Your Majesty, you don't want your secret to be known.

Soon, Chen Hong walked out of the soul flag.

She first glanced around Jingming Temple, and only straightened her back after confirming that the empress had left.

She moved closer to Li Yunshu and asked curiously.

"What's going on between you and the Empress?"

Before entering the Soul Banner, the empress obviously suspected that Li Yunshu had said something to her, which led to the misunderstanding.

She was now very curious about what that thing was.

Naturally, Li Yunshu couldn't tell anyone about what happened that night, let alone tell this outspoken vengeful spirit.

"If you want to be trampled to death by the empress, I can tell you in detail."

Chen Hong's eyes rolled. She saw clearly how Liu Lu was almost crushed.

"I won't listen anymore."

After learning from his mistakes, Li Yunshu pulled his hand out of Chen Hong's arms and at the same time put some distance between them.

“Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.”

However, just as he was about to pull his hand out completely, he paused.

Chen Hong didn't understand.

"what happened?"

Li Yunshu stretched out his palm and placed it on Chen Hong, then squeezed it slightly.

However, what shocked him was that he was as calm as a sage, without any ripples at all.

Chen Hong shrank back and took a step back.

"What are you doing!"

To be honest, she didn't mind having an in-depth communication with Li Yunshu at all.

The other party's spiritual awareness is so powerful that it is a great tonic for her.

Moreover, the resentful spirit's absorption of pure yang is also beneficial to the growth of its own spirit.

Thinking of this, she reached out and grabbed again.

Then, she frowned and stared at Li Yunshu closely.

"There's something wrong with you."

At this time, Li Yunshu had already vaguely guessed what kind of elixir the empress had given him.

After all, he didn't feel anything when facing Chen Hong now.

"The Empress gave me a pill."

Chen Hong didn't react for a moment and just blinked.

After a few breaths, she seemed to have figured out what the elixir was. She opened her mouth wide, her face full of surprise.

After trying again and again, she said seriously.

"It's over. You're just being stubborn."

Li Yunshu: …

……

Fenglin Palace.

When Pei Xuanji came back, Shangguan Shuangyue was already waiting in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Western Zhou Dynasty have already stayed at the Honglu Temple. When do you think they can meet?"

At this moment, the empress's mind was on Shangguan Shuangyue's chest, and she didn't hear what she said at all.

The empress compared the two people's chests and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Shangguan Shuangyue looked up in confusion.

"His Majesty?"

"Huh? What did you just say?"

"The envoy of the Western Zhou Dynasty has already stayed at the Honglu Temple. Your Majesty, do you want to see him?"

"Let's arrange for them to have an audience tomorrow."

Chapter 20 Li Yunshu: Pei Xuanji!

Honglu Temple.

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes was playing with an exquisite dagger in his hand.

"Is the investigation clear?"

An old man at the side nodded and said, "The person who ascended is an old Taoist priest from Jingming Temple. His Taoist name is Duanping. He also has a disciple named Li Yunshu."

"I have never heard of this person. How did he ascend to heaven?"

"This person has been keeping a low profile in the capital, and has always been known to others as a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. No one knows how he ascended to the heavens."

The man in brocade clothes drew out a dagger, his eyes sharp.

"The first person to ascend, the Queen Mother just sent a message, ordering us to find out the secret of ascension."

They originally came to Da Chu for other purposes, but who could have imagined that they would hear about someone's ascension as soon as they arrived in the capital.

This was something that was enough to shock the entire cultivation world, and naturally attracted the attention of various countries.

If one cannot ascend, then his life span will eventually come to an end.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of every cultivator is to ascend.

Not to mention those old monsters who are almost dead but are still stuck in the tribulation period.

This included their queen mother.

The old man looked thoughtful, and then spoke slowly.

"On the night when the old Taoist priest ascended to heaven, the Queen of Great Chu stayed in Jingming Temple for several hours."

"Even if she knew the secret of ascension, she couldn't tell us."

"If we want to know the inside story of Ascension, I'm afraid we can only start with one person."

The man in brocade clothes sheathed the dagger in his hand and slowly uttered three words.

"Li Yunshu."

The old man nodded.

"Besides, he is currently working for the Zhenyi Division, which makes it convenient for us to take action."

……

Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Youde was standing at the desk practicing calligraphy, with the two big characters "洁己" (clean yourself) clearly written on the paper.

At this time, the butler came in.

"Master, there's news from the Zhenyi Division that Liu Lu is dead."

Hearing this, Zhao Youde's hand trembled and the tip of his pen slammed heavily on the paper.

The four big characters "be clean and serve the public" were ruined by the last stroke.

"Liu Lu was in the late Jindan stage, how did he die?"

"It is said that Liu Lu was investigating a case with Li Yunshu and others, and encountered people from the Heavenly Demon Cult, and then was killed."

A glimmer of light ignited in Zhao Youde's eyes.

"What about Li Yunshu?"

"Except Liu Lu, the rest...are not dead."

Zhao Youde took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Has the news you were asked to spread spread?"

The butler nodded.

"Now everyone knows that the person who ascended is Li Yunshu's master. Many people have suspected that he knows the secret of ascension."

"Yes." Zhao Youde nodded with satisfaction, "Since Jingzhao Yinfu can't convict him, we can do it ourselves."

The housekeeper said with some concern.

"Master, he is an imperial envoy after all. If he is found out..."

In fact, he felt that there was something wrong with sending Liu Lu to assassinate Li Yunshu.

In the lobby, Li Yunshu said a few words to Gao Gong and then had him acquitted and released.

Moreover, the empress took action for Li Yunshu, and the matter could not be more obvious.

Once they start, let them find out that they killed Li Yunshu. What kind of crime is it to kill an imperial envoy? "

Beating the imperial envoy would result in the extermination of three generations of the clan. Killing the imperial envoy would be a heinous crime, with the extermination of nine generations of the clan!

The empress has already taken action against Zhao Yi, whether it was as a warning or an attempt to take action against the Zhao family.

Killing Li Yunshu at this time would be like handing someone an advantage.

However, the master was very angry at that time and no one could stop him.

Snapped!

Zhao Youde swept his sleeves and the teacup fell to the ground, splashing tea everywhere.

"How can an imperial envoy who is looking for a toad be called an imperial envoy?"

Thief Li did it on purpose!

He deliberately provoked Yi'er to attack him, and then killed him with a sword.
