Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Meng Xiang frowned, but did not argue.

After all, they still have great respect for these capable masters. Otherwise, they would not allow their wives to indulge in burning incense and worshiping Buddha without doing anything about it.

Emperor Sheng An then said, "Then let your maid calculate where the evil object is buried, so that my imperial guards won't have to run around like headless flies!"

Old Madam Du winked at the maid, and she began to chant some incantations in a serious manner.

She turned around with her eyes closed, then stared wide-eyed at the lotus pond and said, "Evil creatures become more powerful when they encounter water. It will sink to the bottom!"

The Queen urged sharply, "Li Youde, you must personally lead your men to search the lotus pond. If they can't find her, you will be held responsible!"

Li Youde immediately ordered the Royal Guards who could swim to dive in. After about an incense stick of time had passed, someone finally shouted in surprise, "Found it!"

The Queen's expression suddenly changed. She glared at Lin Yiwan angrily, "How could you actually do such a wicked thing? How could I have wronged you? Tell me, how could I have wronged you?"

She rushed over excitedly and wanted to slap Lin Yiwan, but she gently grabbed her wrist.

Taking advantage of this gap, she immediately took the Queen's pulse and found that she showed no signs of poisoning.

She couldn't help but feel confused. This was a bit strange. Why did the queen suddenly become so abnormal?

Before she could figure it out, the queen had already broken free from her grip, pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into her throat.

There was a chill in Prince Li's eyes. If the stab was accurate, Wanwan would surely die on the spot.

He tried to stop it quickly, but he was not as fast as Emperor Sheng An.

He grabbed the queen and took back the golden hairpin from her hand.

Because the queen used all her strength, the golden hairpin still injured Emperor Sheng An's arm. The bright red blood flowed out, and in an instant she regained consciousness.

She cried out in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, how are you? Why did you stop me? I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Emperor Sheng'an frowned tightly. Regardless of whether the queen was controlled or she did it voluntarily, she had already caused Lin Yiwan to suffer injustice by coming to the Li Palace to cause trouble.

If she stabbed someone again, she would completely offend Prince Li's Mansion.

He must not sit idly by!

He said in a serious tone, "I'm fine. It's just a few minor injuries. I'll just bandage them up later. Let's see what we fished out first."

Madam Du fell to her knees and cried out, "Your Majesty, the creature we fished out must be an evil creature. You must not favor this evil woman. She committed a grave crime by murdering the heir to the throne. Prince Li is also responsible for protecting her. Her family is plotting rebellion and coveting the imperial power!"

Lin Yiwan glared at her with a look of mockery: "Madam Du, the box hasn't even been opened yet, how can you be so sure it's evil? Do you know what's inside?"

Madam Du's throat choked up at the question. She argued with a pale face, "I didn't put it there, so how could I know what was inside? It's just that anything that can be put in a black box must be something bad. As long as you open it, you will be blamed!"

Lin Yiwan turned to look at Li Youde and said, "Commander Li, please open it quickly. I cannot bear the charge of using evil magic to murder the heir to the throne!"

Li Youde pried open the black box as instructed, but found nothing inside.

He waved it towards everyone and said, "Empty!"

Madam Du's originally smug smile froze on her face. How could it be empty? It should clearly contain the birth dates of the two little princes.

What is going on here?

She turned to look at the maid, who also had a look of surprise on her face.

She subconsciously said, "Did I find the wrong one? Is there another black box like this in the lotus pond?"

Li Youde said disdainfully: "No, we have searched every inch of it. If you don't believe me, you can go down and look for it yourself!"

The maid bit her lip. She didn't want to go look for him herself. It was so cold, she would be frozen to death or crippled.

Emperor Sheng An had already spoken: "Madam Du, you and your maidservant must have seen clearly that this black box is empty. Therefore, the idea that an evil object borrowed your fortune is pure slander. Do you have any final words to say?"

Madam Du knelt and cried, "Your Majesty, my maid would not have made a wrong deduction. They must have received the news of the raid in advance, so they destroyed the evil things first. Please, Your Majesty, please investigate and don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

Emperor Sheng An was so angry that he laughed. How dare this old bitch quibble?

He said in a deep voice: "What? Are you saying that I have informed Prince Li about this? You are so bold!"

Madam Du shook her head vigorously: "I dare not. I only hope that Your Majesty can understand that I am wholeheartedly concerned about the Empress's two little princes. I love her so much!"

At this time, the maid quickly walked up to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, please plead for us. At first, we were just guessing, but you kept asking for the truth, so we had no choice but to tell you. Although the result is a little different now, the black box still exists!"

When the queen met her eyes, she felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the maid held her tightly, preventing her from falling headfirst to the ground.

She stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I want to save their lives. No matter what was in the black box, they are all doing this for the good of our child. Your Majesty, please!"

Emperor Sheng An looked at the Empress in disbelief: "You knew that the Emperor's uncle was wronged, yet you still wanted to protect them? Empress, do you know what you are saying?"

The Queen nodded heavily: "I understand, I beg you to grant my permission!"

Emperor Sheng An turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "Tell her the truth, so that she won't be kept in the dark and used by villains!"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "Zi'er, cast the net and catch the fish!"

As she finished her words, a large net appeared and covered Madam Du and her maids.

When Zi'er hung them on the tree, they screamed, "What are you doing? Madam Hou, how can you resort to lynching? Who gave you the right?"

Prince Li said coldly, "This is what I gave you. You barbarian spies dared to frame me. You are really courting death!"

Madam Du's face turned pale with anxiety. She argued in fear, "Prince Li, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. How could we be spies? My son is working hard to guard the border. As the current prince, how could you misunderstand his most respected mother like this?"

Several old imperial censors also spoke up: "Your Highness, the term spies is not just random talk. Do you have any evidence?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of pride appeared on Mrs. Du's face. She was sure that Prince Li was just making random guesses and he had absolutely no evidence.
