With the key evidence in hand, the finger was quickly pointed at Shoukang Palace.
Immediately afterwards, the secret guards sent by the emperor to investigate General Xie's mansion also came back to report.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates did not find the witchcraft doll mentioned in the secret letter. Instead, they found that General Xie's study contains many items that you have gifted. They seem to respect you very much."
The emperor stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back, recalling that General Xie had fought with great success throughout his life, and had defended the border from foreign enemies for decades.
But he was plotted by the Queen Mother to get angry at Queen Xie. He must have broken the Queen's heart!
"To convey my decree, I will confer the title of Lord of the State to General Xie. General Xie will be rewarded three thousand taels of silver for his meritorious service in protecting the country."
The news that the Queen's mother's family was granted a title spread quickly throughout the harem as if it had wings.
Everyone knows that after this time, the queen's status has not been shaken at all, but has become more stable.
If it used to be a crumbling brick and earth house, it is now a skyscraper made of reinforced concrete. No matter how hard Empress Dowager Ren punches or kicks her, she will not be able to shake it at all. On the contrary, her own hands and feet will be broken.
Regarding this news, the happiest people were Liu Man and Zhao Guifei.
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
"The Emperor's hand may have swollen the Queen Mother's face!"
Liu Man was laughing so hard that her barbell-like laughter was so penetrating that it could be heard clearly even through several walls, which made the little eunuch sent by the Queen Mother to squat outside Yikun Palace to inquire for information was extremely depressed.
He didn't hear any useful news at all. Instead, Concubine Liu listened to a lot of the Empress Dowager's non-repetitive sarcasm.
This...how will he reply if he goes back?
The little eunuch gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, turned around and left from a corner where no one could see him.
Compared with not being able to find out the information, if the Queen Mother knew about her embarrassing things and let him hear them, he would probably not end well.
System: [The little eunuch who was eavesdropping outside has been scared away by you. I am afraid he will not dare to spy on the queen again in a short time. 】
Liu Man: [Hmph, I'm afraid this old woman has no time to care about these things anymore. Even if she is the emperor's biological mother, if this happens, her precious eldest son will be completely separated from her! 】
"Tell me what happened today. Oh, if it weren't for these two things in my belly that are holding me back, I would have gone to the scene to have a look!"
After hearing such explosive news, Concubine Zhao became even more curious. She also vaguely heard about what happened today, but it was not as exciting as Liu Man's personal account.
Liu Man's story-telling skills are no worse than those told by storytellers outside. When the same story comes out of her mouth, there is a kind of magic that makes people want to stop and want to hear it again.
Concubine Zhao thought to herself that when the two little cubs came out of her belly, their godmother would tell them stories in different ways every day.
Liu Man didn't know that she had been arranged by Concubine Zhao. From now on, she would be pestered by two nanny girls every day, shouting "godmother" every day, vying to crawl into her arms and let her tell stories every day. It's all a life of chaos.
"That's what happened, but this is just the first shot of the "Harem Cannon Fodder Counterattack" that I formulated!"
Liu Man stood up passionately, waving a handkerchief embroidered with a salted fish emoticon, and told the queen and Concubine Zhao her battle plan.
"My ideal is to kill the Queen Mother! Kill the heroine! Kill King Yi! Kill the Emperor (depending on his performance)?"
When the system saw that the salted fish host finally worked hard, it cooperated and cheered [Ula! 】
Liu Yunlong Man: [2B, bring your Italian cannon to me, I will blow them up! 】
Queen & Concubine Zhao: Your ideal is our ideal, and the direction of your finger is the direction of our attack!
Although I don’t understand what an Italian cannon is, it’s okay to applaud.
At this time, the emperor didn't know that because of his bad performance today, he had been included in Liu Man's list of dark sharks.
If he continues to act like a dog, he will be reduced to the same situation as the Queen Mother and the heroine, and Liu Man's Italian cannon will bomb them indiscriminately.
System: [The premise is that you really have so many points to exchange for Italian guns. 】
The system store door automatically opened towards Liu Man, and a golden ball of light that looked very "noble" flew in front of Liu Man.
【Italian Cannon Lv.999】
Price: 299999
Time limit: 99 years
Message: Shoot all the people you hate! 50 shots in a row! If there is still a little bit of scum left, I lose!
The cannon in the picture is like a dormant beast, cold, dangerous, mysterious and noble.
Liu Man was about to get closer and admire the cannon that she could never afford in her life, but the golden light spot suddenly ran away quickly without any nostalgia, as if there was a ghost chasing it behind.
Liu Man stretched out Erkang's hand and said reluctantly: "Farewell!" My dream love, don’t leave! 】
System: [The system store has just detected your two-digit points and determined that you do not meet the purchase conditions. 】
In order to protect the mental health of the host, the system did not tell her that the Italian cannon was running away and screaming at the same time.
"It's so scary. There is a poor person trying to taint the noble me. Run! If she touches me, I will lower the price!"
The innocent Liu Man didn't know that she was despised, and watched helplessly in the direction of its escape. She was like a country peasant woman who was abandoned by a scumbag who had become a successful man. She would never leave her even if he allowed him to scum into the world.
"Don't be in a daze! Let's get down to business. The Queen Mother has really tricked the Queen this time. I can't bear to go back without revenge."
Concubine Zhao could feel the risk just by listening to Liu Man's description.
Liu Man came back to her senses and banged the table angrily, "Yes, yes!"
She pretended to be thinking hard about the solution on her face, but what she was thinking in her heart was,
[How about I let Fat Orange pour the toilet cleaning spirit into the Queen Mother’s teacup tonight? 】
System: [I advise you to think carefully. With Fat Orange’s IQ, I am very afraid that it will poison me. 】
Liu Man thought for two seconds and nodded affirmatively.
[What you said makes sense. 】
Fat Orange: Meow (How dare you dare to question my IQ?)
~~~
After dinner, after dozens of punishments were handed down by the Shenxing Division, Cuiyu finally couldn't hold on any longer and told her everything the Empress Dowager had told her and the whole story of Liu Cairen taking the fake pregnancy pill.
The emperor sat at the dining table and read Cuiyu's confession again and again. Facing the table full of delicacies, he had no interest in using his chopsticks. He just kept drinking one glass after another of strong liquor.
Alcohol can numb the nerves, but it cannot numb the wounded heart.
False pregnancy pill, witchcraft doll with his birth date...
"See the Emperor."
This was the first time for the palace maids to see the emperor walking into Shoukang Palace in anger and smelling of alcohol.
"Squeak——"
The heavy wooden door was pushed open by the emperor, and a thick stream of white smoke blew into his face, choking the emperor and almost coughing out his lungs.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what the hell is this? Please put out the incense in the furnace!"
The aroma was so sweet and overpowering that the emperor coughed until tears came out before he regained his composure.
"Don't destroy it. This Buddha incense is ten thousand gold and one tael. Even if I sell it, you won't be able to afford it!"
Seeing that Xun'an was about to put out the incense burner with water, the Queen Mother pushed him away with a ferocious expression and stretched her body to protect him in front of the incense burner.
It's neither watering Xun'an nor watering, and he just stood there in a dilemma.
The emperor and the queen mother were fighting with two giant Buddhas, and he, a little eunuch, was caught in the middle. He was in a dilemma!
The emperor accepted Xun'an's pitiful look for help and let him go because he had served him since he was a child.
"Isn't the Queen Mother prepared to give me an explanation for Liu Cairen's miscarriage?"
There was a mother and son, one outside and one inside. They had two similar faces separated by a door, both with the same cold look on their faces.
