Everyone was frightened by her cold tone, especially the eunuchs surrounding her. They felt a chill from head to toe. They didn't know whether to advance or retreat. They looked at each other in bewilderment and could only turn to look at Nanny Fang.

Only the palace maid standing in the front had a look of disdain on her face, "Princess Zhuo is indeed eloquent, but it's a pity, we are the Empress Dowager's people, and we are immune to all evil. The princess' lies can't scare me!" After saying that, she swung her right hand towards Shen Yu, wanting only to avenge the last slap. Yes, she was Xianxian who was slapped by Shen Yue in Zhuo's mansion that day.

"what!!!!!!!"

With a cry of pain, the palace maid's hand instantly caught fire before it touched Shen Yu's cheek, and the blue flames spread along her sleeve and reached her shoulder.

"Help! Ah! Help!!" The fire was so fierce that the palace maids fell to the ground and rolled over in fear. The shouts of the crowd and the smell of burnt cloth instantly filled the entire imperial garden.

Several eunuchs took turns using clothes and brooms to put out the strange blue fire, but they were unable to do so. It was so strange that all the noble ladies who participated in the palace banquet today stepped back in shock, with only one thought in their minds: Could it really be a backlash? !

"Hurry! Jump into the lake!" Someone reminded me, and I saw the palace maid with half of her body burning with blue flames, jumping into the lake not far away.

Suddenly, they heard her shrill scream again, and everyone looked forward out of curiosity.

She kept struggling in the lake, but there was still a small flame burning stubbornly on the water, like an arrogant blue dancer jumping in the lake. The maid could not get rid of the blue fire no matter what, and everyone on the shore was horrified.

The sky suddenly turned gloomy, the sunlight was covered by clouds, and the whole imperial garden was shrouded in a heavy oppression. The air seemed to be frozen. No one dared to speak anymore, and everyone tried to minimize their presence.

There was silence all around, with only the gurgling sound of the lake and the panicked cries of the palace maids.

"This... this is... the blue demonic fire? Is it really a backlash?" Shen Yue fearlessly spoke out what everyone was thinking.

The Queen Mother was also frightened and upset by this sudden change. She stared at Shen Yu, her phoenix eyes filled with a sickly dark light, but there was no longer the disdain she had before, and there was even a bit more fear.

Guyu, who had just been stopped by the princess, looked in shock at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl beside him. She couldn't even see his skills clearly, so she wondered when she had made the move.

Shen Yu remained calm, but the way people looked at her had changed.

Everyone saw clearly that the palace maid's hand caught fire the moment it was waved, and it did not touch Princess Zhuo at all. It seemed that there was an invisible force protecting the princess. Moreover, this strange fire was actually blue. This... is too bizarre!

Only Shen Yu himself understood that this was just a little trick. Knowing that entering the palace was dangerous, he had already prepared some bottles and jars.

The palace maid had been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time. The high temperature on the surface of her clothes, coupled with the chemical reaction of a little phosphorus powder, could instantly ignite. This kind of fire could not be extinguished by ordinary objects, but the water source here was close enough and the lake was deep enough, so the fire would only stay on the surface of the clothes. As long as the fire did not touch her body, the palace maid would be safe.

She just wanted to scare people, not kill them.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

A sharp and piercing voice rang out, breaking the eerie tranquility of the Imperial Garden.

A yellow robe appeared among the crowd, and everyone knelt down instinctively, "Your Highness," but no one could recover from the shock just now.

"Be flat!"

Shen Yu looked up and saw Lu Yingxing following behind the emperor, looking at him with half-closed peach blossom eyes.

【Lu! ! Should! ! Go! ! 】

[You are dead! Yellow card warning 100 times!!!]

[Knowing that this old witch existed, you still asked me to enter the palace! ! ]

After hearing this, his smile deepened. A spring breeze blew by, and the two of them looked at each other from a distance, their eyes filled with emotions that others could not understand.

Shen Yu didn't know that Lu Yingxing could hear her inner voice. She only saw him smiling more and more charmingly at her. She thought he was mentally ill. Why was he still pretending to be in love at this time? !

I won’t serve you!! I just rolled my eyes at him!! Then I complained even more crazily in my heart!!

The interaction between the two was seen by the young girl standing beside the Queen Mother, who looked at each other with deep affection. She tightly grasped the hand hidden under her sleeve and lowered her head to suppress the jealousy and unwillingness in her eyes.

"Your Highness, Queen Mother... Queen,"

At this time, a group of people walked into the Imperial Garden. The gorgeous white palace dress with pearls made Concubine Dong look even more charming. She glanced at the palace servants who were staggering here and there, and the palace maid who was going crazy in the water, "Hey! Queen, what new things are you doing at this Spring Flower Banquet?"

No one answered, but everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at the girl whose figure in the garden suddenly became taller.

Shen Yu, "…………" rolled her eyes silently in her heart. Okay, all the monsters and demons in the palace have gathered. Can she start summoning the dragon?

Following everyone's gaze, the emperor seemed to have found the source of the chaos, "Princess Zhuo? Would you like to explain to me what is going on here?"

She was the source of all the troubles time and again... The emperor's voice was slightly displeased, and he waved to Concubine Dong. The group walked to the pavilion where the empress dowager and her family sat down. Seeing how intimate the two were, the empress's decent smile became even more pronounced, but her eyes were dead silent.

Lu Yingxing consciously stood beside his wife and gave her a look that said "don't worry, I'm here for you".

And in Shen Yu's eyes, this was definitely a look of "gloating".

[You bastard, I'll deal with you later!!]

"Your Majesty, perhaps the weather is too hot...she couldn't help but want to play in the water?" Shen Yu looked sincere and was not joking at all.

Lu Yingxing looked at his wife lovingly, with a smile unconsciously appearing on the corners of his mouth. Yu'er must be talking nonsense again.

Everyone: “………………” We also knew that she was talking nonsense, but we didn’t dare to say anything.

“Mother, please don’t…I don’t want to be burned to death, wuwuwu…”

There was a younger lady at the scene who finally couldn't help crying and shouting out of fright. Only then did everyone come to their senses. Some of them sat down on the ground with weak legs, and some of them had eyes full of fear, all of them afraid that they would be the next person to be burned by the evil fire.

"Who among you can tell me, what is the burning to death?"

The emperor suddenly released his coercive power, his eyes sweeping across everyone present. When his eyes swept over them, Shen Yue, who had just watched the blue flames burning up close, finally collapsed under the double pressure of the demonic fire and the emperor's death warning. She fell to the ground with weak legs, muttering, "Your Majesty, it's the blue demonic fire... it's the backlash... it's the queen mother... she... it's the backlash of the heavenly hexagram... she..."

"Snapped!"

Nanny Fang rushed forward and slapped Shen Yue on the cheek, "How dare you slander the Queen Mother in public? What crime should you be punished for!"

"Someone, take her away!" The Queen Mother responded immediately. It turned out that Shen Yue was more of a hindrance than a help.

"Wait a minute!"
