After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was the actress who played the fox demon.

Her face was covered in blood and she looked disheveled. Her costume seemed to have been burned by fire and turned into tattered pieces.

The flickering lights create an eerie sense of beauty.

It turned out to be a play.

The guards, both openly and secretly, breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who have seen this play at the Xie Family Hall were secretly wondering: I’ve seen it before, and this scene was clearly not included?

Could it be that it was changed again later?

I have to say that the effect is better after the change, and it is more suspenseful.

I saw the actress propping herself up and half lying on the stage, her curves were graceful and beautiful.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he sang a rapid and loud verse.

Although he was singing so fast, every word was pronounced exceptionally clearly, and thanks to the special architectural structure of the place, every line of the lyrics was heard clearly by everyone.

At first, everyone thought that it was a continuation of the previous act, singing the story of a fox demon wielding a sword and escaping death in the underworld for the sake of his beloved.

The actress's look and singing style are consistent with the previous content.

Gradually, everyone realized that something was wrong.

She sang "The red lotus fire burns my body, and no one picks up my bones in the deserted village", which were all content that had not been included before.

Create something out of nothing.

Gradually, everyone's expressions changed.

Wasn't what she sang about the old story of the Cui family in Ningguo Mansion?

I thought the past had been lost in the dust, but I didn't expect to hear it in such a situation.

The audience sat up straight without realizing it, and listened attentively. While listening, they couldn't help but glance at Cui Yongwei.

Cui Yongwei's status is still a very important figure today when important officials and dignitaries gather here.

Among the three ministers, Xie Shu did not come. Only the younger generation of the Jiang family came, and Jiang Ce was the guest.

As one of the Nine Ministers, Cui Yongwei had a very good seat, located in the center of the first floor with the best view, and no obstructions in front of him.

He sat in the middle, straightened his back and forced himself not to lose his composure.

He was just an actor, a play deliberately arranged against him, trying to shake his mind?

I don't think about it!

He clenched his fists tightly.

I dare not move, for fear that any action will lead to misunderstanding.

I dare not call a stop, otherwise wouldn't I be guilty of it?

The singer did not specify the dynasty, even the dynasty was vague.

He only felt the gazes coming from behind him, as if they were real, placing him in a boiling oil pan, roasting him back and forth.

Everyone was very quiet because they were concentrating on listening to the opera.

But in Cui Yongwei's heart, the silence at this moment seemed like everyone was waiting to laugh at him.

In fact, people avoided looking away because they knew what the play was referring to.

The embarrassed person was Cui Yongwei, but those who served in the same court as him were equally embarrassed.

This kind of privacy within the Duke's Mansion has been exposed for so many years. Who cares whether Cui Yongwei was the illegitimate child who escaped from the fire that year?

But I didn't expect that the previous generation of the Duke was so cruel that he didn't even want his own bloodline and put the mother and son to death.

But now Duke Cui is not a good person either. He sent people to find the child, hiding the child from everyone and raising him as his nephew.

I have been raising it for so many years.

No wonder, Old Duke Cui didn't even care much about his two legitimate sons, and put all his efforts into supporting Cui Yongwei to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

It is said that they are mediocre in qualifications, but after the truth is revealed, one can't help but think more.

Is it really mediocrity or is it that his father is partial to him?

Is it because he can't let go of the anger he had with his father, or is it because he is still obsessed with that mistress?

These questions naturally linger in people's minds.

Except for Cui Yongwei, no other members of the Cui family were present tonight.

But it is conceivable that from tomorrow onwards, the Ningguo Mansion will be caught in the center of the vortex, and such secrets will become a new topic of conversation in the streets and alleys of the capital.

The actress on the waterside stage was still accusing herself, each word laced with tears and sobbing.

And none of the other people who were supposed to have come on stage were there.

If it were any other time, if there had been such a huge mistake, the people in the guild would have called a halt to the performance long ago, and it would have been impossible for the show to continue.

But not tonight.

The emperor hasn't spoken yet, so who dares to make decisions on their own?

Not only did the emperor not say anything, he was listening with great interest.

In fact, he didn't know about this past event. He just felt that the actor sang well and with flesh and blood. What really happened was more deeply rooted in people's hearts than what was fictional.

Qin Yaoguang said at the right time: "Emperor, is this Hua Dan possessed by a ghost? Judging from what she sang, she has been dead for more than 40 years."

When Chun Ning heard this, he grabbed her hand in fear.

The Fourth Prince had already closed his eyes and didn't dare to look anymore.

The emperor was in high spirits: "I knew it a long time ago."

There have always been various legends among the people about wronged spirits possessing people and filing complaints, and the Judge of Heaven judging the Yin and Yang at night and avenging ghosts. Some of these legends have even been compiled into short plays and passed down.

Now, the wronged souls are crying out for justice, doesn’t that prove that he is the great judge in heaven?

No, I am the emperor!

You can make the decision for her directly.

Looking at his expression, Qin Yaoguang could guess what he was thinking almost exactly.

There was no other reason. The emperor was simply a simple-minded person and his emotions were written all over his face.

Not to mention the transparency of the layer, it's at least 80 to 90 percent.

The emperor's sudden arrival had an unexpectedly good effect.

The stage fell silent, darkness enveloped it again, and no light was seen.

The water surface surged silently and the atmosphere was eerie.

The emperor was sitting upstairs, and the person concerned was sitting on the first floor, making people feel very uncomfortable.

No matter how they would talk about this later, at this moment, they wished they didn't exist.

"it is good!"

The emperor's cheers from the top floor broke the silence.

Cui Yongwei felt hopeless.

The emperor actually applauded, what does that mean?

The truth that he had worked so hard to hide was revealed to everyone in a way he had never imagined.

How can he continue to function in the court?

illegitimate child.

This shameful name will accompany him for the rest of his life.

Cui Yongwei's mind went blank, and the only thought in his mind was that he must not admit it.

"Go and bring her here," the emperor ordered.

"Yes!"

The emperor's order was immediately executed.

However, this cannot be implemented in this way.

It was obvious that this scene was deliberately designed by someone and it must not threaten the emperor's safety.

A team of imperial guards searched the stage from front to back and found that except for the female lead on the stage, the other twenty or thirty people were all unconscious.

The manager of the Xie Family Guild was so anxious that he was running around, not knowing what to do.

He had lingering fears.

The emperor wanted to see him, and fortunately he did not rush up to stop him.

"Save the person first."

One of the guards gave an order and led the actress along the corridor to the small building.

The emperor cleared his throat, his eyes filled with visible excitement.

He did not take care of state affairs, and had never judged a case.

Tonight, I can judge the wronged souls at night and have a great time!

Just think about it and look forward to it.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He will definitely be able to seek justice for the wronged souls." Qin Yaoguang flattered him lightly.

"Ok!"

Chun Ning nodded vigorously: "My brother is so powerful!"
