The vicious nanny who was guarding the side immediately walked up and grabbed her arm without hesitation and slammed it against her back.

Xu Muqing struggled hard, shouting stubbornly and unwillingly, "Empress Dowager, what did the daughter of the minister do? You will catch me indiscriminately."

When she looked at the emperor, her eyes showed a strong fear, and a thin mist surged into her eyes, looking weak and pitiful.

"Your Majesty, please help me. My daughter doesn't understand what's going on, so why are I arrested? Even if my daughter really commits a sin that is unforgivable, I will let my daughter die clearly, right?"

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent, and she said coldly, "Xu Muqing, you are not real at all, but a fake fake. You are a killer sent by the South Vietnamese Kingdom and want to assassinate General Xu and his son."

"For an assassin like you with ulterior motives, will the Ai family still allow you to make trouble in the general's mansion and assassinate you then?"

Xu Muqing was trembling with fear, but her face was extremely aggrieved, "Empress Dowager, my daughter has always been my parents' daughters. Who did you hear such words? Look at my face, how could it be a fake?"

She broke away from the nanny who was imprisoning her and knelt in front of the emperor with a plop, tears flowing down like beads that kept wiping.

"Your Majesty, please send the imperial physician to help me check it out. My daughter's face is real and it is definitely not a fake. My daughter has been studying medicine for so many years, but I have never heard of a face that can be exactly the same as others."

"Empress Dowager, if the minister and daughter do something wrong and offend you, you just say that the minister and daughter can bear it. But it is related to the identity of the minister and daughter, so please ask the queen mother and the emperor to observe it clearly."

She pinched her face hard, and it made her marks come with red marks. "Prince, please see, the daughter's face is really not wearing a mask. This is my real face, and there is no falsehood at all."

"Empress Dowager, my ministers are really not fakes. You cannot blame the false charges on my ministers."

She cried so much that she was as lovable as the rain, but the queen mother was so angry that she couldn't help but sneer.

"It is worthy of being a spy sent by the State of Nanyue. They are still calm when they die. Master, you see the ambition of the State of Nanyue. Once such a spy succeeds, you will lose your most trusted pillar."

The Empress Dowager stared at Xu Muqing sharply, and her posture was like, she would never give up if she didn't get her out.

"Don't you want evidence? The Ai family will let you give up. It just so happened that the nephew of the Ai family saw suspicious doctors on the border between South Vietnam and our country. They knew you from their drunken and show off. Xu Muqing, is you the number one beauty in the capital?"

"The doctors from Nanyue Kingdom said that they used special means to perform face-changing techniques for a girl. Even if they don't wear masks, they can still make another picture according to other people's faces. Do you think your face is as good as you rest assured? The emperor, let the real Xu Muqing master and the nephew of the Ai family catch the doctor in, and let her show her true form, okay?"

The empress dowager looked at the emperor. Although it was a discussion sentence, her tone was unquestionable, and she was even aggressive.

She reminded for the last time.

The queen mother was impatient, "Don't delay the time, no one will come to save you. As a spy, there is only one way to die. Don't you want the Ai family to execute you with open reasons? This time, you will convince you. The person who comes will take her the pill that shows her true form. When her face changes, see what she has to say."

The expressionless nanny walked up, took the pill from the Nanyue doctor's hand, and forced her to swallow it.

The Empress Dowager has been waiting for this moment for a long time. She suppressed her inner excitement, and there was a crazy and strange light in her eyes. When the fake appeared, Xu Muqing's doomsday was about to come.

However, after waiting for two incense sticks, Xu Muqing, who had expected to be deformed, was still that delicate and beautiful face, without any pain at all, and did not show any true form like a painted skin.

Originally, the emperor was looking forward to it, but his face sank directly at this moment, and his sharp and murderous gaze fell on the face of the doctor of the Nanyue Kingdom.

"Didn't you say that the face change technique will reveal your true form after taking the pill? What's going on now?"

The girl in front of him still had no change. Either the pill was useless, or the girl in front of him was the real Xu Muqing, not a spy from the spy from the South Vietnam Kingdom.

The Nanyue doctor opened his eyes wide in shock, and his legs fell to the ground as soon as he weakened. "How could this happen? It shouldn't be. My pills have never failed."

The empress dowager's original complacent and certainty also gradually changed her face in Xu Muqing's face that was not yet unrestrained.

Why is this happening? Didn’t Ce'er say that Xu Muqing was kidnapped by him and rescued by Xiao Linye?

Why has this shadow-like appearance not changed yet and has not shown its true form?

Her mind slid around a little, and immediately understood what was going on, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Did the killer she sent out not only failed to intercept and kill successfully, but Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing actually sneaked into the capital under their noses. Haven't their people discovered it yet?

Oops, Xiao Linye brought back very fatal evidence. What should I do now?

"Because I am the real Xu Muqing, not a fake at all. Of course, your pills can't be tested. Doctor, do you have anything to say?"

Xu Muqing's eyes were cold and sharp, "I don't know what kind of benefits others have promised you and asked you to slander me like this, but I'm really sorry, I'm going to let you down."

