Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

He felt extremely lonely and isolated.

Suddenly, he remembered the scene when Wang Yuyan was taken away by the guards during the day.

Wang Yuyan's eyes were filled with resentment and resentment, but she never admitted that she had killed the Queen Mother.

Could it be that she is really not the murderer?

This thought flashed through Chu Ze's mind, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Apart from Wang Yuyan, who else would harm the Queen Mother?
Chu Ze tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He simply stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a memorial and started reading.

The memorials contained reports from officials from all over the country on the disaster and the people’s sentiments.

Looking at the shocking words on the memorial, Chu Ze felt even heavier in his heart.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused the people to suffer. As an emperor, the burden on his shoulders is so heavy!
He must find out the truth about the Queen Mother's murder as soon as possible and stabilize the court so that he can better govern the country and benefit the people.

Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes.

He decided to go to the Dali Temple early tomorrow morning to interrogate Wang Yuyan in person.

He must find out the truth and give an explanation to the Queen Mother and the people of the world!
The next morning, Chu Ze arrived at the Dali Temple early.

The Dali Temple Minister had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite." Chu Ze said calmly, "Take me to see Wang Yuyan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Dali Temple Minister brought Chu Ze to the cell where Wang Yuyan was imprisoned.

In the cell, Wang Yuyan was unkempt, her clothes ragged, and there was no trace of the elegance of the former imperial concubine.

When she saw Chu Ze, a gleam of resentment flashed in Wang Yuyan's eyes.

"Chu Ze, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Wang Yuyan said with a sneer.

Chu Ze looked at Wang Yuyan with mixed feelings.

Once upon a time, she was so gentle and beautiful, but now, she has become like this.

"Wang Yuyan, I'll ask you one last time, did you kill the Queen Mother?" Chu Ze's voice was low and powerful.

Wang Yuyan laughed loudly towards the sky, her laughter was shrill and desperate.

“Hahaha… Chu Ze, don’t you understand now? You have been deceived by her! She is not a good person at all! She is…”

Before Wang Yuyan could finish her words, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"Wang Yuyan!" Chu Ze was shocked and rushed forward to check.

However, Wang Yuyan was no longer breathing.

She is dead.

Chu Ze's mind went blank.

He could never have imagined that Wang Yuyan would suddenly die.

Could it be that she really has something to hide?

And what did she want to say before she died?
All of this has become an unsolved mystery.

Chu Ze sat on the ground dejectedly. Wang Yuyan's death caught him off guard. He felt like a puppet, being manipulated by fate. The death of the Queen Mother and Wang Yuyan were like two huge mountains that made him breathless.

The Dali Temple Minister stood aside cautiously, not daring to breathe. He knew that the Emperor was in extreme grief and anger at the moment.

"Someone, please give Wang Yuyan's body a proper burial." Chu Ze's voice was hoarse and weak.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Ze stood up and staggered out of the cell. He walked aimlessly in the corridors of the palace, and Wang Yuyan's figure kept flashing before his eyes.

Once, she was so charming and lovely, and her every smile touched his heart. But now, she has passed away, and the two of them are separated by the Yin and Yang.

Chu Ze's heart was filled with regret and self-blame. If he had discovered Wang Yuyan's abnormality earlier, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.

He walked to the Imperial Garden and looked at the colorful flowers, but he could not feel a trace of joy. "Your Majesty, are you okay?" Eunuch Fu asked with concern.

Chu Ze shook his head and said nothing.

Eunuch Fu sighed. He knew that the Emperor needed time to heal the pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you should go back to your bedroom and rest for a while."

Chu Ze nodded and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

After returning to the bedroom, Chu Ze locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone.

He lay in bed, his mind in a mess. The death of the Queen Mother, the death of Wang Yuyan, the intrigues in the court, the suffering of the people... Everything was like a huge net that tightly entangled him.

He felt extremely tired and confused.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the unfinished words Wang Yuyan said before she died.

"She is not a good person at all! She is..."

Who is she? Who is she trying to talk about?

Chu Ze sat up suddenly, a gleam of light in his eyes.

He realized that there might be other hidden reasons behind Wang Yuyan's death.

And the person she wanted to name before she died might very well be the real murderer of the Queen Mother!

Thinking of this, Chu Ze could no longer remain calm. He immediately stood up, changed into casual clothes, and quietly left the palace.

He wants to find out the truth, avenge the Queen Mother and Wang Yuyan!
As night fell, the streets and alleys of the capital were brightly lit. Chu Ze walked alone in the bustling crowd, his heart full of determination.

He came to a restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and started eating slowly.

While he was eating, he observed the people around him.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a corner.

There sat a man dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The man in black was drinking alone, looking troubled.

Chu Ze's intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this person.

He walked over quietly and sat opposite the man in black.

"My dear brother, it's boring to drink alone. How about we have a drink together?" Chu Ze said with a smile.

The man in black raised his head, glanced at Chu Ze, and said nothing.

"Why, do you look down on me, brother?" Chu Ze continued.

The man in black sneered, "Who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary citizen passing by here and want to find someone to drink with." Chu Ze said lightly.

The man in black looked Chu Ze up and down, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"I don't think you look like a commoner."

Chu Ze smiled and said, "Brother, you are joking. Why don't I look like a commoner?"

"Your temperament and the way you talk are not like an ordinary civilian." The man in black said in a deep voice.

Chu Ze was secretly shocked, it seemed that this man in black was not simple.

"Brother, you have a good eye. I am indeed not an ordinary civilian." Chu Ze no longer concealed, "I am the Ming Emperor Chu Ze."

When the man in black heard Chu Ze's words, he was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"You said you are the emperor? What a joke! Would an emperor come to a place like this to drink alone?"

Chu Ze was not angry, but just smiled faintly, "Believe it or not."

The man in black looked at Chu Ze with suspicion in his eyes.

"If you are really the emperor, then what are you doing here?"

"I came here to investigate a case." Chu Ze's voice was deep and powerful. (End of this chapter)
