The Chen family was pissed off by Su Yunling, but they could do nothing and finally had to leave in anger.

The purpose of Su Yunling saying this was to plant a thorn in their hearts. Lords like these care most about bloodline.

With this thorn she had planted, it was impossible for the Chen family to have no doubts about Li Yu Niang.

Li Yu Niang should never think of enjoying wealth and prosperity with a clear conscience after squeezing out her cousin.

She wants her to be nervous all day long for fear of being exposed, but the more afraid she is, the more mistakes she will make.

After all, what is more terrifying than death itself is the process of waiting to die when you know you are about to die.

The Chen family can't expect to be safe and sound after being shameless villains.

She wanted them to live in doubt and suspicion every day, and then feel heartbroken after they knew the truth.

At midnight, after everyone in the County Lady's Mansion had gone to bed, Su Yunling went to the yard where she raised birds in the moonlight, tied the medicine powder she had prepared in advance to their claws, and then released all the birds.

This is destined to be a sleepless night...

At one o'clock in the morning, the tranquility in the palace was broken by a burst of commotion.

Screams, roars... chaotic and noisy.

Emperor Jing Zhao, who was sleeping in the Funing Palace, heard the screams of palace maids and eunuchs outside the palace while he was still asleep.

"Gao Fu! What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Emperor Jing Zhao was displeased and lifted the golden dragon quilt and was about to get out of bed.

Hearing the noise, Eunuch Gao ran in in a panic, "Your Majesty, please don't go out. There are snakes everywhere outside... So many snakes!"

"Snake?" Emperor Jing Zhao looked horrified.

But he still opened the door of Eunuch Gao, put on a cloak and went to the palace gate.

Eunuch Gao was anxiously trying to dissuade them from behind, shouting that there were too many snakes and they might threaten the dragon's body.

But Emperor Jing Zhao, who refused to believe in evil, strode to the palace door and opened it.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a horrifying scene that made his scalp tingle.

Although it was the late night and the sun had not yet risen, under the bright moonlight and the illumination of rows of lanterns, the bluestone floors, corridor pillars, flowers, plants and trees in the hall were all covered with entangled black snakes.

A rough estimate is that there were at least eight hundred people, if not a thousand. The scene was so terrifying.

Emperor Jing Zhao's face turned pale with fear. This scene was even more horrifying than the rat infestation a few months ago.

His voice was trembling and urgent: "Where is the commander of the Palace Front Department? Hurry and bring people to help me eliminate the snake plague!!!"

As soon as Emperor Jing Zhao finished speaking, he saw the guards in the southeast corner fleeing in panic.

"What a huge snake! It must have become a spirit..."

When Emperor Jing Zhao heard the sound, he looked and saw a giant snake as strong as a bucket and about sixty feet long twisting its body and sliding out from the corridor.

The giant snake's sharp fangs and dark golden pupils glowed with a chilling light under the moonlight.

"Someone come and protect the emperor... Come and protect the emperor!!!" Eunuch Gao shrilled and mustered up his courage to protect Emperor Jing Zhao, who was so scared that his legs were weak.

A dozen guards immediately gathered together and surrounded Emperor Jing Zhao behind them.

"Go quickly and invite the imperial teacher..." After Emperor Jing Zhao shouted, he was frightened to death by a small black snake that suddenly fell from his head.

When Xuan Mo arrived, he was also shocked by this rare scene.

These black snakes are slightly venomous snakes called black wind snakes, and the giant python is a golden python that feeds on black wind snakes.

This time of year is the time when black wind snakes court and mate. Female snakes will leave a special smell wherever they pass, and male snakes will come running following the scent.

The golden python also relies on this smell to hunt.

As soon as Xuan Mo entered the Funing Palace, he smelled a special smell. This smell was the main reason that attracted the snakes.

If this smell is not covered up, more snakes will come from all directions.

So he ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to bring a variety of strong-smelling medicinal powders, including realgar powder, and sprinkle them throughout the palace.

