"Forget it, let's deal with the other three first!"

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng decided to put Bu Qian Gong and Senior Wuming last.

"Zhang Han, you have Yin Zhong lead people personally to capture Miss Feixue.

Since Canjian was captured by him, then one matter shouldn't bother two masters.

As for Ximen Changkong and Wang Xu, let the Imperial Father go out personally!

After Ximen Changkong and the seven masters of the Qin Palace fight, you will take action.

You should be able to take both of them down in one go."

"By your command!"

Zhang Han immediately bowed and accepted the order.

Great Tang, deep within the Great Ming Palace.

After reading this Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking, Wu Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty! With your beauty, you are naturally peerless in the world.

Isn't it just right that you didn't make it onto the ranking this time?"

Zhang Wuxia was dressed as a palace maid, attending behind Wu Zhao.

This area was quiet, and only Zhang Wuxia was here.

"Not making it onto the ranking has its benefits, and making it onto the ranking also has its benefits."

Wu Zhao pondered for a long time and said slowly:

"I went through all kinds of hardships to come from Wu Zhou to the Nine Provinces, and one of the important reasons was for this ranking.

If you make it onto the ranking later, the Heavenly Dao's gifts and rewards will naturally be more.

But I am afraid that time is running out."

"Your Majesty means that this Qinglong Society task is just to go to Wu Zhou to capture and kill the Monk King.

Are you worried that the Heavenly Demon Cang Qu and the Xuanxin Sect Master Jinguang will see through your true identity?"

As Wu Zhao's confidante, Zhang Wuxia naturally knows some of her thoughts.

If it were in Wu Zhou, Wu Zhao would naturally not be like this to Zhang Wuxia.

After all, she was the Empress of Wu Zhou, and the world respected her alone.

In the whole world, no one could talk to her like this.

But in the Nine Provinces, Wu Zhao only has Zhang Wuxia as a confidante.

She is impersonating Wu Zetian, and she is walking on thin ice and trembling with fear.

If her true identity were discovered by the Great Tang, I fear her plan this time would fall through.

"Indeed!"

Wu Zhao nodded gently.

"Before, when Sect Master Jinguang came back, didn't he say that the Monk King was missing and he could only come back for the time being?

According to him, he didn't even seem to have come into contact with the official people of Wu Zhou."

Zhang Wuxia is loyal to Wu Zhao and immediately brought up Jinguang to comfort Wu Zhao.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Wu Zhao also relaxed a little and said:

"Let's go see these Great Tang ministers now!

Isn't it said that every time the Heavenly Dao Combat Power Ranking and the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking are announced,

these ministers and masters will gather in the Bright Hall to discuss it?

Since I am now the Empress of the Great Tang, this surface work must naturally be done."

"Your Majesty thinking this way is best."

Zhang Wuxia smiled and immediately followed Wu Zhao, walking slowly towards the Bright Hall.

The Bright Hall is one of the most spacious halls in the Great Ming Palace and is used for grand court meetings.

As soon as Wu Zhao and Zhang Wuxia approached the Bright Hall, those eunuchs, palace maids, and Thousand-Cow Guards immediately crowded around.

The Empress suddenly disappeared, and they couldn't find her even after searching the entire Great Ming Palace.

It just so happened that the announcement of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking was the moment when civil and military officials and ministers entered the palace to discuss it.

After Di Di Renjie, the Chief Minister of the Luan Terrace, found out, he scolded the Thousand-Cow Guard Commander severely.

After all, the last time Wu Zetian went out of the palace in disguise, it had already caused a lot of trouble.

Now, this time, the living Empress had suddenly disappeared in the Great Ming Palace again.

Even though Di Di Renjie had a good temper, he was cursing loudly at this moment.

He stated that if the Empress could not be found within an hour,

the Thousand-Cow Guards, palace maids, and eunuchs on duty today would all be held accountable.

In the Great Tang, Di Di Renjie is almost a figure whose word is law.

Since he said so, these Thousand-Cow Guards, palace maids, and eunuchs were naturally terrified.

At this moment, the one-hour deadline was about to arrive.

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, the Empress appeared again with Zhang Wuxia.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have finally come."

Chi Xue Chi Xue Huaiyi, the eunuch most favored by Wu Zetian in the past, ran the fastest, arrived at the Empress's side, and was extremely happy.

"Hmm? Chi Xue Huaiyi, what do you mean by this?"

In fact, Wu Zhao naturally knew how much panic her disappearance this time would cause.

It's just that these palace maids, eunuchs, and Thousand-Cow Guards were not her subjects.

In her eyes, she didn't care much about their lives.

She pretended to be Wu Zetian and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty! You don't know, that Di..."

Another eunuch was preparing to report a small matter to Wu Zhao.

Chi Xue Chi Xue Huaiyi was still delicate and transparent; he blocked his words and said:

"It's nothing, nothing! Isn't it mainly because of the announcement of the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking this time?

Now, Minister Di, General Su, and others are all waiting in the Bright Hall for Your Majesty's inquiry."

"Oh! I came here for this matter too."

Wu Zhao said faintly, then brushed these people aside and walked towards the Bright Hall with Zhang Wuxia.

"Tell me, are you really stupid?"

After Wu Zhao walked away, Chi Xue Chi Xue Huaiyi whispered to the eunuch:

"You have a few heads, yet you dare to report Minister Di?

Could it be that you think you are more important to the Empress than Minister Di?"

These words made the eunuch understand immediately.

Di Di Renjie is the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, and the Empress relies on him for all military and state affairs.

His students and old acquaintances in the court are spread across all departments and divisions.

Even the local governors, county magistrates, and prefects have received Di Di Renjie's favor.

In addition, Di Di Renjie is upright and honest, serving the public and abiding by the law.

For a long time, he has had a very high reputation both in and out of the court.

This eunuch was actually preparing to put eye drops on such a capable official in front of the Empress; wasn't he looking for death?

"Ah! This, this, this..."

Just now, the eunuch was only forced by Di Di Renjie and was a bit arrogant because of favor, but he didn't think about the terrible consequences of speaking ill of Minister Di in front of the Empress.

Knowing the consequences now, he was immediately stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Alright, alright, don't think too much, follow the Empress in quickly!"

After Chi Xue Chi Xue Huaiyi finished reminding him, seeing that he had reacted, he said leisurely.

Afterwards, he took the lead and followed closely behind Zhang Wuxia.

Other palace maids and eunuchs naturally followed one after another.
