Chapter 48
"Oh, it's the one who doesn't forget to protect the Lord even after death, and the one who wants to prove that Empress Yuan deserves to die."
"more or less."
Qiao Yiqi thought about it, and felt that being with the Queen was no longer of much use, but she was also afraid that if they left like this, it would be a pity for them to reveal other clues.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Huo Chen suddenly said "Hey", "There seems to be something wrong, that little maid said that the matter of witchcraft was framed by the queen, even if she hadn't framed it, it would have nothing to do with her, if it wasn't for her Why did Empress Yuan linger in the palace after decades of death and couldn't bear to leave. The empress said that she had nothing to do with her, if it wasn't for Empress Yuan who framed her brother, how could such a thing happen to her? It's a cycle of karma."
"Little girl said that the Queen Yuan's witchcraft case was done by the Queen or the Queen's relatives?" Qiao Yiqi chewed on this sentence, "So the woman in the Lipin Palace that night was the Queen Yuan?"
"It should be that Empress Yuan doesn't want to leave the palace even if she dies." Huo Chen felt a little emotional, "Tell me, what exactly is she planning in the palace? Can the emperor read hers?"
"People live because they have obsessions, but some people have deep obsessions, so there is no pain when they die. Some people have deep obsessions and want to stay, so there are ghosts. If obsessions are too heavy , will become an irrational ghost."
"Existence is reasonable." Huo Chen said, "If ghosts really exist, then the appearance of ghosts can also be called natural selection among ghosts, survival of the fittest."
"But this will harm a lot of people, won't it? Just like the zombies outside, is it reasonable for them to exist?" Qiao Yiqi retorted.
"...Well, I have to admit that you are right."
"What else did they say?"
"It's still a matter of dispute. But the empress doesn't seem to want to make a big fuss about it. Her current state may scare the emperor to death."
"Does the current empress have something in the hands of that maid?"
"Huh? If it is true that the current empress framed Empress Yuan, then there is indeed something in her hands."
"Then what do you think this maid will do if she wants to threaten the queen? Not to mention her current appearance, the queen behaves quite like a person during the day, will the emperor choose to trust her?" Chen replied, and said to himself: "I don't think so. Compared with a monster who doesn't know whether it is a human or a ghost, a normal person knows how to choose. But what if...even the emperor is not a human?"
His question made Huo Chen stunned for a moment. Indeed, in this dungeon, it is impossible to determine whether it is a human or a ghost. Although they knew last night that the dungeon boss has not completely turned the people in this dungeon into monsters, these are just Just useless clues.
Even so, he still expressed his opinion, "If Empress Yuan is the dungeon boss, then the dungeon with her as the core will not turn the emperor into a monster. The person I love becomes like that."
Qiao Yiqi nodded, that was indeed the case.
While they were talking, the conversation between the two people over there seemed to have collapsed. The little maid in white disappeared from the queen's bedroom, while the faceless queen was roaring in vain, sweeping away the things on the table, Make a crackling sound.
Even Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen who were standing outside felt the sound was deafening.
"Okay, let's go, the queen probably doesn't have any clues here, go back to sleep, I will follow the emperor to Lingyin Temple early in the morning, sleep a little longer." Qiao Yiqi stretched her waist , yawned, sleepy.
"Well, good." Huo Chen hugged him and walked towards his palace.
Neither of the two noticed that there was a woman sitting on the originally lush plane tree. The woman's eyes were dull. Like other monsters, she had no face, but she could be seen at a glance. Two tears of blood flowed. The face that was too dark added a bloody smell to the already stinky cheeks.
The black eyes looked at their figures, and the mouth opened and closed, as if talking about something.
next day
Before the sun rose, the maids and servants in the palace were already busy.
Huo Chen was woken up early, but he didn't wake up the people who were still sleeping on the bed.
Qiao Yiqi was only shaken awake when everything was cleaned up, "Get up, if you don't get up again, you won't be able to go to Lingyin Temple in time."
Qiao Yiqi immediately sat up, but only sat up.
If you look closely, you can still see that neither of his eyes is open.
Huo Chen laughed out loud, and sat by the bed to change his boyfriend's clothes.
Raise your hand when asked to raise your hand, and stretch your legs when asked to stretch your legs, they are so obedient.
Qiao Yiqi's brain didn't start working until his feet were on the ground.
"Why so early. Ah~" He rubbed his eyes to make himself see more clearly.
"It's getting late, the emperor is almost here."
"Oh fine."
