Chapter 422 You’re Here_1
You hurriedly followed the sound and, after passing through a long corridor, you saw an extremely beautiful woman with luxurious attire, draped in black hair and adorned with various headpieces, slowly walking out of the main hall.
Wu Qiyi had always been a goddess beyond the mundane world in your eyes, standing alone and untainted by the dust of the world. But now, she exuded a domineering aura. Yes, that’s right, a domineering presence!
She was merely standing there, yet an invisible pressure emanated from her, enveloping the surroundings, commanding respect without anger!
"Wu Wuhao, you slut, you even dare show off in front of my father when you’re on the brink of death!"
Changsun Chong advanced angrily, only to be pulled back after two steps. Changsun Wuji’s ostensibly heroic face was still smiling; he watched Wu Qiyi intently and said with a smile, "A thousand years have passed, yet the Empress’s splendor remains unchanged."
Wu Qiyi looked at Changsun Wuji with an icy gaze and said coldly, "Changsun Wuji, you came all the way from the Palace of Yama, turning against the Chief Guardian Luo Cheng. Surely, this wasn’t just to exchange pleasantries with me?"
Changsun Wuji’s smile was as gentle as a spring breeze brushing across the face. At this moment, it was as if he was experiencing the brightest epoch of his life.
For Changsun Wuji, Wu Wuhao was the only blemish in his life. He had known Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin, from a young age, fostering a deep friendship akin to that of brothers. Together, they had fought for supremacy over the world, and he was even the mastermind behind the coup at the Black Tortoise Gate.
Originally, Li Shimin intended to pass on the throne to King Wu, Li Ke, but Changsun Wuji interfered, ultimately paving the way for Li Zhi to become the Crown Prince. To permanently eliminate any threats, Changsun Wuji even falsely accused Li Ke of rebellion and had him executed.
Afterward, Li Zhi ascended to the throne with ease, and Changsun Wuji naturally became a special being, second only to one but above ten thousand others. At that time, Li Zhi was young and his power was not yet consolidated, Changsun Wuji, even more so, held absolute authority.
