My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Inside the Great Ming Enlightenment Temple, in the Buddhist hall.

The sound of the wooden fish continued uninterrupted. Zen Master Zhi Chan seemed to have heard nothing, still knocking on it leisurely, as if none of this concerned him.

The abbot frowned upon seeing his indifference and addressed the fake Liu Yexi, "Who are you? Quiet is to be maintained inside the Buddhist hall!"

"Maintain quiet? Haha, you're blind!"

The fake Liu Yexi took a step forward, revealing a token. "I am an envoy from the Imperial Announcements Bureau, Inspector Liu Yexi. You have been plotting rebellion here for many days, and I have thoroughly investigated it!"

"Don't even think about playing innocent!"

Seeing the fake but authentic-looking token, Mu Yuyan's heart sank.

It seemed that the court officials had not been thoroughly purged, and there were still spies. Otherwise, the style of this token would not have leaked out.

The common people had never seen Liu Yexi, but seeing the imposing appearance of the impostor made them inexplicably uneasy, feeling that something significant was about to happen.

The abbot was also taken aback and softened his tone, "So, you are Lord Liu of the Imperial Announcements Bureau. However... Have you made a mistake, my lord? Here, we are only chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, with nothing beyond the norm, let alone plotting rebellion?"

They were innocent!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But this was a trumped-up charge, and the Thousand-Face Woman certainly wouldn't give them a chance to explain.

"Hehe!"

Wearing the beautiful face of the female Emperor, the woman stood up, and the fake Liu Yexi also cooperated by immediately kneeling before her. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Your Majesty!?

The female Emperor herself had come?!

The monks and worshipers were dumbfounded!

Initially skeptical, witnessing this performance, along with the flawless appearance of the imposter, made them believe in most of it!

The abbot was also dumbfounded!

The female Emperor had personally arrived, a scene he had never experienced before. Moreover, he was now wearing the unjust hat of rebellion!

The old abbot became nervous, glancing toward the Western Regions master for help.

However, the Zen Master Zhi Chan remained aloof, still ignoring everything and leisurely fingering the prayer beads!

"Dare to defy and not kneel in front of Her Majesty? Truly, some demonic monks planning rebellion! Guards, seize them!"

The fake Liu Yexi immediately drew her sword, presenting a menacing aura!

At this moment, numerous "Imperial Guards" rushed into the Grand Enlightenment Temple, surrounding the Buddhist hall with drawn swords and crossbows, creating a tense atmosphere!

The monks and worshipers were frightened, their faces turning pale. They were ordinary people who now, against their will, believed that something significant was happening. They just couldn't understand why chanting scriptures was considered rebellion!

"Lord! My lord!"

Knowing what would happen when these soldiers rushed in, the abbot trembled and quickly said in a trembling voice, "We were really just chanting scriptures. The monk have always been loyal to the Great Jing, loyal to Her Majesty. After each prayer, we also pray for Her Majesty, praying for the prosperity and peace of the country!"

Upon hearing these words, the nearby monks nodded vigorously, indicating that the old abbot's words were genuine.

The Thousand-Face Woman's excitement grew further. If even the loyal ones would be indiscriminately killed, would there be anyone loyal to the Great Jing's Emperor in the future?

The Thousand-Face Woman coldly declared, "The charges are established. What are you waiting for? Take action!"

The "Imperial Guards" were about to rush in from the two entrances of the Buddhist hall. The majority inside were female worshipers, and the greedy glints in the eyes of these private soldiers were evident.

At this moment, the abbot turned around and directly knelt down before Zen Master Zhi Chan, his old eyes filled with pleading.

"Gerat master! I know that your cultivation is profound, and you usually ignore worldly matters, but this time, my temple is truly being wronged... For the sake of both being disciples of the Buddha, please save them!"

Zen Master Zhi Chan slightly opened his eyes.

The abbot's face showed a hint of joy, thinking that his sincerity had moved the master, and he was willing to extend a helping hand...

But!

In Zen Master Zhi Chan's eyes, there was only a bone-chilling coldness.

