After gently wiping off the tears from the corners of his eyes, he did not dare to look at the golden words again. He turned around and quickly left.

However, Xue Fu was related to Yue Ye, so he naturally could not care too much about this. With her power, it was not difficult for her to cultivate and escape the palace. Furthermore, with her previous experience, she easily found the most unguarded corner of the imperial palace, which was the deepest part of Pear Garden.

After exiting the palace, Xue Fu first returned to Bai Du, then snuck in from the back door before heading straight to the Third Wife's courtyard. The courtyard was cold and deserted, as if no one lived there. Xue Fu's mind was startled, then he suddenly became anxious and searched the entire courtyard for the third wife. Because no one lived in the house, there was a layer of dust which was completely different from when she had entered the palace.

With a hoarse voice, she called out for her mother. Tears rolled down her face due to the anxiety in her heart. A maidservant who passed by stopped when she heard a low cry. Seeing that it was Xue Fu, she was startled and immediately bowed in greeting. Her mouth was so dumb that she didn't know if she should call her Young Miss or the Empress. Xue Fu did not want to alarm the rest of the people in the residence, so he wiped the tears off his face and stared at the little servant girl and asked: "Where's my mother?"

The little maidservant trembled as she replied, "Go back..." In reply to the empress, the empress, she … "She died not long after the Empress entered the palace."

"What did you say?" "He died of a disease?" Xue Fu was shocked. His mind immediately went blank as he muttered to himself.

"This servant doesn't dare to lie …" The servant girl anxiously replied, "After the Empress entered the palace, the mistress bathed her face in tears every day. Afterwards, she was infected with the cold and fell ill. I beg that the Empress grieve …"

This was simply a thunderbolt from a clear sky. How could she mourn it? Xue Fu finally collapsed and kneeled on the ground, crying bitterly. One of her hands tightly covered her small mouth to prevent the sound of crying from overflowing too far. She had always been worried about her mother, and had even always been threatened by her Prime Minister Bai because of her mother. So his mother had died a long time ago, and no one had even told her!

Seeing that she was crying so bitterly, the little brat didn't know what to do. It was impossible for her to stay here any longer. Standing by Xue Fu's side, she looked at her crying body trembling under the sun, until a cold voice sounded.

"Yo, our empress has returned home. What a rare guest!" Xue Fu's weeping stopped as a black shadow came over and covered her. Soon after, a beautiful dress with flowers appeared in front of her. She didn't look up, just wiped the tears from her face.

The First Lady looked at her condescendingly and sneered, "What? Without the Moon Night Emperor, this Empress can't go on? " As she spoke, she smiled upward and circled around her. "That's true. Once the emperor is gone, the Yunyue Kingdom will soon face a change of dynasty. If you don't flee now, when will you?"

Xue Fu remained silent, his body trembling even more fiercely because of his worry. Could Yue Ye really not come back this time? Was the nation of Yunyue really going to face a change in dynasties? With so many rebels and so many ambitious wolves, who would be the next supreme ruler? No matter who it was, there didn't seem to be anything in the Imperial City that was worth her nostalgia!

She shouldn't have appeared! At the very least, he shouldn't have met Yue Ye. If it weren't for her, Yue Ye wouldn't have come to this step today. For the past three years, he had barely managed to stabilize his body. Because of a single woman, he had lost everything!

She didn't say anything, but the first wife was full of energy. She chuckled and said, "Seeing how you shared the same life with that dead mother of yours, it's never been a glorious or prosperous life. The empress's throne hasn't even heated up before she was forced to descend …"

The first wife's last words suddenly disappeared because of Xue Fu's glare, and the coldness in his black eyes … This caused her heart to suddenly miss a beat, causing her to jump in fright. He had never seen Xue Fu like this. After the first wife got over her shock, she thought to herself, that's all she could do, what could a weak girl like her do to him? The corners of her mouth curled up as she sneered again: "What? "You don't like it?"

Xue Fu suddenly jumped up from the ground, and with all his strength, he struck at the big lady's chest, the power of his palm was extremely intense, and used 50% of his power. The unsuspecting First Lady was sent flying by her slap. Her body hit the wall and bounced back. With a bang, she fell to the ground. Shocked cries mixed with blood gushed out from her mouth. All of the girls were scared stiff. None of them dared to help out.

The Grand Matriarch, who was in so much pain that she almost lost consciousness, stared at him in horror. Just like the rest of the girls, they couldn't understand where Xue Fu had gotten all that strength from. No one knew that Xue Fu had learnt some martial arts, so everyone was extremely shocked.

"Madam, I respect you as my elder, but you are unwilling to respect my mother as my third wife. Don't think that I, Bai Xue Fu, can't do anything to you just because I don't retaliate. Take care of yourself!" Bai Xue Fu coldly threw down those words. Her body flashed and instantly disappeared from the desolate courtyard under the eyes of the crowd, once again exclaiming in shock at everyone present.

"Madame, how are you?" Only then did the maidservants dare to step forward to help Madam Ye up from the ground.

The doctor was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He immediately felt as if his chest was on fire. The pain made her not even have the strength to stand. Then, her body went soft and she fainted under the cries of the girls.

When Xue Fu rushed out of the Bai Clan, tears once again filled her small face. The tears in her eyes overflowed, blurring her line of sight. Turning his head, his gaze stared through the tear mist at the magnificent Bai Clan. Was this her home? There was no place for her in this enormous manor. All the members of the Bai Clan had the same blood source, but none of them had any temperature.

