Empress Wen in the palace was frantic. Her younger brother was oblivious to the danger and insisted on going against the goddess, ignoring all her attempts to persuade him.
That goddess claims to be a god, but who knows she's actually a spoiled, willful, and capricious ghost!
"Go, send this letter out of the palace. Make sure it's delivered to Xin'er." Empress Wen gritted her teeth; she still couldn't bear to watch her brother die.
The confidant delivered the letter, and Wenxin opened it, reading it quickly. He sighed and shook his head, thinking that his sister had become far too cautious since entering the palace.
She has completely lost the spirit of her youth and has become as superstitious as a country bumpkin.
"Since that swindler is coming to court tomorrow, I, the Marquis, will expose her deception in front of everyone!"
The Wen family was already prominent, with a Duke title. After the Empress was enthroned, her maternal family was granted additional titles as per custom, and Wen Xin received the title of Earl.
He made great contributions in this decisive victory over the Hu barbarians, penetrating deep into their court to sow discord between the ruler and his ministers, and single-handedly accelerating their downfall.
A count is promoted to marquis, and it takes three generations for such a privileged person to be promoted. Once he has made up his mind about something, it is very difficult to change it.
Wen Xin sneered and ordered, "Bring over those swindlers locked up in the backyard."

This is because it features Liu the Goddess, who can communicate with the spirit world; the Third Fairy, who raises fox spirits; and the Taoist priest from the White Sheep Temple, skilled in alchemy… all renowned “experts” in matters of gods and ghosts.
"Tomorrow you all need to perform your magic tricks, and then tell them the secret, understand?"
The experts looked hesitant, but nodded nonetheless.
There's nothing we can do; our lives are in other people's hands.
Wenxin smiled with satisfaction, feeling confident of victory. No matter how ingenious the trickery was, with this group of people leading the way, His Majesty and the ministers would realize they had been deceived.
Even if they can't, as the saying goes, rivals are enemies, and this group of people can expose the scam if they get together.
"You damned liar, your time is up!"
