When Rong Shang came back, the Luan Palace was empty. He was carrying a basket of oranges, and the smile on his lips slowly froze.
Now is the critical period for overcoming the tribulation. He had already instructed Pei Qian to try not to let her go out in the next few days and to stay in the bedroom for as many days as possible.
Rong Shang put down the basket and tapped the communication bracelet twice.
The red light flashed in time and I didn't know how long I waited, but the other end didn't pick up.
Yu Zhengzheng didn't answer, so he used his communication bracelet to contact Pei Qian. Before he even clicked on the call, he heard Pei Qian's voice from behind him: "Wang... uh, you're back?"
Rong Shang turned sideways, thinking he would see Yu Zhengzheng's figure, but there was no one behind him except Pei Qian.
He frowned: "Where is she?"
Pei Qian was startled: "Not in the bedroom..."
As he was speaking, he fell silent.
If the Immortal Lord was in the bedroom, the king would not ask him like this.
Pei Qian ran quickly into the hall. He didn’t see it in front of the desk, on the beauty couch, or on the bed…
He searched the entire bedroom, which was spotless and as quiet as a dead grave.
Pei Qian didn't bother to apologize. He opened the communication bracelet on his wrist and contacted the two subordinates anxiously.
Maybe she just felt suffocated and wanted to go out for a walk.
Or maybe she went to the city to buy food. Whatever she wanted to eat these days was all on a whim. Maybe she couldn't wait for him to come back so she left first.
But as the red light of the communication bracelet disappeared, all these far-fetched reasons were refuted.
No matter where she went, as long as the two subordinates followed her and saw the communication bracelet flashing, they would definitely connect at the first opportunity.
Rong Shang saw Pei Qian's panic and knew that there must be something fishy going on. He pursed his lips into a line and asked, "Why don't you stay by her side?"
Pei Qian didn't dare to lie, and told the whole story of the theft in his bedroom: "The servant came to report that the box had been moved, so I rushed back to check... After checking, I found that the letter you gave me was missing."
The tips of Rong Shang's fingers gripping the communication bracelet turned white, his hanging arm trembled slightly, and his steady breathing became disordered.
That suicide note... If she saw that suicide note, she would understand everything.
Did she suddenly disappear just because she saw that suicide note
Rong Shang didn't know the answer. He heard Pei Qian kneel down in front of him with a thump and kowtowed three times: "I failed in my job and I am willing to die to apologize!"
After saying that, Pei Qian unsheathed the sharp sword at his waist. He gripped the hilt tightly, pointed the blade at his throat, and cut it hard.
The silver light reflected a bloody color, and there was a clang sound as the long sword fell to the ground.
Pei Qian lowered his head in a daze. His neck was injured by the sharp sword blade, leaving only a long bloody trail.
He looked at a bodhi seed that fell not far away, and his eyes turned red: "Your Majesty..."
Rong Shang's eyes were cold and indifferent: "Catch those people and interrogate them."
Pei Qian clasped his fists and said yes, then quickly led his men to the side hall to look for the lover sent by Madam Mian Tiao.
There were five corpses lying neatly in the side hall. With white foam coming out of the corners of their mouths, it seemed that they had been poisoned.
When Pei Qian saw these corpses, his heart sank.
The Ghost Sect was not responsible for taking care of their food, and they had been cooking for themselves for more than two months. If they were poisoned, it could only be their own people.
All five people died, and only Mian Jin's life or death is unknown. It is self-evident who poisoned him.
When Pei Qian was dragging the corpse back, he happened to meet the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince looked at the corpses and snorted coldly: "Can you finally bear it and take action against them? I said he was pretending."
Pei Qian was in no mood to waste time talking to him: "If anything happens to the Immortal Lord, your entire South China Sea will be buried with him."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "I just saw her jumping around, what could have happened to her?"
Pei Qian was startled, and the fingers that were holding the corpse's collar suddenly loosened. He grabbed the Seventh Prince's collar and asked, "Where did you see the Immortal Lord?"
His hands were still stained with blood, and this grab directly stained the blood on the collar of the Seventh Prince's clothes, making the Seventh Prince furious: "Isn't it just a disaster? Is it that serious?"
Pei Qian grasped his bloody hand around his neck. He was so angry that his face turned purple. He could only slap Pei Qian’s arm: “As for… She is at the Holy Spring Heavenly Stage…”
After finding the answer he wanted, Pei Qian's face became even uglier.
