Chapter 198: Emperor
"Ming Shiyin, you'd better not let me catch you." Sima Yi's face was cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He turned around and took a step back, and his figure disappeared into the bamboo shadow, and the next second it dissipated without a trace. It's amazing.
Ming Shiyin frowned, this is a big trouble.
He was ordered by the Demon Lord to come to Chang'an, waiting for an opportunity to steal the power of the Cloud Breaking Palace. He has always hidden his selfishness and wants to resurrect Lu Qingli. Now Sima Yi's appearance made him a little uneasy. You must know that his fate contract is in the hands of the Demon Lord, and if the Demon Lord knows his selfishness, it will be dangerous.
On the other side, Changle Fang.
Li Xin stayed in the guest room in Changle Fang, he pushed open the window, and faintly saw a majestic hall, and there was a strange pink-purple cloud above the hall door.
He stared at the hall and fell into deep thought. When he left Chang'an before, he didn't have this hall, what was in that hall?
In the room on the other floor, King Lanling leaned against the door with a solemn face. When Fang Cai Yixing took Li Xin and Jia Luo into Changle Fang, he woke him up. He then opened the door and peeked out. The blonde-haired Li Xin caught his eye. The man who once walked outside the Great Wall, what did he come here for? What a purpose!
What made King Lanling even more puzzled was why Li Xin had a special aura on his body, and that feeling always reminded him of his homeland, Jinting City. King Lanling thought about it, only to feel a faint pain in the hole in his chest, he reached out to cover his chest tightly, and frowned.
No, Li Xinlai is not good, he has to tell Mulan tomorrow.
Chang'an, the Emperor's Palace.
In the early morning, the sun is hidden in the clouds. A faint golden light shines through the white and clear clouds, like a fried poached egg.
Di Renjie stood outside the palace gate, and the guards seemed to be Di Renjie, so they gave way one after another, not daring to stop him.
Di Renjie walked slowly towards the palace gate, and the neat stone bricks were spotless. The early eunuch Gong'e was conscientiously sweeping the ground, sweeping the stone bricks before dawn. Lest it be dirty, the empress was unhappy when she saw it in the early dynasty, and she was inevitably punished.
Those palace eunuchs lowered their heads when they saw Di Renjie and sped up the speed of cleaning. The eunuch in charge, after seeing Di Renjie, immediately came up attentively and led the way for Di Renjie.
Di Renjie looked at the scene in front of him, which was no different from the past. It seems that the battle of Chang'an City and the death of Jinyiwei did not affect the daily operation of the emperor's harem.
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
In the Emperor's Harem, in the Yuyun study, Wu Zetian was wearing a luxurious long dress.
The gold thread of her snow-white blouse is embroidered with a peony, and the long skirt is embroidered with four groups of golden phoenixes, which are lifelike and luxurious. Outside, she wore a phoenix cloak embroidered with gold on a black background, showing her noble status.
Unlike yesterday's embarrassment, her long hair is neatly coiled today.
On the long black hair, there are six hairpins that are bronzed and burned blue.
When I walked, the pearls on the hairpin swayed like water droplets, and they looked good in a flash.
With such a luxurious outfit, coupled with Wu Zetian's charming face, he is worthy of the four words "Alluring the country".
Her beauty shone all around, and it seemed that the study was much brighter because of it.
But Wu Zetian was not happy, she frowned, Li Xin did not die for a day, and she was uneasy for a day.
If you want to sit on the throne, you can only kill the heir of the Li family cleanly. She suddenly had an idea, wanting to kill all the descendants surnamed Li in Chang'an, including Li Xin, so that she could sit back and relax.
"Tell Your Majesty, Lord Di asks to see you." A little eunuch walked into the door of the temple and whispered a message.
"Xuan!" Wu Zetian waved his sleeves and smiled at the corner of his mouth. She walked briskly to the chair in the middle of the study and sat down. The stool made of gold is embroidered with a dragon and a phoenix, highlighting the noble status of the owner.
Wu Zetian was happy in his heart, Di Renjie came just in time, she was just in time to ask Li Xin about his life and death.
"See Your Majesty." When Di Renjie entered the door, he saluted the empress. The empress smiled and raised her hand to signal that she would not be courteous. At the same time, he waved his hand to the people in the room, signaling them all to retreat.
After all, the matter she discussed with Di Renjie was confidential and could not be known by other idlers, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents.
Wu Zetian watched all the subordinates leave the study, and after closing the door, he got up and walked towards Di Renjie.
"Di Qing, did you come to me to tell me?" A hint of calculation flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and she couldn't wait to know the follow-up to yesterday's incident.
"Your Majesty guessed correctly, the minister wants to ask about the Dongfeng Altar." Di Renjie said straight to the point, without any twists.
When Wu Zetian heard this, his face changed slightly, and his expression became unnatural. Her eyes rolled slightly, and she decided to avoid this conversation first, and pressed it down.
"Let's talk about yesterday's battle first, right? What happened to the traitor Li Xin? Wu Zetian had a curious and puzzled look on his face.
"The minister let him escape." Di Renjie replied bluntly. Yesterday, he was in a hurry to escape from the camp, but he was simply rescued by Su Lie, and only then did he escape with his life.
"Escaped? This shouldn't be, with Di Qing's ability, Li Xin will definitely not be able to run, could it be..."Wu Zetian had something to say, and glanced at Di Renjie suspiciously. She guessed what Li Xin and Di Renjie said, and Di Renjie raised his hand and secretly let Li Xin run away?
"Your Majesty, the situation was urgent last night, and a very human force can fight it! Besides..."Di Renjie paused when he said this, and his mood was very sad and complicated.
"Besides, the minister couldn't leave in the first place, because General Su sacrificed his life to save him, and the minister survived, but General Su was..."
"What's wrong with Su Lie?" Wu Zetian frowned and asked.
"General Su died to save his minister, and the minister was heartbroken by this." Di Renjie's fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were faintly red, and the sadness in his heart was obvious.
"What's so sad about this? Isn't it just right that Su Lie, a traitor, died? I don't have to go back and clean him up! Wu Zetian said indifferently, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the smile was visible. It seems that Su Lie's death is good news for her.
"Your Majesty, things are not as you think. General Su Lie has reformed himself! If the minister heard correctly, General Su should have helped Your Majesty break out of the encirclement last night! Di Renjie was very stunned by the empress's indifferent attitude.
"Yes, he helped me break out of the encirclement. But so what? Does that change the fact that he's a traitor?! No! Wu Zetian frowned and said angrily.
