My wife kills me because she has me in her heart!

The death of the old emperor was completely covered up.

It's still the same three days of fishing and two days of posting online and going to court. Everyone has become accustomed to it, coming in late and leaving early to suit their mood.

Listening to the message delivered by Ren Yi, Yan Conling was stunned for a moment, "Empress Wu made a fake emperor?"

"Yes." Ren Yi treated her with a respectful attitude, "The informants placed in the palace have confirmed that the Holy Emperor was indeed killed by Empress Wu. I don't know what kind of magic was used, but that thing can have the same heartbeat and temperature as a living person. .”

The fake ones were so fake that even the concubines in the harem couldn't recognize them.

"Puppetry..."

Almost immediately, Yan Conngling thought of this.

Memories came flooding back, of that day's scorching heat, stupor, and rotting flesh. She vaguely heard the sound of bones rubbing against each other as the huge black shadow moved around...

What does the next one look like?

She tried hard to remember, trying to piece together the fragments. However, it was always shrouded in gray, and the black image was like water ripples, spreading out in all directions with a light touch.

The girl's sudden pale complexion startled Ren Yiyi.

"girl?"

"I'm fine." Yan Conngling shook his head, "I just thought of something... By the way, what did the prince say?"

Ning Fengli was more comfortable with palace matters.

Ren Yi whispered, "The prince said not to alarm the enemy for the time being. All the palace people present that day, except for the old nun who was close to Empress Wu, all died in accidents one after another."

"The arranged spy was not present at the time. He only saw his back from a distance and said he looked like a tall man wrapped in a black robe."

After Empress Wu was plotted to commit regicide, she was put under a safety lock. Suffering such a heavy blow, you can recover for a while, but the other one...

Tall man in black robe.

This is too broad a description and is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We can only wait for new clues.

As soon as Renyi left with her front legs, someone rushed into her yard in a panic.

"Miss Yan! The Crown Princess is giving birth!"

Recognizing that this was a servant from the East Palace, Yan Conling subconsciously said, "Congratulations..."

But the expressions of these people didn't look like they were here to congratulate them, "Miss Yan, our Crown Princess has said that she wants to invite you over!"

Ganqing hasn't been born yet.

Recalling Zhou Ningzhu's previous caution against her, Yan Cong's vigilance was on the verge of being triggered, "I don't understand medicine and have never given birth to a child. I'm afraid I won't be able to help the empress if I go."

What kind of stable mother-in-law does the dignified princess want? How can she be used?

The pregnant woman was emotionally unstable and wanted to dig a hole for her because she was not allowed to have an attack at this moment.

"Miss Yan."

A maid suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, and Yan Conngling recognized her as the one who had been with Zhou Ningzhu that day. Most likely, she was the confidant she had served since childhood.

Boom. Her eyes were red, and as soon as she came up, she took Yan Conling's hand and knelt down heavily on the ground.

"What is this doing?"

Yan Conling took a step back, not used to this kind of groveling from others.

But the maid seemed to be grasping at some life-saving straw. She was so strong that she couldn't break free for a while, "Please, girl, please save our young lady!"

After Zhou Ningyu married into the East Palace, she had always been cautious about her words and deeds. This could be seen from her dress that day.

But now the maid was so anxious that she didn't even care about calling her. She just clutched the hem of her clothes and was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

"The Crown Princess's belly has been unable to give birth since midnight last night!"

Looking down, you can see the girl's slightly sharp eyes. She seemed to frown, "Where's the peace charm I gave to your empress last time?"

"Peace Talisman..."

The maid trembled violently, and her teeth made a soft sound, "That day, the empress's clothes were torn by a branch, so she took them off and sent them to be washed and mended..." "Then the safety talisman sachet was hidden in the clothes. , thrown away together!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Conling quickly got into the carriage and shouted, "Send me back!"

By the time they arrived at the house, the courtyard was already filled with water. The spring cold was steep, and there was a row of imperial doctors standing in front of the hanging curtain. Each one had a grayer beard than the other, and they all looked sad.

"I've met the Queen."

As long as the mask is not broken, you still have to keep pretending.

"You're here." Twisting the string of beads in her hand, Empress Wu still looked kind and kind, "Oh, Zhu'er's pregnancy is not going well. Please go in and have a look."

Yan Conling was not in a hurry to go in. She met Empress Wu's eyes as she walked along the corridor in the bright and almost dazzling sunlight.

Just for a moment, it fell down again.

"My subordinates are worried about the bloodline of the Tian family, so I took it upon myself to show it to the Crown Princess in secret. The pregnancy is stable, so it shouldn't be too difficult. The reason why it is so dangerous now is probably because of the family members. Something evil is at work."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was panicked.

As a demon hunter, no one doubted her words.

Some people even pushed her forward nervously, "Miss Yan, stop standing here. Since the Crown Princess is no longer well, go and find out the evil spirit."

In the commotion, Queen Wu's hand holding the string of beads seemed to pause.

This is the duty of a demon hunter, and it is reasonable. 'Empress Wu', who has a general sense of kindness, should be the first to support.

It's just that at this moment, she really can't say anything about this kind of kindness...

As the sun sets, the rays of rays shine through the corners of the eaves. The shadows of the trees are mottled, and it seems that you can hear the sound of the roots growing deep underground.

Queen Wu's hand holding the bead string was released, and the girl's sharp command sounded out——

"Please find me a sharp axe."

"Cong Ling." Empress Wu suddenly approached. She only had an elegant plain hairpin on her temples, which highlighted the gentleness and concern in her eyebrows.

"Today a child is born, and those who beat him or her will destroy the blessing."

The words are soft and irresistible.

But the girl chuckled lightly and took the heavy axe, "The Queen is worrying too much. How can there be any blessings from evil spirits? If you don't get rid of them, you will only block the way of blessings."

Empress Wu clutched the string of beads tightly, her eyes cold.

When that familiar cold light passed by her side, she was even more frightened and could hardly maintain her mask. Even if it's just an axe, it still carries the sharpness and murderous intent of a sword.

The pain that penetrated her heart seemed to hit her again. The girl's fair and beautiful face was shrouded in the afterglow, which coincided with her previous life.

Click.

Before she could come to her senses, a painful scream came out along with a crisp cracking sound——

What Yan Conngling chopped down was clearly a tree. But at this moment, what came out was a human voice.

Everyone was horrified.

When did there be such a towering tree here?

Thick green juice kept pouring out from the broken mouth, like blood. The girl didn't blink, and pushed forward with force under her palm.

Click.

The moment the tree lay down, red blood splashed out, and it truly turned into a human corpse...

The head rolled down with a grunt.

He didn't stop until he was at Queen Wu's feet.