The Tiangang formation is set up at the Holy Spring Heavenly Steps. That formation is used to attract lightning. If the Immortal Venerable happens to be in that formation...
Pei Qian ran towards Rong Shang without stopping, but before he could open his mouth, a thunder sounded in his ears.
The originally cloudless sky was now covered with dark clouds. The sky suddenly turned dark, and the dark clouds rolled down rapidly. A series of piercing roars could be heard faintly in my ears.
Pei Qian's breathing was rapid, and he pointed in the direction of the Holy Spring Heavenly Stage: "Tian Gang Formation, the Immortal Venerable is in the Tian Gang Formation..."
Before he finished speaking, Rong Shang, who was standing outside the Luan Palace, had disappeared.
Pei Qian chased after him with red eyes.
Nothing can happen. The Immortal Master will definitely be able to handle it.
The king has finally been reunited with the Immortal Master, and nothing must happen to the Immortal Master.
When Rong Shang arrived at the Holy Spring Steps, Yu Zhengzheng was standing in the Tiangang Formation, stepping on Mian Jin's back and poking his butt with a jade flute.
Perhaps because she heard the footsteps coming from the stone steps, Yu Zhengzheng paused and turned her head slightly to the side.
In the dark sky, a white halo like a wormhole formed, and in the blink of an eye, a thick, long, blue-purple lightning quickly appeared.
There was a buzzing sound in Rong Shang's ears, his eyes went dark, his heartbeat kept accelerating, and those horrifying bloody faces appeared in front of him again.
The goddess's mournful curses before her death were like a dark, bottomless black hole, gradually devouring his sanity.
—One day, you will experience the pain of losing the one you love, and you will be doomed to misfortune and die alone.
Die alone...
The red lips on her face were slightly raised.
When Pei Qian arrived, he saw a gust of sand and dust rising up, and a long, pitch-black dragon leaped above the dark clouds. Its fangs and sharp claws gave off a chilling chill. It flew and circled above the Tiangang Formation, and its black scales flew up in the air.
His true identity was revealed in his appearance.
A blue-purple thunder struck from the sky, and the black dragon rushed down at an extremely fast speed. It wrapped Yu Zhengzheng with its tail, and the scales on the dragon's body were like armor, covering her tightly.
There was only a loud roar, and the first bolt of thunder fell.
But in the blink of an eye, the second and third ones followed.
Perhaps God wanted to create a sad atmosphere, so it rained heavily. The rain was heavier than the day when Yiping asked her father for money.
Pei Qian didn't even dare to look up. He knelt weakly on the stone steps, tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes.
Why is God always so unfair
The king almost got everything he wanted.
Why…
Yu Zhengzheng cried out with tears in her eyes: "You can cry later, come over and help me carry him away first, okay?"
Pei Qian was slightly startled and subconsciously looked in her direction.
Both the man and the dragon were safe and sound, but the black dragon fainted, and its tail hit her calf heavily.
It turned out that the thunder did not fall into the Tiangang Formation at all, but fell on an uninhabited rotten hill not far away.
Pei Qian trotted over and struggled to move the black dragon's tail away from her legs. He looked at the unconscious black dragon and asked cautiously, "Immortal Venerable, what on earth is going on?"
Yu Zhengzheng rubbed her calf which had lost consciousness after being hit. As the sound of the rain rustled, her thoughts drifted away.
One stick of incense ago, she opened the envelope titled "Handwritten by my husband".
There were only six big words written on the yellowed letter paper.
—Don’t wait, get married.
She confirmed again and again that this was indeed the handwriting on the face.
But she didn't figure out when he wrote the letter.
Judging from the yellow color of the letter paper, it must be at least quite old.
If this was written by Rong Shang before he went to the banquet seven years ago, it means that he knew he would die before he left. Otherwise, why would he write the three words "Get married" on the letter
Given Rong Shang's personality, as long as he lives, he cannot bear to see her marry someone else.
She went to Penglai Mountain with the intention of dying, so it was not surprising that he also went to the banquet with the same thought in mind.
But the first three words seem weird no matter how you look at them.
At first glance, the three words "Don't wait anymore" simply mean that she should not wait for him.
But if you think about it carefully, he seems to be very sure that she will wait for him until someone delivers this suicide note to her.
