Ye Tantai raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew Su Qingcheng's situation very well. Before she proposed to marry him, she had never even left the Su mansion, let alone entered the palace to choose a concubine.

But not long ago, when she was drunk and hugging him, she said something like "this palace", which made him wonder whether Su Qingcheng really had some dream of being a queen?

Su Qingcheng didn't want to explain, she crossed her hands on her chest and asked, "What do you think?"

"No way?" Gu Huoyan looked in disbelief, "The emperor can be your father..."

This sentence made Su Qingcheng laugh out loud and said: "Of course not, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Huoyan curled his lips and said: "The palace has been tightening the investigation recently. I may not be able to come out often. If you have anything, ask Huo Mei to bring it to me."

After speaking, he left through the secret passage in the study.

Ye Tantai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were like clear springs, and he joked: "I accidentally heard the princess confessing to the palace before, does she really want to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

Su Qingcheng's body froze for a while, and she tried hard to recall that she had never said similar words in front of Ye Tantai, and pretended to be calm and said: "How could it be? The prince must have heard wrong."

"That's not the case. I heard clearly with both ears what the princess said about my son." Ye Tantai continued.

"Maybe I'm talking in my sleep," Su Qingcheng said calmly without looking directly at Ye Tantai, "I haven't slept very well recently. I always like to have nightmares. We often slept together in the past few days, didn't we?"

Ye Tantai looked at her desperately looking for excuses and suddenly felt very cute: "Why did I remember that it wasn't when we were sleeping..."

"When was that?" Su Qingcheng also became curious. Except for the fact that she would dream about her past life when sleeping, she would not be able to say it unconsciously under other circumstances.

Ye Tantai closed his eyes, slowly wiped his chin with his hand, and said as if he was thinking hard, "I seem to have forgotten."

"I think the prince made it up," Su Qingcheng couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe the prince dreamed of me saying these words."

"So, you really want me to dream about you?"

Su Qingcheng couldn't think of how to continue speaking for a moment, so she stood up as if she hadn't heard the words: "It won't be too late to tell me when the prince thinks of it."

After several days of rigorous searches, things finally came to a head. The commander of the Royal Forest Army personally took people to Fengwu Hall and found some blood in transparent glass cups.

They were wary of the queen's status, so the commander of the Royal Forest Army respectfully bowed to the queen: "Queen, I'm afraid you have to come with us."

"Why? What did I commit?" The Queen's voice was light, but revealed a majesty that could not be refused, "This is just a brightly colored drink."

The commander of the Royal Forest Army was also a tough man. He directly opened the covers of the transparent glass cups and smelled them: "I'm sorry for being rude, this is obviously the smell of blood."

Under the pressure of the emperor, their imperial guards had not slept for several days and nights. If they didn't find something, I'm afraid they would be punished by the emperor.

He is the leader and must consider the brothers below.

"Please come with me, queen."

The Queen said: "If I refuse, what can you do to me?"

The commander of the Royal Forest Army felt his heart sinking, and said without being humble or arrogant: "Then we can only ask the Holy Spirit for instructions first."

The queen looked indifferent: "Okay."

A large group of imperial guards rushed to the Yangxin Hall, but were told that the emperor was still taking a nap, and the group was waiting at the door of the Yangxin Hall.

Half an hour later.

The emperor woke up and announced the command of the Yulin army. After hearing this, he was furious and sent an order to bring the queen and the blood to Yangxin Hall.

After Fu Xingzhou received the news, he hurried to Fengwu Palace, where the empress was pacing in the palace, worried.

"Mother!"

The moment the queen saw Fu Xingzhou, she seemed to have seen the savior: "Xingzhou, you are finally here, what should I do? What should I do..."

Fu Xingzhou wanted to hug her but thought of their identities. He grabbed the queen's shoulders with both hands and comforted her. She relaxed immediately and said, "The father-in-law who sent the message should be on the way at this time. What should I do?"

"Why is the queen so careless? Even though my father has ordered a strict investigation, she still doesn't know how to restrain herself." Although Fu Xingzhou's words were all reproaches, his tone was gentle.

The queen's eyes were full of panic: "I thought they wouldn't be so presumptuous, but what I didn't expect was the commander of the Royal Forest Army who came, and the golden dew hadn't even been collected yet."

"Why did the palace suddenly crack down on witchcraft and Gu?" Fu Xingzhou asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

He had been busy with matters in Dali Temple these days and did not pay too much attention to the situation in the palace.

The queen clenched her fists and her eyes were full of hatred: "I am not Mrs. Zunguo. I don't know what kind of disease she contracted and she has not woken up. Those quacks and sorcerers raised by the Holy Lord are talking about witchcraft and Gu. They are still pointing at the Holy Spirit. Came up."

"I see. According to my father's suspicious temperament, it is possible to conduct a thorough investigation of the palace." Fu Xingzhou's heart sank. This matter might not be easy to solve.

At this time, the commander of the Royal Forest Army had already arrived at the door of Fengwu Hall with the imperial edict: "With your Majesty's imperial edict, I have come to take the queen and the stolen goods to the Yangxin Hall."

The eldest maid in the Queen's Palace took a step forward and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. Your Majesty is taking a nap. When she wakes up, she will go with you."

The commander of the Royal Forest Army took out the saber in his hand and said with great momentum, "The Holy Lord has decreed that there should be no delay. I also ask my aunt to bring the Queen out."

The eldest palace maid frowned slightly. After the two parties were in a stalemate for a while, she compromised and said, "I'll call the empress right now. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

The queen was walking around anxiously at this time. When she heard the knock on the door, her nervousness was written directly on her face: "Who?"

Fu Xingzhou also took a breath.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army has come with the imperial edict, saying that the Holy One wants your Majesty to take those stolen goods to the Palace of Cultivation of Heart."

"I know."

The queen's heart tightened instantly. She ignored propriety, justice and shame, and grabbed Fu Xingzhou's hand, with tears in her eyes: "Xingzhou, you have to save me..."

Fu Xingzhou did not push her away. He put one hand on hers and held his own, and the other cupped her face. He gently wiped away the tears that were about to flow from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.

He had never looked at anyone with such tender eyes.

"I know..." As he said this, he slowly stretched his hand towards the back of the queen's neck and pushed her against his chest. "There is only one way to save you now. Do as I say."

The queen nodded, and suddenly there was a stinging pain in her arm.

She pushed Fu Xingzhou away and looked at him in horror: "What are you doing?"

Fu Xingzhou put away the dagger and held the queen's head: "Mother! The blood was all caused by you listening to the slander and cutting yourself every day to pray for your father, right?"

As he spoke, he took out a ribbon and tied the wound, and said, "Do you remember?"
