Volume 2, Chapter 4 [A Trace of Truth]

A miserable scream came from Concubine Li's mouth, and her magic hairpin was hit by a divine thunderbolt from Wang Rui, and she was immediately covered in smoke, paralyzed in the water, and was stretched out by Concubine Hua's arm and directly held it in her hand.

This change frightened Concubine Li's group of ghosts and ghosts to flee in a hurry, and they all burrowed into the stone gate, never daring to come out again.

Wang Rui saw Concubine Hua's murderous intent, and immediately shouted, "Stop, don't touch her."

Concubine Hua and her entourage suddenly looked at each other, looking at Wang Rui puzzled, thinking that he was on his side, but what is the situation now?

"What do you mean?" Concubine Hua didn't let go, and one hand was still pinching Concubine Li's neck, so that she couldn't move.

However, the ghosts around Concubine Hua didn't dare to offend Wang Rui, they understood that the young Taoist in front of them was too strong and was not his opponent at all.

Wang Rui came to Concubine Hua and said, "Concubine Hua, it is about the safety of Princess Qinglan and the palace, I have something to ask her."

"This ......" Concubine Hua groaned, and finally agreed, she also knew that she was not Wang Rui's opponent. Concubine Li's strength is stronger than her, but she was defeated by Wang Rui in one shot, and the gap is too big.

Wang Rui saw that Concubine Li seemed to have been hit by the power of the backlash, and it should be that her natal magic weapon was hit by her own thunder light finger and suffered huge damage, so she devoured her body and was seriously injured.

It's a pity that Wang Rui can't heal Concubine Li, the ghost cultivates evil qi, death qi and yin qi, and he belongs to a pure yang cultivator, which is incompatible with it at all.

"Concubine Hua, can you heal her first?" Wang Rui looked at Concubine Hua.

The ghosts whispered, and Concubine Hua's face changed for a while, but she finally agreed, stretched out a palm against the nest of Concubine Li's vest, and entered her own evil breath.

A quarter of an hour later, Concubine Li's face improved significantly and she woke up.

"You...... You guys...... Who are you? Did the ruthless man or the old witch send you?" Concubine Li looked very uneasy in the face of Wang Rui and Concubine Hua's alliance, but she didn't dare to resist, not to mention that she was injured now, even if she was not injured, she couldn't escape.

Wang Rui roughly understood what she meant, the man in her mouth was referring to the current Son of Heaven of the Zhou Kingdom, if the old witch guessed correctly, it should be the current queen.

"Concubine Li, I am a disciple of the Heavenly Sect of Xianmen Xu, and I was ordered to come to accept the commission of today's son to protect Princess Qinglan. Let me ask you, a few days ago, the princess accidentally fell into the water, but you instructed you?" Wang Rui asked bluntly.

Concubine Li looked stunned for a moment, then looked at Concubine Hua, who was gritting her teeth, and laughed, "What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime? You think it's me, what else can I say?"

"Sophistry, you've always been like this, and you die unrepentant." Hua Fei criticized harshly.

Concubine Li was not ambiguous, and sneered at each other: "You are stubborn and self-righteous, but you don't know that this big inner palace is not a habitat for people like you at all."

"So not you?" Although Wang Rui doesn't know Concubine Li, she doesn't need to lie in front of her, this woman seems to know the game of the harem better than Concubine Hua.

Concubine Li replied coldly, "I'm going to kill Qinglan, I've already done it, why wait until today?"

"Who's that? You say!" Concubine Hua asked.

Concubine Li snorted, turned her head and ignored it, so angry that Concubine Hua wanted to strangle her immediately.

Wang Rui stopped again and said, "Concubine Li, Concubine Hua, and all of you who unfortunately died in vain, if you can help me find out the truth about the attack on the princess, I can promise you to help you get out of this place and re-enter reincarnation."

"Really?"

"Don't lie to us......

"I'm willing...... I'm willing to ......."

Wang Rui's promise suddenly surprised a group of ghosts, they could not escape, they could only linger at the bottom of this cold lake for a long time, year after year, day after day, and then wait until a certain day, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they simply floated to the surface and were purified by the sun, but unfortunately, in that case, they would never be able to be reborn.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Li suddenly ignited a sense of hope, although their bodies were dead, their souls were not damaged, and they could still enter the path of reincarnation, but unfortunately there was no one to help them, and they gradually became desperate and obedient.

"Are you a disciple of the Xutian Sect?" Concubine Li asked.

Wang Rui nodded, and then heard Concubine Li say, "Didn't the Son of Heaven tell you anything else?"

"No, what does Concubine Liniang mean?" Wang Rui asked curiously.

Concubine Li hesitated and said, "This palace heard the Son of Heaven mention that when the emperor was alive, he also sent a request to the Xutian Sect, and at that time he said that there were evil people in this palace. However, the companions who came at that time did not pay attention, but only stayed in a hurry for a few days, and then left after searching everywhere to no avail."

"Evil?" Wang Rui suddenly felt that this mission was really not simple, but he didn't expect that an ordinary guard mission would trigger some secrets.

Concubine Hua also added at this time: "I have also heard the Son of Heaven mention this matter, it is said that there were many mysterious disappearances in the palace at that time, and they were all young and beautiful concubines and palace maids, but the inner servants were unharmed. After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he had secretly investigated, and it turned out that he had really found the corpses of several missing concubines and palace maids, no, strictly speaking, it was not the time, but a skin, a real skin."

Wang Rui's eyes jumped, and he suddenly thought of the situation where the hollowed out skin was hung on the shelf, could it be that there is really evil in this palace, no, or is it an evil cultivator?

"So on the day the palace fell into the lake, what did the two ladies find?" Wang Rui asked.

"When you say this, this palace has heard one thing from the little maid Ah Wen under the door, she was wandering around, and overheard the conversation of the people in the Huxin Pavilion, and when it came to Qinglan, it seemed that someone in the pavilion said that she was a Xuanyin body." Concubine Li recalled.

"The Body of Xuanyin?" Wang Rui frowned and thought about it, but he didn't gain anything, he didn't know much about it, so he needed to go back and inquire.

Concubine Hua said a little anxiously: "True person, my son's safety will be freed, and he will repay him in the next life."

Wang Rui laughed in his heart, he didn't care, this Concubine Hua also used this kind of deceiving children to impress him when he didn't understand the world, maybe he thought he was a chivalrous man with a sense of justice.

"Concubine Hua doesn't need to be like this, it is the duty to protect Princess Qinglan, needless to say." Wang Rui's answer made Concubine Hua also blush, knowing that the other party had seen through her intentions.

Concubine Li on the side shook her head, thinking that this rival was still as innocent as she was alive, but unfortunately she lost to her at the beginning, which made her feel unwilling to this day.

Tonight is quite rewarding, on the one hand, I learned that there are likely to be evil cults or evil cultivators in the palace, and on the other hand, I know that Princess Qinglan is likely to be the body of Xuanyin, and I have seen a trace of the truth.
