As he spoke, an oppressive chill emanated from his entire body.

Concubine Jing clenched her hands tightly, trying to suppress the growing fear in her heart.

She is a ghost from another world, a chosen one with her own system. She is not afraid of anyone in this world.

I am only afraid of Xu Jinghuai in front of me.

The book describes Xu Jinghuai as a man who is as sharp as a blade and as cold as ice, and even the heavens have to give him some respect!

"I have no idea what the Second Prince means."

Xu Jinghuai's eyes were like sharp blades and his thin lips parted slightly.

"Okay, then from this moment on, Your Majesty will never have a peaceful day!"

Concubine Jing trembled violently and could hardly stand.

She looked at Xu Jinghuai's back as he left in disbelief.

Her whole body was shaking violently, her face was pale, and beads of sweat were oozing out of her forehead.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, so she fled back to her Jinghua Palace.

Lock yourself in the bedroom.

After the doors and windows are closed.

She sat under the lamp, trembling all over, recalling Xu Jinghuai's words over and over again.

He knew, he actually knew his own identity.

How could Xu Jinghuai know!

She has been keeping a low profile, not caring about worldly affairs, and pretending to be calm and steady for so many years.

The purpose was to force the queen to death step by step secretly, take away her throne, and then take away the emperor's luck when he was weak and unstable due to the queen's death, so that he would die slowly and secretly like the queen.

Finally, she sent her prince Xu Jingye to the throne.

Everything was going very smoothly.

More than ten years ago, she successfully used props to confuse the people around the emperor when he was still a prince. Seeing an opportunity and with the help of props, she became pregnant with a prince as she wished and entered the East Palace as a concubine. Then she lay dormant in the dark, planning step by step, until the queen was finally unable to save the situation and the emperor's luck was unstable.

Great things are about to happen.

But suddenly a miracle doctor appeared, and no trace of him could be found.

He cured the queen.

After the queen recovered, her behavior changed drastically and she began to target her in every way.

That's fine, as long as she's more careful, she can handle it.

After all, even if it was anyone else, with the luck she had accumulated over the years, she could handle it with ease.

But it was Xu Jinghuai!

It’s him!

It just happened to be Xu Jinghuai who could do anything!

His luck was as solid as a mountain, and those so-called props had no effect on him at all!

Even the system suggested that no matter what plan he made, he should avoid Xu Jinghuai!

He is the only Xu Jinghuai in the book who has no solution even for the system!

How could it be him...

How could...

Concubine Jing was deep in thought and began to bite her fingers hard with her teeth. Her brows were heavy and her face was plain, looking frightened and terrifying.

The hall was quiet.

The autumn wind outside the hall suddenly became strong, causing the lights to flicker and the window frames to creak.

Her tense nerves suddenly snapped.

She exclaimed and opened the palace door.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly!!!"

The palace maids hurriedly supported Concubine Jing.

"What's wrong, empress?"

Concubine Jing's voice trembled, her face filled with panic. "Tell the guards to strictly guard Jinghua Palace. You will stay here to guard me, and don't leave my side!"

"promise."

The palace maids agreed, and one of them began to pour tea for Concubine Jing, while another one massaged her shoulders and neck.

Concubine Jing was still trembling all over.

She asked, "Is there anything unusual in the palace?"

The maid paused as she poured tea for Concubine Jing. She looked at her in confusion and replied, "Your Majesty, everything in Jinghua Palace is normal. There is nothing unusual."

Concubine Jing still had a frown on her face and looked very anxious.

"If there's anything unusual, no matter what it is, report it immediately."

"promise."

The palace maid agreed and continued to stay by Concubine Jing's side.

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound outside the window.

Concubine Jing was so scared that she grabbed the palace maid and blocked her in front of her.

Another palace maid opened the window and saw a cat walking outside the window, which must have stepped on dead branches and leaves.

Then he closed the window again.

"My lady, there's a cat passing by."

Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

But I still feel uneasy.

She messed with the wrong people.

Over the years, every wrong thing she had done to the Queen and the Emperor appeared before her eyes one by one.

These are extremely secretive behaviors that ordinary people simply cannot know about.

But now Xu Jinghuai knows.

Inside, destiny, ghosts from another world, every word seemed to be drilling into her heart madly,

Xu Jinghuai said this today.

To her, it was as if there was a sword hanging over her head, ready to take her life at any time.

She grasped the maid's arm tightly with both hands, her sharp nails digging deeply into the flesh, as if to vent the fear hidden deep in her heart.

Blood was gushing out and the palace maid was crying in pain, but she could only endure it with all her might.

Another gust of wind blew outside the window.

The window frames rattled violently.

bang bang bang...

bang bang bang...

bang bang bang...

Concubine Jing looked around in panic and screamed for the palace maids to gather around her.

But the clanging sound became louder and louder.

All the palace maids suddenly fainted in front of Concubine Jing.

She looked at the palace maids who had fainted inexplicably beside her, and mustered up her courage to kick them hard a few times. Seeing that there was still no response, her fear deepened, and she curled up and huddled in the corner of the table.

There was another snap.

Another snap.

A black figure flew in.

Before she could see who was coming, a sharp dagger was pressed against her throat.

Concubine Jing looked at the black shadow in horror.

“Who is it! Who are you!!!”

The black shadow didn't say anything, but just pushed the dagger harder.

Concubine Jing's face was pale and her teeth were chattering.

"Is it the Second Prince?"

The black shadow remained silent and pressed the dagger into Concubine Jing's neck, drawing blood.

It seemed as if the next step would be to kill the enemy with one strike of the sword.

Who else could be so cruel that he didn't even give her a chance to speak?

It must be Xu Jinghuai!

She knew that if she offended Xu Jinghuai, she would be in danger of death. In desperation, she could only struggle bravely.

"Your Highness, are you planning to kill me? I am a noble concubine after all. If I die in this palace, do you know that His Majesty will not investigate and bring disaster upon yourself?"

The black figure sneered.

He released the dagger.

Concubine Jing was sweating profusely and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.

But she saw a black figure quickly cut a hole in her palm and threw three small dolls at her.

The doll was instantly stained with her blood.

When Concubine Jing saw the three little dolls, she found that they were the voodoo dolls that she had used to try to cast spells on the emperor, the empress and Xu Jinghuai from a distance. Her name was written on the cloth sewn on them.

Terrified, she quickly hid them under her body and was about to look at the black figure.

The hall was silent, without a single shadow in sight.

There was another snap.

The doors and windows were wide open, and the autumn wind blew in. The palace maids woke up and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Concubine Jing, feeling guilty, hid the little dolls in her sleeves and was thinking of sending the palace maids away immediately and burning them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of intense footsteps outside the palace gate.
