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

The eunuchs and maids around looked at each other, thinking: Is your majesty frightened by the fire? The fire was so fierce that even the beams collapsed, and you said it was just a "common fire"?
However, just as Chu Ze finished his words, the burning Kunning Palace suddenly made a loud noise, and the flames suddenly went out, leaving only billowing smoke and a charred ruin.

"See, what did I say?" Chu Ze looked smug, as if he had expected it.

Everyone finally reacted and knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up. He secretly felt lucky that he had added meteorite iron when he built Kunning Palace, otherwise it would be difficult to end the fire today.

But how did the fire start?

There was a cold light in Chu Ze's eyes. He didn't believe that this was just an accident.

"Go check! Find out for me who set the fire!" Chu Ze's tone was cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"According to the order!"

The chief eunuch hurriedly took the order and left, but he secretly groaned in his heart: There are hundreds of people in and outside the Kunning Palace. How easy is it to find out the source of the fire?

Chu Ze ignored the eunuch's difficulties. His mind was already drifting to the Far North. The dragon vein was related to whether he could break the catastrophe and increase his strength. He had to find it as soon as possible!

However, the sudden fire in Kunning Palace forced him to temporarily put his plan to go to the Far North on hold.

At this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen...is missing!"

Chu Ze frowned. The queen is missing? What's going on?

"Where did the queen go?" Chu Ze asked.

The guard shook his head: "I don't know, the Queen disappeared before the fire started."

Chu Ze had an ominous premonition in his heart. The queen disappeared and the Kunning Palace caught fire. Could there be any connection between these two events?
"Keep searching for me! You must find the queen!"

Chu Ze was feeling anxious and uneasy. He felt as if he was covered by an invisible net and everything around him was full of conspiracy and danger.

Just when Chu Ze was getting overwhelmed, the Imperial Master asked to see him again.

"National Master, have you found out anything?" When Chu Ze saw the National Master, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The Imperial Master shook his head, his expression solemn: "Your Majesty, I observed the sky at night and found that the light of the Purple Star has become dimmer, and..."

The Imperial Master paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

"And what?" Chu Ze asked anxiously.

"Moreover, I discovered that next to the Purple Star, a... demon star appeared!"

"Demon star?" Chu Ze was shocked. The appearance of the demon star indicated that a demon would be born and bring disaster to the world.

"What does this evil star mean?" Chu Ze asked.

The Imperial Master pondered for a moment and said, "This demon star represents... a woman."

"Woman?" Chu Ze's heart moved. Could it be that this evil star refers to the queen?

"That's right." The Imperial Master nodded. "This evil star matches the fate of the Empress. I'm worried..."

The Imperial Master did not continue speaking, but Chu Ze already understood what he meant.

Could it be that the queen is the monster that is about to be born?
Chu Ze's heart was filled with doubts and anxieties. He couldn't believe that the queen he loved so much would actually be a monster that brought disaster to the world.

"Master, is there any way to break this problem?" Chu Ze asked.

The Imperial Master shook his head: "This is destiny, and human power cannot go against it. Unless..." "Unless what?"

"Unless... kill the queen!"

At this moment, a eunuch ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty...The Queen...The Queen..."

"What's wrong with her?" Chu Ze's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"The Queen...she appeared...at the city gate!" the eunuch said breathlessly, "and...and beside her...there was...a man...who was covered in black energy!"

The eunuch's voice was shaking so much that he almost cried, "The Queen...she appeared at the city gate! Beside her...there was a man...a man with black energy all over his body!"

Chu Ze felt a chill rushing from his feet to his head, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze. The evil star, the black air, the city gate... all of these were like sharp thorns, piercing his heart fiercely.

"Get ready! City gate!" Chu Ze almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

The imperial chariot sped all the way to the city gate. Chu Ze sat in the chariot, his face terribly gloomy. He held the handrail tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

He couldn't believe that the queen he loved so much was actually the reincarnation of a demon star. What he couldn't accept even more was that she was actually with a man with a black aura all over his body.

Who is that man? What is his relationship with the queen?
Countless questions were churning in Chu Ze's mind, making him feel confused.

When he arrived at the city gate, Chu Ze saw a familiar figure from afar.

The queen was wearing a phoenix robe and standing at the gate. Next to her stood a tall man. The man was dressed in black, with long black hair and a black mask covering his face.

But even so, Chu Ze could still feel the heart-pounding evil aura emanating from the man.

Black gas lingered around the man's body, like a poisonous snake, constantly twisting and rolling.

Chu Ze's heart sank.

He stepped down from the dragon chariot and walked towards the queen step by step.

"Queen, what are you going to do?" Chu Ze's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed anger.

The queen slowly turned around and looked at Chu Ze. There was no expression on her face, and her eyes were empty and numb, as if she had lost her soul.

"Your Majesty." The Queen spoke, her voice was cold and unfamiliar, completely different from her usual gentleness, "I...will leave here."

"Leave?" Chu Ze sneered, "You want to leave with this monster?"

The queen did not answer, but just looked at Chu Ze quietly.

"Why are you doing this?" Chu Ze's voice was filled with pain. "Don't you know how I treat you?"

The queen still didn't speak, but just lowered her head slightly.

"Speak!" Chu Ze roared, and a powerful pressure emanated from him, making it difficult for the guards around him to breathe.

The queen raised her head and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, but soon, they became empty and numb again.

"Your Majesty, I...can't help myself."

"I can't help myself?" Chu Ze laughed in anger, "What a meaning of "I can't help myself"! Do you think I will believe it?"

He turned to look at the man in black, murderous intent in his eyes: "Who are you? Why are you trying to seduce the queen?" (End of this chapter)
