After entering Cihe Palace, Qin Zhao stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother.
At this time Concubine Wu came, with a bright smile on her face, and she could tell she was in a good mood.
When Concubine Wu glanced at Qin Zhao, a meaningful smile appeared.
Qin Zhao pretended not to see anything and stood quietly aside.
Soon after, Xiao Ce accompanied the emperor to Cihe Palace.
Everyone was chatting away and the atmosphere was quite good.
At this moment, Nanny Li came in to deliver a message, saying that Master Xingyun had arrived.
"Let him in." The Queen Mother ordered.
Not long after, Master Xingyun entered and greeted all the distinguished guests present.
As Fang stood still, Master Xingyun suddenly said: "To the Queen Mother, there is a demonic atmosphere in Cihe Palace!"
As soon as he said this, Concubine Wu couldn't wait to answer: "Master, are you sure?"
"Of course." Master Xingyun started counting on the spot.
He was wandering around the room while calculating. When he came to Qin Zhao, he stopped moving.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao pretended to be curious and asked: "Master, have you found out where the evil spirit is?"
Master Xingyun still had his eyes closed at this time. When he heard her voice, he immediately jumped two steps back: "This is the evildoer who caused the Queen Mother to be haunted by evil spirits. Everyone, please retreat quickly!!"
As soon as Master Xingyun said this, everyone was so frightened that they immediately stayed away from Qin Zhao.
Only Xiao Ce, who was standing next to Qin Zhao, did not move. He curled his lips sarcastically: "You said Gu is a monster?! Do you know that slandering the royal family is a capital crime? Tell me, who ordered you to talk evil and harm everyone!"
Upon hearing this, Master Xingyun hurriedly explained: "The poor monk is not talking about His Royal Highness, but this monster!"
He pointed at Qin Zhao with a clear goal, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
Qin Zhao looked at Master Xingyun with an innocent face and retorted: "This is funny. You, an old monk, said that I am a monster, but I can still call you a magic stick. You are talking nonsense and I don't know what it means!"
When Concubine Wu heard this, she immediately understood that Qin Zhao wanted to change the focus. She scolded her coldly: "Don't talk nonsense in front of Master Xingyun. Master Xingyun is an eminent monk and the most trusted eminent monk of the Daqi royal family..."
"Whether it is an eminent monk or a magic stick, the imperial concubine alone does not have the final say. Old monk, do you have any evidence to prove that I am a monster?" Qin Zhao looked at Master Xingyun.
She instantly exuded a majestic air. Under her gaze, Master Xingyun gradually showed timidity and said in a nonchalant manner: "I don't need evidence..."
"You don't need evidence to make nonsense? How dare you, a so-called eminent monk, decide the life and death of others with just one mouthful? The old monk can't provide evidence to prove that I am a monster, but I have evidence to prove that the old monk is not a peaceful person.
Yes, my heart is as high as the sky!" Qin Zhao said softly and raised his lips.
Master Xingyun's heart skipped a beat. His heart was indeed as high as the sky. How did Qin Liangdi see that?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Zhao smiled and said: "Just from the name of Master Xingyun, we can see that you are a restless mage. Even the prince and princess of Daqi do not dare to use Xingheyun as a taboo.
You, an old monk who has nothing in the world, actually wants to be equal to the world."
Speaking of this, she suddenly roared: "Who gave you the courage?!"
Her aura was so strong that at that moment Master Xingyun's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees, thinking that he was facing the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Concubine Wu hurriedly said: "Qin Liangdi, don't change the focus! There is no doubt that Master Xingyun is an enlightened monk. If the master says you are a monster, then you are a monster!"
"The imperial concubine is eager to speak for the old monk, which will make people think that the old monk belongs to the imperial concubine." Qin Zhaopi said with a smile.
Concubine Wu's expression suddenly changed: "How dare you slander me at will?!"
"Whether it is a slander or not, the imperial concubine knows it well!" Qin Zhao said, looking at Master Xingyun, and said seriously: "Old monk, I advise you to tell the truth about the matter. The emperor and the queen mother are both in Cihe Palace.
If you lie, it is the crime of deceiving the emperor. You should know the consequences of deceiving the emperor without me going into details."
Under Qin Zhao's gaze, Master Xingyun was frightened. He even doubted whether Qin Zhao knew the whole truth.
Concubine Wu saw that Master Xingyun was hesitating, and she shouted coldly: "Isn't the master here to catch the evildoer? Since the master believes that Qin Liangdi is evil, come and capture Qin Liangdi!"
She gave the order, but no one took action because there was the Emperor and the Queen Mother above Concubine Wu.
The Queen Mother watched the excitement for a while, and finally spoke: "The Ai family didn't even say anything, but the noble concubine is so grand!"
When Concubine Wu heard this, she felt something was wrong. She quickly expressed her loyalty to the Queen Mother: "I was afraid that the Queen Mother would be harmed by evildoers, so I mentioned it. The Queen Mother's health is important. Don't get angry with me...
"
The Queen Mother didn't want to listen to Concubine Wu's nonsense anymore, so she ordered in a cold voice: "Doctor Feng, come in."
After receiving the order, Imperial Physician Feng came in from the side hall.
"Tell me everything you know." The Queen Mother said, her cold eyes fixed on Concubine Wu's face.
"Yes, the Queen Mother." Doctor Feng then told the story of taking the Queen Mother's pulse in the East Palace.
After listening to what Dr. Feng said, the emperor looked solemnly: "What does the queen mean by someone deliberately harming the queen?"
"There is something wrong with this box of tea from Aijia. Someone has checked it. The medicine will slowly dissipate over time. In just a few days, there will be nothing strange about the tea, and no one will find this box.
The tea has been drugged." The Queen Mother said, looking at Concubine Wu who looked pale: "Concubine, please tell me why there is something wrong with the tea you gave to the Ai family?"
Concubine Wu was already frightened by this sudden change and lost her mind: "I, I am not here, I don't know what the Queen Mother said..."
"I don't know?!" The Queen Mother looked at Master Xingyun: "Monk, tell me, did the imperial concubine bribe you to prove that Qin Liangdi is evil?!"
At this moment, what is there that everyone present can’t understand? This is clearly Concubine Wu’s intention to use the Queen Mother to deal with Qin Zhao, and Master Xingyun is the most important chess piece.
Concubine Wu said hurriedly: "I don't know Master Xingyun..."
"Come here, since the monk is unwilling to confess, we will impose severe punishment until the monk confesses." Xiao Ce ordered coldly.
At this time, some soldiers came forward and took Master Xingyun into custody.
Master Xingyun is very ambitious but very timid. How can he dare to deny it after seeing such a battle?
He hurriedly said: "The poor monk has been recruited and all confessed. Yes, it was the imperial concubine who bribed the poor monk..."
Following him, he told Concubine Wu how to bribe him. The concubine said that when the deal was accomplished, she would give him a large sum of money as a thank you gift.
He is greedy for money, so how could he not agree?
He didn't expect that Concubine Wu would actually dig such a big hole for him, and this time he was harmed miserably by Concubine Wu.
