At midnight, the key to the palace has been issued. Anyone who wants to enter the palace at this time must have a golden waist badge to enter the palace. Not everyone can have this golden waist badge. It can only be gifted by the emperor.

Only people can enjoy this honor.

A plainly decorated carriage showed its gold medal in front of the guard guarding the palace gate. The guard then let the carriage enter the corridor of the palace. The carriage ran all the way until it stopped in front of the gate of Fengfang Palace.

The woman in white showed her golden waist card, and then the guard guarding the door allowed the woman in white to enter the Fengfang Palace.

It was getting late, but Empress Wu had insomnia tonight. She tossed and turned on the soft couch but couldn't fall asleep until a palace maid came to report: "Empress, Qing'er has something important to report to you!"

Empress Wu sat up from the bed, waved her hand and said: "Let her come in!" But her heart was always uneasy. After getting up, a palace maid in pink clothes with a veil served her and draped a skirt with gold thread.

The embroidered phoenix tail cloak walked out of the palace and came to the main hall, where he saw a woman in white kneeling on the ground.[

"Qing'er meets the Queen!"

Empress Wu frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter? You want to break into the palace to see me at such a late hour?"

Ye Gong is a servant. Queen Wu did not let Qing'er get up, Qing'er kept kneeling on the ground and said: "Empress, I see that you have something important to report to you. That Situ Ruoxi is too vicious, okay?

The slave girl was smart enough that she did not see the slave girl's identity. However, the slave girl was good at alienating people and sow disharmony among the people in Pingyang Hou's mansion. Situ Ruoxi lost the favor of Situ's family again, so she found the slave girl and loved her.

I will severely injure this slave..." Having said this, Qing'er took off the white gauze on her face. Her cheeks, which were once as smooth as grease, now became red, swollen and cracked, making people feel very miserable and miserable at first sight.

Feeling distressed.

Empress Wu just raised her eyebrows slightly and said lukewarmly: "This Situ Ruoxi is selfish, cunning and vicious. It's not strange that you were beaten by her. Why don't you come to me at this late hour?"

What do you want to say?"

Qing'er glanced at the pink-clad palace maid next to Empress Wu, and said thoughtfully: "According to the Queen's words, this slave used a sorcery on Situ Han, the second son of the Situ family, but Situ Han was not affected by this sorcery.

Until now, he is just like a normal person, there is nothing abnormal, and he cannot obey the orders of his slave." 13v.

Empress Wu's beautiful eyes turned and looked at the pink-clad palace maid. The pink-robed palace maid was not in a hurry, just brushed her body slightly and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that once this lotus spell is cast on that person, it will take effect immediately.

, there is no way it will be safe..." He looked at Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground suspiciously, and his words were cold: "Qing'er, were you ordered by someone to come here to deceive the Queen?"

Qing'er gritted her teeth and said with determination: "I have been the Queen's personal maid for many years. How could I betray the Queen?"

Empress Wu looked at Qing'er thoughtfully, lowered her beautiful eyes, and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Qing'er, you'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I will never

I will spare you lightly."

"Qing'er dare not betray you, the Queen, please believe me!"

Empress Wu raised her eyes and looked at the pink-clad palace maid, and ordered: "Acai, you must cast the lotus curse on Situ Han again, and give the charm to Qing'er, and ask her to cast the spell on Situ Han again. If this time

If it doesn't work..." Her eyes were like ice knives as she looked at Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground: "Qing'er, don't live to see me. You'd better think of a beautiful way to die so as not to disturb me.

eyes!"

Qing'er kowtowed and her body began to tremble: "I don't dare, I will definitely do it this time just in case of failure."

Acai, the palace maid in pink clothes, arrived at the side hall and prepared some things needed for the lotus spell. After a while, she wrote the spell, brought the talisman water, put it in a small white silver pot and gave it to Qing'er, and said:

"This time, you have to be sure not to miss anything!"

Qing'er nodded, and Empress Wu allowed her to stand up. As soon as she stood up, her legs were numb because she had been kneeling on the ground for too long. She almost dropped the silver pot she was holding when she lost her balance.

On the ground, if A Cai hadn't helped her in time, Qing'er might have knocked the lotus talisman water she had worked so hard to pour onto the ground.

But A Cai accidentally cut her wrist on the spout of the silver pot. Qing'er fearfully took out a handkerchief and wiped the bloody cut on A Cai's wrist, but A Cai frowned slightly.

He raised his eyebrows, waved his hands and said: "Qing'er, you don't have to reach out, I can do it myself!"

A Cai took out a small white medicine bottle from her body, poured the powder out of it, and applied it to the wound. The bleeding soon stopped.

Ah Cai shook her fingers at the wound a few times, and soon the wound on her wrist disappeared. Her wrist was as smooth as the moon, as if she had not been injured just now.

Seeing this, Qing'er couldn't help but feel excited. It seemed that A Cai was indeed a powerful figure next to Empress Wu.

