress, even if she had been stimulated or poisoned in the past few days, she would not have such a stiff expression.

When Su Qi Huan walked in, he immediately felt dizzy when he saw this young girl, who was crying and pouncing towards her, calling her 'big brother'.

Xiaoxiao …

He recognized his sister when she turned to ash.

This was because this kind of expression that only stopped at the age of five or six was not something that could be performed by anyone.

It really was Su Xiaoxiao.

This young girl that looked very similar to Ling Qing wasn't close with anyone else. When she saw Su Qi Huan, who had rushed over after hearing the news, she stared at him for a while before suddenly bursting into tears and refusing to let go.

Ling Chen recalled that the usually lively and overbearing little queen had once told him that she was from Earth, and that her name was Ling Tian Qing …

Even though he had always half believed and half doubted her, even calling her "little Qing Er" out of kindness, Ling Xingran had never dared to completely believe her lies.

Who would have thought that the preposterous words were actually true!

That little swindler said all the truth, but he didn't believe it.

When he finally believed her, she was no longer here …

The king stayed in Fangfang City for nearly ten days before finally returning to the palace.

No one knew about the missing waiter in front of the imperial palace, and the officials only treated it as a nightmare. All they knew was that the king was very dissatisfied with Fangfang City.

Wen Han did not return with them to the palace, but was ordered by Ling Xuejing to suppress the plague here to rebuild their home.

However, he still had an important mission – to find Ling Tian Qing.

Without finding him for a day, he could not return to the capital for a day.

The carriage creaked. Apart from the bodyguards and Su Qi Huan, no one else knew that Su Xiaoxiao wasn't the same as the previous Su Xiaoxiao.

Ling Xiang did not know Su Xiaoxiao from the General's Estate that well.

If it wasn't for the extermination of the General's Estate, he probably wouldn't have known about this rumored silly girl.

Right now, he wanted to bring Su Xiaoxiao back to the imperial city so that her mother could confirm her identity.

Although... From Qi Huan's reaction, he could deduce the truth, but... Ling Xuejian did not want to admit it.

He didn't want to admit that his Phoenix had flown away …

He would rather Ling Qing pretend to be a fool than admit that he had lost Ling Tianqing.

With a gloomy face, he watched Su Xiaoxiao and Wenren Xiaozi play a childish game within the carriage. Suddenly, he got up and walked outside.

His chest felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy stone. Not only was he worried about the mountains and rivers, he was also constantly thinking about the girl who had such weird words on her lips.

Because he could not leave the imperial city for too long, he had to return to the palace as soon as possible. He did not know where that girl had gone to, nor did he know if she would come back …

He definitely wouldn't take the initiative to run back!

She was not a puppy that recognized her master at all. She was a vengeful wolf cub!

In the short span of a few days, perhaps it was due to the worries of the nation, or perhaps it was due to the presence of the real and fake Queen.

Did Grandmaster Qing Xu mean the real Su Xiaoxiao he had found later?

However, after thinking back and forth, he still lost a lot of things between gains and losses.

After a few more months, the army of Shining Snow suddenly discovered a divine object — a bomb. With divine assistance, it finally broke through the siege, levelled the rebellion, subdued the enemy, signed a peace agreement, and returned to the imperial capital with complete victory.

The king opened the city gates, spread yellow silk, and welcomed them within ten miles. The common folk walked among them, all of them admiring the majesty and elegance of the young general surnamed Wang.

All of a sudden, the grand scene caused some officials to be surprised. When Ling Xiang had been in a rage and had lost all experience when he had fought, did Ling Xue have any ulterior motives?

Seeing Ling Xingran so diligently welcoming Ling Xue, he knew without even thinking that he would definitely give Ling Xue countless rewards.

The city gates were wide open, and all the officials stood at attention. The citizens of the capital raised their heads and looked up at the young marquis on his white steed.

In front of him was the dragon carriage, and inside was the master of the beautiful mountains and rivers.

Ling Xue dismounted from his horse, and due to the inconvenience of wearing armor, he kneeled on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, this subject does not disgrace the Holy Grace, and has forced the enemy troops to retreat. We have signed an agreement, the Western Liang Empire does not need to invade the land of the heavens."

"Please rise, Xue Hou." Ling Xuanxin also got out of the chariot, walked up to Ling Xue, and bent down to help him up.

What a scene of a king, Ming, Chen, Xian, and the rich and powerful of the nation.

If Ling Tianqing could see this, she would probably cry herself to death.

Her wise and mighty young duke had finally come to greet her on his White Dragon Horse.

However, she was no longer there ….

"Does Your Majesty remember your words in the throne room?" The moment Ling Xue stood up, he rushed straight to his reward.

"Of course I do." Ling Xinyi nodded.

He waved his hand and the two palace maids pulled Su Xiaoxiao out.

When Ling Xue saw this girl, her eyes flashed with surprise.

"Your reward is the same as when you left. This King has returned to my side." Ling Zui had actually used the word 'return to the treasure' that Ling Tianqing had told him.

But... The young girl whose mouth was filled with heavenly books had already disappeared.

"This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for his consent!" When Ling Xue saw that Su Xiaoxiao's complexion was very good and not as pitiful as he had thought it would be, he was instantly filled with joy and shock. He was about to kneel down and express his gratitude.

"Ling Xue, go back first. This king will hold a banquet to welcome you back. It has been hard on you." Ling Xi stretched out his hand, holding onto Ling Xue's cupped fist, blocking Ling Xuanxue's kneeling posture, and said indifferently.

"Yes." Ling Xue was slightly surprised.

Because today's meeting with Ling Xiang seemed very tired, although the greeting to him was grand, one could not see the joy in his heart.

It seemed like … The king had met with even greater trouble, and no matter how great the victory was, it would not arouse his interest.
