My female apprentices are all unpredictable

Swish!
The night was lingering, with layers of ripples. Everything was so peaceful, but at this time, the footsteps outside the Manna Hall seemed particularly harsh.

In the hall, the empress' face was rosy, she was biting her lips tightly, still suffering from the pain caused by the blending of skills and body healing.

By the way, the technique is used to let the two kinds of dragon energy merge with each other and become entangled with each other.

While he was in pain, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. His pupils shrank for a moment, and his face showed a rare look of panic, even panic and fear.

This emotion was unique to her and made her extremely ashamed and angry, but she quickly suppressed it.

He took a deep breath, returned to his usual indifferent appearance, and spoke directly in a cold voice.

"Who is outside the hall?"

"Reporting to the Empress, the Prime Minister wants to come to see you and says he has important matters to discuss."

The guard spoke cautiously, his voice trembling slightly, for fear of the Empress' wrath. After all, the Empress' wrath was not so easy to bear.

"Prime Minister?"

The empress narrowed her eyes, and Danfeng's eyes showed some doubts, and she actually became a little curious.

The Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty was a very resourceful and skillful person, with the ability to follow the dragon. When she successfully ascended the throne, the Prime Minister also contributed a lot. Therefore, she gave the other party a token so that he could come to see her at any time.

But the prime minister also knows etiquette very well, and rarely comes at this time, and will wait outside the palace every time he has an audience.

It was so sudden and hurried as tonight, and it was unique.

Could it be that……

What rare turmoil has occurred in the country? It is extremely serious. Otherwise, how could such a thing happen?

Thinking of this, the empress's phoenix eyes showed a bit of solemnity. She was not the kind of foolish emperor who didn't understand the difficulties of people's livelihood.

In fact, she loves the people very much, but is very cruel to the officials.

We quite understand the principle that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and all kinds of turmoil can occur anytime and anywhere. There is no room for her not to be cautious or worried.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but restrain herself, and her eyes became extremely solemn.

Just now, she had already made the decision that no matter who came, she would let them leave first.

After all, her current situation is too shameful. If word spreads, I am afraid she will become the laughing stock of the whole world, and the dignity of the empress will be destroyed.

But now it seems that this can no longer be the case.

No matter how high the risk, she still has to deal with state affairs, otherwise, the catastrophe is likely to come early, and by then, she alone will not be able to control it.

"It's not convenient for me to have the Prime Minister stand outside the palace and report."

She bit her lips tightly and spoke with an almost trembling voice. At this time, she had already changed into another posture according to the practice album.

With an expressionless face, he sat cross-legged in Fang Yang's arms.

Their skin was so close to each other that they could almost hear each other's heavy breathing.

For a moment, he was dazzled.

Constantly struggling with the Taoist heart.

After all, such a situation is too dangerous. The Taoist heart will fall anytime and anywhere, and you will fall into complete confusion, and you will never be able to break out.

But even so, she still maintained absolute calm and tried not to let her rationality slip away.

As the skills were flowing rapidly, layers of sweat oozed out from her forehead. She was extremely tired, dripping with fragrant sweat, and stained the black hair on her temples.

It also made her face stained with layers of clouds, and she almost collapsed.

rustling...

Then, there was a sound of footsteps, which seemed to be walking towards the palace from a distance. He slowly walked to the entrance of the palace, paused, and shook his clothes. It was obviously the style of the prime minister at the scene.

Always so serious.

Always abiding by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for her son being too incompetent and spending all his time in Kyoto, otherwise, the reputation of this prime minister would be better.

"My lord, Zhang Zhishan, pay your respects to the empress!"

A steady voice sounded from outside the palace and soon entered the palace. It was the voice of the prime minister. The empress bit her lip and tried to keep herself calm.

Then, he slowly spoke.

"The Prime Minister has always been a calm person. Now that he comes here late at night, something big has happened... um..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt that the fire in her body seemed to have reached its peak, like a volcano erupting, rolling in.

Under the fierce fire caused by this technique, she looked painful and her eyes were complicated, and she couldn't help but groan.

