"What can I do?" Queen Xun asked. She had been enduring for a long time. She knew that the enemy was hiding nearby, but could not launch a counterattack. She also pretended to be discouraged and lost her fighting spirit, which made her very painful.

She looks like a veteran who has left her armor and returned to the field. She seems to be in decline and never talks about past events with her children and grandchildren who have never fought, but she often dreams of returning to the camp in the quiet night, and her ears hear the horns and blood flows up.

She longs to return to the battlefield, not only the battlefield of iron armor and swords, but also a broader battle for the world.

"How did you deal with the demon seed yourself?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"I leave the court without asking about political affairs. The demon seeds should not know that I was trying to instigate the talisman masters and monks to compete for me, so they have never attacked me, so I don't need to deal with it."

Mu Xingqiu did not ask any more, but he knew that the truth could not be like this. The mortal's plan could not be hidden from the demon seed. Queen Xun must have received secret help, but she herself did not know it.

"To put it short, more than half of the talisman masters and monks in Huangjing have become demons. Niwan Palace is controlled and has become a force and position on the demon species. If I want to win this battle, I must establish a force that can compete with the demons. For this reason, I need to arouse everyone's emotions. Any emotion is OK. It must be spontaneous and cannot be provoked by magic. The more people there are, the greater my chance of winning."

Queen Xun couldn't understand the details of the spell and did not ask questions. She just needed to know what she should do. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then she can only launch a coup."

Mu Xingqiu had to admit that he was surprised. He had always been confident in Queen Xun, but she often unexpectedly, "Time is very tight."

A coup is of course one of the best ways to arouse emotions in mortals, and it has a wide impact, but it is not small. There has never been a coup as unprepared as it is today.

"You have your spells, I have mine." Queen Shuang was barefoot, still holding the brim in her hand, "Will I keep it with me?"

Mu Xingqiu checked with illusion, "If you can maintain your current fighting spirit, the straw hat will be useless."

In the past, Mu Xingqiu could only vaguely grasp the emotions of mortals, like driving away the flock of sheep in the dark and practicing the ninth level of illusion. He could temporarily place his soul in those high and clear emotions.

Queen Xun laughed. This was a long-depressed fighting spirit and could last for a long time. But she still walked out with her straw hat, her steps firmly without a trace of hesitation, as if an entire army was following her.

This is the battle she has been looking forward to side by side.

Zeng Fu sat up from the small bed outside, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Queen Xun blankly, "Why are you getting up? When is it now? Get up at night. Do you still have to drink water? Why don't you wear shoes..."

"Come with me, Zeng Fu." Queen Xun's voice was not harsh, but it had a clear commanding meaning.

Zeng Fu immediately jumped out of bed, put on his shoes, and then went to get the shoes for Queen Xun. She was so quick because she saw the straw hat in Queen Xun's hand.

Zeng Fu came back soon, not only his shoes, but also a talisman sword. It was originally pressed on the bottom of the box, but few people remembered it except Zeng Fu.

Under Zeng Fu's service, Queen Xun put on her shoes, held the scabbard in her hand, walked out of the room, and stood at the door.

She does not live with Emperor Ci, and she lives alone in a remote courtyard. The official name of this courtyard is "Xiaoyue Palace", but the more well-known name is "Cold Palace".

"Call everyone up," said Queen Xun.

Zeng Fu moved very quickly, but in fact, there was no need for her to call. The palace maids in other rooms put on their clothes when they heard the sound outside, and waited for a call.

There were fourteen palace maids in total, and ten eunuchs from all over the outer courtyard, all standing in front of Queen Xun. The second update was over and the third update was not here, and it was late at night. These people did not show any particularly surprise. They were all Queen Xun's confidants, and they were "prepared" as early as she was, but they didn't know what to do.

Queen Xun began to arrange matters. Five palace maids and five eunuchs each came together, each carrying the queen's handwriting and token, and went out of the palace to meet the three ministers, a general and a great talisman master as quickly as possible. There was nothing to say, just deliver the token.

Most of the remaining people stayed in the Xiyue Palace, and Queen Xun only took Zeng Fu and one of the most trusted eunuchs to leave and walked all the way through the palace.

Queen Xun whispered to herself, but the eunuch didn't understand why and didn't ask questions. Zeng Fu knew that she was talking to Mu Xingqiu, and Queen Xun was still not used to talking in her mind.

"Will those ministers and generals obey your orders?" Only Queen Xun could hear Mu Xingqiu's voice. He was very surprised. Queen Xun had already prepared a coup, and even the foreign aid had been arranged, as if she had been waiting for his arrival.

"My hand order is not that powerful, and these ten people can't even get out of the palace." Empress Xun chuckled softly, "The five ministers I asked them to meet have many gangs in the court, and they have been afraid of Emperor Ci. My people will be arrested soon. If I know Emperor Ci, he will immediately order these five important officials to be imprisoned. Within an hour, the court will be in chaos. Next is my brother and Pei Shuai. Although the two are not in harmony and have not had much contact with me, Emperor Ci will still suspect that they are my backing and may not dare to arrest them, but will order martial law throughout the city and the entire imperial capital will be in chaos."

