C27 Serves Him Right

The guards behind him rushed into the room and brought out the Buddha statue.

"Ah, Mommy, Mommy, coax -"

"Emperor, the evil aura that offended the Empress Dowager is in this palace."

A hunchbacked old man jumped out from behind the crowd. He was wearing a Daoist robe.

He squinted his small eyes and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

He was looking around the palace like a snake.

After looking around, the poisonous snake suddenly stuck out its tongue and stared at Concubine Ren.

"Hu -"

It suddenly jumped in front of Concubine Ren, bared its teeth at her, and spat out a string of flames from its mouth.

Concubine Ren was so scared that she covered her chest and threw herself into Chi Hongze's arms, "Your Majesty, you scared me to death."

"Your Majesty, this woman is too evil. I'm afraid she has something dirty on her!"

The old Daoist pushed Concubine Ren away and spat out another mouthful of fire. The flame quickly burned along his hair.

"Ah!"

Concubine Ren screamed, and the palace maid beside her quickly extinguished the fire.

"Ah! My hair!"

Concubine Ren cried sweetly. More than half of her long hair was burned, emitting an unpleasant burnt smell.

Then he threw himself into Chi Hongze's arms, glared fiercely at the old Daoist, and screamed, "Your Majesty, this mysterious fraud injured me. You must avenge me and beat him to death."

After receiving no comforting response for a long time, he raised his head and saw that her phoenix eyes were looking at the god that was carried out.

He looked down at her with disgust.

Concubine Ren was a little flustered. She thought that Chi Hongze did not like her taking the initiative to invite the gods and buddhas into the palace, so she quickly told him the truth:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the empress dowager had a headache, so I invited the gods and buddhas from Lotus Flower Temple overnight. I want to abstain from meat and pray to Buddha for the empress dowager's health."

"Humph!"

Chi Hongze revealed a look of annoyance and pushed her to the ground. He said angrily, "This is the god you invited back? I think it should be Evil Buddha!"

At some point, the red cloth covering the Buddha statue had been pulled away.

On the lotus seat, a mud statue was sitting cross-legged. It was wearing a Buddhist robe and had one hand in front of it, while the other palm was placed on its knee.

It looked no different from a normal Buddha statue.

However, the Buddha statue's face was extremely ferocious, and a pair of sharp fangs could be seen between its thick lips.

It didn't look like a benevolent Buddha at all. It was obviously an evil Buddha worshiped by the Red Lotus Demonic Cult!

Many of the concubines were so scared that their faces turned pale. They all took a step back and looked at Concubine Ren with eyes full of disgust.

Because the Red Lotus Cult believed in the evil Buddha, there were many believers among the people. It was extremely evil, and it was a taboo for the royal family.

He didn't expect that Concubine Ren would invite Evil Buddha into the palace in order to win his favor.

Concubine Ren was also shocked. She immediately screamed and crawled over, "How could this be!"

Grabbing Chi Hongze's robe, he said, "Your Majesty, someone is trying to frame me! Your Majesty, you must believe me. Liuzi in my palace can testify that I invited gods and buddhas..."

While crying, Liuzi stood up from the crowd and kneeled down with a plop.

"Liuzi, quickly explain to the Emperor that I really did invite a god."

A trace of hope appeared in Concubine Ren's eyes.

Liuzi looked at Concubine Ren, his eyes filled with hatred, and said softly:

"Replying to the Emperor, it was all done by the servant ordered by Concubine Ren. The Empress said to please return to Evil Buddha to make the Empress Dowager seriously ill, and then the Empress would take the opportunity to treat the Empress Dowager with evil medicine.

This way, the Empress Dowager would take her especially seriously, and one day, she might even replace Lady Empress..."

"Liuzi! What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever say such words!"

Concubine Ren lost control of her emotions and rushed over, "Tell the truth to the Emperor, or else I won't let you off!"

"Everything this servant says is the truth. I don't dare to lie to the Emperor."

