The princess changed her widow's life by fortune-telling

Guiqing was also really worried that Pei Zimo would sneak off to the underworld, so besides looking at her attentively, he also told other people to look at Pei Zimo together.

Even the idle Han Yu was called over to stare at people.

Pei Zimo also had no choice but to accept his fate and honestly raise a baby in the temple.

*
Unlike the quietness of the years on the side of the holy hall, the side of the Qiankun hall is simply flying around.

The empress didn't understand anything, let alone what Xie Zhilin said about deployment and infallibility. What she thought was to find the location of the lotus, and then she went to destroy the lotus.

But twice in a row, Lianhua found a chance to escape.

Xie Zhilin and the Empress really had no way to communicate, so they could only come to find Bai Jinye in private.

After Bai Jinye sent Pei Zimo away, he went back to the imperial city. The empress did not allow him to leave the palace, so he just walked around the palace every day, went to the study to read, or occasionally went to study the tortoise.

After the tortoise broke out of the ground, even if it stayed where it was, the earth and rocks couldn't cover its figure, but it didn't seem to care about it.

So probably it was just lying here at the beginning, because it hadn't moved for a long time, it was covered by earth and rocks, and then flowers and plants grew on it.

Bai Jinye went to look at it, and it would occasionally open its eyes to look at him, and seeing that he was not moving, it didn't bother to pay attention to him, and closed its eyes again.

When Xie Zhilin found Bai Jinye, he was sitting in front of Zhengui, staring at Zhengui in a daze.Xie Zhilin was somewhat afraid of the tortoise. He stood in the distance and looked at it for a long time. After seeing the tortoise motionless, he walked over.

Bai Jinye also turned to look at him, "What do you need from me?"

"Hey." Xie Zhilin sat down next to Bai Jinye with a distressed face, "I thought before that the matter of the Wu clan has been resolved, the empress has returned, and the good days of the Qiankun Temple have finally arrived, but... now it is really A mess."

"I don't understand what the empress said. Tell her that after so many years of war, nine out of ten people will survive, and they need to find a way to make them thrive."

"In my opinion, the best way now is to designate two cities closest to the imperial city and let everyone move here. Otherwise, everyone is too scattered now. If you say that in a city, it will be left if it is full. In the next few families, they may still be relatives, and there is no way to intermarry."

"It's better to gather everyone together and encourage them to have more children, right?"

"And in the current situation, once something happens, they can't take care of each other."

"Similar to this kind of suggestion, we have given countless suggestions to the empress, but she just didn't understand, and even asked me why I want the people to prosper. Even if there are no people, doesn't the Qiankun Palace still exist?"

"I really..."

Xie Zhilin sighed again as he spoke, "I heard that the empress was mentioned by people in the past. At that time, she was regarded as a dragon and a phoenix among people, and she worked hard to rule. At least it is like this in all legends, right? But look at which word she can be associated with now. Above? Even if it means that after death, some kind of secret method was used to revive in the ancestral hall, at least it should be similar to before, right?"

"But now, I can't even say that she is like an ignorant child, at least an ignorant child can listen to persuasion occasionally."

"I don't know how to describe it. In short, I think she looks at each of us as if she is looking at ants."

"I also admit that after so many years, we people's magic skills may indeed be inferior to those around the former empress, but it's not our fault, right?"

"We have no leader. We have persisted for so many years. It's fine if she doesn't reward us. She doesn't even say a word about hard work."

At the beginning, Xie Zhilin wanted to reason, but afterward, it all turned into complaints, "And Pei Qingge, didn't she say that she is the empress's friend? You said she had escaped death and released the empress from the ancestral hall, the empress Not only was he not grateful, he even kicked him out of Qiankun Hall."

"I really don't understand. Without the two of you, she is still trapped in the ancestral hall and we are still being bullied by the witch clan. How could she do such a thing?"

"You are also a good person. She locked you in the palace and didn't let you go anywhere. Even if you were outside, the two times you wouldn't let Lianhua escape so easily, right?"

Bai Jinye turned to look at him, "Are you just here to complain, or come to me to see if there is anything I can do?"

"Complaining is of course only part of it." Xie Zhilin sighed again, "There is no way to complain, I am really full of resentment during this time, and I can't tell the people below, so I can only come to you to vomit my bitterness. But it’s really not an option to go on like this, and you can’t just be in a daze every day, can you?”

"Yes." Bai Jinye nodded, "But what can we do? Our skills are not as good as hers. Even if she doesn't know anything, she is always good at killing people."

Xie Zhilin didn't speak. After Lianhua escaped last time, the empress went crazy and destroyed the whole mountain. None of the beasts on the mountain could escape. Fortunately, there was no one on the mountain, otherwise they would all die together.

Fortunately, they were not able to catch up with her at that time, and by the time they caught up, she had already vented her anger, otherwise he would not have been ordered to complain to Bai Jinye here today, and he would have reported to the ancestral hall long ago.

Bai Jinye tapped his knee lightly, "Which one do you think is better, the Empress or the Lotus?"

"It's hard to say, that lotus is too cunning. Although the empress has high skills, she will be tricked by it." Xie Zhilin frowned, "But if this stalemate continues, how long will it last? If you give that lotus another chance to recuperate, It may choose some more people, even if there is no Wu clan, there will be other clans."

"When Lotus makes a comeback next time, it may not be so easy to deal with."

"So now is the best chance to destroy the lotus." Bai Jinye narrowed his eyes, "If the empress can put all her thoughts on the lotus, even if she can't destroy it, she can restrain it. There is no need for you to report to the empress again, just do it directly."

He said and turned to look at Xie Zhilin, "Are you reporting that the empress might not care about these things at all, does she?"

Xie Zhilin blinked, "Indeed, but how can the empress put all her energy on the lotus?"

Bai Jinye didn't speak any more, but raised his eyes and continued to look at Zhengui.

When Xie Zhilin was about to continue asking, he suddenly felt something and quickly stood up from the ground.

After a while, I saw the empress walking from a distance.

"That... I'll go first." After speaking, Xie Zhilin didn't stay any longer, and left quickly by another road.

Bai Jinye turned his head to look, the Empress naturally saw Xie Zhilin, but she didn't stop him from leaving, which proved that her purpose of coming was not to find Xie Zhilin, but to find him.
