When Wan Shufang saw the thickness of the white smoke, she knew that the fire in the underground palace was particularly big, and her heart rose to her throat.

Ye Xuan and the couple are allies and know what is happening outside. If something happens to him in the underground palace, who can the couple learn about it from? Lin Jingke was not allowed to enter the palace by the emperor.

Wan Shufang's mind turned, and she couldn't help but feel worried. "We can't let Lord Ye be trapped in there. We must find a way to rescue him."

Chen Changli had the same idea and quickly said, "Let's go find someone now."

"Who are you looking for? Come and give me a hand." Just at this moment Ye Xuan climbed out along the rope.

Upon hearing his voice, the couple rushed forward to help him.

"How are you and your wife doing recently? Have you been wronged?" Ye Xuan came out of the dry well and did not even have the time to tidy up his clothes. His extremely sharp eyes impatiently fell on Chen Changli and his wife.

He looked the two men up and down, trying to see what their expressions were.

After a while, he saw that Chen Changli's face seemed to have lost all its color and was very pale. He was very nervous: "What's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"

Although Ye Xuan knew that Chen Changli had a hard time after being trapped, Wan Shufang, a master of medical skills, was by his side.

They are a smart couple and should have supported each other and dealt with the rebels no matter what. How come Chen Changli became like this?

The shock in Ye Xuan's eyes was very eye-catching. Chen Changli felt helpless. He told what happened to him in a low and hoarse voice, and then asked with concern: "What happened in the underground palace? Why is there such a pungent white smoke coming out?"

After hearing about what happened to Chen Changli, Ye Xuan felt that he just spoke lightly, but the heaviness and pain beneath his words were like shackles that could almost bend a person's spine.

He looked at Chen Changli with sympathy, and then slowly said, "I met some strange people in the underground palace. They were extremely strong and sharp-tongued. I was worried that they would cause us a lot of trouble if they escaped from the underground palace, so I deliberately set fire to them and burned them to death."

"I never thought that these people would run out through the exit of the second underground palace. I was really worried that they would turn Luoyang City into an endless purgatory, so I ran out on purpose, wanting to search the entire Luoyang City and then find them and kill them completely."

Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel angry when he said this. "The weirdos in the underground palace are like zombies. They are shocking and terrifying. If I hadn't been thinking about the people of Luoyang City, I would have run out of the underground palace long ago."

"Alas, I thought that if I told His Majesty about these weirdos, he would be more vigilant and send people to help me get rid of them. I never thought that His Majesty only cared about Phoenix Gu and didn't care about the consequences of these weirdos at all."

Speaking of the emperor's attitude, Ye Xuan's pent-up anger completely exploded at this moment.

Seeing that he was angry, Chen Changli said quickly, "Master Ye, don't be angry."

Wan Shufang quickly agreed: "Anger is harmful to your health. It's not worth getting angry about this."

The emperor's concern for the Phoenix Gu was indeed astonishing, and Wan Shufang became even more worried about Chen Changli.

She couldn't help but glance at Chen Changli, and seeing that all his attention was on Ye Xuan, she forced herself to suppress her worries and continued, "Is that weirdo really that scary? If so, we can find a way to capture someone and send him to His Majesty, so that he can see how scary that weirdo is."

"That weirdo is really scary." Ye Xuan still feels a lingering fear when he thinks of those people.

But he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly described the state of those people to Wan Shufang, and speculated: "I suspect that these weirdos were tortured by the traitors with various poisons. They have no humanity anymore."

When Wan Shufang heard Ye Xuan's description, she had an inexplicable strange feeling in her heart, as if something big was about to happen.

She was so panicked that she couldn't help but frown, and her breathing didn't slow down.

"Hearing what Lord Ye said, those weirdos really do look a bit like zombies, but what kind of poison can turn people into this?"

If it was an experiment using various poisons, it shouldn't have been so powerful and had such amazing teeth!

After all, such a weirdo can't even be called a human being. He is clearly a monster in human skin.

Wan Shufang's head was about to explode from thinking about it. She felt that the appearance of this weirdo would completely shatter her three views, so she had to be on high alert.

Chen Changli's heart was in turmoil after hearing this, and he quickly thought of himself, and said quickly: "Lord Ye, the existence of this weirdo is very unusual. We must let His Majesty realize how serious this weirdo is, otherwise the weirdo will wreak havoc and the people of Dajing will be in danger."

Ye Xuan nodded: "I was just thinking about this, do you want to go with me to see His Majesty?"

Chen Changli hurriedly said, "Our Majesty has arranged for us to stay here. We can't go anywhere for the time being."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's brows twisted into a knot, and his tone was unhappy: "What does your majesty mean? Now the rebels are ready to make a move, and the opium incident involves a lot of people. You have the ability, so why can't your majesty..."

Fearing that he might say something out of turn, Chen Changli immediately interrupted him: "Lord Ye, His Majesty has his own ideas. As subjects, we should obey His Majesty's orders."

Ye Xuan's face darkened: "I understand what you mean, but what Your Majesty is doing now is really worrying!"

Chen Changli smiled bitterly: "Even so, what can we do?"

They couldn't go against the emperor directly, otherwise the emperor would turn against them and be ruthless. Even if they had the ability to escape, they would probably be wanted nationwide. How would they cope then?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, so as not to hurt your heart and lungs."

Ye Xuan knew Chen Changli's dilemma and stopped worrying about it. He told him to go back and have a good rest, and then he went to see the emperor by himself.

He tried his best to persuade the emperor, hoping that he would pay attention to it, but the emperor just turned a deaf ear to his words and asked about Phoenix Gu.

"Didn't you catch the rebels? Where's the Phoenix Gu? Did those rebels eat it?"

The emperor ignored his words, and Ye Xuan couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Is he talking in a vague way? Why can't the emperor understand him? He must pay attention to Phoenix Gu.

Or in order to obtain the Phoenix Gu, the emperor no longer cared about the lives of everyone in Luoyang City.

Thinking that this possibility was very high, Ye Xuan couldn't help feeling disappointed.

If it weren't for the emperor's recent killing that has caused panic among the people, Ye Xuan would really want to resign.

But the emperor was murderous, and most of the civil and military officials in the court had left, and those who remained were all flatterers.

If he did not occupy a place in the emperor's heart, these people would find any excuse to slander him, and wouldn't that cause him and his family to die miserably.

Amidst the tangle of anger and the whole family, Ye Xuan adjusted his emotions and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I did not find the Phoenix Gu. I think the Phoenix Gu has been taken away by the rebels a long time ago."

"How could the rebels take away the Phoenix Gu in such a short time?" The emperor was furious. "Ye Xuan, what did you do in the underground palace?"
