Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 177
In the main hall of Zixia Temple, Wang Zhiyuan sat cross-legged on the futon, slightly closing his eyes.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the door of the palace opened. Wang Zhiyuan was startled and opened his eyes.

A man in a black hooded cloak stood in front of the door.

The man stretched out his hand and lifted the hood, revealing a face, it was Princess Taiping!
Wang Zhiyuan was shocked immediately: "Princess."

The princess's face was covered with frost: "You still have the mood to close your eyes and rest here, Di Renjie has already won a big victory!"

Wang Zhiyuan trembled all over: "What?"

The princess said: "Teacher's holy medicine has not been successfully developed, and He Yun and Gao Rujin are in his hands. Once the matter is revealed, you and I will die without a place to die!"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zhiyuan wondered: "Didn't we ask the people from the Demon Sect to get rid of He Yun and Gao Rujin? Why are they still alive?"

The princess said angrily: "I said a long time ago not to rely on them. Now the people from the Demon Sect have disappeared. Once He Yun speaks, our big event will be impossible. We can't wait any longer, we must do it tonight!"

Wang Zhiyuan nodded.

……

At night, an iron rod stood in front of Wu Zetian's bedroom in Shangyang Palace, and lightning flashed frequently. Through the conduction of the iron rod, the current was transmitted to the magnet in front of the bedroom door, emitting bursts of blue flames.

Inside the hall, Wu Zetian stretched long and said to Chunxiang, "I'm going to sleep, you all go down."

Chunxiang handed over the brass hood, Wu Zetian took it, and put it on slowly.

Chunxiang stepped back quickly.

In front of the Tixiang Gate of Shangyang Palace, a carriage came at a high speed. Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang jumped off the carriage and ran towards the palace.

The guard Habayashi shouted: "Stop!"

Di Renjie shouted: "It's me, Di Renjie, report it immediately, and say that I have something urgent to see the emperor!"

The guard nodded and ran away.

Outside Wu Zetian's bedroom, a guard rushed over.

A voice came from the darkness: "Stop!"

The guards stopped, and Chunxiang came out from the side hall: "What are you going to do?"

The guard said: "Mr. Di Guo has something urgent to ask to see the emperor!"

Chunxiang said: "The emperor just fell asleep, and even though he was extremely anxious, he couldn't see her!"

The guard showed a look of embarrassment: "But Di Guolao said that no matter what, the emperor must be woken up!"

Chunxiang snorted softly: "The emperor has been plagued by nightmares recently, and she doesn't have enough sleep. You still dare to wake her up. Don't you want to lose your head?"

The guard stuck out his tongue: "Then, I'll tell Elder Di Guo right away."

With that said, he ran away.

Looking at the back of the guard leaving, Chunxiang showed an inexplicable smile on his face.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Li Yuanfang waited impatiently outside Tixiang Gate.

The guard rushed back and said, "The emperor has fallen asleep and no one is seen. Elder Guo, come back tomorrow."

Di Renjie sighed in despair: "It's over! It's over! It's too late, why didn't I expect..."

Li Yuanfang asked curiously: "What's the matter, what did you think of, my lord?"

Wang Mang secretly counted the time. Thanks to his help, they have already solved the case a few days faster than in the original drama. It stands to reason that they shouldn't have started so soon!

However, seeing Di Renjie's anxious expression didn't seem like a fake. Could it be that they really wanted to do something tonight?

Wang Mang touched a jade tablet in his arms and gritted his teeth: "My lord, do you still remember that the emperor summoned me and Wang Zhiyuan that day?"

Di Renjie turned his head: "Why, Jingyang, do you have a way to meet the emperor?"

Wang Mang took out a jade tablet from his pocket, and said: "After we surveyed the scene, I knew it was a conspiracy against the emperor. Although I didn't know what their purpose was, but that day, after the national teacher Wang Zhiyuan left , I asked the emperor for this jade tablet."

Di Renjie took a look at the jade card, only to see four big characters written on it: "As I bow myself!".

