Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

This time, Mo Mingkong held Ting He's hand tightly and said, "Let me go with you. The Queen Mother's Palace has a complicated terrain. I once went there when I was a child and was brought out by the Queen Mother's maid."

Mo Mingkong grabbed Ting He's sleeve tightly. He didn't have any of the majestic and vicious temperament of the Nine Thousand Years Old that he had during the day. Instead, he looked like a spoiled little puppy, pleasing to the eye.

Ting He sighed helplessly and put an invisibility charm on him, then took his hand and said, "Since you insist on going together, then let's go together."

As they spoke, the two of them teleported to the sky above the Empress Dowager's palace. Looking at the three large characters "Cining Palace" hanging high in the sky, they both collected their thoughts and began to wander around the Empress Dowager's palace.

In the Queen Mother's palace, the two of them were walking cautiously towards the inner hall, and suddenly they heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Ting He immediately pulled Mo Mingkong behind a screen. A maid came in with a bowl of medicine and placed it beside the Queen Mother's bed. The Queen Mother looked sick and took the bowl of medicine and drank it.

Mo Mingkong's eyes lit up, and he motioned Ting He to follow the maid. The two quietly followed her out of the bedroom and stopped the maid in a secluded corner. Mo Mingkong showed the token, and the maid collapsed to the ground in fear.

"Tell me, what happened to the Queen Mother?" Mo Mingkong's voice was cold.

"The... the Empress Dowager... has contracted a strange disease, and the imperial doctors are helpless..." said the palace maid tremblingly.

Ting He's heart moved. Could this be the clue she was looking for? She carefully observed the maid and found that her expression was a little abnormal. Ting He reached out and grabbed the maid's wrist. A dark spiritual power entered the maid's body. After a moment, Ting He's face became solemn.

"You have been poisoned by a poisonous insect." Ting He said in a deep voice.

The maid looked at Ting He in horror, "I...I don't know...please, sir, save me..."

Ting He took out a pill from her bosom and gave it to her, asking the maid to take it. After a while, the maid spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Tell me, who poisoned the Queen Mother?" Mo Mingkong pressed.

"Yes...it's the Imperial Concubine..." the maid said weakly.

Mo Mingkong and Tinghe looked at each other, wondering where the imperial concubine came from in the Great Yong Dynasty?

The maid said, it turns out that there was a noble concubine in the Yong Dynasty. Her identity was unknown, but she was beautiful and ruthless, and was especially favored by the current emperor. Moreover, she not only poisoned the emperor, but also poisoned the empress dowager. She was discovered when she poisoned the emperor and the empress, and was then directly imprisoned in the cold palace by the emperor. Although she is not dead now, she is also crazy.

"We must rush to the Queen Mother as soon as possible to observe the situation, otherwise it will be too late and the Queen Mother's life might be in danger." Ting He said.

Mo Mingkong nodded, "I will send someone to the cold palace to investigate the imperial concubine. The most important thing at this moment is the empress dowager."

The two decided to go back to the house to discuss countermeasures. Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard a scream.

"Oh no, something happened to the Queen Mother!" Upon hearing this, Mo Mingkong and Ting He hurried to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The two rushed into the bedroom, only to see the Queen Mother's face pale and foaming at the mouth. Ting He hurried forward to check and found that the Queen Mother's pulse was extremely disordered. "This is the symptom of the poisonous insect attack."

Ting He said, "We must treat her immediately." Mo Mingkong frowned, "What should we do? If the poison is not removed in time, the Queen Mother will be in danger." Ting He pondered for a moment, "I have a treatment method, it will only take a moment, but we need to knock the Queen Mother unconscious first and then remove the poison for her."

After she finished speaking, she flashed and revealed her invisibility talisman. Mo Mingkong looked at the empress dowager who was only breathing her last breath, and he was extremely anxious. He wanted to ask the empress dowager how much she knew about the previous dynasty. He even swore in his heart that he must find out who was behind this as soon as possible.

Mo Mingkong immediately made a decision and hit the Queen Mother on the back of her neck with a palm, and the Queen Mother fainted instantly. Ting He immediately used his dark spiritual power to perform the Gu-removal technique, allowing the mother Gu to devour the Gu worms in the Queen Mother's body. With a few slight "puff" sounds, several black Gu worms crawled out of the Queen Mother's mouth and were swallowed by the mother Gu waiting on the side.

"The Queen Mother is fine for now." Ting He breathed a sigh of relief, "But she still needs some time to recuperate before she can recover."

Mo Mingkong looked at the unconscious Queen Mother with a trace of worry in his eyes. "I didn't expect things to develop like this... We have to speed up and find out the reason why the previous dynasty fell as soon as possible, so that Mo Mingkong can resolve his worries as soon as possible. This way, you can help the Queen to secure her position without distractions."

"Well, let's check it out together." Ting He nodded, "However, we still have to be careful about the harem. As for the imperial concubine, it's time to take a look in person."

After discussing it, the two decided to send someone to the cold palace to closely monitor the movements of the crazy imperial concubine and secretly investigate the forces behind her. At the same time, they would also send someone to protect the queen mother's safety to prevent her from being threatened again, and then come back to question her after she is well again.

Then, they left the Queen Mother's palace. Mo Mingkong looked into the distance thoughtfully, "It seems that there are still many secrets hidden in the palace of the Great Yong Dynasty." Ting He said softly, "Well, I feel the same way. It seems that we need to speed up our pace."

Under the cover of night, the two figures gradually walked away.

When I arrived at the cold palace, the imperial concubine was mumbling something crazily.

Mo Mingkong and Tinghe walked into the cold palace, and the imperial concubine suddenly stopped whispering and looked at them straight.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The imperial concubine's voice was sharp and piercing.

Ting He walked forward and tried to communicate with the Imperial Concubine. "Imperial Concubine, we are here to investigate the Queen Mother's poisoning. I heard that this matter is related to you, and I hope you can cooperate with us."

The imperial concubine suddenly laughed, and her laughter echoed in the cold palace, making people's hair stand on end. "Hahahaha, do you think I will tell you? Don't dream!"

Mo Mingkong's eyes turned cold, "If you don't accept my toast, then I'll drink a penalty!" He waved his hand and was about to step forward to restrain the imperial concubine.

When the imperial concubine saw this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness. "Who dares to touch me? I'm the imperial concubine!"

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the imperial concubine suddenly seemed to be controlled by something, and her body began to tremble involuntarily. Her eyes turned a strange red, and she muttered something.

Ting He realized something was wrong and quickly stepped back. "Be careful, she might be controlled by some kind of evil magic! But how can there be such evil magic in this world? It shouldn't be possible."

At this time, a puff of black smoke came out of the imperial concubine's body and condensed into a human figure. Mo Mingkong and Ting He looked closely and found that it was a man with a pale face.

"You interrupted my spellcasting and ruined my good deeds!" the man said viciously.

Ting He sneered, "So it's you who's behind this! Who are you and why are you manipulating the imperial concubine?"
