In a valley north of the royal hunting grounds, Wu Zetian was already waiting.
At this moment, she was standing on a huge rock at the entrance of the valley. She stood on her tiptoes and looked out, her expression filled with anxiety.
Although she knew that Ye Qiu was very strong and had already advanced to the Star Brilliance realm.
But Wu Zetian was well aware of how powerful the Great Tang's experts were.
If he was not careful, even a Star Glory powerhouse would die!
Ye Qiu, oh Ye Qiu, please don't let anything happen to you…
For some reason, the empress felt a tinge of regret.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have allowed Ye Qiu to take the risk. Facing so many experts, if he couldn't escape, there would only be one outcome…Die!
At this moment, a figure flew over from afar.
"Ye Qiu!" Wu Zetian's face lit up.”
Ye Qiu took off the dragon robe from the imposter and handed it to Wu Zetian to change into. He said,"They're right behind us. I'll leave the rest to you.”
Then, he took the imposter and disappeared from Wu Zetian's sight in an instant.
Not long after Ye Qiu disappeared, the experts of the Great Tang also caught up.
When they reached the entrance of the valley, everyone stopped in their tracks.
"Your Majesty?"
Everyone was confused and could not understand the situation.
Sikong Zhen walked forward and bowed respectfully,""Your Majesty, where is that thief?"
"He suddenly felt unwell, so I took the opportunity to hit him. Then he put me down and ran away alone."”
Hearing this, everyone rejoiced in their hearts.
There must be something wrong with the evil person's cultivation technique. Otherwise, why would it suddenly become like this?
His Majesty is safe and sound. It's really fortunate!
Di Renjie's expression darkened. Ye Qiu was powerful and difficult to capture. Now was a good opportunity.
"People of the Supreme Court, follow me and continue to pursue. We must capture the thief!”
After saying that, Di Renjie took the lead and rushed out. A group of experts from the Supreme Court, including Li Yuanfang, followed closely behind.
Worried about her daughter's safety, Yun Tianshu followed suit.
As for Shangguan Wan 'er, Li Jing, Wang Xuance, and the others, they escorted the empress back.
At this point, the Great Tang Empress had regained the throne!
Only Ye Qiu, Yun Ying, and Wu Zetian knew the truth.
Even the mastermind behind the scenes didn't realize that the empress had been replaced.
Other than this, the hunt naturally could not continue.
Wu Zetian returned to the hunting ground under the protection of many experts. She boarded the carriage and returned to the palace.
Just as they were about to set off, a palace maid named Ruo Xuan walked over and whispered to Wu Zetian,"Is His Majesty alright? That lord misses you very much.”
Wu Zetian replied calmly,"I'm fine."”
Then, he returned to the imperial palace.
Once they arrived, Wu Zetian secretly ordered Shangguan Wan 'er to capture Ruo Xuan and throw her into the imperial prison for her to interrogate personally.
………………….
At night, Shangguan Wan 'er was sorting out documents in the study, preparing to hand them over to the Emperor the next morning.
At this moment, a palace maid walked in and bowed gently."Sister Wan 'er, His Majesty has sent you to the imperial prison to see her.”
"Got it."
Shangguan Wan 'er slowly stood up and walked towards the imperial prison.
What happened today was very strange!
That Ruo Xuan entered the palace two years ago and had always been serving the Emperor. Recently, she had been deeply doted on by the Emperor.
Why did His Majesty want him to secretly capture her today?
A mere palace maid, even if she angered His Majesty, couldn't she just be punished directly? Why did he do this?
Could it be that…this palace maid was related to the villain who kidnapped His Majesty today?
Shangguan Wan 'er came to the imperial prison with questions in her heart. Under the lead of the guards, she saw the Emperor and the palace maid.
At this moment, the palace maid had already been tortured beyond recognition. Her entire body was a bloody mess, and it was terrifying.
Wu Zetian sat on a chair with a gloomy expression and a dignified aura.
Even though her cultivation had fallen to Silver rank, the domineering aura of the Great Tang Empress did not diminish at all!
After returning to the throne, she was completely different from when she was with Ye Qiu. She constantly emitted the pressure of a superior!
"Wan 'er, you're here."
"I called you over because I have a secret to tell you.”
The empress looked at the palace maid coldly and said in a deep voice,""Tell me."
Soon, Shangguan Wan 'er heard a piece of shocking news.
It could even be said to be a shocking secret!
A year ago, the demonic seed attack on the hunting ground was actually man-made!
Was it because of that incident that the real empress was replaced?
There had always been an invisible hand in the Great Tang manipulating all of this!
However, this palace maid did not know much.
She was only responsible for connecting the imposter and the mastermind.
Every time the mastermind gave an order, he would inform the palace maid first, and the palace maid would relay it to the fake empress.
Moreover, the other party was very cautious. Every time she conveyed a message, she would leave the secret letter somewhere in the palace and let the palace maid retrieve it herself.
Therefore, this palace maid had no idea who the mastermind was.
Wu Zetian nodded and ordered the people beside her,"Take her down to treat her injuries."
She had another use for this palace maid.
