Chu Qian sneered and pinched Lin Yuwan's neck, tightening his grip bit by bit, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Lin Yuwan didn't understand why Chu Qian suddenly wanted to kill her, and her heart sank.
Chu Qian sneered: "Haven't you always wanted my Ah Yu to die? If Ah Yu dies, you should go down and accompany her."
Lin Yuwan felt death approaching her little by little. The palace maids and eunuchs around her were all stunned, but no one dared to pull her away.
At this time, Zhang Wenyao, the chief eunuch beside Chu Qian, walked in and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report from below that a Taoist priest has arrived at the palace gate and claims he has a way to find Empress Lin."
Lin Yushu was already deposed, so he naturally couldn't call her empress. However, His Majesty didn't give her any title after she was deposed, so he just called her Empress Lin.
Chu Qian slowly loosened his hand and looked at Zhang Wenyao: "Why don't you invite him in!"
He took a few steps to leave, but then seemed to remember something. He turned back to look at Lin Yuwan and said, "Pass on my decree. Empress Lin Yuwan is incompetent and has no moral integrity. She has murdered the heir to the throne, framed concubines, and caused chaos in the palace. She is demoted to a talented lady and exiled to the Soft Jade Palace. She is not allowed to leave without my permission."
When Lin Yuwan heard this, her legs went weak, but she knew she couldn't fall down at this moment, otherwise she would be completely finished.
She knelt on the ground, crawled to Chu Qian's feet, and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I just love you. I didn't know that my sister would be gone like this. I..."
She wanted to say that she had saved him, but Chu Qian just tore off the corner of his clothes that she was holding, turned around indifferently without even looking at her.
He felt that there was nothing more to say to Lin Yuwan. The fact that she had lied to him so much was enough to make her die a hundred times.
But Ah Yu hadn't returned yet, and he wanted Ah Yu to deal with this person, and also with him...
As long as A Yu can come back, he can let her do whatever she wants.
Thinking of this, he felt a lingering pain in his heart, as if he was being pricked by tens of thousands of needles. It was not fatal, but very painful.
When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he saw the Taoist priest was already there.
He walked up to the Taoist priest, looked at his sage-like appearance, and asked, "Do you really have a way to find Ah Yu?"
The Taoist stroked his white beard and looked at Chu Qian: "It depends on whether Your Majesty is sincere in wanting to find someone."
Chu Qian looked at the Taoist priest for a long time, then took a step back and bowed deeply to the Taoist priest: "Please show me the direction, Taoist priest."
The Taoist priest looked at Chu Qian, gently waved his whisk, and counted with his fingers: "In the White Jade Capital of Heaven, there are twelve cities and five towers. The immortals touched my head, and I was granted eternal life."
Chu Qian looked at the Taoist priest, not understanding what he meant by this sentence.
The Taoist chuckled softly, a gleam in his eyes. "Your Majesty, don't worry. Baiyujing is where that person lives. On full-moon nights, a cloud ladder will descend from there. If your Majesty is sincere, ascend the cloud ladder, knocking one step at a time, and that person will come to see you."
If your heart is not sincere, then naturally you won't meet that person.
The Taoist looked at Chu Qian and said, "If your Majesty wishes to go, you must be sincere. Otherwise, at daybreak, the cloud ladder will disappear, and your Majesty will fall from the clouds."
The Taoist priest did not say what would happen to a mortal falling from a high cloud, but everyone present was smart and knew it.
Zhang Wenyao stood up and said: "How dare you! Even if Lady Lin has become a fairy, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. How can the Son of Heaven bow down to you?"
Chu Qian said nothing, looking at the Taoist priest: "If I knock with every step, will she see me?"
The Taoist priest said nothing, smiled slightly, and disappeared on the spot.
The system breathed a sigh of relief beside Lin Yushu. Fortunately, it did not embarrass the host.
The system looked at Lin Yushu and asked, "Host, you won't really abandon him from the clouds, right?"
Lin Yushu sat on the soft bed, looking at his body which had completely recovered after taking the medicine from the system mall.
It’s easy to heal those wounds, but how can one’s own heart heal?
She looked down at the Cloud Palace. Chu Qian pursed his lips and stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.
The system's voice sounded again: "Host, what if he doesn't come?"
Lin Yushu smiled nonchalantly: "If you don't want to come, then don't come."
She had never intended to have any contact with Chu Qian in this life. Wouldn't it be good to be a fairy in the clouds? Why would she go down to the mortal world for someone who didn't know what was good for her?
…
On the night of the full moon, Chu Qian looked at the sky. The Taoist priest said that a ladder would descend from the sky, but he didn't know where the ladder would fall.
He could only send people to look for it, but found nothing.
Chu Qian stood in the imperial garden, looking at the full moon in the sky, waiting for the ladder to descend.
The moon gradually came out, and a cloud palace slowly condensed in the sky. The palace was even larger than his Qianqing Palace.
A ladder slowly formed above the palace.
Chu Qian's breathing stagnated. This direction...
The direction is the former residence of the Lin family. After the Lin family members died, the mansion became empty.
No one dares to live there.
Chu Qian hurried to the Lin family. The speed of the ladder's descent gradually increased. When Chu Qian arrived at the Lin Mansion on horseback, the ladder had already landed on the ground.
The fairy above was watching them from the top of the cloud ladder.
Chu Qian took a deep breath, walked to the ladder and wanted to climb it, but just as his foot was about to land, the ladder under his feet slowly dissipated like smoke and fog.
A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly looked up, and sure enough, he saw Lin Yushu looking down at him.
Although the distance was too far and he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, he was very sure that this woman was his Ah Yu.
He looked at the disappearing ladder, stood there at a loss, and looked up at Lin Yushu.
Lin Yushu didn't say anything, and the two of them seemed to be stuck in a stalemate.
Lin Yushu looked at Chu Qian and turned to go back. Chu Qian finally spoke: "Ayu, don't go. What do you want me to do? Just give me a clear indication, okay? I will do it, please..."
Lin Yushu didn't say anything, but just looked down at Chu Qian below, his eyes full of disgust.
Chu Qian's knees slammed down on the ground, and he looked up at Lin Yushu above him: "Ayu, is this okay?"
Lin Yushu looked at him quietly, then turned and left.
Chu Qian looked at the disappearing cloud ladder, his eyes full of despair. Was he unwilling to see him?
Even if he is willing to go up to her step by step, she still doesn't want to see him?
Then why not let him go up, and then let him fall from the clouds and die? That would be fine.
"The fairy has an order, Emperor Chu, will you accept it?"
Chu Qian looked in the direction of the voice. It was a delicate and graceful little fairy child wearing a beautiful bellyband.
He was a little dazed. If he and Ayu had a child, it would probably be this cute!
But that child was strangled to death by his father himself before he even saw this world...
The fairy boy looked at Chu Qian's stunned expression and repeated, "The fairy said that if the Emperor of Chu is willing to kneel down and repent in front of the Lin family's grave, the fairy can allow you to ascend the ladder."
