The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

As the words fell, Concubine Yu's raised hand slowly dropped.

At this moment, the light in her eyes was completely extinguished...

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. In this quiet night, Concubine Yu slowly closed her eyes, ending her bumpy life.

Jiang Wantang lay beside Concubine Yu's couch, tightly holding her gradually cooling hand, and burst into tears...

The entire Cining Palace was shrouded in endless sorrow and sadness.

The palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and wept silently...

In the second half of the night, Ji Wuyuan came to the Cining Palace after handling government affairs. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he saw Jiang Wantang lying on the couch crying. He frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

When the palace maids saw him and were about to salute him, Ji Wuyuan raised his hand to signal them to be silent.

He stood silently in the courtyard for a while, then walked out. Before leaving, he instructed the palace servants not to mention his presence.

In this way, Jiang Wantang stayed by Concubine Yu's bedside for a whole night, repeating in his mind all the past grievances and entanglements that she had talked about.

When the first rays of sunlight rose in the early morning, she walked out of Concubine Yu's bedroom with a calm expression.

At this moment, from the side hall, the Queen Mother Qi's crazy and triumphant laughter could be heard...

"Hahahahaha..."

"It's better to die, it's better to die..."

"They are all dead...hahahaha...I am the only one who survived to the end..."

“Hahaha… I win… I win…”

As she laughed, Empress Dowager Qi's wrinkled and weathered face gradually became strangely distorted, "Nangong Yihua, Yu Wanyue... You all died and gained nothing. I am the winner!"

"I, Qi Yilan, will always be a winner in this life!"

"Hahahahaha..."

"I am the Queen Mother of Dasheng, the most noble woman in the world!"

After she finished speaking, her smile deepened little by little, and the tears in her eyes began to fall little by little.

Empress Dowager Qi cried and laughed like a madman.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wantang curled the corners of her lips slightly, a cold smile appeared on her face, and she walked towards the side hall.

As soon as he took a step inside, a strong stench hit him in the face. Jiang Wantang stopped and did not move any closer.

Until this moment, she had to admit that a woman like Empress Dowager Qi was really tolerant.

Jiang Wantang sneered at her, his words cruel and measured, "You are no longer that. You will soon have to go down and atone for their sins..."

"You probably don't know yet, but the Qi family has been convicted of treason. His Majesty has issued an order to exterminate all nine members of the Qi family. At noon today, over a hundred members of the Qi family will be beheaded in public at the Meridian Gate."

"And you... have been deposed as Queen Mother. Soon, palace maids will arrive with white silk and poisoned wine to send you off."

The expression on Empress Dowager Qi's face froze instantly, and she looked at Jiang Wantang in disbelief.

Jiang Wantang's smile deepened, his eyes frosting: "Your Qi family will be reunited underground..."

"The souls of those killed by your Qi family are waiting for you in the underground."

"No, this is impossible... Impossible..." Empress Dowager Qi panicked instantly, and she crawled back several steps in fear after hearing such great news.

Then, she seemed to go crazy, her scarlet eyes staring at Jiang Wantang like a poisonous snake, then she climbed off the bed and pounced on her.

Unfortunately, the four heavy iron chains on the couch trapped her, and she could only struggle with all her might.

A pair of sunken eyes glared terrifyingly, and he said sternly: "You are lying to me, right?"

"You deliberately lied to me because of that bitch Yu Wanyue, right?"

Jiang Wantang looked at her with a sneer, then turned and left in her expectant gaze.

Behind him came the furious curses and roars of Empress Dowager Qi...

"I want to see Ji Wuyuan! I want to see Ji Wuyuan..."

Jiang Wantang simply coldly ordered the palace guards outside to shut her mouth.

Two months later, Jiang Wantang returned to her Changle Palace again. Everything seemed to have changed, yet everything seemed the same.

Xiuzhu looked at Jiang Wantang, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and hugged her excitedly, crying with joy: "Miss, you are finally back. Xiuzhu thought...

Xiuzhu's voice was tearful, and he wrapped his arms tightly around Jiang Wantang, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

But Jiang Wantang couldn't smile. Although her face was calm, her eyes were filled with sadness and fatigue. She gently patted Xiuzhu's back as a response.

She took off the hairpins and changed into a plain white dress, then began to personally take care of Concubine Yu's funeral.

Concubine Yu had no children or relatives.

Jiang Wantang said that he would take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life, but now all he can do for her is see her to the end of her life.

The funeral was led by Jiang Wantang, and people from the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites worked together to organize it according to the ritual specifications of a dowager's funeral.

Before the burial, Jiang Wantang personally changed Concubine Yu into a gorgeous red brocade dress. This was against etiquette, but with Jiang Wantang around, no one dared to say anything.

Jiang Wantang always remembered Concubine Yu saying that she had never worn red in her life. She had dreamed of wearing it countless times, but she never knew what she would look like in it...

So, she put it on for Concubine Yu this time, which also made up for her regret.

Jiang Wantang dressed her up beautifully, and she was adorned with a lot of exquisite and luxurious accessories.

She looked at Concubine Yu with a smile, her eyes gleaming with tiny sparkles, and whispered, "Very beautiful..."

As Jiang Wantang said, the entire Qi family was executed.

During this period, Qin's mother and daughter were clamoring to see Jiang Wantang at the palace gate, but were stopped by palace servants.

That night, the chief eunuch Wang Fuhai came to the Cining Palace with the imperial edict and several palace maids.

Empress Dowager Qi stared blankly at the red tray placed in front of her, on which were neatly placed a dagger, three feet of white silk and a pot of poisoned wine.

Wang Fuhai looked at the filthy, disheveled Empress Dowager Qi with disdain on his face and said in a shrill voice, "Empress Dowager, it's almost time. Let's get going."

Empress Dowager Qi, who had been screaming like crazy all day, had now calmed down: "Humph, if you want me to go, you can..."

"But before I die, I want to see Ji Wuyuan."

Wang Fuhai sneered, "Empress Dowager, do you still think this is the past?"

"You are now nothing but a dying criminal. I, your servant, am giving you the last bit of dignity by calling you Empress Dowager. If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for being rude..."

A trace of anger flashed in Empress Dowager Qi's eyes. She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Go and inform Ji Wuyuan. Tell him that I have a secret about the late emperor to tell him."

"If he doesn't come, he will definitely regret it."
