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

The emperor of the current dynasty said such outrageous words.

Everyone around was silent, not daring to make a sound.

Abbot Nakongshan was even more surprised: "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Finished saying this.

Behind the emperor, Elder Su Yue, who was standing at the head of the royal formation, and Grand Princess Su Manying also chimed in, "Master Kong Shan, now you know why His Majesty suddenly changed his mind, right?"

"A group of villains are hiding in the dark, watching this ceremony, and are always ready to stir up trouble, and even want to snatch Queen Xiu's body!"

"An hour ago, your Jintan Temple's underground palace was almost broken into by a mysterious assassin. This is the best evidence."

Su Manying said as she took a step forward. Behind her veil, her eyes were filled with a threatening and oppressive aura. "Abbot Kongshan! Two assassination cases occurred in one day. Your Majesty did not blame you, the Jintan Temple, but I, the Imperial Clan Affairs Office, cannot sit idly by!"

"Today! You must give us an explanation! Otherwise, this elder will not agree. Elder Fufeng, who made great efforts to build your Jintan Temple, will not agree either!"

"This elder gives you two choices today! Either you open the underground palace immediately and let your majesty and this elder confirm that the coffin of Queen Xiu is correct, or..."

"Hand over those two daring assassins before daybreak!"

Every word she spoke was sonorous and powerful, fully demonstrating the majesty of the Emperor Wu's daughter, the Grand Princess.

All the ministers and monks around felt sympathetic and looked at him in awe.

The mature and steady Zen Master Kongshan also closed his eyes, chanted the Buddha's name softly, and did not dare to look him in the eye.

"Okay, okay! No, Elder Suyue! What you said is exactly what I want!"

At this moment, Emperor Yuan Tai, who was standing aside, felt both happy and somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that this cold and arrogant girl, who was a few years younger than him and had always ignored him, would actually stand on his side at the critical moment!

"Could it be that my aunt also wants to see whether Queen Xiu is dead or alive?"

"That's not right. I came to Jintan Temple because of the devil in the dry well. I had to confirm whether Queen Xiu was dead. What do you want, little aunt?"

Emperor Xia Su Wudao looked at the elders and aunts beside him who were even more excited than himself, and doubts filled his mind.

This is the end.

The emperor and the elders of the Zongwuyuan launched the attack at the same time.

The atmosphere in the hall fell into an unprecedented silence.

Seeing that everyone in the court looked unhappy.

The monks from the surrounding Jintan Temple all took a step forward and protected their abbot in the center.

This is the end.

Throughout the Great Hall, thousands of people looked towards the old abbot who had a solemn expression on his face.

After a while.

Emperor Xia walked up, staring at the old monk with his tiger eyes, and said with his inner strength: "Master, you really should give me a result. Don't forget that you took the initiative to find me and told me that the Buddhist array of Jintan Temple could suppress the "Seven Apertures Immortal Demonic Soul" of Emperor Xiu and prevent her from being resurrected."

After hearing this, Zen Master Kongshan was shocked all over, and the Buddhist beads he was twisting in his hand fell to the ground.

"Amitabha."

After a while, the abbot of Jintan Temple, who was the focus of everyone's attention, put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and compromised: "Your Majesty and the elders' intentions, I understand, cancel the water and land ceremony, and shorten the ceremony to today. I will certainly do it, but if you want to open the underground palace in advance, or even open the coffin of Queen Xiu..."

He hesitated for a second, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid I need to discuss this with my uncle."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone in the audience, including Emperor Xia, was shocked!

You know, the old abbot Kongshan is over 80 years old, how old must his uncle be?

Could it be that in addition to Kongshan, the third-rank national grandmaster, there are also senior monks of the second rank or above in charge of the Jintan Temple?

In silence, Elder Su Manying of Su Yue stepped forward again and said, "Abbot, I'm afraid this is not up to you and your uncle. On behalf of the Su royal family, I beg you to open the underground palace today so that we can carefully examine the coffin of Queen Xiu!"

"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?" She looked at Emperor Xia standing beside her.

"Yes! My opinion is the same as Elder Suyue's!"

Emperor Xia immediately agreed.

"Amitabha."

Faced with such a pressing situation, Abbot Kongshan looked gloomy. He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, since your majesty and the elders are so determined, I will agree to open the underground palace in advance."

"But please allow me to report to my uncle first. After that, regardless of whether my uncle agrees or not, I will open the underground palace and bring out the coffin of the former queen at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow, in the presence of your majesty, all the gentlemen, and the heroes of the martial arts world."

His statement is already quite compromising.

