A scream came from Concubine Li's mouth. Her magic weapon hairpin was hit by Wang Rui's divine lightning. Suddenly, her whole body was covered in smoke and she collapsed limply in the water. Concubine Hua stretched out her arm and grabbed it directly in her hand.
This change frightened Concubine Li and a group of ghosts and ghosts fled in panic and got into the stone door one after another, never daring to come out again.
When Wang Rui saw Concubine Hua's killing intent, he immediately shouted: "Stop, don't touch her."
Concubine Hua and her group of ghosts suddenly looked at each other in confusion, looking at Wang Rui in confusion. They thought he was on their side, but what is the situation now?
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Concubine Hua did not let go, and held Concubine Li's neck with one hand to prevent her from moving.
However, the ghosts around Concubine Hua did not dare to offend Wang Rui. They finally understood that the young Taoist in front of them was too powerful and was no match for him.
Wang Rui came to Concubine Hua and said, "Concubine Hua, it concerns the safety of Princess Qinglan and the palace. I have something to ask her."
"This..." Concubine Hua pondered for a while, and finally agreed. She also knew that she was no match for Wang Rui. Concubine Li was stronger than her, but she was defeated by Wang Rui in a single encounter. The gap was too big.
Wang Rui saw that Concubine Li seemed to have suffered a backlash. It should be that her natal magical weapon was struck by his own lightning finger and suffered huge damage. As a result, it backfired on her body and she was seriously injured.
It's a pity that Wang Rui can't heal Concubine Li. The ghost cultivates evil spirit, death energy and yin energy. He is a pure Yang monk and is completely incompatible with them.
"Concubine Hua, can you heal her first?" Wang Rui looked at Concubine Hua.
The ghosts whispered, and Concubine Hua's face changed for a while, but she finally agreed. She stretched out a palm and pressed it against the hollow of Concubine Li's back, injecting her own evil spirit.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Fei's complexion improved significantly and she woke up.
"You... you... who are you? Did that ruthless man or that old witch send you here?" Concubine Li looked very uneasy when facing the alliance between Wang Rui and Concubine Hua, but she did not dare to resist.
He said that he was injured now, and even if he was not injured, he could not escape.
Wang Rui roughly understood what she meant. The man she mentioned was the current Emperor of Zhou. If the old witch guessed correctly, she should be referring to the current Queen.

"Empress Li Fei, I am a disciple of the Xianmenxu Tianzong. I have been ordered to accept the emperor's commission to protect Princess Qinglan. Let me ask you, a few days ago, the princess accidentally fell into the water, but was it your order?" Wang Rui asked bluntly.
road.
Concubine Li looked stunned, then looked at Concubine Hua who was gnashing her teeth at her, and laughed and said, "Why would you want to accuse me? You think it's me, what else can I say?"
"Quia, you have always been like this, unrepentant." Concubine Hua criticized harshly.
Concubine Li was also unambiguous and retorted: "You are the one who is stubborn and self-righteous, but you don't know that this inner palace is not a place for people like you to live."
"So it's not you?" Although Wang Rui didn't know Concubine Li, there was no need for her to lie in front of her. This woman seemed to understand the game of the harem better than Concubine Hua.
Li Fei replied coldly: "I want to kill Qing Lan. I have already done it. Why wait until today?"
"Who is that? Tell me!" Concubine Hua pressed.
Concubine Li snorted and turned her head away, making Concubine Hua so angry that she wanted to strangle her to death immediately.
Wang Rui stopped again and said: "Empress Li, Empress Hua, and all of you who unfortunately died in vain, if you can help me find out the truth about the attack on the princess, I can promise you to help you.
Leave this place and enter reincarnation again."
"Really?"
"Don't lie to us..."
"I am willing...I am willing..."
The promise made by Wang Rui suddenly surprised all the ghosts. They could not escape and could only linger at the bottom of this cold lake for a long time. Year after year, day after day, until one day, they could no longer bear it and simply
They floated to the surface and were purified by the sunlight. Unfortunately, if they did, they would never be reincarnated.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Li suddenly felt a sense of hope. Although their bodies were dead, their souls were not damaged and they could still enter the path of reincarnation. Unfortunately, no one came to help them, and they gradually became desperate and surly.
"Are you a disciple of the Xutian Sect?" Li Fei asked.
Wang Rui nodded and heard Concubine Li say: "Didn't the Emperor tell you anything else?"
"Wei Chang, what does Concubine Li mean?" Wang Rui asked curiously.
Concubine Li hesitated and said: "I heard from the emperor that
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I remember that when the late emperor was still alive, he also made a request to the Xutian Sect. At that time, he said that there were evil spirits doing evil in the palace. However, your fellow disciples who came at that time were not interested and just stayed for a few days.
After searching everywhere to no avail, he left."
"Evil?" Wang Rui suddenly felt that this mission was indeed not simple. He didn't expect that an ordinary guard mission would trigger some secrets.
Concubine Hua also added at this time: "I have also heard the emperor mention this matter. It is said that mysterious disappearances occurred frequently in the palace at that time, and they were all young and beautiful concubines and maids. On the contrary, the internal servants were not injured. The emperor ascended the throne.
Later, we conducted a secret investigation and found the bodies of several missing concubines and maids. No, strictly speaking, it was not the time, but the skins, real skins."
Wang Rui's eyes jumped, and he immediately thought of the empty skin hanging on the shelf. Could it be that there is really evil in this palace, no, or is it an evil cultivator?
"Then what did the two empresses find on the day the palace fell into the lake?" Wang Rui asked.
"As you said, I heard something from my little maid Awen. While she was wandering around, she overheard the conversation of people in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. When Qinglan was mentioned, it seemed that the people in the pavilion were talking about it.
Some people say she has a mysterious body." Li Fei recalled.
"The body of Xuanyin?" Wang Rui frowned and thought, but he didn't get much. He himself was not knowledgeable and needed to go back and inquire.
Concubine Hua said anxiously: "Sir, my son's safety is out of the way, and I will repay him in the next life by making a grass ring."
Wang Rui laughed it off in his heart and didn't care. Concubine Hua also thought that he didn't understand the ways of the world and used such deceiving words to impress him. Maybe she thought he was a chivalrous man with a sense of justice.
"There is no need for Concubine Hua to be like this. It is my duty to protect Princess Qinglan. Needless to say." Wang Rui's answer made Concubine Hua blush, knowing that the other party had seen through her intentions.
Li Fei on the side shook her head, thinking that her rival was still as innocent as before, but it was a pity that she had lost to her in the first place, which she still feels unwilling to accept.
Tonight was quite fruitful. On the one hand, I learned that there may be evil spirits or evil cultivators in the palace. On the other hand, I learned that Princess Qinglan was probably the body of Xuanyin, and I saw a glimmer of the truth.