Di Renjie's face changed slightly, and then he patted Wang Mang's shoulder: "Jing Yang, it's all up to you!"

Wang Mang nodded: "I'll go see the emperor right away, you guys wait here!"

Li Yuanfang also patted Wang Mang on the shoulder: "Be careful!"

Wang Mang nodded solemnly.

Qianyifang is the nearest private residence near the imperial palace.

Soon, Wang Mang came to a private house, and he knocked on the door.

After a while, there was a sound of "squeak!", and the door opened.

A head protruded from the door. It was an old man in his sixties. He sized Wang Mang up and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Wang Mang didn't speak, and handed the jade plaque to the old man. The old man took a look, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Quick, please come in!"

said the old man.

Soon, Wang Mang entered the courtyard, and Wang Mang said, "I have something very urgent to see the emperor!"

The old man frowned: "You have to know, joining Beidou, you only have this chance once in your life!"

Wang Mang nodded heavily, and said seriously, "I know!"

The old man looked at Wang Mang's serious face, pondered for a while, and said, "Come with me!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into a wing room first, followed by Wang Mang.

In Wu Zetian's bedroom.

With a soft "click", a wall opened, and a female officer in a red dress who appeared to be in her 20s walked out from inside.

The female officer's appearance is extremely beautiful, her oval face is really like a pearl, and the jade is shining brightly, and there is a bookish air between her brows and eyes.

Wu Ze, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

The female official came slowly, and slowly came to Wu Zetian's side: "Your Majesty, Wang Jingyang said that he has something very urgent to see you!"

Wu Zetian sat up slowly, frowning: "Call!"

"Yes!"

The female officer nodded: "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, the female officer walked to the corner and tapped lightly three times.

Wang Mang followed the old man into a secret passage and walked for a long time.

He looked around quietly, and the surrounding walls were actually illuminated by dense night pearls. Wang Mang couldn't help but secretly stunned: This seems to be more heroic than the King of Yue!

After a while, after turning a corner, the old man led Wang Mang to a small room in the corner.

Wang Mang followed the old man and walked in slowly, only to see a female officer in a red dress who looked to be in her 20s standing inside.

It was the female official who had just been in Wu Zetian's bedroom.

The old man pointed to the female officer and said, "Your Excellency will guide you in the rest of the way."

Wang Mang nodded and cupped his hands: "Thank you!"

The female officer nodded slightly, pointed to a black hood on the table, and said, "You should know the rules, put this hood on."

Wang Mang pondered for a moment, nodded, picked up the black headgear on the table and put it on his head.

The female officer clapped her hands, and a pretty maid came out and began to search Wang Mang, but Wang Mang came in without a weapon.

Soon, the maid nodded slightly to the female officer.

The female officer waved her hand, and the maid pulled Wang Mang out of the small house.

Wang Mang couldn't see anything at this time, and could only be dragged forward slowly by the maid, turning left and right, Wang Mang was also fainted, and he didn't know where he went.

After walking for an unknown distance, Wang Mang finally stopped under the leadership of the maid, and then heard Wu Zetian's voice.

"Take off the hood!"

Wang Mang took off his hood, squinted his eyes a little, and saw the situation clearly after his eyes got used to the light.

He actually came to Wu Zetian's bedroom.

The female officer in the red dress was also standing aside.

Wang Mang hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty King Jingyang!"

Wu Zetian nodded slightly: "There's no need to be too polite! Why do you have to see me tonight?"

Wang Mang stood up, looked around without saying a word.

Wu Zetian smiled: "Tell me, there is no one else around here except Wan'er!"

Wang Mang said: "Your Majesty, this matter is so urgent that I have the courage to use this opportunity to meet you! Duke Di and I found out that someone is going to murder Your Majesty!"

"what!"

Wu Zetian frowned: "Tell me in detail!"

Wang Mang bowed in response: "Gong Di and I discovered during the process of catching ghosts..."
