"Lan'er, do you need me to do anything?" Beitang Yuan stood aside, wanting to help.

"Wait a moment." Xie Jinglan unbuttoned the empress dowager's shirt and applied acupuncture to the acupuncture points on her chest.

Twenty-seven silver needles were inserted, and then a few needles were also inserted into the empress dowager's arms and legs.

The empress dowager seemed to sense something, and her frown gradually relaxed.

Seeing her serious look, Emperor Kunming began to believe it a little.

After the acupuncture, Xie Jinglan took out a small porcelain bottle, removed the lid, and a pleasant fragrance wafted out.

She dropped a drop of medicine into the empress dowager's nostril, then took a silver needle and used her surgical eyes to observe the empress dowager's condition.

After a while, there was movement. Under her magical eyes, she saw a tiny insect appear under the skin from the empress dowager's chest to her neck.

After a while, the little bug moved, moving upwards little by little.

Sure enough, there was something there. Emperor Kunming and Beitang Yuan also saw it and couldn't help holding their breath. They both knew a little magic and could see things under the skin.

The thing seemed very alert and tried to go back several times, but it could not resist the temptation of the smell of medicine.

Xie Jinglan moved, and a silver needle was inserted into her body. The thing inside was nailed down and she struggled desperately. A small bump appeared on her skin.

Finally caught, Emperor Kunming and Beitang Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Jinglan took a small surgical blade and carefully cut open the thing and took it out.

She put the little poisonous insect into a glass bottle. The little thing looked very fierce and jumped around in the bottle violently.

"So it's this ghost thing that's causing trouble." Beitang Yuan took the small bottle and looked at the little thing inside that was baring its fangs and claws.

"Investigate for me!" Emperor Kunming was furious and was about to leave.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that someone would dare to use such an evil thing as a poisonous insect on the empress dowager!

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." Xie Jinglan stopped him.

Emperor Kunming turned around and said, "I misunderstood you before. You have saved the Queen Mother and I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been kind to me. When someone plotted against me, I will do my best to save her. I dare not take credit for it. What I want to say is that this poisonous insect is evil. The person behind it wants to harm me in collusion with the Empress Dowager..." Xie Jinglan explained the purpose of the person who put the poisonous insect in his body to him bit by bit.

"Father, the person behind this is extremely cunning and sly, and his methods are vicious and hard to guard against. It can be seen that this person is hiding very deeply. If we want to find him, we must not act in a high-profile manner, so as not to alert the enemy and let the villain take the opportunity to escape." A sharp light flashed in Beitang Yuan's eyes.

"So what do you want to do according to your wishes?" Emperor Kunming suppressed his anger and wanted to hear how they would deal with this matter.

"In my opinion, the person who possesses the mother Gu must be in this palace. I have a way. What do you think..." Xie Jinglan told them her plan.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible. This time we must find out the person behind this. Otherwise, there will be no peace in this palace." Beitang Yuan said.

"Okay, then let's find this person according to Xie Jinglan's plan." Emperor Kunming said and walked out.

Xie Jinglan used a Band-Aid to cover the empress dowager's wound, helped her put on her clothes, and took her pulse.

"What's wrong?" Beitang Yuan was still a little worried, after all, the insect had been in the human body for so long.

"The pulse is much more stable than before. The queen is no longer in danger and will wake up soon." Xie Jinglan comforted him.

She tucked the quilt in for the Queen Mother and said, "Don't let anyone enter this bedroom until the Queen Mother wakes up."

"He Changsong." Beitang Yuan shouted.

"I'm here." He Changsong came in suddenly. "Your Highness, please give your orders."

"Guard Shouning Palace well and don't let anyone in. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy." After giving the order, Beitang Yuan took Xie Jinglan's hand and walked out of the empress dowager's bedroom.

As soon as Emperor Kunming walked out of the bedroom door, Empress Zhangsun and Beitang Hong immediately came to meet him and asked anxiously:

"Father, has the Empress Dowager woken up?"

"Your Majesty, how is the Queen Mother? Is Xie Jinglan willing to donate her blood to heal her?"

Emperor Kunming said nothing, but glanced solemnly at the mother and son and shouted, "Someone come!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

A tall man dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Guard stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and knelt on one knee before the Emperor. "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"Pass on my decree and call all the people in the palace here!" Emperor Kunming issued the decree.

"I obey your order!" Commander Du accepted the order and left with a few imperial guards.

Hearing this, the concubines standing in the courtyard were all panicked. They had done nothing wrong and they must not get into any bad luck!

Empress Changsun's face turned slightly pale. She could see that Emperor Kunming was angry.

He was fine when he went in just now, but when he came out she saw that his expression was not right, especially that meaningful look, which made her feel very uneasy.

Emperor Kunming is very suspicious. That bitch Xie Jinglan must have said something to him?

Soon, people started arriving one after another.

Empress Changsun looked at Emperor Kunming and wanted to speak several times, but when she saw his gloomy eyes, she took back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She secretly resented that Emperor Kunming had not been as nice to her as before since Xie Jinglan broke off the engagement with her son.

It’s all because of that damn Xie Jinglan.

In less than two quarters of an hour, all the eunuchs and palace maids were called in, even the palace servants who cleaned toilets and pulled excrement were not spared, and they knelt in a large crowd.

Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan were the last to come out, and as soon as they raised their eyes they met Empress Changsun's vicious gaze.

Humph! Xie Jinglan glared back at her coldly. They were now enemies, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Beitang Yuan returned to the court, and now the court is divided into two parties, which makes the mother and son feel a sense of crisis. Do they want to harm them?

Then why aren't they the same? In the future, they will definitely fight to the death.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened? Why did you allow all these people to come here?" Empress Changsun could no longer hold back and asked tentatively, "Why not let me ask?"

She is the mistress of the harem, and according to the rules, she should be in charge of the affairs of the harem.

However, this time Emperor Kunming didn't even glance at her.

"Prince, Xie Jinglan, I leave this matter to you."

"Your son obeys your order!" Beitang Yuan accepted the order and looked at Xie Jinglan.

Empress Changsun's face turned from pale to blue, and she was filled with hatred, digging her nails deep into her flesh.

Ever since Beitang Yuan came back, the emperor has been displeased with the mother and son. Now even the affairs of the harem have to be handed over to these two people, which shows how much he favors the prince.

She even went to the emperor to seek justice for the murder of her brother and niece from her mother's side. She wanted to arrest all the members of the Xie family to avenge the Changsun family, but the emperor said that they had brought it upon themselves. This really made her angry to death. The emperor was not like this before.
