Yin Feier fell silent, exchanged a glance with Li Shu, and then stood up and said, "Since the Emperor is here, Sister Ali, you must go to the Empress Mother's bedroom immediately. We'll come back and continue our discussion after the Emperor leaves."

Li Shu did not stand up, but reached out to hold her and called out "Lin Yuan" in a low voice.

Yin Feier was a little puzzled, but before she could ask, she saw Lin Yuan falling from the beam of her house.

"What do you want, young lady?"

"It's okay. I just wanted to confirm whether you were there and whether there were any other secret guards around."

"..."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then bowed his head and turned to Yin Feier, saying, "Please forgive me, Princess Feiyun. When I heard the young lady calling me, I used medicine to temporarily make your secret guard lose consciousness."

Yin Feier's eyes lit up. She wanted to ask him how he had sneaked into her bedroom without alerting her secret guards. She also wanted to ask him how he had used drugs to make her secret guards lose consciousness in such a short time. She also wanted to ask what drugs he had used. She also wanted to ask him whether her secret guards would be aware of the unconscious state. And so on...

But she didn't ask a single question.

Because after she said "nothing", Li Shu immediately asked Lin Yuan: "How long will it take for those secret guards to return to normal?"

"After a quarter of an hour, or I can use the antidote to restore them."

"Well, please step back first."

"Yes."

After Lin Yuan withdrew, Li Shu tugged at Yin Feier. After Yin Feier sat back down, she lowered her voice and said, "To avoid any more trouble, tell me about the Queen's situation."

After she finished speaking, she added, "To make a long story short."

Yin Feier hesitated for a moment, then spoke to the outside, "My hair is a little messy, Sister Ali is helping me to fix it, I'll go when it's done."

"Yes."

When Lian Xiaying's voice sounded, Li Shu had already stood up and ruffled Yin Feier's hair.

Yin Feier frowned, but didn't ask anything. Instead, she lowered her voice and continued, "One day before, I was supposed to stay with the Empress Dowager until dusk, but I returned to Fengyi Palace early after noon. Then, without asking the palace maids to inform me, I went straight into the Empress Dowager's bedroom. I saw her combing her hair in front of the mirror...

How should I put it? Combing hair itself is not strange, but the expression on my mother's face at that time, the way she combed her hair, and even her sitting posture, all made me feel very uncomfortable, as if... it was just like when you, Sister Ali, deliberately imitated my movements before, which was very uncomfortable!

When my mother saw me, she immediately leaned her head against the dressing table and said she felt a little dizzy, and asked me to help her back to bed for a nap. I was worried, so I immediately called the imperial physician. My father came with the imperial physician, and as soon as he arrived, he asked me to go and get my brother, the crown prince. I rushed out of my mother's bedroom and got a long way before I remembered that my brother had strictly ordered me not to go to him unless it was something serious. I turned back to hear what the imperial physician had to say before going to see my brother, the crown prince. Then when I rushed back into my mother's bedroom, the imperial physician was no longer there, and my mother was crying in my father's arms..."

At this point, Yin Feier paused for a few moments with a complicated expression. "Sister Ali, you know that mother is very strong. Not to mention that I have hardly seen her cry since she was a child. Given her personality, even if she did cry, it wouldn't be the kind of gentle cry that makes people's scalps tingle! Moreover, father was furious with me at the time and insisted that I go and call the crown prince immediately! But by the time I called the crown prince, mother had already fallen asleep. After waking up that night, mother was depressed the whole time. I tried my best to make mother happy, but not only did her smiles seem forced, she was also always worried... So I was a little worried that mother might have some kind of intractable disease and didn't want me, who was about to marry far away, to know..."

Hearing this, Li Shu was already re-tying her hair.

As soon as she stopped talking, Li Shu asked, "Have you ever felt that sense of disharmony with the Queen since then?"

Yin Feier nodded slightly. "It happened several times, and all of them happened after I left Fengyi Palace for a long time. But I have asked my mother indirectly several times if she was in good health. She always said she was fine and told me not to worry. So I started to suspect that something unclean had possessed her! It just so happened that my mother helped my aunt to invite Abbot Leleyuan to perform a ritual at her house. I was thinking about whether I should go to my aunt's house that day to meet Abbot Yuan and ask for an exorcism talisman to place in my mother's bedroom!"

"Why did Her Majesty the Queen invite Abbot Yuan to perform a ritual on behalf of the Grand Princess?"

"When the Imperial Aunt came to the palace and said she wanted to adopt you as her granddaughter, she mentioned that she'd been having nightmares lately. She either dreamed of her late husband suffering in the afterlife or of her two children who never made it into the world becoming wandering ghosts. She wanted to ask the Queen Mother to invite Abbot Yuan to perform a ritual at her residence."

"..."

Li Shu frowned slightly.

Although she often goes to Nanshan Temple.

But she didn't know much about the monks in Nanshan Temple.

I had only seen Abbot Yuan before, on the day when I went to offer the eternal lamp.

So Abbot Leyuan is someone who can only be invited by the Empress?

But there are so many eminent monks in Nanshan Temple. Why did the eldest princess go to the trouble of asking the empress to come forward and invite Abbot Yuan?

Or……

Is the Grand Princess also aware of the abnormality of the Queen?

Thinking of this, she quickened her hands.

After retying Yin Feier's hair, she immediately pulled Yin Feier up and said, "Now let's go see the Emperor and the Empress. As for what you just said to me, you'd better not tell anyone else."

"Why? Sister Ali, do you know something that I don't?"

"..."

Li Shu shook her head. "I just have a bad feeling, but whether you want to listen to me or not is up to you..."

Before she could finish her words, Yin Feier said, "I'll listen to you! Honestly, I always feel that your character didn't change because you were disillusioned with Ning Jin after falling into the water, but because you knew something, something very bad. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to want to divorce Ning Jin while also severing ties with your father and brothers! And the reason why I haven't asked anything until now is because I know that when you can, Sister Ali, you will definitely tell me!"

Li Shu's eyes were sore. She said nothing, just smiled, pulled Yin Feier, opened the door and walked out.

When they arrived at the queen's bedroom, they heard the queen's laughter as soon as they entered.

It was a laugh they were all familiar with.

Although the emperor did not laugh out loud, his face was full of smiles.

After seeing her, the emperor's smile remained unchanged, and he immediately asked Eunuch Yuan to give her a seat.

But after she finished greeting him and took her seat, he immediately asked in a deep voice, "I heard you're still quarreling with Ning Jin?"