Empress Wu stopped her hand and said: "Qing'er, if nothing happens, please leave as soon as possible!"

Qing'er put away the handkerchief she had just used to wipe A Cai's wounds, stood up and excused herself to Queen Wu.[

After Qing'er left, Empress Wu narrowed her eyes and said to A Cai in pink: "You saw it just now. She obviously pretended to fall on purpose and wanted you to help her up. She was hurting you.

Hurt, what’s your intention?”

Ah Cai's eyes were as dazzling as rubies, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "I'm afraid she listened to someone's threat, so she wants to take something from this slave!"

Empress Wu asked: "Do you know what it is?"

A Cai nodded and answered confidently: "It's the slave's blood. The slave has never been married, and the blood on her body is the blood of a virgin. So she wants to take these things from the slave in order to give them to the Marquis of Pingyang."

Situ Han, who had been hit by the lotus curse, untied the spell. What a pity, the slave used a blind trick just now, Qing'er didn't get a drop of blood from the slave at all!"

"So, Situ Han has fallen under your lotus curse? Isn't it true that if you don't get the antidote for this poisonous curse, you will bleed to death the next day? It seems that the Situ family really wants to give away the white-haired person to the black-haired person.

!”

"Yes, Madam, and the people of the Situ family are not stupid. After thinking about it, it's all because of Situ Ruoxi. She shouldn't be called Lin Ruoxi. When the white-haired person of the Situ family sends the black-haired person away, we will be full of sorrow.

Can Lin Ruoxi's identity be revealed and the captured person be used as a witness to see if she still wants to deny it? But Queen Mother, Qing'er has betrayed you, what do you want to do with her now?"

When Empress Wu thought that this perfect plan was about to come true, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, as beautiful as the lotus on the lake: "Forget it, let her live first, because she still has value! Okay, tonight

It seems that I will have a good dream..." After that, she got up from the phoenix chair, returned to the palace, lay down on the soft couch with gold silk mattress, and fell asleep sweetly.

Qing'er got on the carriage and quickly took out the cotton handkerchief she used to wipe the wound on A Cai's wrist: "I've got it!" But when she took out the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, she was stunned.

, said: "This... how is this possible?" She hurriedly took out the silver pot, thinking that the spout of the silver pot had scratched A Cai's wrist and would have stained some blood, but there was no trace at all.

"There is no blood from her in these. I clearly saw that her wrist was cut by the spout of the silver pot, and it was bleeding all the time. How could it not be there?"

Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but smile: "Actually, there is nothing strange about this. Since she can come up with such evil tricks as the Lotus Curse, of course she can also use the deception methods used by some charlatans... However, there is another thing I will tell you.

Have you finished the matter?"

Qing'er nodded and took out a silver needle from the middle of her hand. This silver needle is longer and thicker than the ordinary silver needle. That's because the needle body of the silver needle has moved its hands and feet. In the middle of the silver needle is

It is hollow and thick on the inside and thin on the inside. Once it is pierced into the human body, the blood will be squeezed into the silver needle. At the same time, the very sharp tip of the silver needle will solidify the blood, isolating the blood in the needle like air, and can

Save it in it.

Lin Ruoxi took the silver needle and put it away in a brocade box made of white porcelain. Then she asked Qing'er to use the golden waist badge on her body and quickly left the palace. Outside the palace, they found the Qianli horse they had previously ridden.

, turned over and hurried towards Pingyang Hou Mansion.

When they arrived at Pingyang Hou's Mansion, the sky was slightly pale. Lin Ruoxi entered Pingyang Hou's Mansion with Situ Zhan's support, returned to the house, took out the silver needle that had just been put in the porcelain white brocade box, and gently used candlelight to

He burned the tip of the needle and quickly put the blood in the silver needle into the teacup. The teacup contained the curse-resolving soup prepared by Situ Zhan.

This time, Situ Zhan forced the curse-breaking soup into Situ Han's mouth and asked him to drink it. A strange thing happened. Situ Han's eyes were red and he was crazy before, but at this moment he slowly returned to normal.

After he calmed down and saw that he was tied up and still on Lin Ruoxi's bed, he began to have a unclear mind and didn't know what happened to him.

Lin Ruoxi saw that Situ Han had returned to normal, and then brought Qing'er into the house. Situ Han saw that Qing'er's cheek was cracked with blood and flesh, and was swollen. He called her over distressedly: "Qing'er, yes

Who beat you like this? Little sister..." He glared at Lin Ruoxi angrily and said, "It's you, right? Little sister, why can't you tolerate Qing'er in your eyes?"

When Qing'er heard this, she realized that Situ Han was facing her in his heart. His face was full of tears and he came to Situ Han with a wronged look. He lowered his beautiful eyes and showed that he was afraid of Lin Ruoxi.

But at this moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed her collar, slapped her face with cracked flesh, gritted his teeth and said: "Qing'er, you took advantage of me, you are actually the one beside Empress Wu
