Half an hour later, Empress Dowager Qi saw Ji Wuyuan standing at the door of the side hall as she wished.

Ji Wuyuan was a mysophobe, so he just stood at the door and looked at her coldly, with no intention of going in.

Empress Dowager Qi slowly sat up and smiled at Ji Wuyuan. Her eyes seemed to be filled with poison and indescribable hatred.

She smiled and spoke word by word, "Ji Wuyuan, do you know that among all the princes, you are most like your father?"

"They look alike, and their paranoid and violent personalities are similar."

"The same infatuation, and the same indifference."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and giggled, her smile was weird and vicious: "Even the girl I like is the same, hahaha..."

Ji Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, then his veins popped out and his face turned pale. He hated it most when people said he looked like the late emperor.

He is not that cold-hearted, decadent and depressed loser.

Ji Wuyuan clenched his fists, his voice filled with forbearance, indifference, and indifference: "What do you want to say?"

"Also, what did you mean by that sentence just now?"

He didn't understand what Empress Dowager Qi meant by her last crazy words. What did she mean by all the women she liked were the same?

Empress Dowager Qi just continued to smile, her smile was fearless and unrestrained.

The air around me suddenly seemed to freeze, and even breathing became a bit difficult...

Ji Wuyuan narrowed his eyes, suppressing his anger. A warning appeared in his cold tone: "Do you want me to drag out all the dead people from your Qi family and whip their corpses, or grind their bones and scatter their ashes?"

Empress Dowager Qi stopped laughing instantly. Her eyes were wide open with cruelty and hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ji Wuyuan!"

"I originally wanted to tell you something, but now I don't want to say it anymore."

As she spoke, a malicious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I want you to discover it yourself, it will be more interesting this way..."

"We have a bond as mother and son. I feel it's no loss for you to personally send me off."

After saying this, Empress Dowager Qi picked up the poisoned wine on the tray and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ji Wuyuan, I curse you, I curse you to be like him..."

"Hahaha……"

Soon, her body fell on the dirty couch.

Ji Wuyuan felt as nauseous as if he had eaten a dead fly. With a gloomy face, he strode out of the Cining Palace, not wanting to stay any longer.

Empress Dowager Qi stared blankly at the peony curtain above her head, her eyes a little dazed, as if she was recalling something.

She smiled until tears streamed down her face: "In my life, for the sake of my family and power, I have done all kinds of bad things. My hands are stained with blood. Life is too painful and tiring..."

"If there is a next life, I only hope to be born into an ordinary family, find a good husband, raise children, and live a peaceful and stable life..."

As soon as she finished speaking, blood began to flow out of Empress Dowager Qi's mouth. She slowly closed her eyes, leaving only two lines of tears.

Empress Dowager Qi was guilty and deposed, so she was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. The palace servants simply rolled up her body on a straw mat and threw it into a mass grave.

On the other side, the funeral of Concubine Yu was still going on. Jiang Wantang specially invited the national master Jikong from Foguang Temple to chant sutras for Concubine Yu and pray for her, hoping that she could be reborn in paradise as soon as possible.

In the next life, I hope I will be born into a wealthy and prosperous family, have a happy family, and live a peaceful and smooth life.

On the day of the burial, Jiang Wantang dressed in mourning clothes and personally carried the coffin to the imperial mausoleum.

In order to fulfill Concubine Yu's last wish to be buried together with Empress Dowager Wende, Jiang Wantang sneaked into the imperial mausoleum in the middle of the night.

But when she secretly opened the coffin of Empress Dowager Wende, she found it was empty...

He stared at the empty coffin in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his heart.

"This... How is this possible?" Jiang Wantang murmured softly, his voice echoing in the silent imperial mausoleum with a trembling ending.

With doubts, Jiang Wantang secretly checked the Royal Jade Butterfly again the next day after returning from the imperial mausoleum. When she looked at it before, there was no trace of Empress Dowager Wende in the volume of the previous emperor.

This time she found it in the volume of the late Emperor Ji Huaijin. Next to Ji Huaijin's name was not Empress Dowager Qi, but Nangong...

But Empress Dowager Qi did not enter the Royal Jade Butterfly.

This is probably something that the Qi family never expected.

This late emperor was really too crazy.

After returning to Changle Palace, Jiang Wantang sat alone in the hall and pondered for a long time.

She thought about it and came up with two possibilities: either Empress Dowager Wende had faked her death and escaped from the palace.

Or maybe it was the late Emperor Ji Huaijin who had buried her in the Empress's mausoleum from the very beginning, waiting to be buried together with the Empress after his own death...

As he was thinking, Jiang Wantang suddenly felt dizzy.

She thought it was because she had been working without rest for a while, so she stood up and called Xiuzhu and the palace maids, but no one responded.

After a while, she fell to the ground.

Jiang Wantang felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Before she closed her eyes, she heard footsteps. The footsteps were very light, as if someone was quietly walking towards her...

She curled her lips, a cold smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

It seems that during the time when she was away from the harem, someone had already set a trap for her.

And the people in her Changle Palace were probably bribed a long time ago.

It would be a good plan to take action as soon as she returns to the palace.

Soon, Jiang Wantang closed his eyes and completely lost consciousness.

At that time, Xie Zhiyan happened to pass by the Imperial Garden and was about to go to Xuanzheng Hall to discuss important matters with Ji Wuyuan.

A young palace maid who claimed to be from Changle Palace hurried to Xie Zhiyan and said that the imperial concubine had fainted. She knelt on the ground and begged Xie Zhiyan to save her.

Xie Zhiyan looked at the little palace maid kneeling on the ground, a cold smile on his lips: "Your madam has fainted, and you should have gone to look for His Majesty. You came to me specifically, aren't you too purposeful?"

"You dare to show off such a crude trick in front of me..." Xie Zhiyan's voice became colder and colder, "Are you looking for death?"

The little palace maid knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

At this time, Lady Wang, who had been hiding under a big tree, came out and looked at Xie Zhiyan with a look of admiration and hatred in her eyes.

She walked up to Xie Zhiyan, smiled and said, "Master Xie, long time no see..."
