Your Majesty, don't look back. I am Your Majesty.

A pair of jade feet wrapped in flesh-colored silk stockings came straight towards his face!

Yu Huaian instinctively raised his palms and caught the jade feet.

"You little brat, you still have the nerve to laugh secretly?"

Wan Zhen'er scolded: "If you hadn't been unruly and provoked the Empress Dowager, why would we be trapped here in the middle of the night?"

"It's Xiao Anzi's fault. Xiao Anzi has apologized many times."

Yu Huaian didn't dare to say much to Concubine Wan and was about to put down the flesh-colored jade legs in his hands.

But Wan Zhen'er blinked and put her beautiful legs completely on his shoulders: "Don't put them down, just give me a foot massage."

"My lady, you..."

Yu Huaian looked at Concubine Wan's silky feet, then glanced at the Empress Dowager who stood still with lingering fear.

"Alright, if you two want to make trouble, go to the harem and deal with it slowly later. Don't pollute my eyes!"

The Empress Dowager turned her eyes away and glared at the two of them fiercely.

Da da da.

Clear and heavy footsteps were heard outside the palace gate.

Yu Huaian knew that Emperor Xia had arrived, his expression tensed, and he quickly sat up straight.

However, Concubine Wan still did not know how to restrain herself. She completely ignored the Empress Dowager beside her and had her usual provocative smile on her face as she continued to tease her lover with her toes.

Yu Huaian has been with this woman for five years and knows her personality too well.

The more dangerous the situation, the more excited she becomes!

With no other options left, he could only use his strange Qi flow to secretly transmit his message:

"My lady, you don't want to either."

The words are not finished yet.

A strong male voice came:

"My grandson pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Hearing the emperor's heavy footsteps, Concubine Wan did not restrain herself. Instead, she took a step forward with her beautiful legs in flesh-colored stockings and sat down in the young man's arms.

Yu Huaian simply closed his eyes and let the other party torment him.

Xiao Rumei glared at the two people behind her coldly, and then said to the outside of the curtain in her usual cold tone: "Emperor, how can you come to pay respects in the middle of the night? Tell me directly, why do you come to see me?"

"This"

In the hall, Emperor Xia Su Wudao looked gloomy, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated: "Alas, I can't hide it from the Empress Dowager. I came here in a hurry. I do have some confusions. I want the Empress Dowager to answer them for me."

"Go ahead."

Empress Dowager Xiao said, "But if you still want to ask about the white dragon, I can't answer you. You have to ask your new garden master, Tan De."

"No, I already know the answer to this question."

Emperor Xia gritted his teeth and said, "The question I want to ask Grandmother Royal is about my sister-in-law."

"You are not here for your poor sister-in-law. It can be seen that the demon who has committed many murders in the name of Queen Xiu recently has caused you, the emperor, a headache."

Empress Dowager Xiao said with a half-smile.

"Grandmother, you live in the Cining Palace, how did you know about this?"

Emperor Xia's body trembled, with a look of surprise on his face.

Behind the curtain, Yu Huaian's heart skipped a beat. He ignored Concubine Wan who was playing around nearby, rushed forward, and boldly patted Empress Dowager Xiao's round and full breasts, signaling her to change the subject.

Unexpectedly.

He took this shot casually.

As if some mechanism in her body had been activated, the Empress Dowager's face instantly turned red and her body trembled slightly.

"Grandmother? Are you feeling unwell?"

Emperor Xia asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a little tired. But speaking of which, Your Majesty, you came to visit me so late at night. If I can't answer your questions, I'm afraid you will be even more unable to sleep when you return to Shengwu Palace, right?"

"Ah, that's true."

Emperor Xia sighed lightly, his tiger eyes becoming more solemn: "That murderer is really vicious. Not only did he assassinate the son of Minister Mo Aiqing of the Ministry of Works, but also Mr. Qi from the Hanlin Academy, who is over 80 years old, could not escape his clutches!"

"What annoys me the most is that the third son of the Tang Clan in Shu County was invited by me to come to the Imperial Palace as a representative of the martial arts world to participate in the Moon Festival Ceremony, but now he has died inexplicably!"

"I really don't know how to explain this to Tang Wanxiong, the leader of the Tang Sect! Grand Empress Dowager, you know that when I started the rebellion to fight against the Mad Emperor, the masters of the Tang Sect made great contributions to me!"

At this point, he sighed to himself:

"Alas, if this case cannot be solved, the martial arts community will certainly be even more contemptuous and hostile to the imperial court. All my efforts to ease the relationship between the two sides since I ascended the throne will have been wasted."

"Grandmother, you don't want to see the Great Xia Empire lose face because of a treacherous monster hiding in the dark, right?"

"Well, Emperor, you don't have to beat around the bush with me."

Empress Dowager Xiao said indifferently: "Just tell me what you want to ask. I will do my best to answer you."

"Okay! Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Emperor Xia was delighted. He took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "Excuse me, the Empress Dowager, besides Xia Lizong and Su Yan, you are the first person to see the corpse of Empress Xiu. Excuse me, the Empress Dowager, this sister-in-law, she..."

"Is she really dead?"

