It is said that there is a great mystery behind the layout of the palace's foundation, and when powerful aliens enter the palace, they cannot use their spiritual power.
The vicious Mu Qingge is also in the palace. If she instigates Emperor Su Yu to harm Master...
Ran Ran was getting more and more worried. Just then, the little Suzaku jumped onto her head again, jumping around and asking for peanuts.
Ranran looked at the little Suzaku and suddenly her eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't she think of it before!
So she reached out and grabbed a talisman, wrapped it around Suzaku's feet, then patted its head and said, "Be good, go to the largest courtyard in the imperial city and take a look. If my master is in danger, you must come back and inform me immediately. Remember, don't get too close to those soldiers with swords and weapons. I'm afraid that you won't be able to use your skills after entering the imperial city. If you are caught and put in a cage, it will be terrible."
After a lot of earnest instructions, Ran Ran finally let the bird fly away. She then sat cross-legged in her room, communicating with the Vermillion Bird, and seeing the situation in the palace clearly through the bird's eyes.
The little Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and quickly flew over the ridge of the tall roof. With the help of its bird's eyes, Ran Ran saw Su Yishui being led by palace servants towards the palace gate.
The little Vermilion Bird was really lively. It circled in the sky from time to time, fluttering around everywhere, and soon flew to the west side of the palace.
Gradually, one could hear some crazy spitting and cursing coming from the palace on the west side.
When the little red bird landed on the branch in front of the window and jumped, Ran Ran could clearly see a woman with disheveled hair smashing things and spitting, "What kind of bullshit panacea is this? Why doesn't the scar on my face heal?"
Ran Ran looked carefully and was shocked, because the woman was Mu Qingge! After so long, the scars on her face still hadn't healed. Although they had scabbed over, they were still dark red, ruining her beautiful face, just like a warm red fan...
Ran Ran remembered that Wei Yan's claws had once ripped open the black dragon's belly, and were naturally stained with the black dragon's blood. She didn't know if it was because of the blood of the spirit beast that Mu Qingge's wounds could not heal for a long time.
But after she gave Qin Xuan the wine ointment, she clearly asked her master, and her master said that the ointment could neutralize the toxicity of the black dragon and heal the wound, right?
Ran Ran tried hard to recall the ointment she had made. It was obviously very effective. Even though she and her senior brother had so many bites from the fairy-eating insects, after applying the ointment, there was not a single scar left.
Why doesn't it work on Mu Qingge?
Ran Ran didn't know that Mu Qingge had thrown away the ointment that Qin Xuanjiu sent her, and for a moment she was wondering what was wrong with her own medicine.
Although she hated Mu Qingge very much, the medicine she gave Qin Xuanjiu was genuine. If Mu Qingge had used it, the wound on her face would at least not have been so bad...
At this time, a palace maid in the room said cautiously: "Madam Zhan, the fennel spring has already cleared the area for you for tomorrow. It is said that the fennel spring has a miraculous effect on healing scars. You should go there more often to soak in the warm water. It will definitely be good for your wounds."
Mu Qingge said coldly: "I'll go and try it. If it doesn't work, I'll kill you!"
Looking out the window, Mu Qingge with disheveled hair was scolding the palace maid. Then thinking that this woman might be liked by the master, Ranran felt really uncomfortable and didn't want to look at her at all.
At this moment, the little Vermilion Bird flapped its wings again and chased after Su Yishui. Finally, it stopped on a branch outside the study and looked inside.
Just as Su Yishui expected, Emperor Su Yu really met the alien Bao Ming, whom he valued very much, in his study.
However, when Su Yishui entered the study, the guards came to search him and told him to wait in the outer room of the study and not to enter the inner room.
At this moment, a gentle male voice came from behind the pearl curtains: "Is it Mr. Bao Ming who is waiting in the outer room?"
Su Yishui lowered his eyes and clasped his fists, saying, "That's right."
