Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Before Chu Ze could speak, Lin Feng struggled to raise his head and shouted hoarsely: "Empress, save the Palace Master! She was framed by a traitor!"

Shen Ruoxi frowned slightly and looked at Chu Ze with a questioning look in her eyes. Chu Ze snorted coldly and said, "Queen, don't pay attention to him. This person is an assassin from Kunlun Palace and intends to break into the prison."

"Prison break?" Shen Ruoxi turned her eyes to Lin Feng, with a hint of suspicion, "He doesn't look like an assassin."

"Empress, I am really here to save the Palace Master! The Palace Master..." Lin Feng was eager to explain, but suddenly remembered the Palace Master's plan to fake her death, and quickly changed the topic, "The Palace Master is seriously ill and will not live long. I just want to take her out to find a doctor."

Chu Ze sneered in his heart. Would the Queen believe this clumsy lie?
To Chu Ze's surprise, Shen Ruoxi actually nodded and said, "The Palace Master is indeed weak, and I have visited her before. In that case, let this...strong man take the Palace Master out for treatment."

Chu Ze's face darkened, and he was about to refute, but Shen Ruoxi spoke first: "Your Majesty, the Palace Master is the Palace Master of Kunlun Palace after all, and his status is noble. If he dies of illness in the prison, it may cause misunderstandings in Kunlun Palace. If that happens, the two countries will become enemies, which will be a loss for us, right?"

Chu Ze knew that what the Queen said was true. Although Kunlun Palace was not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty, it was also one of the best sects in the martial arts world. If he really made enemies with them, it would indeed bring a lot of trouble. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he had to compromise.

"Forget it," Chu Ze waved his hand, "Just follow what the Queen said."

Lin Feng was overjoyed and thanked him immediately. He carried the Palace Master on his back and, at Shen Ruoxi's signal, followed a guard out of the prison.

After Lin Feng left, Chu Ze looked at Shen Ruoxi with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Why did the Queen let them go? Did the Queen also believe the assassin's lies?"

Shen Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, "I just think there is something fishy about this matter. Although the Palace Master was imprisoned in the prison, she has not been convicted. Now she is seriously ill. If she really died in the prison, it would inevitably make people doubt the emperor's benevolence."

Chu Ze snorted coldly and said nothing. He knew in his heart that the Queen did not really believe Lin Feng's lies, but was just protecting him in another way. He knew that the Queen had always been interested in the affairs of the martial arts world, and perhaps she had noticed something.

"Your Majesty," Shen Ruoxi saw Chu Ze remained silent, and said softly, "I heard that Kunlun Palace has a magical elixir called 'Huitian Pill', which is said to be able to bring the dead back to life. Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to establish contact with Kunlun Palace and perhaps get this elixir."

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes. He had always longed for immortality. If he could really get this "Returning Pill", wouldn't it be what he wanted? He looked at Shen Ruoxi, his heart full of gratitude.

"The Queen is indeed very smart," Chu Ze held Shen Ruoxi's hand and said softly, "I knew that the Queen would not let me down."

Shen Ruoxi smiled slightly and let Chu Ze hold her hand. She sneered in her heart, Chu Ze, Chu Ze, do you really think you can hide it from me? I have known for a long time that you are not just imprisoning the palace master, you have other intentions for her...

Lin Feng carried the Palace Master on his back and ran all the way until he was far away from the palace before he dared to stop and rest. He gently put the Palace Master on the ground and carefully checked her condition.

The Palace Master was still "unconscious", but his breathing was steady and his face had regained some color. Lin Feng felt relieved, as he knew that the fake death drug the Palace Master had taken was extremely effective and could last for at least twelve hours.

"Palace Master, you must hold on," Lin Feng whispered, "I will definitely take you away from this place of trouble."

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a murderous aura coming from behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw a man in black appearing behind him, holding a dagger that flashed with cold light in his hand.

Lin Feng didn't have time to think and drew his sword to fight. The black-clothed man's martial arts skills were extremely high, and every move was deadly. Although Lin Feng was also very skilled, he gradually fell behind.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!"

Lin Feng and the man in black were both startled. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in white standing not far away with a sneer on her face. This woman was... Shen Ruoxi!

Shen Ruoxi's appearance startled Lin Feng and the man in black. The man in black obviously didn't expect someone to suddenly appear, and Lin Feng was even more confused, why did the queen appear here?
Shen Ruoxi walked slowly between the two men, glanced at the man in black with a cold gaze, and sneered, "I never thought that the commander of the Jinyiwei would do such a sneaky thing."

The man in black was none other than the commander of the Royal Guards, Zhao Long. Following Chu Ze's orders, he secretly monitored Lin Feng and the Palace Master, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of them.

Zhao Long cursed inwardly, but didn't dare to show it. He could only cup his hands and say, "The Queen has misunderstood. I am only following the Emperor's orders to protect the Palace Master."

"Protect?" Shen Ruoxi sneered, "Protect means secretly following and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate?"

Zhao Long's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he dared not to argue anymore.

Shen Ruoxi turned to Lin Feng and said in a softer tone, "Young Master Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Feng shook his head, but his heart was full of doubts. He didn't understand why the queen wanted to save him. Did she really believe that the palace master was innocent?

Shen Ruoxi seemed to see Lin Feng's doubts and smiled faintly: "Young Master Lin, don't think too much. I just don't want the emperor to bear the crime of killing innocent people."

Lin Feng's heart moved. Could it be that the Queen was hinting to him that the Emperor did not really want to kill the Palace Master?
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." After Shen Ruoxi said this, she turned and left, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Zhao Long heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the queen leave. He was about to attack Lin Feng again, but he saw that Lin Feng had already protected the palace master behind him and pointed the sword at him.

"Commander Zhao, do you want to continue?" Lin Feng asked coldly.

Zhao Long cursed inwardly, but did not dare to act rashly. He knew that although Lin Feng's martial arts were not as good as his, he might not be able to gain any benefit if he fought to the death. Moreover, the queen's appearance just now made him feel a little uneasy. He was worried that the queen would suddenly return, and then he would not be able to explain himself.

"Hmph!" Zhao Long snorted coldly and turned away.

Lin Feng looked at the direction where Zhao Long left, his heart full of doubts. He didn't know why the queen wanted to save him, nor did he know what the emperor wanted to do.

He carried the Palace Master on his back and continued on his way. He knew that he had to leave the capital as soon as possible to ensure the Palace Master's safety.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Chu Ze sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. He had learned of Zhao Long's failure and was filled with anger.

"Useless! You can't even handle a gangster!" Chu Ze roared. (End of this chapter)
