In the palace of Xiliang.
Qi Ruoshui pushed away the sleeping Prince of Xiliang and got off the bed. Her skin was smooth and white, and her posture was graceful. The palace maids by the door could not help blushing.
She glanced indifferently at the sleeping Prince of Xiliang and asked the palace maids to help her put on her clothes.
In order to get the Prince to agree to Tuoba Qiu leading troops to Donglai, she lowered herself and let the Prince approach her. Now that the decree had been passed down, there was no need for her to stay in the palace. There were still many things for her to deal with in the Priest Hall.
It was already dark outside. Qi Ruoshui returned to the Priest Hall in the dark.
The mess in the Priest Hall had been cleaned up. Someone had been repairing the hall overnight. Qi Ruoshui just glanced at it coldly and walked directly in the direction of the dungeon.
In the dungeon, Murong Ke was tied to a wooden cross. His body was already riddled with scars. Wu Ming stood beside him, looking at him coldly.
"Where did your people take Lu Yaoyao?" Wu Ming asked coldly.
Murong Ke smiled. "I was locked up here by you. How would I know where she is?"
"Pavilion Master Murong is a real man." Qi Ruoshui slowly walked down the stairs and looked at Murong Ke coldly. "Others may not know, but you definitely know where Lu Yaoyao is. If you don't want her to be bitten to death by the poison, you'd better send her back."
"It's better to let her be bitten to death than to let her be tortured by you." Murong Ke had seen Ye Zhen's medical skills. He firmly believed that she could cure him, so no matter what Qi Ruoshui said, he would not be swayed.
Qi Ruoshui sneered. "Aren't you deeply in love with her? If she dies, can you get her?"
Murong Ke looked at Qi Ruoshui with a faint smile. "Since when does Yaoyao's life matter so much to the Witch King? Do you think you can command the world just because she is in your hands?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." Qi Ruoshui said lightly. "I will catch him sooner or later. As for you, I won't kill you, but don't think about living a good life."
"The Witch King must be very anxious at this time." Murong Ke's lips curled into a smile. The scars and bloodstains on his face did not cover up his handsome and noble temperament. Instead, they added a bit of evil charm to him. Even Qi Ruoshui felt her heart skip a beat when she saw Murong Ke like this.
However, it was only for a moment. Now, Qi Ruoshui's heart was filled with anger.
"No, I'm not in a hurry." Qi Ruoshui laughed and said, "The ones who should be anxious are you. Lu Yaoyao has been poisoned by the Yin Snake Gu. If she doesn't take the antidote for a day, she will feel uncomfortable all over. If she doesn't take the antidote for three days, she will vomit blood. If she doesn't take the antidote for seven days, she will bleed from her seven orifices. Not to mention the child in her belly, even her life will be in danger. Murong Ke, is this what you want? You saved her from the Priest Hall but killed her.
Murong Ke looked at Qi Ruoshui solemnly, not saying a word.
He didn't know if Yaoyao was really poisoned, but he knew that he absolutely couldn't let Yaoyao come to the Priest Hall again.
Qi Ruoshui looked at him coldly, "Throw him into the Gu Worm Cave, I want to turn you into a Gu Man!"
"Yes." Wu Ming nodded expressionlessly.
"The people of Qian Luosha will definitely come to save him. Don't let them have a chance to take him away from the Priest Hall again." Qi Ruoshui said coldly to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming whispered in agreement.
Jin Shanshan took advantage of the chaos to escape from the Priest Hall. She saw a carriage outside, so she stole the horse and ran out of the Priest Hall.
She didn't know if the Empress could be saved, but she must return to the Wilderness as soon as possible and tell Ye Chunnan everything about the Priest Hall.
Fortunately, the guards of the entire King's City were transferred to the Priest Hall by Qi Ruoshui, so she could go out of the city with a little disguise.
She ran for two days and one night until her horse was exhausted and couldn't run anymore.
Jin Shanshan didn't dare to sleep in the inn. What if there were pursuers sent by Qi Ruoshui? She found a dilapidated temple in the woods and went to the woods to find some wild vegetables and a pheasant before it got dark. She and her horse rested in the dilapidated temple for the night.
Jianjia, who had been following Jin Shanshan, came to the outside of the dilapidated temple. She looked back to make sure that no one was following and was ready to open the door.
Her hand had just touched the door of the dilapidated temple when a strong wind came to her face. Jianjia hurriedly retreated. The other party was also fast and had already punched her.
"Miss Jin, it's me!" Jianjia hurriedly cried.
Hearing the other party's voice, Jin Shanshan, who was full of murderous intent, was stunned and hurriedly withdrew her fist.
"Jianjia!" She looked at the woman in front of her in surprise and recognized that she was Lu Yaoyao's former palace maid.
"It's me." Jianjia immediately said, "Miss Jin, where's the Empress? We're here to find her."
"I don't know if she is still in the Priest Hall now. Who else do you have?" Jin Shanshan pulled Jianjia into the dilapidated temple. "Murong Ke and Qi Ruoshui fought tonight. I escaped in the chaos and didn't see the Empress. The Empress told me to tell General Ye everything about the Priest Hall. I'm going to the Wilderness."
Jianjia said, "Hong Ying and Lord Shen are still in the Priest Hall. I don't know if they can save the Empress."
"Qi Ruoshui will not kill the Empress for the time being. Mr. Huangfu is still in the Priest Hall." Jin Shanshan said.
"Since the Empress is still in the Priest Hall, I have to go back." Jianjia said in a low voice, "Miss Jin, there is no news from the Priest Hall yet. You will reach the Wilderness after two more checkpoints. We will definitely save the Empress."
Jin Shanshan frowned and said, "Aren't you going with me?"
"No, I have to go to the Priest Hall to inquire about the news." Jianjia said. Knowing that in addition to them, Murong Ke was also going to save the Empress, she was relieved. If the Empress was not rescued the night before yesterday, she believed that Murong Ke would go to the Priest Hall again.
As long as the Priest Hall was in chaos again, they could save the Empress.
Jin Shanshan said, "Then I'll go back with you."
"No, Miss Jin, General Ye still knows nothing about the Priest Hall. You must go to the Wilderness first and tell General Ye everything here." Jianjia said, "What's more, this is the Empress's order. It must be useful for you to do this."
"Well, be careful." Jin Shanshan said to Jianjia in a low voice.
Jianjia took out a road sign from her bosom, "This is the road sign of each checkpoint in Western Liang. The closer you are to the Wilderness, the stricter the inspection. Take it."
Jin Shanshan did not stand on ceremony with her. He took the road sign and said, "Well, I will definitely rush to the Wilderness and tell General Ye everything about the Priest Hall."
"Then I'll go back first. Take care." Jianjia nodded to Jin Shanshan. She still had to find Hong Ying and Shen Yi. She did not know if they could save the Empress.
