Chapter 572: Escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion



"Brother, things seem to be going on in the palace lately!"

"That's right, it's all because of the commotion at the Queen Mother's place."

"That bastard Lao Ai has taken possession of so many palace maids, yet the Queen Mother still favors him!"

"I heard that several of the emperor's concubines have been taken away!"

"That's right. A few days ago, one of my brothers saw Lao Ai chatting happily with two concubines on the grass in the back garden. I guess he's up to no good!"

"There's nothing we can do. They're practicing the art of harmony, so people like us can only sigh in despair. There are tens of thousands of women in the palace, and the emperor is diligently working on government affairs every day. He has no time to manage the harem, yet Lao Ai has become the overlord of the palace! It's really sad!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this kind of thing. Many palace maids have had affairs with Lao Ai. If these women hear about it, then we two may not see the sun tomorrow!"

"What are you afraid of? I heard that the emperor has already started preparing to deal with Lu Buwei. As long as Lu Buwei is eliminated, the next one to suffer will be Lao Ai!"

"The Prime Minister has never failed since the founding of the country. Your Majesty wants to completely eliminate the Prime Minister, but this is basically impossible!"

"Who knows? It's said that General Bai Qi has already sent troops to the six kingdoms. If the six kingdoms are destroyed, the prime minister's position will be in jeopardy! After all, the six kingdoms are the prime minister's real trump card! Otherwise, why hasn't the emperor taken action against the prime minister yet?"

"It's hard to say. The Prime Minister has a cooperative relationship with the six kingdoms. He once considered destroying them, but now his biggest enemy is the Emperor, so he has changed his strategy. It's still unknown who will win or lose."

The two guards guarding the door of Guangming Palace were bored and talked about things inside and outside the palace. The protagonists were still the emperor, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai. After all, these three people were fighting for the real power of the Qin Empire. It was a mystery who would win in the end!

Long Junhai listened to all this, but at most he just treated it as a story. He had already known the ending in the previous low-dimensional world, and he estimated that the ending in this high-dimensional world would not be too different.

According to Long Junhai's own analysis, although Lao Ai was cunning, he was not as powerful as Lu Buwei. However, Lu Buwei was the emperor's main target and was under great suppression everywhere, so it was difficult to say who would be eliminated first.

When no one was paying attention, Long Junhai took advantage of the breeze and flew to the front of the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue was dignified and majestic, magnificent and golden, and decorated with various jewels, which looked particularly beautiful.

However, what Long Junhai cared about was not the Buddha statue, but the lotus throne underneath. The lotus throne looked normal on the outside, but there were indeed a large number of runes inside. These were the kind of runes used specifically for teleportation, but they were much more profound. Long Junhai couldn't figure out what the structure of this teleportation array was, so he could only write down all these runes first, and then go back and slowly figure them out. Maybe he could find some flaws!

Long Junhai stayed in front of this Buddha statue for more than half a month and finally figured out all the runes on the lotus throne. He has recorded all the runes, and the only thing left is to comprehend them.

During this period, Long Junhai encountered the queen mother bringing people to pay homage twice. The queen mother was the incarnation of Lao Ai. If Long Junhai had not seen it with his own eyes before, he really would not be able to tell that the queen mother was the other party's incarnation.

Long Junhai took the opportunity to leave Guangming Palace, and more than two months had passed when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

During this period, Lu Buwei came once, but he didn't notice any clues about Wan Qingsi. It was said that he was very happy because he had now reached a very high level of practice. It only took him ten breaths to absorb a divine power, which was not much different from Long Junhai. It can be seen that he really put a lot of effort into research these days!

Long Junhai took a deep breath and said to Leng Yu, "When Lü Buwei feels good about himself, he will probably sell me to the emperor. Then we might be separated. So I think it would be best for me to escape from here within a month. What do you think?"

"Escape within a month? Are you sure you can succeed?" Leng Yu couldn't help asking.

"I'm not sure, but I have to give it a try. How can it work without trying?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.

Leng Yu remained silent, then finally said with a smile: "Well, since we are already in the same boat, then I can only deal with it positively."

"Haha, have you accepted your fate? Don't be so depressed. The road of life has no end. As long as you work hard, you will always have a life without regrets. No matter what the final outcome is, we must give it a try!" Long Junhai encouraged with a smile.

The reason why Long Junhai wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion so anxiously was that he felt that Lu Buwei must be preparing to take action against him in the near future, so he had to take action in advance no matter what!

In the following month, Long Junhai also began to frantically ponder and practice the Great Light Sutra. All he could do was to keep pondering, hoping for a bigger breakthrough. After all, his strength was not strong enough, and his accumulation was not enough, so he could only make up for it in terms of breakthroughs, because his only advantage was that he understood the deeper meaning of the Great Light Sutra.

A month passed in a blink of an eye. Long Junhai decided to take Leng Yu away with him. If he let the other party enter his space ring, he would not be able to leave this place quickly, but if he let Leng Yu leave, it would be very easy for others to see the clues.

Finally, Long Junhai said, "I have a risky method with a higher chance of success! Are you willing to give it a try?"

"It has come to this. Are you going to let me just sit there and wait to die?" Leng Yu said with a smile.

"That's good. I want to help you transform into Lu Buwei's appearance. After all, no matter whether the other party is hiding in a secret room or out on business, no one dares to stop us. We just need to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Otherwise, if I let you hide in my space ring, people will soon discover the problem here." Long Junhai said with a smile.

"You are really brave enough, but your idea is very feasible. As long as the prime minister appears in the mansion, no one will dare to ask about his affairs, and no one will stop him, so we can go ahead without any obstacles." Leng Yu felt that although this method was dangerous, the probability of success was very high, so he agreed.

Long Junhai immediately released his soul power to help Leng Yu change his soul breath. Leng Yu himself also knew how to change his appearance, and he easily changed into the appearance of Lu Buwei.

At this moment, Long Junhai turned into a speck of dust and attached to Leng Yu's body, and then the two of them quickly left the small courtyard.

This was probably the most thrilling journey Leng Yu had ever taken in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When she left the gate very smoothly, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
