When Xue Duan Sheng heard about the matter of the Zhao Clan being scared senseless by a ghost, he came back in a hurry to take a look.

"How is the Lady?" Xue Duan Sheng hurriedly asked Doctor Lin.

"Madam was just too shocked, and I didn't have a good rest during this period of time, so I fainted. I've already prescribed some tranquilizer medicine for Madam to take, I believe she will recover soon." Doctor Lin reported.

"Alright, you may leave." Xue Duan Sheng waved his hand.

"Yes."

"Servant, why is the Madam so scared that she fainted? Quickly report the situation to me." Xue Duan Sheng swept up the group before him and sat on the chair with a serious expression.

Red Sleeves tremblingly kneeled on the ground. "Reporting to the Lord, this servant accompanied the Madam to visit the Second Miss at that time. I didn't expect that on the way back …" Red Sleeves recounted what had happened at that time in detail.

When Xue Duan Sheng heard this, he vaguely felt a chill behind him, and a gust of wind that could cut through the hall came out of nowhere, causing him to feel a chill from the wind.

"Nonsense, where did all these nonsense come from?" It was clearly you who protected Madam from harm, delusional enough to come up with lies to escape the blame. " Xue Duan Sheng shouted in rage.

"This servant dares not." When the servants saw the old master angry, they immediately knelt down in fear, trembling in fear.

"We dare not to expire the term of the old master. We have indeed seen it with our own eyes." Everyone cried out their grievances. Everyone was sure about what had happened.

Under Doctor Lin's treatment, Mrs Zhao slowly woke up. The moment he saw Xue Duan Sheng, he crawled up and grabbed his hand. "Old Master, Old Master, they've come to take revenge on us. They want us to pay with our lives!" Mrs Zhao was dancing and waving her arms around. She was in a state of insanity and her eyes were as big as bells.

"Madam, you must have been frightened." Xue Duan Sheng had an awkward expression.

"They've all turned into evil spirits. They want us to pay with our lives!" Mrs Zhao was extremely frightened.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xue Duan Sheng shook her off and pressed her onto the bed with a strange expression.

"He said that I was the one who harmed him that year. He said that he wanted to seek me out to repay her with his life, but it was clearly not me!" The one who harmed him, was you … "

"Whap." There was only a resounding slap, and Xue Duan Sheng fiercely gave the Zhao Clan a fierce slap. The Zhao Clan was knocked onto the bed by Xue Duan Sheng, and was stunned for a moment as he covered his face and looked at Xue Duan Sheng in a daze.

Xue Duan Sheng was afraid of the Zhao Clan going insane, so he said something unknown and hurriedly ordered to scare them. "All of you can leave."

"Yes." When the servants heard that he temporarily did not pursue the matter, they hurriedly left.

After everyone had left, Xue Duan Sheng's face was filled with rage. "You crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting? You almost committed a grave mistake!"

Mrs Zhao's face was burning in pain. Her head was slapped so hard that it was buzzing, but her nerves were gradually clearing up. I, old master, what happened to me just now? " The Zhao Clan noticed Xue Duan Sheng's gloomy expression and hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"What's the matter with you? "You were talking nonsense just now!" Xue Duan Sheng glanced at her in disgust.

"My lord, I have seen a ghost, my lord." Mrs Zhao repeated her words.

"Ridiculous, where did this demon come from? There are no ghosts in this world. " Xue Duan Sheng said resolutely, but in his heart, he felt slightly guilty.

"But I clearly saw it … It's that damned Han Clan … " Madame Zhao complained softly, and when she thought about it, she felt a lingering fear. She timidly pulled on Xue Duan Sheng's sleeve.

Xue Duan Sheng was even more afraid in her heart when she heard the words' Han Family. 'He looked left and right before trying her best to maintain a calm expression. "You must be feeling guilty for being a criminal and seeing things wrongly. Doubts arise in your heart." Xue Duan Sheng shook off her hand.

However, this action suddenly angered the Zhao clan. She was already restless and yearned for safety, so why did Xue Duan Sheng ruthlessly shake her off at this moment, and in addition to the swollen and red five-clawed imprint on her face from earlier, she roared hysterically with hatred in her heart, "The things that I personally saw could be fake? You're obviously the one who caused them to suffer. Why do I have a guilty conscience from being a thief? I think it's you they should be looking for."

"You crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting!" Xue Duan Sheng was unable to contain his rage, as he was worried that her words would be heard by the people outside the door.

"I'm not spouting nonsense! Back then, if you didn't have the intention to kill, why would I help you find Yang Er, and let him take the Han Family's maidservants daily to catch the medicine mixed with poison? This poison was given to me personally. "

"I-you've simply gone mad. Clearly you were the one who coveted the position of Lady Xue Mansion and first lured me into it." Xue Duan Sheng's weak point was precisely what she said, and it was difficult for her to argue with her, so she turned around to attack the Zhao Clan instead.

"Hehehe, it's obviously because you like the new and hate the old that you admire the glory!" Mrs Zhao refused to give in.

Xue Duan Sheng raised his hand and was about to hit the Zhao Clan.

At this moment, a voice rang out from outside the door. "Master, someone from the palace has arrived."

"What is it?" Even though Xue Duan Sheng's rage was unquenchable, he couldn't delay the matters of the palace. He hurriedly left Mrs Zhao and walked out.

"I'm not sure, but Eunuch Wei has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

"Oh? "Hurry up and leave." When Xue Duan Sheng heard Eunuch Wei, he was shocked in his heart. Eunuch Wei was a popular person by the emperor's side. Now that he had personally come, it was certain that the emperor had some important matters.