Seeing that he did not kowtow, the eunuch beside him said in a shrill voice: "How dare you! You don't even kneel down and pay your respects to His Majesty?"
Su Yishui still stood steadily, with no intention of kneeling. The eunuch beside him was about to make trouble, but the man in the inner room said nonchalantly: "People who practice Taoism originally don't care about wealth and honor. In the eyes of the master, all living beings are equal. I am no different from others, and there is no need for those worldly etiquettes... The master is willing to come, it seems that he agrees with my previous proposal."
Su Yishui lowered his eyes and said, "Now that I have met His Majesty, please tell me your proposal in person to avoid any misunderstandings in the previous correspondence."
The person behind the pearl curtain smiled and said, "Sir, what are you afraid of? Didn't you clearly express in your letter that you have been in love with Mu Qingge for many years and longed to have sex with her? As long as you hand over the Seven Evils Transfiguration Curse, perhaps I will arrange for you to meet. As for whether we can have a romantic relationship, it depends on your ability."
In the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Su Yu highly values his former benefactor Mu Qingge. But at this moment, the man behind the pearl curtain talked about Mu Qingge as if she were an insignificant item that could be given away lightly.
Su Yishui didn't expect that the Leopard Ming he pretended to be was actually a pervert who had always been coveting Mu Qingge's beauty. His brows slightly tightened for a moment.
Even though Mu Ranwu was a fake, she still used Mu Qingge's name. Has she ever thought that the "Xiao Yu" whom she affectionately called was such a despicable man?
He said coldly: "Mu Qingge has always been arrogant, I'm afraid she won't obey your majesty's orders, right?"
The man in the inner room said coldly: "You don't have to worry, just tell me if it's okay or not."
Su Yishui originally came here just to meet Su Yu, but since entering the capital, he had noticed all kinds of things wrong. When he met Su Yu this time, all his guesses were confirmed.
Other things would be fine, but now the man in a high position, as if talking about a prostitute, gave Mu Qingge to such a vulgar man. Su Yishui could only feel his anger uncontrollably, and said in an increasingly cold tone: "Your Majesty is really generous, but I wonder if Mu Qingge had thought that when she helped you to ascend to the throne, she was helping a person who was worse than a pig or a dog!"
After saying this, Su Yishui suddenly moved, rushed into the inner room at lightning speed, and grabbed the man behind the pearl curtain by the neck.
The Bagua foundation of the palace can indeed restrain spiritual energy and supernatural powers. However, Su Yishui began to practice martial arts at the age of seven, and at the age of fourteen, he became a disciple of the great hero Yan Fei, and his martial arts skills were amazing.
So before the people around him could react, he had already jumped up quickly and captured Su Yu.
Capture the bandit and the king. As long as we have Su Yu in our hands, everything else will be easy.
But when Su Yishui looked closely at Su Yu who was trembling in his hands, he couldn't help but be stunned.
His leopard cry was fake, but he didn't expect that the emperor sitting steadily behind the pearl curtain... was also fake!
Although this boy's features resembled Su Yu very much, Su Yishui still recognized him at a glance. He was just a stand-in who looked 70% like him.
At this moment, the doors and windows around the study were suddenly closed. At the same time, thick smoke rose from the four corners of the room, and a burst of laughter came from the light gauze of a dragon chariot outside the room: "I am your uncle after all. You are so disobedient and you fight at the slightest disagreement. You really take after your father..."
Su Yishui's voice came from the study: "When did you find out about my flaws?"
The person in the dragon chariot smiled and said, "The old Feng you have seen is Feng Shisan, the Celestial Eye Immortal Master. The leopard claws that were conjured by the magic trick could not hide his eyes."
Su Yishui said coldly: "So you knew me early on, but you led me here?"
"It's been years since we last met, and I miss you so much. It's time for us to sit down and reminisce about the past. But you're a wild person, so do you mind if I help you calm down?"
As he spoke, the golden symbol in the study room emitted a wisp of green smoke, as if it had its own consciousness, rushing to drill into the cracks in the study room...
