Chapter 193 Tell the truth quickly
Faced with Meng Fuling's questioning, Qi Xuan was helpless, so he had to tell her about Xiaodonggua's entry into the palace.

Meng Fuling was extremely shocked. She knew that Xiaodonggua behaved differently from ordinary children, and even suspected that he was also a time-traveler, but she never thought that he would be reborn as the prince.

Although Meng Fuling herself has time-traveled and can accept the fact that Xiaodonggua is reborn, she just can't accept that her son's mentality is bigger than her.

She finally understood why Little Winter Melon refused to be called Qi Xuan's father, no one else would be able to call him out!
"Fu Ling, I was afraid that you would not be able to accept it, so I didn't tell you." Qi Xuan felt ashamed in his heart. He promised that he would not lie to her again, but he kept it from her again and again. He was very afraid that she would no longer trust him because of this. .

"I don't blame you, hurry back to Beijing!" Meng Fuling closed her eyes weakly.

She is not an unreasonable person, rebirth is a shocking thing in superstitious ancient times, and it happened to Little Winter Melon again, he kept it from her because he was afraid that she would not accept it.

That's all!There are still bigger problems waiting for them to solve right now, and they can't continue to entangle with this problem.

In order to speed up the journey, Qi Xuan abandoned the carriage and rode a horse instead, and brought Meng Fuling to Beijing.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, the emperor sent someone to wait here, instructing Qi Xuan to rush to the open space behind the palace immediately, and at noon today, he wanted to burn the small wax gourd.

"The emperor wants to burn the little wax gourd? You work so hard for him, but he is so merciless!" Meng Fuling was shocked and angry when she heard this.

"Yuanjing is a highly respected monk. His words are very influential. He said that the little wax gourd is a monster that harms the country. This matter has spread all over the world. Due to the pressure from all parties, the emperor has no choice but to do this."

Qi Xuan still has reason, he knows that apart from the common people, there must be some ministers who are opposed to him to force the emperor to burn the small wax gourd, if the emperor refuses, he is a foolish emperor who intends to bring disaster to the country.

The emperor can't help himself now, the hat of disaster for the country is too heavy, the little winter melon can't bear it, and the emperor can't bear it either.

Meng Fuling also understood this. On the way, they heard the people clamoring to burn the little winter melon, for fear that the little winter melon would harm them.

Human nature is so ugly. At this time, they distinguished Xiaodonggua from Qi Xuan, forgetting that Xiaodonggua was Qi Xuan's son, and they also forgot that Xiaodonggua was just a child in appearance.

"If I'm not wrong, after burning the little wax gourd, Yuanjing will say that the emperor's evil spirit has invaded his body, and the time is not long, and that person will naturally stand up to replace the emperor, and the little winter melon monster will be confirmed. name." Qi Xuan said, he had already seen through the plan of the masked man.

******
When Meng Fuling and the others arrived, the emperor, civil and military officials all came, not to mention the crowd of people.

The little wax gourd was tied to a tall wooden platform covered with yellow talismans.

An old monk in cassock held Buddhist beads and recited obscure scriptures beside him.

Meng Fuling knew that the old monk was Yuanjing, and she was so angry that she saw Xiaodonggua being treated like this, and her heart ached to the point of bleeding.

Regardless of whether Xiao Donggua was reborn or not, he was her son, and she would never stand by and watch him being burned alive.

Qi Xuan glanced at the crowd of people, frowned and said, "There are many rebels lurking among the people!"

"Are they really going to do something today? Are you prepared?" Meng Fuling's face turned paler when she heard this.

She knew that if she really took action, many innocent people would suffer and suffer countless deaths and injuries.

"Yes, I never fight uncertain battles!" He prepared for a long time to find out the masked man, but the matter of Xiaodonggua was beyond his expectation.

"How do we get there?" Meng Fuling asked. In fact, as long as Qi Xuan changes his identity or draws attention to him, many people will definitely make way for him, but this is not a wise move.

