Zhu Minglang remembered that Nüwa had a guardian contract. Nüwa clearly planned to cut off the hand's connection with Queen Ye and use this "ghost hand" as her guardian spirit!
Seeing Nüwa really tame the moving hand bit by bit, Zhu Minglang was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out.
This was actually possible!!
Zhu Minglang didn't expect that in order to save time, he would let Nüwa have an extra guardian spirit!
This guardian spirit was the hand of the most terrifying existence of the Night Emperor, Queen Ye!
"Master, you can … you can control it. It's very powerful, very powerful, nayayaya." Nüwa spoke like a timid little stuttering girl, but her voice was very pleasant to listen to. She spoke slowly and liked to make "nayayaya" sounds, but it didn't make people impatient.
"Yes, yes, no matter how much you tame it, I still haven't walked out from her master's shadow." Zhu Minglang nodded.
… …
After leaving the Dark Vortex, the four immediately rushed to the Imperial Concubine Pavilion.
They weren't completely sure when Imperial Concubine Zhu died, but arriving early wasn't a bad thing.
The Imperial Concubine Pavilion was still silent, but the guards inside were basically still alive. However, the security wasn't that strict.
After sneaking into the Imperial Concubine Pavilion, Zhu Minglang saw that Imperial Concubine Zhu was alone in her bedroom. She was sitting upright on the chair that Zhao Yuan had previously sat on. The empty bedroom didn't even have a single maid or guard, as if Imperial Concubine Zhu already knew her fate and deliberately sent them all away.
"Why did you lie to me!"
Before Zhu Minglang could think of a way to talk to Imperial Concubine Zhu, a roar came from outside the bedroom. Immediately after, he saw a person wearing a yellow robe push open the door and enter. His eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Imperial Concubine Zhu, who was sitting upright in the empty bedroom!
It was Zhao Yuan!
Zhu Minglang didn't think that he would come at such a bad time. He didn't even have a chance to talk to Imperial Concubine Zhu before Zhao Yuan barged in.
Zhu Minglang hid on a beam, using the Phantom Clothes to conceal his presence.
Zhao Yuan's cultivation was very high, so he couldn't be discovered.
Furthermore, Zhu Minglang had yet to obtain the Jade Blood Sword, and Hong Geng was also not present. They might not be able to take down Zhao Yuan.
"Why did you lie to me? You're clearly not the chosen one. All these years, I've treated you as an immortal concubine, but you've been lying to me. You're nothing!!" Zhao Yuan roared. He was like a crazed beast that wanted to eat Queen Zhu alive!
Imperial Concubine Zhu sat there, her eyes filled with pain.
"So if I'm not the chosen one, does that mean I'm worthless in your eyes?" Zhu Yuzhi asked.
"You know what I want!" Zhao Yuan was furious.
"The god you worship is not a good god. On the contrary, he will destroy the entire Extreme Court. Be rational. You should join forces with the Sky Official to resist the enemy. Don't panic. "Zhu Yuzhi tried to persuade him.
"Zhu Tianguan. Haha, you keep talking about Zhu Tianguan. Why don't you marry him? What are your motives for coming to my side?!" Zhao Yuan was even angrier, especially at the mention of Zhu Tianguan.
"Motives? All these years, I've never harmed you. Is there anyone in this world who knows better than you what my motives are? I won't let you give the jade lamp to a god with ulterior motives, "Zhu Yuzhi said.
"Now, anyone who gets in my way will die. That includes you!" Zhao Yuan said coldly.
"I don't need you to do anything …" As she spoke, Imperial Concubine Zhu gently pulled off the long silk robe covering her body, revealing her wrist.
There was a ghastly wound on her wrist. Blood had already flowed out and dyed the long silk robe she was wearing a bright red. The embroidery on the robe was the Night Orchid. Now, it was dyed blood red!
Zhu Minglang also revealed a look of shock.
In other words, before he'd snuck in, Imperial Concubine Zhu had already cut her wrist!
She allowed her blood to flow, as if she knew she was going to die. But she still wanted to persuade Emperor Zhao Yuan in the last moments of her life.
"What kind of favor did the Zhu Sect give you that you're willing to die for them? But what I want is for you to resist and make things difficult for me. Who are you living for? Zhu Tianguan?! "
"Tomorrow morning, I will lead an army to flatten the Zhu Sect. Since you care so much about Zhu Tianguan, I will fulfill your wish. After you die, I will bury you together. You don't deserve to be my woman! "
Imperial Concubine Zhu's actions didn't win any sympathy from Zhao Yuan. On the contrary, it angered him even more.
"You've really gone mad," Zhu Yuzhi repeated, her eyes filled with pain and disappointment.
"You can't take the lantern jade out of the palace. It'll be found soon. I feel disgusted just by looking at you." Zhao Yuan turned around and strode out of the chamber. "Kill them all. I don't want to see anyone stop her bleeding unless she doesn't want to die!"