At this moment, Su Yishui suddenly broke out from the eaves of the roof, and ran and jumped along the roof using light skills. Looking at the direction he ran, he was heading towards a tall building in the palace.
At this moment, the little Vermilion Bird perched on the branch outside Yu's study blinked its black bean-like eyes and presented the changes in Yu's study to Ranran truthfully.
Little Suzaku wanted to continue watching, but Feng Shisan, with his sinister eyes, glanced at Suzaku and turned his head quickly, his eyes flashing with surprise. He suddenly dived under the tree and jumped up to catch Suzaku.
However, Suzaku flew up early, dodging the many random arrows shot at him at Feng Shisan's command, and quickly flew out of the palace.
When she found that Yu's study was sealed, Ran Ran jumped up anxiously. These people acted quickly and skillfully, and it was obvious that this was a trap that had been set.
The old man with the yin-yang eyes was indeed quite capable. Not only did he recognize his master early on, he was also able to recognize Little Suzaku's disguise.
The master was trapped alone in the dangerous situation of the imperial palace, and he had no spiritual power at this moment. Wouldn't he be at the mercy of others?
When she told the first and second uncles about the situation in the palace, they were both extremely anxious.
Yu Chen immediately glared and said, "Even if I have to break into the palace, I will rescue my master!"
Yu Tong was calmer than her brother. She said in a deep voice, "The master has told me before that if he hasn't returned by the morning of the 1st of the morning, I will have to take you guys away from the capital. After sending you out, I will go to the palace with my brother to save the master."
Gao Cang said in a humming voice: "I will not leave, I will stay and help you save Master!"
For a moment, everyone was full of righteousness, but slowly realized that passion alone could not solve the problem.
This is not an ordinary secular palace, but a dangerous place specially designed for cultivators.
The group of immortals kept in the Alien House are probably just the tip of the iceberg. I don't know how many minions and aliens Su Yu has kept.
If even the master fell into danger, then these unprepared shrimps would be like moths to a flame once they entered the palace and be caught in the same trap, destroying all hope of saving the master.
But she had never met Su Yu, let alone knew him. How could she save her master?
In some aspects, Yu Tong is as stubborn as Qin Xuanjiu. Since her master asked her to send Ran Ran and the others out early in the morning, she would not give any concessions.
However, when they came back yesterday, it seemed that they were also being targeted. At this time, the entire courtyard was surrounded by people and it seemed that Xishan was about to be destroyed.
However, Yutong was not too panicked. She brought everyone to a small courtyard in the house that had been abandoned for a long time, pushed open a cabinet in the house, and a secret entrance to the tunnel appeared behind it.
When going down the tunnel, Ranran discovered that there was a secret room for people to rest.
Looking at the objects covered with dust, perhaps someone had been hiding here many years ago. But when Ran Ran shone a torch over there, he found many scratches on the wall, one after another, which was shocking, as if there was once a trapped beast locked up here.
I walked for a long time along this secret passage that had been dug at who knows when, and when I came out again, I was already outside the capital.
"This is the secret escape tunnel that the master dug 20 years ago. I never thought it would be used today... You should return to the West Mountain first. The master won't allow you to linger on the road."
After Yu Tong finished his instructions, he turned back and left.
Not long after they left the capital, the city gate was finally opened. The gloomy-eyed old Feng was leading people to check one by one, apparently looking for Su Yishui's accomplices.
Ranran felt that her master was very thoughtful and had even made careful arrangements for how they would leave the city. But why was he so confused when it came to himself and rashly fell into the trap of the palace?
But think about it, tigers can sometimes doze off when they are sleepy, and it is possible that the master might be confused for a moment and fall into the emperor's trap.
Thinking of the various strange things she had felt in the capital, the city before her seemed full of unspeakable danger and weirdness.
Even though the master had given clear instructions, she would never abandon the master and run away alone!
