The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

The Queen Mother suddenly landed on the ground, crawling at her feet, her eyes filled with greed and malice meeting Sheng Ruijiao's helpless gaze.

Sheng Ruijiao not only saw a monster with a twisted body as if it had walked out of an ancient curse, but also clearly saw a hideous face shrouded in a strange red light, like an evil ghost crawling out of the abyss of hell.

That face had distorted features, and deep in its eyes there was a dark light flickering that did not belong to this world, revealing an indescribable horror, as if it had completely escaped the realm of humanity.

Although its outline is still human, the dark blue spots faintly moving under the skin are spreading like an ancient totem, making people think that some unknown evil force is ready to move, eager to break free from the constraints of the skin.

In front of this horrifying scene, all of Sheng Ruijiao's courage and reason collapsed in an instant. She felt her heart pounding and her blood seemed to freeze. Then her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.

When the palace servants saw this sudden change, they were thrown into chaos, with screams and running sounds mixed together.

The two brothers of the Sheng family, with expressions of horror on their faces, rushed desperately towards their parents, while Mrs. Sheng instinctively hid behind her husband, Minister Sheng, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes full of helplessness and panic.

The faces of Prince Xiaoyao and the Emperor turned pale at the same moment. The Emperor took a step and wanted to approach the Queen Mother who was surrounded by evil spirits, but Prince Xiaoyao stopped him with his hand: "Brother, the Queen Mother has always been surrounded by holy objects to ward off evil spirits. Why did she suffer such a disaster today?"

Faced with the Queen Mother's strange behavior, even King Xiaoyao, who was dissatisfied with Sheng Junwei, had to admit that an unusual evil spirit had indeed invaded his mother's body.

The emperor remained silent. The worry between his brows was like a heavy stone, pressing on his heart and making it hard to breathe.

Just as he was ordering Sheng Junwei to take action, Prince Xiaoyao suddenly pulled out a string of Buddhist beads that exuded a faint luster from his sleeve and said urgently, "This string of Buddhist beads was consecrated by the abbot of Huguo Temple himself. It is said that it can drive away all evil spirits and bless peace. I will use this to calm my mother down first. My brother, please send someone to invite the abbot to help as soon as possible."

After saying this, he did not give the emperor a chance to refute. He moved as lightly as a swallow and instantly came to the side of the empress dowager. He gently threw the Buddhist beads to her back, hoping to avert the danger.

However, the string of Buddhist beads that were said to possess extraordinary powers did not bring any change in the situation. Instead, it seemed to have touched a taboo and angered the evil spirit lurking in the Queen Mother.

The evil spirit suddenly jumped up and slapped King Xiaoyao heavily on the chest. The force was so great that he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. With a dull sound of broken bones, he fell heavily to the cold ground. He struggled in pain but could not move at all.

When the emperor witnessed this scene, his face turned pale in an instant. On the one hand, he called out "Mother", trying to arouse the remaining affection and reason in her heart, while on the other hand, he tightly protected Concubine Sheng beside him, preparing to escape from this hall filled with terror and despair.

Their actions seemed to have touched the evil spirit. The empress dowager's neck was twisted at an unnatural angle, and her bloodshot eyes stared at the emperor. The ominous red light seemed even more dazzling at this moment, burning everything around it.

An unprecedented chill surged in the emperor's heart, as if he was locked in the gaze of the underworld, and the breath of death was approaching silently.

At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly soared into the air, aiming directly at the Emperor.

At this moment, several guards rushed into the hall because of the loud noise. They drew their swords without hesitation, stepped forward and stood before the emperor and Concubine Sheng. Although their bodies were trembling, their eyes were shining with determination and loyalty, and they vowed to protect the monarch and queen to the death.

But in the face of this extraordinary force, their efforts seemed so pale and powerless. In a blink of an eye, those brave figures fell down one after another, unable to get up again.

There was a ruthless light flashing in the Queen Mother's eyes. This time, it seemed to have lost all its patience. It moved as fast as lightning, and no one could stop it.

Finally, it stood in front of the emperor, with its ferocious arms raised, ready to deliver a fatal blow, but its target was the most vulnerable Baihui point on the emperor's head. Once hit, the consequences would be disastrous!

It seemed that everyone present had no choice but to wait desperately for the tragedy to happen. The air was filled with the thick shadow of death, making it suffocating and depressing.

At this critical moment, a cold and distant female voice suddenly sounded: "King Xiaoyao, Minister Sheng, do you want to continue this farce?"

The sound was like a sound from outer space, clear and pleasant, which lifted the listeners' spirits.

But for King Xiaoyao and Minister Sheng, this voice was full of sarcasm and threats, directly striking at their inner weakness and insecurity.

Following this sudden question, everyone was shocked to see that the Queen Mother's hand hanging in the air seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

Behind this shocking scene, Sheng Junwei stood coldly among the crowd with an arrogant attitude.

But they had no choice. Faced with this urgent and dangerous situation, everyone felt like a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, so heavy that it made it hard to breathe.

The fact that he has the ability to make the Queen Mother curb her crazy behavior in an instant is enough to prove that his methods are unfathomable.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, every subtle movement they made and every word they uttered was like walking on the edge of a knife.

If they said something wrong and displeased this mysterious figure who held the power of life and death, and if he really stood by and watched, then if anything happened to the emperor, the heinous crime would undoubtedly weigh on their shoulders like a mountain, making it impossible for them to turn over a new leaf.

Not to mention, if the Queen Mother continues to lose control, the entire imperial city and even the country will fall into chaos and panic, which will be an unimaginable disaster.

Therefore, although the two were extremely reluctant in their hearts, they could only pretend to be calm on the surface, their teeth were clenched so hard that they could almost hear the sound of each other's teeth clenching. In the end, they almost uttered that word through gritted teeth: "Continue!"

Then, Sheng Junwei asked another soul-stirring question: "Am I a liar?"

Faced with such questioning, the two were speechless. Although they had thousands of rebuttals in their hearts, at this moment, they could only turn into awkward silence. In the end, they almost used up all their strength to squeeze out those two words: "...No!"

At this moment, if the surroundings were quieter, you might be able to hear their heartbeats quickening due to nervousness, and the subtle sounds of their teeth rubbing against each other.

Sheng Junwei nodded slightly, her hands dancing quickly, forming complex hand seals, and chanting ancient and mysterious spells.