After saying this, Liuzi got up from the ground, suddenly rushed out, and smashed his head against a pillar.

The dead cannot testify!

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is too coincidental. Maybe someone wants to frame Concubine Ren."

Having seen enough of the show, Yun Zhiyu slowly walked out and spoke at the right time.

When her gaze swept across Liuzi's corpse, she revealed a trace of pity and continued:

"Last night, the empress dowager had a splitting headache, so today, Noble Consort Hui invited a warlock into the palace. The warlock was sure that there was an evil spirit in the palace.

Concubine Ren just happened to find an evil Buddha here. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."

Her voice was as light as water, but it set off waves in everyone's hearts.

She changed the topic and brought up Noble Consort Hui again.

Seeing that, Noble Consort Hui frowned and hurriedly knelt down to defend herself.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, there were rumors of ghosts in the palace. I was worried about the emperor, so I invited a warlock to enter the palace. I didn't know that this would cause such a thing."

Yun Zhiyu took a step forward and gave her a helping hand, "Noble Consort Hui, quickly get up. There are rumors of ghosts in the palace. It was good of you to invite a warlock into the palace.

Why are you panicking?"

"Bitch, so it was you who wanted to frame me!"

Concubine Ren cried and threw herself at him. Yun Zhiyu dodged without batting an eyelid. With a push of her palm, Noble Consort Hui could not control her balance.

Being grabbed by the hair by Concubine Ren, the two of them immediately rolled into a ball and started to fight like crazy women.

"Ah!"

One of them pulled her hair, while the other scratched her face. How could she still have the demeanor of a normal imperial concubine?

Chi Hongze's eyes revealed anger, and his face was extremely gloomy as he shouted, "Hurry up and pull the Imperial Concubine away!"

"Mommy Ami!"

However, that Daoist priest still felt that it was not messy enough. He shouted randomly and rushed over, spitting fire at the two people who were rolling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Noble Consort Hui's body has also been infected with evil energy. She needs me to cast a spell to get rid of the evil!"

"Hu -"

"Ah!"

The two of them were engulfed in flames, and the flames on their hair quickly burned onto their bodies.

Yun Zhiyu added vinegar to the fire and said, "Don't extinguish it yet. This divine fire is used to eliminate evil!"

Seeing that, the palace maids who were pulling the fight retreated one after another. Not a single one of them dared to go forward and pull it.

When the two of them were rolling on the floor in pain, she shouted, "What are you waiting for? Pull the ladies away!"

"Emperor, I am wronged. My family is loyal to the king. I will never do anything wrong to the king."

Concubine Ren laid on the ground in a sorry state. In the end, she brought up the Chu Family and made a last-ditch struggle.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly rushed over and whispered something into Chi Hongze's ear.

Chi Hongze's expression changed drastically. He no longer had any regard for Concubine Ren.

A drop of water dripped down from his handsome face as he sneered, "What a great Chu Family! I held the imperial examinations for the sake of becoming one of the pillars of the country. However, a Chu Family dared to abuse their power and secretly changed the exam papers. Not only that, but they even broke my legs, causing me to bear the notoriety of the world!"

"Your Majesty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Concubine Ren screamed miserably, but her body was limp on the ground, and her face was filled with despair.

"Tonight's matter of Concubine Ren will be handed over to the Empress to handle."

After saying that coldly, he angrily flicked his sleeves and left.

"This..." As for how to deal with Concubine Ren, Yun Zhiyu seemed to be in a difficult position.

Seeing her hesitation, Noble Consort Hui covered her scratched face and said viciously, "Concubine Ren murdered the empress dowager, so she should be beaten to death!"

When she said this, all the concubines present looked at her in fear.

Feeling that she had said something wrong on impulse, Noble Consort Hui was about to change her words.

Yun Zhiyu was waiting for her to say this, and lightly followed up: "Then let's do as Noble Consort Hui says and beat him to death."

"Ah!"

After a few miserable screams, Concubine Ren became silent.
