But today is different from the past. When these guards saw Chu Ci, their eyes instantly flashed with small and sad sparks. The little eyes... were so hard to bear to look at them.

Chu Ci didn't have to think that it must be her "unbearable affair" with the Beauty Emperor had spread throughout the palace. She touched her nose and felt that it was good to get used to it, so she ignored it and entered the main hall.

Cang Lingyue was sitting behind the imperial desk and was writing something. When he heard the movement, he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Ci, and asked with a smile: "It's faster than I thought I'd come back. Why, I've cleaned up the Dragon Soul Guard so quickly?"

"No, I don't have this ability." Chu Ci answered modestly and flattered as usual. "I just thought that even if I asked someone to bring words to Your Majesty, I would not be sure that Your Majesty would have any misunderstandings about my meaning, so I will quickly explain it to you."

"Talk about explanation..." Cang Lingyue suddenly put down her pen, looked at Chu Ci with deep eyes and asked, "Chu Aiqing, should you explain to me why you accidentally fall into the water because of your superb light skills?"

He also asked about this matter? Chu Ci was so upset when he heard someone mention it, so he blurted out without thinking, "Since Your Majesty is not here at that time, why should you care about these unspeakable things afterwards?"

Cang Lingyue's face darkened and she said to herself in a low voice: "I was..."

After saying three words, I stopped it and had no intention of continuing.

Chu Ci didn't care about this. Seeing that Cang Ling's focus was as far as ever, he thought that he had accused her of the request mentioned on the piece of paper. Now he felt that this trip was unnecessary, so he wanted to leave, "Since Your Majesty has no objection to my advice, then I will take the leave first?"

"There is one more thing." Cang Lingyue asked without any haste, "Chu Aiqing, you don't know yet. Gu Xiang came to ask me to go to inspect the sudden outbreak of the plague in the northwest area."

"What?" Chu Ci couldn't hide his surprise and couldn't help asking again, "What did you say?"

Cang Lingyue seemed to ignore Chu Ci's shock, and said meaningfully, "This plague in the northwest is strange. It is extremely lethal because it is easy to be contagious and difficult to treat. Although Gu Xiang's request was accurate, he was also worried about him..."

Chu Ci could no longer listen to the following words, and some fragmented thoughts kept flashing through his mind - why did Gu Shengge suddenly leave? Why did he go away at the moment when she wanted to show his feelings to him? He was hiding from her?

No, no matter what, the most important thing now is that it is too dangerous, and his body has been inexplicably too vain recently, so she can't let him take risks there!

Go find him!

Protect him and ask him why he hides from her!

Chu Ci knelt down with a plop and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I ask you to go to the northwest to inspect the plague."

"..." A trace of unexpected emotions flashed in Cang Lingyue's eyes, mixed with a hint of displeasure. He asked in a faint tone, "You are just a fourth-rank close guard beside me. It is a great gift for me to accept the Dragon Soul Guard. Why do you want to ask me for this life?"

He knew that he would refuse for no reason, but Chu Ci was not discouraged and continued: "Although I am not as talented as Gu Xiang, I have a good martial arts skills at least, which can help Gu Xiang!"

"Is this the reason?" Cang Lingyue sneered, his eyes turned cold, "You left the task I gave you to protect Gu Shengge, is this the reason?"

When he thought that Gu Shengge was already halfway and she was still wasting time here, Chu Ci was a little anxious and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please be sure!"

The more anxious she was, the more annoyed Cang Ling became. She was so annoyed that she was inexplicably upset that he was irritated, and just said hard: "If I can't say it, I won't be sure! There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, get out of here!"

Chu Ci had no choice but to get out first. If he really annoyed Cang Lingyue, maybe he would force her to lock her up on the charge of "debt-of-duty". At that time, he would really not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Although there was nothing he could do, Chu Ci still did not give up and wanted to find Gu Shengge back. He had not yet decided to pay attention to whether to leave the palace without authorization, so he had to pace upset while thinking.

About a quarter of an hour later, when Chu Ci looked up and saw a white and delicate little face, he felt that she and this girl were indeed a bad fate. He could see Rong Hua, who was so lazy that he would never leave the room as long as he was fine.

"Master, why do you look so depressed?" Rong Hua tilted his head and looked at Chu Ci in confusion.

Chu Ci was really upset, and he was completely unhappy. He opened his mouth and said what he thought to himself: "Is the Northwest Plague very powerful?"

