The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 134 Assassin
Three days after the witchcraft case happened, the emperor made a decision, ordering all the concubines in the palace to go to the imperial temple for a month of meditation.

One is to correct the atmosphere in the palace and curb unhealthy and evil trends; the other is that he wants to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the palace and invite experts from all walks of life to participate in the investigation.

In addition to Zong Yingkong participating in the investigation team, there are also other monks, Taoists, warlocks and alchemists, as well as shrewd officials who have been investigating cases for many years.The emperor had already doubted Zong Yingkong and would not let him be responsible for this matter alone.

Recalling what Zong Yingkong did, he first brought up the strange things in the palace, and then it seemed that something unusual happened to confirm what he said.

The emperor was still very wise, and he immediately saw the key to the problem. Zongying Kong also felt the emperor's distrust of him, but he didn't care about it anymore.

The most important thing now is to kill the foreign cultivator, capture Hongyu, and then find a way to get the Grandmist Orb to make the power of the secret realm his own.

Zongying Kong invented the method of preserving the power of the secret realm before the eighth cycle of reincarnation. In the past, all he preserved were wronged souls, demon power, and dragon vein energy. Now these things combined cannot compare with the Primordial Bead generated in the secret realm. He must To get this.

Tang Yue has no objection to going to the temple, only Hong Yu feels bored, "The temple is a place of pure cultivation, which is more difficult than my cultivation in the mountains. I came to the world to enjoy the luxury and wine, and I don't want to practice hard anymore.",
It seems that Hongyu is becoming more and more familiar with the pleasures in the world, which is also the reason why he sneaked out of the palace with her when he had nothing to do.

"Jiang Town next to Taimiao is very prosperous, we can secretly go there to play."

"I don't like Jiang Zhen." Hong Yu recalled the unpleasant memory in Jiang Zhen, which was her tragic emotional injury.

"Then we won't go to the town. The manors and villas in the suburbs are also very interesting."

"Well, maybe I won't feel sad when I get there, and I can take a good look at Jiangshui Town."

In order to avoid further accidents on the road, the emperor transferred many guards, imperial guards, and Jinwu Guards to follow him this time. Bai Musi was ordered to lead the Jinwu Guards to follow the imperial concubines to the Ancestral Temple.

Although due to the relationship between Zongying and Confucius, the Taoism of the Dashang Dynasty prospered and the Buddhism declined, the Taimiao, as a place for the royal family to practice Buddhism, still has a high status.

It is not only a place for the royal family to worship the Buddha, but also a place to deal with the royal family. It is safer to place the sinful concubine and the former emperor's concubine here, and nothing will shame the royal family.

Empress, imperial concubine, concubine and concubine all have their own carriages, and the women below have a carriage for two.

It's not that the royal family doesn't have so many carriages, it's for safety reasons: fewer carriages, easier to guard.

Hong Yu was bored alone in the car, so she summoned Concubine Gu Gui to accompany her.

The queen thought that there would be a place for Concubine Gu Gui to be used in the future, and after the witchcraft incident, she still sent Nanny Liu to follow Tang Yue.

Seeing Concubine Gu Gui's promotion and gaining favor, Liu Mama still obeyed Concubine Hong in everything, swallowed her anger, and couldn't help mocking: "You are too cowardly and cowardly, the emperor has promoted you. Why are you more obedient to Concubine Hong than before?"

She sincerely hoped that Concubine Gu Gui could confront Concubine Hong tit for tat, so that Empress Empress would have a better chance.

After hearing this, Tang Yue paused when she got off the carriage, and turned her head to cry, "Mother Liu, what can I do? She is the lord of the first palace, and I'm just a noble concubine. Since I was a child From the beginning, my grandfather taught me the order of respect and inferiority, and etiquette cannot be violated. How can I disobey someone who is higher than me? Such a thing not only violates the teaching I have received since childhood, but also hurts the harmonious relationship in the harem. The emperor has added troubles, it is really unacceptable."

Mother Liu sneered, "What are you talking about, you don't dare to disobey, have you forgotten what you have done?"

Gu Guiren seemed to be even more sad, with a miserable expression on his face, "The empress is the mother of the world, so her orders are naturally more important."