Tang Weiqing suddenly snorted coldly and started attacking the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, what do you mean? My apprentice is well-behaved, filial and understanding. How could she offend you? You actually want people from Nanyue to slander her?"

"Your Majesty, you can do this. Qing'er's father has always been loyal to you. Now that you have such a thing, wouldn't it be a shame to the old minister's heart?"

After Xiao Lie passed away, he received help from Tang Weiqing before he took office. The help was quite good. Now this elder, who is much higher than him, is getting angry, and even the emperor wants to give face.

"Uncle, grandfather, don't get angry. This matter is actually a misunderstanding. Xu Muqing is not a fake, and it is better not to be a spy sent by the State of Nanyue. I don't want the minister I rely on to be assassinated, and the State of Liang has lost a general. Do you think?"

Xiao Lie's tone was soft and he apologized sincerely.

Tang Weiqing's eyes looked a little gentler, "The emperor is a wise monarch, and the minister of the empress knows clearly in his heart."

He turned his words and looked at the Queen Mother with anger, "But what do you mean, Queen Mother? Why do you have to be unable to get along with my disciple? If she messes with you, you just say, if it is her mistake, no one can accuse you of punishing her. But you can't make a fool of yourself with such inconvenient means, right?"

The empress dowager felt as if she was caught by a cat. She felt very uncomfortable. She was angry and anxious. She hated Xu Muqing that she had actually returned at this critical moment. She was even more worried that Xiao Linye would come back with important evidence, and that the Lin family and her would suffer losses.

She didn't think she was wrong and had no intention of repentance. "Uncle, isn't the Ai family also considering the safety of Liang State?"

"Since you have doubts, of course you have to figure it out. Xu Muqing is not a fake, but a real daughter, which is better. If the doctor from Nanyue is telling the truth and letting us ignore it, wouldn't it have already caused a tragedy?"

After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager still felt unwilling to accept it, "Emperor, although Xu Muqing is real now, there may not be no fake one in General Weiyuan's mansion. Take this opportunity to ask the emperor to send the imperial guards to search. What if there are really assassins?"

She didn't feel that Siying was being processed so quickly, she must be hidden in the general's mansion.

The emperor lost such a big face and broke out completely at this time, "Empress Dowager, can you stop making trouble? Is it okay to have to let the old minister feel cold? Xu Muqing has been staying in the mansion well, where are there any spies and assassins?"

He even felt that the Empress Dowager was brainwashed by King Rui, otherwise how could she say such words?

Tang Weiqing also looked at the Queen Mother sharply and coldly, "Since my disciple is not a fake, then the emperor, I will take the person away. Qing'er, hurry up and don't stay in such a dangerous place, be careful of your head."

The empress dowager was so angry that she almost gulped up her heart. She knew that Xu Muqing had just come back. She knew that she was kidnapped by Xiao Lince, but she couldn't tell the twists and turns around her, not to mention how painful and aggrieved she was.

Xu Muqing straightened her back, with a stubborn face and refused to admit defeat. She said clearly, "This kind of thing that has no real evidence, I hope it will never happen again in the future. Although my daughter is humble, she cannot be slandered like this. When encountering such a thing in the future, I will ask the Queen Mother to find out before deciding whether to punish or not."

Tang Weiqing also disliked the Queen Mother, but said to Xiao Lie kindly, "The emperor said that the wise king of all ages will become stronger and stronger in the hands of the emperor. The ancestors of the Xiao family will be very pleased."

"Uncle and grandfather, you have praised it. If you did not have your original support, you would not be what I am today. You are the elder I respect the most."

Tang Weiqing waved his hand heroically, "Your Majesty, stop calling me the uncle and grandfather. Now everyone outside knows that I am Doctor Tang, not Doctor Xiao. If nothing else, I will take Qing'er, the incompetent apprentice, away."

The emperor still used a respectful attitude, "The emperor's uncle and grandfather walked slowly."

After they left, the emperor's eyes were stained with coldness and bloodthirsty. He looked at the Nanyue doctor who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said in disgust, "Come on, drag him down and execute him!"

The Empress Dowager stood up, "Your Majesty, let's leave it to the Ai family. This brave man dares to deceive the Ai family. The Ai family makes him unable to die a bad death!"

The doctor in the South Vietnamese country was ashamed, and fear swept over like a surging flood, forcing him to almost collapse. His clothes were wet and he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please spare me, I will never dare to talk nonsense again."

"Mother, you are getting more and more confused as you get older. The Kingdom of Nanyue deliberately lets these people confuse the public and fan the flames so that I can lose my mind and make a wrong decision. Don't say it anymore, this Nanyue man who is witchy must be executed!"

How could the Empress Dowager die? She was still useful to keep it. She was anxious as if it was the same, "He also lied to the Ai family. The Ai family wanted to execute him personally! Emperor, this time the matter was indeed because the Ai family was not considerate and attacked without obtaining conclusive evidence. This time, it would not be like this in the future."

