After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

"This servant dares not say, but every word I have spoken is true. I beg Your Majesty the Empress to save my Imperial Consort. She is a good person!"

"My poor third sister-in-law, luckily she had a personal maid by her side. Cui'er risked her life to crawl out through a dog hole, and everything was still in time."

In the original book, Shi Chenfeng severely beat Si Wan'er and refused to allow the doctor to treat her.

Si Wan'er couldn't bear the pain and lay on the bed waiting to die.

However, she had saved Cui'er's life, and Cui'er couldn't bear to see her like this, so she ran to the palace to find the Empress. But at that time, the Empress only had Shi Yunyun in her heart and was unwilling to pay attention to the affairs of the Prince Zheng's Mansion.

This became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

That night, she drowned herself in the river.

"Mother, give her my get-out-of-jail-free card, and tell Third Sister-in-law to get her acted up. Let's fight it out in the household, kill one person at a time!"

The Empress took out a gold medal from her pocket and looked at Shi Miaomiao.

After all, this was something she cherished dearly.

"Mother, we can ask Father for the gold medal again, but my third sister-in-law only has one life."

The Empress was moved by Shi Miaomiao's words.

Such a magnanimous baby, only two months old, truly worthy of being her daughter.

"Take this token and return to your residence immediately. Take good care of the Third Imperial Consort. I will immediately send an imperial physician to Prince Zheng's residence to treat her!"

The Empress carried Shi Miaomiao and walked into the palace.

As she left, she looked at Shi Lingfeng with pity.

"Chrysanthemums withered, buttocks bruised, I bet Second Brother is going to seek comfort from Mu Xuechuan."

You guessed it right.

Shi Ling boarded a carriage and headed to the Tianqi Embassy.

"Ouch, be gentle!"

Shi Lingfeng was limped in by Mu Xuechuan's guards.

"What's wrong with the Second Prince?" Upon seeing this, Mo Ying stepped forward and helped him inside.

Shi Lingfeng screamed in pain.

"What else could it be? Of course, he was beaten by my mother."

Mo Ying found it hard to believe that the Queen of Hua Yao Kingdom, who was usually gentle, could have such a fiery side.

"Look at you, you don't even know how to keep an eye on your little one. He's so naughty, I had to give him a good beating."

I feel wronged just thinking about it.

Yesterday I was kicked by my father, and today I was beaten by my mother.

Why is life so bitter!

"Is Miaomiao being naughty?" Mu Xuechuan raised an eyebrow and asked with some nervousness.

Shi Lingfeng mocked him.

"Oh, oh, oh, look at how worthless you are. You should be concerned about my injuries. Luckily, Mother hit my butt. If it had hit my face, it would have ruined my handsome appearance."

"How old are you? Don't argue with a little kid." Mu Xuechuan looked at him with disdain.

Shi Lingfeng was unhappy.

“Brother Mu, I didn’t expect you to think so too. If Miaomiao hadn’t said she wanted to see strong men take off their clothes and wrestle, how could I have come back late, and how could I have been beaten by the Empress Dowager?”

Mu Xuechuan frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

It turns out she prefers guys who are a bit muscular.

Yeah, I need to work out more tomorrow and try to get eight-pack abs.

“Good for you. You’re taking a two-month-old baby to see strong men. What if he gets kidnapped?” Mu Xuechuan scolded him seriously.

Shi Lingfeng felt incredibly wronged.

“That’s not right, Second Prince. The little princess is only two months old. How could she tell you that she wanted to go see strong men? You can’t lie like that. If the Empress doesn’t punish you, who will she punish?” Mo Ying teased him.

"I..." Shi Lingfeng was speechless.

Eavesdropping on my sister's thoughts—it's a secret!

"Go get the pain relief ointment I made and apply it to me properly."

Mo Ying helped him, and he limped into the inner room.

It took him a while to walk out normally.

