After saying that, she leapt into the air and grabbed the emperor's corpse on the ground.
Now that Emperor Wuhen had been alerted, it would be very difficult to kill him without alerting anyone.
It would be bad if the battle drew out the grey-robed emperor.
Therefore, she wisely chose to retreat.
"You want to leave?!" The formation around Emperor Wuhen shone brightly, and a bolt of purple-black divine thunder descended from the sky, bombarding Luoshen Lei.
"Purple Sky Thunder Formation!" Luoshen Lei was slightly shocked. She gave up on grabbing the corpse and dodged the attack. A hint of annoyance appeared between her brows. "Very well, you really haven't been idle all these years in order to kill me. You've found a divine thunder that can restrain me!"
She looked at the corpse on the ground reluctantly and had to teleport away.
If she stayed any longer, she would definitely attract the grey-robed emperor!
"Where do you think you're going?" Emperor Wuhen was filled with murderous intent as he teleported away.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment but did not give chase. With Luoshen Lei's strength, he would only be a burden to Emperor Wuhen if he went.
Looking at the emperor's corpse on the ground, his eyes were filled with confusion. "Strange, why did she keep the emperor's corpse? Is this corpse very important? "
Su Yu squatted down to examine it. The corpse's storage device had been taken, and only the corpse was left.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yu put the corpse away.
Then, he walked up to the cup of tea and drew out a drop of colorless, odorless liquid.
"Luoshen Poison? I didn't notice it at all just now, and it's so powerful. I can use it." He wrapped it with his divine power and sealed it in a jade bottle.
Then, he searched around and found the corpse of the dead palace maid in a remote corner.
With a touch of his palm, the palace maid's injuries healed, and her lost vitality and soul miraculously reappeared.
Soon, the palace maid blinked and came back to life.
"Ah? How … how did I fall asleep? Sixth Prince, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I will be punished. "
She had been implicated by Su Yu after all, so it was not a big deal to resurrect her.
"It's fine. Go about your business."
"Thank you for your mercy, Sixth Prince!"
Luoshen Lei, the First Prince! Su Yu clenched his fist. He was not strong enough now, but if he was strong enough, he would make them pay.
An hour later, Emperor Wuhen returned with a livid face.
"You lost him?"
"Yes, he escaped into the earth vein. I don't know where he went."
Another Earth Vein? Su Yu could not help but recall Huan Yue Langjun's memories. The entire underground of the palace was filled with complicated, dried up earth veins.
However, it was also good that she didn't catch up to him. Luoshen Lei's strength was extremely high and it was only because she feared the strength of the royal palace that she chose not to fight. If she really left the territory of the royal palace, Emperor Wuhen would be in danger instead.
"How did you provoke her?" Emperor Wuhen stared at Su Yu with a burning gaze. His gaze was exceptionally sharp.
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so he told the whole story in full detail.
"Hehe, so that's how it is!" Sovereign Wu Hen suddenly let out a sharp laugh. "Well done! So Evil Wolf is her disciple as well! "
Hearing the hatred in her voice, Su Yu could not help but express the confusion in his heart.
"Who is she? The Imperial Palace is such a heavily guarded place, yet she could easily sneak into my mansion? "
Emperor Wuhen stared at Su Yu and said coldly, "She is more familiar with the imperial palace than I am. Traveling freely through the palace is a piece of cake for her!"
Huh? Could it be that she used to be someone from the palace?
"You probably don't know, but just now, you fought with the Eldest Princess of our empire, right?" Emperor Wuhen said softly.
What? The Eldest Princess? The most wanted criminal on the list?
Su Yu could not relate the two's identities together!
"She is the elder sister of the monarch Dongfang Xia, Dongfang Luoshen!"
"When Dongfang Xia ascended to the throne, he killed all the princes except for this elder sister, who was expelled from the Dayu Empire by Dongfang Xia's benevolence."
"But no one would have guessed that she was so ambitious. Not only did she not go far away, but she also stayed in hiding and schemed against Dongfang Xia and his bloodline. She cultivated and created a series of despicable plans against the royal family."
"Huanyue Langjun's abduction of a concubine was one of the most sensational incidents!" Emperor Wuhen's eyes were cold. "Rumor has it that he escaped from the three emperors with ease. But what about the reality? Without the cooperation of a powerful mastermind behind the scenes, how could he, a mere half-step emperor, escape? "
Now that he thought about it carefully, there were many suspicious points. What about the three emperors who guarded the Imperial Palace all year round?
What about Dongfang Xia himself?
Why was there no movement at all?
"The truth is that Dongfang Xia and the three emperors were suddenly entangled. The three emperors were also blocked by a mysterious strong martial artist, which allowed Huanyue Langjun to escape."
It was obvious who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
"Now that the emperor and the two emperors have left the Imperial Palace, that bitch took the opportunity to come again!"
However, Emperor Wuhen laughed heartily. "She was willing to pay any price to break into the Imperial Palace to kill you for Xie Lang. That Xie Lang must be very important to her. You killed him well!"
Xie Lang's crime on the list was that he had raped and killed one of Dongfang Xia's daughters!
That was also a deliberate act of revenge against the royal family.
He did not expect to accidentally kill two of Luoshen Lei's people. Of course, he did not personally kill Xie Lang. It was the work of the North Facing Pearl.
