There is only one hundred-year-old locust tree in the palace, that is, in the garden of Fengluan Palace, the words said by Taoist Liu Zhang clearly point to Xu Muqing.

Xiao Linye's premonition of bad feelings became even stronger. He immediately said coldly, "No need to go, there can be no monsters under the big locust tree. The entire Fengluan Palace is the cleanest place in the harem. There can be no monsters. Don't exaggerate anymore. I don't believe what you said at all."

How could the old lady of Anguo make things fail? Her sharp and clear eyes looked at Xiao Linye, and her voice was full of doubts, "Is the emperor guilty? Or do you want to protect someone? Are you afraid that the consequences can't bear it?"

Xiao Lie's face suddenly became ugly, and he shouted sternly, "Random, what are you questioning me? This is the palace, and I will be the one who decides anything. Can't I still listen to you? I said there are no monsters and ghosts under the big locust tree, that is, there are no one."

"Old lady, please don't go too far. I don't want to let you mess around anymore."

"Do you want to watch the Empress Dowager die? If you delay any further, the Empress Dowager will be scattered. Emperor, that is your mother, who gave you life and protected your mother who grew up all the way. Is it worth it for a woman?" The old lady of Duke An Guo was crying and her heart was so painful that she was about to suffocate.

Taoist Master Liu Zhang looked anxious, and the peach wood sword in his hand couldn't help but tremble, "Master, it's too late, please make a decision quickly. The Empress Dowager's current situation is really dangerous."

The old lady of Duke An Guo knelt down directly for Xiao Linye while leaning on a crutch, and begged in tears, "Prince, please, the Empress Dowager is the daughter of the old woman. I can't watch something happen to the Empress Dowager. Please feel sorry for your mother."

Xiao Linye stood straight, with a dark and uncertain light in his deep eyes. As long as he gave in a little, what was waiting for Mu Qing would be a catastrophe, which was something he absolutely did not want to see.

"Is Taoist Priest Liu Zhang really sure there are monsters under the century-old locust tree? As long as the monsters under the big locust tree are removed, the empress dowager will wake up and turn the danger into safety?" Xu Muqing saw that their acting was very realistic, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, but she didn't show any sign of her face.

The Taoist priest who looked fairy-like and Taoist priest had bright eyes and a flat expression. He said firmly, "That's right, if you get rid of the monsters, the Queen Mother will be able to wake up."

"It's not too late. Go to the big locust tree to take a look. The most important thing for the Queen Mother to wake up."

Xu Muqing was more concerned than anyone else and led everyone to walk towards the big locust tree in Fengluan Palace as fast as possible. Her eyes were covered with a layer of cold frost. She temporarily endured this tone. These bastards who were acting terrified should understand what it would feel like to be slapped in the face and hurt.

"Emperor, since the Empress has a clear conscience, let's go and have a look. No matter how unhappy we have had, I want the Empress Dowager to recover and wake up quickly."

The old lady showed her filial piety and pressed her on Xiao Linye's head. So many people looked at her. If Xiao Linye did not care about the safety of the empress dowager at all, then he would not even think about sitting firm in the throne.

Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing walked shoulder to shoulder. Seeing his wife's face full of openness and no fear, he couldn't help frowning, "They were clearly coming for you. If the Taoist priest really caused a big storm in Fengluan Palace, a large number of ministers will commit memorials to depose you. I'm not afraid that trouble will not be able to save you, I'm not worried that those rumors will hurt you."

Rumors are more powerful than tigers. His grandmother and uncle, and aunt clearly want to ride on Mu Qing's head and go wild. How could he swallow this?

She patted Xiao Linye's back of his hand and said in an indifferent tone, "I have never harmed the Queen Mother. Although my fate is special, I will never attract evil ghosts. I am sure of this. Since that's the case, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Emperor, even if they avoid this, if they still want to frame me and force me to submit, they will have a second and third plan. Since this is the case, I will use this time to cure them from the root."

