Emperor Ci was in his old age, with the majesty of the royal family, the strength of the soldiers, and the arrogance of the talisman master. He was indeed worthy of these three things. In the records of the Holy Talisman Dynasty, including previous dynasties, few emperors could hold the imperial power, military power and talisman power at the same time. He realized it, and made up his mind to keep these three powers in his hands and pass them on to his descendants.

He sat on a wide chair with his body slightly tilted, his right elbow supported his armrest and his palms held his cheek, which made him look more calm.

The others could only stand ten steps away, even the most favored Concubine Li was no exception.

In terms of appearance and talent, Concubine Li was far inferior to the queen. She was favored because she gave all her life, status, love, honor and disgrace to Emperor Ci, and believed him wholeheartedly, relied on him, and even regarded him as God. Every time she served in bed, she could make her tremble with excitement.

She was like a fish float shaking on the river, proving that there were really big fish underwater, proving that power was not illusory, but real.

"The queen has really rebelled, the queen has really rebelled..." Concubine Li kept murmuring to herself.

Ci Huang felt a irritability in his heart. Although Concubine Li was cute, she had one flaw. When a crisis really came, she would only ask for help pitifully and not help at all.

"This was long as I expected." Emperor Ci said coldly, showing a steely calmness.

"Your Majesty is like a god." Concubine Li sat on a very short stool, covering her skirt, as if she was sitting on the ground, tilting her head, looking at the "high-ranking" Emperor Ci with a look of worship and dependence. "Your Majesty will soon pacify the rebellion. Why is the queen so stupid that she betrays Your Majesty? You are the Holy Talisman Dynasty. Without Your Majesty, Xijieguo will never be able to restore the country. What did the queen think? Not only was she not grateful, but she also wanted to rebel? Didn't she understand that without Your Majesty. The queen is just a meaningless false title? Even as a wife, she shouldn't..."

"The rebellion will end before dawn." Emperor Ci said confidently. In front of Concubine Li, he always felt infinite power. This was the state he liked, "The queen was greedy for power. This made her lose her mind."

"Where is she hiding? Your Majesty will definitely capture her alive."

"She escaped from the palace to find her 'secret army'." Emperor Ci sneered, "and then she will meet with Xin Youtao and Pei Shurong."

"But Your Majesty is prepared."

"In addition to Xin Youtao, all the great talisman masters have sworn to be loyal to me. More than half of the great Baidan monks have secretly expressed their intention to stand on the side of the royal family. The five ministers and their followers have been placed under house arrest. The queen will fall into the trap no matter where she goes. She made a big mistake and thought that if the talisman master and the monks are incompatible, she will be able to stumble on the water. I know everything she has done over the years."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Li's eyes showed tears of respect, which was sincere trust. No matter what Emperor Ci said, she would believe it without reservation. It was in this situation that she said something she shouldn't say, "Will the queen set up a suspicion array? In fact, she has been hiding in the palace?"

"Impossible!" Emperor Ci said sternly. The petite Concubine Li was so scared that she fell off the stool. She really sat on the ground, her beauty was as if she was scolded by a god. Emperor Ci was both content and a little regretful, and her tone was slightly relieved. "I understand the Queen, and I can imagine her plan every step of the way."

"I deserve to die. I actually doubt Your Majesty's judgment..." Concubine Li blamed herself with tears in her eyes, but she felt a little jealousy in her heart.

"I know her..." Emperor Ci temporarily forgot about Concubine Li. He focused on his own thoughts, which was one of the reasons why he liked Concubine Li. In front of Queen Xun, anyone should be calm. It is impossible and wrong to ignore her existence.

A eunuch suddenly rushed in. Such rude actions meant that he brought very unexpected news. Emperor Ci couldn't control his body and stood up. The news of Queen Xun's arrest sounded in advance. If he had not had so much confidence, he could see from the eunuch's panic expression that what he brought would never be good news.

"Queen...Queen..." The eunuch was so anxious that he couldn't speak.

Emperor Ci regretted that he was too urgent to get up, so he deliberately kept it cold and did not urge him. Concubine Li stood up with the help of her personal maid and asked expectantly: "The queen was caught? Where? The talisman tower or the Five Elements Camp? Or is it at the home of a minister? Your Majesty is as expected as a god, so he has long since..."

The eunuch kept shook his head, "Queen...Queen..."

The door was pushed open again, and a woman came in. She didn't look like a palace maid, and she looked even less like a woman. She glanced at her with her eyes unrestrainedly, and finally fell on Emperor Ci, saying plainly: "Empress Xun asks to see Emperor Ci."

Emperor Ci vaguely remembered that the woman was a maid next to the queen, but she could no longer remember her name. He was hit by this unexpected news and his whole body was stiff and he didn't react for a long time.

"Who are you? You are lying!" Li Fei said angrily.

Zeng Fu ignored the woman and shrugged, "Emperor Ci doesn't say anything, that's all that's allowed." She turned around and said to the door, "Empress Xun, you can come in."

The eunuch at the door knelt down and stepped back.