This is the plan that Queen Xun formulated in less than two quarters of an hour. This is only part of it. If there is no practical preparation at all, she will not rashly propose to launch a coup.

"Every step behind is very important. Emperor Ci will send someone to arrest me soon. I have to hide for a while. After he issues all the decrees, I will take action."

"With me here, you won't be taken away." Mu Xingqiu said.

Queen Xun smiled and said nothing. Mu Xingqiu was her biggest reliance and could not be used too early.

Not long after walking, a team of night patrol guards blocked the way.

Mu Xingqiu's soul could only use pure illusion techniques, which were more than enough to deal with talisman soldiers, but without him taking action, the eunuch who had been silently following behind solved the problem.

The eunuch was about forty years old and was not very handsome. He kept his head down since he appeared and never raised it. He never said anything else except "yes". Such a man was a master of talisman sacrifice, and he knocked all ten guards out in just one move.

The palace guards were tight outside and loose inside. There were only ordinary guards in the inner courtyard where Emperor Ci and his concubines lived, and they were not opponents of the talisman master.

"His name is Wei Geng. Geng Yun's talisman master was once a five-level crown talisman master. He joined me thirteen years ago." Queen Xun whispered while moving forward, a talisman master with a great future willing to enter the palace to be a slave. That must be a tortuous story. Queen Xun did not explain it in detail, and Mu Xingqiu would never search for her memories.

"After this road, it is Emperor Ci's bedroom, but he will not live here tonight. The guards will prove that I have come to him. Emperor Ci knows that he will be more suspicious and more likely to make wrong decisions in the future."

Queen Xun turned into another path. From then on, Wei Geng began to sacrifice talismans in advance to ensure that the group was not noticed by other guards and erased all possible traces.

Queen Xun’s temporary hiding place is the inner study of Emperor Ci. Here she said to Wei Geng: “The time has come, and the life and death of the Holy Talisman Dynasty may depend on this battle tonight. It’s just that it’s useless to make the chaos in the imperial capital. I need direct support, go find your people, and tell them my words, ‘I remember your promise, before dawn, I will see you fulfill your promise.’”

"Yes." Wei Geng still replied only with this word, and exited the study room respectfully and disappeared soon.

"There are about a thousand people in a group of talisman masters and monks. They also noticed the existence of the demon species and were regarded as crazy by their peers. I gathered them together and tried not to contact others. They were willing to fight for me."

Queen Xun was used to making more preparations. As early as the beginning, she had expected that the battle for merit that she had initiated would probably develop to an uncontrollable level. The demon seed would press forward step by step. She had to have a force that was completely loyal to her in case of emergencies, but even she herself could not have imagined that this would take more than ten years.

Mu Xingqiu became increasingly convinced that someone was secretly protecting Queen Xun. Otherwise, she would not have been able to do these things over the years. But the protector was definitely not Wei Geng. He was a very powerful talisman master, but he had no ability to compete with the demon seeds.

Zeng Fu couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "There are only three of us left, and then what? Will Emperor Ci or others come to the study?"

"The Emperor Ci thought I had escaped from the palace and no one would come here before dawn." Queen Xun said affirmatively, and after a while she added: "Something happened in the inner study room. Emperor Ci hadn't come in for at least five years."

This is another past of grudges and love. Queen Xun told her unintentionally. Zeng Fu was embarrassed to ask, and Mu Xingqiu was even more careful not to touch any of Queen Xun's memories.

Her fighting spirit has been rising slowly, like the only tall tree in the wilderness, providing temporary resting branches for passing birds.

The palace is very big and has many rules. No one dares to run around, so there is silence outside. Zeng Fu was silent for a while and couldn't help asking again: "What's going on outside? Did Emperor Ci take action?"

Zeng Fu's emotions were also slowly rising, more complicated than Queen Xun, with fighting spirit, excitement, and a little panic, but it was enough to accept Mu Xingqiu's illusion. He also said to the minds of the two: "I can feel the tension in the palace. A large number of guards outside are heading towards the inner palace, and there are many demonic enchantments, and they are concentrated on..."

"Yunliu Palace." Queen Xun had no magic, but could accurately guess the progress outside. "That was the residence of Concubine Li and the safest place that Emperor Ci felt."

Mu Xingqiu found Emperor Ci among many emotions. His anger and fear were simply a towering tree. He would not have grown to such a tall height in a short time. As a demon-bearer, these emotions have existed for a long time.

The demon seeds searched for Mu Xingqiu's whereabouts everywhere in the palace. They did not come themselves, but cast spells through the demon-bearers in the palace. Mu Xingqiu also casts illusion, hiding Queen Xun and Zeng Fu firmly.

The battle was about to break out, Queen Xun was waiting for the response outside the palace, and Mu Xingqiu was waiting for the ordinary people to have a higher mood. He is still at a disadvantage now.

There is also the secret protector of Queen Xun. Mu Xingqiu hopes to find this person. He has a premonition that he is not unfamiliar with this person or these people.