The night was so quiet, and in this solemn atmosphere, the empress's voice seemed so harsh.

This made her stunned for a moment, even a little dazed, but she quickly reacted and clenched her fists fiercely.
I wish I could turn into an ostrich and never show my head again.She is the empress of the Tang Dynasty, and she is powerful in all directions.

Even in front of the prime minister, he is still quite indifferent.

Now, something so ridiculous has happened.

You know, the prime minister is a very smart person. He can know the subtleties and the autumn leaves, and can often find the truth among the complicated clues.

And the muffled groan he made just now was so obvious, how could the prime minister not know?How could he not have random thoughts?
"..."

Quiet, dead silent, there was silence outside the Manna Hall, and there was no sound.

Zhang Jushan was dressed in a purple robe, with frost-white temples, and his face was always as plain as a piece of cold iron.

Therefore, people all over the world often call him the Iron Prime Minister.
The acting style is quite cool.

Even close to being a lonely minister, but even so, he did not waver at all and governed the country non-stop.

Before that, he had always lowered his head, but when he heard the empress' cry, he suddenly raised his head, and a cold light flashed across his determined eyes.

The purple robe was billowing, and a pressure seemed to have begun to form.

"Is the Empress feeling uncomfortable?"

He asked with squinted eyes, expressionless, and the empress bit her lips tightly, her skin trembling slightly.

Sitting opposite Fang Yang, I happened to see Fang Yang's expression that was half-smile but not a smile, and his cold and deep eyes.

He looked at her with eyes full of amusement, almost amusement.As if watching a good show.

For a moment, she was filled with shame and anger, wishing to fight this devil to the death, but in the end she forced herself to endure it and spoke slowly.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. I am just suffering from an old illness and have not recovered yet. Without delaying state affairs, the Prime Minister will tell me what happened first."

"I understand."

Zhang Jushan nodded, his not tall body looked so cold in the night.

The guards responsible for guarding were trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, and did not even dare to look at the slightly crippled prime minister.

After all, looking at the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know what a ruthless character the prime minister is, and he kills people when he says he will, and shows no mercy to those second-rank ministers who have been killed by the prime minister, let alone their so-called guards.

"Your Majesty, I have collected information from various places these days. The forbidden areas have become more and more numerous and larger. The people have suffered heavy casualties, and even many practitioners have died. I know a little about the stars, and I have discovered astronomical observations at night. , the situation in the Tang Kingdom has become precarious, a catastrophe is about to happen, and it seems that even Kyoto has signs of the emergence of forbidden areas."

"what?!"

The moment she heard these words, the empress suddenly wanted to stand up, but accidentally fell onto Fang Yang.

It made Fang Yang's pupils shrink, and his face clearly showed some pain, but in the end, Fang Yang still forced himself to endure it, his face was expressionless, and he always had that indifferent look.

The empress instantly realized what had happened just now, and glared at Fang Yang with shame and anger, wishing to skin and cramp the devil, and ravage him severely.

However, national affairs are more important.

And if what the prime minister said just now is true, it is really too serious.

Let her ignore these messy things and speak directly.

"Is what the prime minister just said true? Is there really a sign in Kyoto?"

"Of course I am a true minister. I will never hide anything from His Majesty, let alone scaremongering."

Zhang Jushan had a straight face, and the night was solemn, covering his face like mist, making his expression so determined and indifferent. He flicked his sleeves, took out a memorial from the sleeves, and spoke carefully.

"Your Majesty, you may not know it, but I have already studied various abnormalities when the forbidden area appears."

"The Forbidden Land is composed of countless ghosts and ghosts. If the ghosts are not full of resentment, the Forbidden Land will never be formed. Therefore, when the Forbidden Land appears, there will be all kinds of strange things, and many people will die mysteriously."

"The more people die, and the more tragic and weird the deaths, the scarier the forbidden area becomes and the higher the level."

"When countless strange things are superimposed together, the River Styx may even appear. By then, it will be an ancient forbidden land."

"I see, the prime minister's analysis makes sense."