As soon as Qiao Yiqi woke up, Huo Chen dragged him to follow the large army. Since he was a servant, he couldn't ride in the carriage, so he could only trot along beside the carriage.
This run drove away all the sleepy bugs in him.
Suoxing Lingyin Temple is located on the outskirts of the imperial city, even with such a mighty royal team, it only took two hours to arrive.
Lingyin Temple is on Lingyin Mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, you must stop the sedan chair and go up the mountain on foot.
The emperor glanced at the mountain and strode up.
It is April, so the peach blossoms in the mountains are also in full bloom.
Peach trees have the function of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding ghosts, so the entire capital is less immune to evil spirits than here.
Walking on the mountain road, even the female relatives of some officials, no matter how well-bred they are, can't help but look at these gorgeous flowers.
The mountain is not very high, and you will reach the top of the mountain after walking for a stick of incense.
In front of the temple gate, the abbot has been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing them coming, he first said: "Amitabha, the poor monk has seen His Majesty."
"Master, please get up quickly." The emperor gave a little support.
Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen stood behind, unable to hear what the people in front were saying.
And Huo Chen didn't want to hear it either, how could there be any joy in hearing about playing with her boyfriend's hands.
I don't know how long they talked, but finally they let everyone in.
The two of them were assigned to a side hall far away from the main entrance. This side hall is close to the peach blossom forest behind the mountain, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers when you enter.
As soon as he put down his things, Ling Luozi came.
Although he was not favored, he couldn't bear to be a man, so his father still brought him here.
The three greeted each other, "How is it? Are the other players here?"
"Well, here we come. They're all outside."
There were two people standing outside Qiao Yiqi's door, he glanced roughly, there were ten people, half of them were left by now.
A man and a woman, one of whom was the newcomer they had seen that morning.
"Chen Yinan." The woman said.
"Li Tianze." The man also introduced himself.
"Is there only two left?"
Huo Chen didn't expect that there were only five of them left in the dungeon.
"Well, some of them were caught by monsters when they went out at night in order to find clues. In the end, they couldn't beat the monsters at all and became one of them. Some of them violated the dungeon rules." Chen Yinan briefly explained.
"Oh? That's really unfortunate." Although Qiao Yiqi said it was unfortunate, there was no pity in Qiao Yiqi's eyes. "I went out on the first night."
"En." Chen Yinan replied, not surprised that he could say it, as long as he lived a few more dungeons, he could guess it.
"It stands to reason... those who can enter the seven-star dungeon are all talented. There is no reason for them not to survive the first day."
Mentioning this, Chen Yinan mocked: "Just entered the dungeon, in addition to the rules given by the system, after testing, they thought that there were only system rules, and they violated the laws here, and were sent to the yamen to beheaded."
Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen looked at each other, "Behead? Didn't escape?"
"No." Chen Yinan felt a little depressed when he mentioned this, "After they entered the yamen, all their abilities and weapons were crushed to death, and they couldn't be used at all."
"In addition to the rules given by the system in this dungeon, the laws in the dungeon are also within the scope of the rules. If you break the law and commit crimes, you will be caught, which will lead to the constraints of the rules. You don't even understand the rules of this dungeon. You are really a bunch of fools. "Ling Luozi explained from the side, and then expressed his opinion.
Qiao Yiqi also nodded to express that he agreed very much, then turned to look at Li Tianze who was silent, "What about you?"
"I'm a newcomer, this is my first copy."
Except for Chen Yinan, the remaining three people were not very surprised.
"Newcomers have to pass the seven-star dungeon? The potential is great." But she was only surprised for a moment, and quickly adjusted her expression. Only talented people will be sent to the high-level dungeon for the first time.
"Since there are five of us left, let's have a good time."
"Ah."
After meeting other players, Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen went to the peach blossom forest at their door.
"Does the Peach Blossom Forest have any meaning in Lingyin Temple?" Huo Chen couldn't figure it out.
Qiao Yiqi didn't speak, and took out the burnt hairpin.
In the dark that night, I could barely see the general condition of the wooden hairpin.Now in the sun, the hairpin looks black, and there is still a faint smell of burning on it.
"The temple is considered by people to be an entrustment of faith, or psychological comfort." Qiao Yiqi rubbed the wooden hairpin in his hand, and said gently, "So the boss of this instance should be inside."
Huo Chen understood, and looked at the peach blossom forest in front of him together.
When the wind blows, the peach blossoms tremble slightly on the tree, and there is a burst of floral fragrance.
The author has something to say:
I'm coming.
