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

A cold light flashed in Yang Guifei's eyes, and she twisted it hard, breaking the black shadow's wrist.

"Ah!" The black shadow let out a scream.

Yang Guifei took the opportunity to snatch the dagger from the black shadow's hand, and then kicked the black shadow to the ground.

She lit the candlestick beside the bed and used the candlelight to see the shadow clearly.

"It's you!" Yang Guifei exclaimed.

This black shadow is actually...

The black shadow turned out to be Shen Xue!

Yang Guifei never imagined that the person who assassinated her was Shen Xue.

"You...were you not caught by the Jinyiwei?" Yang Guifei asked in disbelief.

Shen Xue sneered: "Do you think that those trash can catch me?"

Yang Guifei was shocked, and only then did she realize that Shen Xue's martial arts skills were far better than she had imagined.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Yang Guifei asked with forced calmness.

"Because you deserve to die!" Shen Xue gritted her teeth and said, "You stole the emperor's favor from me, you deserve to die!"

It turns out that Shen Xue has always had a crush on Chu Ze, and she hates Yang Guifei for taking away Chu Ze's love for her.

"You...you are crazy!" Yang Guifei said, "The emperor doesn't love you at all!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Xue roared, "The emperor loves me! He's just bewitched by you!"

Yang Guifei sneered in her heart, she knew that Shen Xue had gone crazy.

"Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish!" Shen Xue said, raising the dagger and stabbing at Yang Guifei again.

This time, Yang Guifei did not dodge.

She knew that even if she dodged the knife, Shen Xue would not let her go.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to fight to the death.

She closed her eyes and waited for death to come.

However, the expected pain did not come.

She opened her eyes, only to see a figure standing in front of her.

It’s Chu Ze!
Chu Ze used his body to block Shen Xue's dagger.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Guifei exclaimed.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Chu Ze's mouth, but he didn't care.

He looked at Shen Xue, his eyes filled with anger.

"Shen Xue, you are so bold that you even dare to assassinate the Imperial Concubine!" Chu Ze roared.

Shen Xue was stunned. She never thought that Chu Ze would actually block the knife for Yang Guifei.

"Your Majesty...why...why are you doing this?" Shen Xue asked tremblingly.

"Because she is my woman!" Chu Ze said, "How can I let you hurt my woman?"

Shen Xue's heart was completely broken.

She always thought that Chu Ze loved her.

But now, she realized that she had been wrong all along.

Chu Ze didn't love her at all. He loved Yang Guifei.

"Hahaha..." Shen Xue suddenly laughed, "I'm so stupid, I actually fell in love with a man like you!"

She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.

"Your Majesty, please kill me!" Shen Xue said, "There is no point in me living anymore."

Chu Ze looked at Shen Xue, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

He sighed and said, "Come here, take Shen Xue to the prison and wait for her punishment!"

The guards immediately stepped forward and took Shen Xue away.

Chu Ze turned around and looked at Yang Guifei, his eyes full of concern.

"My dear, are you okay?" Chu Ze asked.

Yang Guifei shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Chu Ze gently stroked Yang Guifei's cheek and said, "I won't let anything happen to you."

Yang Guifei snuggled in Chu Ze's arms, her heart filled with happiness.

She knew that Chu Ze truly loved her.

For her, Chu Ze would even risk his own life.

What else could she not be satisfied with with a man like this?

Chu Ze hugged Yang Guifei tightly, his heart filled with tenderness.

He knew that he had to get rid of the hidden danger of Concubine Liu as soon as possible.

Otherwise, his beloved concubine will be hurt.

He raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Liu Fei, you can't escape!

The next morning, Chu Ze got up early.

He came to the imperial study and began to review memorials.

After reviewing the memorials for a while, he suddenly remembered something.

He immediately summoned the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard said, kneeling on the ground.

"Get up." Chu Ze said, "I want to ask you, do you have any clues about Concubine Liu's whereabouts?"

The Jinyiwei commander hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there are no clues yet."

Chu Ze frowned and said, "Keep tracking, we must find Concubine Liu!"

"I obey your order!" said the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling the Jinyiwei commander to retreat.

After the Jinyiwei commander withdrew, Chu Ze fell into deep thought.

Where is Concubine Liu hiding?
He was puzzled.

Suddenly, he remembered a place.

He immediately stood up and left the imperial study.

The place he was going to was...

Royal mausoleum!

Chu Ze went straight to the royal mausoleum. The guards along the way knelt down to salute him, but he did not look away, with only one thought in his mind: Concubine Liu, what tricks are you playing?
The Royal Mausoleum is located on the dragon vein in the northern suburbs of the capital, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is magnificent. The mausoleum is heavily guarded outside, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach. As the emperor, Chu Ze naturally has no obstacles. He strode straight into the depths of the mausoleum.

Inside the mausoleum, the atmosphere was solemn, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. The tombs of emperors of past dynasties were arranged in an orderly manner, and the stone tablets were engraved with their achievements, telling of their past glory. Chu Ze was not interested in these, and he walked straight to a side hall in the deepest part of the mausoleum.

This side hall was inconspicuous, even a little run-down, and out of tune with the magnificent mausoleum around it. But Chu Ze knew that there was a secret passage hidden here that led to the back garden of the imperial palace.

He pushed open the door of the side hall, and a musty smell hit him. The hall was dimly lit, dusty, and full of cobwebs. Chu Ze frowned, held his breath, and walked in.

The hall was empty except for an ancient well in the center. Chu Ze walked to the well and looked down, only to see that the water was as dark as ink and bottomless.

He knew that this was the entrance to the secret passage.

He jumped into the well without hesitation.

The cold well water instantly surrounded him, and he felt as if he was in endless darkness. But he was not afraid, because he knew that he would see Liu Fei soon.

The bottom of the well was not deep, and Chu Ze landed quickly. He steadied himself and found himself in a narrow passage. Oil lamps were lit on the walls on both sides of the passage, and the dim light illuminated the road ahead.

Chu Ze walked forward along the passage, and after about an incense stick of time, he finally reached the end of the passage.

At the end is a stone door.

Chu Ze pushed open the stone door, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

He found himself in the back garden of the palace.

In the back garden, Concubine Liu was sitting in the pavilion, sipping tea leisurely.

Seeing Chu Ze appear, Liu Fei was not surprised, but instead revealed a charming smile.

"Your Majesty, you are here." Concubine Liu said. (End of this chapter)
