Jin Shanshan held Ye Zhen's hand and walked slowly. "Empress, why is Qi Ruoshui looking for you?"
"She seems to have lost her patience. Most likely, Donglai can't hold on any longer." Ye Zhen said lightly. Although Qi Ruoshui did not say it too clearly, Ye Zhen could guess what happened.
Western Liang was not a powerful country. If Qi Ruoshui did not ally with the Northern Dark Kingdom, she would not be able to fight against the Jin Kingdom. She must be counting on Huangfu Chen to bring her the power of the old dynasty.
"I always have a bad feeling. I have nothing to do these days, so I stay in the house." Ye Zhen whispered to Jin Shanshan.
Jin Shanshan answered in a low voice.
"How is Wanyan Xi?" Ye Zhen asked.
"He woke up again and fell asleep again after taking the medicine." Jin Shanshan whispered, "How much do you think he said is true?"
Ye Zhen smiled. "Most of it is true. I don't know the details. It's not easy for him to leave here. However, if Tuoba Xuanyuan knows that he is in the priest hall, he will definitely come to save him."
Jin Shanshan said, "I have memorized the structure of the priest hall."
"That's good. I will go to Qi Ruoshui tomorrow and ask her to send you back." Ye Zhen said, "She wants me, not you."
"Empress?" Jin Shanshan frowned. How could she leave the Empress alone here?
Ye Zhen said, "Only when you go out can you find a way to save me."
Jin Shanshan nodded. "I understand."
Back at the Purple Silk Courtyard, Ye Zhen saw two strange guards at the door looking at something with their backs to each other. She frowned and felt that the two looked a little strange.
"What are you doing here?" Jin Shanshan asked coldly.
Murong Ke froze when he heard the familiar voice. Teng Ye had turned around in a hurry and saw a strange woman beside Ye Zhen. He smiled and said, "We are patrolling the night."
Ye Zhen looked at the guard who did not turn back. "Are you patrolling the night or guarding here?"
"We will go to other places to patrol now." Teng Ye smiled and took Murong Ke's arm to the other side.
Only then did Murong Ke look back at Ye Zhen, his deep eyes staring at her.
Ye Zhen was slightly startled by his gaze. The guard's eyes gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
"Empress, let's go in." Jin Shanshan said to Ye Zhen.
"Mmm." Ye Zhen nodded gently, glanced at the back of the two guards, then turned and entered the yard.
Here, Ye Zhen did not let any maid serve her. She did everything herself. Anyway, she used to be like this in the Lu family. She let Jin Shanshan go back to his room. She still wanted to read for a while. These books were taken from the study of the priest's hall. Huangfu Chen helped her get them.
There were two books that mentioned witchcraft and voodoo in Western Liang. Ye Zhen was very interested in them. After reading them, she felt that this kind of witchcraft and voodoo were closely related, and the means were cruel. She didn't want to learn them at all.
Was the King of Xiliang poisoned? Ye Zhen wondered if Qi Ruoshui also poisoned her.
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Zhen was shocked. Before she could calm down, the door suddenly creaked open.
"Who is it?" Ye Zhen almost jumped up and hurriedly grabbed the dagger at her hand.
The guard she saw outside just now came in from the darkness. The yellowish light fell on him, drawing a long shadow on the ground.
"What are you doing in here?" Ye Zhen asked sharply.
"Yao Yao, it's me." Murong Ke walked over. His low and deep voice sounded in the quiet night, which made people feel that there was a special charm in his voice.
Ye Zhen looked at him in shock. This man looked like a stranger, but his voice was so familiar. He was Murong Ke!
"Are you all right?" Murong Ke had already come in front of her. He reached for her dagger and gently placed it on the table.
"Murong Ke!" Ye Zhen whispered, "Why are you here?"
"To save you." Murong Ke whispered. He put his hand gently on Ye Zhen's shoulder. "Did Qi Ruoshui hurt you?"
"I'm fine. How did you know I was here?" A trace of warmth flowed in Ye Zhen's heart. She thought he must be no longer in Xiliang. She didn't expect him to come to the priest's hall to save her.
Murong Ke wanted to hold her in his arms, but he restrained his impulse and put his hand down from her shoulder. "Don't talk so much, I'll take you out of here first."
"You sneaked in like this without anyone noticing?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously. When did the guards of the priest's hall become so loose?
"Do you think we can be recognized by others like this?" Murong Ke asked with a smile. "You didn't recognize me either."
Having said that, Ye Zhen still felt that something was wrong. "Murong Ke, and Jin Shanshan, we have to save her."
"Who is Jin Shanshan?" Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and asked. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of fighting came from outside.
"Outside!" Ye Zhen looked at Murong Ke.
Murong Ke's eyes sank. Teng Ye, who was guarding outside, was discovered.
"Stay here, don't go out. I'll go and see." Murong Ke whispered to Ye Zhen.
It was Wu Ming who was fighting with Teng Ye outside. When Murong Ke entered the room, Wu Ming had already appeared.
The entire Ziluo Courtyard had been surrounded by the guards of the priest's hall.
Teng Ye was not Wu Ming's opponent and could barely resist his sword. It was only when Murong Ke saved him that he had a chance to catch his breath.
"We are surrounded. This is a trap." Teng Ye whispered to Murong Ke.
Murong Ke looked coldly at the surrounding guards and Qi Ruoshui, who was standing in the middle of the guards. It turned out that the other party had already known that they had sneaked into the priest's hall.
Ye Zhen came out of the room and saw this scene. Her heart suddenly trembled and she looked at Murong Ke worriedly.
"Coming to the priest's hall again, I wonder if the Sixth Wangye feels at home?" Qi Ruoshui looked at the disguised Murong Ke with a smile.
Murong Ke smiled faintly. "How can I not feel honored that the Witch King treats me so warmly?"
"The Sixth Wangye has been in Western Liang for some time. It was our fault that we didn't greet you when you came to the priest's hall last time. Today, we naturally have to be more enthusiastic." Qi Ruoshui said with a smile, "I've long heard that the Sixth Wangye does not care about trifles. I didn't expect that you would meet your sister-in-law in the middle of the night. It's really impressive."
"This King has been ordered to save the Jin Kingdom's Empress. The Witch King can think whatever he wants." Murong Ke said coldly.
"Ordered?" Qi Ruoshui covered her mouth and laughed. She said mockingly and with a sigh, "I thought that the Pavilion Master of Qian Luosha doesn't worship heaven or earth. Why is even the Emperor of Jin Kingdom afraid?"
Murong Ke's eyes darkened slightly and his whole body exuded a cold murderous aura.
The Pavilion Master of Qian Luosha, Ye Zhen, felt a heavy blow to her chest and looked at Murong Ke in shock.
How could he be the Pavilion Master of Qian Luosha?
She was almost killed by the people of Qian Luosha. It was his order.
Murong Ke had always wanted to kill her.