Gao Cang and Qiu Xier were also reluctant, but Qiu Xier thought about the rumors in the city and said, "People are being arrested everywhere in the city now. If we go back, we will be trapped... I wonder if we can find Master's friends and see if anyone can help us rescue Master?"
After saying this, they looked at each other. Apart from Zeng Yi from Cha Ming Mountain, the master had almost no friends. Where could he find someone to help him?
Ran Ran actually had an idea long ago. She said calmly, "For now, the only way is for one of us to sneak into the palace again and find out the whereabouts of our master before we can make further plans."
Gao Cang frowned and said, "The palace is impregnable. Even the little Suzaku almost got caught when he flew in. Now that Master has been tricked into entering by the Emperor, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for him to break in again!"
Ran Ran had actually thought of a plan while walking in the tunnel: "It's not a problem if we use an old trick. We can just use Master's trick again."
Qiu Xier blinked her eyes and said, "Are you still going to pretend to be Bao Ming's female disciple?"
Ran Ran shook her head: "I want to dress up as Mu Qingge!"
The emperor's whereabouts are difficult to track, but Mu Qingge, who lives in the West Palace, has a very stable pattern.
When Zhuque was spying yesterday, Ranran accidentally heard that Mu Qingge was going to take a hot spring bath outside the city.
Now the only thing he could do was to try his luck and go find Mu Qingge to see if he could find a breakthrough.
Although the wound on Mu Qingge's face had already healed, she was naturally anxious as she saw it was about to leave a red mark.
It is said that the fennel spring in the south of the capital has the effect of solidifying fat and regenerating skin. With the help of Suzaku, Ran Ran learned about Mu Qingge's itinerary. Waiting for her at the fennel spring would be enough to get rid of her once and for all. At worst, if Mu Qingge could be caught, she could be used to negotiate terms and see if she could be used to exchange Su Yishui with the emperor...
Thinking of this, Ranran took his brothers and sisters and rushed to the Fennel Spring in the south of the city without stopping.
Gao Cang and Qiu Xier now listen to the little sister. If the little sister asks them to stir up a hornet's nest, they will do it without hesitation. Ran Ran's brain is different from that of ordinary people, so they just follow her without thinking.
Su Yu values talents and gives due respect to Empress Zhan.
She was driven by a luxury car, with a long convoy leading the way, and even had three strangers to drive and escort her.
However, this place where the nobles of the capital bathe is not the imperial palace, and no matter how well guarded it is, there will always be dark holes and blind spots.
Yutong originally wanted to use the light body technique to fly over the wall, but Ranran said no.
Su Yu has many aliens under his command, and among the three aliens accompanying him, there might be people with sharp eyes like Feng Shisan. When they sneak in here, it is best not to use spiritual power if possible.
Seeing that the soup house had to carry in cartloads of firewood every day, Ran Ran relied on his small stature to blend into the pile of firewood. Gao Cang and Qiu Xier kept watch outside.
It is easy to sneak into the outer hall of this hot spring house, but it is difficult to approach the west side of the inner hall where Mu Qingge is.
Ranran discovered that the people walking back and forth delivering towels in the hot spring hall were all young and pretty girls, so she swayed her body, floated lightly into the servants' room, changed into a maid's uniform, and then quietly sneaked into the inner side of the bathroom steam room holding the towel.
Her light body skills have now reached the stage of perfection. Even without the spiritual energy, her steps are still light, and she relies on clever positioning, floating like a feather, avoiding the guards and sneaking into the open-air bath where Mu Qingge is soaking.
Master Mu seemed to dislike being disturbed and was closing her eyes to rest, but when Ran Ran came in, she immediately noticed something.
He waved his hand to mobilize the sword placed beside him, letting the sword fly with the wind and attack Ranran directly.
If it were in the past, Ranran would definitely not be able to avoid this sword and would have been pierced by it at that time.
But now, when Ran Ran looked at the sword that was speeding towards him, it was as if he was looking at a goose feather that was slowly approaching him. Without thinking, he reached out and clamped the sword with two long fingers.