She hadn't forgiven him at that time, so why was he so sure that she would wait for him
If we follow this line of reasoning, combined with the phrase "get married", it means that he was certain that he would die before he left, and he was also very sure that she would wait for him for some reason.
What kind of thing did he have to do to make her wait for him without getting married
The answer is obvious.
For example, he pretended to be careless and let her be kidnapped by Xiang Feng, and then he stripped off his soul in front of her in order to rescue her from Xiang Feng
For example, detonating his spiritual consciousness and dying together with the Emperor of Heaven, or dying tragically beside her in order to save her
These were just guesses, but if she added in the fact that he pretended to have amnesia after his return, she would have to be more certain of this guess.
Perhaps because she was too angry, her lower abdomen was in excruciating pain and she could hardly breathe, so she asked the two subordinates left behind by Pei Qian to call for a medical practitioner.
After the doctor's diagnosis, he congratulated her in surprise and said that she was pregnant.
She didn't react for a moment, and the doctor saw her dazed look and thought she was worried that there was still du's-u left in her body.
The doctor patiently explained to her that only by taking the antidote would her muscles and bones soften and she would become paralyzed in bed with one side of her body paralyzed.
But she did not take the antidote, and the poison had already been purified by her spirit in her body and would not affect the baby in her womb.
Only then did she understand why Rong Shang knew that she was doomed to die.
Because he wanted to use his soul to save her.
She cried and went to the Holy Spring Steps with the letter.
Then she saw the long-lost Tiangang Formation at the Holy Spring Steps.
Immortal Lord Hengwu gave her a formation diagram, and the Tiangang Formation was created by Immortal Lord Hengwu.
In fact, she had considered using the Tiangang Formation to attract lightning, but Immortal Lord Hengwu had deceived her too many times, and she really couldn't trust him completely.
What if the battle formation diagram that Immortal Lord Hengwu gave her was fake
She had no idea how many times she had flipped through the formation diagram and had memorized the formation layout by heart. When she reached the Holy Spring Steps, she could tell where the formation was at a glance.
Although Rong Shang always lied to her, at this moment, her anger towards Rong Shang had completely disappeared.
Life is short and you never know when disasters and accidents may occur. Instead of wasting time worrying about gains and losses, why not enjoy the remaining good times together
So, she handed the formation map to two subordinates who followed her and asked them to deploy the Tiangang Formation in an empty place according to the map.
After the two men left, she calmly moved the center of the Holy Spring Heavenly Stage formation, disrupting the formation here.
With the idea of accumulating blessings, she approached Mian Jin in a friendly manner to communicate with him to see if there was any misunderstanding between him and Rong Shang.
But Mian Jin spoke wildly and cursed Rong Shang for not being able to have children when they disagreed with her.
Then she snatched the jade flute from his hand in a friendly manner, and played it towards Mian Jin's anus, which made him suddenly realize his mistake.
She hadn't had enough fun yet when there was a thunder above her head, and then her face turned into an elongated loach and flew into the sky.
She tried her best to protect her stomach and backed away, but was finally caught in his loach tail.
Yu Zhengzheng came back to her senses and looked at the black dragon lying beside her. She stroked the black scales on the dragon's body with her hand, her eyes gentle, "I don't know what happened, it became like this."
Pei Qian was stunned: "Then Wang... uh, why did Gangmen faint?"
This is a very good question.
Yu Zhengzheng didn't want to ruin the show, but Rong Shang's acting was really poor.
Just now when he risked his life to save her, he didn't consider anything. Now that the heavenly tribulation is over, he wants to pretend to be dead to escape her.
Even if she knew nothing, seeing him transformed into a dragon, it would be hard not to guess that he had not lost his memory, right
Yu Zhengzheng looked at the black dragon and chuckled, "Do you believe that I can wake him up with just one word?"
Pei Qian naturally didn't believe it.
She lay on Long and said with a smile: "Rongshang, I want to remarry..."
The black dragon showed no reaction and coiled limply on the stone steps, as if it were dead.
Yu Zhengzheng placed her small hands on his horns and said the second half of the sentence: "Take the baby in my belly with you."
The black dragon suddenly opened his eyelids, and his scarlet snake pupils stared at her lower abdomen. His pupils were motionless, as if he was in a daze.
child
Is it her and his... child
