It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Su Wanti glared at him with cold eyes and an indifferent attitude, and she didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

At this time, Shang Xingjian stood up and walked forward, waved to the guards disguised as servants. Several guards immediately tied up Lu Tian's family, the housekeeper and others, and dragged them out.

Shang Xingjian didn't say anything else. He hugged Su Wanti's shoulders and left.

At this time, the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was in chaos.

The secret from thirty years ago was spoken out by the instigator himself, and the truth about the disappearance of the son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was finally revealed to the world.

There were many guests present, and after leaving the Marquis' Mansion, what happened today spread like the wind to every corner of the capital.

Emperor Ning was furious and sent an oral order to the Dali Temple, ordering Lu Tian and others to be severely tortured and to find out what happened and the whereabouts of the son of Marquis Zhongyong.

The brazier in the Dali Temple interrogation room burned all night long, and wailing sounds continued.

After one night, all the questions were answered.

Unfortunately, many years have passed and the servant who was bribed by Lu Tian has long since turned into bones. The nanny who stole the gold lock from Madam An four years ago has also died, leaving no witness.

People from the Dali Temple dug out a small package from under the floor tiles of Lu Tian’s study, which contained some old children’s ornaments.

These are the ornaments of the son of the loyal and brave marquis that Lu Tian took back from the pawnshop thirty years ago and can be used as physical evidence.

Decades have passed and these ornaments are no longer complete. Lu Tian used to keep them in a secret compartment in his study. A few years ago, a thief broke into the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and stole several of the gold ornaments.

Except for a small gold lock, the other lost gold jewelry never appeared again.

Lu Tian not only truthfully confessed the disappearance of the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but also revealed the reason why he wanted to murder the Princess of Huide County.

The fact that he caused his nephew to get lost was somehow known to Concubine Li, who used it as a threat to force him to devise a plan to get rid of the county lord.

This case involved a concubine in the palace, and the mother of Prince Ping. The Dali Temple did not dare to make a decision on its own. The Dali Temple Minister had to prepare Lu Tian's confession and bring him to the emperor.

Emperor Ning's face was gloomy, and he immediately summoned Concubine Li to the Qinzheng Palace.

When Concubine Li arrived, she burst into tears and cried miserably. She kept shouting that she was wronged, and even hinted at Prince Rui in her words, saying that he bribed Lu Tian with the intention of framing her.

There is insufficient evidence to prove this fact. There is only Lu Tian's confession, no written evidence, and no witnesses.

Concubine Li looked sad, "Your Majesty, are you going to punish me for a trumped-up crime? If I am convicted, how will King Ping deal with himself in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ning's brows were filled with anger.

He valued Prince Rui the most, but he was also very kind to other princes.

They are all his children, and he doesn't want any of them to be implicated or hurt for no reason.

Seeing that Emperor Ning was hesitant, Concubine Li retreated to advance, and said sadly: "If Your Majesty suspects me, I can ask to be imprisoned and suffer 72 punishments in prison to prove my innocence."

How could a concubine be thrown into prison and punished severely without solid evidence?

Emperor Ning naturally refused.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it. Just stay under house arrest in Hibiscus Palace. If this case really has nothing to do with you, I will definitely clear your name."

Concubine Li wiped her tears gently, hiding the dark light in her eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. I am grateful."

Concubine Li returned to Furong Palace and only kept a few palace maids to serve her, and dismissed the rest.

The door of Furong Palace was tightly closed. Two guards with swords stood at the door with stern faces. No one was allowed to approach.

The palace, which was cool and bright in the past, suddenly became stuffy and dark.

Concubine Li walked into the bedroom with a cold face. She put on her shoes, stepped onto the bed, touched the mechanism hidden behind the bed curtain, and pulled it down with force.

The bed frame shook with a "clatter", dust flew down, and a dark secret room appeared behind the bed curtain.

The maid that Concubine Li trusted hurried forward to hold her back, "Your Majesty, things haven't gotten this bad yet. Let's wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turn for the better."

