The Empress said in a deep voice, “Give me your cell phone.”

Shadow did not know what she wanted to do, but he handed her the cell phone respectfully.

The curtain parted, and the Empress took the cell phone from him. Lowering her eyes, she said in a dignified and deep voice, “What’s that bastard’s number?”

Shadow shuddered and raised his head. “You plan to…”

No answer came from behind the curtains.

His eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously gave her a phone number. “You don’t have to communicate with her. I can pass the message on your behalf.”

The Empress completely ignored him. After entering the string of numbers into the cell phone, she dialed the number. At the same time, she pressed the loudspeaker and placed the cell phone by her bed.

Веер…

No one picked up the first time,

Shadow’s heart beat faster. An invisible pressure weighed down from above, making him bow his head even lower and not dare to say a word.

The Empress patiently dialed a second time.

Веер…

No one picked up this time either.

Before she hung up, he heard a faint electric sizzle, followed by a girlish voice.

“Hello.”

It was Qiao Nian!

Shadow’s heart sank and cold sweat drenched his back. It was obvious how nervous he was as he clenched his hands.

Behind the curtains.

The Empress said in a low voice, “Even your voice is so similar to hers. It’s a pity that you haven’t taken after her personality.”

A few seconds of silence ensued on the other end, as if the other party had hung up.

Shadow waited for a long time before the girl spoke again.

“Pfft, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I was born with this temper. She has a good temper, but unfortunately, she died early.”

“Qiao Nian!” The Empress spoke slowly as if giving off a bloodthirsty warning.

However, this warning was useless.

The girl seemed to have been born rebellious. “Did I say something wrong? Don’t you know how she died?”

Shadow’s back was drenched in a cold sweat. He knelt on one knee and tried to bury his head in the ground.

From behind the curtain came the Empress’s low panting. It seemed that she had been provoked badly.

For so many years, almost no one dared to mention this matter in front of her. Ji Qing was taboo, and Ji Qing’s death was even more so!

However, this taboo was exposed today, allowing everyone to see the truth hidden back then.

Ji Qing had died at the hands of her own mother!

“Tell me, why did you call me?” The girl’s voice turned casual just as when she answered the call.

It was as if she was not talking to her grandmother, whom she had never seen before, but a stranger.

The Empress’s expression was tense, and her eyes were dark. Her expression softened. “What do you want to do to Ji Ziyin?”

The girl did not say anything.

She continued, “You were the one who gave up on the mission first and didn’t look for Lu Zhi. Since you’ve lost, you have to admit defeat. Don’t play a cheap trick behind her back. I’ve already arranged for someone to pick them up at the airport. Stay away if you’re smart. You won’t succeed!

“Also, I haven’t settled the score with you regarding Continent F. You should understand what I mean.’

On the other end, one could almost hear her breathing.

Shadow lowered his head.

After a long while.

The girl laughed softly as if she was mocking the Empress. It was cold and arrogant, “Did you call to warn me to follow the rules?”

“Should you not follow the rules?” the Empress asked.

“What if I don’t?” The girl showed off. “What can you do to me if I don’t follow the rules?!”

What could the reclusive families do if she did not follow the rules today?!
