Zhu Houzhao didn't answer him.
Shangguan Haitang gritted her teeth and said," Your Majesty, I promise that this will be the last time I will meet the three people at the Heaven's End Cliff. After this meeting, I will serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly and be Your Majesty's woman."”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao smiled.
He nodded slowly." Alright, since my beloved consort has said so, I'll leave this matter to you."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shangguan Haitang kowtowed gratefully.
Then, under Kuo Zhong's lead, they hurriedly walked out…
………………
At the same time.
In the Great Ming Imperial Palace.
All was silent. Three black figures were shuttling back and forth in the palace like ghosts.
They were agile and were all top-notch experts in the martial arts world.
These three people were the Heaven's End Cliff, Guihai Yidao, and Cheng Fei who had come to rescue Shangguan Haitang.
Originally.
Guihai Yidao planned to enter the palace alone to save Haitang.
But at this time, the Heaven's End Cliff and Cheng Fei took the initiative to find him, saying that they wanted to enter the palace together because Haitang was also their good friend.
It was their responsibility to save their good friend from the evil claws of Zhu Houzhao, the fatuous ruler!
"I wonder where Zhu Houzhao, that fatuous ruler, locked Haitang up?”
Cheng Fei muttered softly.
The Heaven's End Cliff pondered." It should be in a side hall in the rear palace. Once we enter the rear palace and find a side hall that is heavily guarded, there is a high chance that it is where Haitang is imprisoned.”
Cheng Fei's eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Guihai Yidao couldn't wait any longer. When the Heaven's End Cliff's voice fell, his figure moved and was about to leap forward.
At this moment.
Heaven's End Cliff pulled him back." Yidao, I know that you are very eager to save Haitang, but I still have a favor to ask of you. We are only here to save Haitang."
If you meet His Majesty, you can't hurt him.”
Guihai Yidao was stunned. Before he could answer, Cheng Fei said anxiously,""Tian Ya, that fatuous ruler is muddle-headed and incompetent. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty has to kill him. We killed him when we saved Haitang. Isn't it a great thing to kill two birds with one stone?”
The Heaven's End Cliff's eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life as he slowly shook his head.
"Is it a good thing?
If His Majesty died, the four treacherous officials would immediately create laws, and the surrounding countries would also attack Great Ming. At that time, the entire Great Ming would probably fall into deep waters.
In the end, it was the people of Ming who suffered.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao could not die no matter what!
This is my only request, and it is also something you must agree to!”
Upon hearing the Heaven's End Cliff's words, Guihai Yidao and Cheng Fei were stunned, and in the end, they had no choice but to nod.
Seeing the two of them agree, the Heaven's End Cliff laughed heartily.
The three of them continued to move forward stealthily.
When they reached the roof of a palace, there were guards patrolling in front. They lay in the shadows of the roof and waited for the guards to pass by.
At this moment, Cheng Fei asked his second concern.
"Do you think Haitang doesn't want to come with us?
We are now wandering in the martial world, living a life of wandering and killing. How can we be as comfortable as living in the palace?”
Guihai Yidao glared at him and said coldly,""Haitang is not a vain woman! Definitely not!"
The Heaven's End Cliff also said," Don't talk nonsense. I believe in Haitang's character.”
Cheng Fei smiled and rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"That's true. Haitang is a famous martial arts chivalrous woman. How could she covet a luxurious life? I was indeed thinking too much.”
At this moment.
A faint voice came from behind them and entered their ears.
"No, you're not thinking too much. I really won't leave with you.”
Hearing this voice.
The Heaven's End Cliff trio were startled.
He hurriedly turned his head to look.
When they saw that the person standing behind them was Shangguan Haitang, they were very surprised.
Guihai Yidao almost cried tears of joy.
"Haitang, we've always been worried about you!”
After saying that, he quickly stepped forward and couldn't help but grab Shangguan Haitang's hand.
But in the end, his hand missed.
Because Haitang had silently taken a step back.
Guihai Yidao was stunned and subconsciously looked at Shangguan Haitang.
Only then did he realize that Shangguan Haitang was wearing a palace dress that was meant for concubines, and her eyes were also looking at him with a sense of strangeness and conflict.
His heart ached. For some reason, he felt like crying.
The Heaven's End Cliff was much calmer than him.
He noticed Shangguan Haitang's words behind their backs,"I won't let you leave." Then he looked at Shangguan Haitang's clothes.
He couldn't help but furrow his brows and softly say," Sister Haitang, could it be that you really miss life in the palace?”
Cheng Fei was much more direct than him." Haitang, are you greedy for vanity?”
Shangguan Haitang bit her lips tightly and said nothing.
After a few breaths, he slowly shook his head.
"Then why don't you leave with us?!”
Guihai Yidao questioned loudly.
In his agitation, he could no longer care about not alerting the enemy in the Imperial Palace.
Shangguan Haitang took a deep look at him, and finally, determination flashed in her eyes. She stared into Guihai Yidao's eyes and said word by word,"" Yidao, forget about me, because…I have already become His Majesty's woman…"
Hearing this.
Guihai Yidao felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire person stunned!
At this moment, his mind was blank, as if the entire world had collapsed.
Shangguan Haitang, the woman he had loved the most since he was young, had now become a fatuous woman and was going to leave him forever.
Cheng Fei 'er and the Heaven's End Cliff were also stunned.
He looked at Shangguan Haitang in disbelief.
" Haitang," the Heaven's End Cliff said in a deep voice." Did he force you to become Zhu Houzhao's woman?"”
Guihai Yidao's eyes lit up and he looked at Shangguan Haitang with hope.
As long as Shangguan Haitang was coerced by the fatuous ruler, he could also not care about anything and accept the offer. Who asked him to love Shangguan Haitang so much?
But very quickly.
Shangguan Haitang's answer had crushed the last bit of hope in his heart.
Shangguan Haitang said in an unusually calm tone.
"No, I was willing to become His Majesty's woman. I took the initiative. From the beginning to the end, His Majesty did not threaten me at all.”
Guihai Yidao was stunned again. He felt as if his heart had been stabbed. It hurt, it hurt.
It turned out that Haitang had become the woman of the fatuous ruler out of her own will.
Why was this so?
The Haitang of the past was so unapproachable and pure in his heart.
She did not expect that she would volunteer to be the woman of a fatuous ruler.
The white moonlight in his heart had silently turned black, and it had turned so completely black. How could he accept it in a short period of time?
"Haitang, please tell me, is there anything good about that fatuous ruler? Why did you take the initiative to be his woman?”
Guihai Yidao looked at Shangguan Haitang in pain. At this moment, his heart was about to die. He just wanted an answer before he died.
Hearing Guihai Yidao's question.
Shangguan Haitang was stunned. She carefully recalled the short time she had spent with Zhu Houzhao. After thinking calmly, she sighed and said seriously,"Yidao, you shouldn't have asked me that.
You should be asking me what's wrong with His Majesty, because in my opinion, he's perfect, almost without any flaws.
It's my honor to be his woman…"
