“Your Imperial Highness, spare me! Your Imperial Highness, spare me!”

Her bleeding hand had been mercilessly stomped on by Su Ying.

The Great Immortal White Lotus no longer had the earlier divine aura. She was screaming loudly like a lunatic.

Madam Pang was shocked. This was completely different from the Great Immortal White Lotus she knew!

“Great Immortal, your divine power is not good enough.”

“I… I, I, I was wrong, Your Imperial Highness. Please forgive me. I’ll confess, I’ll confess everything… Boo hoo hoo…” It hurt a lot!

Su Ying raised her foot slightly.

The Great Immortal White Lotus wanted to pull her hand away, but she couldn’t. She looked at Su Ying with a pitiful expression, but she only saw that Su Ying was gazing down at her like she was already a dead person.

The Great Immortal White Lotus trembled and her body tensed up as she said, It’s… it’s the medicine. That talisman paper was written with liquid medicine. After consuming… consuming it, the patient’s body won’t hurt anymore.” “Take the initiative and explain what needs to be explained.”

The Great Immortal White Lotus looked at her hand whose bones had been crushed and said in a choked voice, “Your lowly commoner is a swindler. I’m not some Great Immortal White Lotus. Someone came to me and told me to pretend to be a Great Immortal and to go outside to cheat people and swindle money. I was to swindle anyone who had money. Your Imperial Highness, I… I really didn’t do too many evil things. I just sold them talisman papers and gave sermons on the Taoist Way…”

Madam Pang’s faith collapsed utterly in an instant. She could not believe that the person she wors.h.i.+ped was actually a swindler!

“Are… are you really a swindler?”

The Great Immortal White Lotus finally couldn’t resist giving Madam Pang a vicious glare. If that woman hadn’t been so talkative, she wouldn’t have fallen into this state.

“Yes! I did it to swindle money. All of you have been deceived by me. I don’t have any divine skills at all. I don’t! The talisman paper that I gave you was effective because the liquid medicine it was written with can stop the pain. After the medicine wears off, it will have no effect!”

Madam Pang’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Old Mistress Nie found it disgraceful and instructed the old maidservants to take her away.

“Your Imperial Highness, I… I really didn’t do any grievously evil deeds. I only cheated people of some money. I just wanted to live a good life. I had a hard time when I was young…”

“Madam Pang went to look for you?” Su Ying interrupted her icily.

Great Immortal White Lotus sniffled and nodded. “Yes… yes. She said she wanted me to cure her son.”

“Then what did you say?”

The Great Immortal White Lotus’s eyes darted around, but before she could come up with an answer, Su Ying slapped her so hard that her eyeb.a.l.l.s almost fell out.

“From now on, if you so much as utter a single word that is false, I will immediately cut off your tongue.”

Dark patches flashed intermittently before the Great Immortal White Lotus’s eyes as she staggered up from the ground. She said with a trembling voice, “I… I wouldn’t dare. Your lowly commoner wouldn’t dare. I… I told her to look for a child with certain birth characters. This was to transfer some of that child’s predestined lifespan to her son so that her son could recover.”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly added as if she was afraid that Su Ying would hit her again, “But this… this idea did not come from me. Someone… someone told me to do this.”

Su Ying narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. “What kind of birth characters?” The Great Immortal White Lotus recited a string of birth characters.

Other people might not be familiar with this set of birth characters, but how could Su Ying not remember her own child’s birth characters?

This person wanted her child to give up some of his predestined lifespan to someone else!

“Do you know this set of birth characters belong to who?”

The Great Immortal White Lotus’s face was already swollen. She shook her head in panic, indicating that she did not know anything. “I… I don’t know… I don’t know. This person who came to me back then told me to pretend to be some bulls.h.i.+t Great Immortal, Your Imperial Highness…”

“Who is this person?”

“It’s the abbot of the Trinity Breeze temple. He’s the Reverend Abbot Sanmei.” Other than him, who else contacted you?”

The Great Immortal White Lotus shook her head vigorously, “No, no one else. Really no one else.”

Su Ying turned to Zhou Qing. “Bring that fellow back.” Who cared whether he was a good or bad guy? Su Ying would capture him first and talk later.

As she waited, Su Ying’s feet pressed down lightly on the back of the Great Immortal White Lotus’s hand from time to time. The force she exerted seemed extremely light, but the Great Immortal White Lotus felt that she was not far from dying from the pain.

Su Ying suddenly thought of something and said, “Madam Pang accepted your proposal?”

As soon as she said this, Old Mistress Nie’s expression changed.

After the Great Immortal White Lotus nodded, Old Mistress Nie went straight to Su Ying and knelt down immediately.

Madam Pang was truly audacious. She actually dared to covet transferring the First Prince’s predestined lifespan to her own son. That woman wasn’t even worried that her own son wouldn’t live long enough to enjoy the extended life! Su Ying closed her eyes again and gestured for Old Mistress Nie to stand up. “Old Mistress, please rise. I am a little angry, but I won’t harm the innocent.” After all, General Zhenbei was still guarding the border. He had solid control of the military forces in his hands.

Old Mistress Nie felt even more regretful, but fortunately, Su Ying did not intend to blame the General’s Residence.

“Thank you, Your Imperial Highness. I will definitely teach that stupid woman a good lesson.”

Just as the Great Immortal White Lotus’s whole body was about to go numb from waiting, the Imperial Guards finally returned.

“Your Imperial Highness, we have searched the entire Trinity Breeze Taoist Temple, but we did not find the abbot. Everyone inside has vanished.” When the Great Immortal White Lotus was brought back by the Imperial Guards, the enemy had already been alerted. It did not occur to Su Ying that the Great Immortal White Lotus was not the main character in this matter.

“Go bring a piece of paper to me.”

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”

After the paper was brought over, Su Ying told Zhou Qing to take out a charcoal pencil from her own medicine box. She then asked the Great Immortal White Lotus, “Are you sure that the abbot’s face you saw is his true appearance?” The Great Immortal White Lotus nodded. “It’s his true appearance, honest. I can confirm it.” They had been in close contact many times. If the other party was wearing a mask, she would definitely be able to tell.

“Start from his eyebrows and describe to me in detail what he looks like.”

“Yes, yes. His forehead is a little high, which makes his nose bridge also seem a little high…”

As the Great Immortal White Lotus described, Su Ying began to sketch on the paper with the charcoal pencil. Her battle comrades had told her that sketching was the only hobby that could temper her character.

After the Great Immortal White Lotus finished describing, Su Ying showed her the completed sketch. “Take a look. Is this what he looks like?”

From the Great Immortal White Lotus’s surprised expression, it could be seen that Su Ying’s sketch bore a strong resemblance.

Su Ying stood up after amending some details.

“Take her back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. Tell them to dig out from her all the information related to this abbot.” It was impossible for a person to live in this society without contact with anyone. Since there was human contact, there would be a loophole.

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”

The Imperial Guards stepped forward and hauled the Great Immortal White Lotus away.

When Old Mistress Nie saw Su Ying get up, she immediately stood up as well.

Today, she had finally witnessed the Empress’s formidable power. This kind of decisive manner of bringing down her enemies was definitely something those delicate and n.o.ble ladies in the capital city did not possess.

“I am truly ashamed that such a thing has happened. When my grandson Jun’er wakes up, I will definitely bring him into the palace to kowtow to Your Imperial Highness for saving his life.”

“Old Mistress, no need to be anxious. He is young and will recover quickly. We can talk about it after he recovers. I shall not impose on you any further. I will return to the palace now..”
