Chapter 195 - Thousand Beast Pit
After the Emperor Ming finished reading and did not find anything abnormal, he sat down and took out a book from another hidden pavilion under the desk.
The contents of the booklet were all about the officials who were unwilling to submit to him.
After the Emperor Yun took over the throne, his demands towards the officials in the imperial court became even stricter. As long as they did not submit to him, the Emperor Ming would send the hidden guardians to assassinate them.
There were also a few memorials in the dark pavilion in Emperor Ming, which were presented in place of the officials who were dissatisfied with his management. Emperor Ming waved his hand and tore the imperial report into pieces, then burned it.
The man in black on the beam was looking for those memorials. Unfortunately, they were burned by him just like that. However, the book in his hand attracted the man in black's attention.
"Someone, come." Emperor Ming suddenly said.
Young Eunuch who was waiting outside immediately came in.
"What orders does the Emperor have?"
"Clean up these things." After Emperor Ming finished speaking, he stood up, and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something going on above his head.
From the moment he entered the house until now, Emperor Ming felt that something was amiss. He jerked his head up and saw a Wildcat appear on the beam of the house.
After a false alarm, he waved his sleeves and walked out.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Young Eunuch began to tidy up the imperial study. Fortunately, the black-clothed man on the roof had flipped to the other side just now, otherwise, he would have already been discovered.
While his father-in-law was tidying up and walking out, the black clothed man immediately flipped over and opened the hidden pavilion that was just opened by Emperor Ming. Flipping open the book, almost all of the names on the book were officials he had assassinated.
He never thought that after becoming the Emperor Ming's successor and killing so many people, the current Emperor Ming would not listen to anyone's advice. As long as someone went against his wishes, he would be killed without mercy.
The man in black copied down the names on the book. This name would definitely be useful in the future. The Emperor Ming killed innocents like this, so much so that they even assassinated officials with a difficult report. It was no wonder why they said that the imperial court was at peace.
After the man in black finished copying, he disappeared into the darkness of the royal study.
Tonight, his gains were not small. He would have never imagined that the person he was the most wary of was currently in the palace.
After leaving the royal study, the man in black was momentarily lost.
The palace was so heavily guarded that he had to make a great detour. However, why did he feel that he was moving further and further away from them? Gradually, he heard a strange sound not too far away. It sounded like the cry of a wolf or the cry of a tiger.
The first thing that came to mind was the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, the place that once took away his most beloved woman's life. The black clothed man walked in the direction of the voice. The closer he got to this place, the more his heart ached in pain. Finally, he reached the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. The inside was filled with ferocious beasts, all of which were roaring nonstop.
The black clothed man took off his mask and stared blankly at the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. He wanted nothing more than to kill all of these beasts and avenge her. Just when the man's eyes were wet and blurry, a flash appeared in front of his eyes. At the bottom of the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, he seemed to see that figure.
"Cold …" Just as he was about to blurt it out, the guard's voice came from not too far away.
"There was some movement over there just now. Let's go take a look."
The man had no choice but to put on a mask before turning around and leaving. The bright spot in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit also gradually disappeared. However, when the guards arrived, they discovered this strange phenomenon.
"Everyone take a look, what's in here?" One of the men pointed to the bright spot in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit.
"It looks like a woman." One of the guards said.
"Don't speak nonsense, how could there be a woman in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit?" Another guard added.
"Did you forget that the Empress Leng was not thrown down from here?"
When the guard said this, everyone shut their mouths and left in a hurry. The guards who had been in the palace for a long time all knew about the Empress Leng and its matters.
They were childhood friends, but in the end, Emperor Ming had killed her because she doted on him.
When the rumors about the Huishang Hall had just ended, they did not expect the Ten Thousand Beast Pit to send out another rumor that the Empress Leng would never be able to rest in peace.
However, the words that Empress Leng brought up in front of Emperor Ming were taboo, so even if the people from the palace knew about it, they would not dare to brazenly spread it.
Inside the Taiyuan Hospital, Leng Mu was seriously reading the names of the people on the paper.
"Leng Mu, what are you looking at?" Lin He moved closer to look.
"I'm looking at the names of these people. Are there any relatives or people who are still alive?" Leng Mu wanted to find these people as soon as possible. With the Emperor Ming starting a massacre like this and plotting against the officials, he believed that there would be a rebellion soon.
"Do you need the help of the people outside?"
Leng Mu shook his head, and said: "This matter is best done personally, since it is an important matter after all. If this matter were to be leaked out, the consequences would be unthinkable. At that time, Emperor Ming will also be suspicious. "
"Oh yeah, I heard some news about the Empress Leng." Lin He said softly.
Leng Mu was startled, and immediately asked: "What?"
"I heard that someone saw the Empress Leng in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit last night." Lin He said in a low voice.
The piece of paper in Leng Mu's hand fell onto the ground. He had always thought that it was just his imagination, but he never thought that there would actually be someone who saw it as well. Could it be that Empress Leng was still alive? Was it because she wanted to see him yesterday?