Soon, the roars of dragonbeasts came from the Imperial Concubine Pavilion. The guards and maids were being killed one by one by Zhao Yuan's scorpion dragons.
Not long after, the smell of blood drifted in from outside.
Zhao Yuan left the Imperial Concubine Pavilion without a trace of pity. He even killed everyone outside the chamber and didn't allow anyone to step into the empty chamber. Just like that, the blood from Imperial Concubine Zhu's wrist flowed to the ground and her life slipped away bit by bit.
The chamber was particularly quiet, but screams kept coming from outside. Zhu Minglang didn't dare to show himself at this time. After all, the scorpion dragon was a Quasi Dragon King. It was very likely that it could sense his aura. At this time, anything he did would be discovered by Zhao Yuan …
Waiting until it was quiet outside, Zhu Minglang quietly walked out of his hiding place.
He walked towards Imperial Concubine Zhu who was sitting on a chair. Imperial Concubine Zhu looked at Zhu Minglang walking in the darkness, but didn't seem too surprised.
She seemed to have noticed Zhu Minglang's infiltration long ago.
She looked at Zhu Minglang with ripples in her eyes. However, her face was deathly pale and she was extremely weak. If she didn't stop the bleeding and replenish her blood, she would really die.
"I'll help you stop the bleeding." Zhu Minglang took out the dragon saliva of the Immortal Rabbit Dragon.
Imperial Concubine Zhu shook her head and said: "My living is a bad thing for all of you."
"That still can't …"
"I won't live." Zhu Yuzhi had long been indifferent to her own life. In fact, after Zhao Yuan's personality changed, she already knew that she would end up like this.
Zhu Minglang didn't care if Zhu Yuzhi was willing or not. He still gently poured the dragon saliva on her wrist.
The Immortal Rabbit Dragon's healing ability was very strong. Its dragon saliva could quickly heal serious wounds, let alone a cut on the wrist like this.
However, the bleeding didn't stop at all. The wound was even expanding. This made Zhu Minglang panic. He didn't expect his actions to speed up Zhu Yuzhi's death!
"This wound wasn't caused by me," said Imperial Concubine Zhu.
"Then what is it??" Zhu Minglang didn't understand.
"I knew that Zhao Yuan would end up like this, yet I still stayed by his side. I've already broken the oath I made. Letting me live until now is already a kind of mercy," said Imperial Concubine Zhu slowly.
Zhu Minglang frowned. He didn't really understand what Imperial Concubine Zhu was saying.
What kind of weapon caused her wound?
Why did the healing liquid worsen it? What oath did Imperial Concubine Zhu break? Whose oath did she break??
"It's my fault. I should've stopped Zhao Yuan earlier. He's now completely obedient to that god. He won't listen to anyone else," continued Imperial Concubine Zhu.
"Big Auntie hid the jade lamp?" asked Zhu Minglang.
Zhao Yuan came here in a flustered and exasperated manner to find the jade lamp.
However, judging from how easy it was to break in, Imperial Concubine Zhu didn't have any of the Zhu clan's secret guards by her side. It was more likely that Zhao Yuan had placed her under house arrest.
"Yes, this is the last thing I can do for the Zhu clan, but it's just to buy some time," said Zhu Yuzhi.
"Where is it? That god isn't as scary as you think. He's seriously injured and his divine power hasn't recovered. He needs a lot of jade lamp to heal," said Zhu Minglang.
"Most of them have already fallen into that god's hands. I only hid the imperial jade seal made from the ancient jade lamp," said Zhu Yuzhi.
"That's the most important thing!" said Zhu Minglang.
"It's in the room, but you can't take it out of the palace," Zhu Yuzhi glanced at the table next to her. There was an unlit incense burner there.
Zhu Minglang opened the lid of the incense burner. There was a huge imperial jade seal inside!
It was carved from the ancient jade lamp. It was more valuable than the four fragments of the ancient jade lamp that he had obtained before. Moreover, it was a rather complete ancient jade lamp!
So the imperial jade seal of the Jiting Dynasty was the ancient jade lamp!
"Why can't I take it out of the palace?"
"Big Auntie?"
"Big Auntie?"
Zhu Minglang looked at Zhu Yuzhi and saw that she had closed her eyes.
Blood flowed all over the floor. She had no strength left in her body. The moment Zhu Minglang turned around, she fell limply to the ground in a pool of blood!
Zhu Minglang wanted to help her up, but he forcibly restrained himself.
He couldn't let Zhao Yuan know that he was here. Zhu Yuzhi had told him about the imperial jade seal in the end, hoping that he could take the ancient jade lamp away. He couldn't let it fall into the hands of the Sparrow Wolf God!
The wound wasn't caused by herself.
The way the wound was created was quite strange and unbelievable. It couldn't heal!
In the end, it was too late. He didn't see who cut her wrist …
Zhu Minglang glanced at the lifeless Queen Zhu. His eyes were filled with helplessness.
He couldn't stay here for long.
After all, there were still many things to do tonight. He could only think of a way to deal with Queen Zhu next time.
