Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 580

Such a shocking scene occurred during what should have been a sacred and solemn sacrificial ceremony to Heaven; the impact of this was simply too great.

In broad daylight, this horrifying, rotting monster, dressed in a beautiful human skin and wearing the magnificent robes of the Empress of Western Qi, stood before the altar with the Emperor.

Now, the skin has accidentally fallen off, revealing an incredibly hideous and terrifying true face underneath.

Isn't that just a complete and utter mask?

How could this not send chills down one's spine and terrify one's heart!

Huo Tingsheng also retreated in fear.

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

The surrounding Imperial Guards immediately swarmed forward, some protecting Huo Tingsheng in the middle, while others quickly surrounded Jiang Yunwan and thrust their guns at her!

Jiang Yunwan finally realized what was happening, immediately knelt down, and screamed shrilly.

"Your Majesty! I am not a ghost! Nor am I a monster! I am still your Yun Wan!"

The Imperial Guards paused for a moment, and at that moment, the Fourth Prince rushed forward, bravely squeezing into the encirclement and spreading his arms to block Jiang Yunwan.

"Stop! All of you, stop! The Empress Dowager isn't a monster; she's just injured!"

Fearing that Huo Tingsheng might order Jiang Yunwan's execution without distinguishing right from wrong, he quickly blurted out everything.

"The Empress Dowager suffered a minor injury to her face a while ago, but we don't know who did it. The wound has been unable to heal and has continued to fester, resulting in her current state. This hood is not human skin; it was made for her by a master of disguise at my request, simply to allow her to maintain a normal appearance. Father, please investigate! How could the Empress Dowager possibly be a monster!"

The fourth prince had explained it quite clearly, but it wasn't very convincing.

The key issue is that Jiang Yunwan's current appearance is truly terrifying; just looking at her sends chills down your spine, and the only word to describe her is "monster."

The scene of her disguise falling off caused such shock and disbelief that it was just a normal injury and disguise.

Someone below shouted, "The real Empress may have already been eaten by the monster! The Fourth Prince has also been bewitched by the monster, so he's speaking up for her here!"

"This Fourth Prince might not actually be the Fourth Prince! He might just be a demon disguised as him!"

"Yeah! He might just be a human being in disguise!"

"These two monsters are here to ruin the fortune of Western Qi at the Heaven-worshiping ceremony!"

The fourth prince almost vomited blood.

Are these people blind?! They even suspected him too!

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, clamoring for the demons to be vanquished as soon as possible.

Unable to withstand this devastating blow, Jiang Yunwan felt dizzy and her vision went black. She finally fainted and collapsed to the ground.

Huo Tingsheng stared at the chaotic scene before him, his face extremely grim, veins throbbing on his temples.

As the emperor, he naturally possessed more courage than others. Suppressing the nausea in his stomach, he glanced at Jiang Yunwan's repulsive appearance a few more times and realized that she was not some kind of painted-skin monster; her entire head was indeed rotten.

But does it even matter if it's a real monster or not?

With her current grotesque appearance, causing such a huge mess at the most important sacrificial ceremony, she's practically a monster if not a demon!