"Hmph, there has been no improvement since the day Prince Rui returned to the capital." Concubine Li was not wearing any makeup, and her beautiful and bright face was gone. At this moment, her skin was old and her eyes were sinister.

The maid hesitated, "But if you use the secret technique, your life may not be saved."

Concubine Li looked sad. "From the day I entered the palace, I have been a walking corpse. If I didn't want revenge, how could I have survived until now?"

"Da Ning saw the rich mineral resources in Cangshui. Relying on its strong national strength and powerful army, it directly sent a declaration of war and sent troops to attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers burned, killed, looted, slaughtered our people, and flattened our land."

"They killed my father and mother, and kidnapped all of us noble ladies to be slaves in the palace, and humiliated us at will."

The palace maid was a descendant of the noble lady who was abducted into the palace at that time, and she shed tears silently.

After a few breaths, he raised his eyes and said, "But, but His Majesty still loves the Queen very much..."

The hatred in Concubine Li's eyes did not diminish. "He is the son of my enemy, and he carries original sin."

She wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were clear and cold, "I just want King Ping to restore the name of Cangshui and return the land to Cangshui after he succeeds to the throne."

"King Ping is his biological son, so I don't think I'm being unfair to him."

The maid said again: "Maybe we can just control the emperor and ignore the Huide County Lady?"

Concubine Li's eyes were dark. "She can see through my spells, so she must be a magician. We can't keep her."

"Moreover, I suspect that she is the descendant of the son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis."

The maid's eyes lit up. "Aren't we looking for the descendants of the Loyal and Brave Marquis? Then control her or send someone to capture her?"

Marquis Zhongyong holds military power. If you want to control Daning, you must first control Marquis Zhongyong.

Concubine Li knew that his only beloved son had gone missing many years ago, so she sent people to look for him. She planned to find the son of Marquis Zhongyong and use his son as a lure to make him join the team supporting King Ping.

The people sent out searched privately and finally found a middle-aged man who was suspected to be the son of Marquis Zhongyong in a mountain village in a county town in Luzhou.

But no one knows what the person sent out did. The man actually turned over and jumped off the cliff and was never found again.

Concubine Li ordered people to find the man's family, but unexpectedly, the man's family was involved with Prince Rui.

Concubine Li clenched her fists and said, "If she were an ordinary woman, I would poison her and make her obey my orders. But she is not an ordinary woman. She has medical skills and knows secret techniques. Now that she is with Prince Rui, she will become an obstacle to me. I cannot let her live."

After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and resolutely entered the secret room.

The door to the secret room closed and the lights came on.

The secret room was the size of six beds, with an altar in the center and many ritual implements placed on it. Nine mummies were hung on the walls with iron chains.

The nine mummies had their eyes wide open, their fingers bent, and their shapes horrifying.

Concubine Li's magic uses the powerful resentment of these nine mummies.

And her hair, nails, and flesh.

Concubine Li picked up a sharp knife and cut her wrist to let the blood flow.

First she poured a bowl of blood, and then placed the blood on the altar. She sat upright on the cushion, closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and silently chanted a spell.

The lights flickered, and the nine mummies let out mournful cries.

The blood on the altar kept shaking and suddenly turned black. A thick black evil energy rose from the blood and condensed into a blood bead emitting black gas.

Concubine Li pasted the talisman paper with Su Wanti's birth date on it onto the blood bead. In an instant, the talisman paper caught fire and the ashes were absorbed by the blood bead.

Then, the blood drop whooshed into the gap and disappeared.

A wisp of black gas rose from Furong Palace and quickly floated towards Prince Rui's Palace.

Concubine Li was exhausted and fell to the ground gasping for breath.

After her strength was restored a little, she stood up, cut her other wrist with the sharp blade, and poured another bowl of blood onto the altar.

The purpose of this spell is to catalyze the zombie poison that Emperor Ning was infected with, turning Emperor Ning into a zombie who would only obey his own orders.
