Seeing the empress standing at the door of the imperial study with a frown on her face, the female official knelt down immediately.
"Your Majesty, the patriarch of the Wu Ma family, Wu Ma Quande, left the capital five days ago."
"Where did you go?!" The empress panicked and asked anxiously.
"To Crescent City."
"What!?" The empress widened her eyes in shock and her body couldn't help shaking twice.
She made arrangements for a long time, but the Wu Ma family had already left the capital.
She should have guessed that the Wu Ma family must have some special way to know whether Wu Ma Chaofu was alive or dead.
She just didn't expect that the people of the Wu Ma family would leave the capital without even telling her.
This is over...
The Wu Ma family went to Xinyue City, so can she still keep secret what she asked people to do?
If that thing succeeds, no one in the entire Xiliang Kingdom will be able to say a word against her.
But that thing failed, and she had no way to defend herself...
"Your Majesty!" The female official looked at the empress who was shaking and pale, and quickly stood up and stepped forward to support the empress's arm.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your dragon body..."
The female official looked at the empress in confusion. She really couldn't understand why the empress was so excited about the Wu Ma family going to Xinyue City.
The empress couldn't hear the female official's words at all. All she could think about was the Wu Ma family finding out the cause of Wu Ma Chaofu's death and forcing her to abdicate...
The Wu Ma family has more say in Xiliang than the empress herself...
The empress took several deep breaths and managed to calm herself down.
"Go quickly and call the General of the Cavalry, Shi Qiang..."
Seeing the empress's anxious expression, the female official quickly replied, "Yes..."
A moment later, General Shi Qiang and the female official hurried to the imperial study.
The Empress left Shi Qiang alone in the Imperial Study...
After the female official stood guard at the door of the imperial study for a quarter of an hour, Shi Qiang left the imperial study quickly with a serious expression on his face.
On that day, Shi Qiang took the military token given by the empress and led 30,000 troops straight to Xinyue City...

“Ouch~~ Ouch~~”
"Hiss~"
Zheng Shiqi lay on the bed, grimacing in pain from the wound on his butt.
"Ouch~~ Help~~"
"Someone come quickly..."
Zheng Shiqi looked around with horror on his face.
He now feels like he's in a fog.
Zheng Shiqi frowned tightly.
He thought he was dreaming, but the pain in his butt was so real.
He couldn't even think of all this as a dream.
Zheng Shiqi recalled the strange scenes he had seen before, and was so scared that the hairs on his body stood up.
"Husband~~"
Zheng Shiqi licked his lips and shouted in a trembling voice.
In the empty house, no one responded to him.
Zheng Shiqi had a sad face.
"Madam~~"
It's over, the goblin ate his wife, and it's his turn next.
As expected, demons appear in troubled times. After a drought of more than half a year, even ghosts could no longer hold back and came out to cause trouble.
When Zheng Shiqi thought of this, tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.
Just now he had vaguely heard the sounds of lightning and thunder, which further confirmed the fact that ghosts were causing trouble.
"Cry, cry, cry! Why are you crying on such a good day? It's unlucky!"
Old Madam Zheng came back with a chuckle. As soon as she stepped into the room, she heard Zheng Shiqi's screams and howls, and her good mood was instantly ruined.
Zheng Shiqi, who was crying sadly, was stunned when he suddenly heard Wen Qingmei's voice.
He looked up at the door tremblingly, his eyes blurred with tears, and vaguely saw a woman standing at the door.
Zheng Shiqi quickly raised his hand and wiped away his tears in panic, then looked carefully at the door again.
After seeing clearly that it was indeed Wen Qingmei standing at the door, Zheng Shiqi curled his lips and cried out in a tearful voice,
"Madam~~~you weren't eaten by the ghost, wuwu..."
"Madam, come and hold me, let's run..."
Wen Qingmei rolled her eyes speechlessly at Zheng Shiqi's useless look.
She was really blind to fall for such a loser.
The younger ones in the Ma family are more stable than him.
"Run away, run away, you rotten ass, how can you run away?"
Wen Qingmei looked at Zheng Shiqi with disdain and strode into the house.
She walked to the couch opposite the bed and sat down. She glanced at the wound on Zheng Shiqi's buttocks and pulled the corners of her lips slightly.
"I'm telling you, there's a shortage of medicinal herbs right now. Just lie down quietly and don't make any trouble."
"If the wound opens again, you'll just have to endure it. It would be a waste if I don't have medicine for you..."
