After exiting the Dragon-Dry Palace, she asked Xiao Hanqi with a darkened face where he was right now.

The guard whispered, "The imperial kitchens."

Ever since Old Emperor passed out, Xiao Hanqi had basically gone to the Dragon-Dry Palace first and then to the imperial study to take care of official business.

"To the royal study!"

The guard pursed his lips. "Esteemed empress, the crown prince's in the imperial kitchens, not the imperial study."

The empress's eyes widened. "Why did the crown prince suddenly run to such a place?"

The guard swallowed.

The empress's eyes were locked onto the shadow guard. She was keenly aware that something was wrong. She looked at the guard and shouted coldly, "Speak the truth!"

The Dark Guard had suspected Wei Qing from the start, but now, they naturally chose to speak the truth.

Hearing that Xiao Hanqi had been bewitched by a monstrous eunuch recently, the Empress was so angry that her face alternated between green and white.

She hastily rushed to the imperial kitchens, and when she saw Wei Qing's bright eyes, she was momentarily stunned.

Wei Qing's breathing stagnated, and she quickly knelt down.

Xiao Hanqi's expression changed several times, afraid that the Queen would scold him.

"Muhou, why have you come here?"

The empress withdrew her gaze from Wei Qing's face and looked coldly at him. "This palace is curious as to what kind of demon she is, to actually be able to enchant the crown prince to such a state!"

Xiao Hanqi was obviously displeased, "Imperial Mother, did you hear some rumors? Where did this monster come from? "

Wei Qing lowered her head, trying to reduce the feeling of existence.

The empress gave a heavy snort, her gaze that was as sharp as a blade suddenly shifted to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing hurried out, but unexpectedly, Xiao Hanqi called for her again.

"Imperial Mother, this son only felt that this eunuch was rather interesting. What does he mean by 'enthralled'?"

Seeing that Xiao Hanqi was actually disobedient to his for the sake of a lowly eunuch, the Empress's face became even uglier.

"Kneel!" She vented all the evil fire in her stomach on Wei Qing's body.

Just as Wei Qing was about to kneel, Xiao Hanqi shouted with an unrelenting tone, "Get out!"

The mother and son duo were in a stalemate, but Wei Qing smirked.

What the team was most afraid of was an internal conflict. For Xiao Hanqi and the Empress to have such a close relationship, if there was a problem, the hearts of the people below would definitely be shaken.

"You go out first!"

After staring at each other for a long time, the Empress finally gave in and allowed Wei Qing to leave for the time being.

The door to the imperial kitchen closed with a "bang", causing Wei Qing's heart to tremble as well.

The empress wanted to kill her so she had to leave the crown prince's residence as soon as possible.

However, the things that she had asked Xiao Qingqian to prepare was not something that could be done in two to three days.

What should he do?

Go or stay?

For a moment, Wei Qing was conflicted.

At that time, Dragon-Dry Palace.

The chanting of the sutras continued. The well-trained secret guard quickly helped the Old Emperor to disguise himself and then laid on the bed.

All of this went smoothly, and it didn't take long. The high and mighty hearts of the empress dowager and Nanny Qiu were finally at ease.

The chanting finally ended, and the Dragon-Dry Palace's heavy door slowly opened.

The guard at the door looked at the face of the Great Magus who was being supported by a few Magi, and the doubt in his eyes grew.

"Nanny Qiu, the Great Mage had actually suffered a backlash from the Evil Qi in order to help the Emperor expel the Evil Qi. He vomited blood, you go to Royal Hospital first, and have the imperial physician make a trip to Tzu Ning Palace as soon as possible."

Nanny Qiu replied and left quickly.

The guards felt that something was amiss, they looked at each other, and one of them quickly entered the Dragon-Dry Palace.

Seeing that the "Old Emperor" was still lying there quietly, he did not stop him and allowed him to pass.

The empress dowager and the others hurried back to the Tzu Ning Palace. The disguised Xiao Qingqian looked at the unconscious Old Emperor and his heart tensed up.

"Ah Qian, the emperor has successfully gotten This Dowager's place, but how are you going to get the emperor out of the palace?" Her Majesty was worried.

She had just gone to the Dragon-Dry Palace, and the Queen had just arrived. This meant that the whole of the palace was filled with power from Xiao Hanqi and the Empress.

Xiao Qingqian said to the empress dowager with a face full of confidence, "Royal Grandmother, this grandson has already made all the preparations, you can rest assured."

Her Majesty nodded.

Very soon, the Nanny Qiu brought the imperial physician to the Tzu Ning Palace. "Empress Dowager, the imperial physician has arrived."

The empress dowager really couldn't understand why Xiao Qingqian specifically asked the Nanny Qiu to bring a imperial physician over to the Tzu Ning Palace to look for him. But seeing that his eyes were still normal, he suppressed the various guesses in his heart, slightly raised his chin, and signaled the imperial physician to come forward to take the Old Emperor's pulse.

The imperial physician, who had just placed his hand on Old Emperor's wrist, was shocked.

"This pulse …"

The empress dowager's face was dark. "Is there a problem?"

The imperial doctor was afraid that he had made a wrong diagnosis, so he carefully checked Old Emperor's pulse once more, and fine beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead.

"Tell me the truth!" Her Majesty's patience ran out.

The imperial physician continued, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, the Great Mage's pulse is actually exactly the same as the Emperor's."

"Oh?" The empress dowager's brows creased. "What does that mean?"

The Nanny Qiu looked at Xiao Qingqian who was giving him a meaningful glance and quickly said, "Empress Dowager, everyone says that the Great Mage can communicate with spirits, could it be that he has already lured the Evil Qi on the Emperor's body to him?"

The Imperial Physician was stunned by such a bizarre occurrence.

The empress dowager frowned in thought for a moment. "If that's the case, does that mean that the Emperor's pulse should be normal?"

The Nanny Qiu shook his head, indicating that he himself wasn't sure either.

The empress dowager looked at Xiao Qingqian and said to the imperial physician, "Quickly follow This Dowager to the Dragon-Dry Palace."

The imperial physicians did not dare to disobey, and so they hurried to the Dragon-Dry Palace with the empress dowager to check his pulse.

The guard knew that this could not be delayed and hurried to the imperial kitchens.

Hearing that the Old Emperor seemed to be normal, and that the Great Mage was unconscious, the mother and son who were in confrontation looked at each other and hurried towards the Dragon-Dry Palace.

After exiting the imperial kitchen, the Queen glared fiercely at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing's breath tightened, she lowered her head and was about to follow, but was stopped by Xiao Hanqi.

She blinked her eyes. Xiao Hanqi looked at the empress who had already walked far away and said softly, "The empress is currently angry. You should take a walk around the palace first."

With that, he quickly caught up to the empress just as she turned to look at him.

Wei Qing didn't know where she should go either. As she was walking on the small path, her wrist suddenly jerked, followed by her entire body being dragged into the small forest. She was shocked, thinking that the Empress was trying to backstab her.

"Me!"

stopped struggling with the familiar voice and familiar aura, and turned to look at the disguised Xiao Qingqian.

"It's done."

Wei Qing nodded, "I know."

Otherwise, the Empress and Xiao Hanqi wouldn't have been in such a hurry to go to the Dragon-Dry Palace.

"Send royal father out in a while."

Wei Qing nodded heavily, "You must be careful."
