The wheels were rattling, and in the luxurious and spacious carriage, Wang Simu sat on the soft woolen chair with some restraint, occasionally glancing at his aunt who was expressionless and sitting still.

Her aura is very strong, which makes me feel a little pressure. Wang Simu thought to himself, because of the pressure from her future mother-in-law, she did not dare to move.

Why is Simu not moving? Her expression is so reserved and serious. Is it so scary to see the Queen Mother? You should say a few words. My butt hurts when I sit down. I want to move my aunt but she maintains her cool posture. I am very anxious.

But she had never entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, thinking it was a necessary ritual.

Wang Simu didn't move, and neither did she.

The Xu Mansion was not far from the Imperial City. Two-quarters of an hour later, the luxurious carriage entered the Imperial City. Another quarter of an hour later, it finally arrived at the palace gate.

After passing the inquiry from the Habayashi Guards, the carriage easily drove into the palace and stopped by the shed where the carriage was parked.

With the help of the maid, Wang Simu stepped out of the carriage on a small wooden stool. Then she turned around and helped her aunt out of the carriage just like the maid helped herself.

The future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law led the maids in the direction of Fengqi Palace. The aunt looked forward, maintaining the demeanor she had practiced at home for a long time, and deliberately said in a calm tone:

"Simu, this is my first time entering the palace. I'm not familiar with the rules in this palace. Please tell me."

In fact, my aunt knows a little bit. The Queen Mother is such a thoughtful person. She knows that the mistress of the Xu family has never been in the palace. She has already sent the nuns from the palace to teach the Xu family the corresponding etiquette...

It's just that my aunt didn't learn it carefully and often yawned and felt sleepy. After learning it for a few days, she made no mistakes at all.

It’s not that her aunt is gifted, she’s just Xu Yinluo’s aunt. How could she be wrong?

Wang Simu answered every question and spoke softly about the rules of the palace. When my aunt heard this, she thought to herself, "Oh, this is not the same as what I learned. Damn old aunt, you dare to play tricks on me."

If this happened at home, my aunt would pinch her waist and raise her eyebrows.

While talking, the group of people entered Fengqi Palace under the leadership of the eunuch.

The environment and layout of Fengqi Palace made my aunt stunned for a moment. It was hard to imagine that it was a place where the Queen Mother lived. It was too cold.

Crossing the threshold, in the spacious and bright living room with sandalwood scent floating in the air, my aunt saw the Queen Mother, the biological mother of the current empress, a graceful and extremely beautiful woman.

My aunt is also considered to have numerous beauties. Because her nephew is a pervert, there are often high-quality beauties living in the house.

In addition, she and her eldest daughter Xu Lingyue are also outstanding beauties.

But when I met the Queen Mother, I suddenly realized that if the Queen Mother were twenty years younger, she would probably be the most beautiful woman in the capital. Oh, that Imperial Master is the most beautiful woman in the capital.

As for a certain flower god, my aunt didn't know her, so she didn't take her seriously or keep her in mind.

The Queen Mother had a cold personality and was not humble and polite to her aunt because of Xu Qi'an.

The Empress Dowager is determined now when she has no desires. The daughter who became the emperor not long ago came to her and wanted to cancel the engagement between Lin'an and Xu Qi'an. However, the Empress Dowager blocked her on the grounds that the marriage was already fixed and could not be changed.

Huaiqing tried to use his aura to force his mother to surrender, but found that her mother had no desire, no fear, and was defeated in despair.

After that time, Huaiqing became angry and never came to visit the Queen Mother again.

The Queen Mother doesn't care either.

"Xu Yinluo is a young and heroic man who is the dream spouse of countless unmarried women. I have also heard some stories about him in the past."

The Queen Mother drank tea, her tone was neither fast nor slow, neither salty nor light, emphasizing an elegant and indifferent tone:

"Lin'an is my Dafeng princess, and there is absolutely no reason to marry another woman. I heard Simu say that you are a strong-willed mistress, and you have been able to suppress him to death since you were a child.

"I need you to give a definite answer to this matter."

Why did I suppress him so hard? That bastard was angry with me every day. Just like Ling Yin, he had trouble with me every day. My aunt didn't show any expression, but she began to feel aggrieved for herself in her heart.

She didn't know how to respond to this question, so she turned to look at Wang Simu.

She looked at what I was doing. Was she dissatisfied with me informing the Queen Mother? She wanted me to solve the trouble I had caused? Wang Simu felt shuddering and smiled without changing her expression:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xu Yinluo and His Highness Lin'an are in love with each other, and they will definitely not disappoint His Highness."

Hey, it seems that Lingyue and Simu have agreed in advance, so I'm relieved. Auntie's eyes lit up, and she nodded when she saw the Queen Mother looking at her.

The Queen Mother also nodded:

"So good."

