Because of these patterns, it took Master Chen three days to break open the door.
After breaking down the door.
Empress Wanrong looked at Master Chen with a strange smile, "Master, why have you entered my palace?"
Master Chen felt a chill run down his spine. The Empress was possessed by a ghost, and a vengeful one at that. "Ghost, why don't you reveal yourself quickly?"
He muttered incantations, gripped his sword with blood dripping from it, and unleashed a barrage of talismans and peach wood swords at Wanrong.
Wanrong screamed and fell to the ground.
The ghost was driven away quickly, and Master Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After working hard to ensure that the ghost was gone, he guarded the Empress's palace for three days to make sure there were no more ghosts before reporting back to the Emperor.
However, the grand wedding of the emperor and empress was ultimately ruined. There was no wedding night, no audience with the empress dowager, and no homage from the concubines in the harem. Wanrong's title of empress was not worthy of her name.
Rumors circulated in the palace that the empress was a ghost. Even if the empress was not a ghost, being exorcised would still be a stain on her life.
Hearing these words, Wanrong was furious but helpless. The emperor had not yet shared a room with her, nor had the empress dowager seen her. She had barely established herself in the palace before being marginalized.
She could only hope that the emperor would not forget their past relationship.
On that day, under the crabapple blossoms, as red snowflakes gently fell, she met the emperor again. Her beauty was captivating, and her feelings were unforgettable. The emperor was moved and gently picked her up, carrying her straight to his bedchamber. The palace servants followed, spreading the news that the empress was about to rise to power.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the palace, the emperor let go, and the empress fell to the ground, sprawling on her back.
The emperor looked at the empress with a horrified expression: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty!" The Empress covered her mouth and laughed, her gaze strange, her whole demeanor becoming flirtatious and seductive. "To indulge in debauchery in broad daylight is something only a tyrant would do."
A tyrannical ruler!
The emperor was furious. He took a few steps back and said coldly, "Summon the Celestial Master Chen."
The Empress was exorcised again, this time in front of everyone. With her hair disheveled, she was covered in talismans by Master Chen, who sprayed blood all over her face before the exorcism finally stopped.
After finishing all this, Master Chen collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
In his dream, he saw a woman. Although she had beautiful features, she also had a heroic air about her. Her whole body shone with golden light. This combination was extremely strange. It meant that this female ghost had done good deeds for at least thousands of years. She was a benevolent ghost. But how could a benevolent ghost harm people?
Master Chen said coldly, "What kind of ghost are you, and why are you possessing the Empress?"
"Can't the Celestial Master see it?" Linghu Lan chuckled. "The Empress and I have a ten-life bond. She was born to be mine, and she will die to be my ghost. Please choose another Empress for the Emperor."
"The Empress has been reincarnated as a human. Even if you have a romantic relationship with her, you should wait until after her death to discuss justice in the underworld. You shouldn't harm people in the mortal realm. Aren't you afraid that the Ghost Emperor will hold you accountable and you will never have another chance to reincarnate?"
Linghu Lan leisurely took out a ghost lotus flower and played with it in her hand. She turned around and smiled, "Do you think the Ghost Emperor will pursue me?"
When Master Chen first saw Gui Lian, his expression changed. Although he was a Celestial Master in the human world, he was capable of exorcising ghosts and naturally knew some ghosts and spirits. He knew a thing or two about the ghost realm, and Yu Jue's name was well-known even in the human world.
Most importantly, even without Yu Jue, he still couldn't defeat this female ghost.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Although I am a Taoist priest, the emperor and empress are deeply in love. They met and fell in love when they were young. It is not easy to persuade the emperor to choose another empress."
"Don't worry about it, I'll go and persuade them," Linghu Lan said, taking full responsibility.
Master Chen was very suspicious: "You have harmed His Majesty's life and disrupted the nation's fortune. You will be punished by Heaven. Even if the Jade Ghost Lord is behind you, I will still fight you."
Linghu Lan: "..." The male lead's luck is so strong, he has loyal protectors wherever he goes. She laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. I just want to change his empress."
In the end, Linghu Lan and Master Chen reached an agreement: as long as the emperor did not touch the empress, she promised never to appear in the palace again.
