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

After returning to the palace, Yin Shandu collapsed on the couch. It seemed as if he had used up a year's worth of energy in just one day. He had never known that a ghost could have so many requests...

Palace maids and eunuchs streamed in outside the palace asking for instructions and reporting back. Even the New Year's Day was not so lively.

"Your Majesty, Master Pu requests to see you again!"

"Let him go."

"But Master Pu said this was his last time to ask for an audience. His business was already done, and he just came in to say hello."

"Let him in."

"Master, are you done with this?"

Tongfu secretly rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it has been arranged."

From the moment he entered Fengzhi Hall, His Majesty had been staring at him with a sarcastic look. Although he appeared serious on the surface, he must have been tortured badly by the Imperial Concubine in his heart.

But he is different. The queen has already promised him to accompany her next time she plays cards, hehehe...

After a whole day of hard work, seeing that the Taoist priest was still radiant and energetic, Yinshan Du couldn't help but wonder if this old man had secretly eaten something. Could it be that he could also make pills?

"The Taoist priest is quite strong. Although he looks old, he is still strong and healthy."

Taoist Priest Pu: It has started again, it has started again. I don’t know how many times this has happened to me. This time, I’m afraid I suspect he stole the elixir…

"Your Majesty, just now the Queen asked me when I could see the general. I didn't know how to answer, so I wanted to ask your Majesty what you think, whether..."

Master Pu paused at the right moment and looked towards Yinshan Ferry with inquiring eyes.

Yinshan Du was staring at him with stern eyes: "Master, why did you stop me at the hunting ground a month ago? What was your intention?"

Yes, the ordinary Taoist priest suddenly appeared in the hunting ground. He entered and exited the imperial guards as if he were in an empty space, defeated his personal guards as if he were taking something out of a bag, and even easily captured the imperial tiger in front of Yinshan Du himself.

But he did not do much. He just handed him a note which read: "The king is doomed to die. The country's disaster has begun" and then left.

He appeared in the hunting ground again ten days ago. When the guard came to report, he was holding the note in a daze.

It’s not that Dayin didn’t have the Imperial Observatory. On the contrary, the number of people in Dayin’s Imperial Observatory reached more than sixty at its peak. But the current leaders of the Imperial Observatory have been beheaded, and the rest have been imprisoned and have not been released since.

It is undeniable that the Taoist priest has some magical powers. The most powerful Wei Zheng back then was no more than that. So the great disaster he was talking about...

Finally, Yinshandu decided to take a gamble and summoned him.

But today, what he saw and heard at Yinshan Ferry made him suspicious of this uninvited Taoist priest. Perhaps preventing the destruction of the country was not his real purpose. What he really wanted was to release Xuzhou Jiao.

Tong Tong knew that the emperor was suspicious, especially since what happened today was extraordinary, so he decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, although I have concealed something, it is a fact that Dayin is no longer favored by heaven. Floods, droughts, plagues, and sky fires are just the beginning of heaven's expression of dissatisfaction."

"What the Taoist priest said is that the heaven wants to destroy me, the Great Hermit? What does that have to do with Xuzhou Jiao?"

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the Empress. It is related to Your Majesty and the Empress."

When he heard that it was related to the deceased queen, Yinshan Du seemed to have thought of something. He stood up and pulled Master Pu to open the bookshelf. Behind the bookshelf was a secret room.

The walls of the secret room were covered with Sanskrit, and various talismans were hung on red lines. Golden bells were hung at the four corners of the secret room, and in the middle was a golden nanmu coffin with gold edges. The tablet written on it was Hu Changqing's title - Empress Deyi.

It turns out that the queen's coffin was not in the imperial mausoleum, but in Fengzhi Hall.

But the coffin is empty.

Yinshandu gently stroked the coffin and took the initiative to speak: "I think with the Taoist's magical powers, you should be able to find that this coffin is empty."

"Since this place is empty, what about the one in the imperial mausoleum?"

“What’s in the imperial mausoleum is real.”

Master Pu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil: Are you loyal or not? If you want to keep the truth, I can understand, but if you keep nothing, is it really like what the queen said, that the queen was poisoned to death, and her death was too ugly?

"Master, do you want to ask why this is empty?"

Ordinary Taoist Priest: No, I don’t want to.

"Because the person in the imperial mausoleum is not the queen."

"Three years ago, the queen was poisoned to death. I was extremely sad and kept watch over her body day and night, not wanting to be separated from her. But on the seventh day, the queen's face and figure had completely changed. She had become someone I had never seen before. I thought someone had stolen the queen's body, but everyone told me that this was the queen. But she was clearly not the queen I had been with."

Master Pu: "Your Majesty means that in everyone's eyes she is the queen, but she is not the queen you remember."

For three whole years, he read various ancient books but could not find a single word. Everything that had happened came into his eyes one by one. No one could understand him and they just thought he was suffering from delusions because of losing the queen.

Yinshandu finally found a soulmate: "Yes, yes, that's right. During that period of time, everyone thought I was crazy, but I was very clear-headed. Taoist priest, do you think it is possible that the queen is not dead. She is just, just..."

Yinshan Du didn’t know how to express such an incredible thing before, but today he encountered something even more incredible. Even though Master Pu had told him in advance, he was still shocked beyond words when he saw it with his own eyes.

Master Pu took out his magic weapon from his cloth bag, sat on the ground, and kept practicing with his hands.

"Your Majesty, what you saw was the Queen. As for why what you saw was different from others, only the late Queen knows. From the perspective of magic, there is a technique called "one leaf covering the eyes", and from the perspective of poison, there are too many. However, all these will be automatically resolved when the person who casts the spell dies, but from the look on your Majesty's face now, this technique has not been eliminated."

Taoist Pu continued to calculate with his hand, and pulled Yinshandu's hand over and pressed it directly on his own magic weapon.

When the magic weapon appeared, a few wisps of red mist began to appear. Slowly, the mist grew thicker and redder. The bells in the secret room began to ring automatically without wind. Ding-ling-ling~ A figure slowly appeared in the red mist.

Yinshandu watched all this with joy. Is Chang Qing back? Chang Qing, Chang Qing, is that you?

"Your Majesty, please do not lose your mind." Master Pu bit his finger and put a drop of blood on his forehead.

Yinshan Du felt that his excitement suddenly calmed down. He stared at the woman in the red mist. She was not his Chang Qing, but the dead woman.

Every frame in the red mist was a picture of his past with Chang Qing, without any difference, but her appearance was not the same as he remembered...

From their meeting, to their marriage, to her death in his arms, he was not the person she remembered.

Yin Shandu looked at Master Pu in confusion, and pointed his trembling finger at the woman: "Who is she, and why is she with me?"

Taoist Pu retracted his magical power, and the secret room returned to its original state: "Your Majesty, she is your queen, Hu Changqing."

"No, that's impossible. Chang Qing is definitely not like this. She definitely doesn't look like this!"

Yinshan Du directly overturned the altar, stared at Tongfan, and pointed at him with a trembling finger.

"You are a liar, you must be a liar, you dare to deceive the emperor, tell me, is it Xuzhou Chuang who asked you to come, no, that's not right, it was Xuzhou He, it must be Xuzhou He, he came to save his father... Yes, everything today is fake... Xuzhou Jiao died a long time ago... She died a long time ago, everything is an illusion, you are all in cahoots."

Yinshan Du grabbed his collar tightly, trying to see through it all. His eyes were red, his hair was messy, and he kept muttering: He didn't believe it.

He didn't believe a word of it.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to know my real purpose? This is the real reason why I came here."