"What's the matter with you?" Lin He couldn't help but be even more baffled when he saw the stunned Leng Mu.
Leng Mu pondered for a moment, then said: "Last night, I saw it too."
After knowing this rumor, Leng Mu felt even more upset. How could she still be alive?
This was impossible. He had seen the Ten Thousand Beast Pit last night, and it was filled with ferocious beasts. Not to mention a person falling down, a random thing falling down would have its body smashed to smithereens.
After entering the palace, this was the second strange thing that happened to them. One was Qin Luofei, and now, it was the Ten Thousand Beast Pit.
In the Huishang Hall, Qin Luofei suddenly woke up.
She had just had a dream, and in that dream she had once again returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. She was enduring the pain of being bitten by a beast, and there were still tears at the corners of her eyes.
After waking up, Qin Luofei still hadn't fallen asleep. It was as if her body could still feel the pain of being bitten. She did not dare to go to bed that night. As soon as she fell asleep, that dream would appear.
When dawn finally arrived, Qin Luofei stood up and looked at herself in the mirror with a haggard face. How could she still torture the current her with the past?
"Qin Luofei, don't let your imagination run wild anymore. That is already a matter of my previous life." Qin Luofei pointed at herself in the mirror.
This scene was seen by Daihua, who was standing by the door. Recently, the young miss had been quite strange.
"Miss, what happened to you today? Muttering to yourself in the mirror. "
"Nothing?" Qin Luofei shook her head.
Daihua jumped in fright, seeing Qin Luofei black, as if she didn't sleep well.
"Miss, should I go and find some eggs for you?"
"No need, I'm fine. Just put on some rouge to cover your face. I don't intend to go out today. Everything is quiet now. " She was still thinking about the Emperor Yun, but since Zi Yuan had been placed at the Ling Wang's side, she would probably continue to search for him. It was just that she did not know how long she would have to search for him.
"Miss, we are at peace here, there's a place that's not peaceful anymore." Although none of the people in the palace dared to bring up the Empress Leng in front of the Emperor Ming, private news about this had already spread throughout the entire imperial palace.
"Where?" Qin Luofei said in a serious tone.
"Ten Thousand Beast Pit, someone said that he saw the Empress Leng."
Qin Luofei's entire body stiffened. What was going on? She was clearly here, why would she appear at the Ten Thousand Beast Pit?
"When did this happen?"
Xi Ju said, "Last night."
At this moment, Qin Luofei couldn't help but question whether the previous night's nightmare was real or not. In her dreams, she once again returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. Was it related to the person they saw last night? But that was good too. It would just be enough to scare the woman.
In her previous life, she had promised that she wouldn't let this adulterous couple off lightly. Now that fate allowed her to have the chance to take revenge, it was finally time for her to live up to herself.
Didn't Imperial Consort Leng have a child in her womb?
She was going to torture this woman.
Although she did not have evidence for the weeping in the Huishang Hall, Qin Luofei had already guessed that it must be related to this woman. If this grudge was not avenged, she swore that she would not be a person.
Qin Luofei took out her sword and swung it, accompanied by the pain of last night's nightmare. The hatred in his heart grew even stronger. One day, he would have the sword and behead all the heartless dogs in the world.
Qin Luofei's sword moves were all fatal, so Flower, who was standing by the side, broke out in a cold sweat.
It was as if the Miss today was a different person. She didn't even know if she was the original Miss or not.
"Miss, let's drink a cup of water." Daffodil Dayflower gave the water to Qin Luofei, who turned around with a cold expression and picked up the bowl with the tip of her sword. Afterwards, she firmly grabbed the bowl with one leap.
"My lady is so powerful." Daffodil Daydream looked at her in adoration.
Qin Luofei's expression did not relax in the slightest. It seemed like she was going to practice for the entire day. The nimble Qin Luo Fei traveled back and forth the backyard of Huishang Hall. The small bamboo forest had already been destroyed by her. She could only use this method to vent the hatred in her heart. She hated this man and that woman. How could she allow herself to be framed like this?
"Daihua, let's go take a bath first." Qin Luofei was sweating profusely. After venting her anger, she wanted to go to a place, to see the coming of age ceremony that he had once given her.
"Miss, where are you going?"
Daffodil Daydream asked curiously.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Pit." Qin Luofei wanted to see if there really was someone else there, even if it hurt, she had to see it for once.
"But it doesn't seem to be accessible to most people." Daffodil Daydream said.
"We'll talk about it when we get there." There was not the slightest bit of warmth in Qin Luofei's ice-cold eyes.
"But if the emperor saw this, would he be beheaded?"
"Don't worry, you stay in Huishang Hall. I'll go in by myself."
"Miss, the matter of the Huishang Hall has just been settled. It's best for you not to provoke them." Daihua was very worried for Qin Luofei, she didn't want to see Miss get hurt. However, there was nothing he could do to prevent her from taking the risk.