"It seems I am quite skilled in medicine. This pain-relieving ointment has made the wound stop hurting immediately. Brother Mu, what do you think..."

"boom!"

As soon as they came out, they saw Mu Xuechuan, pale-faced and convulsing, lying on the ground.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

Mu Xuechuan took out Buddhist prayer beads from his pocket.

Mo Ying took it and looked at it; the Buddhist beads were emitting a deep black aura.

"This string of Buddhist prayer beads has been cursed; it contains malevolent energy!"

He quickly picked up the oil lamp and lit it over the prayer beads.

A string of sandalwood prayer beads, after being burned, quickly turned into a black mass and then burned to ashes.

"Pfft!" Mu Xuechuan coughed up mouthfuls of black blood.

It took a while for the person to recover.

"Brother Mu, how are you?" Shi Lingfeng helped him up.

Mu Xuechuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing."

His spiritual energy countered the malevolent energy, and through his powerful willpower, he ultimately defeated it.

The spiritual energy within him has existed since his rebirth.

"How could those prayer beads have evil energy? How could something from a temple be such a heretical and evil thing?" Shi Lingfeng was very puzzled.

“Someone wants to harm the little princess,” Mu Xuechuan said.

Shi Lingfeng suddenly realized.

He had taken this string of Buddhist prayer beads from his sister.

He dared not imagine how his sister would have died if the Buddhist beads had been on her body when the evil aura struck!

Who could be so vicious as to frame a two-month-old baby!

"No, this is no small matter. I must return to the palace and tell the Empress Dowager!"

He would never allow anyone to hurt his sister.

Shi Miaomiao returned from the Buddhist hall, beaming with joy.

The Empress was undressing Shi Miaomiao to give her a bath when she discovered various talismans falling out of her pockets, including beauty talismans, slimming talismans, and life-saving talismans.

All kinds of talismans are available.

There's nothing she doesn't have, only things you can't imagine.

"Mommy, I'm giving you a beauty charm; it'll make you ten years younger!"

The Empress seemed to believe it but not quite.

But considering that the Crown Prince had her amulet, he had indeed escaped a calamity.

"Mommy, believe me, this talisman really can make you beautiful!"

She collected all the talismans, including half a jade pendant, and put it in a pile for her as well.

When I was giving her a bath, I discovered that the Buddhist prayer beads were missing.

Where did your Buddhist prayer beads go?

That was a special instruction from Master Fangyuan: Buddhist prayer beads must not be separated from one's person, otherwise, good fortune will be lost.

"My second brother stole them! He gave my Buddhist prayer beads to his best friend and even said he wanted to arrange a marriage between us when we were little."

The queen was angry.

"He's twenty years old and still so irresponsible, even stealing his sister's things. When he comes tomorrow, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

"Mother, don't be angry. It will hurt your health every second. Second brother is so naughty, we should find him a wife to discipline him properly."

These words reminded the Empress.

He's not getting any younger; he should get married and have children soon!

After taking a shower, Shi Miaomiao put on clean clothes, but seeing the pile of talismans lying there, she was so anxious that she kicked her legs.

"Mother, my talisman, the talisman works!"

Seeing that she was behaving well and had a strong learning ability, the Dog God taught her all the talismans in the Buddhist hall today!

Seeing how much she treasured it, the Empress found an embroidered bag, put the talisman inside, and slung it diagonally across her body.

Shi Miaomiao is very proud.

"From now on, I'll be a walking magic bag."

"Mother!" Shi Lingfeng rushed in.

"Second brother's here! He's definitely here to steal his sister! Mother, quickly beat him!"

Seeing this, the Empress picked up the stick again.

"You bastard, Shi Lingfeng! You even dare to covet your sister's Buddhist prayer beads! What kind of buddy is more important than your sister's safety?!"

As the stick fell, Shi Lingfeng hurriedly explained.

"Mother, there's something wrong with those prayer beads! Someone wants to harm my sister!"
