Long Chen rode to the gate of the palace, Qingyue and Xuan Yi returned to the West Palace first, and Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi followed them into Fengming Palace.
When they arrived at the door, Yingfeng saw Long Chen and ran into the imperial study room in surprise, shouting: "Your Majesty, King Wu is back!"
The empress was waiting for Long Chen. When she heard that Long Chen was back, she immediately got up and walked to the door, where she saw Long Chen and the others returning.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen quickly saluted.
Emperor Luoxi and Emperor Lingyi bowed and said: "My sons and ministers pay homage to the queen mother."
The empress said happily: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back."
The trip to Holy Snow Peak was too dangerous, and the empress was really worried that Long Chen would not be able to come back.
"Come in, sit down, and talk about what happened this time."
The empress wanted to know the situation of Sheng Xuefeng.
Sitting down in the imperial study room, Ying Feng screened away everyone and closed the door.
The trip to Shengxue Peak is a confidential matter and no outsiders are allowed to hear about it.
After sitting down, Long Chen said: "That day, Wei Chen and Liu Hanyan went on the road together and arrived at Shengxue Peak as Xu Zhi..."
As the story of what happened was explained in detail, the empress' face became more solemn as she listened, and Yingfeng's face turned pale with shock.
"So, the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl are still there, and the remnants of their birth have been lurking in the Central Plains for hundreds of years."
The empress' face was gloomy.
Di Luoxi was slightly surprised. Just now Long Chen mentioned that he was from the Long family and also mentioned Long Weiyang, but the empress was calm and not surprised at all.
Di Luoxi thought to herself: Could it be that...the Queen Mother already knew Long Chen's identity?
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were both surprised, but Long Chen was not surprised.
The empress should have guessed her true identity a long time ago, and she even knows that she is a fake eunuch.
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the ghost fetuses are wandering around the Central Plains. They definitely want to resurrect the Martial Saint and the ghost girl, lead the ghost tribe to invade the Central Plains again, and even seek revenge on us."
The Empress and Long Chen were both descendants of the Eighteenth General, and both had fought against the Martial Saint. They were both traitors in the eyes of Gui Fei.
The empress mused: "The ghost fetus has been in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and must have been very powerful, and even...infiltrated into the imperial court."
Gui Fei is so powerful. He has cultivated many forces in the Central Plains for more than two hundred years.
"Long Yuan is willing to stand by my side. Weichen knows something about the distribution of Guitai's power."
However, the empress did not trust Long Yuan and said, "Long Yuan was raised by a ghost. What if what she tells is a lie?"
Long Chen remained silent.
This possibility exists, and it is very likely.
Long Chen also hesitated. If Long Yuan deceived him, the consequences would be disastrous.
"You only need to test it out to find out, and remove the known forces."
Long Yuan talked about the sects and gangs she knew. These organizations were spread throughout the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Nanliang.
The empress nodded slightly and said: "Okay, at least clear out what you know."
The forces of ghost fetuses are so intricate that they can be eliminated as much as they can.
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "Wei Chen will handle this matter."
The ghost fetus has such a high level of cultivation that even the empress can do nothing. Only Long Chen can do it.
"You and Luo Xi, Ling Yi's marriage is ready, and the auspicious day has been chosen..."
The empress looked at the two princesses. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi suddenly became shy.
Long Chen looked at the two princesses, but shook his head and said: "Wei Chen requested to postpone the marriage."
Di Luoxi frowned and said displeasedly: "Why the delay?"
She thought Long Chen was unwilling to marry.
Long Chen said: "My current body is half human and half ghost, how can I get married to you?"
"Also, if the ghost fetus has not been eradicated, if...if you become pregnant, you will become a target of attack."
Long Chen was most worried about the latter. If Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were pregnant, it was entirely possible for the ghost fetus to attack them both.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi felt a chill...
The empress nodded and said, "Yes, the marriage must be postponed. No one will be safe until the ghost is eliminated."
The imperial study fell into silence for a while...
What happened 400 years ago has actually affected the present. Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl are still sleeping somewhere and may wake up at any time. The Central Plains is facing a disaster, and this burden is on the heads of these people. Everyone feels a little bit
Out of breath.
"Luo Xi, Ling Yi, please go out for a moment. I have something to say to Long Chen alone."
The empress directly called Long Chen by his name.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi stood up and exited the imperial study, while Yingfeng stood guard outside the door.
Only the empress and Long Chen were left in the imperial study.
"Did Your Majesty already know this?"
Long Chen asked directly.
The empress looked at Long Chen, leaning on the imperial couch, wearing a thin iris blue tube top skirt, with fair shoulders, and smiled, and asked: "What do you know? Do you know that you are Long Chen, do you know that you are not a eunuch?"
"
Long Chen's face looked slightly embarrassed. The empress had indeed known about it for a long time, but she never said anything.
"Since the Holy One already knew it, why didn't he expose it?"
This is what Long Chen is confused about.
The empress said: "You have a blood feud with Li Chengdao, Shi Le, and the barbarians, and they can be used by me. Why should I expose you?"
Long Chen thought to himself: Then you still dare to put me in the harem, are your four daughters related to each other?
Long Chen smiled, the empress' explanation was reasonable.
But...that's not the point.
"Has the Holy One already known about Wu Sheng?"
This is what Long Chen is most concerned about.
The Empress never said anything about the Martial Saint, but Long Chen always felt that the Empress knew about it.
The empress remained silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and took out a jade volume from the cabinet.
This is a jade book made of jade polished into bamboo sheets and made into a roll.
"This is the jade album left by Taizu, which records the events of that year."
The empress handed the jade book to Long Chen.
I took the jade album and unfolded it. On it are the records of the year by Taizu of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which were written in great detail.
When Wu Sheng fought with the ghost girl, he felt the power of the ghost clan. Wu Sheng had been pursuing power all his life. He was persuaded by the ghost girl and joined the ghost clan.
He became the Martial Saint of the Ghost Clan. He wanted everyone in the world to become the Ghost Clan and become the king of the world.
Long Yuan, the ancestor of the Long family, was the first to object and led his soldiers to fight back. In the battle of Wuli Mountain, 14 of Wu Sheng's 18 generals opposed it and 4 followed him.
The battle was very tragic. Humans and ghosts fought for several years, with millions of people killed.
In the end, Wu Sheng and the ghost girl were severely injured, and the ghost tribe was driven out of the Hera Pass.
Taizu of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty knew that Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl would return sooner or later, so he left a jade volume and sealed it in the Eastern Zhou Palace.
Taizu left a legacy: if there is a female emperor in the Zhou Dynasty who steps into the emperor realm, she should open the secret room, take out the jade book and look at it.
After the empress stepped into the emperor's palace, she took out the jade book and learned about the past 400 years ago.
After reading the jade book, Long Chen completely understood what happened back then.
"Your Majesty...why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Long Chen wanted to say, why did the empress hide it from him?
If he had known about this earlier, Long Chen would have been more prepared instead of entering Holy Snow Peak rashly.
The empress said: "Don't blame me. This matter is too big. If I had told you at that time..."
"Actually, I'm betting that you can come back alive."
"Based on my cultivation alone, I can't compete with the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl. I can't even deal with the Ghost Fetus."
"I need you to go to Holy Snow Peak, so...I hid it."
The Empress is right to say this. If Long Chen had not gone to Holy Snow Peak, he would not have achieved his current level of cultivation.
But no, the empress also concealed something.
"Don't you have anything else to say, Your Majesty?"
