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

Chapter 585

The moonlight was very bright at this time, and Huo Sizhen could clearly see the appearance of the "person". He was a grown man and was so frightened that he screamed and scrambled back!

"Ghost!——"

The thing was completely unlike a human; its entire head was a festering, bloody mass of flesh, hairless, and its facial features were indistinguishable.

On this gloomy, cold palace night, such a monster suddenly appeared. What else could it be but a ghost!

At this moment, the monster let out a mournful cry, opened its arms, and pounced on Huo Sizhen.

"Zhen'er!"

Huo Sizhen was so frightened that he wet himself, thinking that the vengeful ghost was going to grab him, and he kept backing away.

But after spending so much time in the cold palace, he was completely exhausted and emaciated, with no strength left. His legs gave way and he fell to the ground, still managed to be pounced on by the monster.

The monster cried its heart out, tears streaming down its face.

"Zhen'er! I am your mother!"

Huo Sizhen couldn't believe it. He desperately pushed the monster in front of him away and kicked it.

"Get out of my way! I am the Crown Prince of Western Qi! No vengeful ghosts or spirits can harm me!"

The monster clung to him tightly, refusing to let go, and cried incessantly. Huo Sizhen was on the verge of collapse, unable to break free, and finally realized that the creature wasn't a vengeful ghost, but a living, breathing person.

Moreover, the voice does indeed sound like Jiang Yunwan, and the figure is exactly the same.

Huo Sizhen gradually calmed down, but he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"You...you are really the Empress Dowager?"

Jiang Yunwan cried until her voice was hoarse: "It really is me! Zhen'er, how could you not recognize your own mother!"

Huo Sizhen was both shocked and horrified, thinking to himself that no one would recognize him now that he had become like this!

"Mother, what happened to you? You've been... banished to the Cold Palace too?"

After the initial shock subsided, when Huo Sizhen came to his senses, he was struck again as if by a thunderbolt!

Jiang Yunwan's current state means that she can no longer be the Empress!

His last hope was completely shattered!

Jiang Yunwan was filled with pain and despair and was about to tell Huo Sizhen when she suddenly heard a noise behind her. Both of them turned around and saw "Huo Jinghuai" standing in the courtyard under the cold moonlight.

Jiang Yunwan and Huo Sizhen were both stunned for a moment.

How did Huo Jinghuai end up here?

Jiang Yunwan suddenly remembered that the Fourth Prince had told her before that "Huo Jinghuai" had already surrendered to him. The recipe for the peach and plum blossoms in full bloom was given by "Huo Jinghuai". The disguise expert who made her headgear was also introduced by "Huo Jinghuai".

The disguise hood suddenly ripped open during the sacrificial ceremony, revealing her true face and ruining everything she had...

What if this wasn't a coincidence, but rather a design?

Her face might not have been tampered with by others, but rather it was because she used the Peach and Plum Blossom Dew that prevented even the smallest wound from healing, eventually leading to this terrible state!

Jiang Yunwan felt a chill run down her spine when she looked at "Huo Jinghuai"!

"You...it's you! You designed all of this!"

Huo Jinghuai did not deny it, but laughed and took off the leather mask from his face.

"Jiang Yunwan, Huo Sizhen, do you recognize me?"

Huo Sizhen was the first to open his eyes wide in shock.

"Mo Chonggui! What are you doing here! You actually impersonated Huo Jinghuai?"

Huo Sizhen's first reaction was that Mo Zhonggui, as the supervisor of the Northern Yi Eastern Depot, had personally come to Western Qi and impersonated a prince of Western Qi. He probably wanted to infiltrate the Western Qi royal family and destroy the Western Qi regime with such underhanded tactics!

Jiang Yunwan didn't recognize who the head of the Northern Yi Eastern Depot was, but she stared blankly at Mo Zhonggui's face, her eyes revealing an increasingly intense sense of horror!

Twenty years ago, Huo Sizhen was only ten years old, and his childhood memories were not so clear, but Jiang Yunwan, as an adult, remembered everything from back then very clearly!

The face of the man before me was so familiar...

Hoshu!

Huo Xiu was only nine years old at the time!

By the age of nine, many of a boy's physical features have already been established and can be clearly seen.

Those eyebrows, those face shape... if Huo Xiu grew up, he would look just like this!

Jiang Yunwan felt a bone-chilling cold rise from the soles of her feet, spreading throughout her body and reaching the top of her head.

The hairs on the back of her head stood on end, and her voice was hoarse, dry, and trembling uncontrollably.

"You...you are Huo Xiu?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sizhen looked at Jiang Yunwan in shock.

Mo Zhonggui smiled with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems you remember what happened back then quite well, otherwise you wouldn't recognize me."

Jiang Yunwan's eyes widened in utter terror.

"You...you're not dead?"

Mo Zhonggui said, "To be precise, I have died many times, but I have crawled back from hell. You are all still alive in this world, how can I die in peace?"

He glanced around with a sigh.

"So many years have passed, but Beiying Palace hasn't changed much. It's very good, and it suits you very well."

Back then, his mother, Xie Qingmo, a radiant and proud woman, was trapped here, suffering endless humiliation and torment at the hands of Jiang Yunwan and Huo Sizhen, and died a miserable death.

She shouldn't have died like this.

Even if one dies, it should be on the battlefield, a glorious death in battle, not a humiliating and miserable death caused by a plot orchestrated by one's spouse, resulting in ruined reputation, loss of popular support, and the most deplorable and wretched end.

Twenty years ago, there was a mother and son in this cold palace; twenty years later, there is still a mother and son.

very perfect.

He didn't believe that there was any good or bad karma in the world, and he was determined to create this cycle of retribution by human power and by any means necessary!

He will return everything that Jiang Yunwan and Huo Sizhen did to Xie Qingmo and him back then, in full!
