The mother and daughter talked to each other for most of the night, and finally had to separate when the cockcrow sounded.
Watching Concubine Hua slowly sinking into the lake, Princess Qinglan sobbed again.
"Brother Wang, can you really save my mother and concubine?" Princess Qinglan asked.
Wang Rui nodded and said, "As long as she lets go of her obsession with this world, including hatred and concern, I can give her a ride."
"Let go of your obsessions and worries?" Princess Qinglan lowered her head thoughtfully, then turned and left. Wang Rui took the opportunity to remove the barrier. There were some people waiting outside the barrier, including the current emperor and those who thought they were graceful and luxurious.
A woman's temperament does not belong to the emperor.
Wang Rui followed Princess Qinglan and came to the emperor.
"Master Wang, did you set up this barrier last night?" the emperor asked, with a worried look on his face.
Wang Rui nodded and said: "I have been feeling uneasy these days. In order to protect the princess, I sometimes use more cautious methods. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"Well, real people speak from experience, I won't blame you." Then he turned to Princess Qinglan, saw that she looked a little dazed, and took her hand.
"Ah?" Princess Qinglan was startled, and then she noticed the emperor in front of her. She quickly saluted and said, "My father has worried me."
"Oh, it's my father's fault that my son is sad. I should have come here to enjoy the moon with you last night." The emperor said with emotion. Although the luxurious woman beside him also had a smile on her face, Wang Rui noticed that there was nothing in her eyes.
smile.
Princess Qinglan threw herself into the emperor's arms and sobbed, and many people around her also flattered her and wiped away their tears.
"Okay, Your Majesty, since Yongshu is fine, it's better to drive back to the palace as soon as possible. The morning court will begin soon." The noble woman advised.
There was a trace of helplessness in the emperor's eyes, but he still listened to the woman's words, let go of Princess Qinglan and signaled her to return to the palace to rest, and at the same time asked Wang Rui to protect her.
Before leaving, the luxurious woman glanced at Wang Rui, which seemed to have some profound meaning. Wang Rui found that he could not understand this woman. Although she was a noble person, she was just an ordinary person. Why was she so obscured by the clouds?
The feeling inside.
After the group of people dispersed, Wang Rui also returned to his residence. After thinking for a while, he simply sank into the lake to find Concubine Hua and Concubine Li.

First meeting Concubine Hua, Wang Rui asked directly: "Concubine Hua, what is the Queen like?"
"Did you meet the Queen in real life?" Concubine Hua's face became unnatural. After all, the Queen was the mastermind behind the death during life, and she and Concubine Li were both victims.
Wang Rui nodded and said, "I feel like the queen is not simple."
"Yes, it is normal for real people to feel this way. The queen comes from a famous family, and it is said that her ancestor was also a Qi practitioner." Concubine Hua stated.
"Do you know who the Qi Refiner is?" Wang Rui asked.
Concubine Hua shook her head, suddenly pointed to the other side of the lake bottom, and said, "Perhaps Concubine Li knows more details. After all, she took the initiative to seek refuge with the queen in order to frame me."
Wang Rui said goodbye and left, heading to Concubine Li's place.
Li Fei built a simple cave at the bottom of the lake. The furnishings inside looked much more exquisite than Hua Fei's, which was enough to show the difference between the two.
"Wang Zhenren is such a rare visitor, he actually took the initiative to come to my place?" Concubine Li came in all directions, showing the style of a mature woman. Although she is a ghost cultivator at the moment, her body is better preserved than Concubine Hua, and she is no different from a real person.
.
Wang Rui cupped his hands and said, "Concubine Li, can you tell me about the empress?"
Li Fei frowned, sat next to Wang Rui, and said, "Is the real person the Queen of Doubt?"
"A little bit, you and Concubine Hua are actually victims, and Concubine Hua also told me that the queen's ancestor was also a Qi practitioner. I wonder if Concubine Li knows more details?" Wang Rui didn't hide anything, just directly
said.
Li Fei nodded, closed her eyes and meditated for a while. Wang Rui was not in a hurry, tapping his fingers lightly on the stone table, waiting for the other party's reply.
After a long time, Concubine Li said: "I overheard the discussion between the Queen and others. Although I did not listen to the whole story, I happened to hear the person discussing with the Queen remind her not to forget that she is a descendant of the Yin Sect and to take care of the friendship between the same sect. Queen
She nodded and said she understood. Moreover, since I was promoted to Concubine Shu, I noticed that Your Majesty seems to be very dissatisfied with the Queen, but there is nothing I can do about it."
Sure enough, Wang Rui was even more convinced that his feelings about the queen were correct. This woman was definitely not simple.
"Yin Zong?" He had never heard of it and had to find someone to ask.
They said goodbye to Concubine Hua and Concubine Li, and returned to their residence again, because Chen Fuzhi and Chen Qi happened to meet a rather troubled person.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Since he couldn't return from the annoying task for the time being, he left the palace and came to a town on the border between Zhou State and neighboring countries. On the surface, it looked like a small town for ordinary mortals, but in fact it was a trading market for monks.
It can also provide exchange of information.
Before entering the town, he took out a disguise talisman from his storage bag and put it on his chest. Suddenly a burst of brilliance enveloped him, quickly transforming him into a silver-haired old man who looked over fifty years old, and then put on another talisman.
The bamboo hat that blocked the prying eyes of magic entered the market.
Although the disguise talisman and the bamboo hat are not rare items, they are enough to prevent the temptations of monks below the level of Danjie. Besides, the market here is very small, and Danjie monks will basically not appear.
This market was discovered by Chen Fuzhi and Chen Qi. They told him the location and made it convenient for the three of them to conduct some transactions.
Although it was his first time here, Wang Rui was not afraid. After adapting over the past few years, his confidence had greatly improved compared to his own days in the Tianzong era, and he no longer had the inferiority complex and helplessness.
If he needs introductions to sects or secrets, he only needs to go to some stalls selling ancient books or secrets on martial arts. There is no need to go to auction houses or the like.
So, he strolled along leisurely, mostly reading, occasionally buying one or two worthless gadgets, and finally came to a stall selling ancient exercises and secrets.
The stall owner is a one-armed middle-aged man with a somewhat slovenly appearance. His hair is tied up and he has a beard. He holds a wine gourd in his other hand and takes a few sips from time to time.
"What do you want to buy?" the man asked.
Wang Rui responded casually: "Just take a look and tell me if you are satisfied with what you see."
"Haha...that's fine." The man didn't mind and continued drinking.
After Wang Rui read the basic Five Elements Kung Fu, he searched specifically for books on sect introductions and secrets. He searched through catalogs, but found that there was no information about the Yin Sect.
He was a little disappointed and stood up to leave.
"I don't think you're here to buy anything, right?" The sloppy man stared at him, his eyes bright, and he didn't seem drunk at all.
Wang Rui could only slightly feel the spiritual power fluctuations on the other person's body, and he judged in his mind that this person's cultivation level was at least similar to his own, and he might even be hiding his strength.
