Lu Lingchuan fell into silence when he mentioned what happened to Concubine Yang in the past.

The unjust death of Concubine Yang was related to the dignity of the Queen Mother. Moreover, both the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are now dead. If they continue to entangle with each other, I am afraid that the Lu family of the Xihe Dynasty will not be able to leave their name in the history books.

Seeing that the emperor had a gloomy look on his face, he kept silent when mentioning the Queen Mother, as if he had a lot to hide.

Shen Feng took a step forward and knelt in front of his knees in accordance with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

He added, "Your Majesty, please don't miss the Queen Mother. You should put the safety of the dragon's body first in the world! Your Majesty is in good health, which can also comfort the Queen Mother's spirit in heaven."

"This is considered filial piety!"

"Secondly, Concubine Yang is innocent, and His Majesty's rectification of her name is also to rectify the laws and regulations. In this way, it is reasonable!"

"And the demon star has done many evil things, so he should be killed and his sins exposed to the world!"

"In this way, it can be regarded as a righteous punishment!"

Shen Feng talked eloquently and clearly explained the relationship between emotion, reason and law to Lu Lingchuan.

"Master, I don't want to protect my mother. It's just that my father sent people to look for Concubine Yang's bones back then. After a lot of effort, there was no clue at all."

After Lu Lingchuan finished speaking, he pinched his forehead.

He still remembered that time, because of this matter, his father stumbled into his mother's bedroom, and there was a verbal confrontation between the two.

After the late emperor was furious, he pointed at the queen and roared,

"If it weren't for Ling'er's sake, I would have to destroy you today!"

And the queen mother hugged the young man, not afraid of the emperor's wrath, and replied, "That bitch poisoned the emperor, he deserves to die!"

It is hard to look back on the past. In Lu Lingchuan's memory, the father, the emperor, and the empress were once a loving couple. However, after this incident, a rift gradually developed and they became farther and farther apart.

Lu Lingchuan indulged in the past, and his eyes became darker and darker.

Shen Lin took a step forward and bowed his hand slightly to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, when I returned to Beijing this time, I took the time yesterday to read the records of the historians on the incident of Concubine Yang in the past. I also visited Da Zongzheng and learned some secrets from his mouth."

Shen Lin slowly told some of the clues he had examined in the past two or three days.

At that time, Qin Tianjian was bribed by the queen to report to the late emperor that Concubine Yang was transformed by a monster. In order to block Youyou's mouth, the late emperor gave Concubine Yang poisonous wine in desperation.

After her death, her body could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

In order to avoid disaster, the Yang clan members did not dare to come forward to collect her bones.

Later Zongzheng recalled that Concubine Yang's bones seemed to have been rolled up in a mat by the palace eunuchs and thrown into a mass grave in the western suburbs of the capital.

After hearing what Shen Lin said, Shen Feng sighed, "There are countless unknown corpses in the mass graves. How can we still look for them after so many years have passed?"

This poor generation of beauties was reduced to a pile of withered bones.

Shen Feng said, "Besides, it's desolate there, and there should be a lot of wild beasts gathered there. After so many years, even if there were marks on her bones, there might be no bones left in her mouth."

Lu Lingchuan pondered for a moment, "I don't think there are any clues. The great monk Xiuyuan said that the demon star was born out of resentment, but will this resentment come out of thin air?"

"It must be the work of those with ulterior motives!"

Lu Lingchuan said sternly, "According to my decree, the torture of the Yang clan members in the sky prison will be intensified."

"I will again order Xia Huaibei to search for capable people in the world and discuss strategies to capture the demon star!"

"Advertise to the world again, and those who provide clues to the whereabouts of the Great Monk Xiu Yuan and the remains of Concubine Yang will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to an official or noble title!"

Lu Lingchuan processed everything in front of him, held up his face, closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing that the emperor was now regaining his former majesty and composure, Shen Feng nodded slightly with satisfaction.

At this time, Wang Dafu entered the flower hall of Shen Mansion. He bowed his body and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has sent over newly cooked dishes. Please taste them with your Majesty and Princess Zhaoyang."

After hearing this, Lu Lingchuan opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Then please invite the princess to come over and try the dishes together."

He asked again, "Alin, is there any good wine in the house?"

"Your Majesty, my father has treasured Fenjiu from Shanxi. He seems to be hiding it in the backyard. I'm going to get it right now!"

Shen Qingfei walked out quickly, "Sister should have woken up from her nap at this time. I will go to Yilu Zhai to invite her with me!"

"Why are you still taking a nap? But you know it's almost midnight."

Lu Lingchuan asked, his eyes filled with adoration.

He knew that Shen Yao loved to steal a half-day of leisure these days. In ordinary days, he would eat and sleep as much as he wanted.

"This lazy sister, after packing her bags for a while, she slept from noon until now."

"Chun Nong just called her up to eat ice cream cheese, but she didn't seem to respond."

Before Shen Lin finished speaking, Lu Lingchuan's eyes darkened, and he saw him running towards the graceful Yiluzhai without looking back.

Shen Feng's heart thumped, and he had a bad premonition. Last time, my daughter was also trapped by the demon star silently in her dream.

Today, everyone was talking loudly in the flower hall of Shen Mansion about Concubine Yang and him, which would inevitably anger the moody demon star.

Thinking of this, Shen Feng shouted "No!" and quickly went to his daughter's boudoir.

The two Shen brothers quickly followed their father's footsteps and ran towards the backyard.

Through the shade of the late summer evening, Lu Lingchuan ran anxiously. On this short corridor, he spent seconds like years.

Everything in Yiluzhai is pure and pure. He rushed in and brought down the flower stand with orchids in the small hall.

Seeing the emperor rushing in anxiously, Chun Nong was startled, stopped the needlework in her hand, knelt down and saluted.

Lu Lingchuan flashed before her eyes and had already gone to bed, opening the curtain of the young lady's embroidered bed.

The flower stand fell to the ground and the porcelain basin fell to pieces, but even such a loud noise did not disturb the people on the embroidery bed.

Shen Yao was lying on the couch, her brows furrowed, her temples wet with sweat.

Lu Lingchuan was so anxious that his heart was beating like a drum. He held her in his arms and kept calling her against her earlobe.

"Yao'er, Yao'er!"

"Wake up!"

He shook her body and called her loudly, but got no response.

The scenes where he brought her out in the dream flashed through Lu Lingchuan's mind like lightning. He quickly bit his middle finger and smeared the blood between her eyebrows.

"Yao'er, brother Lingchuan is here, your father and brother are also here. You must not sleep anymore."

Seeing Shen Yao's face in pain, struggling between half asleep and half awake. Lu Lingchuan simply kept squeezing his middle finger and smearing blood on his slim brow bone again.

He was ill and sought medical treatment urgently. He put his broken finger into her mouth, thinking that maybe if she drank his blood, she would be able to resist the invasion of the demon star.

The person in his arms, lingering in pain, finally slowly opened his eyes.

When Shen Yao saw it was him, her eyes were as clear as water, and she burst into tears for a moment.

She begged, "Your Majesty! Please save our child!"

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

He raised his voice and ordered, "Chun Nong, go get some tea for the princess!"
