Flower Moon

Chapter 199 July 3

The next day, a cloud ladder quietly appeared next to Tao Yue'er's cabin.The shape of this ladder is similar to the one in the previous palace, almost a one-to-one replica.

The emperor is old, suffers from insomnia and dreams, and wakes up early.Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.He rubbed his eyes and said, "Is this real?"

Everyone around them nodded: "I saw it too."

"This is real."

After getting the answer in the affirmative, he didn't care whether the ladder was real or fake, whether it was dangerous or not. Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, he quickly ran over and stepped on the first step.

"Your Majesty! Be careful!" the old steward shouted.It was this cry that woke up Tao Yue'er from her dream.She opened the window and saw the old emperor rushing up the ladder that suddenly appeared like crazy and excited.

His footsteps soon caused a circle of golden water ripples to appear on the stairs.It's like flowers are growing step by step.

There was no one around the ladder at this moment. It was obvious that the emperor was the first to discover the ladder.The chief eunuch watched from below, trembling with fear as the emperor dragged his old body and stood on a ladder towering into the clouds.

"Your Majesty, come down quickly!" the old steward shouted.

"I won't go down, you come up. Come and see with me, this world is vast. This view is vast..." The emperor climbed higher and higher, not caring at all whether the ladder was real or fake.

Based on Hua Ling's suggestion yesterday and the attempts of his men, he probably knew that the ladder might be a deception created by Hua Ling.But even if it's a blindfold, as long as it's exactly the same as the one in the palace, it can bring him some degree of comfort - he is also someone who has stepped on the ladder.It is possible for him to regain his royal city.

Outside the sky, people gradually appeared.The disciples of Xuanqing Sect who can fly with swords are coming here.

The emperor probably knew that he was unable to fight against these people, so he could only walk down again with reluctance.At this time, Tao Yue'er and Hua Ling had also walked out and stood under the ladder.

Hua Ling was still expressionless, but Tao Yue'er was dumbfounded as she looked at the towering ladder, so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"This, this is exactly the same! How did you do it?" Tao Yue'er still called the emperor 'you', and did not lose respect for him just because he was in a slightly depressed state.

This made the emperor very useful and he said: "I didn't do this." As if he wanted to prove it, he asked around the people around him and said: "It must not be them. Otherwise, this ladder would have been destroyed long ago. It’s built.”

"Not you? Who could it be..." Tao Yuer'er was very confused.

It was Hua Ling who gave the emperor old advice. The emperor and his old ministers couldn't do it, so it seemed that the only people who had the ability to do it were... Tao Yue'er looked at Hua Ling beside her and asked, "It's you made?"

"No." Hua Ling quickly denied it.

"Who could that be?" Tao Yue'er became even more confused.

"Maybe it's the Immortal Master and his old man?" Hua Ling said.

"Impossible." Tao Yue'er said: "The ladder over there is fake. How could the Immortal Lord make a fake ladder and join in the evil?"

Hua Ling didn't think so.He sneered and said: "Maybe they made a fake ladder to confuse the public and cause mutual killing, causing chaos in the imperial city. Aren't you allowed the Immortal Lord to retaliate in kind? After all, no one knows how the ladder is selected. Maybe before that The Immortal Master didn't have any ideas, but when he saw their ladder, he thought it was good." Hua Ling said every word seriously, but everyone else thought it was nonsense.

Where this ladder came from has become an unsolved mystery.But it can only be left hanging.Because soon, more and more people came from the imperial city... In order to avoid losses, Tao Yue'er had to quickly put away her greenhouse.Let there be nothing around the ladder except the emperor's tent.

The first wave of people who rushed around the ladder were the disciples of Xuanqing Sect.

When Tao Yue'er saw someone wearing Xuanqingzong clothes, she subconsciously backed away.She hid among the emperor and his party, and pulled down the brim of her red cloak, as if she was afraid that the other party would recognize her.

"Why are you hiding?" Hua Ling walked to Tao Yue'er and asked her.

"After all, he is a person who has been kind and doesn't want to think about conflict." When Tao Yue'er encountered this kind of problem, she subconsciously avoided it.In her world view, people from the Xuanqing Sect took her in when she was in the most difficult time.She did encounter injustice in the Xuanqing Sect, but that was not the fault of the Xuanqing Sect.It's the fault of the disciples in Xuanqing Sect.

"It's also Xuanqingzong's fault that he didn't teach his son well." Hua Ling reminded her coldly.Apparently Tao Yue'er's kind heart was at work, so much so that even Hua Ling had to hear it.

Tao Yue'er nodded and said: "I promise that if I encounter injustice again, I will not be a coward again. As long as he doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. If he offends me, I will fight back."

After receiving Tao Yue'er's assurance, Hua Ling was much satisfied.

But things never seem to go according to Tao Yuer's ideas.Soon, the Xuanqing Sect disciples began to enclose the land for their camp.

"Beyond the ladder here, everything within a hundred feet will be under the jurisdiction of Xuanqing Sect. You should leave quickly." Xuanqing Sect disciples announced loudly, and then other disciples picked up the curtains to surround this ladder.Within a hundred feet, the emperor's camp was obviously included.

"Why do you surround this place? I discovered this place first and it is my territory!" The emperor was already unhappy after being driven away one after another.Meeting people from Xuanqing Sect again made me very irritable.

"Why?" The Xuanqing Sect member sneered, pulled out his sword directly, put it against the old emperor's neck, and sneered: "Why do you think so? Is the sword in my hand enough?"

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!" The old emperor was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a word.But the people around him shouted out subconsciously.But it's of no use.

They can only shout, but without the support of people with strong power, it is like a joke, and no one takes it seriously.

"Go away! Old man." Soon, the emperor was pushed to the ground by the young disciples of Xuanqing Sect, and all of them, including Tao Yuer and Hua Ling, were also kicked out of the ladder.Stay away from the ladder.

"Heaven is going to destroy our country!" The old emperor was heartbroken and couldn't believe that he was being humiliated over and over again.Sitting on the ground and crying.

"Stop crying. If crying is useful, you won't lose the imperial city." Hua Ling was so disturbed by him that she yelled loudly.

The emperor stopped crying when Hua Ling drank like this, but his anger only increased instead of decreasing.

"Then what should we do?" the old emperor asked Hua Ling.
