"Tsk tsk, it seems he died with his eyes open."
Afraid that Master Yun's ghost might be acting strangely, Mu Nanyan took some talisman paper, stuck it on his body, and chanted a few spells.
“Ah…” As soon as Taoist Master Yun died, his soul instantly turned into a fierce ghost.
The talisman paper trapped him, and the ghost immediately let out a shrill scream.
"Break" the corpse disappeared.
"Okay, Master Yun's soul has been reduced to ashes and can no longer make waves." Mu Nanyan said casually.
This Taoist Master Yun has killed so many people. Killing him now can be considered as getting rid of a threat to the people.
The Imperial Master wanted to take action, but Mu Nanyan was faster than him.
Mu Nanyan looked at his movements and smiled. "Sorry, Imperial Master, I was one step faster than you."
Seeing Mu Nanyan's smug look, the Imperial Master looked at her lovingly. "It's okay, little princess."
Chen Xi looked at this scene, and couldn't hide the envy in her eyes. She wished her master was the imperial master.
As departure was imminent, and since her wish had been fulfilled, she had nothing left to cherish in this world.
She walked up to Mu Nanyan and expressed her sincere gratitude to her.
"Can I call you Yan'er?"
Mu Nanyan nodded.
Chen Xi stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her head, but then he remembered something and pulled his hand back.
"If you hadn't brought me here, I might still be doing bad things for Taoist Yun, and I would never know that my mother actually treated me like that."
"Thank you for helping me solve all these mysteries and letting me let go of my resentment. I finally have a chance to be reincarnated."
After saying this, she faced them and bowed deeply.
Afterwards, Chen Xi's figure became increasingly blurred until it disappeared.
Mu Nanyan suddenly felt a little sad. Such a young girl didn't get to feel the warmth of this world during her lifetime. She hoped that she could live happily when she came back.
The Imperial Master touched Mu Nanyan's head and comforted her: "Little Princess, Chen Xi will definitely meet a good family in her next life and become a happy little girl. Don't worry."
Mu Nanyan didn't want to make the old master worry, so she curled her lips. "Well, I also believe that she will live well."
"Okay, now that Taoist Master Yun's problem has been solved, it's time to solve Prime Minister Xiao's problem. I found something good in the basement." She smiled with some gloating.
It seems that children are not easily affected by emotions, the national teacher thought.
When Mu Nanyan was about to settle accounts with Prime Minister Xiao, Emperor Hui and the Queen Mother came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Welcome to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Welcome to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were kneeling on the ground, with Prime Minister Xiao and his wife Luo kneeling in the front.
Emperor Hui sat on the high seat, drinking tea calmly, and did not let them get up.
He glanced at Prime Minister Xiao and saw that he was kneeling so hard that he could hardly bear it. He laughed secretly in his heart but did not show it on his face.
After a long while, until Prime Minister Xiao's legs were almost numb from kneeling, he slowly said, "Stand up."
"Oh, I am so confused. I almost forgot that you are still kneeling, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister Xiao spat in his heart: Bah, you actually forgot?
He climbed up tremblingly, but almost sprained his ankle because his feet were numb.
Luo, who was standing by, held him and whispered to him, "Master, please stand firm."
When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she felt inexplicably happy.
Ever since he learned from Yan'er that he was poisoned by someone sent by her sworn brother, Prime Minister Xiao, he felt a mouthful of blood blocking his throat, and urgently needed to vent his anger.
However, she knew that the emperor would definitely not let him off easily.
So, she came here to watch the show today.
"Prime Minister, is it because you are old and your legs and feet are not convenient?"
"However, from now on, you should rest at home and don't have to worry about the affairs of the court." Emperor Hui said expressionlessly.
Emperor Hui pretended to be concerned about Prime Minister Xiao, but in fact he wanted him to give up his power.
Although he knew that Prime Minister Xiao would not obey, he also wanted to dampen his enthusiasm.
What? You want me to rest at home?
The plan to rest was fake, but the real purpose was to deprive me of my real power.
You kid, you are really something.
How can the truth be what you wish?
Prime Minister Xiao quickly stood up and bowed to Emperor Hui.
"I thank Your Majesty for your concern. I know my body is in poor condition and I am willing to serve Your Majesty till my death."
Humph, this old fox knows everything.
Prime Minister Xiao asked him, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what is the matter with you coming here today?"
Emperor Hui glanced at him and snorted, "My little princess is missing. I heard someone say that there is a baby here with the Prime Minister. The person described the baby as Yan'er."
"Prime Minister, is this true?" Emperor Hui said word by word.
Prime Minister Xiao cried out in injustice, "Your Majesty, I have never been to the harem, how could the little princess come to my house?"
"Your Majesty, please do not put unwarranted charges on me."
"How dare you, Xiao Yan, to commit treason." Emperor Hui's face instantly turned cold.
"If you want evidence, I'll give it to you." He threw a sign on the ground.
Prime Minister Xiao was shocked. Wasn't this the badge he gave to Taoist Yun to facilitate his actions? How did it end up in Emperor Hui's hands?
He couldn't figure it out.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Hui looked at his puzzled expression and knew that he was thinking about the brand.
As expected, Prime Minister Xiao was unwilling to admit it and argued, "Your Majesty, a thief broke into my house a few days ago. I must have been robbed by the thief at that time. The thief went to the palace and landed in the palace."
Emperor Hui: I have never seen such a shameless person.
Just when Prime Minister Xiao was about to say something, the Imperial Master came holding Mu Nanyan.
When Prime Minister Xiao saw Mu Nanyan, his face lit up with joy. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, look, it was the Imperial Master who took the little princess away."
"I have been recuperating at home these days and have not seen the princess at all. They can all testify for me."
[This cunning fox is bullying me for not being able to speak, right?]
[Are you saying this in a hurry to distance yourself from the matter? Don’t think that you can let go of your attempt to frame me.]
[Haha, let them testify. They are all your people, why wouldn’t they help you prove it?]
When Emperor Hui saw Mu Nanyan, his brows were filled with endless joy.
He took Mu Nanyan from the Imperial Master's arms, hugged her, and felt a lot more at ease.
Hearing Prime Minister Xiao's constant quibbling, Emperor Hui frowned and said, "Grandmaster, tell me, what's going on?"
The Imperial Master was called out and stood up and said, "I found the little princess in the basement of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was so pitiful at the time, so small, locked up in a dark room."
"If it weren't for my suspicion, the little princess wouldn't be where she is right now." The Imperial Master said with a sad face, making everyone feel distressed.
What? The little princess is so small and so cute, but they dared to lock her up in the basement. Are they still human?
This Prime Minister Xiao is worse than a beast. He dares to bully the Emperor's daughter. Even an outsider like me can't stand it.
Prime Minister Xiao's behavior undoubtedly angered everyone.
