"The one I want from Luo Susu!" Her eyes were once again filled with envy and hatred, and her ice-cold face looked like a living dead man.

Tap, tap, tap!

The sensitive name caused the empress to retreat, all the hairs on her body standing up, her stiff body leaning against the wall, her eyes radiating a light more terrifying than fear.

Closing her eyes, the scenes of that night played out in her mind once more. She felt as if she was about to collapse.

"What, you're scared of that woman!" What was there to be afraid of? What are you afraid of! "She's dead. She's been dead for so many years!" However, wasn't it the same as well? The pain and wounds from before were still vivid in her mind. She was driven mad with excitement, and hatred seeped into her eyes. She clenched her fists, causing bright red blood to ooze out.

One drop, two drops, fell on her white embroidered shoes.

Blood!

The empress understood Ran'er's heart-wrenching pain. Perhaps they were all the same, that woman had taken the man they loved deeply. Thus, they all had the same hatred. Because of this, she felt a bit less fearful of Ran-Er and took a few steps forward.

"Go away! Don't come near me! " Ran Er suddenly raised her head and glared at the empress. Her frightening gaze made it seem as if she was about to be devoured.

The Queen took a few steps back and asked very calmly, "We all have the same hatred for that woman. However, she has already been dead for more than twenty years. Even if she had the jade pendant, she would have been buried with him. "

"Bury? "Hahaha!"

Ran Er raised her head and laughed wildly. After laughing, she said with a cold face, "I have searched through that woman's grave and even her bones were crushed by me and thrown into the sea to be fed to the fishes. However, I did not find those two jade pendants."

The Queen swallowed her saliva as she heard that. In her mind, she thought of Luo Susu's miserable appearance when she died. Her face was even more pale as she said gloomily, "Who are you?"

"I don't want to repeat what I said, and I don't want to see the next person to lie in the graveyard that you will be! Since we are the enemy of that slut at the same time, we should be on the same side. I hope my appearance will help you, but similarly, your presence will also help me. "Because I never stand with people who have no interests." Ran'er spoke very clearly, giving the empress a warning with her eyes.

She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of fire, burning the wall not far away from the empress. The empress was so frightened that she dared not speak further. Her body trembled as she nodded repeatedly.

"Take the paintings. Remember, from today on, the only thing you need to do is to find the whereabouts of these two jade pendants. As for the throne, once the jade pendant is found, the throne will naturally be in your hands. " Ran'er stuffed the painting into Lan Yuyan's hands without saying a word. Turning around, she ignored the terrified Queen.

Facing the serene corridor, her ordinary face had already faded, returning to its original astonishing appearance. She was like a beautiful ghost from hell, shuttling to the end of the corridor and then completely disappearing into the night.

The empress was frightened out of her wits. She looked at the wall that had just been burnt black and reached out to touch it.

It took a while for her to regain her consciousness. He touched the wall as he walked step by step towards his own courtyard.

That night, the empress dreamed of all the bad things she had done in the past. She dreamed about how those who had died had turned into souls and revealed their hideous faces. She looked at her with her bloody lantern eyes, expecting to see the moment of her death.

The next day she was ill. While she was still in a daze from the fever, she shockingly discovered that the emperor was standing by her bedside, causing her to feel flattered and faint once again.

"Empress, what happened to you?" Xuanyuan Zhenhua sat beside the bed, his heart hanging in the air.

He rushed over as soon as he heard the news that the empress was ill. He didn't expect that after guarding here for a few hours, she hadn't woken up.

Is it really the Emperor? Was he dreaming?

Xuanyuan Zhenhua's gentle voice called into her ears, the empress was so moved that tears welled up from the corners of her eyes. He dared not open her eyes to confirm if everything was true?

This was because for almost three years, the emperor had been served by Imperial Concubine Mei. Even the number of people who came to his chambers were few and far between. But now, he was holding her hand as he sat on the edge of the bed. This kind of favor could only be enjoyed in her dreams.

"Empress, what grievances did you suffer? Tell This Emperor, This Emperor will definitely help you." Xuanyuan Zhenhua wiped the tears off the face of the empress, causing him to feel heartache.

He thought that since everyone had reached this age, it would be better to be able to live a peaceful life than anything else. Perhaps, it was because of this that he had neglected the Queen's feelings all these years, focusing only on the common topic with Imperial Concubine Mei, slightly forgetting that he had a woman who loved him by his side.

"Your majesty!" The empress threw herself into the emperor's embrace, feeling the warmth that she hadn't felt in a long time. She broke down crying as she said, "As long as the emperor can accompany chenqie, then chenqie will be satisfied."

"I should also put down what I am doing and accompany you properly so that your injuries can heal faster." Xuanyuan Zhenhua pressed his face against the empress's, his body swaying. It was as if he had returned to the days when they had just gotten married. At that time, they had all loved and been happy. If not for her narrow-mindedness, perhaps their happiness would have lasted forever.

"Thank you, your majesty!" Thank you, your majesty! "

The empress opened her tear-stained eyes and saw Ran'er standing in front of her, smiling at her. She immediately understood why the Emperor would appear at this time.