After her mother passed away, Bai Yi was no longer suspicious. His only two relatives were gone, and there was nothing left in the Bai Clan that was worth her nostalgia. She even felt that the more she looked at the resplendent and dazzling White House, the more dazzling it felt.

Using the accessories he brought to exchange for a big black horse, Xue Fu went up to the horse and swung his whip hard, the black horse shot out like an arrow. A cloud of dust rose towards the north.

Ning City to her, was already an empty city. The only thing she was concerned about in her life was the Northern Kingdom, and it wouldn't be long before she would be on the battlefield! Regardless of the outcome of the battle, she still wished to see him, accompany him, and die together with him …

It was already the beginning of summer, yet the wind brought by speed cut at people like cold wind, causing them pain in their faces. The Ning City was a long distance away from the Northern Kingdom. Since she had never gone north before, she could only rely on her instincts to keep moving forward. The sound of hooves and clothes fluttered in the air. Her graceful figure shuttled through the streets and alleys, quickly leaving the city.

Yue Ye's troops were dispatched from other continents, and he left the city with only a squad of elite cavalry. Although the journey was a long one, they were still people who had gone to war before, so they would be much faster than her.

Xue Fu was afraid that by the time he arrived, he would already be a pile of bones, and there would be no place to find Yue Ye's figure. Thinking of this, she whipped the horse even more viciously. However, no matter how much she whipped the horse, it couldn't compare to the large horse that she rode on during the night of Yue Ye's ride. A horse personally ridden by the Emperor was naturally one of the best!

The horses galloped on, and the wide road, ashamed of itself, became a narrow, untraveled track. She stopped in front of a fork in the road. The green forest on both sides of the road rustled in the wind, stirring up her ink-like hair. Looking at the two paths in front of him, he didn't know which direction to take.

Xue Fu had no choice but to dismount from his horse, and started to carefully study the two paths that were paved with limestone. If it was a dirt road, Yue Ye's men would have just left it a few days ago, leaving behind a bunch of messy hoof prints. Unfortunately, even the heavens would not help her, and she was already lost in this place where there was no place for her to go.

In the end, she could only rely on her intuition. Fortunately, after walking for a short while, she saw that the bluestone slab had turned into a dirt road, and the hooves on the ground clearly told her that she had not taken the wrong way!

Yongcheng, this was a remote area of the State of Yunyue. The city could be considered peaceful and peaceful with no major accidents happening. Yue Ye and Duan Wang's army had agreed to meet here.

The military camp was located on the western side of the city at the foot of a hill. Yue Ye had sent an assistant general to collect grain, standing alone under a pine tree, looking up at the sky full of stars. This battle would be very difficult, with almost no chance of victory. He suddenly thought of Xue Fu, who was still inside the palace.

Standing high up in the sky, Yue Ye, who had been looking out into the starry sky, suddenly heard the rumbling sounds of a horse's hooves, and directed her gaze to that sound. Flames blazed past, extending the long path and quickly heading in his direction.

The next moment, he heard a soldier's report, "Prince Duan has arrived!"

As the cavalry approached, Prince Duan dismounted from his horse and approached Yue Ye, bowing respectfully, "This subject pays his respects to the Emperor!"

"Sixth Brother, you've worked hard. Please get up." Yue Ye swept a glance at the newly arrived soldiers who were busy handing over and setting up camp, and asked, "How are these soldiers and horses? Will we be able to enter the battlefield in three days? "

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. This subject has chosen people who are brave enough to fight. There will definitely be no problem." Duan Wang cupped his hands and said.

"That's good." Yue Ye waved her hand at him, saying, "Sit down and rest first."

King Duan shook his head. "This subject still needs to hurry back to the southern border. I'm afraid later, that bunch of dry people will start rebelling again." Since the Emperor had already personally come out, he couldn't let General Lin have the time to lower his guard and allow him to rebel.

The night wind blew, causing their clothes and hair to flutter in the wind. Waves of coldness seeped into the armor and seeped into his skin. The soft moonlight shone in the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses, illuminating the silver armor on their bodies with a majestic and awe-inspiring aura.

Just as Duan Wang was about to make a speech, the deputy general who was sent to collect military rations suddenly turned around and said anxiously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, King Duan, General Liu's men just sent two days ago to the Yongcheng area to collect the food. It is said that General Liu is very unyielding and forces every household to pay a certain amount. This was already causing trouble for the citizens, and their complaints towards the court did not stop.

"What a great General Liu!" Yue Ye let out a low roar of anger, tightly clenching her fists. Under the moonlight, anger filled her whole handsome face.

Duan Wang was also anxious as he turned to the vice general and said, "Let's go to the next town or city. We can't leave such a large army without good grass. Quickly go."

The deputy general helplessly said, "Reporting to Your Highness, this one has already asked around. The entire area has just been handed over, so it's impossible to hand it over." Of course, he knew that the grass was the root of the army, so he sent people to ask about it.

"If you go again, you must think of a way to gather the military provisions." After a few steps, Duan Wang suddenly called out to him, reminding him, "Remember, don't use hard work to kill others. Try not to use any force."

The deputy general nodded with a depressed expression. He thought that even if he used force, he might not be able to take even a single grain. Not using force was even more so … However, since the Emperor had given his life, he could only go with a thick scalp.
