Chapter 245: The Secret of the Star Luo Emperor
The members of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family and a group of harem concubines were suddenly assassinated by a mysterious person overnight, and the entire palace was panicked and frightened. At the same time, the Star Luo Empire was also suddenly attacked tonight.
However, the way Luo Wang Hall assassinated the Star Luo Emperor was different from the Heaven Dou Empire Emperor, and they chose an obscure and direct way on their side.
Unlike the Snowy Night Emperor, who valued power and greedy for pleasure, the Star Luo Emperor, who was dedicated to advocating force, had extremely few concubines in his life. Except for the royal family's long-term marriage partner, the ghost cat Zhu family woman, the rest of the concubines are the daughters of high-ranking officials who are accepted to stabilize the imperial power.
At two o'clock (half past one in the morning), Emperor Xingluo did not sleep in the queen or the rest of the concubines' bedroom, but slept alone in a Qing hall in the deepest part of the harem, and he had always been like this, except for the routine of spending the night in each concubine's room, he never went to their room again.
The people in the entire palace were very puzzled why their emperor did not sleep in the queen or the rest of the concubines' bedroom, but preferred to stay alone in the deepest part of the harem, which was deserted, and even ordered that no one was allowed to set foot here, even the cleaning slaves and maids were not allowed to approach the deepest part of the harem for half a step.
There are even rumors that Emperor Xingluo raised a woman in the depths of this harem who does not want to be known, but Emperor Xingluo did not give any explanation for this. There are also some veteran-level officials who have admonished their emperor, but he still comes here after handling his daily affairs.
Over time, the people in the palace did not dwell on this matter much, after all, Emperor Xingluo also stayed in each concubine's room for one night and gave birth to several princes, and the rest of those who failed to conceive the emperor's heirs could only blame their bad luck.
……
Emperor Xingluo slowly walked to the harem, walked firmly along the path, passed a few small pavilions and then walked towards the deepest part, not long after, he came to a side room covered with dust, glanced slightly around behind him, and after making sure that no one was following, he raised his hand and took out a very strange key, and inserted a smooth door lock that looked unusually clean.
The whole action of unlocking, pushing the door, and entering the house was done in one go, without the slightest delay. When he closed the door, without even turning on the light, he continued to walk inside, all the way through three rooms, before finally stopping in front of a bookcase. Carefully pushing away the dusty books in the middle, he reached out and touched them, as if looking for something.
After a moment of fumbling, his majestic countenance, which had always been calm, suddenly changed.
"Anyone came in?"
Emperor Xingluo looked at the jade pendant in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, this jade pendant was taken out by him every day and then placed here, and he was extremely familiar with the slightest change here. But just now, he noticed that the position of this jade pendant seemed to be slightly deviated from its original position.
"Could it be that there have been so many things that have happened lately that I am in a trance?"
Emperor Xingluo frowned and thought, then turned around and walked out of this room, came to the second room he had just passed, and also walked to a bookcase and stopped. This time he took a very close look at the book before pushing it open.
But at this glance, his pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly took out a night pearl from the storage soul guide and looked at it carefully. At this glance, his heart shook violently.
"You can't be wrong, someone really got into this room!"
If those subtle changes before could be said to be a trance caused by his recent overwork, there would be no mistake this time, because the books on this shelf had obviously been turned over.
"But how is that possible? The key to enter the gate was made by my father himself, and I was the only one on the entire continent, how did the others get in? ”
Emperor Xingluo only felt that it was very incredible, the key to enter the gate was extremely special, except for the use of brute force to destroy, otherwise it was impossible to open this gate without a key.
I didn't have time to think about it, and I couldn't care about anything else, Emperor Xingluo hurriedly pushed away the books in the third compartment on the right side of the middle, took out the previous jade pendant and put it into a dent, when this jade pendant entered the dent, suddenly a faint white light emanated from it, and a slight tremor came, and the bookcase suddenly opened slowly from the middle to both sides, revealing a pitch-black passage without a trace of light source.
Emperor Xingluo glanced at this passage, holding the night pearl to illuminate the darkness ahead, and walked cautiously towards the passage, and when his figure fully entered this passage, the bookcase behind him slowly closed again.
At the moment when the bookcase was closed, a figure suddenly walked out of a shadow in the room, looking at the bookcase in front of him with an inexplicable expression.
"Hey! I didn't expect him to come back at this time! ”
The figure, whose figure could not be seen clearly, was silent for a moment, and then sighed slightly. After he learned that the Star Luo Emperor had this habit, he used his own exercises to ignore the outside door and sneak here, but he didn't expect that after entering here, he felt a faint trace of unknown energy in this room, and then after some investigation, he learned that the trace of energy came from this bookcase.
Driven by curiosity, he opened the books on the bookcase, and found the dent that looked like some kind of lock, and then he began to look for the key all over the room, but when he found the jade pendant that matched the size of the dent in the bookcase in the third room, he didn't expect that the Star Luo Emperor would come back early at this time, in order not to startle the snake, he quickly put the books that had been turned back to their original positions. But because he was not familiar with this place, he was finally discovered by the Star Luo Emperor.
As the third-ranked Tianzi-level killer of Luo Net, he was a powerful cultivator at level ninety-eight, so he was naturally able to surprise the Star Luo Emperor and kill him with one blow. But after he found out about the situation here, he began to hesitate in his heart, he wanted to find out what secrets were behind this bookcase, why Emperor Xingluo attached so much importance to this place, so he hesitated, but this time, he missed the best time to do it.
Because the Star Luo Emperor was already vigilant in his heart after he found out that someone had come in here, if he did it again, he would not be able to kill the other party with one blow, and he would definitely alarm the entire palace at that time, and at that time, if he wanted to leave the Star Luo Emperor with the head of the Star Luo Emperor, he would have to kill.