Emperor Ci still did not move, and a female talisman master walked out from behind him, which was his last line of defense.

Queen Xun stepped into the house, holding a straw hat in her hand, looking at her husband calmly, and holding the emperor of the Holy Talisman Dynasty with one hand. Concubine Li lowered her head and blushed, as if she had done something very dirty and was caught and appeared.

The female talisman master stood in front of Emperor Ci, bowing to Queen Xun, "Please leave here and wait for His Majesty to summon him."

Queen Xun was already ready for a coup and had not taken action for a long time because one of the most important problems could not be solved: how to come to Emperor Ci and keep him firmly in his hands.

Chaos is an opportunity. After the chaos recedes, some people are in trouble and some are benefiting. She can provoke suspicion between the king and the ministers, leading to a great chaos in the imperial capital. Using the more than a thousand talisman masters and monks who are loyal to her can make the chaos more intense, but as long as the Ci Emperor can issue a normal decree, she cannot get any benefits from this chaos.

There are few masters of talisman sacrifice in the inner courtyard of the palace, and there is one by Queen Xun. Emperor Ci can summon at least one hundred people. Without the help of stronger people, she will not be able to keep him even if she is lucky enough to hold Emperor Ci hostage.

Mu Xingqiu's arrival finally solved this problem.

From the inner study room to Liuyun Palace where Emperor Ci and Concubine Li are located, the distance is no more than a thousand steps, and there are 3,000 soldiers and 500 talisman masters guarding it, which is enough to block a huge army, but cannot stop Mu Xingqiu's illusory arts.

Seeing Empress Xun come, the soldiers and talisman masters automatically put down their weapons and gave way. They seemed to have received the most severe order. Among them, there were many demons who had fallen behind with shame and retreated with a little resistance. Whether it was in person or hearing about it, what Empress Xun had done was still deeply imprinted in everyone's mind. The illusion could arouse the obedience with just a little provocation.

Faced with Mu Xingqiu's first attack, the demon seed did not take action and automatically gave up this small position.

Perhaps because she stood in front of Emperor Ci, the female talisman master had a stronger resistance to illusion. She stared at Queen Xun, and the paper talisman in her hand was trembling slightly.

The room was silent, and the battle was going on silently.

When Mu Xingqiu upgraded the illusion art to the sixth level, the female talisman master retreated, with a look of shame and a cold sweat, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I..."

The demon seed has not yet taken the call.

Emperor Ci waved his hand and ordered the female talisman master to shut up, then directly said to Queen Xun: "No wonder it was tonight. It seems that you have found a big backer."

Emperor Ci looked at Zeng Fu and looked at him a few times, "I remember, you are the woman who enters the palace once a month. She used to be Taoist priest Pangshan."

"I used to live in Pangshan, but I was not a Taoist priest. I didn't even have a Taoist root, and I was not the 'big backer' of Queen Xun." Zeng Fu corrected.

Emperor Ci's eyes turned and looked at the straw hat in Queen Xun's hand. It was a strange thing that was out of place with her. "The others retreated." He ordered.

The palace maid, eunuch, and female talisman master immediately followed the order and retreated. Only Concubine Li did not move and said timidly: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Ci's majesty was still cold, and Concubine Li covered her face and ran out. When she passed by Queen Xun, she looked at her, opened her mouth to say anything, but didn't spit out a word, and ran faster under her feet.

"That person is really not dead." Emperor Ci said that he didn't believe the rumors all over the past few days. Unexpectedly, the one he was most reluctant to accept was true, "Show up, I have no protection."

"Didn't the Demon Seed remind you before?" Queen Xun took two steps forward. She rarely met Emperor Ci, but she had a deeper understanding of each other than others. "Or do you refuse to believe in the Demon Seed's reminder?"

"The demon seed has been destroyed by me, right in Wangshan." Emperor Ci's voice began to show anger. The battle at Wangshan was the greatest moment in his life and the most solid foundation of his power. However, Queen Xun refused to believe in the demise of the demon seed. The only reason was that she did not participate in the war, so she had to try her best to belittle the value of this victory.

The magic spells of the demons are not omnipotent. The emperor of Ci was arrogant and stubborn. The demons could use this, but they could not directly control them like in Duanliu City.

"Sit down, Your Majesty, I am not here to kill you, nor to seize power. You and I are both humble lives in this world, and power is more important than life in our minds. In the eyes of others, it is just a ridiculous toy, and it is not much different from the wooden sticks held by a child. Sit down, your destiny and my destiny are not in your own hands."

The most important reason why Emperor Ci's knees were slowly bent. The only thing that he didn't want to see Queen Xun was that she still had a strong influence on him.

Ci Huang fought against this effect with full of anger, resentment and suspicion. Before his butt touched the chair, he stood up again, spread his arms, and a strange black light flashed in his palm, "My queen, you are not omniscient, Mu Xingqiu is the same. I have power that you can't imagine!"

The black light suddenly became strong, and Mu Xingqiu finally noticed the magic spell, but the source of the spell was not the Ci Emperor, but somewhere above his head.

The masters who have been trained in the magic seed have arrived?