When she caught the sword steadily, she was stunned for a moment: How come Master Mu is weaker than when he was on Tianmai Mountain?
When Xue Ranran flicked away the sword and put his small dagger against Master Mu's throat, Master Mu's eyes widened with disbelief.
Although Mu Ranran passed the marrow washing pool, it is impossible for her to surpass her by so much!
"How did you sneak in?"
Ran Ran whispered, "Hello, Immortal Master. My blade is poisonous. If you move too much and accidentally cut your skin, I'm afraid you'll have more wounds on your face."
Mu Ranwu stared at Ran Ran and forced a smile, "What do you want to do?"
Ran Ran took out the golden talisman and slapped it on Mu Ran Wu's forehead, making her unable to move easily. Then he went straight to the point and asked, "Where did the old emperor lock my master up?"
Mu Ranwu was stunned: "What are you talking about? Su Yishui was arrested by the emperor?"
Obviously, she didn't know about this before. After a moment of stunned silence, she smiled in relief: "My God, Su Yishui would be so stupid as to run into Su Yu's knife?"
Ran Ran blinked and looked at her, whispering: "If you laugh too loudly, your face will get hurt by the knife..."
Mu Ranwu finally stopped laughing and raised her eyebrows and said, "It was Su Yu who arrested your master. Why are you trying to capture me with a knife? When we were on Tianmai Mountain, I had no choice. In order to get rid of the resentment that Wei Yan had placed on me, I had to get the help of the Marrow Washing Pool. If I have let you down in any way, you have to be understanding and tolerant!"
Ran Ran didn't listen to her empty words. She said softly, "I came here to ask the immortal master to help me rescue my master."
Mu Ranwu sneered and said insincerely, "Okay, I promise, you have to untie it for me first."
However, Ran Ran took out another set of mantras and pasted it on Master Mu's face again: "I'm really sorry, you are used to lying. I'll put this on you and ask you again, so I feel more at ease."
After that, she asked, "You really don't know that my master was arrested?"
Mu Ranwu's face turned pale, but he said honestly: "I really don't know, I just heard that some assassin seemed to have entered the palace yesterday, and there was a commotion for a while..."
Ran Ran asked again: "Do you know where the captured assassin is being held?"
Although Mu Ranwu didn't want to say it, she still told him everything because she had the mantra talisman on her: "If Su Yishui had really been captured last night, I think Su Yu would still have detained him in the palace. After all, only the palace's special feng shui can suppress his spiritual power."
Ran Ran asked again: "Will you help me save my master?"
The scar on Mu Ranwu's cheek was twitching slightly: "I won't save him. He doesn't have me in his heart at all. He only thinks about you! I wish he could die with you!"
Oh, this answer was beyond Xue Ranran's expectations. She was dumbfounded: How did Master Mu know that she and her master had an affair? And Master Mu's tone was full of jealousy.
Could it be that Master Mu misunderstood what happened between his master and his female disciple, which is why he became jealous and set up a poisonous insect to harm her?
If this was the case, wouldn't she have become a stumbling block to her master's love life? Was she watching a 20-year-long relationship become completely hopeless because of her little apprentice's disruption?
But now was not the time for sentimental relationships, and Xue Ranran had not expected to persuade Mu Ranwu to save her master. She shook her head apologetically and asked, "Do you meet the emperor often?"
Mu Ranwu was already annoyed. Such truthful words were like peeling off her protective shell, but her mouth was out of control. She gritted her teeth and said, "That bastard Su Yu is just using me. How can he see me every day... Damn it!"
Everyone thought that the emperor thought highly of Mu Qingge, so he treated Empress Zhan like a reborn parent. Mu Ranwu was also happy that others thought so, full of the pride of having her vanity satisfied.
But now Mu Ranwu had to reveal herself that she was just a pawn of others, especially in front of Xue Ranran. The shame of losing all face was almost bursting out from the unhealed scars on her face.
