After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

After a night, the sky is bright!

Li Lingyue woke up from her sleep, sat up, and stretched beautifully. She felt that she slept particularly sweetly that night.

However, the next moment, her expression suddenly changed, and she realized that the place where she slept was actually a large single-door bed.

The bed is equipped with quilts and pillows, surrounded by white curtains, and a screen is thoughtfully placed directly above the bed.

Li Lingyue rubbed her eyes vigorously, thinking she was dazzled.

After confirming that it was not a hallucination, she was so surprised that she was speechless.

In order to lure those people out last night, she deliberately made a request for a bed, and then she and Gong'er went back to back to check for any changes. As a result, she fell asleep not long after, and when she woke up again, she was already in a big bed. Such a magical scene. , how could she not be shocked.

Huh?Why is Gong'er missing?
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Lingyue quickly opened the quilt, got out of bed, and called softly: "Gong'er! Girl! Where are you?"

"Princess! The slave is here!"

On the floor at the end of the bed, Gong'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up.

Seeing that the little girl was safe, Li Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief. It was probably because of her status as a princess that the people who delivered the bed did not let Gong'er, the maid, sleep with her.

"Wow! What a big bed, they really brought it in!" The moment Gong'er saw the bed, she was as shocked as she was.

"Keep your voice down!" Li Lingyue reprimanded and said with a wry smile: "This is not a good thing. People will see it later. How should we explain it? We have been punished a lot, but now if we do it again, we will suffer a lot in the future. have eaten!"

At this point, Li Lingyue changed the subject: "But it's quite a relief. If the old witch knew that someone was openly provoking her, she would definitely be furious, haha!"

When Li Lingyue spoke, her eyes subconsciously looked at Taiqing Palace... Suddenly, the smile on her face froze.

"Princess! What's wrong with you!"

Gong'er saw Li Lingyue frozen on the spot and waved his hand in front of her eyes. However, the latter grabbed her wrist, pointed in the direction of Taiqing Palace, and asked incoherently:

"Girl, please help me take a look! Is the roof of Taiqing Palace... missing?"

"how is this possible!"

Gong'er chuckled, turned her head and looked towards the main hall, only to hear a sound of 'Ah', the little girl covered her mouth in shock and her eyes widened.

Apparently, she also discovered something magical.

Just as Li Lingyue saw, the roof of the Taiqing Hall, the main hall of Taipingguan, disappeared in just one night. Only three walls were left in the original place. The remaining bricks and tiles were piled up into a hill. The Sanqing Temple was enshrined inside. The statues of gods were also damaged.

The entire hall looked like it had been blown up by a missile. Li Lingyue's scalp went numb when she saw it, and she seriously suspected that it was aliens.

In her opinion, house demolition is by no means as simple as steaming steamed buns. Even in her day, it still required the demolition team to use large machinery to complete the task.

Although Taiqing Hall is not as good as those towers in the imperial palace, it is still a building more than ten meters high. It would be difficult for ordinary people to climb up to the roof, let alone dismantle the entire roof.

The most important thing is that he and Gong'er have been sleeping outside the palace and haven't heard any sound. This is really incredible.

Li Lingyue pulled Gong'er out of the curtain, and the scene outside was even more shocking.

The door that was originally closed has been opened, and the door panel is missing. The Taoist plaque hanging on the door fell to the ground, and the middle part has been broken into two parts. The green courtyard wall has also been pushed to a large area. Looking around, it comes into view. Everywhere, there are ruins and dilapidated buildings.

"Princess! What on earth is going on?"

Gong'er's eyes widened and she looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Li Lingyue shook her head and muttered: "Strange, where are the people from the Taoist temple? Where have they gone?"

"That's right! Usually at this time, the morning bell should ring, but why is there no one in the front yard today!" Gong'er agreed.

Li Lingyue had a bad premonition, thought about it, and said to Gong'er: "Girl, let's go to the inner courtyard and have a look!"

After that, she pulled Gong'er towards the inner courtyard. After walking a few steps, Li Lingyue wrinkled her nose and smelled a faint smell of blood.

The further you go in, the stronger the smell of blood.

Suddenly, Gong'er let out a scream, pointed at the grass not far away, and said in a trembling voice:

"Princess, there...there seems to be a Taoist priest lying there!"

Li Lingyue patted her shoulder and stepped forward to check on her own. With just one glance, her stomach immediately turned upside down, and then she made a "wow" sound and continued to vomit.

The Taoist priest died in a horrific manner. One of his arms was cut off, with tendons still attached to the wound, and the severed hand held a sword.And his cheek was split into two pieces by a sharp weapon. The wound was deep and wide. Blood gushed out from inside, and finally solidified into a dark red blood clot.

'What a cruel killing method! '

Li Lingyue's back felt cold, and Gong'er, who was standing far away, urged worriedly: "Princess, are you okay? Come back quickly!"

The little girl was timid and did not dare to come over despite several attempts, so she could only stay where she was.

But Li Lingyue was different. At Yang Sijian's house, Empress Wu let her see the murder scene for the first time. That time, she even vomited all the acid in her stomach.

Later on during my trip to Yanzhou, I got used to seeing big scenes of beheadings. The more times I vomited, the more I became numb.

Li Lingyue took off her coat, covered the deceased's face, and then continued to lead Gong'er to the back house.

Along the way, the bodies of four or five Taoist priests were discovered one after another. There were signs of fighting around them.

Almost all of the Taoist priests who were killed were members of the Tiandao Sect who knew martial arts, and they all held important positions: either as supervisors, deacons, or in charge.

Not long after, the master and servant entered the inner courtyard. Most of the doors were open. Either there was no one inside, or there was a body lying inside.

The two of them checked along the way, and when passing by a larger house, they found that the door was closed.

Li Lingyue pushed the door open and walked in. The scene inside made her let out a long sigh of relief.

I saw a group of little Taoist priests still alive in the room, including men and women. Their bodies were all tied up with ropes, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth balls.

Without any time to think, Li Lingyue and Gong'er quickly stepped forward and untied everyone.

"Senior brother Lingyun, what happened? Why are you tied up?" Li Lingyue found Lingyun and asked first.

Lingyun's face turned pale, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked and said:

"The disciple doesn't know either. I just remember that in the middle of the night, there was the sound of fighting outside the house. Before the disciple could go out to check, a man in black broke in. I don't remember what happened after that! Princess, where is the master? She Where are you being held?"

Li Lingyue didn't answer, just said a few words of relief, and then asked several other Taoist priests. Their answers were almost the same as Lingyun. Most of them were brought here after being knocked unconscious.

Everything that happened was too weird, which made Li Lingyue extremely confused.

What she couldn't figure out was: Why did the murderer demolish the Taoist temple?What's the purpose of doing this?Furthermore, the murderer could obviously kill them all, so why did he deliberately leave them alive?Does the murderer still have his conscience?Or was it a selective massacre?

After rescuing everyone, Li Lingyue worked non-stop and followed Lingyun to find the whereabouts of Yu Zhenzi and Shi Qingfeng.

After searching around, Xie couldn't find the two of them.

In the entire Taiping Temple, except for Li Lingyue and Gong'er, there are only a dozen Taoist priests with relatively low qualifications. The huge Taoist temple does not even have a person in charge, so it can be described as a mess.

Although she was full of doubts, Li Lingyue had no time to think about it because there was a more difficult question before her right now:

The Taoist temple is gone and the steward has run away. Who should she, a princess who is dedicated to the righteous way, to report to? !
