Chapter 535 When I Woke up From the Dream, the Black Tower Disappeared

Wang Ruyi stood with her sword in her arms. It was quiet all around, but she dared not let down her guard. As smart as she was, she realized that the word "mysterious" in the mysterious mouth was not referring to herself, but to Li Changxiao who was still in the tower, fighting with Ji Beiming.

More than mysterious.

It was simply unpredictable.

Wang Ruyi sighed and stroked the sword. Seeing the fluctuations on the sword dissipate, her heart gradually calmed down. She was an emperor, but she didn't know the undercurrent. Even if she could see a little, it was just a little bit.

She sat back in the study and looked up at the pagoda. There was no one around, and her thoughts drifted far away. She was now the emperor of the world, and she was finally in her place.

Would it be like this, and she would never see him again?

Wang Ruyi's heart suddenly became empty, and she was at a loss for a moment. It was just that she was wearing an imperial skirt, and 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 those eyes made those who harbored evil intentions panic in their hearts.

The next day.

After a few days of light rain, only a few stars remained, still floating in the sky. Today, a big event happened in Dayu. The current emperor personally ordered that the prisoners should be strictly guarded, but they disappeared for no reason last night.

Disappeared without a trace, Wang Ruyi learned the news and immediately lifted the emperor's skirt and walked quickly to the sky prison. Seeing that the news was true, her face was ugly and ordered a city-wide search.

She didn't really 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 unbearable. Wang Ruyi couldn't resist the desire to retaliate against such a person. If it weren't for some concerns, Wang Ruyi would have ordered to kill her with a knife.

"This little one has escaped. What should we do with the mausoleum?" Wang Ruyi paced back and forth anxiously, clapping his fists together.

After thinking for half a day, he could not come to any conclusion. Since this matter was serious, Wang Ruyi used 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, because this Dao could not do without the support of secular gold and silver, and most of those who practiced this Dao were not in their prime and their lifespans were approaching.

Wang Ruyi sent four people, all of whom were from Tianji Dao, to investigate the matter strictly, and gave them great power. Everything in the city had to cooperate with the dispatch of the four people. Anyone who violated the order would be killed.

The investigation was in full swing.

But no result was obtained.

...

On the other side, two black shadows quietly left the city. The two did not stop and went straight into the depths of the forest.

When there was no one around, he took off his hood. One was a man with a rough face and a slanted scar on his right eye, which was always half-closed.

One was a woman with scratches all over her face, and her face was almost invisible, but her eyes allowed strong desires to burst out. She looked directly at the other person with a trace of reliance.

"The mermaids are really trash."

The man spat coldly and left with Xiao Zhen.

"Where to?" Xiao Zhen asked.

"Go where you should go." The man said coldly.

Xiao Zhen asked tentatively, unable to hide her joy in her heart, "Imperial... Palace?"

→

"Altar." The man left without looking back, with a bit of contempt in his voice.

It was already a certain time, 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, if he put himself in it, the grand plan he had planned for decades would be in vain.

To be on the safe side, we can only use unconventional methods...

"Altar?" Xiaozhen was puzzled, but the coldness of the man made her feel a little painful. She immediately resisted with her whole body and shouted that she wanted to go to the palace.

Seeing this, the man grabbed her wrist with one hand and almost dragged her to the depths of the forest. No matter how Xiaozhen screamed, it was useless.

It was already dark and deep.

Xiaozhen's shrill screams added 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 really come to an end.

The undercurrent subsided, and Wang Ruyi handled state affairs. Several days passed while he worked diligently. Because of his diligence, since returning to the throne, he wanted to rectify the court atmosphere and increase his power and ask about everything.

As a result, he was extremely busy. He got up early every day, dressed up, put on makeup, combed his long hair, and put on the imperial skirt. It took more than half an hour to wash and dress up. Then, he wore a dignified and decent dress that showed the majesty of the emperor, held court meetings with the ministers, handled official business, and reviewed some memorials.

He was exhausted and more tired than when he was wandering around. Sometimes he thought that if there was an emperor who was diligent and loved the people, he would replace him. Compared with the gorgeous and solemn imperial skirt, the dress like the one worn in the rainy rivers and lakes was more comfortable and more comfortable.

If I recall it again.

I found that this imperial skirt was different from the body-covering robe. Once put on, he looked like a cold emperor. No one cared about his real name. The one that the people worshipped and the ministers feared was not Wang Ruyi, but Emperor Dayu. Wang Ruyi knew this very well, and he felt lonely. Wang Ruyi looked in the mirror and found herself cold and frowning. She told strangers not to approach her. She also saw the ministers kneeling down in fear. She thought that being with the emperor was like being with a tiger.

She rubbed her cheeks. It was not a disguise, but everyone has two sides. In the busy life, the days passed one by one. One day, she had a rare leisure time because of the idleness of the court affairs. She looked up occasionally, and her heart was suddenly empty.

The black tower disappeared.

She didn't know when it disappeared. She 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 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 just disappeared.

Most of them were guesses.

Wang Ruyi sat in the temple, leaning back, listening to the ministers arguing and refuting. She felt powerless in her heart. She rubbed her temples and stopped and let the ministers go back.

Sitting alone on the dragon throne, she was in a trance...

Suddenly she remembered the undercurrent, the twists and turns, the road to stripping of reputation, and the fame of Hongxiu...

Everything was just like a dream. Once she woke up, it seemed to disappear like smoke.

Now, she is just the emperor of Dayu.
