Cheng Qingqing asked again: "Who do you worship as your teacher? And who brought you here? How long have you been in Zhongyun City?"

"It's Taoist Priest Qinglin. He teaches me techniques during the day, but I have to sleep with him at night, otherwise he won't teach me. In order to get revenge, I had to agree to him. It has been four months since I came to Zhongyun City, and Taoist Priest Qinglin came to find me. I was given a piece of human skin to disguise myself and gave me a new identity, hoping to wait for Baili Changyao’s draft so that I could have the opportunity to enter the palace and get close to the emperor.”

Shangguan Fu became more and more excited as she spoke, "But we have been waiting for several months, and the emperor has been reluctant to choose a concubine. Today is the Qing Palace Banquet, which is the only chance to get close to the emperor, but Baili Changyao is a dog emperor." But I am not tempted by beauty. I can only use magic to control him. As long as I can control him to stay in the palace, as long as I have one day, I can kill the empress and Baili Yi and avenge my parents, ha. Ha ha……"

After listening to her words, the ministers all felt a chill down their spines, and even felt fear in their hearts. This woman was simply a poisonous snake.

At the same time, I was glad in my heart. Fortunately, the emperor was not a womanizer and did not draft her. Otherwise, with her stunningly beautiful face just now, ordinary men would not be able to withstand the temptation.

Then their empress and prince had long been murdered by this woman.

Cheng Qingqing suppressed the anger in her heart and asked again: "Where is Taoist Master Qinglin now?"

"No. 53, West Lane, Qilin Street, Dongcheng..."

Before Shangguan Fu finished speaking, Fang Zhengjun and several generals immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, I will lead people to capture the old Taoist Qinglin to prevent others from escaping."

Cheng Qingqing shook her head, "No, with your strength, you can't deal with him."

"Let me go!" Ling Batian was already standing next to her at some point, "Don't worry! That bitch's spell is no match for me yet."

"Okay." She agreed.

Although Old Taoist Qinglin was Si Wenchang's nominal junior brother, his strength was much inferior. It was enough for Ling Batian to follow him.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, and your subordinates will follow." Ling Feng and Dong Yuxing spoke at the same time.

"Yeah." Li Beimo hummed lightly.

"Let's go!" Ling Batian left with a few people.

Fang Zhengjun and the governor of Jingzhao couldn't stand what happened. After saying goodbye to the emperor, they also left the palace.

At this time, the Xiao family had been controlled by the imperial guards. Mrs. Xiao and her son were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't know why things turned out like this.

Cheng Qingqing took out another bottle and handed it to Dongyue, "Wake him up."

"As ordered!"

Dongyue took the bottle, opened the lid, and poured the powder into Xiao Shilang's face and neck.

After a while, Xiao Shilang moved. He was woken up by the itch. As soon as he woke up, he scratched his face with his hands.

Baili Changjin came over, grabbed Xiao Shilang's front and lifted him up, "Bitch, who gave you the courage to actually want to harm the emperor's brother?"

Xiao Shilang suddenly came to his senses, "Jin... Lord Jin, please spare your life... Weichen has no... no intention of harming Your Majesty. Weichen was also... deceived..."

"Are you still making excuses? Do you want me to kill you?" Baili Changjin raised his fist and smashed it down.

With just one punch, Xiao Shilang's nose was bleeding.

But he knew that the person couldn't be beaten to death yet, "Qing'er, what do you think we should do with him?"

Cheng Qingqing said: "Let him tell you how he hooked up with Qinglin Lao Dao?"

"Do you hear me clearly? It's best to explain the matter clearly and let you die happily, otherwise! Your whole family will be executed in Lingchi." Baili Changjin said harshly.

"I said...please, Your Majesty, let Wei Chen's wife and children go. They are innocent. It was Wei Chen's greed for profit that made him commit an unforgivable mistake!" Xiao Shilang cried and begged for mercy.

"Hmph!" Baili Changjin finally dumped him, "Then tell me!"

"Yes...it's like this..." Xiao Shilang tremblingly told him how he met Taoist Priest Qinglin.

It turned out that three months ago, he received the notice that he was transferred to Kyoto to serve. He was very happy. His talents were finally appreciated by the emperor.

After cleaning up, he took his wife and children to Zhongyun City in Kyoto. When passing through a mountain range, he was attacked by hundreds of bandits, and the dozens of guards he brought with him were quickly defeated.

At the critical moment, a Taoist priest suddenly descended from the sky and waved the fly whisk several times in his hand, and the robbers were beaten away.

He knelt down to thank him and gave gold and silver to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest did not accept it, saying that it was fate to be able to save him here.

The Taoist priest also told his fortune, saying that he was destined to be rich and powerful, and that he would become a prince, prime minister, and a highly respected minister in the future.

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. He thought he had met a god.

After he came to Zhongyun City, everything went smoothly, and he was even praised by the emperor himself in the court.

Two months ago, the Taoist priest suddenly found him and brought a woman with him. He said that the woman was a fox girl, but she had a phoenix destiny and was destined to be a queen. The official career will be prosperous and the power will be overwhelming.

That woman was the current Shangguan Fu. When he looked at the woman, he was stunned by her beautiful appearance. He was sure that the emperor would like such a fairy-like woman.

So, he listened to the Taoist priest, adopted Shangguan Fu as his adopted daughter, and named her Xiao Yurou.

After Xiao Yurou entered the palace, she always seemed well-behaved and sensible. The couple liked her very much. Thinking that she would be the queen in the future, they doted on her and responded to her requests.

It wasn't until today that they realized that underneath this beautiful face, there was actually another ugly face.

When the ministers heard what he said, they all broke into cold sweats.

I was secretly glad that Qinglin didn't come to me. Otherwise, with his words and Shangguan Fu's fake face, I might not be able to withstand the temptation!

"Your Majesty, it's all the humble ministers who have been exploited by others and almost made a big mistake. I'm willing to die to apologize. I just ask Your Majesty to let me go!" After speaking, Xiao Shilang kowtowed to the emperor repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground. on, making a "bang bang" sound.

All the ministers secretly shook their heads. Although Xiao Shilang was deceived, it was true that he was trying to trick the emperor and almost caused a catastrophe. How could the emperor let him go?

"Your Majesty, Xiao Jing'an is an official of the imperial court, but he does not distinguish between good and evil and is deceived by others. He intends to murder you. His crime is extremely heinous and he should be punished by the Nine Tribes!" A minister suggested.

"Although Xiao Jingan was deceived, it is true that he wanted to use his beauty to seduce His Majesty so that he could be promoted and make a fortune. Such evil people must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

The ministers demanded severe punishment for Minister Xiao.

Baili Changyao looked at the Prime Minister who had remained silent, "Prime Minister Nan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The Prime Minister considered it for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, since you have made a big mistake, you must deal with it according to the law. Xiao Jingan's intention to murder the Holy One is a crime against the Nine Clan..."
