In the Jinyiwei office, Xie Xiaohu hurried towards the conference room. When he arrived at the door of the conference room, he saw Cong Kai pacing back and forth with an uneasy look on his face.

Seeing Xie Xiaohu coming over, he hurriedly went to greet him: "Xie Zongqi, what do you think happened to our master? He has been staying in the meeting room for the past two days, not wanting to eat or drink, and not even leaving the house. Why do I look at him as if he is worried?"

Xie Xiaohu nodded, feeling the same way. There was indeed something wrong with the master these past two days, but he seemed to have known something.

"General Xie, do you think it might be because of Princess Fengyang's marriage?" Cong Kai asked. Hasn't it been rumored that the Lord likes Princess Fengyang?

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xie Xiaohu looked around and warned, "Don't say such things anymore. Princess Fengyang is already the confirmed Crown Princess of Yue. If you say such things again, watch out for your head!"

Xie Xiaohu looked around the room, tapped Cong Kai on the head, and said, "You said you followed the master for so long in vain. Can't you see who the master likes and who he doesn't like? I tell you, the master has no feelings for Princess Fengyang at all."

"Then... who does the master like?" Cong Kai scratched his head.

"Figure it out yourself," Xie Xiaohu ignored him and went up to knock on the door.

"Thank you, General Qi!" Cong Kai pulled Xie Xiaohu back again: "Go in and ask for us where Jindou has been these days. Your Excellency has been in a bad mood these past two days, and we didn't dare to ask. We haven't seen Jindou these days, and we really miss him." Cong Kai laughed.

Cong Kai and Jin Dou get along very well. Ever since Jin Dou taught Cong Kai how to play poker, the two of them would seize the opportunity to play a few rounds whenever Cong Kai has nothing to do. Jin Dou has been nowhere to go these past few days, and Cong Kai is so anxious that he is scratching his head and cheeks. He wants to ask their adults several times, but seeing that the adults look in a bad mood, he never dares to speak.

Is this guy a fool? Xie Xiaohu turned around and hit Cong Kai on the head again: "You'd better not say these words in front of adults, otherwise, you will really lose your head."

After saying that, Xie Xiaohu knocked on the door and entered the room. He was immediately startled by their master who was sitting behind the desk. In just a few days, the master had lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, this time their master was not stunned. When he saw him come in, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sir, the secret guard said that they arrived in the capital yesterday," said Xie Xiaohu.

Wei Qing nodded. He didn't know whether the golden beans could save the Queen of Yue. He just hoped that everything would go well for him and he could come back soon.

However, Wei Qing thought again that Jindou was so heartless, and he was probably staying over there with the Crown Prince of Yue State to accompany him and be treated to good food and drink. He was probably enjoying himself so much that he didn't want to come back. When he thought of this, Wei Qing couldn't help but have a bitter look on his face.

In the Kingdom of Yue, late at night, in the temple, in the Queen's room.

Jindou asked the nanny beside the Queen to help the Queen up, then Jindou sat cross-legged opposite the Queen, holding a bright yellow talisman between his fingers and writing a few words on it with his other hand. After writing, he put the talisman into a container and began to chant a spell.

In the container, the talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, and after the incantation was finished, the talisman was completely burned to ashes.

Jindou asked the nanny to add ashes and water to feed the Queen, and then recited the spell again. The Queen suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm as black as ink.

As the thick phlegm was spit out, the gray lines above the Queen's eyes and the gray line at the philtrum below her nose immediately disappeared, and her eyes became clear.

She slowly glanced around, and finally fixed her eyes on Jing Yu. She called out weakly and anxiously, "My son."

"Mother!" Jing Yu knelt excitedly beside the Queen's bed. It had been more than a year since his mother became mentally ill, and now his mother finally recognized him again.

Nanny Li, who was standing nearby, also knelt down and cried out in tears, "Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother turned her gaze to Matron Li and called out, "Matron."

"Oh, oh... Your Majesty, you finally recognized me," Li Ma choked.

At the same time, just as the Queen was spitting out the thick phlegm, Taoist Wuwang, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly in his room, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He sat up abruptly and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff".

Taoist Wuwang clutched his chest, his expression painful as he gasped for air. After a moment, his eyes widened as he muttered in disbelief, "The Twin Curse was actually triggered... How is this possible?"

Taoist Wuwang knew something was wrong and was struggling to get out of bed when he saw the door being pushed open silently. Two men in black rushed in, knocked Taoist Wuwang unconscious with a punch, and carried him out.

When Taoist Wuwang woke up, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room. He was about to turn over and sit up when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He couldn't help howling and rolled on the ground.

Jing Yu looked at the old Taoist rolling on the ground with an expressionless face. It was not until the old Taoist's severe pain eased a little and he stopped rolling that he said, "Master Wuwang, you harmed my mother, and now you are reaping the consequences. Are you satisfied?"

Taoist Wuwang knew that the matter had been exposed, so he crawled to Jing Yu's side, prostrated himself and said, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I was bewitched by the Imperial Concubine and attacked the Empress...ah...ah..."

Another wave of severe pain came, and the twin curses merged into one, transforming into an evil spirit in the body, running around madly, stirring up trouble in the body and making Taoist Wuwang suffer from excruciating pain.

Taoist Wuwang rolled back and forth on the ground in pain. He knew that he had encountered a master who could break the curse. Now, only this master could save him. Otherwise, he would be torn apart by the evil spirits in his body and die in great pain.

Thinking of this tragic scene, Taoist Wuwang trembled all over and struggled to crawl to Jing Yu's feet: "Your Highness, please spare my life. Please save me. I am willing to serve you like an ox or a horse, and serve you like a dog or a horse!"

Jing Yu looked at the Taoist Wuwang begging at his feet with disgust and kicked him away: "You used evil spells to harm my mother, you deserve to die. Why should I save you?"

Taoist Wuwang endured the severe pain in his stomach and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can save my life, I am willing to accuse the Imperial Concubine of attempting to kill the Empress and seize the throne before the Emperor."

"Okay, I'll trust you this time," Jing Yu looked down at the Taoist priest and said, "You'd better do as you say, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death!"

Taoist Wuwang kowtowed like pounding garlic: "I dare not, I dare not!"
