Chapter 202: Exquisite Lock
"After all, this Cloud Breaking Hall appeared in Chang'an, if it causes disaster, it must be the people in the city who suffer. I asked this in the hope that Di Qing could solve it as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Di Qing concealed it and did not report it? Are you unaware of the dangers of the Cloud Breaker Temple? ”
Wu Zetian's mind turned, and he changed his mind to test Di Renjie. She knew that Di Renjie was most concerned about the life and death of ordinary people, and with this as an excuse, Di Renjie would definitely leak the news.
When Di Renjie heard this, he frowned.
"The appearance of the Cloud Breaking Hall has brought many strange people to Chang'an City. It seems that there is something extremely important in the temple gate that needs to be fought over. It is precisely because of this that the brocade guards led by the minister were all poisoned, and none of them survived. ”
These words were originally what Di Renjie wanted to report to the empress early on. But because of the matter between Su Lie and Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie has become estranged from the empress in his heart. He even believes that the empress has long been unconcerned about Chang'an, only about the struggle for power.
And the empress mentioned the people earlier, which made Di Renjie feel that the empress at least had some of the conscience of the monarch.
He felt it was necessary to inform the empress of the current situation, not for anything else, but for the sake of the stability of these people.
If the empress can pay attention to this, she will send more people to patrol the city and garrison it in Chang'an City. The innocent people have an extra layer of protection.
When the empress heard Di Renjie's words, she knew that Di Renjie had been deceived by her illusion. She hurriedly continued to pretend, and immediately raised her hand and slapped the armrest of the stool hard, making a sad look.
"I was negligent! I didn't expect such a big mess! I thought that Li Xin's rebellion was already a big deal! Unexpectedly, in Chang'an City, there was already a crisis! This brocade guard is all selected talents, and they were easily killed by people outside! Are the people of the city not fish to be slaughtered? This.. This.. What should I do? Wu Zetian frowned painfully, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, but his eyes were secretly aimed at Di Renjie.
Di Renjie saw that Wu Zetian was so anxious, and his prejudice against her was slightly eliminated. Thinking of these years, the empress has also worked hard for the stability of Heluo, and he has been-for-tat with the empress before, did he misunderstand the empress?
Wu Zetian saw that Di Renjie was unmoved, but his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes gradually reddened.
"It's all to blame! If I hadn't gone out to worship, maybe there wouldn't have been such a mess in Chang'an! If I were in Chang'an, I would definitely send more people in the city, and the Jinyi Guards would not be slaughtered! And I'm still thinking about a traitor, what a fool! Could it be... The sky is going to die in my Heluo? Wu Zetian pretended to squeeze out two tears, and the pear blossom with rain looked pitiful, which made people feel pity.
"Di Qing, I don't need you to arrest Li Xin's traitor right now! The stability of Heluo should be more important, if Chang'an is in chaos and the people are slaughtered, what does it mean for me, the monarch, to do it? What face do I have to meet the first emperor! ”
She sadly raised her hand and pounded her chest, as if she blamed herself for her previous calculations.
When Di Renjie heard the empress's words, he only felt that the empress was sincerely worried about the life and death of the people of Chang'an. And because the empress was unwilling to overturn the case, he had many guesses about the empress in his heart, maybe he was too careful.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to blame yourself, since the minister is here, he will never let Chang'an be in chaos! Heluo's rivers and mountains and prosperous times, the ministers will defend to the end! Di Renjie bowed down and knelt down with a serious expression, kowtowed to the empress and said.
Protecting Chang'an and Heluo is his lifelong wish, and it is also what he wants to accomplish. Once the demon world was chaotic and invaded Chang'an, he had this idea. At this moment, the Cloud Breaking Hall appeared in Chang'an, causing all kinds of disputes, and he still had this idea. He wants to protect the peace of this world and the peace of Chang'an.
Wu Zetian saw Di Renjie bow his head and knock on the ground, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sinister smile. This Di Renjie really took the bait, as a monarch, he has this kind of benefit. She only needs to use Di Renjie's loyalty and love for the people to achieve her goals.
"Di Qing! Hurry up! You are willing to contribute to Heluo, it should be me who thanks you! Why are you on your knees? Hurry, hurry up! The empress hurriedly walked over, bent down and reached out to help Di Renjie up from the ground.
"Since you have this determination, there are some things that I might as well talk to you about." Wu Zetian's eyes are crooked, and his beautiful eyes are breathtaking. She stared at Di Renjie expectantly.
Di Renjie felt the empress's gaze and inadvertently took a small step back. He glanced over his gaze, avoiding eye contact with the Empress.
The smile on the empress's face froze for a second, slightly embarrassed.
"This Cloud Breaking Hall was originally left behind in the world by the Yunxi Divine Monarch. Since it is something left behind by God, there must be such great power in it. And this power, I don't want to fall into the hands of others. In case someone wants to destroy this power, it will be a great disaster for Heluo. Di Qing, do you know what I'm talking about? ”
Wu Zetian began to follow the temptation step by step, expressing how important the things in the Cloud Breaking Hall were. The next step was for her to ask Di Renjie to help her take out her things.
"The minister knows something about the things in the Cloud Breaking Palace. I heard that it is a snow crystal that can fulfill all wishes. When Di Renjie said this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was skeptical of this statement. But at the moment, this statement sounds the most reliable.
Wu Zetian blinked when he heard this. Of course, she knew that there were not only things like snow crystals in the Cloud Breaking Palace, but she felt that there was no need to talk to Di Renjie about this at this moment. Let Di Renjie be obedient and help her enter the Cloud Breaking Hall to take out the divine artifact, which is the key.
"So there is such a magical thing in the world? If this thing falls into the hands of traitors, it will be bad! Di Qing, I have always known that you are calm and resourceful, do you have any way to take out the divine objects in this temple? ”
When Wu Zetian said this, he deliberately reached out and put it on Di Renjie's shoulder. She turned her face slightly, and her long hair slightly concealed her beautiful face, like an epiphany blooming, touching people's hearts.
"The minister only knows that now that the Cloud Breaking Hall has completed the gathering stage, if you want to open the palace door, you still need to find one more thing." Di Renjie felt that the empress was too close to him, so he said a little unnaturally, trying not to look at the empress.
"What's that?" The empress's charming gaze swept over Di Renjie's iceberg-like cold face.
"Delicate locks. I want to ask, can this exquisite lock be in the hands of His Majesty? Di Renjie asked in a deep voice, with a serious expression.
"Huh? What delicate locks? Wu Zetian's heart chuckled, and her fingers curled up unnaturally.
