Chapter 439: Trapped in a Cage
At night, the prison of the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital
Under the night sky, lightning and thunder thundered outside the prison.
In the cell, Ai Xue still did not return to her human form, she was locked in the iron prison and hissed, and suddenly she transformed into her original form.
Ai Xue was frightened in her heart, and hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Longji, Longji ......" reached out to pull the prison door, but there was a flash of lightning and was bounced away.
Ai Xue only felt a tingling pain in her hand, and was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the spell to look, but saw that the entire iron prison was rippling with mana, but it was sealed, and she was shocked, and hurriedly turned into a bright light and flew outside, but with a "zing" sound, she was bounced back and fell to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she was already injured by the enchantment.
Ai Xue was shocked, clutched her chest and stood up and said, "It's so powerful...... Longi, where are you, Longi......" shouted anxiously.
At this time, he saw the jade-faced fox walking in slowly, and said coldly, "When death is on the verge of death, there is still a useless struggle."
Ai Xue hurriedly said, "You, what are you...... Ah, I know, you are the one who arrested me in the palace, you are the national teacher, why did you arrest me? Let me go."
The jade-faced fox sneered, "Let you go? To put it mildly, you are a demon, wouldn't I let you go out and bring harm to the world?"
Ai Xue was startled and hurriedly said, "Demon? Am I a demon? I'm not a demon, you're a demon."
The jade-faced fox sneered, "Above the main hall, what everyone has witnessed, what else is there to quibble."
Ai Xue hurriedly said: "I, even if I am a demon, then I have not done anything bad, why did you arrest me, ah, I remember, you are the master of the pure void view, the king of the demon world, the jade-faced fox, you, you are the monster, the demon."
The jade-faced fox was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "The demon is talking nonsense, this seat is the national teacher of the Great Zhou Hall, the right way in the world, how can you slander it."
Ai Xue hurriedly said, "You are a demon, you can deceive the emperor, you can't deceive me."
The jade-faced fox was annoyed, and with a wave of dust, a white light hit Aixue, who fell to the ground with an "ah" and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The jade-faced fox said coldly: "Now you are a fish and a knife, this seat can kill you at any time, it is best to give me some acquaintance, and then sharpen your teeth and mouth, and carefully cut your tongue."
Aixue was shocked and said urgently, "You ......"
The jade-faced fox said coldly: "As long as the emperor gives an order tomorrow, this seat will send you back to the west, your time is running out, enjoy the last time." With a "ho" sound, he brushed his sleeves and turned away. :
Aixue was shocked and said urgently, "You stop, stop, let me out, let me out." I wanted to chase it out, but as soon as I grabbed the iron fence, I was bounced back and fell to the ground with a "zi" sound.
Ai Xue looked around and said anxiously, "Longji, where are you, Longji...... Come and save me, Longji ......" sat weakly on the ground, crying out in a hurry, very helpless......
In the evening, the capital Luoyang Xiangwangfu
Sister Xiu stood in the yard with Qingnu, Lux and Xiaoyu, and Sister Xiu looked at the lightning in the night sky, and was frightened for a while, wondering, "Okay, how can there be lightning......
The young girl said, "It's really strange, it's so late, why haven't they come back."
Lux said: "Today is the emperor's birthday, there must be a lot of programs, maybe you have to come back later."
Sister Xiu was worried, "But I ...... in my heart It always feels like something is going to happen."
Lux was puzzled: "No, what else will happen to the emperor's birthday banquet?"
The young girl wondered, "Are you too worried?"
Sister Xiu panicked, "I don't know, but I really ...... in my heart" and became more and more uneasy.
At night, the palace gate of the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital
The lightning danced in the night sky, the wind sounded, and the beauty stood at the palace gate, looking at the night sky for a while, and said urgently, "What should I do?"
On the one hand, King Heng'an and Mrs. Wu, Xiaozhi, and Fu Bo looked at the beauty, and then looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky, and the dark clouds rolling, and they were anxious for a while.
