Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Zhou Huiyue pulled Su Heting to a corner.

She bent down to move the chest of drawers on the ground, but Su Heting held her back and said, "I'll do it."

Zhou Huiyue smiled and instructed him, "Move to the left."

The chest of drawers was moved away, she squatted down, pulled out a hairpin from her head, and inserted it into the gap between the bricks. As she exerted force, the brick was pried out.

After digging in the soil for a while, Zhou Huiyue took out a wooden box.

She opened the wooden box and took out the contents, which was exactly what Su Heting had been looking for, the jade seal that could be used to summon the ghost army together with Yuchan.

“Before your royal grandfather died, he gave me two jade seals, one real and one fake.

The real jade seal was meant for the crown prince, but he was still young at that time, so the late emperor entrusted it to me for safekeeping, and would give it to him when he came of age or was in danger.

I hid this thing in the prince's bedroom, and I always kept the fake one with me.

I didn't know the use of this thing before. Later, when you got into trouble, I wanted to avenge you. Yi Qing revealed to me the matter of summoning the ghost army, and then I knew the true purpose of the jade seal.

And that fake jade seal is now in Yi Qing's hands..."

Having said this, she couldn't continue. She was really stupid.

Yi Qing told her that the royal jade seal and the Qiao family jade seal could be combined to summon the ghost army, and that when he took her away from the imperial mausoleum, he also took away her buried jade seal. She never doubted him.

She deserved to be deceived by Yi Qing.

Fortunately, she remembered the words of the late emperor that the matter of the jade seal should not be revealed, so she did not tell Yi Qing.

She didn't want to recall her own stupidity, so she said to Su Heting, "When I died of illness, the Emperor and Yu Yan took turns guarding me. I couldn't find a chance to tell your brother about this, so I fell into a coma.

Now that he is gone, I will give this thing to you. I hope you can summon the ghost army to protect the peace of the world for your royal grandfather and grandfather-in-law, and most importantly, protect your own safety.

As for how to use this thing, your royal grandfather said that you can find out by finding the Qiao family's jade cicada."

Yi Qing will not let her go.

It's not just love, but also that person's paranoia.

Now that she has returned to Dayou, Yi Qing will definitely make trouble for He'er and try to bring her back.

She would never go back.

Su Heting took out the jade seal from the box, and took out the jade cicada that Qiao Xi gave him before leaving Beijing from his chest.

When the jade cicada was inserted into the hollow belly of the jade seal, something was spit out from the sheep's mouth carved above the jade seal.

Su Heting hurriedly caught it with his hand. It was a small rolled-up piece of paper. He put the jade seal back into the box and unfolded the paper.

The paper recorded the specific method of summoning the ghost army. Just as the old man said, it did not require the blood of the male heirs of the two families.

Zhou Huiyue also saw the content clearly and was overwhelmed with emotions.

Back then, she remembered the late emperor's regard for the Qiao family and the jade seal he left for the prince, and needed the Qiao family's jade cicada. After learning that the entire Qiao family had died in the war, she tried her best to promote the marriage between Qiao Xi and the prince.

But later she was drugged to fake her death, and everything happened unexpectedly. She didn't have time to tell the prince about the golden seal, and later the prince also got into trouble.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Qiao Xi finally became Su Heting's wife and gave the jade cicada to him.

It can be seen that Qiao Xi really trusts Su Heting, perhaps this is God's will.

She burned the paper over the candle flame.

Su Heting asked, "How much does mother know about the ghost army?"

He had been investigating the truth behind the murder of Fubao's family and the whereabouts of Ayan, and finally got some clues a few days ago.

The man in black that Asong rescued and brought home that year was indeed Tong Lai, one of the old man’s four disciples.

They found out that Tong Lai appeared nearby on the day Asong's family was murdered. Afterwards, Fubao was adopted by his uncle's family, and Tong Lai also appeared near Fubao's uncle's house.

The man in black who was following her that Fubao mentioned should be Tong Lai.

According to the old man's recovered memories, Tong Lai regarded Asong as his real brother. If that was the case, he would have helped Asong's family when they were in trouble, but no one came to their rescue.

Moreover, Asong's family had their martial arts skills suppressed by poison in the water. Asong and Jinniang were both young marshals of the ghost army, and it was difficult for ordinary people to defeat them.

Therefore, Su Heting speculated that it should be Tong Lai who poisoned Asong's family, as people who are trusted are less likely to be guarded against.

Tong Lai appeared in the town where Asong lived that day, bringing people to kill Asong's family.

He followed Fubao, and probably spared her life because he saw that Fubao was young and really had no martial arts skills.

They also found out that Tong Lai had appeared in Wuli many times in recent years, so it was very likely that he had betrayed the Ghost Army and surrendered to Yi Qing.

Zhou Huiyue thought for a moment and replied, "I remember Yi Qing saying that the emperor was cruel and annihilated the ghost army. This frightened many of the ghost soldiers who lived in seclusion, so they defected to him."

Su Heting's eyes were cold as he asked, "Mother, have you ever thought about this? The ghost soldiers serve the court. The late emperor gave them money and let them retire because of their merits. They pose no threat to the royal family, but only have merits. Why did the emperor kill the ghost soldiers?"

The emperor knew very little about the Ghost Army. He didn't even know that his father-in-law was the real commander of the Ghost Army, so how could he know about Asong and the others?

He and Qiao Xi had previously suspected that someone had attacked the ghost army and put the blame on the emperor so that the ghost army would be disappointed with the court.

Now it is certain that the person who framed the person is Yi Qing.

He was the real mastermind behind the murder of Asong's family.

This also explains why the old man was plotted against back then. If Yi Qing bribed Tong Lai, Tong Lai, as the old man's apprentice, naturally understood the old man.

And the old man would not be on guard against his disciples.

This Yi Qing is really more disgusting than the emperor.

Su Heting glanced at Zhou Huiyue, a hint of pity flashing across his eyes.

His mother had no idea what sins she had committed in her previous life to meet two men like this.

Zhou Huiyue's mind was filled with Su Heting's words. She mumbled, "The Emperor has always wanted to expand his territory. He once told me that he wanted to be an even better emperor than the previous one."

So, when Yi Qing said that the emperor wanted to summon the ghost army but failed, and was therefore angry and humiliated, and therefore attacked the ghost army, she believed it.

After her marriage, she came into contact with the emperor and found that he was indeed a vengeful person.

But the fact is, Yi Qing lied to her again.

Zhou Huiyue didn't even dare to think about whether Yi Qing had ever told the truth in the past half of their life since they met.

Su Heting pulled out the jade cicada and hung it back around his neck, "When the Qiao and Xu families were engaged, the Qiao family gave this jade cicada to the girl from the Xu family as a token of love.

Later, Miss Xu was captured by Cao Ying and taken to the palace, and the jade cicada remained in Cao Ying's hands.

Cao Ying did not give the jade cicada to the emperor. She belonged to the emperor, but also to Yi Qing.

I'm afraid the Emperor's understanding of the Ghost Army isn't as good as Cao Ying's."

His words were telling Zhou Huiyue that it was Yi Qing who really killed the ghost army.

It wasn't that he intended to hurt her, but he was worried that if he didn't make it clear, Zhou Huiyue would still be deceived by Yi Qing.

In order to gain the other party's trust, he repeatedly injured himself seriously and put himself on the verge of death, and pretended to be weak for many years. Su Heting claimed that he could not do it.

Yi Qing is a cruel and crazy person. It is hard for him to imagine what crazy things such a person will do in the future.

Zhou Huiyue understood what her son said and felt extremely embarrassed and angry.