There was a calculating light in her eyes. Xiao Linye saw that there was a faint murderous aura on her body, and the little worry in her heart immediately disappeared.

He leaned against her ear and said in a low voice that only two people could hear, "If you can teach the people of Anguo Duke's Mansion a lesson, just let go and knock them down directly, don't let them always worry about things that do not belong to them. They will not dare to enter the palace in the future."

Xu Muqing couldn't help laughing, "That's your grandmother's house. Is this really good?"

Xiao Linye had no feelings for the people in his grandmother's family. He had a strong disgust at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "If it weren't for the vascular relationship that would have been cut off, I wouldn't even bother to look at them. I wasn't afraid that my mother would be sad, even if she felt like something, she would have to deal with it."

She said softly, "Husband, don't worry, they can't do anything to me."

It’s not certain who cheats anyone, and it’s not certain who has a slap in the face.

When the old lady and Duke An Guogong's wife Shaw saw the emperor and empress gathering together intimately and biting their ears, a strong hatred surged in their hearts. They clenched their fists and pinched their sharp nails to their palms.

So what if the relationship is good? Since the blood of their Duke Anguo Mansion is shed on them, when you are in power, you must think about them. If you don’t give them benefits or noble status, don’t think about living a peaceful life.

Without them, Duke Anguo Mansion, Xiao Linye would have been dead yet. Why didn’t the Empress Dowager and Xiao Linye thank them? Why did he give up the position of queen to an outsider?

The Huang family is not without a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If not, then it would be fine.

Xu Muqing felt the resentment and burning eyes on her. She suddenly turned around and showed an angry smile at the old lady and Shaw Brothers. She hated the two women in Duke An's mansion so angry that they vomited blood.

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the garden of Fengluan Palace. The big locust tree with lush branches and leaves was very thick, and there were only two people who could carry it over.

Taoist Master Liu Zhang stopped in front of the big locust tree, with a solemn expression, but there was an excited and strange light in his eyes, "The monster is under this tree."

The old lady said excitedly and anxiously, "Master, then you can do it quickly, quickly pull out the monster and release the queen."

Xu Muqing had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and she suddenly said coldly, "Wait, I have something to ask Master Liu Zhang. It's not too late to find out the monster after I finish asking. It won't take up too much time for you, it will only take a while."

Huang Qinwei, who was standing behind the old lady, suddenly spoke out, "Empress, what do you want to do, shouldn't you be afraid? The reason why the Empress Dowager's aunt was unconscious was because she was implicated by you. Do you also feel this strong feeling in your heart, right?"

Xu Muqing didn't take Huang Qinwei's provocation seriously at all. She glared at the woman who wanted to replace her, and blamed her without any face.

"Did I talk to you? Is this how the Duke Anguo Mansion teaches you the rules? Master Liuzhang, Master Qing'an and the monks from Huguo Temple have not said anything yet. Why should you convict me?"

Xiao Linye was in a bad mood and looked at Huang Qinwei with threat, "It seems that you haven't learned a lesson for so long. Come on, slap your mouth ten times!"

Huang Qinwei's face turned pale and her body trembled violently. She looked at Xiao Linye in fear, "Your Majesty, I really didn't mean it."

"Before Taoist Master Liuzhang had done his trick and the monster was caught out, you dare to slander the queen like this. If I don't hit you, who will you hit? What kind of thing are you? You dare to question my queen, slap your mouth!"

The old lady and Shaw immediately became anxious and apologized, "Emperor, Qinwei is just outspoken and has no brains when speaking. Please forgive me for this matter. The old woman will definitely discipline her strictly in the future and will never let Qinwei slander the queen any more."

"Qinwei, why don't you apologize to the Queen quickly! Can you talk nonsense about things without evidence? What exactly do you want to do?"

Xiao Linye did not buy it, and his face looked ugly, "The queen is my wife whom I am a married woman. Whoever insults her is insulting me. Disrespect me is a crime and you must not let it go easily. Since the old lady and the wife cannot discipline their daughter well, the maids and nannies in the palace don't mind disciplineing you for you. Don't stand there, hurry up and slap!"

