Chapter 535: When I Wake Up from the Dream, the Black Tower Disappears
Wang Ruyi stood holding her sword, and although it was quiet, she did not dare to let her guard down. As smart as she was, she realized that the word "mysterious" in the mysterious man's mouth was not referring to her, but to Li Changxiao who was still in the tower, fighting with Ji Beiming.
More than mysterious.
It's simply unpredictable.
Wang Ruyi sighed leisurely and stroked the sword gently. Seeing the vibrations on the sword dissipate, her heart gradually calmed down. She was an emperor, but she didn't know the undercurrents. Even if she had seen a little bit, it was only a small part.
She sat back in the study, raised her eyes and looked towards the pagoda. There was no one around, and her thoughts drifted far away. She was now the emperor of the world, and she had finally returned to her throne.
Will it be like this, never to see each other again?
Wang Ruyi's heart suddenly felt empty, and she was at a loss for a moment. However, with the imperial dress on her body, her emotions seemed to be covered up layer by layer. No matter what she felt in her heart, her face always showed a hint of coldness and majesty.
The sidelong glance in his eyes made those who harbored evil intentions feel terrified.
The next day.
After a few days of light rain, only a few specks of rain remained, still floating in the sky. Today, a major event occurred in Dayu. The prisoner who was ordered by the current emperor to be strictly guarded disappeared last night for no reason.
Disappeared without a trace, Wang Ruyi learned the news, immediately lifted the imperial skirt, and walked quickly to the prison. Seeing that the news was true, his face was grim, and he ordered a city-wide search.
She really didn't care about Xiaozhen's life or death, not because she was broad-minded. Or rather, it had nothing to do with being broad-minded or not.
It was just that the girl Xiaozhen was really not pleasing to the eye. Facing such a person, Wang Ruyi really couldn't resist the desire to retaliate. If he hadn't been concerned about some things, Wang Ruyi would have ordered to kill her with a knife.
"Now that the little guy has escaped, what should we do with the mausoleum?" Wang Ruyi paced back and forth anxiously, clapping his palms and fists together.
After thinking for half a day, he could not come to any conclusion. Since the matter was serious, Wang Ruyi mobilized his own "Secret Pavilion", which was a secret force closely connected with Tianji Dao.
The people of Tianji Dao were also willing to help the empress, so the Dao could not do without the support of worldly gold and silver, and most of those who followed this path were not in their prime and were nearing the end of their lifespan.
Wang Ruyi sent four people, all of whom were from the Tianji Dao, to investigate the matter strictly, and gave them great power. Everything in the city had to be coordinated with the four people. Anyone who violated the order would be executed.
The investigation is in full swing.
But I still couldn't get a result.
……
On the other side, two black shadows quietly left the city. They did not stop and went straight into the depths of the forest.
When there was no one around, he took off his hood. The man was a man with a rough face and a slanted scar on his right eye, which was always half-closed.
One of them was a woman, her face was covered with scratches, her features were almost invisible, but her eyes allowed strong desire to burst out, she looked straight at the other person, holding a trace of cherishing.
"The mermaids are such trash."
The man spat coldly and left with Xiaozhen.
"Where are we going?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"Go where you should go." The man said coldly.
Xiao Zhen asked tentatively, unable to hide her joy, "The... the Imperial Palace?"
"Altar." The man left without looking back, with a hint of contempt in his voice.
It was already so late, and he still couldn't figure out the situation. If he could go back to the depths of the palace and break the emperor's heart, he would be willing to do more. However, the empress was protected by a mysterious man, and he was afraid. If he entered the palace again, he would be involved, and his decades-long plan would be in vain.
To be on the safe side, we can only use unconventional methods...
"Altar?" Xiao Zhen was puzzled, but the coldness emanating from the man made her feel a little painful. Her whole body immediately resisted and she shouted that she only wanted to go to the palace.
Seeing this, the man grabbed her wrist with one hand and almost dragged her into the depths of the forest. No matter how Xiaozhen screamed, it was useless.
It was originally dark and deep all around.
Xiao Zhen's shrill screams added more ghosts to the forest. There were undercurrents in Dayu, otherwise why would Li Changxiao be so cautious.
……
After searching for Xiaozhen for several days without success, Wang Ruyi gave up. With Xiaozhen's disappearance, Dayu seemed to have truly come to an end.
The undercurrent subsided, and Wang Ruyi was handling state affairs, working diligently, and several days passed. Because of his diligence, since returning to the throne, he wanted to rectify the court atmosphere, increase his power, and be involved in everything.
This resulted in her being extremely busy. She had to get up early every day, dress, put on makeup, comb her long hair, and wear an imperial skirt. It took her more than half an hour to wash and dress up. Then, she would wear a dignified and appropriate dress that fully displayed the majesty of an emperor, hold court meetings with her ministers, handle official business, and review memorials.
I was exhausted, more tired than when I was traveling around the world. Sometimes I thought, if there was an emperor who was diligent and caring about his people, he would replace me. Compared with the gorgeous and solemn imperial skirt, the one worn by the drizzle in the rivers and lakes was more comfortable and free.
If I recall again.
What is the difference between this imperial dress and the body-covering robe? Once she puts it on, she becomes like a cold emperor. No one cares about her real name. The one that the people bow down to and the ministers fear is not Wang Ruyi, but the Emperor Dayu. Wang Ruyi knows this very well, and feels even more lonely. Wang Ruyi looks in the mirror and finds that she is cold and frowning. No one should approach her. She also sees the ministers kneeling on the ground in fear. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.
She rubbed her cheeks. It wasn't really a disguise, but everyone has two sides. In the busyness, the days passed one by one. One day, she had a rare moment of leisure. Occasionally, she looked up, and her heart was suddenly empty.
The black tower disappeared.
She didn't know when it disappeared, and was a little panicked. She looked around and found that the Qingping Sword she carried with her seemed to have disappeared long ago. She called the ministers in the court and asked them when the black tower disappeared. The answers she got were also half-answered and there was no definite answer. Some said it disappeared a few days ago, some said it disappeared the day before, and some said it disappeared just now.
It's mostly speculation.
Wang Ruyi sat in the temple, leaning back, listening to the ministers arguing and arguing. She felt powerless in her heart. She rubbed her temples, stopped and asked the ministers to go back.
Sitting alone on the dragon throne, I feel dazed...
Suddenly I remembered the undercurrent, the twists and turns, the road of stripping, the red sleeves of fame...
Everything seemed just like a dream. Once I woke up, everything seemed to disappear like smoke.
Now, she is just the Emperor of Dayu.
