"Get things from Queen Xiao?" Li Xiu was puzzled when he heard this, and then asked again, "Uncle Ma, what exactly are you talking about? How could I get things from Queen Xiao?"

Li Xiu did not know what Ma Master was asking, and he even felt a little confused, but seeing Ma Master looked like a joke, which made Li Xiu dare not ignore it.

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't understand, Ma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. This matter had to be kept strictly confidential, and he had been hiding it from Li Xiu before. If it weren't for this matter, Li Xiu would have suspected it, I'm afraid he would never let him know. In fact, he wanted to ask Li Xiu about this matter long ago, but he had been hesitating because he believed that Li Xiu would not hide that thing privately, but as time went by, they were about to return to Dingxiang, so they finally couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Ma, what exactly makes you so nervous?" Seeing that Ma Ma didn't say anything, Li Xiu couldn't help asking again. It was just a thing, which actually made Ma Ma act so harsh for the first time, which made him even more curious.

Seeing that Li Xiu wanted to know about this, Ma Master hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "This matter was personally treated to me by Your Majesty before I came. It was not something that you should have known about, but now this thing has never been found. I am very anxious about this. It's nothing to let you know now."

"Your Majesty treats you personally?" Li Xiu was even more curious when he heard Ma Master's words. After all, there were not many things that could make Li Shimin think about, and he didn't even know about it in advance, which shows the importance of this thing.

"Yes, this thing is actually very famous, that is, the imperial seal!" When Ma Ye said the last four words, his expression on his face became more serious.

"It turned out to be it. No wonder Your Majesty would specifically tell Uncle Ma, but didn't this thing disappear during the Jiangdu Rebellion? Does Your Majesty suspect that Empress Xiao took away the jade seal?" When Li Xiu heard the name "The Jade Seal of the Kingdom", he couldn't help but show an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then he understood what Ma Master had just asked him.

The Bian Xianhe Bi of Chu was later engraved into an emperor's seal by Qin Shihuang. The eight words "Accepted by heaven, and will live forever" at the bottom. Then this emperor's seal became a symbol of imperial power and was controlled by emperors of all dynasties. Li Xiu didn't know much about the history of the imperial seal, but only knew that this jade seal had disappeared in later generations and no one had seen it. After he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he heard that the imperial seal was in the hands of Yang Guang, but later disappeared during the Jiangdu Rebellion. There were many different opinions about its whereabouts, but now it seems that Li Shimin should suspect that the jade seal was in the hands of Empress Xiao.

"Yes, the imperial seal disappeared in the Jiangdu Rebellion. Your Majesty suspected that Empress Xiao brought the jade seal to the grassland. Looking for the imperial seal was one of my purposes for coming to the grassland, but I hadn't been able to find it before." Mr. Ma nodded and said.

"Since you suspect that the imperial seal is in Queen Xiao, can you just ask her directly?" Li Xiu asked in confusion at this time. After all, Queen Xiao has fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and she has set out to Chang'an before. In this case, it is not easy for Mr. Ma to want a jade seal?

"Oh, don't mention Queen Xiao. I always feel that I'm cunning enough, but I didn't expect that Queen Xiao is even more cunning. I've asked her about the imperial seal before, but every time she talks about it, she is the one that His Majesty calls for, and I dare not use force. But later I found out some news from Yang Zhengdao. According to him, Queen Xiao always carried a box next to her and never left her. Once he accidentally saw Queen Xiao open the box, and there was indeed a large seal inside, which was probably the imperial seal." When talking about Queen Xiao, Ma Ye was also angrily slapped his thigh.

"Since you know that the imperial seal is with Queen Xiao, with your ability, even if Queen Xiao is unwilling to hand it over, you may be able to take it out easily. After all, they are orphans and widows, and there are no one around them. It is too easy to get things from them!" Li Xiu asked again.

"It would be easy to deal with if it was so simple. I secretly asked someone to search all the luggage that Queen Xiao and the others brought, but this old lady didn't know where to hide the imperial seal?" Ma Ye said in a very frustration. He not only searched the things that Queen Xiao carried, but also searched the other party's place where the jade seal might be hidden, but he didn't find anything. He thought he had experienced all kinds of storms in his life, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of an old lady.

"No wonder Uncle Ma, you suspected that you had found all the jade seals that might be there but couldn't find them. So I suspect that Empress Xiao gave the jade seal to someone to keep?" Li Xiu said at the end, and he couldn't help but give Ma Master a blank look. It was probably that Ma Master was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and in the end he was suspicious.