The maid next to the emperor immediately walked forward, rolled up her sleeves and slapped Huang Qinwei hard on the face.

The painful and shrill screams sounded over the Fengluan Palace, and everyone who heard them couldn't help but be frightened.

After ten slaps, Huang Qinwei's face became swollen, as ugly as a pig's head, and bright red blood penetrated out of the corners of her mouth. The more embarrassed she was, the more embarrassed she was.

Xu Muqing kept watching in a dignified and elegant posture before she said slowly, "Miss Huang, even if she is the emperor's legitimate cousin, she can't speak without thinking. Don't you understand the truth about the monarch and minister? When this palace really makes the mother unconscious, there is conclusive evidence. Whatever you want to say about this palace, I can only bear it, right?"

Xiao Linye was filled with anger and was very unhappy. Huang Qinwei hit his gun, why did he still endure it?

The old lady and Shaw's eyes were red with heartache, but they dared not speak out. They even cursed Xu Muqing's ancestors for the eighteen generations in their hearts, and they hated her to the core.

Xu Muqing didn't care whether they were hating or not. She felt relieved and focused on Taoist Master Liu Zhang again. "You haven't answered the question of this palace? What kind of monster can lock the queen mother? The queen mother's golden branches and jade leaves are extremely noble. No monster dares to harm her easily."

"The Empress, the old Taoist is not clear now. He must wait until the method is done before he understands. Please forgive me."

Faced with the Taoist priest's discooperation, Xu Muqing's face showed a look of regret, "Then I will not waste your time. I will drive away the evil spirits as soon as possible and let the queen mother wake up quickly."

Taoist Master Liuzhang took a long sword and circled around the big locust tree, muttering something in his mouth. The peach wood sword changed into various tricks in the air. After about half a stick of incense, thick smoke came out of his yellow paper talisman, and a terrifying and weird face was reflected in the bowl of the method.

"The demon appears quickly!"

The Taoist priest's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and a strange and fanatical light burst out, and the peach wood sword pointed at the location where the doll was buried before.

"Emperor, there is a puppet here. The empress dowager was dripped on the birth date with blood. The puppet was stabbed with densely packed pieces of me. The man who wanted to harm the empress dowager was vicious, and he clearly wanted to use this method to make the empress dowager die!"

Taoist Master Liu Zhang's tone was very certain, and those eyes seemed to see through everything. When he spoke, his meaningful eyes looked back and forth three times on Xu Muqing.

When Xu Muqing heard this, she couldn't help laughing secretly in her heart. It was indeed a conspiracy against her. She thought this priest was so profound and unfathomable. She just collected the money from Duke Anguo's Mansion and deliberately made such a thing to plot against her.

It would be too ugly to be greedy for power and wealth.

The old lady became very excited, and her tears slid down like beads that kept threading. She choked and said, "Emperor, the old woman said that the Empress Dowager had provoked evil spirits and was so hurt by the monster. Why is my daughter so miserable? She finally endured the hardship and was implicated and encountered such a thing."

Xiao Linye looked at his wife with concern, Xu Muqing smiled innocently at him, shook her head gently, indicating that she really won’t be in trouble.

"Okay, since Taoist Master Liu Zhang said there was a monster below, what kind of clothes does the puppet look like, and what kind of birth date and horoscope are there, you said it. The most important point is that you are sure there are really puppets underground. Are the empress dowager's birth date and horoscope clear? How many can you see?"

Taoist Master Liu Zhang was stared at by the emperor's majestic gaze, and he didn't feel afraid. He said calmly, "Reply to the emperor, the Empress Dowager's birth date was pressed at the bottom of the puppet doll, and he could only see some pen and ink, which the old Taoist could not see clearly.

However, the old Taoist could see that the Empress Dowager was wearing a purple phoenix robe, which was very expensive. However, the puppet doll was poured with blood, so the Empress Dowager was unconscious for no reason, started to have a high fever, and kept talking nonsense."

