Wu Xiaofei carefully entered the Hall of Phoenixes, keeping his head low throughout the entire process, not daring to even look around.
People who were used to being arrogant in their hometown would be no different from a falcon without its wings if they entered the imperial palace.
Shangguan Wan found it laughable. Usually when people called themselves grandpa, everyone would gather around him. She was a little not used to the quietness.
"This commoner, Wu Xiaofei, pays his respects to the empress!"
This was the first time he had bowed so deeply, and even his legs began to tremble.
He had originally thought that being summoned by the empress was just a joke, but he hadn't thought that he would actually come to the Imperial Palace and even enter the Phoenix-Returning Hall. Why did it feel like he was dreaming?
Is this for real?
"Rise." Shangguan Wan replied in a very normal manner. They did not even try to hide it.
Of course, Wu Xiaofei recognized that voice. Wasn't that the voice of a beauty? How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
He slowly stood up, still keeping his head low. This place was not like home, where he could do whatever he wanted.
"Why don't you dare look at me?" Shangguan Wan smiled and asked, taking a sip of tea.
Actually, he knew in his heart that Wu Xiaobao was just a paper tiger.
The more Wu Xiaofei listened, the more suspicious he became. It was too similar, too similar. There were actually two people in this world who had exactly the same voices.
Wait, wait, he seemed to recall something. He remembered that in the Wu Residence, Jun Yao had addressed the beauty as' Empress'. Now, she had also appeared in the palace, and was also a palace maid.
God! This was too terrifying. There was absolutely no way something like this could be so ridiculous!
He jerked his head up, and the exquisite face was displayed before his eyes.
"Beautiful …"
"Why?" Shangguan Wan stood up and got down from the phoenix chair, "Where's that overweeningly arrogant Uncle Wu?" Is he dead? "
Her face was suffused with a contemptuous smile. The Wu father and son had committed countless evil deeds in order to reap the benefits of the people's ointment, as if the death of the poisonous bugs in this country was not something to be regretted.
"You, who exactly are you?" Large beads of sweat appeared on Wu Xiaofei's forehead. His heart was beating incessantly, which was even more terrifying than ghost stories.
"Who exactly is it? This question is very good. " Shangguan Wan circled in front of him, then lowered her head and said calmly, "I'm the one who sent you to hell."
Wu Xiaohu shook his head, "Impossible!"
"Why is it impossible? What do you think you are to me? Love, or infatuation? I tell you, it was only because I seduced you. " Shangguan Wan slightly pointed with her finger and released the charm, "Do you still think you love me now?"
"You are a demon! "Demons!" Regret came to him, but the old tutor actually didn't take his words to heart.
"I am a demon." Shangguan Wan didn't want to shirk either, "Idiot, idiot, think carefully about it, that night was the night you and eighth concubine slept together. I designed it all, cough! "Why would I waste my breath talking to you about this? I merely summoned you here today to tell you how foolish you two are."
"You wicked spirit! "You caused the Wu Residence to go bankrupt, and you will die a horrible death!" It seemed that he had already lost the right to live ever since he entered this hall.
Shangguan Wan clapped her hands, "Father and son really do share the same heart, even scolding me is almost the same. Very good, now you go accompany your father. Didn't you always say he won't die of old age? He should be dead by now."
After Shangguan Wan had returned to the palace, other than sending the imperial guards to find Nangong Yu and then sending men to the Wu Mansion to 'deal with' the evil bullies, there were also the commoners who lived a peaceful life. Besides that, all the officials who colluded with Wu Dajian, regardless of their size, she did not let them go.
Presumably, Wu Datong died with grievance.
"You!" Wu Xiaohu was filled with regret and regret. He thought about how easy it had been for him to live in the past. Ever since she came to his side, everything had changed and he was no longer home.
It was all a scheme of hers. She purposefully instigated her relationship with her father, even bringing in the crime of incest. Her scheme was truly marvelous.
Everyone was inadvertently "cooperating" with her trick. This demoness, she chose to attack him from the bottom of her heart instead of killing him directly.
"You took a bath just now, so your body should be clean now. You should leave clean. In your next life, you should be a good person." Shangguan Wan conjured a sword and brought it in front of him.
This was her special sword, Silver Heart.
She still remembered the time when she had placed this sword on Rong Xiu's neck. It was because Rong Xiu wanted to hurt Nangong Yu, so she had no choice but to make a move.
Although Wu Xiaohu was a fool, he also understood that if he begged her to let him live on secretly, then his life would only be more painful than death.
In the end, he still used the Silver Heart Sword to end his own life.
It was never too good for a corpse to lie in the hall.
"Someone, take it down and throw it away." The greedy and lustful person, the one who did evil and evil things, would not end well if he died. He should end up like the cat demon.
The four young eunuchs walked in. Their four limbs were distributed among the four of them, just right.
At this time, when Chu Jingli returned to the imperial capital, the first thing he did was enter the palace to pay his respects to the empress.
When he saw this, his brow creased. "Empress, this …"
Shangguan Wan smiled. "He's an assassin, his intentions are against me."
If he wanted to explain the cause and effect of this matter, he might as well just send it off with a simple sentence. How straightforward and straightforward.
"No wonder." The doubt in Chu Jingli's heart was dispelled. He hurriedly cupped his hands and greeted, "This humble subject pays his respect to the Empress."
Shangguan Wan helped him rise. "There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so polite, General."
"Empress, I heard that the Emperor is missing. Can the Empress tell me the details?" Ai, if we don't find the emperor as soon as possible, I'm afraid this matter won't be able to be concealed.
"Jingli, you aren't an outsider. I won't hide this from you. Actually, the emperor left by himself." "He said that he had some important matters to attend to, but after so long, there was no news of him. That's why I'm worried that His Majesty might have met with an accident." In addition, that heartless person said that the Emperor was risking his life to protect her, which further increased her confidence that Nangong Yu wouldn't have much luck.
"But the world is so big. If we just blindly search for it, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack." Chu Jingli sighed, then asked, "Empress, can you think carefully about where the Emperor might have gone?"
"I am not too sure. When the Emperor left, I was busy with some matters and wasn't there on the spot, so I didn't ask around. " Shangguan Wan was upset. It was all her fault for wanting to play around, which was why she had given Nangong Yu the chance to 'escape'.
"Empress, if there is anyone in this world that can find the Emperor, it must be you. Please think carefully. If there is a clue, this humble subject will definitely take the lead." Chu Jingli's words were reasonable.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, it made sense, because the person the Emperor cared for most and loved most was the Empress, and he and the Queen loved each other.
Thus, if their minds were connected, the possibility of the empress finding the emperor was the greatest.
