It was indeed a trap.
But where was it exposed?
Before the man in the enchantress mask could figure out what was going on, he saw the empress walking out of the palace. She was wearing a gorgeous golden long dress with the hem dragging on the ground.
She looked down, her beautiful face covered with frost, her eyes twinkling like cold stars, her face without a trace of emotion, her expression serene.
"I hate your cold eyes. It makes me uncomfortable." Anger flashed in the eyes of the enchantress mask.
"You're still wearing a mask here? Xuan Ning, you're rebelling." The empress said coldly.
"You knew it was me?"
The enchantress mask was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to take off the mask, revealing a pretty face. It was the beautiful woman Princess Xuan Ning.
"The Empress was murdered by someone wearing masks, and I was too late to rescue her. It seems this wonderful drama can no longer be performed."
Princess Xuanning stared at the Empress, snorted softly, and continued, "I wasn't the one who rebelled. I simply sought to take back the eldest son's inheritance rights that belonged to the Great Sage."
"And you, who forced our mother to abdicate and made yourself emperor, and seized the throne from our eldest sister, were the true rebels."
The empress said nothing and looked at Princess Xuanning coldly.
At this time, at the gate of the imperial palace, several people were guarding a young man, who was Situ Xiu. This was Princess Xuan Ning's backup plan to use Situ Xiu to threaten the empress.
"Oh no! My mother is not good at speaking and can't talk, and there is no one to help her. Oh, it's really pitiful."
Situ Xiu sighed softly.
The people on both sides looked at him strangely, as if to say, it's already this late, and you still have the mood to sigh.
You are not a fool, are you?
"If it were me, I wouldn't let them compete any more and would just start fighting. I don't know what my mother would think."
Situ Xiu shook his head.
"Don't talk, you can't even protect yourself now." Someone couldn't help but say.
Situ Xiu turned his head to look over. He couldn't see his face clearly because of the mask, but he had a good figure. He said, "Let me tell you something. In my place, there is a saying that villains die because they talk too much. Think about it, think about it carefully."
“............”That person.
"So, I never compete too much and basically never give my opponents any chance. But my second aunt is different. She is so pitiful and has sacrificed so much for this day."
"I don't know if you've ever heard of sting operations. I suspect the Empress did this, but I have no evidence, only suspicions."
"However, after seeing this scene today, I have half the evidence that the Empress was stinging the law, so my second aunt unfortunately took the bait and fell into the Empress's trap."
"Do you know about fishing expedition? If you don't understand, let me explain it simply. I am the bait, Second Aunt is the fish, and the Empress is the fishing rod. The fish eats the bait, and the Empress fishes. Do you understand this explanation?"
Situ Xiu was talking to himself.
The people on both sides had frowns under their masks and looked annoyed.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and Situ Xiu saw clearly that the empress appeared in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, he knocked several guards away, and then took him away.
In the palace square, the empress suddenly disappeared. Princess Xuanning looked around in shock, and so did the others. Only the man with the white mask turned around and looked behind him.
"Her cultivation seems to have improved a lot."
As soon as the words fell.
The empress appeared in front of everyone again with Situ Xiu. Princess Xuan Ning looked as if she had seen a ghost and was extremely shocked.
"How is it possible? How did you find him?"
Divine consciousness!
Definitely this one.
Situ Xiu looked at the empress in surprise. Being able to see him from hundreds of meters away was something that ordinary warriors could not do. Only those who had reached the Golden Core Realm could do it, relying only on spiritual sense instead of eyes.
How high is her cultivation level?
The Empress's face was expressionless. "Are you going to use him to threaten me? Is this your trump card?"
"Good nephew, don't listen to your mother. I'm going to help you test whether your mother is so cold-blooded."
Princess Xuan Ning looked at Situ Xiu with a smile and continued, "It seems that your mother treats you very well, right?"
"Well, what my aunt said makes sense." Situ Xiu blinked and raised his thumb.
They sang in unison and were quite harmonious.
Then, the empress cast a cold glance at Situ Xiu. "When I banished you from the palace, I thought you were smart enough to not make a fuss or ask questions. Now you're being stupid again?"
"Mom, what bad intentions could Second Aunt have? She was just confused for a moment and didn't think clearly. I suggest giving her a beating."
Situ Xiu blinked innocently.
Princess Xuanning's face turned ugly when she heard this.
The Empress didn't understand what "Mom" meant, but she understood the following sentence and said in a deep voice, "Speak properly and don't talk nonsense."
"Oh," Situ Xiu smiled and waved at Princess Xuan Ning, "Come on, Second Aunt. If you lose, I will plead for you."
“.........”Everyone.
How stupid is this kid?
The situation is still unclear now. Princess Xuan Ning brought so many people, while the Empress only had one person. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Princess Xuan Ning was sure to win.
The empress glanced at Situ Xiu coldly, her brows twitching slightly, and she tried hard to maintain the expression on her face. She almost couldn't help but punch him.
Princess Xuanning laughed in anger, "My dear nephew, your second aunt thanks you first and will not embarrass you afterwards. You are still the fourth prince of the Great Sage..."
"Cough cough." The man with the white mask coughed twice.
"Third sister, surrender quickly." Princess Xuan Ning also realized that something was wrong and this turned into a verbal battle.
"Go back to the palace."
The empress's voice was cold.
Situ Xiu smiled helplessly, glanced at the thousands of people, turned around and walked towards the palace.