"Don't blame me, the imperial seal has a great relationship, and this thing has always been urgently connected to the imperial power. Ordinary people will only cause great disasters. Only Your Majesty can own this imperial seal in the world." Ma Ye explained immediately. In fact, he believed that Li Xiu would not hide the jade seal privately, but was worried that Li Xiu would accept Queen Xiao's gift without knowing it. If there was something hidden inside, Li Xiu would not be able to explain in the future. Of course, the possibility of such a thing is very small, but Queen Xiao can definitely do it.

"I really don't know about the imperial seal, and I have never taken any gifts from Empress Xiao, but I feel a little strange. If Empress Xiao really had the imperial seal, it would be useless to hide it now. I might also give it some benefits for their orphans and widows?" Li Xiu said at the end, and he showed a puzzled expression again. He didn't know much about Empress Xiao's personality and had only met once before, so he really couldn't guess what she was thinking.

"I couldn't understand it before, but later I slowly guessed her thoughts. Speaking of which, she was so displaced in the second half of her life, it was really pitiful. It was precisely because of this reason that she developed a cautious and cautious personality and did not trust anyone. The reason why she hid the jade seal was probably to add a layer of insurance to herself and prevent His Majesty from turning against others. She killed their family when she returned to Chang'an." Ma Ye said angrily at this time. Although he knew that Queen Xiao's worries were unnecessary, he could not let Queen Xiao change his mind.

"This is understandable. After all, her experience is too bumpy, and it is not surprising that she will leave a way out for herself everywhere. However, Your Majesty has no intention of treating Queen Xiao and the others anyway. When they return to Chang'an, they will naturally present the jade seal!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard Ma Ye's analysis.

"That's different. Your Majesty asked me to find the whereabouts of the jade seal. Now it can't be found. It's our dereliction of duty. Even if Empress Xiao offers it in the future, we still have to bear the blame!" Ma Ye said helplessly at this time. Perhaps for Li Shimin, no matter who presents the imperial jade seal, it will be the same, but this is absolutely different for Ma Ye and the Feinusi.

Li Xiu could understand Ma Ye’s difficulties when he heard this, but he couldn’t help with this matter. In the end, he could only comfort Ma Ye for a few words, and then said goodbye. After all, it was already dark at this time, and he was also worried that Yuechan would be afraid of staying in the tent alone.

After resting for a night, Li Xiu and the others continued to rush on the next day, and finally arrived at Qin Qiong and their camp in the evening. Although the camp expanded outward, the number of people squeezed in several times was still very crowded in the end. Fortunately, they didn't have to live here for too long. After a few days, the people who were riding a hot air balloon in front of them finally found the people digging the road in Dingxiang. Both sides finally successfully opened the road through the hot air balloon positioning.

As soon as the road was opened, the people of the army immediately calmed down. Then Li Jing gave the order and all the troops set off immediately. After five days of trekking, Li Xiu and the others finally arrived in Dingxiang safely. But what Li Xiu did not expect was that Changsun Wuji was actually here. When he saw Li Xiu, he also happily stepped forward to greet him, and at the same time expressed Li Shimin's concerns about him, Tang Jian and others.

Under Dingxiang City, Li Jing's army could not accommodate 100,000 troops. In the end, nearly half of the army could only live outside the city. In addition, the food in the army had been eaten up, so the first thing he did when he returned to Dingxiang was to eat. Changsun Wuji had already mobilized a batch of food and grass. When the army arrived, he immediately started cooking for the army. However, there was not much meat at this meal. Mainly because Li Xiu and the others were hungry for a long time, their stomachs were relatively weak. If they had eaten too much meat that was difficult to digest at this time, it would be very likely that they would be indigested like Yuechan, and it would not be impossible to eat it to death.

For Li Xiu and the others, what they eat now is actually not important. What is important is to eat fullness. Li Xiu drank two big bowls of rice porridge in one meal, but he wanted to drink it again but was stopped by Yue Chan. After all, eating too much is not a good thing for them. After eating fullness, safety was also guaranteed. Li Xiu immediately felt sleepy. It happened that it was getting late at that time, so Li Xiu and Yue Chan also fell asleep early. Only when the next day did he feel much better.

Yuechan was even happier about returning to Dingxiang because she could cook for Li Xiu again. So before Li Xiu woke up, she got up early and then made a few dishes that Li Xiu liked to eat. The two meat and two vegetables were properly matched. Li Xiu almost got up with the smell, and then pulled Yuechan to have a meal together.

After breakfast, Li Xiu was about to see Changsun Wuji. After all, he had to discuss some things with the other party, such as dealing with the remaining Turks and dealing with Xue Yantuo's challenge, etc., but at this moment, Zhao Deyan suddenly came to visit and immediately spoke when he saw Li Xiu: "Mr. Concubine, can you please go to the same place with me?"