The empress nodded and agreed with Zhang Jushan's words. She was not an idiot. In the past year, she had been studying the situation and thinking about ways to fight against the catastrophe.

Of course, it was very clear that the signs Zhang Jushan mentioned existed, but he didn't sum them up like the other party did.

"Since the Prime Minister has said so, what does the Prime Minister mean, that many strange things have happened in Kyoto recently, and many strange people have died?"

The empress asked in a heavy voice, obviously knowing the seriousness of the matter.

Zhang Jushan took a deep breath, his eyes seemed to be rippling, and he became extremely struggling, but in the end, he calmed down and became the iron-blooded prime minister again.

"Reporting to your Majesty, many people have indeed died mysteriously in Kyoto recently. Although it was only in twos and threes at first, I have already asked Dali Temple to pay attention to these corresponding cases."

"So a lot of information was gathered."

"On March [-], a family of five drowned inexplicably in their own courtyard. Their bodies were covered with water plants, their faces were ashen, and they were smiling. Before they died, they seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. Some people called it water. Revenge."

"On April [-], in Lixingfang, Kyoto, Zhang Yuanwai's son came back from the fence. Someone patted his back. He suddenly turned around and his head rolled to the ground inexplicably, like a Cuju ball. According to the reports of people around him, this man The head of Zhang Yuanwai's son also has a weird smile on his face, which makes people's hair stand on end and sends chills down their spines."

"On May [-]th, the Kyoto magistrate's family heard people crying from time to time and singing opera at night. The magistrate was also an alert person and knew that something was wrong. He immediately invited a master to do something. The crying disappeared, but seven days later , the county magistrate’s family all died tragically. Before they died, they all wore costumes and set up a stage, as if they were singing in an opera. The master also died, and his death was particularly cruel."

"June [-]th..."

"June [-]th..."

"August [-]th..."

One by one, each case was recorded very clearly and was explained by the prime minister.

The empress's face became more and more solemn, and her eyes became more and more uneasy. Her beautiful face seemed to be dyed with clouds, almost dripping with water, and she became more and more aware that something was wrong.

More and more people are dying mysteriously in the capital.

Moreover, the frequency of cases is also increasing like crazy.

This proves that there is a strange existence hiding in the thick fog, spying on the capital city through the darkness of night.

She had always thought that the capital of the Tang Dynasty might be the last to be targeted.

But now it seems that she was wrong, very wrong.

Those beings hiding in the darkness are already impatient.

They even ignored Kyoto's tight defense and ignored the Kyoto formation.

She even ignored the devastating and thunderous strength of the empress of the Tang Dynasty.

Before that, she had been suppressing the city.

No matter how powerful the practitioner is, he would not dare to step into this place.

But now, as the number of cases becomes more and more, the resentment in Kyoto will definitely increase. In the meantime, will those strange beings be unable to help themselves, and will there really be forbidden places?

She didn't dare to think about this, her eyes became more and more sharp and murderous.

At this time, outside the Manlu Palace, Zhang Jushan, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was still talking.

"On November 120rd, when the autumn frost started, the sound of killing on the battlefield could be heard inexplicably from General Chen's residence in Zhengyifang. It was quite thick and loud, and the people around him heard it, but they did not dare to approach it. Days later, the blood in General Chen's residence was soaring. Blood flowed along the cracks in the door and bricks into the street. When the officers and soldiers arrived, a total of [-] people in General Chen's residence died tragically on the spot. Everyone was shot by a spear. Killing, as if experiencing a fight. But... after investigation, there were no weapons in General Chen's residence at that time."

"..."

As soon as the heavy words were spoken, the empress clenched her fists and clenched her fists.

The grief and anger in my heart reached the extreme. General Chen was a general of the Tang Dynasty. He was brave and good at fighting and destroyed many countries. He had just returned to Kyoto when he did not expect such a thing to happen.

And she still didn't know anything.

It was really inappropriate. Just when she took a deep breath and was about to interrupt the Prime Minister's words, the Prime Minister's voice came again.

"The same night, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion died tragically under the rockery..."

Swish!
The empress suddenly raised her head. (End of chapter)
