After that, Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan 'er had a long secret conversation in the Heaven Prison.
No one knew what the two of them talked about that night.
The next day, the palace maid who was imprisoned by Wu Zetian was released.
Other than a few key figures, no one in the entire palace knew that this palace maid had been captured.
At this moment, in a cave in a mountain range, a tall and straight man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes walked out slowly.
"Ye Qiu, did that guy confess?"
Yun Ying walked over from afar and asked.
Ye Qiu nodded.”
"The rest will depend on how Wu Zetian does.”
Yesterday, Ye Qiu had brought the fake empress along with him. After shaking off the pursuers, he had brought her into the stone cave for interrogation.
Because the interrogation process was too cruel, Yun Ying didn't go with him, but stayed outside the cave to wait.
From that imposter, Ye Qiu didn't get any information other than the fact that Wu Zetian's cultivation had fallen because she was poisoned.
It wasn't that this guy was stubborn, but she didn't know either.
Ye Qiu had not expected the other party to be so secretive.
However, Ye Qiu guessed that Wu Zetian should have made a breakthrough.
After he showed up yesterday, the mastermind must have guessed whether Wu Zetian really died on Pingdu Mountain.
And this guess would cause the other party to take action.
Once he moved, he would reveal his flaws!
And Wu Zetian could follow the clues and find the mastermind!
"Then what should we do now?" Yun Ying asked.
"Just wait and see. There should be news from the empress soon.”
Compared to finding the mastermind, Ye Qiu cared more about the mission.
What was Wu Zetian thinking?
He had helped her so much, but she still did not treat him as a close friend?
Then what was his position in her heart?
She wouldn't be like a scumbag and dump him after using him, right?
Well…
This was quite suitable for an emperor.
"Oh, Ye Qiu, I'm hungry."
"Aren't there steamed buns?"
"Just steamed buns? Can we try some wild game?"
"I don't have time. Eat your steamed bun.”Ye Qiu was thinking about the mission. How could he have the time to care about this girl?
Ding! Mission released.
Mission 1: Make Pei Qinhu refuse to join Yaotian Organization in front of Li.
Mission 2: Slap Su Lie 30 times.
The system's missions were random, and there was no telling when they would be issued.
Moreover, the number of missions issued each time was different. Sometimes there was one, sometimes there were two or three, and sometimes there were even more than a dozen.
As for the reward for the mission, it would also depend on the difficulty of the mission.
For example, the mission of kidnapping Yun Ying was obviously very difficult, which was why the rewards were so generous.
As for the ones in front of him…
Li and Pei Qinhu's mission wasn't difficult. They just had to offend someone.
However, the task of beating Su Lie 30 times with the stick interested Ye Qiu.
..............................................
Ye Qiu and Yun Ying waited outside the city.
In the city, an undercurrent was quietly surging.
After Wu Zetian regained the throne, she laid down an inescapable net.
Everything seemed normal, but in reality, Shangguan Wan 'er had already been sent out to keep an eye on the Imperial Palace.
On the evening of the second day after Wu Zetian returned to the palace, a little palace maid quietly came to a corner of the imperial garden and hid a letter under a fake mountain.
Before she could leave, Shangguan Wan 'er brought her men to capture her and throw her into the imperial prison.
After some interrogation, she found out that her superior was the Minister of Revenue.
Shangguan Wan 'er didn't say a word and went straight to the official's residence. However, when she arrived, the official's entire family had been exterminated.
After that, Shangguan Wan 'er returned to the palace and reported everything in the royal study.
"Oh?"
After hearing this, Wu Zetian frowned and her expression became serious.
It seemed that the opponent was more cunning than he had imagined!
He had thought that he would pretend that nothing had happened and use the palace maid as a clue to slowly find out who was behind this.
He did not expect that the clues would be cut off just like that!
"Wan 'er, you've worked hard these past few days, but things aren't over yet.”
"It's time to clean up this palace.”
Shangguan Wan 'er bowed lightly." I understand. I'll arrest all the spies we've found."”
Wu Zetian nodded." Yes. I haven't been in the palace for a year. Did you notice anything strange about that imposter?"”
Shangguan Wan 'er shook her head." I do feel that there are some differences, but I can't tell what's different."”
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, I met Lord Di when I went to the Minister's Residence.”
"Lord Di is still brooding over the fact that he hasn't caught the world's number one villain.”
Wu Zetian chuckled,"I don't know what Ye Qiu was thinking back then."”
"Speaking of which, it's time to inform him to enter the city. Zhen wants to thank him properly.”
"Wan 'er, you can do this.”
"Yes."
That night, an earth-shattering event happened in the Imperial Palace.
More than 300 palace maids were all captured by the royal guards and secretly executed!
