Why are you messing with her? Her mission is to bully the scumbag

After angering Shangguan and leaving, Ling Jinxing did not rush to act. He just stood there quietly, looking into the distance with deep eyes.

There is a cunning vixen hidden in this palace, and the Imperial Master must be the one who knows the truth but keeps silent.

Only the vixen and the imperial teacher knew the reason.

Not long after, Mingqiu hurried back, her face filled with confusion and unease. "Your Majesty, the matter of Concubine Ning is truly bizarre. I've searched through all the palace records, but haven't found a single mention of her. It's as if she appeared out of thin air. It's incredibly strange."

Ling Jinxing frowned slightly, only to hear Mingqiu continue in a deep voice: "That day, the palace servants all said that the emperor met Concubine Ning by chance in the long-abandoned Qiuyue Palace."

Mingqiu couldn't help but shudder, her face growing paler. "My Lady, every time I think of this, I feel a chill. That Concubine Ning seems... not an ordinary person!"

Ling Jinxing gently raised her hand, signaling Mingqiu not to panic. "It's okay. As long as we know its origins, others will sort out the rest. You can withdraw and continue to monitor the palace."

Mingqiu nodded respectfully and retreated.

On the other side, in the imperial concubine's bedroom, Shen Yue was lying lazily on the couch, wearing a purple long dress, like a blooming violet.

Upon hearing the maid's report, she sat up abruptly, a cold glint in her eyes. "You're saying that the Queen personally went to investigate Concubine Ning? And found no such person?"

Shen Yue and the Queen have always been at odds, but now both of them are being neglected by the Emperor. She has no other desire except to keep an eye on the Queen's movements.

The maid's voice trembled as she continued, "That's exactly what happened. Concubine Ning seemed to have fallen from the sky, and yesterday the Emperor suddenly fainted and has been in a coma ever since. The imperial physicians are helpless, but the Imperial Master says the Emperor was injured by evil spirits!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's eyes grew even colder, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth. "Humph, whether it's a human or a ghost, there must be an explanation. It seems that it's time to have a good talk with the Queen."

After saying that, Shen Yue stood up, straightened her clothes, and went towards Fengqi Palace.

Along the way, she walked hurriedly, but she was thinking in her mind how to use this incident to overthrow the queen and regain the emperor's favor.

But now, he no longer had the desire to fight, he just wanted to know what Ling Wanxu had found out.

Ling Jinxing was leaning on the bed, staring intently at the system screen in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, Ming Qiu rushed in in a panic, with a hint of urgency in her voice: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine suddenly requests an audience!"

When Ling Jinxing heard this, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Oh? That's strange. She would come to my Fengqi Palace on her own initiative. Please invite her in!"

The original owner and this imperial concubine have always been at odds with each other. It seems that this person has been paying attention to the developments in Fengqi Palace. It seems that he really wants to take action against the original owner!

As they were talking, Ling Jinxing slowly stood up, and Mingqiu walked forward attentively and carefully tied the belt of her outer robe for her.

The moment Shen Yue stepped into Fengqi Palace, she saw Ling Jinxing dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting dignifiedly, with an extraordinary aura.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. How are you these days? I hope you are well!" Shen Yue smiled, and the dimples on her face were faintly visible, adding a bit of charm to her.

However, behind that smile lies a hidden meaning.

Ling Jinxing smiled calmly, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Your Highness, your presence here today is surely not to reminisce about the past, is it? But rather, is it about the Ning Concubine's matter?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's smile faded slightly, and a subtle cold glint flashed in her eyes. "Your Majesty is truly brilliant and hit the nail on the head. Concubine Ning's sudden appearance and the Emperor's unconsciousness are truly bizarre. I am filled with doubts, and have come to seek Your Majesty's advice."

Ling Jinxing gently raised her hand, motioning Shen Yue to sit down. "Your Highness, there's no need to be polite. This matter has also concerned me. The Ning Concubine's affairs are indeed complicated and confusing, but I believe that the truth will eventually come to light. However, I wonder what your Highness's opinion is on this matter?"

A sly glint flashed in Shen Yue's eyes as she slowly spoke, "I believe this Concubine Ning is no good. Her appearance may be related to certain forces within the palace. Has your Majesty ever considered that this may be a carefully planned conspiracy?"

Ling Jinxing sneered inwardly upon hearing this, but remained expressionless. "Conspiracy? Your Highness is mistaken. Palace affairs are always complex and volatile, so conclusions cannot be drawn lightly. However, I will investigate the truth and restore peace to the palace."

"That's great. If you have any instructions, I will do my best to help." Shen Yue said, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She bowed slightly with both hands, as if offering her loyalty and determination. The letter of allegiance was already in Ling Jinxing's hand.

She thought to herself: The situation is unclear now. Going head-on with the Queen will only result in mutual destruction. What's more, Concubine Ning is full of tricks. If she takes advantage of her weakness, wouldn't that little bitch be in trouble? The overall situation is the most important thing. She, Shen Yue, naturally knows how to prioritize.

Seeing this, Ling Jinxing curled her lips into a meaningful smile, her eyes glittering with cunning. "Since you're so forthright, I won't hold back. It seems there's a secret relationship between the Imperial Preceptor and Concubine Ning. Would you be willing to investigate for me?"

Shen Yue's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she already understood the interests involved.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice firm and resolute: "Don't worry, sister. I will do my utmost to investigate this matter thoroughly and will not allow Concubine Ning to take advantage of any opportunity."

After saying that, Shen Yue turned and left.

Ling Jinxing's lips curled up into a playful smile, secretly thinking that she couldn't miss this wonderful show, especially since the Queen Mother had already come to the Imperial Study. How could she not go and see the excitement? "Mingqiu, quickly fetch that thousand-year-old blood ginseng and follow me to the Imperial Study."

There was an unquestionable authority in her words. Although Mingqiu was confused, he did not dare to ask more questions and could only respond and leave.

Outside the imperial study, the atmosphere was so heavy that water could almost turn into ice.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, afraid of any mishap. Inside the room, the Empress Dowager's scolding echoed like thunder. "You good-for-nothings! The Emperor is so ill, and you can't even find the cause. What's the point of keeping you around?" Her voice was sharp and angry, carrying an unyielding pressure.

The imperial doctors looked at each other in dismay, all of them feeling extremely miserable.

One of the older doctors mustered up the courage and spoke in a trembling voice, "Empress Dowager, please calm down. This matter is indeed strange. We have tried our best, but we still cannot find out the reason why the emperor is in a coma." His voice was full of helplessness and fear.

At this time, an old and mysterious voice slowly sounded, carrying a certain majesty and depth: "Empress Dowager, perhaps as the Imperial Preceptor said, the Emperor has been injured by the evil spirit, and therefore has fallen into a coma. The evil spirit came from a strange and unpredictable source. Only by asking the Imperial Preceptor for help can we find the source of the evil spirit and relieve the Emperor's predicament."

"Your Majesty, I think so too. The Emperor is unconscious for no apparent reason. Everyone in the palace should be thoroughly investigated!"
