Saiya frowned as she looked at Su Qing. She had hit herself so hard that it hurt. A palace maid pushed Su Qing and asked her rudely,
“Do you have eyes?”

Su Qing looked coldly at the palace maid. This woman’s eyes were so scary. Her calm eyes were cold and eerie, causing the palace maid to withdraw her hand and retreat timidly.
Su Qing looked at Saiya indifferently. She had seen this woman before. That day, when she had gone to find the person to perform the ritual, she had brought a group of people to support her. However, he didn’t know if she was the First Prince’s or the Second Prince’s person.
Seeing that Su Qing was not afraid to beg for mercy but also looked at her up and down, Saiya was very unhappy. She pursed her lips and glared at her, asking unhappily,
“You bumped into me.”
“I’m sorry.”
Su Qing didn’t want to cause trouble, so she apologized and turned to leave. Saiya saw Su Qing’s appearance. What a beautiful woman, but she didn’t look like a Tartan. Could she be a spy from the Great Xia Kingdom?
“Stop right there.”
Saiya caught up to Su Qing. Seeing that she was bugging her, Su Qing quickly turned around and pressed on her and the palace maid’s acupuncture points. Saiya maintained her raised hand posture but could not say a word. Only her eyes could move.
Saiya was terrified. Why couldn’t she move after poking her body twice? What kind of demonic spell did this woman cast on her?
Su Qing quickly left this dangerous place. The royal guards did not come over when they saw the princess and Su Qing talking. After a while, they saw that the princess and the palace maid were still in the same position. They realized that something was wrong and quickly came over to check.
Su Qing had already left without a trace. She wanted to find the Empress’s palace. Last time, Yeluchun said that the Empress had a thousand-year-old Lingzhi. This time, she came to find Lingzhi.
Su Qing had already revealed herself. To make things easier, he knocked out a Tartan soldier about the same height and weight as her. She stripped off his clothes and changed into them herself, then threw the changed clothes back into the system.
Xiao Qi wasn’t in the system, so Su Qing couldn’t even ask where Lingzhi was. She could only look for it herself.
“Master, I’m here.”
Just as Su Qing was vexed about letting Xiao Qi leave the system, Xiao Qi’s soft voice sounded in her ear.
“Master, I’m here.”
Xiao Qi smiled sweetly when she saw Su Qing turn around to look at her.
After Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng left, Xiaoying wanted to carry it into the city. Xiao Qi jumped off the carriage and ran to Tartan to find her Master.
“Help me see which yurt the lingzhi is in.”
Su Qing felt relieved when she saw Xiao Qi. With Xiao Qi, she could save time. Otherwise, with so many yurts and the Empress’s palace, finding Lingzhi would not be easy.
“Okay, Xiao Qi will help Master take a look.”
Xiao Qi replied cutely and jumped into the system, running to the screen to search.
The thousand-year-old Lingzhi had intelligence and would emit a faint yellow light. Xiao Qi found it in an instant.
“Master, in the secret room in the largest palace.”
Su Qing nodded. Treasures would naturally not be placed on the surface.
Since she had confirmed the location of the thousand-year-old Lingzhi, Su Qing walked towards the most prominent palace. It should be the Empress’s palace. The golden tower-shaped roof looked incredibly imposing among the yurts. There was no need to look for it.
The target was right in front of them, but it wasn’t easy to get close. The Empress was probably afraid that the First Prince’s subordinates would take revenge, so the palace was heavily guarded. The entire palace was surrounded by royal guards holding dazzling swords and spears.
Su Qing was a little anxious. How should she go over? She couldn’t possibly knock out so many people, right?
Even if she had fainted, the sudden absence of a single soldier outside the Empress’ palace would arouse suspicion.
A palace maid dressed in Tartan clothing walked out of the palace. Su Qing saw that she was about the same height as her and had an idea.
She stared at the palace maid and saw her leave and walk towards her. Not far behind Su Qing was the kitchen where the food was cooked. She guessed that she had come to pass the food over.
Su Qing had an idea. She hid behind the yurt and waited quietly.
The palace maid entered the dining room and came out after a while, holding a silver plate. On the plate were two exquisite dishes and a pot of wine. She carried it to the Empress’s palace.
Su Qing walked up to her and knocked her out with a handkerchief stained with knockout powder. The plate fell, and Xiao Qi helped her Master catch it steadily.
“Which yurt is empty?”
Su Qing asked Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi quickly pointed to a yurt not far away, “Master, there’s no one in that room.”
Su Qing dragged the palace maid to the empty yurt. Once she entered the room, she removed her clothes and put on the palace maid’s headdress. Other than her appearance, she didn’t look like she was tall or fat.
“Xiao Qi, disguise pill.”
Su Qing then asked Xiao Qi for the disguise pill. She had to make sure that she was not recognized. It would take too much time to put on makeup, but taking the disguise pill would speed things up.
Xiao Qi was a good baby. Without waiting for the Master to say anything, she entered the appearance of the palace maid into the computer to make a human skin mask.
Su Qing saw the mask Xiao Qi handed her and couldn’t help but rub the little gal’s head. She was so considerate.
Su Qing dressed up and stuffed the poor palace maid into a wooden cabinet in the yurt. The wooden cabinet was initially filled with the clothes of the palace maids, but Su Qing stored them in the system. Afraid she would suffocate the palace maid, she thoughtfully left a gap in the cabinet.
After cleaning up, Su Qing walked out of the yurt with a tray and headed for the Empress’s palace. She was bold but cautious, and her expression was calm. No one stopped her from successfully entering the Empress’s palace. Did the patrolling Tartan soldiers not notice that there had been a change?
The moment she entered, he felt the warmth and fragrance of spring assaulting her nostrils. The furnishings in the room were as luxurious as Consort Lan’s palace, and it was also twice as big as Consort Lan’s palace.
The woman in the queen’s palace dress was beautiful and noble. She sat behind the table and looked at a Taoist seated behind the table with a cold expression.
The Taoist was thin, and his appearance was strange. His eagle eyes were moving around, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Su Qing walked over with the tray without looking at her. When the Empress saw that she had returned, she raised her chin at the Daoist’s table and ordered,
“Get Daoist Changsheng some wine.”
“Yes.”
Su Qing walked over, picked up the wine jug from the plate, and poured wine into the wine cup beside the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest’s eyes were glued to her face with a lustful look. Su Qing almost couldn’t help but want to dig his eyes out.
She could have done that, but she wanted to know the identity of this Taoist priest. She had gone through so much trouble to sneak in and couldn’t leave without gaining anything.
Therefore, she endured it. After pouring the wine, she placed the wine pot and two dishes on the table and stepped back to stand with the other palace maids.
The Taoist priest took a sip of the wine and shook his head. He smiled and praised, “Good wine, good wine!”
The moment he opened his mouth to speak, the hair on Su Qing’s arm stood up. It was so piercing that one wanted to block their ears. It was so unpleasant to hear that it was like ten thousand crows calling in the sky.
Su Qing frowned and sized up the Taoist priest.. Who was he? Why did the Empress value him so much?
