C188

Yun Ruo Man didn't expect the gold medal to be so effective. Not only did the guards let them in without a word, they even sent people to protect them.

The guard that followed Yun Ruo Lu was not a guard, but a middle-aged man who looked to be around thirty years old.

The man had a long scar on his face, which looked very frightening.

According to the introduction given by the guard at the door, this man was one of the Vice Commanders of the imperial palace's imperial guards. His name was Yan Feng. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was sent here to guard the tower and take charge of the order of the tower.

After Yuchi Xuan ascended to the throne, he replaced the important positions with many of his own people. However, this was a normal thing to do, so Yun Ruo Lu did not mind.

Under Yan Feng's lead, Yun Ruo Lu visited the first three floors of the insane tower. She had learned from Yan Feng that the more serious the prisoner, the higher the level he would reach. Therefore, on the bottom three floors, it was still very safe and didn't need to encounter any crazy women who would come out and mess things up.

Yun Ruo Lu felt that Yan Feng was a very honest person, and his abilities were not weak either. It was a pity that he didn't receive much attention from Yuchi Xuan.

There were many rooms in the pagoda, and each room had three or four people living inside. However, what Yun Ruo Lu found strange was that the first three floors were very quiet, she didn't even see many people.

"Is it always like this here?"

Yun Ruo asked doubtfully. It was so quiet that it made her feel suspicious, but she felt more at ease seeing such a scene.

"To reply the Empress, this was not like this before. But not long ago, after a crazy woman was imprisoned in the seventh floor, it suddenly became quiet. " Yan Feng answered respectfully.

This person didn't say much, he only answered whatever Yun Ruo You asked. When Yun Ruo Lu did not speak, he did not make a sound either.

"Who's being held on the seventh floor?"

Yun Ruo's interest was piqued for a while, and she couldn't help but ask.

They were currently on the fourth floor, and could at most go up to the first floor. They said that from the sixth floor onwards, some delirious women had been imprisoned. As for the one on the seventh floor, he was probably even more serious.

"Your subordinate doesn't know, please forgive me!"

"It's nothing, let's go up and take a look!"

Yun Ruo Lu strode upstairs. When she reached the fifth floor, she was stopped by Yan Feng.

"Empress, you can't go up anymore!"

Yun Ruo Lu laughed disapprovingly and teased, "They're just some crazy women who have lost their minds. Don't tell me that with General Yan around, you're still afraid of hurting them?"

Once Yun Ruo's words came out, Yan Feng was instantly stunned. He said awkwardly: "If the Empress only wants to take a look at the sixth floor, this subordinate will do his best to protect the Empress's safety. However, if the Empress still wants to ascend to the top, I'm afraid that won't do. "

"Why?"

"Because this was the emperor's will. Apart from the emperor himself, no one is allowed to look at the lord of the seventh floor. "

Yan Feng reported the truth. Yun Ruo Lu thought for a while, she was just curious, so she came to take a look.

Now it would seem that the matter wasn't that simple. Since Yuchi Xuan was so concerned, it meant that there must be something wrong, so she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Yun Ruo Lu was prepared to say a few words to Yan Feng alone, so she let Jinye wait at the fifth floor. Afterwards, she asked while walking: "General Yan, how do you feel about being on duty at this Madman Tower?"

Yan Feng did not understand the meaning behind Yun Ruo's words, so he replied humbly: "It's the same everywhere, as long as you do your duty, you will be loyal to the emperor!"

Yun Ruo Man couldn't help but to laugh, "I feel that it's a bit of a waste of talent for General Yan to be sent to this tower."

"What does the Empress mean?"

After hearing Yun Ruo's words, Yan Feng's eyes immediately lit up because he knew that his chance had come.

He was once a vice commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, so how could he be willing to be a prison guard here?

He was helpless as he did not want to disobey the imperial edict. He could only be a small jailer here.

Seeing that Yan Feng's interest was piqued, Yun Ruo directly said, "I just happen to be short of people, would General Yan be willing to come to my palace and be on duty?"

"This …"

Yan Feng hesitated for a moment. Although he was not sure about Yun Ruo Lu's position in the palace, but the gold plate in her hands gave her more power than the empress.

If he followed Yun Ruo Lu, he would definitely have the chance to develop his grand ambitions, which was better than dying here.

Thus, Yan Feng did not hesitate and directly agreed: "I am indebted to the Empress for her kindness. This subordinate will definitely follow the Empress with my life!"

Seeing that she had settled Yan Feng, Yun Ruo Lu became even happier in her heart. Right now, she had no power in the Imperial Palace at all. Even if she were to leave in the future, her strength alone was far from enough.

Therefore, she wanted to start planning from now on and slowly expand her power.