"Eunuch Wei, sorry for the wait." With a face full of smiles, he cupped his hands towards Eunuch Wei.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Xue Xiang, quickly follow me into the palace." Eunuch Wei did not smile. He shook his horsetail whisk and turned to leave.

"Oh, okay." Xue Duan Sheng noticed that Eunuch Wei's expression had become serious and indifferent. They all said that he was the emperor's barometer, and now that they saw him like this, something bad must have happened. Anxiety arose within Xue Duan Sheng's heart.

"Eunuch Wei, the Emperor summoned you urgently. What is it that you need to know?" On the way to the palace, when Duan Ling Tian saw that no one was around, he took out a Night Pearl and secretly stuffed it into the hands of Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei picked up the Night Pearl and raised it up for a look. Only then did his expression relax, "This, this old servant isn't too clear either, but after the king and your daughter entered the palace this morning, the emperor was furious. I presume that this might not be good."

"Ah!" Xue Duan Sheng went pale from shock when he heard this, and he felt uneasy in his heart. He had a bad premonition from the moment Mrs Zhao went insane, and it had now come true. Xue Duan Sheng was extremely worried and his footsteps were heavy, as if he was about to be escorted to the execution ground.

"Master Xue, how can we hurry? Otherwise, the emperor will be waiting anxiously for us later." Eunuch Wei urged.

"Oh, okay." Xue Duan Sheng agreed before hurriedly following along.

In his mind, however, he kept thinking about the strange things that had happened in the past two days. The Zhao Clan has no reason to see a ghost. The Emperor summoned him urgently again today, and the more Xue Duan Sheng sees, the more he feels that something isn't right.

"Could it be that someone already knows about this?" He knew very well what he had done. He probably wouldn't be able to dodge it this time.

Inside the Supreme Harmony Hall, Mu Zheng sat high up on the throne. He held a long imperial report in his hand. It said one sentence at a time, and it was all about the crimes of Xue Duan Sheng, the Zhao Clan, Second Brother Yang and the others. Mu Zheng finished reading all of this with tears in his eyes. His face was ashen, and his hands were trembling.

Suddenly, he slammed the table in anger and stood up, then immediately shouted angrily, "Call Xue Duan Sheng over to see me right now!"

"Yes." Eunuch Wei replied and quickly ran out.

Xue Luoyun and Mu Ying stood below in silence. Seeing the grim look on his face and the cold look on his face, the strong pressure from his aura caused everyone to not even dare to breathe loudly.

"Also, bring that Zhao Clan over!" Mu Zheng pondered for a moment before giving the order again.

"Yes." The other eunuch also trotted out.

Mu Zheng sat on the Dragon Throne, not saying a word. However, his face did not show any anger, instead, it was filled with grief.

Originally, he had been brooding over Xiao Die's death for so many years, and he felt that it was because he had betrayed her. As a result, she had married into the Xue Manor and died in depression.

However, he sometimes recalled that he was married to Xue Duan Sheng after all. He was the dignified appearance of a country, and his status was noble. He also deeply loved Little Butterfly, so Little Butterfly should be living a good life.

However, when he saw these crimes written on Mu Ying's imperial report today, his heart felt like it was about to bleed. He didn't expect that Little Butterfly would live such a miserable life in the Xue Estate. Not only did she receive the cold treatment from Xue Duan Sheng, she was even killed by him and the Zhao Clan in the end.

She had never told herself what she was like. If he had known that she was going to live such a miserable life, even if Mu Zheng had to abandon her, he would not have done so. Even if he had to risk his own life, he would have taken her out of the sea of suffering.

"Xiao Die, why are you so stupid?" Mu Zheng yelled again and again in his heart, full of regret.

"This subject greets Your Majesty." Xue Duan Sheng kowtowed to the ground and shouted for another year. As soon as he entered, he could feel the murderous atmosphere in the hall, as well as the angered expression of the emperor.

Looking at the two sides, Mu Sheng and Xue Ruoyun stood to the side. Xue Muyun angrily stared at him, his eyes filled with extreme disappointment. Xue Duan Sheng was so intelligent, so he naturally was able to guess what happened, and his heart had already become cold.

It seemed like Madame Zhao was right. There really was a ghost in this world. They had been waiting for an opportunity to travel like shadows. It wasn't that they didn't report, but that they would one day come and seek revenge on you before the time came.

"Lift your head up, show me what this is!" Mu Zheng picked up the imperial report and viciously smashed it on Xue Duan Sheng's head.

Xue Duan Sheng still had a trace of hope, so he knelt and crawled forward to pick up the imperial report, then quickly read it with trembling hands. Afterwards, he turned pale with fright and fell limply to the ground. "Your Majesty, this … this is a false accusation. This subject is wrongly accused."

Xue Duan Sheng was momentarily unable to find any other words to argue and could only cry out in injustice.

"I'll give you a few words of advice this time. Say it clearly and clearly. You have your reasons, what do you have to accuse me of?" Mu Zheng flicked his sleeve as he glared angrily at Xue Duan Sheng.

"What is written on this imperial report are the insane words of the Zhao family. His wife was frightened and her words are nonsense. You can't believe it."

"Nonsense? Do you think I'm a three year old child that easy to fool? " Mu Zheng flew into a rage.

"This subject does not mean that."

"Come on, pass it to the Zhao family."

After Mu Zheng finished speaking, he saw two people pushing Mrs Zhao into the hall.

This was the first time Madame Zhao had come to such a dignified place. When she saw the emperor looking so dignified and lofty, she was so frightened that her legs went limp and she collapsed on the ground. She didn't dare to move an inch as her entire body shivered. These past few days of consecutive shocks had already caused her to lose her usual self-control and grace.