Mrs. Wu persuaded, "Look at this day, maybe it's going to rain, don't wait, let's go back quickly, ah?"
King Hengan advised, "Go back, and you will leave this matter alone."
The beauty hurriedly said, "It's been so long, and Longji hasn't come out yet...... Father, mother, go back first, I'll wait here."
King Hengan hurriedly said, "Beauty......
Everyone was anxious.
At night, the side hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital
Wu Zetian stood in the middle with his back on his back, Li Dan and his wife and Longji knelt below, Li Dan and his wife lowered their heads in horror, but Longji knelt like a lost soul, with tears streaming down his face, his face was frightened, and Gonggong Hong bowed down and stood aside.
Wu Zetian turned around, looked at the three of them, was annoyed, and said, "Dan'er, you go out first, I and Longji have something to say."
Li Dan was stunned for a moment, looked at Longji and hesitated, and helped the princess and said, "Madam, let's go out first."
The princess hurriedly said, "Your Majesty ......."
Wu Zetian said: "Longji is my imperial grandson, no matter how angry I am, I won't do anything to Longji."
The princess looked at Longji anxiously, and Li Dan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Emperor Xie, the ministers are retiring." Helping the princess to withdraw.
Wu Zetian watched the two go out, looked at the depressed Longji, felt pity, hesitated and helped Longji to get up and said, "Child, get up quickly."
Longji hurriedly said, "Imperial grandmother......
Wu Zetian said sadly: "How can I say hello, when you said that the national teacher was a demon, I was still half-convinced, and asked you to show evidence, but you couldn't get it, but now it's good, it turns out that Aixue is a demon, and in front of so many people...... Why are you just messing around with demons?"
Longji hurriedly said: "No, no, Imperial Grandmother, Longji beg, please let Aixue go, although she is a demon, she has never harmed anyone, not even a chicken, she is a good demon."
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, looked at Longji and nodded, "Okay, I believe you, I believe that what you said is true."
Longji was surprised, "Imperial Grandmother, do you really believe me?"
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "I have always believed in you, but I want to ask you, are you ...... You already knew she was a demon?"
Longji was stunned for a moment, hesitated and said helplessly, "Hmm."
Wu Zetian said: "When?"
Longji said: "Yes, it was when she was in Panlong Town, that time she was injured by those monsters in order to save me, and I knew that she was a demon."
Wu Zetian hurriedly said, "Since you know that she is a demon, why are you still with her? Don't you know that shemales have different paths, and that when they are together, they are not tolerated by the world, and they will be spurned by the world?"
Longji was taken aback and said hurriedly: "No, it's not the imperial grandmother, it's not like this, we really love each other, the imperial grandmother, you must believe us."
Wu Zetian said: "I believe in you, I believe that you really love each other, but what can you do if you love each other? Can lovers and demons be together? Can't violate the way of heaven? against all the world?"
Longji hurriedly said: "Imperial grandmother, Aixue is really pitiful, she has been alone since she was a child, I beg you to let her go."
Wu Zetian sighed and said, "You still don't understand? It's not that I won't let her go, it's that the entire court, and even everyone in the world, won't let her go, you know? If I let her go, I'll be against everyone, do you think it's okay?"
Longji was shocked and said hurriedly: "Imperial grandmother, Longji beg, please, I really can't live without Aixue, Imperial Grandmother." As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
Wu Zetian said distressedly: "I can feel the pain in your heart, but what can I do? If Aixue hadn't been exposed, I would have been able to do all this as if nothing had happened, and no one would have pursued it, but now, she has been exposed, and she has shown her true form in front of everyone and even so many messengers, even if I want to protect her, it is impossible, you know?"
