The Elder watched the Weirdo lying on the ground, staring blankly, and couldn’t help but shout, "Master, Master, we should leave too."
Xuexue’s subordinates also left with the palace maids. In the vast night, only he and his master were left alone in place.
The Weirdo nodded: "Let’s go!"
After saying that, his body agilely bounced on the ground, and the whole person darted forward swiftly.
The Elder’s eyes were full of admiration. If he had gone through his master’s experiences, perhaps he wouldn’t even have the courage to continue living, let alone practice such profound martial arts, so he was willingly devoted to serving the Weirdo.
Such a determined person is admirable even if not successful.
"Why are you still dawdling, hurry up and leave." The Weirdo’s shout echoed from afar.
The Elder responded with a sound and quickly chased after him.
The two of them moved like ghosts, jumped onto the City Gate Tower, then jumped down, and soon their figures disappeared on the streets of the Capital.
The next day, early morning.
The Emperor, who had been irritated for days, surprisingly felt quite cheerful and was leisurely having breakfast with Noble Consort Wang.
A Little Eunuch rushed in hastily, not even having time to pay respects, and said, "Report to the Emperor, something bad has happened!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor was furious and forcefully tossed the bowl in his hand...
"Clang!"
The bowl fell to the ground, spilling congee everywhere. The Emperor was most averse to hearing the word "bad," and the Little Eunuch had obviously violated his major taboo, naturally provoking a storm of anger.
The Little Eunuch was so frightened that his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, fiercely kowtowing for forgiveness: "Emperor, please forgive me. Your servant did not intend to offend you, but something significant has truly occurred outside, hence dared to come and disturb."
The Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Then speak, what exactly is this big matter? If it’s not big enough, I’ll have your head!"
The Little Eunuch trembled and said, "The people guarding the Imperial Mausoleum just came to report that last night, the Empress Dowager’s tomb was dug up. The corpse was in a terrible state, your servant was horrified, so I hurried to report to the Emperor."
"What?" The Emperor suddenly stood up from his chair, his face turning extremely grim: "Who? Who exactly did this?"
Not even sparing the dead; clearly, this person holds a massive grudge against the Royal Family.
The Little Eunuch shivered all over: "Your servant does not know."
He was just a messenger; he knows nothing!
The Emperor staggered, almost losing his balance, and Noble Consort Wang quickly supported him, softly saying, "Emperor, take care of your dragon body!"
"The Royal Family’s ancestral tomb has been dug up, what’s there to take care of!" Learning this news made the Emperor furious. He had been ravenous earlier, but now, even if served dragon meat, he wouldn’t be able to eat it. He instructed the Little Eunuch, "Hurry, bring the people guarding the Imperial Mausoleum here."
"Yes!"
The Little Eunuch dared not slack off, and tremblingly stood up from the ground, sprinted outside...
Soon enough, he brought in a middle-aged man.
The man meticulously knelt on the ground and performed the court etiquette: "Minister greets the Emperor, wishing my Emperor ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand ten thousand years."
The Emperor stared gloomily at him and asked: "What exactly happened? Why is the Empress Dowager’s corpse damaged?"
The man showed a terrified expression. Last night when he rested, he had specifically inspected the Imperial Mausoleum before returning to rest, but somehow, early this morning, the mausoleum’s door was wide open, and it had turned into such a state.
