System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

Early the next morning, Xuzhou Jiao was pulled out of her bed while she was sleeping: "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, don't sleep anymore."

Xu Zhoujiao blinked her long eyelashes which were stained with tears and yawned delicately. "It's so hard to be a human. It's better to be a ghost. I can sleep as long as I want."

She rubbed her eyes, stretched her body, and was extremely lazy: "Yinshandu, do I have to get up so early?"

"Jiaojiao, it's almost dawn, I'm worried about leaving you here before going to court."

It was already midnight when we returned from the imperial mausoleum yesterday, and we were about to go our separate ways and return to our own rooms.

Yinshandu disagreed.

He had all her belongings moved to the Qinzheng Hall, and not only that, he also moved his own things there.

He said he was worried about her living alone.

He said that no one could see her except the two of them now, so his presence would be helpful in providing cover.

He said that he didn't dare go back to Fengzhi Hall because Hu Changqing's coffin was there, and he was afraid of having a seizure.

Finally, in order to prevent him from going crazy, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs kept making noises for an hour or so in the middle of the night.

"Yinshandu, aren't you sleepy? Can't we go after we wake up?"

For Xuzhou Jiao's safety, Yinshandu dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs and arranged the dragon robe himself.

When he heard that she could sleep as long as she wanted, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Silly Jiaojiao, if the emperor doesn't attend court early in the morning, wouldn't he be a tyrant? Since you are the emperor, you should restrain yourself and be punctual, and put the government and the people first in everything. I'm used to it."

"I didn't expect you to work so hard. I used to think you were only good at romance and doing nothing but hugging Hu Changqing all day."

"Where did Jiaojiao hear those rumors? Even in the past, I never neglected government affairs. At that time, Hu Changqing was the queen and had to set an example. She didn't dare to stay in Lizheng Palace for a moment."

"Come on, raise your hands,"

Yinshan Ferry, after getting dressed, he put on a brocade dress that could block the Yin Qi for Xuzhou Jiao: "I have spent all of Taoist Pu's belongings on you."

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the considerate Yinshan Du in front of her, and it seemed as if she was back to the first time she saw him.

From the time she entered the palace to the time she was given poisoned wine, Yinshandu never looked at her straight in the eye. Instead, as if she had become a ghost, his attitude changed 18 degrees. Was it because he saw Hu Changqing's true face? Did he feel sorry for her?

"Yinshandu, why are you different?"

She became gentle and delicate, her eyes became bright and charming, she became so warm, and she would call herself "Jiaojiao" in a soft voice, without the harsh tone of before.

Yin Shandu looked at her firmly: "Because you are Jiaojiao's sister."

That little, soft, delicate sister. My favorite delicate sister.

early morning.

In front of the Lizheng Palace, the imperial guards shouted: "The time for the morning court session has arrived, all the ministers, please enter the palace immediately!"

The ministers entered from the side door like a swarm of fish, stood in their respective positions, holding their tablets in front of their chests.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Xuzhou Jiao followed Yinshandu and entered through the main gate.

She looked around. Standing at the front on the left were the Grand Tutor and Yinshandu's uncle - Yinshan Gu. Standing at the front on the right were the brothers from Yinshandu. Everyone was standing in their positions in an orderly manner.

There was only one person, with no one in front, behind, or around him.

The man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but also as if he had not seen him before. He looked to be in his forties, with a square face and wearing a Taoist robe.

He is also a Taoist priest.

Xu Zhoujiao slowly approached him, her small nose twitching slightly: This person has his own ghostly aura.

An ordinary Taoist priest? No way?

Can this guy also perform the magic of rejuvenation?

The ordinary Taoist priest looked at the little girl who was covering her mouth beside him with a slightly slanted gaze: Hey, you must be scared.

"Wow, ordinary, can you also paint skin?"

"Is it a beauty-preserving technique?"

"You look so young without shaving your beard. Where's your gray hair?"

"Hey, why aren't you talking? Can't you hear me?"

Xuzhou Jiao put her mouth close to the ear of the ordinary Taoist priest and shouted at the top of her voice: "Can you hear me?"

The deafening roar was like countless sharp needles piercing his eardrums, making his eyes see stars and his ear bones ache.

Tong Pu quickly covered his ears and rubbed them hard: "Auntie, I just can't speak, not I can't hear!"

In the entire hall, I am the only one standing here in the middle of nowhere. If I answer you, it would be no different from talking to myself.

Yinshan Du, who was sitting on the dragon chair, almost laughed out loud when he looked at the two of them. He coughed lightly a few times to attract Xuzhou Jiao's attention, and gently pinched the red ball on his wrist.

A sincere ball.

Xu Zhoujiao finally realized that because she was a ghost, although the two of them could see her and hear her speak, they could only do so in private.

If she were outside, she would just talk to herself. To facilitate communication, she gave Yinshan Du a sincerity ball.

As the name suggests, the Sincerity Ball can hear the inner thoughts of the person it carries, and it is absolutely authentic.

At first, Taishang Laojun wanted to study the sincerity pill, but failed, and it turned into an inedible sincerity ball. Taishang Laojun gave it to Erlang Shen to interrogate the prisoners, but he accidentally heard Xiaotian Dog complaining about him: he never washes his feet when he gets home, he smacks his lips when he eats, he can't be fed enough dog food, and he steals the peaches from the Queen Mother...