Emperor Xia Su Wudao looked at his aunt beside him, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, okay, that's great! It's agreed that tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., Master Abbot, I trust you and will wait for you!"

"Hurry up and report this to your uncle! And by the way, send my regards to this reclusive monk! Hahahaha!"

As Emperor Xia let out his signature rough laugh.

The tense atmosphere at the scene finally dissipated a little.

Looking at Abbot Kongshan, who was walking out of the hall with a group of monks from Jintan Temple.

Emperor Xia then sat down on the dragon chair brought by Chen Defu, staring at the solemn golden Buddha above him, and said with disdain:

"What a bullshit clay Buddha."

"I am happy in my heart, so I respect you one foot. If I am unhappy one day, I will let you bury yourself in the ground!"

he muttered.

However, Elder Su Manying of Suyue, who was standing next to him, heard it and said with a frown, "Your Majesty, this is a holy place for Buddhism, and the gods are watching us. Please be careful with your words."

"Ah, my aunt thinks too highly of these clay statues."

Emperor Xia said sinisterly:

"When the late emperor went insane and slaughtered his courtiers, and the Great Xia Empire was in danger and precarious, what did these gods and Buddhas who usually enjoy incense and offerings do?"

"Rather than believing in these false gods and Buddhas, I would rather believe in the Lord in the well."

At this point, Emperor Xia realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, his face changed drastically, and he quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, little aunt, I have to thank you very much today. If you hadn't mentioned Elder Fufeng who had done a favor to Jintan Temple in time, given the stubborn temper of old monk Kongshan, I'm afraid he might not have given in."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. As an elder of the royal family, I naturally want to see Queen Xiu clear her name as soon as possible and return to the Great Xia Imperial Mausoleum as the queen."

Su Manying closed her beautiful eyes slightly and spoke softly.

"Tsk, is it really just like that?"

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person with a smile.

Yes, he has experienced countless life-and-death situations, ups and downs in his life, and has long developed a keen intuition.

At this moment, his intuition told him that the reason why the young lady in front of him stood up just now must have another purpose!

"That's all."

Su Manying's tone remained calm, but her heart was secretly stirred.

What is the purpose of her trip?

To please his father, Emperor Wu, who was neither human nor ghost and lived in the dry well?

No, she wanted freedom, and

Freedom and the boy you love, forever together

"Huaian, after this matter is settled, Auntie will tell you everything. I hope you can still believe in Auntie's sincerity towards you."

Su Manying murmured to herself, and that affectionate and gentle handsome face appeared in her mind again, and her eyes suddenly became a little red.

"Hmm? What happened to the elder? Are you feeling unwell?"

Emperor Xia, who was standing by, observed the emperor's expression and asked tentatively.

"No, it's nothing."

Su Manying shook her head.

"Oh, by the way, Elder Su Yue, I previously asked your Sect Affairs Council to work with the East Factory and the Divine Constables to hunt down the assassin who broke into the underground palace. Is there any progress now?"

Emperor Xia suddenly said seriously.

I heard the prince mention this.

Su Manying suddenly remembered that she had given the sachet left behind by the assassin to her lover Huaian, and her delicate body trembled involuntarily!

She bit her lip, and her expression became much more respectful: "Your Majesty, I don't have any clues at the moment. I wonder how the investigation is going on with Eunuch Liu from the East Factory?"

"Hmph, really."

Emperor Xia was obviously unhappy with this answer. He pondered for a while and wanted to ask something else.

At this time, a report came from outside:

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Upon hearing this voice, Emperor Xia's body trembled, then he quickly gathered his emotions, forced out a respectful smile, and walked towards the palace door.

The elder Su Yue beside her had sparkling eyes. Under her pure and abstinent white elder skirt, her pair of plump legs could not help but rub against her.

Yes!

The report just now was clear and sonorous, completely different from the hoarse and sharp voice of ordinary eunuchs!

It was actually the young man who had been with her in the Buddhist temple just now and made her reach paradise several times!

Husband: Yes, at least she thinks so!

"No, why did Huai'an come straight to the emperor after meeting up with the Empress Dowager? Could it be that the Empress Dowager knew that the emperor was planning to open the underground palace in advance?"

Su Manying's brows sank and she hurried forward to meet him.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager."

Outside the Main Hall, everyone was kneeling in worship.

A beautiful lady with a proud and voluptuous figure and a stunning face slowly stepped down from the sedan chair, supported by a handsome young man in a dragon robe.

"I pay my respects to the Imperial Grandmother."

Emperor Xia took a step forward with a respectful look on his face, bowed his body, and stretched out his big hand, trying to support the Empress Dowager, but he didn't expect that -
