After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

Taoist Qinglin was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. "Your Majesty, I confess. I did accept one thousand taels of silver from someone to accuse the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion of cursing and murdering Your Majesty."

"Who ordered you?"

It didn't matter that he framed Yang Yufei. She was just a woman. It didn't matter to him whether she was disgraced or lost her life.

But this audacious beast actually used him as bait and almost took his life, which he could not tolerate.

Taoist Qinglin regretted it so much that his intestines turned green, and he cried, "I don't know. The man was wearing gray clothes, his face was sallow and full of wrinkles. He gave me 1,000 taels of silver and asked me to do what he said. Oh, and that person was an elderly woman."

"I couldn't help being tempted when I saw so much silver, so I recited the man's words, saying that she dyed the doll with blood, and cursed the person whose birth date was written on it."

"Except for falsely accusing the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, I have never done anything to murder the emperor."

"Where is the blood-stained cursed doll? The Dali Temple Minister didn't dig it out. How do you explain this matter?" The emperor didn't believe what the money-hungry Taoist priest said.

Yang Yufei said at this time, "Your Majesty, I can explain this matter. Because yesterday my father wanted to adopt a son from my second uncle's family, and some accidents happened in the ancestral hall. It may be that the ancestors appeared and did not want my father to recognize the child."

"So when we were worshipping, we saw our deceased ancestors appear and they protested strongly. My father and my grandmother were both struck by lightning, and the whole family was terrified."

"So the Marquis' Mansion has stepped up its guard in the past two days, clearing out all unclean things that might attract ghosts. No matter which courtyard it is, there are people guarding it. Perhaps the man originally wanted to use the bloody doll to curse the emperor, but he didn't have the chance to bury it under the century-old locust tree in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion."

She paused as she spoke, "If the cursed doll is still there, it's probably buried somewhere else."

Yang Daoling's face was burning. He hated Yang Yufei for actually revealing the secrets of the mansion. However, now that things had developed to this point, this was the best excuse.

"Your Majesty, what Yu Fei said is true. Something horrible happened in the ancestral hall of the Marquis' Mansion yesterday. I have ordered every courtyard to be on high alert, fearing that something bad will happen again. The person who wanted to curse Your Majesty with evil magic did not find the opportunity to do it."

The emperor still looked very unhappy. "Is there really a curse magic that uses blood to smear the puppet? If I don't find the cursed puppet, will it affect my life?"

He was asking Taoist Qinglin who was almost frightened to death.

"If the birth date is wrong, it won't have any impact." However, that person gave the emperor's birth date, and the evil curse does exist. If the bloody villain is not burned, it will really affect the emperor's life and fortune.

The emperor's tense nerves relaxed. No one should know his birth date except himself, including the empress dowager.

The horoscope displayed to the public is fake. It is the horoscope of Prince Yide who died long ago. So there is no need to be afraid.

"Drag this Taoist priest who is misleading the people with his lies away and beat him to death!" the emperor ordered with disgust on his face.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to frame others again. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."

Immediately, an agile eunuch covered the Taoist priest's mouth and dragged him out like a stray dog.

Soon the sound of sticks was heard again, accompanied by the man's painful groan.

After a while, the eunuch who was carrying out the execution came back and said, "Your Majesty, the Taoist priest has been beaten to death."

The stick was still stained with blood, which occasionally dripped onto the floor of the Meditation Hall.

Li Hexiong and Li Qingyun looked at the stick with pale faces. An intense fear enveloped them, almost forcing them to collapse.

If the emperor finds out that they are involved in this matter, will he kill them?

"Yang Yufei, I am so grateful to you today. If you hadn't discovered that I was allergic, I would probably never wake up and would have thought I was cursed."

When the emperor looked at her, his expression softened a little.

"Being able to share the emperor's worries is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes."

How could Yang Yufei dare to be proud? This matter concerned her life and reputation. No matter what the cost, she had to find out the truth of the matter and expose Taoist Qinglin's lies in order to get out of this matter unscathed.

"Can you find out what I'm allergic to? Someone used this method to frame me this time. Who knows if they'll use this method in the future?"

The emperor was really scared. It was the first time he felt death was so close to him.

"I can give it a try, but I cannot guarantee that I can find something that the emperor is allergic to."

Yang Yufei said half of the answer, "It could be from food or drink, it could be from skin contact, it could be from smell, the range is too wide."

"I'll give you two hours. If you can find something that I'm allergic to, I'll reward you handsomely."

Yang Yufei knelt down, her face full of humiliation. "I don't want any reward. If you find out what the emperor is allergic to, please send someone to investigate this matter and severely punish those who plotted to murder the emperor and framed me, and clear my name."

As she spoke, her voice choked with sobs, and she couldn't help but look in the direction of Li Qingyun, "Eighth Princess has always believed that it was me who used evil magic to curse and murder the emperor. I hope that after the misunderstanding is resolved, Eighth Princess will stop targeting me."

The emperor looked at her with murderous eyes, and the hairs on Li Qingyun's back stood up. She thought quickly and found an excuse immediately.

"Yang Yufei, I am not targeting you or framing you. It was that scheming and greedy Taoist priest who deceived me. Who told you to be born on a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour? Who wouldn't have suspected you at that time? Why are you targeting me?"

She was so angry and hateful that she wanted to tear Yang Yufei to pieces. This bitch dared to put down her in front of her father.

"Father, I was really worried about your life, so I was deceived by that abominable liar. At that time, even the imperial physician could not find out the reason for your coma. I was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments, so I believed the Taoist's words."

Li Qingyun's heart was about to jump out of her chest. She was really afraid that her father, in a rage, would drag her away and behead her.

The Queen also spoke up for her daughter, "Your Majesty, Qingyun has a hot temper and often can't control her emotions. I will definitely discipline her strictly when I return. But Qingyun's feelings for Your Majesty are absolutely true. She is too worried about Your Majesty, so she has lost her mind and composure."

"Qingyun, now the truth has been revealed. You have wronged Yang Yufei. Why don't you apologize to her quickly? A girl's reputation is the most important thing. Yufei did not murder the emperor. You can't frame her with false accusations."

Even though he wanted to tear Yang Yufei into pieces, Li Qingyun could only lower his proud head and apologize reluctantly.

"Today's incident was caused by my misunderstanding of you. I apologize to you here, Yang Yufei. Please don't take it to heart. I was also deceived by someone. It's not against you."

Yang Yufei wiped her tears with a handkerchief and showed an understanding smile.

"The misunderstanding has been resolved. I will not blame the princess. I hope that in the future, when I encounter unclear situations, the princess will not immediately accuse me. When the matter is investigated and it is my fault, I will accept whatever punishment the princess gives me."

These words were full of tea, and Li Qingyun felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. However, she had already angered her father before, and if she targeted Yang Yufei again, her father would probably completely dislike her.

She forced a smile and said, "You are right. This princess is too impulsive. I will analyze things carefully in the future. I will not blame others before I find out the truth like I do now."

"Yang Yufei, I hope you are not angry with me."
