Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Of course, at that time she didn't know the difference between an official and an official.

Those refugees were also very kind to Chai Hongyu, and they often chatted with Xiao Chai Hongyu to relieve boredom. Later, they even took Chai Hongyu as their spiritual sustenance, telling Chai Hongyu the wishes and yearnings of ordinary people like them from time to time.

And these words, after they fell to the yellow sand one after another, were deeply engraved in Chai Hongyu's mind and became her lifelong obsession.

Seeing this, Lu Chen finally vaguely felt why Chai Hongyu was so obsessed with him, even putting himself in danger to save him from the enemy's inevitable attack, and now even disregarding his identity as a traitor, Go to Beijing in person to prove his innocence.

Realizing this, Lu Chen suddenly felt an indescribable heaviness, which made him a little out of breath.

He couldn't help feeling self-doubt in his heart for the first time.

Shengxian, is it really that important...

In other words, is this system called the way of being an official, the weird reward conditions, really an obvious loophole...

Corruption is rampant in the officialdom. As the parents and officials of the people, the monks only care about the gods and ask questions, but they don't ask about politics. Slaughtering those who are in trouble, and forcing one side to be peaceful and peaceful, this is the way of being an official...how can the common people have a reason for stability?

The people are in such a difficult situation, but he obviously holds an important position, shoulders the trust of the emperor, bears the heavy responsibility of the high-ranking person and the expectations of all parties, and has enough ability and opportunity to change all this, but he puts his mind on relying on the strange conditions of the system Shengxian...

Is this really good?

Chai Hongyu is obviously a traitor, but he has devoted everything to keep his rare hope. Although he, an upright official of the court, has done some practical things for the people and the country, but based on these alone, if he really has a chance to meet the system requirements in the future , Can he really put aside all this with peace of mind, and ascend to the fairy world by committing suicide?

The memory continues.

However, the memory that follows is no longer the picture of Chai Hongyu when she was a child, but the night when Chai Hongyu, who had already cultivated her skills, was in Yuzhou and was slaughtered in Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village, she saw Lu Chen for the first time. scene.

The caster of the soul search technique can feel the emotional fluctuations in the memory world of the soul searcher.

In Chai Hongyu's field of vision, Lu Chen looked at him who suddenly pulled out the sword of the extreme way, rode a royal horse and led a group of Xuanji guards to Yuzhou without hesitation, and was drifting away when he was about to kill King Yu. From the back, one can clearly feel how shocked and curious Chai Hongyu was at that time.

And, longing.

Afterwards, he walked out of King Yu's mansion with King Yu's head in his hand, and soon met Li Wei's house in Gou'er Village. They talked for the first time, and then watched him go to various places to help the people in person from a distance.

In the end, he and a group of Xuanji guards were attacked by the enemy at Fu Yu's crossing the catastrophe. Chai Hongyu led a group of righteous men to rescue them.

In the middle, there is no unusual intersection at all.

A proper meeting by chance.

Obviously, being here is enough to prove that she and Lu Chenqing are innocent, and there is no connection at all, let alone love for a concubine, life and death.

And with constant empathy, Lu Chen's heart gradually became extremely complicated.

In Chai Hongyu's heart, how radiant she is, but...

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

And at this moment, when the memory progressed to the point where he was blasted back to Luojing by the enemy's fire spell, the moment his figure disappeared, in her eyes, like Fu Wei, who thought he had been buried in the hands of the enemy, the world suddenly become red.

This memory ends here.

I don't know whether Chai Hongyu lost her mind or passed out because of overdrawing her spiritual power.

But Lu Chen felt it very clearly. At the moment when Chai Hongyu's vision was covered with fiery red, a wave of despair suddenly gushed out from the depths of his heart, as if he had lost the whole world and the meaning of existence.

That strong emotion made Lu Chen's spirit tremble suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the next memory followed.

After regaining consciousness again, her subordinates handed her a mysterious note, on which was written the news that Lu Chen was safe and sound and had returned to Beijing in rubbing script.

Lu Chen knew that this must be Fu Wei's handwriting.

The moment Lu Chen saw the above information, he felt a surge of joy.

At the same time, in the Tai Chi Hall.

poof...

Accompanied by a few muffled sounds, Chen Cang, Zhao Bingliang and several courtiers suddenly fell to the ground. Looking carefully, their faces were pale, their eyes were extremely hollow, and there was a deep gleam in their eyes. deep despair.

It's over...everything is over...

"Whoo~"

The Empress let out a breath of foul air slowly.

Things have come to this point, the matter is no longer in dispute.

Everything will be settled.

She slowly stretched out her hand, wiped the fine sweat off her face, and then didn't even bother to look at the courtier who was making noise behind her. Chai Hongyu glanced at her facial features.

A look of admiration gradually appeared in his eyes.

For the sake of righteousness, this woman actually did this for Lu Chen. She clearly endured unimaginable pain, but until now she still kept silent and did not let out a single wail of pain, which affected Lu Chen who was performing the soul search technique. .

This tenacity is really terrifying.