Xiao Linye laughed furiously. If he didn't understand at this moment that Taoist Master Liu Zhang deliberately framed his wife, he would have been in vain in the harem over the years.

"I didn't expect that someone had such sharp eyes and could see through. Taoist Master Liu Zhang's Taoist practice is really profound."

The very powerful Taoist priest said modestly, "The emperor praised it."

Xiao Linye's smile froze instantly. He looked at Master Qing'an and asked calmly, "Master Qing'an, have you seen it? Is there really a puppet under this big locust tree that harms the mother queen?"

Taoist Master Qing'an's face was not blushing, and his heart was not beating. He spoke expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, the faction I practiced is different from Taoist Master Liu Zhang, so I didn't see it. I will have to wait until I dug it out to know whether there are puppet dolls under the big locust tree."

Xu Muqing's smile on the corner of her lips became even colder, and there was a pressure around her body emitted. She spoke slowly, "Master Liu Zhang is so sure that there is a puppet doll under the big locust tree. According to the Taoist priest's intention, the empress dowager was unconscious but was deliberately framed by someone with ulterior motives?"

Taoist Master Liu Zhang's face was full of affirmation, "That's right, since there is a puppet doll, it is definitely not a simple monster or evil spirit framed, but someone deliberately used this method to make the Empress Dowager unconscious."

The old lady and Shao Brothers stared at Xu Muqing with hatred, and they almost cut her into pieces.

The only mistress in the entire harem is the Empress Dowager and the Queen. The Empress Dowager is in a coma and is in danger of her life. Who else is the biggest suspect besides Xu Muqing?

All the concubines left by Xiao Lie were driven to the royal temple to practice. Even if you want to harm the empress dowager, your hands would not be able to stretch out that long.

"Your Majesty, it's so hard for the Empress Dowager to be hurt. Please be sure to find out the people who killed the Empress Dowager and punish them severely. Please ask the Emperor to severely punish the murderer."

The old lady, Shaw Brothers, Huang Tan and others knelt in front of the emperor and said in tears.

Xiao Linye suppressed his impatientness in his heart, "Why are you crying? Since that's the case, please ask Taoist Master Liu Zhang to dig out the puppet doll below, so I can feel at ease when I see it with my own eyes."

Taoist Master Liuzhang was eager to try, and the peach wood sword was aimed at the place where the puppet was originally hidden and it was about to dig it down.

Xu Muqing suddenly said loudly, "Slow down—"

"What else do you want, Queen, what do you want to do? Why don't you let the puppet doll come out? Do you have an ulterior motive in your heart and are you afraid?"

The old lady stared at her, almost holding the charge of poisoning the empress dowager on her head.

Xu Muqing asked back without being outdone, "What are you worried about? Did I say I won't dig it? Master Liu Zhang, I will ask, I can dig it out, and the emperor will follow up on the follow-up investigation. The murderer who murdered the queen mother would not die well. This is beyond doubt. But if there is no evil spirit trapped by the puppet doll under the locust tree, what should you do?"

Taoist Master Liu Zhang said in a very affirmative tone, "The old Taoist has seen it, it is absolutely impossible to have nothing. Please rest assured to the Queen."

She showed a sarcastic and contemptuous sneer on her face, "Since you have already reached this point, please dig it out quickly, so as to avoid the evil spirits of people who always say something sarcastic, saying that this palace is a monster, and bringing those unclean things into the palace to implicate the Queen Mother."

It was just an old man who cheated and said he was a Taoist priest with a high level of cultivation. Now they said it is so sure that they will be beaten in the face afterwards!

Taoist Master Liu Zhang took the peach wood sword, squatted on the ground and started digging.

The old lady, Huang Tanya, Huang Qinwei and Shaw brothers all had their eyes lit up, and they looked at the picture in front of them with anticipation.

When the puppet doll is dug out, the queen will never have a good life. Even if she doesn't die, she will have to take off a layer of skin. She will be charged with using witchcraft to murder the queen mother. In the end, she will be deposed and sent to the cold palace!
