The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader

Chapter 279 The Empress Seriously Injured Wan Ning

A deep sense of loss welled up in the empress's heart, but Emperor Bai didn't seem to notice her change of mood.

Baidi's deep and sharp eyes were filled with horror at the scene before him. When he entered the room, his sight was firmly attracted by the messy scene in the room. At this moment, the empress was violently attacking a delicate and fragile young woman, and when she noticed Baidi's arrival, she quickly put away her hideous and terrifying face like lightning. However, these meaningless cover-ups were meaningless to Baidi, because he knew her true nature in his heart.

Not only that, Baidi also noticed that Qingtian's men were tightly suppressing another person who looked very similar to himself.

Then, his eyes slowly fell on Chu Wanning who was near the door, and saw that she was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground. Baidi, who had the cultivation level of the Immortal King, saw through her true appearance at a glance and found that she was actually a rare Tiannv Lan!

His gaze paused for a moment on Chu Wan Ning, and although his heart was already in turmoil, he immediately pretended to be calm and looked away. The reason he was so cautious was that staring at her for too long would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the emperor and empress.

Baidi immediately turned to face the Emperor and Empress, and asked in a calm tone:

"Empress, what has made you so angry?"

There was a hint of concern and confusion in his voice.

The Empress's face was gloomy, and she clenched her teeth tightly, as if she was suppressing endless anger. Her eyes were cold and sharp, making people shudder. After a long while, she finally squeezed out a few words from between her teeth:

"Two arrogant people broke into the harem. As you can see, one of them disguised himself as a man to deceive me! Haha! The other one is even more abominable. He relied on his resemblance to the White Emperor to try to disrupt the Emperor's harem~"

The words of the empress exploded in the air like thunder, with undisguised anger and ridicule. Everyone present gasped, looked at each other, and dared not speak.

Baidi frowned slightly, thinking to himself. It would be difficult to save these two people without making a fuss. He knew the methods and schemes of the emperor and empress very well, and he might get into trouble if he was not careful.

Bai Di's mind was working fast, and the mystery of Chu Wan Ning's identity was always lingering in his mind. He concluded that this woman must be related to He Zhiwei, and the secret hidden behind this was undoubtedly irresistible to him.

However, when the name "Tian Nu Lan" sounded in his ears, a subtle ripple seemed to appear in the depths of his memory. This strange yet familiar name made him curious. But he knew that he had to remain calm at this moment and must not show any abnormality.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He knew that he had a great mission and must not reveal his identity because of a momentary impulse. Otherwise, if he aroused the vigilance of the emperor and empress, not only would he be in danger, but the elephant master, who was very important, might also be implicated, and the situation would become out of control.

Baidi turned around slowly, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion, as if mixed with anger, concern and helplessness. He tried his best to remain calm and asked the emperor and empress in a low and gentle voice:

"Empress, are you frightened?"

The Empress's eyes trembled slightly, as if she was trying to control her inner emotions. She forced a smile and replied:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am fine."

However, that smile seemed a little forced.

Baidi nodded slightly to show that he understood. Then he looked at the emperor and empress and said firmly:

"Since these two have not caused you any actual harm, I can rest assured. As for these two, I will deal with them personally."

As expected, the Empress was not going to give up easily. She sneered, her voice was icy and piercing, with undisguised irony:

"Your Majesty, these two dared to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the harem, which shows that they have ulterior motives. In my opinion, let me interrogate them personally. I believe that their true colors will be revealed!"

Baidi's heart tightened. He knew the ruthless methods of the Empress. If these two people fell into her hands, they would probably suffer inhuman torture and destruction. Thinking of this, Baidi couldn't help but frowned, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse the Empress's request.

"Your Majesty, I think we can start the investigation from the following aspects. First, send someone to secretly monitor the actions of the two suspects to see if they have any abnormal behavior. Second, we can investigate their backgrounds and origins to see if they have any connection with other forces. Finally, if necessary, we can interrogate them to get more information."

The Queen nodded, indicating her approval of Qingtian's suggestion. She looked at Baidi and said:

"In that case, let's do as Qingtian said. I hope we can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Baidi bowed quickly and replied:

"I will follow the orders of the Emperor and Empress." But he was secretly planning his next plan.

He decided to look for clues about He Zhiwei himself and could not rely entirely on Qingtian. At the same time, he had to be careful to deal with the surveillance of the emperor and empress to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed difficult. However, I think we can start with these two people and find out their identities and intentions. If they really have ill intentions, we naturally cannot let them go; if it is a misunderstanding, we can also give them a chance to clear their name."

Baidi listened to Qingtian's suggestion and nodded slightly to show his approval. He knew that Qingtian had a keen eye and a careful mind, and this suggestion might be worth a try. So, Baidi responded:

"Well, then it's as you say. From now on, you don't have to serve in the Emperor's Palace anymore. Return to my side and serve as the chief guard. Now, take these two away. If there is anything in the future, just report directly to me."

Hearing this, Qingtian was secretly happy in his heart, but he did not dare to show any emotion on the surface, and still obeyed the order respectfully and thanked the emperor. After the permission of the White Emperor and the Empress, he used his spiritual power again to tie up Chu Wanning and Fu Qian tightly, and then took them away.

However, the Empress's expression was obviously not as satisfied as Baidi's. She looked at Qingtian's figure walking away, with a hint of dissatisfaction and sarcasm in her tone, and said to Baidi:

"Your Majesty, did you make such an arrangement because you are too confident in the guards of the Baidi Palace? Or do you think that I no longer need guards here?"

His words were full of doubts and resentment towards the Emperor's decision.

"What? Is it that our words, those of us named Xiang, are no longer effective?"
