Along the way, Mu Li was in a particularly good mood, chatting and laughing with Mu Feng and Mo Xi.
"Brother, now that you have merged with the soul of the God of War, your cultivation must have greatly increased, right?" Mu Li asked curiously.
Mu Feng smiled slightly: "It has indeed improved, but it still needs continuous practice to consolidate."
Mo Xi interjected, "With Big Brother here, this trip back to the palace will surely be smoother."
The three of them quickly returned to the palace.
"Sister, why can't we walk in openly? Why do we have to sneak in secretly?" Mu Feng followed Mu Li all the way, carefully avoiding the guards, and came to the Yangxin Palace where Huangdi was.
"Brother, because we don't want to reveal our identities, we happened to meet the Queen Mother before. She thought we were disciples of Kunlun Mountain, so she didn't question us too much. If she knew our identities, I'm afraid not only us, but also the Emperor would be in danger!" Mu Li said.
Mo Xi nodded.
"Okay, big brother will listen to you." Mu Feng said with a smile.
The three of them sneaked into the Yangxin Palace, only to see that the emperor was still unconscious, and the empress was guarding his bedside with a worried look on her face.
"Empress." Mu Li called softly.
The queen was startled, but when she saw it was them, she breathed a sigh of relief: "You are finally back."
Mu Li walked to the bedside and carefully checked the emperor's condition: "Your Majesty, has His Majesty changed in the past two days?"
The Queen shook her head: "Still the same as always, still unconscious."
Mu Feng said: "We will find a way to detoxify it as soon as possible."
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
"Someone is coming, let's hide first." Mo Xi said.
Upon hearing this, several people quickly hid behind the screen.
A palace maid came in. After paying her respects to the empress, she helped the emperor tidy up his bedding, poured him a glass of water, and then left.
"It was a false alarm." Mu Li patted her chest, then asked doubtfully, "But what is her purpose in coming? Your Majesty has the Empress and Eunuch Fu by his side. How can it not be her turn to serve you?"
The Queen and the others were shocked when they heard this, "Come, catch her!"
"Yes!" responded the Royal Guards at the door.
"Li'er, come and see if His Majesty is okay!" the Queen shouted anxiously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. His Majesty is fine for now! But we should still check His Majesty's bed and bedding carefully to prevent anyone from tampering with it." Mu Li suggested.
"Okay, Eunuch Fu, please find two reliable people to check carefully and change the bedding!" the queen ordered.
"Yes." Eunuch Fu immediately arranged for someone to come in and check the dragon bed inside and out, and replaced the bedding with new ones.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these old beddings?" asked Eunuch Fu.
The Queen looked at Mu Li, "Li'er, what do you think?"
Mu Li and Mo Xi walked forward and took a closer look, but found nothing special and were a little confused for a moment.
"Am I really overthinking it?" Mu Li said to herself.
"Master, you didn't think too much. Ask someone to take apart the quilt. There are poisonous insects in the cotton! I hate these dirty bugs the most. They stink!" The voice of the little phoenix sounded in my mind.
"Empress, Eunuch Fu, please step back quickly, there is a poisonous insect in the cotton!" Mu Li shouted hurriedly.
"Ah?" Everyone stepped back.
"Brother Crown Prince, big brother, I will open the bedding later. Please help me keep an eye on the poisonous insect and don't let it get into the human body!" Mu Li warned.
"Sister, let your brother take it apart, and you just watch from the side." Mu Feng couldn't bear to let his sister do such a dangerous thing. He drew out the magic sword he carried with him, and with a few swishes, he picked out the cotton in the quilt.
Mo Xi was quick to set up a barrier to prevent the poisonous insects from running around.
"Oh my God, they are so cruel. Not only do they poison me, they also want to plant a poison? They are simply insane!" The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over when she saw the thin and long bloodworms running around in the cotton!
"Mother, don't get angry and hurt yourself. Your son will make them pay the price!" Mo Xi stepped forward to support the queen and comforted her.
"Okay." The queen nodded and tried to calm down.
Mu Li threw a few fire-control talismans into the barrier, burning all the bedding and poisonous insects before removing the barrier.
"Eunuch Fu, please ask someone to clean up!" Mu Li said.
"yes."
After the queen dismissed her attendants, everyone sat down and continued to discuss countermeasures.
"Empress, are there any suspicious people in the palace recently?" Mu Feng asked.
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "If you want to talk about suspicious things, then the nanny beside the Queen Mother has been acting a little suspiciously lately."
"Then let's start with her." Mu Li said.
"But you must be careful not to get discovered," the queen warned.
The three of them left the Yangxin Palace and began to secretly investigate the nanny beside the empress dowager.
After several days of tracking and observation, they found that this nanny often went to the cold palace late at night.
"Cold Palace? What's there?" Mo Xi asked puzzledly.
Mu Li said, "Go and see for yourself."
One night, they quietly followed the nanny into the cold palace.
The cold palace was eerie and filled with a chill.
The nanny walked into a dilapidated house. The three of them quietly approached with invisibility talismans on their shoulders and looked inside through the cracks in the window.
There was a man in black in the room, talking to the nanny.
"I can't hear what they are saying." Mu Feng frowned.
Mu Li took out a magic weapon from her bosom: "Use this."
This magic weapon can amplify sound, and they finally heard the conversation between the two people clearly.
"How's it going?" asked the man in black.
The nanny replied, "Everything is going well. The insect has been inserted. We are just waiting for the emperor to pass away."
