The weirdo let out a burst of laughter: "Heh heh heh...! Consort De, who would’ve thought that this is how you’ve lived all these years, tut tut...! How pitiful, your reign as Empress Dowager is not even as good as a palace maid! A palace maid, no matter how hard or tired she is during the day, can sleep soundly at night. You? During the day, you appear noble, but at night, you rest like a dog under a dark bed."
Upon hearing her former title mentioned, the Empress Dowager suddenly lifted her head and asked in confusion: "You... who are you people?"
Weirdo: "Debt collectors."
She had killed too many people in her lifetime to seat her son on the Emperor’s throne; the Empress Dowager couldn’t even remember who they were.
"Debt? What debt?" The Empress Dowager dared not get up from the ground.
"Look at me and see who I am?" The weirdo sprang over to her side.
The Empress Dowager glanced up and was startled, her body retreating uncontrollably, her mouth trembling as she spoke: "You... you... are you human or ghost?"
The weirdo knew that the Empress Dowager recognized him.
His features were too distinctive, with no hands or feet, only a torso remaining. In this lifetime, the Empress Dowager had likely mutilated only him in such a cruel way, so her memory was etched deeply!
"Yes, I am a ghost, and I have specifically returned to drag you to the Yama Hall for judgment." The weirdo laughed menacingly as he approached the Empress Dowager.
"You... you... don’t come closer."
Though the weirdo had no hands or feet, his body seemed to float toward her, frightening the Empress Dowager so much that her soul shattered. She thought the Eldest Prince had indeed returned as a malicious ghost for vengeance.
"You old witch, weren’t you very imposing when you harmed my master and servant back then?"
Lv Yinfeng was very angry, as he was the Eldest Prince’s trusted aide with influence over factions. The Empress Dowager feared him, so she plotted to also eliminate him. To subdue him, she spent a fortune to specially craft a Mysterious Iron Coffin, and once she succeeded, she had him buried, attempting to starve him to death. However, fate had other plans. On the day of his burial, a violent storm occurred, causing the mountain body to tilt and the coffin rolled into the underground palace. He lived there for decades.
The Empress Dowager trembled and asked: "Who... who are you then?"
What’s happening today? Why does it seem like everyone seeking revenge has arrived?
Lv Yinfeng angrily exclaimed: "You forgot you locked me in a coffin for decades!"
Coffin? That’s right, she remembered. Decades ago, she indeed locked someone in a coffin and buried it. But after so many years, shouldn’t he have turned to bones by now? How could he possibly be alive?
"You... you... are you human or ghost?" The Empress Dowager completely broke down.
The two spoke together: "We are both here for vengeance."
"Ah...!" The Empress Dowager, being older, more and more believed in the tales of ghosts and gods, thinking those she killed did return for retribution, screamed in terror.
The palace maids outside the door heard and thought the Empress Dowager was having another nightmare, rushed in, only to be dealt with by Lv Yinfeng hidden in the shadows before reaching the bedroom door.
The entire palace, now only the Empress Dowager remained alive.
"Master, all resolved."
Lv Yinfeng held a blood-stained dagger in his hand, crouched to wipe it on the Empress Dowager, then sheathed it.
The weirdo asked sinisterly: "Consort De, was it comfortable sitting on the Empress Dowager’s throne you schemed so hard to obtain?"