"It's just a feud between a sister and a brother, yet he wants to implicate his concubine and daughter. Although the royal family is heartless, isn't this person's methods a little too cruel?"
"Hehe, do you think that only the concubine and daughter were harmed?" Emperor Wuhen laughed bitterly. "Even those who are related to the royal family cannot escape her methods. My husband, the current emperor's uncle, and Ruchen's mother, Imperial Concubine Xiao Yun, both died tragically at her hands."
She was Princess Ruchen's aunt, so the ones who died were Princess Ruchen's uncle and mother.
It was no wonder that she hated Luoshen Lei so much, and it was no wonder that Princess Ruchen would personally assassinate Huanyue Langjun.
They were all filled with hatred for Luoshen Lei's people.
"Does that mean that she has other subordinates?"
Emperor Wuhen laughed coldly. "Not just other subordinates. Do you know why the wanted list was created? "
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"It was set up specifically for that b * tch. She and her followers are wanted everywhere and no end. Right now, more than half of the criminals on the wanted list are her followers!"
Eh? Isn't this woman's power a little unusual?
How could a princess who had lost her power silently cultivate so many powerhouses?
The most suspicious thing was the matter of Huanyue Langjun. She couldn't have entangled Dongfang Xia and the three Double Crown Emperors alone, could she?
"She has accomplices?" Su Yu asked.
Emperor Wu Han nodded slightly, his expression frighteningly dark. "After this woman was banished, she found a mysterious backer who allowed her to stir up trouble for many years. Otherwise, how could a fallen princess like her have such great abilities?"
"For so many years, the empire has been tracking down the mysterious force that secretly supported her, but there has been no news. The mysterious force is hidden very well and is difficult to discover."
After saying this, Emperor Wuhen comforted him. "But don't worry. Since she failed once, she won't come again for a while. Don't worry too much."
He wasn't worried. If he couldn't beat her, he could easily escape.
"This matter involves the royal family's scandal. Just keep it to yourself, but remember not to spread it." If it hadn't happened today, Su Yu would never have known that the royal family had such a crazy opponent.
"I understand!"
Emperor Wuhen returned to the Princess Mansion and briefly told her what had happened just now.
Hearing the appearance of Wenluo Divine Tears, Princess Ruchen suddenly clenched her fists. The usually muddle-headed Princess Ruchen's eyes were filled with unforgettable hatred. "It's her! This woman killed my mother and uncle, and she still dares to return to the palace! "
Unknowingly, her nails dug into her flesh. Her eyes were filled with hatred and tears of grief. "If I could become the monarch, I would gather the power of the whole nation to annihilate her. But why, why am I so useless? Forget about the position of the crown prince, I might not even be able to keep my life in the future. It's impossible for me to avenge my mother and uncle."
Emperor Wuhen also unwittingly shed bitter tears.
One was an orphan girl, and the other was a widow. They had helped each other in difficult times. It was because they had a common enemy that they had to participate in the intrigue of the royal family and the cruel and bloody fight for the position of crown prince.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to their wishes. The chances of winning the position of crown prince this time were slim.
Unless a miracle happened.
Two days later, before the ruins of the Great Yu.
The Imperial Clan Court was busy handing out tokens to the princes and princesses. That was the proof to allow them to enter the ruins of the Great Yu.
The princes and princesses finally publicly summoned their advisors to their residences, ready to set off.
There were only fifteen people in Princess Ruchen's residence, seven or eight fewer than the previous time.
"Where are they?" Princess Ruchen raised her brows and asked.
A young man close to thirty years old said angrily, "Your Highness, the curly-bearded scholar and his seven colleagues suddenly left without saying goodbye last night. We don't know where they went. We sent people to search for them, but to no avail."
Emperor Wuhen's face darkened. "Did they desert?"
At this moment, the difference in power between the princes and princesses was no longer a secret.
Princess Ruchen was too weak. She was at an extremely disadvantageous position in the fight for the nation's fortune.
It was only a matter of time before they betrayed her.
Princess Ruchen was so angry that she trembled. "A bunch of treacherous bastards! I'll issue a warrant for their arrest and make them pay the price! "
They had signed a contract. Princess Ruchen would help them endure the dao rain, and they would help her seize the nation's fortune.
If they broke the contract, they would have to compensate Princess Ruchen at least ten thousand divine stones. To them, that was almost their entire fortune.
"Haha, why are you so angry, Royal Sister?" The second prince's laughter came from outside the residence.
Then, the guards at the door yelled in shock, followed by the sounds of fighting.
The second prince led a group of people and barged into the princess' residence. He was all smiles.
"Second Royal Brother, how dare you barge into my residence. I'm going to report this to the Imperial Clan Court …" Princess Ruchen's pupils contracted suddenly. She fixed her gaze on the group of people surrounding the second prince, her eyes spewing fire. "The curly-bearded scholar, one-armed iron sword, the prodigal son who has turned back. Why are you with him?"
The curly-bearded scholar was dressed in green scholarly attire. He had a refined air about him. He chuckled. "A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. A wise man submits to circumstances. We are unwilling to be covered in dust and remain unknown under the princess's command. Hence, we've decided to join the second prince!"
The matter was clear!
