Chapter 257: The False Resurrection of the Empress
The prison of the emperor's harem completely collapsed because of the mechanism, and the lake in the prison poured back, and the rolling water washed the cold prison walls. The jailers saw that something was wrong and ran outside. The door of the prison had already been destroyed by Yun Zhongjun, revealing a huge gap. The jailers scrambled to get outside.
Ming Shiyin stood indifferently outside the prison and waited, he was waiting for someone, that person was none other than Di Renjie. Now that the Linglong lock was in his hand, it was one layer closer to entering the Cloud Breaking Palace.
It's just that Yun Zhongjun's appearance made him feel a little troublesome, but Ming Shiyin felt that as long as he and Di Renjie were fast enough, they would be able to enter the Cloud Breaking Hall first and take the lead. When Ming Shiyin was still thinking, he saw many jailers running frantically for their lives, followed by the turbulent river water surging out, like a water dragon that had lost control.
Ming Shiyin immediately raised his hand and waved, and a few red peony petals scattered from his fingertips. The petals emitted a faint red light, and rushed to the river very quickly, and the peony petals entwined the river water heavily, rotating and intertwining, and magically sucked the violently slamming river water into the petals.
There was still not a drop of water on the ground of the Imperial Harem, and time passed, a few minutes later. Another burst of river water poured out, and Di Renjie in the river was wrapped in runes and jumped out. Di Renjie grabbed a fainting Xiao Luban with his left hand, and dragged the unconscious Lin with his right hand, as if he was running for his life, and he didn't forget to save these two people.
Di Renjie was obviously surprised to see Ming Shiyin here.
"Why are you here?"
"Me? Of course, I'm waiting for Master Di! ”
Ming Shiyin smiled faintly, and the red peony petals on his fingertips continued to absorb all the water gushing out of the lake. This trick uses flowers to control water, and the spell looks graceful and peculiar. Di Renjie wondered how Ming Shiyin could do it.
Ming Shiyin seemed to see Di Renjie's curiosity, he half-squinted, but he didn't intend to explain. He felt that it was time to tell Di Renjie about the empress's death. He suddenly wanted to see Di Renjie's shocked expression.
"The Empress was killed by Yun Zhongjun!" Ming Shiyin said with a smile. He spoke lightly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"What!" When Di Renjie heard this, he was really shocked.
His eyes widened, and he felt a rumble in his head. Di Renjie didn't grieve the death of the empress, in his eyes, this woman was scheming and used him repeatedly, which had already made him see through the hypocritical face. Di Renjie only felt that the death of the empress at this time was too inopportune, and now that Heluo had no owner, wouldn't Chang'an be in chaos.
Chang'an fell into chaos, which was the last thing Di Renjie wanted to see, and it was also the most worrying thing. He had to think of a way to hide the death of the empress first. At least it must be concealed, after the matter of the Cloud Breaking Hall is resolved.
"How do you know?" Di Renjie retracted his expression and asked Ming Shiyin.
At the same time, Lin was carefully placed on the side of the road against the stone wall, which he was dragging with his right hand.
As for Xiao Luban, who fell into a fainting in his left hand, Di Renjie looked at it. He remembered that General Su said that Xiao Luban had clues to enter the Cloud Breaking Palace, and it must be useful to stay by his side.
After Di Renjie thought about it, he raised his hand and put a talisman on Xiao Luban's body. At this time, Xiao Luban really became a puppeteer who couldn't move.
"I happened to see it when I passed by the Imperial Garden." Ming Shiyin said unhurriedly.
"This empress has imprisoned Yun Zhongjun for several years, and it is normal for Yun Zhongjun to kill her in anger." Ming Shiyinyun said lightly, picking his body cleanly, and the leaves did not stick to his body.
"Since you saw it, why didn't you come to the rescue?" Di Renjie frowned and stared at Ming Shiyin coldly.
"Hahaha~ Master Di! This empress is your monarch, not mine? Why should I go to the rescue? Besides, wouldn't it be a good thing that the empress is dead, and the exquisite dragon hidden in her body is locked in my hand! A calculating look flashed on Ming Shiyin's delicate face.
"Don't forget, what did I come to Chang'an for! I'm here for the treasures of the Cloud Breaking Palace, not for doing good deeds and accumulating virtue! Ming Shiyin's voice suddenly turned cold, and his amber eyes shone gloomily.
"Cloud Breaking Palace, I want to enter as soon as possible!" Di Renjie lowered his voice and said. He knew that Ming Shiyin wanted to use him, and now he could also use Ming Shiyin to enter the Cloud Breaking Hall as soon as possible. The fragments of power inside, he would never allow them to be taken away by others, and he couldn't allow Chang'an to be blown to the ground.
He could only stop this before everyone entered the Cloud Breaking Temple!
Ming Shiyin was a little surprised when he heard this, hasn't Di Renjie always been gentle about the matter of Cloud Breaking Palace? How did you become positive all of a sudden? Could it be that after being locked up in prison for a while, my head became clearer. Ming Shiyin only thought that this was a good thing, and he didn't ask more.
Di Renjie walked all the way with Xiao Luban's collar. He didn't rush out of the emperor's harem, but ran to the imperial garden. He saw Wu Zetian lying in a pool of blood, without any sympathy. Even General Su, a person who has been willing to be a dog for the royal family all his life, still can't escape being locked in the darkest and most terrifying cage in the end. The desire for power has long blinded this woman.
It's just that at this moment, Li Xin is in Chang'an, and the death of the empress will definitely give Li Xin an opportunity. And Di Renjie won't let this happen. I saw him take out the rune from his sleeve and use the soul-locking formation on the lost Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian, who was already dead, showed a reddish pink on her pale complexion, and her dry lips became as tender as cherry blossoms, all as if she was still alive.
"The empress is not dead, but asleep." Di Renjie said in a low voice.
He later sent the empress back to her bedchamber and told the servants around him that she was just asleep. All affairs in Chang'an are handled as usual. As for why those palace people are honest and obedient, of course, it is indispensable to Ming Shiyin's help.
On the white floor tiles of the emperor's harem, there are withered peony petals scattered everywhere, and everything is very weird.
Ming Shiyin walked behind Di Renjie, only thinking it was funny. Originally, Ming Shiyin thought that Di Renjie was different from him, but he didn't expect Di Renjie to do what he had done. Ming Shiyin once returned to his homeland because of hatred, and out of revenge, he slaughtered all the palace people in the palace.
The blood-red palace walls and the bloody gore made him feel disgusted and desolate. Later, he used illusions to make those who died like phantoms of the walking dead, "alive" again. The palace people who have lost their will are all living according to the will of Ming Shiyin.
Ming Shiyin often thinks that his Chunhua Palace is very lively, but sometimes he will find that he is the only living person in this palace from beginning to end.