Longji hurriedly said: "No, no, Imperial Grandmother, you are the emperor, you are the Ninety-Five, you can, you must be able to let Aixue go, as long as the imperial grandmother is willing to let Aixue go, what do you want Longji to do, Longji is willing, I only beg you, please let Aixue go."
Wu Zetian was puzzled: "If I let her go, you can really answer anything
Shall I be?"
Longji hurriedly said, "Well, as long as the imperial grandmother lets Aixue go, what she wants Longji to do, Longji is willing."
Wu Zetian thought for a while and nodded, "Okay...... I have a way to get the best of both worlds, and I can let Aixue go."
Longji was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Grandmother Emperor Xie, Grandmother Emperor Xie is complete."
Wu Zetian stopped and said, "Don't worry about Xie Zhen first, you can listen to what I want you to do first."
Longji wondered, "What does the Imperial Grandmother want Longji to do?"
Wu Zetian hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "I want you to promise three things."
Longji was surprised, "Three things?"
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "The first thing is that you have to divorce her, cut off relations with her from now on, and never see each other."
Longji was shocked, Wu Zetian saw Longji surprised, and persuaded: "If you insist on being with her and going against everyone, then I can't let her go, you have to think clearly yourself."
Longji felt a pain in his heart, and said bitterly, "If I don't agree, the imperial grandmother will kill her."
Wu Zetian said: "Yes, although I can't bear it, but for you, in order to block the mouth of Youyou, I have to do this, I have no choice."
Longji was in pain for a while, and said bitterly, "Okay, Longji agrees."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Okay, this second thing is that I want her to promise to stay away from the capital from now on, leave the mortal world, and never set foot in the mortal world, if I find her reappearing, I promise that I will never let her go a second time."
Longji said gloomily, "Longji has promised not to see her again, why does the imperial grandmother want her to leave the mortal world?"
Wu Zetian said: "She is a demon, this capital, the mortal world, is not the place where she should stay, she must leave, as long as she is still in the mortal world, I am not worried that she will not come to you again."
Longji hesitated, and said helplessly: "Okay, I promise, as long as the imperial grandmother lets Aixue go, I will agree to anything."
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Okay, then this third thing is to ask you to promise me to inherit my throne and be a good emperor who is diligent in serving the people and loved by all the people."
Longji was shocked and hurriedly said, "Imperial grandmother?"
Wu Zetian stopped and said, "You don't need to say much, in my eyes, only you, Li Longji, are the best heir to this Great Zhou Dynasty."
Longji hurriedly said, "Imperial grandmother, Longji is really, really can't......
Wu Zetian looked at Longji and said coldly, "Are you really going to kill her?"
LONGi was shocked.
At night, at the entrance of the main hall of the Luoyang Palace in the capital
Li Dan and his wife were waiting anxiously at the door, and the princess choked up sadly, "What's wrong with this? If you love snow, how can she be a demon?"
Li Dan persuaded: "Madam, don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."
At this time, he saw Wu Zetian walking out with Gonggong Hong, and Gonggong Hong turned around and closed the palace door and locked the lock.
The two were taken aback, and Li Dan hurriedly said, "Mother Emperor?"
Wu Zetian glanced at the two of them: "Don't worry, I just let him meditate in the palace for a while."
The princess was surprised, "Have you meditated?"
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "As for Aixue, you go back and call someone named Sister Xiu to come over, I have something to say to her."
The princess was surprised, "Sister Xiu?"
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Let her come over quickly, it's late, you can go back and rest." As he spoke, he turned around and left.
The princess hurriedly said, "Your Majesty ......" but was stopped by Gonggong Hong and persuaded, "Go back quickly, tell her to come over quickly, the princess of the county will be gone if it is late." After speaking, he turned around and followed Wu Zetian.
Li Dan and his wife were shocked, Li Dan hesitated and hurriedly said, "Let's go back quickly, let's go." Helping the princess to walk outside.
The princess was anxious for a while, turned to look at the locked palace door, and said hurriedly, "Longji ......"