"I'll take you there." Qi Xuan hugged Meng Fuling's waist tightly, ready to fly with her.

Before Qi Xuan could use his lightness kung fu, Yuanjing suddenly opened his eyes, and spread his voice out with his internal force, "The time has come, the demon burning begins!"

As Yuanjing's voice fell, a voice preceded Meng Fuling's and stopped, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, but they didn't expect that it was a middle-aged beautiful woman who stopped her, and Yue Shaoqing was standing beside her.

They didn't know when they mixed in the crowd, and they deliberately dressed very ordinary. Before, everyone's attention was on Xiaodonggua and Yuanjing, so they didn't notice them.

Who is this woman?The people whispered to each other, the emperor and all the ministers were shocked, if the person who came was not the queen, who was it?

"Who is she?" Meng Fuling didn't have the chance to meet the queen a few times, so naturally she didn't know the queen, and only thought that she had a good temperament and was definitely not an ordinary person.

However, seeing Yue Shaoqing and He Fenglin standing beside the woman, Meng Fuling quickly guessed that she was the queen.

At first, Qi Xuan concealed Xiaodonggua's true identity, and never hid anything from her.

Meng Fuling knew that the queen was controlled by the masked man, and helped the masked man poison her parents and children and murder her husband.

"She is the empress, it seems that Feng Lin has unlocked her mind control Gu, and now she is here to identify that person." Qi Xuan said.

As for Yue Shaoqing, he thought, Feng Lin saw that he hadn't returned to Beijing yet, so he found Yue Shaoqing on his own initiative.

Saying that, Qi Xuan didn't use lightness kung fu, but took Meng Fuling around to the other side.

As soon as they passed over there, many people dressed as common people gave way quietly and let them pass, and some even followed them to the wooden platform intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this situation, Meng Fuling knew that not only the masked man placed people among the common people, but also Qi Xuan.

On the way to the wooden platform, Meng Fuling did not forget to pay attention to the things ahead.

It's just that the distance is too far, she can't see the expressions of the emperor and others clearly, from the way the emperor stood up suddenly, she should be very excited.

Indeed, the emperor knew Feng Lin, so he knew that the queen's Gu had been cured, so he must have come to help him.

And the expressions of those officials are much more exciting, with joy, worry, and annoyance.

There was only one person, who seemed extraordinarily calm.This person is Prince Jing——Shang Hongjing, he is indifferent, as if the surrounding things have nothing to do with him, and cannot be noticed by him.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, there must be no external force to interfere with the demon burning ceremony, otherwise, it will harm the common people!" Yuan Jing said without giving the Emperor a chance to speak.

"Nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that this child is a demon?" Yue Shaoqing was furious.

He still doesn't know that the little wax gourd is the crown prince, how can he not be angry when he sees his little grandson being tied to a wooden platform and being burned as a monster?
"Master Yue, how can you disrespect the master? That is disrespect to the Buddha." An official stood up and accused Yue Shaoqing regardless of the presence of the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, a few more officials stepped forward. These officials were all supporting Shang Qihao in the past, but now they must be used by the masked man.

Following the official's accusation, the people in the audience became agitated, and regardless of Yue Shaoqing's status, they all shouted that Yue Shaoqing should not be disrespectful to Yuanjing.

We must know that from ancient times to the present, people and things related to Buddha have been highly respected by the world.

"Everyone be quiet!" Facing such a noisy scene, the queen showed no fear, and she had a natural majesty all over her body.

Sure enough, everyone looked at her and couldn't help but shut up.

"Master, do you think that the child is a monster because the emperor's dragon body is sick, and you think he has harmed the emperor?" the queen asked loudly, walking onto the wooden platform.

"Exactly, it was your empress who spoke to the empress dowager and asked the old monk to pray for the emperor, and only then did you discover the existence of this monster." Yuanjing looked kindly, but dragged the empress into the water again.

The queen sneered, and asked back: "If I admit that the emperor is not sick, but poisoned? And the poison is still from this palace, then it does not constitute the theory that the emperor was poisoned by a monster."

ah?As soon as the queen said this, except for the insider, many people were stunned.

