The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

Upon hearing this, the Empress of Annihilation's previously calm face was instantly clouded with gloom. She then slowly stood up, her face full of anxiety.

"In the past two weeks, many people have gone missing from my palace, including maids and eunuchs. They have disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead."

At this moment, the Hundred Dynasties suddenly attacked, and the entire palace was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear and unease. Everyone was in danger and people were filled with anxiety.

While deeply worried about the safety of the Crown Prince who was defending the frontier against foreign enemies, Empress Mieji also had to force herself to handle the complicated affairs of the palace.

At this critical and chaotic juncture, people continued to disappear, which made the already exhausted Empress extremely worried.

"Your Majesty, shall we report this to His Majesty?"

The head maid beside Empress Mieji cautiously reminded her, her voice tinged with trepidation.

"How could I not want to see His Majesty?"

But ever since the Crown Princess's incident, and the chaos that ensued, His Majesty has blamed me for it. He's now completely ignoring me and hasn't visited my palace for half a month.

The Queen of Annihilation looked sorrowful and sighed deeply, her tone filled with helplessness and grievance.

The thought of Consort Wang filled Empress Mieji with rage.

In truth, everything stemmed from the Third Prince, yet Consort Wang completely absolved herself of responsibility, spending her days whispering sweet nothings in the Emperor's ear and showering him with flattery.

Whenever the Queen of Annihilation thought of these things, she would be filled with rage, and her hands would unconsciously clench into fists.

"Your Majesty, several people have gone missing from our palace, and it is very likely related to Consort Wang."

One of the missing palace maids and servants was a roommate of the other; it's said that before she disappeared, she was summoned by the Imperial Noble Consort and others.

The head palace maid leaned closer to the Empress and spoke in a low voice, her eyes revealing a hint of fear and certainty.

"No matter what, I must see His Majesty today."

Upon hearing this, Empress Mieji became even more restless, her unease and anger reaching their peak.

She made a quick decision and immediately took several palace maids and hurried to Consort Wang's Yifeng Palace.

As soon as Empress Mieji and her entourage arrived at the entrance of Yifeng Palace, they were stopped by several burly eunuchs.

"Your Majesty, please wait."

The Emperor is currently in the Imperial Concubine's palace and has said that no one is allowed to disturb him.

The one who stopped the Empress was a trusted confidant of Consort Wang, his expression respectful yet unquestionable.

The Empress's expression changed slightly, and a surge of anger and humiliation welled up in her heart. However, since the Emperor was in the palace at that moment, she could not lash out.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her hands trembling slightly, and in the end, she could only retreat helplessly and dejectedly.

“This is outrageous! That Consort Wang, relying on His Majesty’s favor, has offended me time and time again. Today, I must see His Majesty no matter what.”

Empress Mieji was unwilling to be blocked outside like this. She cursed under her breath while racking her brains for a way to get in.

"Your Majesty, isn't that Little Deng from our palace?"

The head palace maid, with her sharp eyes, spotted Xiao Dengzi and a somewhat unfamiliar eunuch walking side by side not far away.

The head palace maid hurried forward and blocked Xiao Dengzi's path. After a brief conversation, she quickly returned and whispered something in Empress Mieji's ear.

Upon hearing this, Queen Mieji's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, a glint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She immediately said,

"Without further ado, let's disguise ourselves as two eunuchs and sneak into Yifeng Palace."

It turned out that the two eunuchs had been summoned to pay their respects to Consort Wang, which was a rare and excellent opportunity.

The Empress of Annihilation and her entourage successfully disguised themselves and infiltrated Yifeng Palace.

Meanwhile, outside the city of the Holy Capital, the heavy twilight seemed like a huge black silk ribbon, tightly enveloping the world.

Suddenly, a few wisps of faint, fleeting souls drifted leisurely from where the Seven Killings Banner was located toward the Holy Capital.

These wisps of soul were released by Ye Yunong from the Seven Killings Banner.

As they approached the majestic city walls of the Holy Capital, the guards remained completely unaware. The formation was not activated, and the souls, like wisps of smoke, passed through the city without hindrance and quietly infiltrated the Holy Capital.
