"This hairpin is really beautiful."

When the Queen saw Shen Li saw the hairpin, her expression was very calm and she didn't seem to be pretending.

She simply continued, "This hairpin was bought by me from outside the palace."

"Miss Shen is stunningly beautiful, she is a perfect match for him."

"I have heard that Miss Shen went to Wanfu Temple on the day of the prayer. Is this true?"

Shen Li curled her lips and smiled: "To be honest, Your Majesty, there is such a thing."

She knew that if she lied to cover up her mistake at this time, the Queen would find out.

"These days, I often dream about my mother who passed away many years ago."

"She once appeared in my dream and told me to live well."

"So, I took my sister to Wanfu Temple."

"Come to think of it, I encountered some strange things at Wanfuji Temple that day."

The queen's eyes changed slightly and she looked at her in disbelief.

"I don't know what happened to Miss Shen?"

Shen Li said: "My sister and I once asked for a fortune in Wanfu Temple, and the fortune said that I have been carrying some unclean things on me these days."

"You need to chant sutras in the temple for half a month to remove the dirt from your body."

"I thought the old monk was lying, but after my sister came back to the Shen family with me, she fell ill for no apparent reason."

"In the past few days, I have been deliberately distancing myself from my grandmother and Mi'er, and have been chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures in the Shen family ancestral hall day and night."

"I never thought that the Queen would allow me to enter the palace today."

As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, the Queen's hand holding the dish froze in mid-air.

The prince is still in a coma, and she recites scriptures and prays every day, hoping that the prince will wake up soon.

More importantly, there have been so many strange things happening in the East Palace these days that she even suspected that the prince was possessed by an evil spirit.

Now Shen Li actually said that there was something unclean on his body.

She had a fortune stick from Wanfuji Temple in her hand, and what was indicated on the stick matched what the prince had encountered.

The whole city of Yanjing knows about the fortune-telling at Wanfu Temple.

Out of ten lots, eight are correct.

Thinking of this, the queen pretended to be calm and forced a smile on her face.

He was originally planning to pick up some food for Shen Li, but stopped because of Shen Li's words.

She smiled and said, "I see Miss Shen now. She is in very good spirits and doesn't seem to be possessed by any evil spirit."

"You don't have to worry so much."

Shen Li nodded, and caught a glimpse of the Queen's expression from the corner of her eye. She seemed to have realized that the Queen believed it.

After finishing her meal with the Queen, the Queen immediately asked the nanny beside her to send Shen Li away.

Shen Li felt relieved only after she left the palace and got on the carriage to the Shen Mansion.

Fortunately, she escaped unharmed, but she also knew that since the Queen suspected her, she must have noticed some clues.

After Shen Li left, Nanny Zhang came over.

"Madam, what do you see?"

The queen looked at her coldly and angrily scolded her, "What a useless thing! How could a piece of clothing get stuck in the gap between the legs of a table?"

"All the wine I prepared has been spilled."

The queen turned her eyes to look outside the door and said coldly: "Find an opportunity to sell her to a cheap brothel. I will make sure that the Shen family will never find her."

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, Nanny Zhang's expression suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, General Sima is already on his way back to Yanjing."

"If we sell Miss Shen to a brothel, it will be inappropriate to investigate later."

"Besides, looking at Miss Shen's expression today, she doesn't look like someone who would lose her hairpin."

The Queen also seemed to feel something was not right, especially because Jiang Xuan was coming back.

She simply said, "Well, Jiang Xuan is coming back. I will wait until Jiang Xuan returns to the border, and then have someone sell Shen Li to a brothel in another country. It won't be too late."

She looked around Fengluan Palace and said, "Quick, bring me something to fumigate."

"Get rid of those dirty things..."

Soon, the maids and nurses in Fengyi Palace began to get busy.

They found mugwort and incense and burned them wherever Shen Li passed.

When the queen thought of what happened in the Eastern Palace, she became flustered and re-entered the Buddhist temple.