Ran Er nodded and left the house. Closing the door, a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother! "

Xuanyuan Jie and Xuanyuan Ye who had heard the news rushed to the entrance, but were almost seen by the two brothers. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and immediately put on a nervous expression, extending her arms to stop the two brothers.

"Damned girl, get out of my way!"

Xuanyuan Jie, who always had a bad temper, roared at Ran'er and unceremoniously forced her to the ground.

Seeing Lan'er, Xuanyuan Ye naturally thought that royal father was definitely inside. Pulling on second brother, he said in a low voice, "It's rare for royal father to come and visit mother. It's best if we don't disturb them and let them have a good chat!"

"But …"

Xuanyuan Jie's temper was indeed bad, but he was extremely filial. Usually, when her mother was feeling a little unwell, he would come over to ask her about it and take good care of her.

"There are no buts, let's go …" "Let's go!"

Xuanyuan Ye pulled at Second Brother and watched as the Queen Mother approached with the royal father. It was better than the Queen Mother being with that annoying fellow, because he hated that black-faced ghost to the extreme.

Pulled out of the courtyard, Xuanyuan Jie couldn't help but turn around to look back several times with worry in his heart.

Behind the fake mountain in the courtyard, a masked face revealed a pair of eyes full of killing intent. Ran'er, who was also locked to the door, looked at the door with hatred.

This was the first time he saw this girl, and he felt that something was off. However, he was unable to find out where this woman came from.

At the door, Ran Er suddenly raised her head. She was like a poisonous needle, aiming straight at the man who revealed a pair of eyes.

At this moment, when Xiaoxiao heard that the empress was sick, she obviously pretended to come to take a look. Just as she entered the courtyard, she saw a man sneakily standing behind a fake mountain. A memory flashed through her mind, and she immediately recognized him as the guy from the rouge hall.

A surprised person pointed at him and she suddenly shouted, "You …" Someone! Someone! An assassin! There's an assassin! "

With such a small roar, all the guards outside the yard rushed in. Even Xuanyuan Jie and his brother who had just left the other yard rushed over to see what was going on.

Seeing that the Ghost Face was about to alarm the guards, he shook off Xiaoxiao and ran to the other side of the courtyard. He was too familiar with the layout of the palace. He wanted to take care of it in a few steps, but then he realised that there was still the emperor in the room. If the emperor was alarmed, things would become troublesome. He could only avoid the surrounding guards, attacking and defending at the same time.

However, the small voice was too loud. With a shout, the guards were like a flood of water, quickly surrounding the Ghost Face.

Like this, the Ghost-Mask could only run with all his might!

"Over there, over there!" Xiaoxiao did not know why she was so excited, but she chased after him all the way. With a shout, she called over a dozen of the guards in the back of the courtyard over.

As soon as Xuanyuan Jie entered the yard, he saw that he was extremely busy. That crazy look on his face made him stand where he was and admire him with great interest. On the other hand, Xuanyuan Ye, who was beside him, noticed that the guards were chasing after the Ghost Face. He gripped his sword tightly and chased after them.

He hated that man, hated him from the bottom of his heart. However, the thought that if this man were to be caught, it would affect the Queen Mother. Helpless, he decided to help out first before settling his old grudge.

Tap, tap, tap!

Lightning dashed to the front of the guards, made her move, and engaged the Ghost Face. After a few rounds, the two of them appeared to be equally matched.

He hid with tacit understanding and quickly dodged. Xuanyuan Ye turned around and pulled out the treasure sword at his waist as his eyes burned with killing intent.

Killing intent filled the air, creating a sorrowful feeling!

The Ghost Face saw the murderous intent in Xuanyuan Ye's eyes and frowned in shock. Of course, he did not draw his sword. He easily dodged the sword and followed the familiar path as he ran.

His high and powerful movement technique and extraordinary speed made it impossible for the guards to keep up. After passing through a few courtyards, the Ghost Face had lost all of its guards. The two of them stood on top of a large hall.

The sunlight was very strong, making it somewhat dazzling. The hatred in Xuanyuan Ye's heart intensified as he tightly locked onto the man not far away. He clenched his teeth and waved the treasured sword in his hand, wishing that he could tear the man in front of him into a thousand pieces.

"Why? "Why do you hate me so much?" He knew that Xuanyuan Ye was always dissatisfied with him, but he never thought that this brat would actually have the intention to kill him.

Inside the house, her beloved woman was lying with another man. In front of him, the child he had watched growing up was also filled with hatred towards him.

Why?

What did he do wrong?

He really wanted to ask the heavens why Ye'er didn't understand his kindness after all these years of painstakingly working for the sake of him and his mother.

"No one can endure the adultery of her mother with a wicked man! After all these years, you have made me unable to hold my head up high. " Xuanyuan Ye spoke the words that had been suppressed in his heart for many years word by word. Looking at him, it was as if he was looking at his own humiliation, at royal father's humiliation, at his mother's humiliation, at the imperial family's humiliation.