The abbot's body stiffened!

Finally, he slowly fell down... The "Imperial Guards" did nothing, but he was killed by Zen Master Zhi Chan using his spiritual sense!

Chaos erupted in the Buddhist hall!

Mu Yuyan noticed this scene, her eyebrows furrowing, feeling a chill in her heart. But she didn't have time to deal with this demonic monk now; she needed to stabilize the situation first to prevent innocent people from falling victim!

While Mu Yuyan removed the concealing spirit jade.

At this moment!

A cold voice sounded from the corner, accompanied by several ice crystals condensing at the entrance, blocking the advance of the private soldiers.

"Stop, aren't you humans being too reckless with lives?"

Mu Yuyan was stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

It turned out to be Little Dragon Maiden!

Hearing this, all eyes turned toward the elegant and ethereal beauty!

"Who are you?" The Thousand-Face Woman hadn't expected someone to interfere but seeing that it wasn't an official figure from the court, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"While we, the Dragon Clan, are inquiring about the crime, we usually first send them to the cold prison for a slow interrogation... In your human system, you are so strict, but you're indiscriminately killing innocent people?" Ao Hanyi was indignant. She just wanted to pray to Buddha for a quick resolution to find her aunt's whereabouts.

Still, now, with this fake female Emperor causing trouble, she couldn't even stay in the temple.

"You claim to be the Emperor Jiaqing; very well... Draw your sword and give it a try. The Emperor Jiaqing is said to be a generation of the Sword Immortal. If you dare not draw the sword, it will only prove that you are a fake!"

Fake?

The monks and worshipers were once again stunned!

Seeing the fear dissipate from the Thousand-Face Woman's eyes and be replaced with suspicion and hostility, Mu Yuyan's eyes flashed with admiration.

Little Dragon Maiden, who used to be confused when following Luan Xiaoyao, now seemed to be courageous and resourceful.

The female Emperor couldn't help but raise her appreciation for Little Dragon Maiden.

"Damn it! Where did this wild girl come from? What are you standing there for? Hurry up and rush in to kill them!" The Thousand-Face Woman, embarrassed and furious, commanded.

As soon as she made a move, her true colors would undoubtedly be exposed.

With the unexpected appearance of Ao Hanyi, she could no longer continue to stir up trouble in the temple.

The plan to sow discord between the Buddhist followers and the Great Jing court could only be temporarily halted.

"Kill them, then quickly retreat!"

The private soldiers were ultimately numerous, holding back Ao Hanyi, and the Thousand-Face Woman was about to pull her servant girl and escape!

But at this moment, two golden sword lights flew from an unknown source, directly piercing into the legs of the Thousand-Face Woman and the fake Liu Yexi, nailing them to the wall of the Buddhist hall!

The female Emperor took action!

Ao Hanyi's eyes lit up, but when she sensed the sword intent, her expression froze. Why did she have a feeling of déjà vu...

As Mu Yuyan casually condensed the sword energy, her figure floated out at the same time.

Removing the concealing spirit jade, her peerlessly beautiful face shone like a bright moon, casting a dim light over the entire Buddhist hall.

The majestic and noble imperial aura, compared to the Thousand-Face Woman with the same face, was clearly superior!

The worshipers and monks were stunned!

They had just felt that what Ao Hanyi said was true; that was just a fake female Emperor. However, they never expected that the real female Emperor would appear in the Buddhist hall!

The dual aura of the Sword Immortal and the emperor made the worshipers voluntarily bow down!

The private soldiers who were trying to force their way in were equally bewildered!

A real, real female Emperor?!

Damn, how can we continue like this? They might be risking their lives, but they weren't fools. Seeing their employer pinned to the wall by sword qi, what were they waiting for if not to run?

The private soldiers hurriedly rushed out of the temple!

However!

Once outside, they were dumbfounded!

Outside, there was a dense formation of the real Imperial Guards, wearing imposing armor, exuding a chilling aura, holding knives, swords, bows, and crossbows, waiting for them to come out...