When he asked the last question, the Great Xia Emperor, who had experienced a bloody palace coup and had always displayed his domineering power, turned pale and trembled all over.

"whispering sound."

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, "Emperor, what are you afraid of? You have nothing in common with your sister-in-law. If there really is a female ghost in the palace who comes back for revenge, it can only be your own queen, right?"

"Grandmother, you"

Emperor Xia gnashed his teeth, his expression slightly angry: "Please don't mention the woman who betrayed the royal family and me! If you hadn't personally escorted her out of the palace, I would have ordered the divine crossbow to be set up and shot her into pieces in front of Jian Li!"

"She wanted to leave the palace on her own initiative from the beginning! I never forced her!"

"So, what right does she have to come back for revenge? Does she dare? Does she really think she is the sister-in-law of the Emperor Xiu who has supernatural powers?"

The more Emperor Xia spoke, the more excited he became. Veins popped out on his forehead. "Grandmother, do you know that she stole my imperial seal before leaving the palace? Over the years, the seal on my desk has always been a fake one!"

"She wants me to be an emperor who is not worthy of his title. She wants me to become a laughing stock in the eyes of all the previous emperors of Great Xia!"

"Shen Mingyue, I wish I could kill this bitch——"

"Enough! Emperor!"

Empress Dowager Xiao rebuked coldly: "In front of me, please pay attention to the emperor's appearance."

"Yes!"

Emperor Xia gritted his teeth and said, "My grandson was rude. Please forgive me, Grandmother."

After saying this, he took a deep breath and asked respectfully, "So, what is your answer to my question, Grand Empress Dowager?"

"What did the people from the Suppression of Foreign Affaires Division say?" asked Empress Dowager Xiao.

Emperor Xia said with a sad look in his eyes, "The Director of the Abnormal Suppression Division, Master Kongxu, has gone out to travel again. The case is currently being investigated by the Deputy Director, the Sorcerer Qingye, who has arranged for several high-ranking Xuanyi Envoys to investigate."

"According to them, Queen Xiu's body and head have been separated for decades. Even with her demonic 'Seven Apertures Immortal Demonic Soul', she cannot be resurrected."

"Yes, that's the answer. That girl will never come back."

Empress Dowager Xiao looked into the void, her eyes slightly red, as if she was reminded of sad past events.

At this moment, a warm and powerful caress came from the waist and chest at the same time.

It turned out that the young man hugged her!

"Rain Huaian, you"

Empress Dowager Xiao felt ashamed and frightened, and was about to push the young man away when she suddenly remembered that he had hugged her and comforted her in front of Concubine Wan!

Driven by inexplicable emotions, she did not stop the boy.

Instead, she raised her jade hand, patted his handsome face, and said with inner strength: "Be good, I'm fine, stay aside for now."

"Well, Xiao Anzi knows."

Yu Huaian also responded, and just as he retreated, he was locked up by Concubine Wan.

At this time, Emperor Xia's voice came from outside again:

"But Empress Dowager, even so, I am still afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Huh?"

Empress Dowager Xiao said coldly: "Think about it, if it was really Empress Xiu who came back for revenge, would she only kill a few small fish and shrimps? In the entire royal family, who didn't receive her kindness? How did you repay her later?"

"Ah, that's true."

Emperor Xia nodded thoughtfully, then showed a look of delight: "Thank you, Grandmother, for your advice. I feel much more at ease now!"

Empress Dowager Xiao added: "You are always protected by the most elite "Divine Guards" and "Dragon Guards" of the royal family. You should sit firmly in the Golden Throne Hall and control the overall situation. Let the people from the Ministry of Suppression, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Divine Capture investigate slowly!"

"A low-level sorcerer who hides in the dark, uses the name of Queen Xiu to do whatever he wants, I don't believe he can turn the tables!"

"What the Imperial Grandmother said is absolutely right!"

Emperor Xia also regained his former self-confidence and said in a deep voice: "Grand Empress Dowager, please rest assured! Before that demon killed the fourth victim, Master Mo, I had already ordered martial law in the capital and sealed off all the major gates of the imperial capital. This person will definitely not be able to escape from this imperial capital!"

"I will capture it with my own hands and torture it severely with the iron whip in my hand! Make it reveal its sinister motives!"

"Well, this is what you should do as a king."

Empress Dowager Xiao paused and asked, "By the way, Emperor, in addition to the Suppression Division, which other departments in the court have you arranged to participate in these cases?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Zhuge Shenhou of the Divine Detective Department has taken over the case and ordered his eldest disciple, Nie Zheng, the Deputy Chief of the Divine Detective Department who was promoted by me personally, and Lu Lumiao, the youngest disciple of Master Kongxu of the Strange Suppression Department, to jointly investigate the case. In addition..."

"I have also arranged for the experts from the Eastern Depot and the Ministry of Justice to assist and provide backup. This lineup can be said to be foolproof. That evildoer will definitely not be able to escape even if he has wings!"

"what."

Xiao Rumei uttered a light "exclamation" and turned to look at the deputy commander of the West Factory and asked, "Emperor, Liu Jin of the East Factory framed Yu Huaian of the West Factory in public at the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is known to the whole court, and you also took him to the Imperial Prison. How come this East Factory..."

"Now you are being reused again?"