I don't know how it ended up in the hands of Lei Gong. When Lei Gong used it as a bet, he even gave it a slogan:

Just pinch it and you will know what is in your heart. Just put it on the top of your head and you will be able to solve cases like a god!

She quickly took out another sincerity ball and stuffed it into Puchang, motioning him to put it on: "Master Pu, you can speak without worry this time. By the way, he also has one in Yinshan Ferry. As a group, no one can tell lies in the future~"

Just pinch before you speak.

Okay, this time it’s just a group chat.

"What happened to your hair? Did you dye it?"

"Wig. Yesterday's lightning hit my hair and beard and burned them to ashes. So I just shaved them off. How is it? Doesn't it make me look younger?"

Just as she was whispering with Pu Tong, Yin Shan Du called out her name directly: "Master Pu, what do you think of the problem that Jing Zhaofu just mentioned?"

Problem? What problem? —Pinch it normally

Jingzhao Prefecture said that the imperial mausoleum was struck by lightning yesterday, and the roof of the main chamber was pierced. How should we deal with it?

If you chop it, then chop it. Whoever has the ability to chop it will be the one to blame. - Xuzhou Jiaoniang

"In reply to your Majesty, I think whoever did the slashing should be held responsible."

Xuzhou Jiao was shocked. How dare you say such words? Pinch it, just take care of your heart, not your mouth!

"Oh? What do you mean, Taoist priest?"

"Your Majesty, the main room was struck by lightning. It was the Thunder God - Thunder God. Why don't we hold a ceremony to ask Thunder God for the reason and find a way to deal with it?"

"Ridiculous! Why mobilize so many troops just because of a lightning strike? In my hermitage, such incidents happen several times every year. Do we need to ask gods for help for every incident?"

The speaker was the captain of the Taifu team—Taifu Hu's son-in-law, Cheng Jinyun.

"Minister Cheng is wrong. How can ordinary people be compared with the Empress? The Empress was virtuous and kind during her lifetime. She was a role model for women all over the world. I think this matter should not be treated abruptly."

Xu Zhoujiao exchanged glances with Pugong and said, "You did a great job, so I won't repair the roof for her."

If you can invite the God of Thunder down, I lose.

"Your Majesty, although Chang Qing is the queen, she has always followed the ancestral teachings and walked with the people. It is indeed too laborious to invite the gods. I am afraid Chang Qing will not like it. It is better to just rest like an ordinary citizen."

I don’t know if it was because he didn’t sleep well last night because he knew that his precious daughter was struck by lightning, but Master Hu’s face was as pale as paper, his eyes were sunken, and the deep dark circles under his eyes showed that he was exhausted.

Such a haggard look is hard to bear, but who are we? We are Hu Changqing’s mortal enemy.

"This matter has been handled by the Thunder God. If we start building it directly, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the gods. Everything has a reason. I think what Taoist Pu said makes sense. We must know where the problem lies in order to better solve it."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Pu Tong knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, putting on a full posture.

"This is all what the Grand Tutor taught me." Yinshan Du waved his hands humbly.

Poison, or you are poisonous——Xuzhou Jiao, ordinary pinch

Upon hearing this, Master Hu staggered and was supported by Yinshan Gu: "Master, please take care of yourself. After all, the Queen needs to stay in the sun for a few more days."

Master Hu's blood boiled, his eyes sparkled, and his voice was filled with compassion: "Your Majesty, that is Chang Qing, your queen. She has been kind-hearted and talented since she was young. You know her well. How can you leave her coffin exposed in broad daylight? Your Majesty, the sun is scorching."

Playing the emotional card, will His Majesty go crazy again? - Ordinary pinch

Haha, if he dares to go crazy in public, I will slap him in public - Xuzhou Jiao pinched

Yin Shandu, who was initially confused, suddenly came to his senses when he heard her eerie tone: "Master, although you and I both know what kind of person Chang Qing is."

"But a country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. After all, she is the queen of a country. This matter is no longer a family matter, but a state matter. If it is a state matter, then we should burn incense and kowtow to pray to the Thunder God."

"I believe Chang Qing will understand us. After all, the fate of the country is more important than that of an individual. We cannot afford to be careless!"

"Master Pu, I order you to find an auspicious day to perform a ritual for the queen and invite the gods to come to the world!"

"The minister accepts the order."

Tutor Hu's body, which had been holding on strong, could no longer hold on and he fainted on the ground. Yinshandu ordered the chief eunuch to help him down and summon the imperial physician to see him.

Since ancient times, no matter who was struck by lightning, the most common conclusion was: Did they do something bad? Those struck by thunder were all bad people.

Now that this has happened to Hu Changqing, no matter how famous and well-known she was when she was alive, she could not withstand the malicious speculations of the people around her.

When the Grand Tutor's followers saw that the Yinshan crossing was a decision, they also carried the Grand Tutor away. They all fell silent.

Everyone was afraid that Queen Hu was punished by the Thunder God because she had done something dirty in her life.

At a time like this, who would be willing to take the risk?

In the end, Hu Changqing only got a roll of straw mat to cover his coffin.