In this world, there is a strange woman who is as tough as Lu Qing...

Chapter 168

After confirming that the images in the teleportation circle were enough to prove Lu Chen's innocence and that Chai Hongyu did not hesitate to put aside their opposing positions and risk her life to save Lu Chen because she admired Lu Chen, the empress was completely relieved. .

In this way, not only will this incident not leave a stain on Lu Chen, but it will greatly enhance his reputation.

After all, Lu Chen's noble character and extreme benevolence can even influence the chief general of the biggest rebel in the world!

How outrageous is this? !

Since ancient times, how many people can do this? !

The Peerless National Scholar deserves his name!

However, after the dust settled on Lu Chen, the empress suddenly became a little heavy when she recalled the tragic experience of Chai Hongyu when she was a child.

Although she was not the one who was in power at that time, no matter what, the people suffered so much under the rule of the court. Those scenes of hell-like scenes, their crimes would be added to the fate of Daxia.

Recalling what Lu Chen once said, especially the phrase "The king is like a boat, the people are like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it".

It may sound alarmist, but the empress regards it as the most reasonable.

But now, Chai Hongyu, or the rebels who are now entrenched in the northern part of Tianlan Province, as well as the mobs and rebels who are constantly shaking the foundation of Daxia's rule, fully prove this point.

Although these traitors are still unable to overthrow the sky, and Yu Jiuyuan, Chai Hongyu and others do not have the strength to fight against the imperial court, but one can't do it, what about two?What about three?

If the imperial court does not pay attention to the common people, and allows the corrupt officials in Chai Hongyu's hometown to act recklessly, or devote themselves to cultivating Taoism regardless of people's livelihood, sooner or later there will be more Yu Jiuyuan and more Chai Hongyu until the Great Xia Dynasty is overthrown.

Realizing this, the empress quickly fell into deep thought.

She couldn't help but think about how the millennium Great Xia has been corrupted under all kinds of evils... If the "Rejuvenation Trend" created by the late emperor is like this, then after six years of the Demon Queen's reign, the people of Great Xia , How much life is left?

Thinking of this, a solemn look quietly appeared in the empress' eyes.

The burden on the shoulders seems not as simple as imagined.

To create the truly prosperous world that Lu Chen is looking forward to, there is a long way to go...

Shaking her head, she was about to stop the Yuanling technique and at the same time interrupt the soul search technique.

It's not that she couldn't hold on anymore.

Although the secret method of the extreme way consumes a lot, she is the master of the sword of the extreme way after all, and there are various magic circles in the Taiji Hall that can provide boosts for the supreme beings who practice the way of the emperor, so she naturally does not need to use the secret method of the extreme way. Lu Chen risked his life like that.

Just a little tired.

The main reason is that now that Lu Chen's innocence has been proven, there is no need to continue the soul search and let Chai Hongyu continue to suffer.

However, just when she was about to withdraw her spiritual power——

Whoa whoa whoa! !

Accompanied by a sudden burst of heat, Chai Hongyu's body suddenly burst into a dazzling red light.

Immediately afterwards, the red light suddenly contracted extremely rapidly, forming a fiery red translucent energy body in the blink of an eye.

"Qiangqiang!"

There was a loud and sonorous cry, and the translucent energy body turned into a two-foot-wide divine bird, wrapping Chai Hongyu firmly in the energy body.

Seeing this sudden scene, everyone turned pale with shock.

"Escort! Escort!!"

"Protect Your Majesty!!"

"Your Majesty, back off!"

"... "

Xuanjiwei and a group of imperial guards started to move one after another.

Facing the reminders from the courtiers, the Empress raised her hand calmly, and said calmly: "It's just a trivial matter, don't panic, all step back, with Gu Aiqing here, I'm very safe."

Hearing this, everyone still hesitated to remind them again.

However, the empress just held the sword of extreme dao, walked up to Lu Chen silently, and said in a concentrated voice:

"Get out!"

Feeling this unquestionable order, everyone's expression froze immediately, and they didn't dare to say another word.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The riot stopped there.

The next moment, as if to prove the empress' judgment was correct, the fiery red bird-like energy body suddenly condensed on Chai Hongyu's body, and with the influx of this energy, the originally painful expression on Chai Hongyu's face began to gradually fade away. eased down.

"Oh?"

Gu Simiao who was at the side suddenly let out a light snort.

"Rebirth from the ashes, an immortal spirit body..."

She slowly put down her hands that were holding the hilt of the long sword at her waist, and the incomparably surging spiritual power in her body gradually dissipated and returned to her spiritual veins.

"A descendant of Suzaku... tsk tsk, no wonder they led a group of mobs to make such a fuss in the three provinces of Qingning and Ningxia. Even Wang Gan couldn't do anything about her. Is that the case..."

Hearing this, the Empress also recalled a certain record in the Royal Secret Code, and for some reason, she gave Lu Chen a subtle look, with a hint of meaning in her eyes.

This little episode passed quickly.

At the same time, the picture on the shadow transfer circle changed again.