Then use torches to drive away the snakes.

After two hours of effort, the largest golden python was captured and the crisis was over.

However, Emperor Jing Zhao was so frightened and had a high fever that he couldn't even attend the morning court.

Without his final order, Xu Youting, who was originally scheduled to be executed today, was lucky enough to live another day.

Su Yunling was not idle. He took this opportunity to immediately pay various teahouses and restaurants to write a script about "A Loyal Minister Suffers Wrongly and Strange Phenomena from the Sky" overnight.

When Emperor Jing Zhao woke up, it was two days later.

While he was thinking about dealing with Xu Youting, the Palace Guard, the enemy spy who had been instigated returned to the capital with the enemy's border defense map.

Emperor Jing Zhao was quite surprised by this. He thought the spy would definitely escape, but he didn't expect that he actually dared to come back.

But compared to revenge on Xu Hantang, an effective enemy defense map is obviously more important.

General Pei had been stationed at the border of Beiyuan. He was summoned to the palace to examine the defense map that the man had submitted.

The result did not disappoint, it was real.

Xu Youting was cleared of treason and the letters that framed him were confirmed to be forgeries.

He was taken out of the death row and knelt in front of the Purple Palace in prison clothes to wait for his enthronement.

"Lord Xu has endured humiliation and made great contributions this time, and has been promoted to the deputy commander of the Palace Front..."

As for the spy who was instigated to rebel, his merits and demerits offset each other, and he lived the life of an ordinary citizen in Dayin with his family.

As a result of this gambling game, Xu Youting was promoted twice from the sixth rank Yu Hou, but he knew that this was far from enough, so he took the initiative to volunteer to lead the troops to the northern border with General Pei to suppress the enemy.

Emperor Jing Zhao was already worried about the snake plague, and combined with the rumors among the people, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​using Xu Youting to force Xu Handang to hand over the red book and iron certificate, and agreed to let him go with the army.

Emperor Jing Zhao asked about the snake plague again. Although Xuan Mo suspected that it was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, he had no direct evidence and could only attribute it to Su Yunling's fate of disaster.

Emperor Jing Zhao believed it without a doubt, because something happened that night after Su Yunling entered the palace.

It seems that I can no longer summon her into the palace at will. After she marries Xiao Jichen, I will let them return to Prince Su’s fiefdom.

In the mansion of Duke Qin, the couple waited and waited but there was no news of Xu Youting being beheaded.

Finally, on this day, the good news came that Xu Youting was promoted to a higher position.

"What? Xu Youting was wrongly accused. He did not collaborate with the enemy or commit treason. He even made great contributions?"

The couple, who received the exact news, had very unhappy expressions on their faces.

Why were they so eager to sever ties with the Xu family earlier?

Because of this incident, the reputation of Duke Qin's Mansion plummeted.

In the streets, teahouses, taverns and other places, it is said that Chen Ye is unfaithful, cold-hearted and unjust, and that he abandoned his wife and found a new love in order to protect himself.

The Duke of Qin's Mansion abandoned their in-laws in their time of crisis and acted like a mean-spirited person, taking advantage of their misfortune. This is truly unbearable.

Now that the Xu family has not declined as they expected, the whole city will once again make fun of the Qin Mansion.

The couple was in a state of panic when they heard a servant report:

"My Lord, Madam, the Second Young Master beat up Miss Li."

The two of them looked unhappy and asked immediately, "What's the matter? Ye'er has always been kind, why would he lay hands on a girl?"

When Qin rushed to Chen Ye's yard, she saw Li Yu Niang had been slapped to the ground by Chen Ye, sobbing with her face covered.

"Ye'er, Yu Niang is pregnant with your child, how can you do that to her now?"

Chen Ye's face flushed with anger, his chest rising and falling with rage, "Mom, you'd better ask her whose child she is pregnant with?"

Li Yu Niang's face was pale. When she tried to explain herself, a child around three years old was brought in by a servant.

"You are not allowed to bully my mother..."
