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

Soon, a loud shout broke the tense atmosphere: "Evil creature, retreat quickly!"

Along with this shout, the Queen Mother let out a heart-wrenching wail. She was like a puppet whose strings had been cut. She instantly lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, a wisp of dark black smoke rose from the Queen Mother's body and rushed towards the blue sky.

However, just as the cloud of black smoke was about to disappear into the sky, a talisman shining with a golden glow appeared like a divine weapon from heaven, rising into the air as fast as lightning. The golden light on the surface of the talisman was dazzling, and in just a moment, the pervasive black fog was completely swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.

Behind this thrilling contest, when the empress dowager was about to hit the ground, Sheng Junwei, who was supposed to be dozens of steps away, teleported to the center of the hall, stretched her body, bent down flexibly and hugged the empress dowager's waist. With incredible speed and precision, she saved the elderly royal family from a tragedy that would cast a shadow on her later life.

After all, for the empress dowager who was nearly sixty years old, any accidental fall could be fatal, and many seemingly strong old people often quickly decline after a fall.

In a trance, the empress dowager slowly opened her eyes, with a bit of confusion and puzzlement in her eyes. Her gaze quickly swept across Sheng Junwei's face, and her lips slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something, but her weak body and exhausted strength made her unable to utter even a syllable, and she fell into a coma again.

The emperor was still in shock, his eyes showing both relief at having survived the catastrophe and deep worry for his mother: "Doctor Sheng, how is the queen mother doing?"

Sheng Junwei gently placed the Queen Mother's body on the bed. "The evil spirit has been removed. Although the Queen Mother looks weak due to her old age, she is no longer in danger of death. She only needs careful care and she will recover naturally in due time."

After a brief pause, he added: "Getting more sun exposure on a daily basis will also be beneficial to her recovery."

When the emperor heard this, he felt a little relieved and immediately ordered the imperial medical team to come and take the empress dowager's pulse and prescribe medicine.

The imperial doctors were busy examining and treating the empress dowager, while on the other side, the emperor had already begun to deal with the follow-up matters caused by this incident.

"You colluded with assassins and tried to murder the empress dowager under the name of a miracle doctor. Your entire family worked together and tried to deceive me... Lord Sheng, you are really brave." The emperor's words were sharp and every word was heart-wrenching.

Upon hearing this, Lord Sheng trembled and fell to the ground with weak knees. He quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not deceive Your Majesty! I was also deceived by the liar's disguise!"

Madam Sheng also knelt down hurriedly, her voice full of pleading: "Your Majesty is very perceptive. This matter has nothing to do with us. Five years ago, the puppy was indeed reborn because of his treatment. That's why we believe in him!"

In this tense atmosphere, Concubine Sheng finally couldn't suppress her inner panic.

She knew very well that once Lord Sheng lost power, her position as a favored concubine supported by her family's power would also be shaky...

In the court, power is intertwined, and in the depths of the harem, emotions are entangled. Since ancient times, the relationship between the two has been tightly intertwined like a vine, sharing glory and going through hardships together.

"Your Majesty, everyone in and outside the court has heard about your highness' mental problems, and it is true. The change five years ago caused the entire capital to boil over it. What Lord Sheng said is indeed based on evidence, and perhaps there are still some unsolved mysteries."

Prime Minister Pei spoke slowly with a calm tone and far-reaching gaze.

On the side, the ministers looked at each other in confusion, the atmosphere was tense, and Lord Sheng was so excited that he could not express it in words.

He secretly made up his mind that he would repay this kindness a hundredfold in the future and deepen the alliance with Prime Minister Pei's residence.

At this moment, Prime Minister Pei changed the subject, his words implying a deep meaning: "Although the Sheng family's actions almost put the Queen Mother in danger, their original intention was to care deeply about the Queen Mother. In order to cure the Queen Mother's stubborn illness, they took the risk and rescued Madam Zheng Sanshao from prison, pinning their hopes on her medical skills. Such behavior is indeed courageous and loyal."

When the ministers heard this, they all had their own thoughts in their minds, and for a while, they started to discuss it.

These words seemed comforting on the surface, but in fact they cleverly exposed the Sheng family's attempt to abuse their power for personal gain and take advantage of the royal crisis to save their family members. Their intentions were obvious.

The Queen Mother's illness has not been cured, but has caused more chaos, and even implicated Prince Xiaoyao as an innocent victim. The complexity of the situation is really sad.

Minister Sheng felt heavy-hearted and gloomy, and he was filled with regret: "After all, I misjudged the situation and made the wrong move!"

The emperor's face was as cold as iron, and he angrily shouted: "The Sheng family is so stubborn that their crime is unforgivable. They will be punished twice as severely! Come, execute them immediately!"

Mrs. Sheng saw that the situation was not good and was extremely anxious. She called out her daughter's name anxiously: "Wei'er, Wei'er, please speak quickly! We are a family that shares the same honor and disgrace!"

Sheng Junwei had just saved the emperor and solved the problem of monsters by her own efforts. Her words and actions were extremely important in the eyes of the emperor at this moment.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, a hint of sneer flashed across her face in an instant, and then her eyelids drooped, as if she couldn't bear the burden and suddenly fainted.

This sudden action is both reasonable and intriguing - isn't it normal for people to be extremely weak after being overworked?

Pei Yu was worried about Sheng Junwei and wanted to go forward to help, but was quickly stopped by Zhang. The latter's eyes revealed confusion and she was amazed at her rapid improvement in skills.

Pei Yu, on the other hand, stood there in a daze, with a bewildered look on his face.

When the emperor saw that Sheng Junwei was unconscious due to weakness, he felt pity for her and temporarily put aside the punishment of the Sheng family. He ordered that the two be placed in separate places for recuperation while he continued to settle the aftermath of the Sheng family.

"Minister Sheng and his entire family have no respect for the emperor and have ulterior motives. They should be executed according to the law! All of them should be taken to the execution ground!"

……

Sheng Junwei slept for a while before slowly waking up.

Although the evil creature was not a trivial one, she was able to deal with it with ease due to her experience accumulated from two lifetimes as a human being, and the spiritual energy consumed was almost negligible.

But she knew very well that in the eyes of the world, fighting against evil spirits was often extremely dangerous and would result in injury or disability. Her relaxed response would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Is this evil spirit really as terrifying as the legend says, or are her abilities so beyond common sense that they are unbelievable?

In this palace of power and conspiracy, every step must be taken with caution. If you are not careful, you may end up in no return.

In the tranquil and slightly solemn room, an ancient altar was quietly set up, surrounded by a faint scent of incense, allowing the outside world to glimpse the deep meaning behind it.