Next, the two parties discussed the wedding process and occasionally chatted about off-topic topics.

Every time my aunt felt that something the Queen Mother said was too high-end, she would look at Wang Simu.

Wang Simu felt that this was her mother-in-law giving her a chance and nurturing her as her future daughter-in-law, and she immediately became very attentive.

After lunch, Wang Simu returned to the carriage, relieved, feeling as if he had fought a battle, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Neither the Queen Mother nor my future mother-in-law are economical, but it is hard for me to survive in the cracks. Erlang, when will you return to Beijing? Wang Simu suddenly missed his fiancé.

At the same time, she admired her future mother-in-law very much. It was her first time entering the palace and meeting the Queen Mother for the first time, but she could keep a straight face and act so well, giving people the impression that she was the Queen Mother.

For an average woman, even if her family suddenly becomes rich and her status is different, the cultivation of her mentality and temperament does not happen overnight.

My future mother-in-law will really be burying unicorns in the fields.

I'm so exhausted that my face is almost stiff. Xu Ningyan, this bastard, will drag me down even if we get married. I can't wait to rub my face with my hands.

Royal study room.

Sitting behind the big case, after reviewing the memorial, Huaiqing spread out a piece of rice paper and wrote:

"Taoist, incense and fire god, earth script, warlock, supervisor, gatekeeper"

She connected all these clues together in her mind.

At that time, the Taoist Master destroyed the Incense and Fire Shinto and collected the mountain and river sacred seals. His purpose was unknown, but it has been confirmed to be related to the gatekeeper.

This point is inferred through the warlock system established by the first generation of supervisors.

The Warlock system is obviously an extension, or branch, of Incense Shinto, but contemporary Warlocks are suspected of being gatekeepers. What does this mean?

This shows that the Incense Shinto back then probably involved gatekeepers, and the gatekeepers were born from the Incense Shinto.

Therefore, Tao Zun's behavior conforms to logic.

The three questions mentioned by Xu Qi'an in the book from the ground are the cause and effect relationship of this truth.

"The earth sect spirit of Dao Zun has become a weapon spirit, so the first generation Jianzheng and Dao Zun have nothing to do with each other. The first generation should have obtained the inheritance of the incense and fire divine way by chance. Now it seems that Dao Zun was the one who refined the earth book in the first place.

The approach is wrong.

"On the other hand, looking back at the first generation of gatekeepers, they made mistakes and took the correct path of gatekeepers? I always feel that something is wrong."

Huaiqing remained silent and actively used his brain.

However, because members of the Tiandihui still don’t know what “gatekeeper” means or what it symbolizes, it is difficult to make effective inferences.

Huaiqing's heart moved, he took back his divergent thoughts and returned to the problem itself!

"Based on the previous clues, it is not difficult to deduce what the Dao Zong has been trying. The clone of the Earth Sect is trying the incense and fire divine way. What are the clones of the Tian Zong and the Ren Zong trying?

"By the way, was the Taoist who drove all the descendants of gods and demons out of Kyushu the original deity, or one of the two clones of heaven and man?

"In addition, with the avatar of the Earth Sect as a reference, the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of the Taoist leader of the Tian Sect has actually come to light."

This was also an attempt by Dao Zun, but it seemed that something went wrong.

After a while, Huaiqing pinched his eyebrows and decided to tell Xu Qian about this matter and let him worry about it. I'm tired.

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly entered and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the mistress of the Xu family just went to the Queen Mother's place."

Huaiqing said calmly:

"knew."

She paused and said:

"Go to Sitian Prison and send the woman Xu Qi'an left there to the Xu Mansion. Then bring a message to Lingbaoguan, saying that Xu Yinluo and Lin'an are getting married in a month."

Huaiqing still disdained to target a novice like Lin'an, she just created a little pressure on dear Xu Yinluo.

Let him have a good time fighting in Yongzhou and don't think about the love between his children.

Xunzhou, magistrate’s office, meeting hall.

Yang Gong summoned all senior generals to discuss matters here, including Xu Qian, the pillar.

The battle to defend the city in Xunzhou was won, but it was only a partial victory and the situation was still grim.

Next, is the real crisis that the Dafeng defenders will face.

Sun Xuanji brought Protector Yuan into the meeting hall. Yang Gong and the generals were surprised. They looked at Protector Yuan and wondered what was going on?

Protector Yuan was wearing a prison uniform, handcuffs, shackles, and wooden shackles. He looked like he was about to be beheaded on the execution ground.

Protector Yuan glanced at everyone and easily read their thoughts and understood their doubts. Protector Yuan explained sadly:

"Xu Yinluo put this on for me. The purpose is to make me remember better and remember that disaster comes from the mouth."

Everyone was overjoyed and couldn't help but ask:

"What if I don't have a long memory?"

Protector Yuan said sadly:

"I'm already like this, so the next step is of course to take him out and behead him."