Isn't it?Where is there anyone rushing to plead guilty?And this person is actually the queen.

Xiaodonggua also looked at the queen in disbelief, he also guessed that the queen's Gu should be released, thinking that she was just here to identify the masked man, but he didn't expect her to plead guilty, didn't Feng Lin tell her that the emperor was not poisoned at all?

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Donggua looked at Feng Lin, and Feng Lin nodded at him, which meant that the Queen already knew about it.

Xiaodonggua instantly understood that the queen didn't want to leave a way for her to survive. He met the queen's eyes and understood the guilt in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, is the empress bewitched by the monster, please don't disturb the demon burning ceremony!" Yuan Jing didn't argue with the empress, but said to the emperor.

He also said a lot of things like what will happen if the demon is not eliminated, which aroused the anger of the people, and the people dressed up as subordinates of the masked men shouted the most vigorously.

"Master, the empress looks very normal, she doesn't seem to be bewitched by a monster. She said she poisoned me, this matter is no small matter, we must find out clearly." The emperor finally spoke. A few words, intended to imply that the queen revealed the identity of the masked man.

The empress is not stupid, she naturally understood what the emperor meant, but before she could speak, Shang Hongjing, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"Emperor's sister-in-law, you first asked your mother to ask Master Yuanjing to pray for the emperor's brother, and now you admit that you poisoned the emperor's brother, isn't it very contradictory?"

"There is no contradiction! It was just that I was bewitched by someone before and confused my mind. Now that the bewitch has been undone, I know that I have made an irreversible mistake." When the queen said this, she kept looking at the little wax gourd, Both eyes are red.

"Gu? You said you were hit by a Gu, so who helped you solve the Gu? Why did this person want to help you solve the Gu? What's his purpose?" Shang Hongjing changed his usual gentle and generous image, and his tone was somewhat aggressive.

At this time, Meng Fuling had already come to the audience, and she heard all the conversations of these people just now.

Seeing that the queen did not reveal the identity of the masked man for a long time, but was forced to question by Shang Hongjing, he was so anxious that he really wanted to rush forward and tell the truth instead of the queen.

Meng Fuling is not the only one who is anxious about this, Qi Xuan and the emperor are also the same.

"Prince Jing, why don't you ask who the person who made the voodoo is?" Meng Fuling's patience was limited, and she couldn't help but asked back.

As soon as Meng Fuling made a sound, everyone's eyes were on her, and Qi Xuan carried her and flew up to the high platform.

Shang Hongjing glanced at her with a smile, ignored her, and instead asked Yuanjing, "Master, this is the biological mother of the monster, in your opinion?"

Even a fool can understand Shang Hongjing's meaning, the monster's biological mother is also a monster in all likelihood, otherwise, how could she give birth to a monster son?
When Master Yuanjing looked at Meng Fuling, his eyes froze and he remained silent for a long time.

Just when Meng Fuling thought that Yuan Jing was going to say that she was also a monster, but unexpectedly, he shook his head slightly.

Yuanjing recited another Buddha's name, Fang said: "This woman is a mortal, but she is deeply bewitched by monsters, and her mind is confused."

Meng Fuling sneered, this Yuanjing is really ridiculous!Has she lost her mind?

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the fleeting viciousness in Yuan Jing's eyes, which made her heart skip a beat, and she felt a strange feeling.

no!The matter at hand must be resolved quickly, Meng Fuling was afraid that if the queen did not tell the truth, the matter would become more complicated.

Therefore, Meng Fuling walked up to the empress, ignoring the rules at this juncture, and asked directly: "Empress, can you tell everyone who tricked you?"

The queen glanced at Meng Fuling with complicated eyes.

"Yes—" the queen just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Shang Hongjing.

"Sister-in-law, don't you want to say that you are my younger brother?" Shang Hongjing's smile suddenly turned cold, and his tone was cool.