"Good!" Since General Yan is willing, then I shall inform the Emperor later that General Yan will be transferred to the Cloud Locking Hall and be responsible for all the guards of the Western Palace. "

Although it was just a small post, it was better than staying here. Yan Feng would naturally accept it.

"Many thanks, Empress!"

"Since you are now my person, you should be clear about what I am thinking and what I want to do. You don't need me to teach you what to do next, right? "

Yun Ruo Lu hinted to Yan Feng to take her to the seventh floor.

Yan Feng naturally knew Yun Ruo Lu's thoughts. This was the first thing he wanted to do with Yun Ruo You, but it was difficult.

If the emperor knew, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to live.

Seeing Yan Feng's hesitation, Yun Ruo Lu dispelled his misgivings and said: "General Yan, please be at ease. Since you are my man, I will naturally protect you well. There are only the two of us here. As long as General Yan does not reveal it, no one else will know about what happened today. "

Yun Ruo Lu's words had already reached this point, if he was hesitating, it would indeed be unjustifiable.

Thus, Yan Feng secretly gritted his teeth and promised, "This subordinate will bring the Empress with me!"

Yan Feng brought Yun Ruo Lu to the seventh floor of the Madman Tower. The buildings here were different from the other floors, and it looked more tightly built.

Moreover, it was even the third door, so Yan Feng was responsible for the safety of the entire tower. Naturally, he would have the key.

When the metal doors opened again and again, Yun Ruo Lu became nervous.

"Empress, your subordinate is waiting for you outside. I hope you won't stay inside for too long!"

After Yan Feng opened all the doors, he stayed by the door, not even daring to look inside.

Yun Ruo nodded and walked in alone.

The interior of the house was very spacious and empty. The surroundings were all sealed off, without a single window. Only the roof had a transparent skylight through which the sun could shine.

Yun Ruo Lu slowly walked in and heard the rustling of iron chains.

When she reached the center, she saw a red-clothed, white-haired woman half sitting on the ground. Her hands and feet were chained, and the chain was very long. It extended to the surrounding walls, causing the woman to be unable to move.

Her long, white hair that was like a waterfall completely covered the woman's face, giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.

The girl didn't even raise her head. When she heard someone enter, she only gave a cold snort before asking in a very ethereal voice, "You're here?"

Yun Ruo and her companion knew that only Yuchi Xuan would be able to come here. Thus, the white-haired woman definitely mistook her for Yuchi Xuan.

Although the woman's voice was ethereal, it didn't seem old at all. It even gave Yun Ruo Lu a very familiar feeling.

However, she did not know why a young woman with a head full of white hair was imprisoned here.

"Who are you?" Yun Ruo Lu asked.

Hearing Yun Ruo's voice, the woman's body suddenly trembled, as if she was in a panic. She immediately lowered her head even more, and did not continue speaking.

Seeing her reaction, Yun Ruo vaguely guessed that perhaps they knew each other before. Otherwise, she wouldn't have avoided her like this.

"You know me?"

Yun Ruo Lu took a few steps forward. She could tell who it was just by the sound of her voice, so she should be familiar with this person.

"Don't come over here!"

Yun Ruo Lu immediately stopped, and looked at the girl in red, and also had such an ethereal voice, could it be …?

How is this possible!? Didn't she leave? How could he have been imprisoned here by Yuchi Xuan, and yet he was in such a sorry state?

"You are... "Red Calyx..."

Yun Ruo Lu asked with some self-confidence, she would rather the person in front of her not be Red Calyx.

Not only did she have a peerless complexion, she could also control the fate of others. She was always so high and mighty, so sacred that no one dared to violate her.

After Yun Ruo finished speaking, the woman in red suddenly became silent. The woman in red's silence further confirmed Yun Ruo's guess.

"Red Calyx, what happened? What had happened? How could you be locked up here! "How could that be!"

Yun Ruo Lu stepped forward with a bit of excitement and used both hands to hold Red Calyx's face, but immediately became paralyzed with fear and fell to the ground.

"Red Calyx... You... "Your eyes …"

Yun Ruo Lu stared at the face of the red calyx in shock. Surprisingly, there were two bloody holes on that exceptional face, but the red calyx's eyes were no longer there!

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Red Calyx's mouth, her voice was still as gentle and ethereal as before, "Did I scare you?"

Yun Ruo Lu only felt her heart aching, and she actually felt heartache for Red Calyx.

"How did you become like this? What had happened? How did the emperor die? "

Yun Ruo's heart was filled with doubt. Although more than a month had passed, the scene of the slaughter was still clearly etched in her mind.

"Since things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything. "If I do, the current me doesn't have any magic power, and won't be able to help you anymore from now on."

Yun Ruo Lu did not expect, already like this, but still want to for her, the heart is extremely uncomfortable, also very angry for her encounter.
