Chapter 164 The Day of Enthronement 10
A few people were vigilant and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.Not far away, a familiar figure in white walked slowly towards them.

"You guys are here. The Empress has something to say to you all. Please follow me to the main hall."

Huai Chen didn't intentionally hide his aura, he appeared openly in front of Gu Hanhan and the others, and after saluting unhurriedly, explained his intentions to them.

"Now? Is it a little too late..."

Gu Hanhan looked at the sky, the sky had gradually darkened, and the purple-red sunset glow gradually covered the sky.

"No, it's just a few words, and it won't waste too much time."

Huai Chen spoke lightly, but there was a bit of refusal in his tone.Regarding this, Gu Hanhan didn't argue with him anymore, nodded, and walked towards the direction Huai Chen led.

After arriving at the main hall, Huai Chen stopped in front of the hall gate, turned his body slightly, and made a gesture of inviting him in.Gu Hanhan glanced at Huaichen who had no intention of entering the palace, and without saying anything, stepped into the gate of the main hall.

"Several people are here, there is something I must tell you now."

Only two candle lamps were lit in the palace, and the windows were closed, making the room look very dark.The Queen's voice came from the main seat on the high platform. A screen was placed in front of her, and only a beautiful figure could be seen appearing on the screen, dazedly, flickering with the candlelight.

"What's so urgent?"

Gu Hanhan raised his head to look at the phantom on the high platform, with a calm expression, he asked unhurriedly.

"As for the heir appointed by the late emperor, we have already found out who it is."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Hanhan and the others were startled, and looked at the queen sitting behind the screen on the high platform with complicated eyes.

"who is it?"

"Who is the candidate, all the immortals will know at a glance."

The queen didn't say it directly, but waved slightly, and the shadow of a small court lady appeared behind the screen.A moment later, a little palace maid wearing a grass-green palace dress and a double-ring bun walked out from the side of the screen, and walked quickly to Gu Hanhan and the others, holding a scroll in both hands.

With a bang, the scroll was opened, and Gu Hanhan and the others rushed forward, only to see a few large characters written in black ink on the yellowed brocade cloth.

"I know that my time is running out, so I leave this secret letter to appoint my successor. The person who will succeed me is the eldest prince of the current dynasty, Liu Yi."

Liu Yi?It's him again?

After Gu Hanhan and the others finished reading, the little maid closed the scroll, and immediately walked back to the queen in small steps, before disappearing behind the screen.

"How can you be sure that this scroll is left by the late emperor?"

Gu Hanhan looked at the slightly swaying black figure on the screen and asked.

"This scroll was found in a secret compartment in the late emperor's palace. The handwriting is that of the former imperial teacher. The scroll is also stamped with the emperor's exclusive jade seal. There is no mistake."

The queen's voice was a little hoarse, as if she was exhausted.

"This matter is settled like this, the enthronement ceremony will be arranged in a few days, and I hope that you can help us to ensure that the enthronement ceremony can be carried out smoothly.

The candidate for the new emperor has been decided, and the civil and military officials have been notified today, the palace people will take care of the ceremony, so I don't bother you to worry about it.

It's getting late today, let's leave first and rest early. "

Seeing that the queen wanted to see off the guests, Gu Hanhan didn't plan to stay for a long time. After exchanging glances with Li Tiantian and the others, he turned and walked outside the house.

After leaving the palace, the sky had completely darkened. To Gu Hanhan's surprise, there was no sign of Mr. Huai Chen in the night.

In the darkness of night, dots of fluorescent red light seem to float in the air, looming.

Not right, not right... Oops!
Gu Hanhan took a few steps ahead, suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned around and rushed towards the gate of the main hall.

"Sister Han, what's the matter?"

Gu Hanhan rushed to the gate in a few steps, but the door was closed at some point, and it was tightly closed. Gu Hanhan kicked it several times without kicking it open.

Li Tiantian and the others hurriedly followed, looking at Gu Hanhan who was pushing the door hard, asked with some puzzlement.

Mo Han and Li Xinyi reacted first, and hurried to the door to help push the door open together.

"There's something wrong here, the queen may have a problem!"

Li Xinyi yelled at Li Tiantian, who was a little confused, and pushed the door hard with both hands.

Li Tiantian reacted immediately, and shouted at Gu Hanhan and the others: "Everyone, get out of the way, let me come!"

Gu Hanhan and the others immediately stepped back a few steps to the side to make room.Li Tiantian took a deep breath and activated his skill: Strike with all his strength.

I saw Li Tiantian lowered his body, took a few steps back, and then rushed towards the door, knocking the door open with his body.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the heavy wooden door smashed a big hole in the shape of a human being, enough for Gu Hanhan and the others to enter.

"Are you OK."

Looking at Li Tiantian who was covered in sawdust, Gu Hanhan couldn't help but asked with concern, sizing him up with his eyes to see if there was any wound.

"It's okay, let's go in."

Li Tiantian shook his head vigorously, shook off the sawdust on his body, and walked towards the main hall.

Gu Hanhan nodded slightly, quickened his pace, and entered the main hall.All the candles in the main hall had been extinguished, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, not even a single ray of light could be seen.

He listened vigilantly to the movements around him, and after confirming that there was no threat in the hall, Gu Hanhan took out the lighting props, and immediately, the hall was much brighter.

Li Tiantian and Li Xinyi gathered next to Gu Hanhan and searched around the hall with the light.

"Nobody, and nothing weird..."

Gu Hanhan muttered to himself, and slowly walked towards the high platform where the queen was just now.

Logically speaking, the queen should not be able to leave the palace in such a short period of time, unless...

Walking behind the screen, under the bright light, Gu Hanhan and the others gathered at the chair, only to see that there was no one there.

The queen is not here, and neither is the court lady...

Gu Hanhan thought in his heart, looked up at the ceiling.

This is the red line?
On the beam of the house, several red silk threads were wrapped around it, swaying slightly in the darkness, with a faint posture of dissipating, turning into dots of red light and floating in the wind.

Sure enough, the queen...is no longer human.

Seeing Gu Hanhan looking up at the ceiling, Li Tiantian and the others followed suit, looked at the beam, and looked at the beam with the white light. After seeing those tiny red lines, everyone's expression changed immediately, and they understood something.

"Let's go, they're not here, let's go back to our palace first."

Gu Hanhan sighed, looked away from the ceiling, and said to several people.

Realizing that there was no smell of people or other strange creatures in the main hall, Li Xinyi and the others understood that there was no point in staying here. They nodded and followed Gu Hanhan to leave the palace.
