I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1224 Girl, I have a personal question for you.

The roof tiles slipped off, and Qi Pei lost his balance, causing him to lose control of his body.

Qi Pei's body tilted to one side, and since the roof was sloping, she immediately slid down to the side as well.

broken!

Qi Pei immediately realized this.

As he stared wide-eyed at the suddenly appearing figure wearing a Nuo mask, his face showed astonishment. He tried to turn over and steady himself, but it was too late. Moreover, because he was caught off guard, the tinderbox in his other hand slipped from his grasp.

The tinderbox was about to fall on Qi Pei.

"See, I told you it was dangerous."

While Su Chang'an grabbed Qi Pei's wrist with one hand, he also grabbed the tinderbox with the other.

As he spoke, he tugged at Qi Pei, trying to steady her.

Unexpectedly, whether it was due to the moss on the roof tiles or because the few tiles that Qi Pei had just been holding and standing on had fallen, causing the roof tiles to become loose, it was unclear.

This pull caused Qi Pei to slip.

He should have stood firmly in front of Su Chang'an.

But right now, she was uncontrollably leaning forward into Su Chang'an's arms.

Seeing this, Su Chang'an thought, "This won't do!"
He immediately took a step back, then raised his hand and pressed his fingertips against Qi Pei's brow.

Seeing Qi Pei regain her balance, Su Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified; he had almost been hugged by the girl!

Qi Pei was startled by this sudden reaction, but as the leader of the "Catching Swordsmen" group, she couldn't possibly panic like this. She immediately looked up.

But only when he raised his eyes
By the faint light of the tinderbox, one could see that the person in front of him had a Nuo mask on his face, and also that he had withdrawn the hand that was pressed against his forehead.

Even in such dim light, Qi Pei felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the woman in front of him.

Or perhaps it's just too familiar!

Su Chang'an looked at Qi Pei: "Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Pei's expression froze.

Queen?

As Su Chang'an observed Qi Pei's expression, he noticed a small toy at Qi Pei's waist. How should I put it...
This doll, dressed in red with two swords hanging at its waist and a veil on its head, looks somewhat similar to the one I made for the Dragon Boat Festival before.

But it's much better than my own skills.

But that's the main point.

This doll looks familiar!

It looks very familiar!

Su Chang'an looked down at the doll, even leaning forward and bending over to get a closer look.

But Qi Pei was a little flustered. "Your Majesty... it's definitely the Empress."

But why is the Empress here?

wrong
Was I saved by the Empress again?
wrong!

I.
Ok?
Wait a minute, the Empress is watching.
Qi Pei looked down, thinking of the little doll hanging on his waist, and then saw the Empress looking down at it.

He immediately took a step back.

Su Chang'an looked up at Qi Pei: "Miss Qi, you..."

But Su Chang'an then turned his head to look at the other side of the roof.

Qi Pei only realized this at this moment, and immediately frowned, gripping the blade at his waist tightly.

On the rooftop, the two martial arts brothers who had been outside the Earl of Anshan's mansion were still there.

One person was standing, and the other was squatting.

The one squatting was the junior brother, with a long sword slung over his shoulder and a straw between his teeth. When he saw the two people in front of him looking at him and his senior brother, he couldn't help but smile: "Don't stop. They say that this is the time when feelings and flirting are most likely to happen. And look at that girl's shy look. I'm wondering what you two will do next."

The junior brother smirked: "Besides, this masked girl went through all that trouble. For an ordinary person to climb onto the roof, do you think it's dangerous?"

The senior brother, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, was not as frivolous as his junior brother: "Since you two are here so late at night, I won't say anything more. Hmm?"

But when he got to that point, the senior brother looked at Su Chang'an and stopped speaking abruptly, his expression showing surprise.

He then looked down at his junior brother!

But I don't know when.
My junior brother, who was perfectly fine just moments ago, now has a gruesome slash wound on his body and lies lying in a pool of blood. Hmm?
The senior brother paused for a moment, then inexplicably looked down at himself.

Similarly, it's unknown when.
Blood stained his long robe.

A hideous slash appeared on his own body.

As the senior brother took deep breaths, he looked up at the woman with the Nuo mask.
end.

boom!
The senior student leaned back and fell directly off the roof.

Qi Pei was stunned when he saw this.

