Chapter 520: Chapter 519: In Three Months, I Will Definitely Return

"Your Majesty, is this... a secret mission?" Long Ziyue looked at the Imperial Decree in her hand, her face full of confusion.

This was the first Imperial Decree issued by Chu Qianli after ascending to the throne.

Of course, it was also the first one Long Ziyue had received since their friendship had undergone this transformation.

All of a sudden, she felt a bit strange, should she open it herself and look?

Or should she wait for Her Majesty to command her to open it before looking?

And, the person in front of her now, was she the Empress, or was she Ali?

Um... She suddenly felt like she couldn’t quite adjust.

"What are you staring blankly for, not even looking at the Imperial Decree I gave you?" Chu Qianli was packing something and had only glanced at her briefly before getting back to her business.

"Your Majesty..."

"I’m Ali right now." So, there’s no need to be so formal.

Why so tense and serious?

Long Ziyue let out a sigh of relief, that was better.

She immediately opened the Imperial Decree.

But once she looked, she was stunned.

"You want me to act as Prince Ziyue, and Wei Xian as Prince Regent, and have us handle national affairs temporarily on your behalf?"

"Shh?" Chu Qianli’s long finger pressed to her lips, signalling her to silence with a gesture.

"Don’t be so loud. If General Wei hears us, I won’t be able to get away."

"You’re leaving?" Now, it wasn’t just surprise but shock!

Long Ziyue almost screamed aloud.

Chu Qianli immediately picked up something and threw it at her: "I told you not to be loud, and you’re about to scream! Do you want to ruin my plan?"

"Ali!" Long Ziyue knew she shouldn’t scream, but she couldn’t help it!

She quickly approached Chu Qianli only to realize that she was packing things she intended to take with her.

Gold, silver, and jewels!

This girl was planning to run away with treasures!

Though for her, the Empress, this amount of treasure didn’t amount to much, the Empress in the Imperial Palace didn’t need to use money.

She was definitely planning to escape!

"Ali, you... where are you going to..."

"I’ve said I would go to Beiming to find Yexuan." Chu Qianli blinked at her, "Now he’s still in Yitie City, and I want to go there to support him."

"He doesn’t need your help at all! He is the War God, Yexuan!"

Long Ziyue’s face was full of resentment: "But here, we truly need you!"

The kingdom has just been seized, and everything is still unstable, yet she, the Empress, wants to run away, truly irresponsible!

"Ziyue, I’m so tired." Chu Qianli blinked at her again, looking innocent.

"I’ve been tired for two lifetimes."

Long Ziyue was speechless, not wanting to argue with her on such nonsensical reasoning.

Two lifetimes! Could she possibly be someone who had reincarnated?

Of course, Chu Qianli didn’t plan to explain, but her claim of being tired for two lifetimes wasn’t just said casually.

Indeed, tired for two lifetimes.

"I have never been willful." So this time, she wanted to be willful just once.

"Ziyue, I want to live thoroughly for myself once, to do what I want to do, go where I want to go."

"Even if it’s just for three months. Once I do what I want to do, I will definitely come back to take on this responsibility."

Long Ziyue looked at her and, for a moment, didn’t know what to say.

She was too young, just sixteen years old, and even she was two years older than her.

But the responsibilities on her shoulders were truly too vast, too heavy.

In the past, Long Ziyue thought that all this was only natural since she was the daughter of Long Xiyue.

Yet now, when Chu Qianli spoke earnestly about wanting to live for herself for once, Long Ziyue suddenly realized that she, indeed, was still a young girl.

Even she herself longed to cast everything aside and live the life she wished for.

Who wouldn’t have such aspirations?

"But after all, you are Her Majesty the Empress."

It was an identity that Chu Qianli could never shed in this lifetime.

"Ali, three months, I can only give you three months. If after three months, you’re still out there, too happy to return, I will send out the Royal Army to fetch you back."

By then, the face of Her Majesty the Empress would not look so good.

"I’ll listen to you, I’ll listen to everything you say!"

Excited joy immediately welled up in Chu Qianli’s eyes.

"This Jade Seal, I entrust to you, you..."

"No, keep the Jade Seal. I believe General Wei and I can keep those below us in line without needing the Jade Seal."

Long Ziyue gave her a look that held some resentment, but also some envy.

But she still spoke seriously, "Only three months are allowed! After three months, you must hurry back to take charge, so I can go on a holiday and rest!"

After that, it was certainly going to be more than just a three-month affair.

She wanted to wander the mountains and rivers, to live the life she desired, to indulge in food, drink, and amusement!

Who likes all the messy affairs of the court!

"Agreed! It’s a deal!"

Chu Qianli extended her little finger, "Let’s make a pinky promise, Ziyue, three months, I will definitely come back!"

...In the end, the Jade Seal was still placed back into Chu Qianli’s Universe Chain.

Probably only in that place, was it safest.

Now that they had just seized control of Jiangshan, things were still unstable. The Jade Seal, this thing, must be kept safe.

"General Wei will definitely be fuming tomorrow morning when he sees the Imperial Decree. You’ll have to bear with it a bit more."

As she was about to leave, Chu Qianli kept giving last-minute reminders.

Long Ziyue rolled her eyes at her, "You’re aware of that!"

"I’m just reminding you, in case you can’t handle it emotionally that well."

Chu Qianli patted her on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, with Fu Long here to guard and assist you, you two, a man and a woman working together, won’t get tired. You can definitely handle everything well!"

Long Ziyue now even lacked the urge to roll her eyes at her.

Did she know that Fu Long had decided to stay?

Maybe the moment she leaves, Fu Long will follow right behind her.

Fu Long’s thoughts towards this sassy girl might be unknown to Chu Qianli herself, but Long Ziyue could see it all very clearly.

"Alright, look, I didn’t even bring Fu Long and Fu Ning with me. They can both help you, so don’t be mad, okay?"

Chu Qianli, already dressed as a maid, saw it was getting late and hurriedly pulled Long Ziyue out.

"Quick, help me leave the Imperial Palace, hurry up, just say you have an errand to run."

Without someone to lead the way, although she could still sneak out on her own, it would be troublesome!

With Long Ziyue taking her through the gates, it was much easier.

Long Ziyue felt helpless, but since Chu Qianli had decided to go, she believed she could get through those three months.

"Three months, remember to come back!" After successfully leading Chu Qianli out of the palace’s back gate, Long Ziyue reminded her.

"I know, I know, in three months, I will definitely come back."

Chu Qianli leaped onto the horse, flashed a smile at her, then kicked the horse’s sides and galloped away.

But she could never have dreamed that just out of the city, she would encounter a person she could never have anticipated!
