Chapter 816: Understanding Everything in an Instant
It would be better for the Empress to see an empty prison than for Her Majesty to see her master imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!
This attempt at post-event remediation is truly a drop in the ocean, but if he were to simply lie there waiting for His Majesty to arrive, then everything would truly be over.
"That's...ok."
Gu Heng really felt that there were too many shady dealings involved.
In particular, the commander of the Imperial Guards spoke incoherently and behaved quite strangely.
But since we can get out of the prison, we should leave quickly and not stay here. Besides, he said he could pass on a message to the little girl, so we can only believe him.
If his guess was correct, the young girl probably held an official position in the palace, and the fact that Lu Li hadn't heard of her name was likely because he wasn't qualified to know...
In this palace, the Grand Eunuch is probably in charge. Since their positions and powers are different, it's normal that Lu Li hasn't heard of this.
However, the commander of the Imperial Guards was stationed in the palace.
Well, that makes sense.
Gu Heng thought he was really smart, having sorted out some of the doubts so easily.
"Then please tell her that I'm waiting for her at that 'Moon-Viewing Pavilion,' it's a restaurant."
"I'll be going now, so I won't disturb you two any longer... You two can continue your heart-to-heart talk."
He glanced at Lu Li, who was almost motionless on the ground and covered in blood, and silently mourned for this clerk.
Then I took off running. I had to catch up with that old immortal emperor as soon as possible.
"Phew, from now on, we can only leave it to fate."
Mo Qian took a deep breath and stood still, waiting quietly. Lu Li, who was next to her, also deliberately held back his breath, so that he didn't actually kill Lu Li on the spot.
Although this guy caused him to end up in this situation, there might still be a sliver of hope for survival.
Besides, the position of Director of the Imperial Guard was bestowed by the Empress herself. No matter what, he, a mere commander of the Imperial Guard, had no right to make decisions for Her Majesty. Whether Lu Li lived or died depended on Her Majesty.
Hopefully, the Empress won't execute me outright, considering my past contributions and hard work...
……
Half an hour later.
Mo Qian sensed that familiar aura and entered the Heavenly Prison. There she saw Qin Yiyao, dressed in a black and gold phoenix robe and adorned with hairpins, walking towards her. Mo Qian saw that her expression was quite cold and stern, and thought that she had lost the game of chess with Chief Steward Yin.
Mo Qian's heart grew even colder. The Empress had just lost the game of chess, and her mood was probably even worse. And now...
Without hesitation, he immediately performed a deep bow and said, "This sinful subject pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
A disgraced official?
Qin Yiyao frowned imperceptibly.
As she smelled the blood, she also saw Lu Li lying beside her, his life hanging by a thread.
Her brows furrowed even more. Qin Yiyao bypassed Mo Qian, who was kneeling before her, and walked to the empty cell.
The spy who was to be interrogated was also not there.
wrong!
There seemed to be a faint scent in that cell that she would instinctively rush towards, very faint, but still lingering!
That taste was so familiar.
She spent hundreds of times more time with him than they spent apart, how could she not remember?
Qin Yiyao's eyes trembled slightly.
In that instant, many emotions flashed through Qin Yiyao's mind, but the emotion that finally settled was unexpected anger!
"boom!"
When that powerful force erupted from her, Mo Qian was thrown to the ground, her whole body wracked with pain, and even her internal organs were damaged.
The Empress's strength was so great that even Mo Qian couldn't fathom it.
The gap is too big.
"'Possibly a spy sent by the demon realm'... those were your exact words, remember?"
Qin Yiyao silently looked at Mo Qian, who had gotten up from the ground and was kneeling obediently, her words as cold as if she had no emotion at all.
"……Yes."
Mo Qian suppressed the metallic taste rising in her throat.
He knew that the Empress would probably find out what had happened in the prison within the next ten breaths.
The cause and effect are probably not wrong at all.
Her intelligence far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine!
It's hard to realize unless you see it for yourself.
"Then tell me, where is this 'spy' I'm going to interrogate?"
"Knowing he had made a grave mistake, I released him. He said he was waiting for you at a restaurant called 'Duyuelou' in the city."
"He also doesn't know your other identity."
Mo Qian said.
Upon hearing this, an even colder killing intent surfaced on Qin Yiyao's icy expression.
“Lu Li doesn’t know my real name, but you know that he told you that this ‘spy’ revealed my name, and when you questioned him, you realized that a terrible mistake had been made… a mistake that I will never forgive!”
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Mo Qian was covered in cold sweat that had dripped onto the ground.
"Someone is coming."
Qin Yiyao rubbed her temples; she had underestimated the impact this ridiculous farce had on her mental state.
Four figures appeared behind her.
"Throw these two into the imperial prison and await their fate."
After giving the instructions, Qin Yiyao disappeared without a trace.
Mo Qian watched as two guards from the Heavenly Prison approached him, forced him to take a pill that would dissipate his cultivation, and then handcuffed him. For some reason, he felt a sense of relief.
It's alright, at least he wasn't killed on the spot.
I can live a little longer now.
……
Gu Heng and Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong sat down again in the restaurant called "Duiyue Tower".
The same waiter was still in charge of serving tea.
"So, in my opinion, brewing wine is a pretty casual thing. As you can see, there's nothing special about it."
Gu Heng ate his braised beef while chatting animatedly with the Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong sitting opposite him.
The Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong looked at him and said, "I have nowhere else to go. If Mr. Gu agrees, I would like to stop being a rootless duckweed."
"You want to come with me?" Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"If Mr. Gu is willing to accept this old man," "Of course I am. You are a man of great knowledge and experience. To be honest, I am very interested in knowing what the Immortal Realm is like. Before I go there, I would like to ask you for some answers."
Gu Heng immediately refilled the tea for Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong.
Although this old Immortal Emperor is no longer powerful and can no longer fight, his wisdom is still intact.
With such a living history in existence, Gu Heng was quite looking forward to hearing some things about the Immortal Realm from him.
"somebody is coming."
The Immortal Emperor Jiu Qiong's gaze fell on the entrance of the restaurant.
The one who came was a master.
"Ok?"
Gu Heng first smelled a delicate fragrance, and before he could react, the soft and fragrant figure had already rushed into his arms.
Qin Yiyao curled up on his lap, her arms wrapped tightly around him, burying her head in his collar, inhaling deeply. "Master, I missed you so much."
Qin Yiyao murmured, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.
"Ahem, you silly girl, this isn't appropriate for us outside."
Gu Heng held her, looked at Jiu Qiong Immortal Emperor awkwardly, and said embarrassedly, "This is my disciple, Qin Yiyao. Please don't take offense, Elder Jiu. This girl is very clever and mischievous."
The Immortal Emperor Jiuqiong remained silent, a slight smile appearing on his old face.
apprentice?
He had never seen a disciple of any other family throw himself at his master in such an intimate manner.
I'm afraid this apprentice has some grand scheme in mind.