She knelt on the ground, her eyes closed, her body trembling slightly.

She held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and murmured to herself, "Buddha bless you, Amitabha, Amitabha."

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, a playful and provocative sneer was heard from the Buddhist hall.

The queen's face suddenly froze, and she slowly opened her eyes, and saw a young man standing in front of the Buddha.

The young man had a suggestive look in his eyes, was dressed in black, and held a Ruyi jade pendant in his hand.

This person was none other than Murong Che.

The queen had a blank expression on her face and clenched the Buddhist beads in her hands.

"Why does Prince Rui want to come to this palace?"

"I didn't expect that King Rui would also believe in Buddhism."

Murong Che nonchalantly took some of the late queen's belongings and placed them on the table in front of the Buddha.

"This king has never believed in Buddhism."

"Although they killed people and licked their blood, they were all aboveboard."

"On the contrary, my lady, I don't know whether the Buddha will bless you."

The queen's face froze and she glared at him fiercely.

Murong Che continued, "I heard that when my mother died, there was two bodies and a baby girl in her belly."

"I don't know if this baby girl has been reincarnated as a human being."

"The two of them died and their souls are still there. This prince has come here to pray for my mother's soul to be reborn."

After putting the things away, Murong Che turned around and leaned lazily against the Buddha statue, looking so arrogant and evil that the queen, who was holding the Buddhist beads, clenched her hands suddenly.

Murong Che raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice evil.

"Looking at the Queen's expression, she seems to be afraid of something?"

"It is said that the Queen is kind and merciful. She has not done anything against the will of heaven or morality. Why is she trembling all over after entering this temple?"

"Could it be that the rumors in Yanjing City about the queen's kindness are all false?"

"Your Majesty, this is just false kindness."

The queen pretended to be calm, holding the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said to Murong Che sarcastically: "I didn't expect that after being in Liguo for ten years, Prince Rui would be as uncultured as the people of Liguo."

"I am the head of the harem and your nominal mother."

Murong Che clasped his hands together and a low, hoarse laugh escaped from his throat.

The words that came out of it made people feel cold all over.

"I am not your son in name only."

"You are right. I am just like the people of Li Country. I have no manners or manners."

"However, the queen thinks that she is a role model for the harem in terms of etiquette and rules. Under the rules of respect and inferiority, she hides a dirty heart."

The queen was enraged by her.

"Prince Rui, don't be so arrogant."

She curled her lips slightly, "I have been here for so many years, and I have watched how you have come to where you are today step by step."

"It is said that Prince Rui is not interested in women, but now he also likes Miss Shen."

The man had a cold breath and a sinister smile on his lips.

"So, Your Majesty wants to use Shen Mi to threaten me?"

The queen closed her eyes and quietly struck the wooden fish.

"This palace is just a reminder to Prince Rui, don't mess with your dignity, and don't be too arrogant."

Murong Che sneered, "If the Queen doesn't want Duke Lin to live past the next month, you can do as you please."

"My lord, I will let you see with your own eyes how he decays in front of you and turns into a pool of blood."

The queen opened her eyes and sneered, "I am the queen of Dayan."

"Do you think that I will be afraid of you just because you threaten me with an insignificant outsider?"

Murong Che's expression was calm. He reached out, took out a stick of incense, lit it, bowed in front of the Buddha, and then casually inserted the incense into the incense burner.

He said coldly: "Is it irrelevant?"

"You want to get rid of it cleanly. I hope you won't regret it in the future."

He turned around and looked at the queen nonchalantly, "Then you should be a good queen of Dayan."

"Otherwise, you will be torn into pieces by our father."

After the cold voice fell, Murong Che turned around and walked out of the Buddhist hall.

As soon as I left the Buddhist temple, I saw Emperor Ren De and some palace maids and eunuchs walking towards me.

Emperor Ren De came hurriedly and saw that he looked unfocused.

"Why do you have the leisure to come to this harem temple today?"