Nanny Liu questioned her, "So you think the Empress made you do something embarrassing and you were wronged?"

The corners of Tang Yue's eyes became moist, "It is my honor to be ordered by the empress."

King Rui, who was watching their movement from the side, couldn't take it anymore, stepped forward and said: "If the nobleman wants to change cars, go as soon as possible, so as not to delay the team's itinerary."

This woman didn't even blink when he beat him up violently, she was just trying to act like she was pretending to be weak.

Tang Yue replied in a panic, "His Royal Highness King Rui said that I will go to the car of Hongfei Empress right now."

Seeing that King Rui was coming, Grandma Liu didn't dare to say anything more. After sending Tang Yue to Concubine Hong's car, she found time to find the empress.

King Rui was ordered to escort the imperial concubines to the Taimiao this time. This was the first time he received such an imperial order. In the past, King Duan did it.

Probably because the emperor couldn't find out the murderer who injured him in time, he felt ashamed, so he should use this as compensation.

Concubine Hong waited for her to get into the car, and said gossipingly, "King Rui sent us to the Taimiao this time, and he will also be responsible for the safety of the empress and concubine. This is a good opportunity for you."

Tang Yue raised her eyebrows, "What a good opportunity?"

"Of course it's a good opportunity to have an affair, he will definitely come to you." Hong Yu's eyes were burning with raging fire of gossip.

"Probably not a good opportunity to have an affair, but a good opportunity to catch me and beat him up. Last time he was beaten badly by me."

Tang Yue couldn't help but think of King Rui's miserable appearance last time. She acted a little harder, as if her arm was still red and swollen today.

At that time, she was concerned about King Rui's face, so she didn't slap her face harshly. Today, his face has recovered, and he didn't make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

There was a sudden commotion in the convoy, and the two of them were very surprised. Who else dared to rush into the royal team?
Hongyu poked her head out to look in front of the convoy, and she was the only concubine who did this.Bai Musi came to her and explained: "It's a woman's home that something happened, please help."

Hong Yu asked him, "How can a woman dare to ask the royal team for help, isn't she afraid of being punished for offense?"

Bai Musi chuckled, "Yeah, how dare she openly rush towards the royal team, and even directly towards King Rui."

In other words, there is going to be a scene where the savior promises his life.

Not long after, the person who disturbed the team was arrested, and King Rui sent an order to continue on his way.

"It seems that King Rui is not a lustful person. If it were King Duan, he would have taken that woman with him long ago. He is the most sympathetic."

Hong Yu's words revealed a sense of going through too many vicissitudes, as if she had encountered such a thing before.

However, the team didn't move forward normally, and a person rushed towards their carriage, shouting as he ran, "Please save me, the nobles in the palace, the little girl didn't collide on purpose."

Behind her was a string of chasing soldiers, and the concubines and carriages on the road hurriedly avoided her.

When rushing to the two people's carriage, the woman's aura suddenly changed, a soft sword came out from her sleeve, and she went straight to the carriage, "Demon girl, I will kill you for Dashang today."

As soon as the point of the sword touched the door curtain of the carriage, the person stopped still, and the point of the sword protruded from her chest.

It was Bai Musi who pierced through the woman with his sword, killing her on the spot.

"It's disrespectful to hit the frame of the imperial concubine."

Hong Yu and Tang Yue lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and they looked at the corpse of the woman in coarse linen on the ground. It was not difficult to see that she had fair skin and a graceful figure.

King Rui rushed over from the front of the team, glanced at the woman lying on the ground, frowned and ordered, "Put away this woman's body and see what evidence is on her."

Bai Musi apologized to King Rui, "I was in a hurry, I killed this woman, and I have no chance to torture the person behind the scenes."

King Rui shook his head and turned the woman's body over, "This woman is agile, and the soldiers are not as good as her. She should be a dead soldier who can be cultivated. There will be highly poisonous things in her mouth. Once she finds something wrong, she will commit suicide by taking poison. If you don't give it to us An opportunity for torture."

The accompanying officials checked, and it was indeed as King Rui said, that there was something highly poisonous in her mouth.

In the evening, Tang Yue noticed that the palace people in the motorcade were whispering, they were all saying that Hong Yu was a fox demon.

Tang Yue realized that this was the role of the assassin.
