"Qing Qing, promise me that you won't leave me no matter what happens, okay?"

He had never done anything to her that would let her down. However, towards the original owner, there were some mistakes that could not be easily forgiven. The original owner's wish was to make him love her but not be able to.

Duanmu Yu Ling was waiting for her reply, but the person in his arms didn't move at all. Could it be that she didn't want to? He knew he had a guilty conscience towards the empress. Before yesterday, he had felt that this was what he should have done, but now he regretted it, and his heart was in turmoil.

Qing Qing only returned to her senses when she felt the strength in Duanmu Yu's embrace tighten. She chuckled and said, "No matter what happens, chenqie is still your empress. How could I leave you?"

Duanmu Yu Ling wasn't happy with Qing Qing's reply, but he knew that she just saw him as her husband and didn't see him as her man. To put it simply, he knew that Qing Qing didn't fall in love with him, but had only married him.

"I will definitely make you willingly stay by my side." Duanmu Yu Ling's deep voice whispered into Qing Qing's ear. His voice was filled with an unprecedented resolve.

"Your Majesty …" "Hm ~"

Qing Qing was about to explain herself when she suddenly felt something soft on her lips. Then, a voice rang out next to her ear. "Don't say anything. You just need to feel my heart."

'Ding … guide target affability level + 3, current affability level 88. '…

Just like that, the two of them stayed in the abyss for three days and three nights. In the past three days, Duanmu Yu Ling had always been kind to Qing Qing, not needing her to do anything to help him catch fish, pluck wild fruits, or light a fire. He had done it all by himself and had completely put down the airs of an emperor.

As for Qing Qing, she saw that Duanmu Yu Ling had been trained quite well and was afraid that there would be a commotion without him. After the injury on her foot healed, she pretended to walk around, but it was actually to look for Xiao Qi and her.

"Are you sure the exit is here? The grass here is so tall, could there be snakes inside? " The grass was even taller than her, so Qing Qing didn't seem to have an exit at all.

"Believe me, this is a place where an otherworldly expert of the previous dynasty lived in seclusion. In order to prevent outsiders from disturbing him, I purposely left this place of entry and exit in a remote place. And I also need to find the mechanism to open the exit."

Qing Qing braced herself to push the weeds away and walked about ten steps inside. Finally, she saw the exit that Xiao Qi had said. She looked up and down, but could not find the mechanism to open the stone door.

"Little Seven, where's the mechanism mechanism?"

"To your right, have you noticed anything strange about the largest stone?"

Qing Qing carefully studied it and discovered that the surface of the rock was quite smooth. In the middle of the rock was a small protrusion. If one did not look carefully, they would not notice it at all.

"And then?" Qing Qing felt around the small bulge, but could not find any clues.

"Pull it out, then turn it counterclockwise three times, then turn it clockwise five times."

In accordance to Xiao Qi's words, the stone door began to rise again, but the other side of the stone door was not directly leading to the outside. According to Xiao Qi's words, the stone door began to rise again, but the other side of the stone door was not directly leading to the outside.
