Upon hearing news of Teng Zijing, Fan Xian immediately became interested and straightened up.
"Is that the Empress who's been the subject of all these rumors lately, the one having an affair with a eunuch?"
Upon hearing this, Teng Zijing's expression became somewhat strange, and she said with slight doubt:
"In Nanqing, isn't there just one empress?"
Fan Xian smiled awkwardly and said:
"You're a really good person, just a little dull sometimes!"
"I heard you say before that the Empress hasn't left the palace for many years, right?"
"She is currently embroiled in scandals, yet His Majesty has sent her to Cangshan to pray for blessings at this time. There must be something fishy about this."
...........
Teng Zijing nodded and asked curiously:
"What? Is Young Master Fan interested in this?"
"How about I go with you to take a look?"
Fan Xian pursed his lips helplessly and said, "We'll see when the time comes!"
……
The Censorate.
Chen Qingfeng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table as he listened to Sang Wen's report.
"Son."
"Everything has been arranged."
"This time, we will intercept the Empress at Luofeng Slope on the way to Cangshan Mountain, which is a necessary route."
"In addition, manpower has been arranged."
"Led by Grandmaster Gui Sheng of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, along with three ninth-rank experts."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng was slightly surprised:
"Gui Sheng and the three ninth-rank officials have all made a move?"
Sang Wen nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"I forgot to tell you, young master, that Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, the Master of the Flowing Clouds Technique, returned to the capital a few days ago."
"He also secretly met with Emperor Qing."
"I was worried that Ye Liuyun might make a move, so I arranged for Gui Sheng to lead the team."
After Sang Wen explained it this way, Chen Qingfeng understood and nodded:
"I knew it! Why would Emperor Qing set such an obvious trap?"
"Isn't he afraid that the Empress might actually be kidnapped or killed?"
"So you were just being reckless!"
At this point, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly, appearing unmoved.
Even if Ye Liuyun helps Emperor Qing, we have nothing to fear.
After all, Ye Liuyun is a Grandmaster, and Gui Sheng is also a Grandmaster!
……
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
The Empress's carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate.
Eight pure white horses pulled a gilded carriage, flanked by heavily armored imperial guards.
Inside the carriage, the empress twirled prayer beads between her fingers, and a dot of vermilion between her brows made her appear exceptionally alluring.
She knew very well that trouble was bound to arise on her journey to Cangshan.
When that time comes, someone will definitely try to harm me.
"Chen Pingping!"
"You're so smart, you couldn't possibly not see that this was a scheme set up by His Majesty, could you?"
The Empress muttered to herself, still firmly believing that the person who was going to attack her was Chen Pingping.
The Censorate.
Chen Pingping was watering the flowers and plants in the yard.
At that moment, a shadow shrouded in black appeared.
"Dean, the Empress's carriage has already left the East Gate."
"The shadow reported."
Chen Pingping nodded and asked:
"Where's Feng'er? Is he in the courtyard?"
"exist."
Chen Pingping smiled and then said:
"Shadow, do you think the Empress might encounter an accident on her way to Cangshan?"
The shadow didn't answer immediately, but instead appeared thoughtful. After a moment's thought, it finally spoke:
"I heard that His Majesty summoned Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, who had just returned to the capital."
"If anyone dares to abduct the Empress on the way, I'm afraid..."
At this point, the shadow abruptly stopped, fully aware of the terror of a Grandmaster.
Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping's expression remained largely unchanged.
He was also very puzzled. Who was trying to harm the Empress?
After all, he had only used some methods on the Crown Prince before, but hadn't touched the Empress yet!
Besides, now that the Empress has gone to Cangshan, if he doesn't send people to intercept and kill her, who else would dare to lay a hand on her? IV.

at the same time.
The imperial convoy was en route to Cangshan Mountain.
This trip was escorted by the Imperial Guards; not even the Censorate was used.
Inside the carriage, the Empress appeared calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
"Chen Pingping, do you dare to lay a hand on me?"
The Empress muttered to herself.
She still believes that the person behind the scenes who wants to harm her is Chen Pingping, the director of the Surveillance Bureau.
As she pondered this, the Empress took a deep breath.
Thinking that since Emperor Qing had chosen her to be the bait, the fishing line must be very thick.
Otherwise, even if you catch a big fish, it won't help.
She knows Emperor Qing too well.
Since they dared to use such bait, it means they must have a backup plan.
And so the convoy continued on its way.
Unbeknownst to them, the Empress and her entourage had already arrived at Luofeng Slope.
What lies ahead?
The empress asked the palace maid who was attending her.
"Your Majesty, we are about to reach Luofeng Slope. After passing Luofeng Slope, we will arrive at Cangshan Mountain in about half a day."
Upon hearing the palace maid's reply, the Empress frowned slightly and murmured:
"Fallen Phoenix Slope? That's the name..."
As she thought about it, a sense of unease inexplicably arose in the Empress's heart.
Soon, the phoenix carriage arrived at Luofeng Slope.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Several whooshing sounds were heard.
Looking closer, I saw three figures blocking the way ahead.
All three were dressed in black and their faces were covered, so their features were not visible.
They were three ninth-rank martial artists from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Upon seeing someone obstructing the imperial procession, the imperial guards immediately sprang into action. One group protected the empress's carriage, while the other group stood in front of it.
"Who is this old man, daring to obstruct the imperial carriage? Are you tired of living?"
The leader of the Imperial Guard drew his long sword and shouted sharply.
However, the killing of the soul, the destruction of the "227" spirit, and the severing of the water supply remained completely unmoved.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The next moment, the three of them moved out together, their figures rushing out like ghosts, heading straight for the carriage where the Empress was.
"Get it for me!"
The guards saw this and charged straight at them.
The backup group for the major battle is about to erupt!
However, the three members of the Killing Soul Sect were incredibly fast, their movements were subtle, and their attacks were ruthless.