"Ah? Yes!" Rong Hua thought for a while and said, "My hometown is in the northwest. I received a letter from my family a few days ago. I heard that it was from our neighboring Luo Kingdom. This country has never had a plague outbreak in more than a hundred years, but this time the plague came inexplicably but it is really fierce. What's even more terrible is that no effective treatment has been found yet and it is very easy to contagious. Ordinary people will be infected as long as they are infected with the plague!"

"Is it so serious..." Chu Ci murmured in a low voice, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his eyes to Rong Hua and asked, "Since it's so powerful, aren't you worried?"

"Ah?" Rong Hua opened his eyes wide and asked in a daze, "What are you worried about?"

"Is there no important person you have? You have to look for him even if you die."

Rong Hua shook her head and said without caring: "There is only my mother who has a little affection for me, but the relationship is pitifully small, and most of them are mutual use. I finally left there, so I don't want to go back!"

She said to herself, and after talking for a while, she realized something was wrong with Chu Ci. This time she didn't scream. She looked at Chu Ci seriously for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you want to find someone?"

"..." Chu Ci did not speak, but agreed.

Rong Hua said to himself with some regret: "Ah, although you have never admitted it, I have always thought you and the emperor were a couple, especially when I looked at his attitude towards you... Tsk, what a pity?"

Chu Ci felt a little awkward when he heard this and asked casually: "What's the attitude? What's the pity?"

"I think he likes you very much! But if you don't like him, isn't that a pity?" Rong Hua said seriously.

"..." Chu Ci had no choice but to hold his forehead, "Where did you know that he liked me? Girl, you can't let the ceremonial guard down, but you can't talk nonsense."

"You don't understand." Rong Hua suddenly shook his head seriously, and then said seriously, "This is a woman's intuition, and it is also a fujoshi's intuition."

"..." Chu Ci gave up and wasted his time with Rong Hua. Although he felt that he always talked nonsense when talking to Rong Hua, he seemed to be able to provide her with some important information, such as the situation in the northwest, which further strengthened Chu Ci's determination to find Gu Shengge.

Moreover, during the question and answer just now, she even thought of excuses.

So when I came to Anyang Palace again, Chu Ci knelt down and said directly: "Your Majesty, I want to take the Dragon Soul Guard out for some experience, please be sure."

"..." Cang Ling looked at Chu Ci more and more, his eyes darkened and he didn't speak.

Chu Ci continued with his face unchanged expression: "Your Majesty must also know that the Dragon Soul Guard is now corrupt and weak. If you let it go like this, it will be like the country is wasting money and raising waste. As the saying goes, the emperor does not rush to kill the guards. I am worried for Your Majesty, so I naturally cannot ignore such a situation. So I want to choose some representatives to lead them out to experience it, so that they can know the sufferings of the world."

"How many people do you want to take away?" Cang Lingyue interrupted Chu Ci's generous speech with a faint tone.

Chu Ci did not hide it and answered honestly: "Don't need too many, a thousand numbers are enough." There are too many people and it is easy to cause trouble, but she has no time to deal with the trouble now.

"Gu Xiang only brought a thousand elite soldiers." Cang Lingyue said inadvertently.

Chu Ci didn't answer this, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Rong Hua said just now, "Your Majesty likes you." Suddenly, he was a little scared. The beauty emperor always felt inexplicably with her, and always got angry with her in everything about Gu Shengge. Is it really that way

Chu Ci didn't dare to think about it anymore, thinking that this idea was simply terrible, so he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I think this move will definitely be unexpected."

"Don't you regret it?" Cang Lingyue interrupted her again and asked.

Chu Ci was a little confused by his question. He looked at the tone and Cang Ling knew her true purpose, but why didn't he expose it or refuse?

"No regrets." She replied.

"I don't regret dying there?" Cang Ling continued to ask, his eyes getting darker and darker.

Chu Ci nodded, "Don't regret it."

"Okay." Unexpectedly, Cang Lingyue nodded, and said in a calm tone, "Don't think that I'll send someone to collect your body!"

Is this...accurate?

At the moment when he was allowed, Chu Ci was not only excited, but also a little relaxed. Since Cang Lingyue had already said that regardless of her life or death, it would be impossible to like her? If she liked someone, such as Gu Shengge, she would never let this person take risks, and it would not be possible at all.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci felt relieved and smiled at Cang Lingyue, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!"

When Chu Ci walked into the Dragon Soul Guard Camp again, he obviously felt the changes here.

How to say it, at least not as many poor soldiers left when she first came, and some soldiers who saw on the road had almost all their faces confused but faintly happy.

It seemed that something had happened, she could vaguely guess.

Chu Ci went directly to Fang Yuan’s residence and pushed the door open. Sure enough, he saw the four people gathered there. Of course, his expression was different.