Su Chang'an, however, looked at Qi Pei and asked, "Miss Qi, what about this doll?"

boom!
But he still only spoke at first.

However, inside the house in the courtyard, a person broke through the roof and jumped out, then stood in the courtyard, looking up at where Su Chang'an and Qi Pei were.

It was naturally the person who had just instructed his apprentice to do the work inside the house.

The middle-aged man spoke up: "Sir, now that you're here, don't bully the weak. Come into the courtyard."

As he spoke, the man placed his hand on the long stick at his waist: "Or, shall I, Qiu, go to the roof?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible aura emanated from the man's body.

Su Chang'an glanced at the man, pursed his lips, and then looked at Qi Pei: "Are you here to investigate the people in here?"

Although Qi Pei was somewhat flustered because of Su Chang'an, she immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, I suspect that many things were planned and done by people in the courtyard."

Su Chang'an nodded, but the next moment, he looked at Qi Pei with a strange expression: "How did you recognize me? Wasn't I wearing a mask?"

But after saying that, he didn't say anything more. He grabbed Qi Pei's wrist and said, "Never mind, it's not important. Let's go down first and talk about it later. I just wanted to ask you about this doll."

She then added, "There are a few other personal questions I've always wanted to ask, but haven't had the chance to."

Qi Pei's expression froze for a moment, the doll
There are also private, personal issues.

Qi Pei felt his heart racing, but before he could say anything to Su Chang'an, Su Chang'an had already pulled him down into the courtyard.

"Qiu Ran." Just as Su Chang'an and his companion landed in the courtyard, the middle-aged man clasped his hands in greeting to Su Chang'an: "May I ask how you are addressed?"

Su Chang'an looked at Qiu Ran: "Su Xinghe."

Qiu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly; it was a name he had never heard of.

"Qiu Ran, what are you waiting for? Kill these two!" Zhang Tao, a miscellaneous captain of the Imperial Guard, looked at Su Chang'an and Qi Pei and immediately spoke.

Qiu Ran did not speak, but as he took the long staff from his waist, more than a dozen figures appeared in the courtyard.

Shen Yuanhao smiled slightly at Su Chang'an, then glanced at the people around him. How stupid.

Qi Pei was very nervous; how could he not be nervous!
But it's not because of these people.

It was what the Empress had just told her.

But right now, Qi Pei was trying hard to control his emotions. He had already drawn his sword from his waist, turned around and stood back to back with Su Chang'an, looking at the murderous figures around him. "Zhang Tao of the Imperial Guard, Dian Cong of the Court of Judicial Review, Fan Junwen of the Ministry of Revenue, Fang Qing who used to be from the Bureau of Ceremonies and is now in the Ministry of Rites, and Shen Yuanhao of the Court of Imperial Guards, these people should be the ones who have been spreading so many rumors in the capital over the past month."

As soon as Qi Pei finished speaking, the official from the Dali Temple stared intently at Qi Pei: "He must be killed! That's Qi Pei, the leader of the Zhuodaolang. We've definitely been targeted."

Upon hearing this, the others looked grave.

Fan Junwen clenched his fists: "Just like that old bastard Yang Shanchang, the Qi family betrayed their own people!"

Zhang Tao drew his knife from his waist, glaring menacingly at Su Chang'an and Qi Pei. "Enough with the nonsense, let's get started!"

Qiu Ran ignored Zhang Tao, and with a twist of his long staff, a spearhead popped out from one end of the staff with a bang. He looked at Su Chang'an and said, "You and I are both at the limit of our abilities. If we were to fight, it would be too much of a commotion. So I won't stand on ceremony with you. After all, if we attract that freak Yan Yunxiao, it will be very troublesome."

Su Chang'an looked at Qiu Ran
No, it's less about looking at Qiu Ran and more about looking at the spear in Qiu Ran's hand.

This saves money!

boom!
Qiu Ran didn't say anything more and suddenly rushed towards Su Chang'an's location.

And in the instant he charged out, the spear in his hand flew out of his grasp and suddenly transformed into a lightning arc, rushing towards Su Chang'an.

Although Qi Pei couldn't see clearly, he knew that Qiu Ran had made a move.

It can be seen that the Empress remained unmoved.

His mind went blank; he forgot the Empress's power, he forgot everything, and simply turned around habitually to stand in front of Su Chang'an.
