Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

With Concubine Wen's intelligence, she immediately heard the emperor's hidden meaning and focused all her attention on the third princess. She told him not to waste his time on her because his heart had already been given to someone else.

Concubine Wen looked at the back of Emperor Shenwu as he left without hesitation, and collapsed to the ground, feeling disheartened and heartbroken.

Master Buyu had moved into the Huangjue Temple in the palace. One day, he was reading Buddhist scriptures and frowned slightly when he came across something he didn't understand.

Lan Qingwu and Ruhan just came in and said softly, "Young Master, you have some confusion. I also have some knowledge of Buddhist scriptures. We can discuss it."

Master Buyu quickly stood up and clasped his hands together in greeting to Lan Qingwu: "Amitabha!"

"Young master, there's no need to be so polite." Lan Qingwu raised his hand slightly to signal the silent master to stand up.

"Young Master, please stay in Huangjue Temple for a few days. After some time, I will ask His Majesty to let you return to Guoan Temple. I am really sorry for you."

Bu Yu hurriedly said, "I am ashamed to accept this. If I have to apologize, I should apologize to you for my senior brother's words and actions. Please don't take my senior brother's words to heart."

When Lan Qingwu heard Master Zhiyan, she thought of the presumptuous words that were like a curse. It was impossible for her to say that she didn't care. She changed the subject and discussed Buddhist scriptures with Master Buyu for a while. She also asked Ruhan to leave some Buddhist scriptures and was about to leave.

When they reached the door, Master Buyu finally couldn't help but speak: "Sir, don't believe what Senior Brother said. I believe you will be able to turn misfortune into fortune, and good times will come after bad times. Since you are here, there must be a reason for you to be here."

Lan Qingwu's heart moved slightly, he turned around and looked at his silent master, and the next moment he just smiled with relief.

Emperor Shenwu was reading the Records of Imperial Secrets in the Qianzheng Hall. Li Xiang was standing behind the emperor. He was not quite sure why Emperor Shenwu was reading the Records of Imperial Secrets, as he had read them from time to time as mythological stories when he was young.

After some time, Emperor Shenwu took Lan Qingwu to the Chunfeng Restaurant. While resting in the upper room, Emperor Shenwu casually said, "Do you want to go to Guoan Temple to see the scenery?"

Lan Qingwu immediately understood that Emperor Shenwu wanted to take him to see Master Kunku, or to meet Master Zhiyan. Emperor Shenwu had not let go of this matter yet.

Lan Qingwu lowered his eyes slightly. "Your Majesty, I don't want to go. You shouldn't take me with you. Does Brother Heng really believe what Master Zhiyan said? Do you think I won't live long?"

Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but frown: "Don't talk nonsense! That's not what I meant!"

Lan Qingwu quickly continued, "That's right. With Your Majesty's protection, I will definitely live a long life."

Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu in his arms. He knew that Lan Qingwu was resistant, so he thought of doing this slowly. If he couldn't go to Guoan Temple this time, he would find an opportunity to go next time.

Emperor Shenwu came here to deal with some matters. Lan Qingwu gently pulled Emperor Shenwu's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, you need to go take care of your own affairs. I want to go out for a walk."

"Isn't it just to get something from the Treasure Pavilion? Let Ruhan go. Wait a moment. After I finish my business, I will accompany you to the cinema to see paintings."

Lan Qingwu's eyes lit up. The paintings in the movie theater were all famous paintings by literati and poets, which were difficult for ordinary people to see.

Ruhan followed the order and went to the Treasure Pavilion, mainly to get the letters to contact Gao Lanyan and others and solve some problems in Qingciyuan. Ruping stayed in the room to serve Lan Qingwu.

The room was quiet. After taking a nap, Lan Qingwu got up from the bed. The room was empty. Lan Qingwu frowned slightly and walked lightly to the door. He saw Ruping standing outside the door in a daze. Lan Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. What happened that could make the usually steady Ruping show such an expression?

In another upper room, Emperor Shenwu sat on the throne with a solemn expression, and Qi Zhinan was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.

Emperor Shenwu spoke slowly: "Qi Zhinan, you used your merits to exchange for your sister's entry into the palace. What else can you offer now? The mistakes made by Concubine Qi cannot be offset by you."

Qi Zhinan's face gradually turned pale, and he could no longer open his mouth to plead for his sister.

At that moment, Qian Hui hurried into the room, his face slightly grim, and he knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, something has happened! Someone has kidnapped Miss Ruhan. According to the guards who returned, it seems to be a small group of robbers from the outskirts of the imperial city."

The Emperor's pupils shrank slightly. After a moment's thought, his heart sank. He was afraid that those people weren't targeting Ruhan... Thinking of Ruhan's position in Lan Qingwu's heart, his expression became even more stern: "Is Leng Qujing here? Ask him to go to the suburbs to rescue someone. Remember, make sure to bring them back unharmed!"

Qian Hui immediately took the order and left. Qi Zhinan, who was kneeling on the ground, also took the opportunity to leave the room.

The expression on Emperor Shenwu's face did not improve. He closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment he spoke softly, "Illusionary Wind!"

The leader of the Phantom Guard, Huanfeng, emerged from the darkness like a phantom in the wind and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty!"

"Go and investigate! Find the person behind this and Ruhan's whereabouts as quickly as possible."

"Yes!" Huanfeng disappeared in the room like a shadow, without anyone noticing.

The Phantom Guards are the personal guards of the Emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty. They have always been hidden in the dark and are commanded solely by the Emperor. They were established by the first Emperor, the Human Emperor, and their first mission is to ensure the Emperor's safety.

The Emperor twirled his ring in a slightly irritated manner. He should have sent Ruo Ruo back to the palace first, and then informed Ruo Ruo after Ruo Han was rescued. But with Ruo Ruo's intelligence, what reason should he give? If something happened to Ruo Han, the Emperor didn't dare to imagine how Lan Qingwu would react.

The sky gradually darkened. Lan Qingwu sat quietly beside the bed. Ruping was looking at Lan Qingwu with a worried look on her face. She was even more worried about Ruhan. Even if Ruhan's life was not in danger this time, she would not survive if her chastity was damaged.

Not to mention Lan Hao, what about Lan Hao? The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, deeply in love. Lan Hao even followed Ru Han from the border to the imperial city, and then joined General Wei Yanting's army, just to marry Ru Han in glory one day. I'm afraid that by then Lan Hao will also...

Huanfeng was quicker to meet the Emperor Shenwu than Leng Qujing. After Huanfeng revealed the person behind the scenes, the Emperor Shenwu's face turned cold and frosty: "It's her again!"

Huanfeng reported back, "Your Majesty, the palace's White Feather Guard Lu Ping has been confirmed to be from the Qi Mansion. He has been in frequent contact with Concubine Qi and is also linked to the robbers in the suburbs. This has been confirmed. I have already sent someone to notify General Leng to rescue him at Gongling Mountain in the suburbs."

Emperor Shenwu's eyes were cold and fierce. The palace had been in turmoil. He had wanted to deal with Concubine Qi after some time, but this time he would never let her go.

A moment later, Qi Zhinan stumbled into the upper room and fell to the ground. Emperor Shenwu looked at him coldly.

Qi Zhinan's face turned pale. "Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding. Concubine Qi would never do this! I hope Your Majesty will investigate carefully again!"

Emperor Shenwu was even more disappointed. This minister and former close subordinate would become confused whenever he encountered his sister. "Do you think I wronged her?"