If this doctor from Nanyue state said that it was instructed by someone else, it would be even more difficult for her to gain the trust of the emperor from the emperor.

Xiao Lie narrowed his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, "Mother, why are you doing so nervous? Is there anything else that Xu Muqing doesn't know? Otherwise, why are you so sure that the one in the General's Mansion is a fake?"

The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she was soon forced to suppress it. "Can the Ai family know what Xu Muqing is doing? It's just what nephew Sun Lin Tang said with a nose and eyes. So credible, the Ai family believed it."

Xiao Lie's sharp eyes fell on the empress dowager's face and said thoughtfully, "Is that so? I thought you did something to Xu Muqing. You are sure that she is not in the mansion, and there is another person in the mansion who is exactly the same as her, so I said with certainty that this person in the mansion is a fake."

"It seems that I need to send someone to check it out."

What else did the empress dowager want to say? Eunuch Li, who was guarding the door, walked in with a hurried expression and said in a low voice, "Emperor, Your Highness, the Crown Prince has returned from Qingzhou City to investigate the case. He said there is something important to report to the emperor."

Xiao Lie finally put his suspicion of the empress dowager aside, "Since the empress dowager wants to execute this doctor personally, I will leave it to you. I also want to discuss the granary case with the prince, so I will not accompany you. The empress dowager will go back first."

"Then thank you, the emperor. Come and take this thief who is full of nonsense and talkative words back to Ningshou Palace and kill him directly."

The Empress Dowager stared at the doctor of the South Vietnamese country, looking fiercely as if she wanted to tear people apart.

When she and the palace servants around her left Zichen Palace, they happened to meet Xiao Linye, who was covered in frost and dusty faces, walked in with his followers, and the people on both sides passed by.

No one knew how fearful the Queen Mother was at this time. She was like she was surrounded by a terrifying wave, and she could be submerged at any time.

Xiao Linye came back alive. Does that mean that the things Lin An did have been exposed, so does the Lin family still have a way out?

At this moment, the empress dowager was already thinking about Xu Muqing's affairs. She returned to Ningshou Palace and immediately asked her most trusted confidant eunuch to pass the news to Qingquanzhou, so that Lin An would be prepared and that those who should escape should not be surrendered.

In the Zichen Palace, the emperor asked Xiao Linye with a kind look, "Ye'er, have you found out that the granary was empty? "

"Father, the son minister went through a lot of trouble and found some important clues. Lin An, the Southeast Jieduan, as well as the Queen Mother's other tribe members, and many important local officials, all participated in this case."

"Thirty percent of this batch of grain was sold to the South Vietnamese country, and 20 percent were secretly sold to the people. The remaining 50 percent were unknown. According to the letters, it seemed to be used to raise someone and who they raised specifically, but they didn't say."

Xiao Linye placed the evidence in front of the emperor, including account books, correspondence, sold silver, and the mysterious group of people.

Xiao Lie stared at the account book and letters, his face turned pale, and a cold breath burst out from his body. After a while, he was so angry that he slapped the table with a heavy palm.

"What else can it be? These secret people are naturally the army. Half of the southeast are vast mountains. It is easy to raise tens of thousands of people secretly, and tens of thousands of people are very easy. It is so good that I am not dead and not sick and disabled, but I have already raised the army secretly. I want my throne."

Does his mother want to hand over the Xiao family's turmoil to the Lin family? Or do she think he is disobedient and wants to join forces with the Lin family to pull him down and replace Xiao Lince with the position?

"Ye'er, how great would it be if you killed those rats who embezzled and abused the law on the spot and only satisfyed their own selfish desires."

Xiao Lie was so angry that he trembled all over. He wanted to arrest everyone in the Lin family and chopped his head, so that they could have a heart and make them want to rebel!

"Father, how could Erchen be the opponent of the chief officials of the border? What's more, Lin An also has military power, so Erchen is not their opponent."

Xiao Linye's face showed bitterness, and suddenly coughed twice in pain. When he was holding a veil to cover his mouth, the emperor even saw a faint blood on the veil.

"It's because my father is too forced. You are so weak, I'm very satisfied if I can find so much evidence. Let me leave the matter of eradicating the Lin family."

Xiao Lie waved his hand, "Thank you for your hard work this time, Ye'er, go back and rest first."

"Then I will take my leave first." Xiao Linye was not polite, and bowed and retreated.

Eunuch Li looked at Xiao Linye's back thoughtfully. He always felt that the prince, who was seriously ill, was too lighter. He was really terminally ill and seriously toxic as the imperial doctor said. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was not.

"Your Majesty, the face of the Crown Prince seems to be better than when he left the capital, and he is in good spirits. It seems that Doctor Liang has good medical skills and has stabilized His Highness's condition."

Eunuch Li said with relief on his face, as if he was moved.

Xiao Lie immediately narrowed his eyes and a dangerous light burst out, "Do you think Ye'er's condition looks better?"

"Yes, he is light and looks a little more energetic. Maybe he is so excited when he is happy. This time, his Highness overcomes many difficulties and finds important evidence of the Lin family's crime. He must be very happy."
