724 Tearing the Old Papers and Returning to the Capital (2/2)

Ning Que said calmly, ”Then he better die of anger quickly, that way he won't feel bad anymore.”

There was a commotion.

The officials were furious and stood up, holding the old chancellor who looked as if he was about to fall. They yelled angrily and refused to let the Queen's carriage pass.

Ning Que's hand landed on his hilt.

The Empress suddenly said, ”I will rest in the inn for a day.”

Ning Que understood and said, ”Then I will enter Chang'an first.”

He got on the horse and prepared to leave.

The court may use any method to stop the return of the Empress. But no one, and no means would be able to stop him.

The old ministers saw that they could do nothing else. They stood by the path and yelled at Ning Que for being heartless and cruel, and that he was not looking at the big picture.

Ning Que pulled on the reins and stopped his horse. Then, he turned around to look at the old ministers and said, ”The world has yet to see my cruelty. Take care of yourselves, you'll see for it yourself in the future.”

The West-Hill Divine Palace army had already reached the Verdant Canyon.

Master Qi Mei had already arrived at the western army's marshal camp.

The Golden Palace cavalry continued southwards.

The Tang Empire's eastern border was about to be razed to the ground.

Just as the wind and rain brewed.

Ning Que carried his podao on his back and held a wooden box in his hand.

He entered Chang'an, which was enveloped in the sunset.

The imperial study of the palace was a place that Ning Que was most familiar with.

He looked at the paperweight on the desk and realized that several scratches had appeared on them. When he placed the wooden box on the desk, he tapped on it and said, ”Your Majesty, we are back.”

In this room, he saw the ”The Flower Blooms on the Shore Astride” calligraphy written by His Majesty and so he had written, ”The Fish That Jumped Across The Sea”. From that moment on, he entered a close relationship with the palace.

Chang'an was the God-stunning Array.

This big tactical array was handed over to him by Master Yan Se, but was actually also His Majesty's intention. It was of vital importance to the safety of the country, so of course, it was up to the monarch of a country to make the final decision.

In other words, His Majesty had already entrusted Chang'an, and the Tang Empire to him a long time ago.

Ning Que had been growing all these years, but he was still a distance away from being able to bear such a responsibility.

He thought that he still had time but had never expected the Headmaster to die and His Majesty to suddenly leave the world. As such, the responsibility had landed on his shoulders before time.

The door of the study was pushed open.

Li Yu entered, looking a little haggard.

She looked at the wooden box on the desk and slowly knelt.

Ning Que stood at a side and watched her silently.

After some time, Li Yu stood up with slightly red eyes, and seemed even more haggard and tired.

Ning Que said, ”If His Majesty were still alive, he would be very disappointed in you.”

Li Yu smiled mournfully, and said, ”What about you? Are you also very disappointed?”
