Chapter 102: Now! Taking the opportunity to mention the Taoist nun

Hawking Chi tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, thinking deeply.

It is only a matter of time before Shen Danying gets pregnant. There is really no need to rush to murder Lady Liu's child.

Not to mention Shen Che, Shen's father had just been promoted by him to be the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

How could Shen Danying take action against Lady Liu at this time? If his secret was exposed, wouldn't he be ruining his own future and that of the Shen family?

His eyes turned slightly, and he reached out his hand to Shen Danying, his voice was light but gentle, "Get up."

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Shen Danying's face instantly looked much better, but his tears flowed even more fiercely, "Yes!"

Su Meiren saw this scene, and the pride that had just appeared in her eyes disappeared in an instant, especially when she reached out to hold Huo Jinchi's hand, the sight of their hands intertwined still deeply stimulated her, making her even more jealous.

"All the evidence in this matter points to Shen Danying. Is His Majesty going to believe her one-sided story and let her off so easily?" She couldn't help but speak in a shrill voice. "Lady Liu is still lying in there!"

The queen glanced at her but did not stop her. Instead, she looked at Hawking Chi, obviously very dissatisfied with his treatment.

But of course she would not force the emperor.

Anyway, there was this stupid Sumerian charging in the front and breaking through the formation.

Huo Jinchi looked at Lady Su with dark and cold eyes, "It is not your turn to comment on what I want to do!"

"How dare I question the emperor?" Concubine Su slowly lowered her head under his gaze, not daring to speak so harshly, "I am just speaking up for Concubine Liu."

"Sister, remember that there has always been a grudge between me and Miss Liu. Why are you feeling sorry for her now?" Shen Danying retorted.

Concubine Su raised her eyes, glanced at her, then lowered them and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, although Concubine Liu and I had some verbal disputes, they were all trivial matters. Her current experience makes me feel that we share the same suffering. Naturally, I am unwilling to let the murderer who hurt her go!"

"It's too early for you to draw conclusions now, sister!"

"We have all the evidence, so you can't argue!"

Shen Danying snorted softly, "Everything still needs to be decided by the Emperor. It's not something that can be decided by just your words!"

"Stop talking!" Huo Jinchi shouted coldly.

Right now!

This is the opportunity Yunqin has been waiting for!

Yun Qin immediately stepped forward and supported Lady Su, who was about to speak in an agitated manner.

"My beauty, it's getting late. It's time for your morning prayers. Didn't Taoist nun Qiu Ming tell you to burn three pieces of yellow paper every morning?"

Yun Qin's voice was very soft, as if she was speaking only to Concubine Su, but everyone in the hall heard it clearly.

Lady Su was now intent on killing Shen Daning, and her nerves were in a state of extreme tension. Suddenly, she heard the three words "Nun Qiu Ming". She was frightened for a moment, and she overreacted, and pushed Yun Qin away.

Yun Qin was caught off guard and hit her waist hard on the corner of the table next to her. She gasped in pain.

This look made Hawking frown slightly.

But Yun Qin didn't care about herself and tried to pull Concubine Su, whispering: "Concubine, the Empress is in charge here, why should you make the Emperor angry?"

He looked as if he was considering the Sumerians completely.

"Daoist Nun Qiu Ming specifically instructed me to do this. Otherwise, the previous temple building would have been in vain. You should go back quickly."

Hearing her mention Taoist nun Qiu Ming again, Lady Su's expression became even uglier, and she was flustered and anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about!" She shouted at Xin'er beside her, "Hurry up and help her out!"

Xin'er rushed forward, grabbed Yunqin's arm tightly, and tried to pull her out.

"Wait!" Shen Danying suddenly shouted.

She saw all of Lady Su's fear and anxiety, and after hearing the name "Nun Qiu Ming" twice in succession, she suddenly had an idea.

Just like the Emperor had consciously thought that Concubine Liu was taking elixirs, when mentioning Taoist priests and nuns, one can't help but think that they can refine elixirs, and there will naturally be no shortage of cinnabar in Taoist temples!

Besides the Yu Hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can't the Taoist nuns here also bring cinnabar in from outside the palace?

Shen Danying suppressed his momentary excitement, looked at Lady Su with cold eyes, and asked, "Sister, who is this Taoist Qiu Ming?"

"Yes, yes..." Su Meiren took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and spoke smoothly, "She is the Taoist nun I invited to the temple."

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? The Queen knows about this."

Huo Jinchi also noticed that this matter was strange again and immediately looked at the queen.

Suddenly being dragged into this, the Queen glared at Concubine Su, but now she had to speak up, "It was Concubine Su who came to me and said that she was troubled by nightmares every day and wanted to find Master Zhenjing to perform some rituals. I saw that she was pitiful and agreed. Who knew that she would become even more aggressive and invite a Taoist nun into the palace. I have already destroyed her Taoist temple and chased her out of the palace."

Once there were clues, Concubine Su's sudden appearance to force the emperor to convict Shen Danying also became suspicious, not to mention that she was the first to suggest that the Ministry of Internal Affairs make the cinnabar bracelet when no one had any idea just now.

It also shows that she was the one who knew best among the people present that the Imperial Household Department had cinnabar bracelets.

Huo Jinchi looked at Lady Su with his dark eyes for a moment, then said to Xu An, "Send someone to question that Taoist nun!"

He had the same idea as Shen Danying, that a Taoist nun could also bring in cinnabar.

Is there really a problem? It would be faster to just arrest the person and ask him rather than listening to them arguing here!

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Lady Su clenched her sleeves tightly. However, she felt a little relieved when she thought that the Taoist nun should have been dealt with by her father and brother long ago.

She glanced at Yun Qin with viciousness in her eyes. It was this little bitch who almost ruined her business!

Having achieved her goal, Yun Qin felt a little relieved. Facing Lady Su's stare, she shrank her shoulders in fear, looking terrified and heartbroken.

However, she did not lower her head immediately. Instead, she raised her eyes and glanced at Hawking Chi quietly, then immediately lowered her eyes again.

Huo Jinchi was looking at her at this moment. He saw that she was scared and subconsciously wanted to look for him, but seemed to be worried about being noticed, so he quickly closed his eyes.

He suddenly felt uncomfortable and looked at Su Meiren with increasing impatience.
