Just as everyone turned to look at the empress dowager, they saw a streak of silver-blue flame behind her, like a ball of fire, slowly illuminating the entire banquet site.

Although it was the silver-blue colored ball of fire that brought the light, it was not able to illuminate the entire banquet site.

Only close to the Empress Dowager was the light of the flames particularly bright.

Soon after, a ball of fire rose behind the empress dowager. A white-robed figure with unkempt hair and a face that couldn't be seen leapt out from behind her.

"Someone, protect the empress dowager!"

Before anyone could react, Bai Linyu regained her senses and called out to her guards to protect the empress dowager.

However, everyone, including the guards, was shocked by this scene. Some of them were so scared that their entire body trembled, while some timid palace maids weakly sat on the ground.

"Esteemed empress, esteemed empress …"

Suddenly, that ghostly white figure opened her mouth and spoke. It was as if her voice was overlapping. The moment she opened her mouth, there were actually two voices. As for her voice, it was extremely frightening.

"Ghost, ghost, ghost …"

One of the eunuchs serving by the empress dowager's side was scared out of his wits. He watched as the ghostly figure took part in the battle and ran away in terror.

"What the hell are you talking about? Men, men, arrest this mysterious man! Men, quick, come …"

The empress dowager was supported by Qin mama. When she saw the ghostly figure behind her, she was frightened out of her wits.

She frantically called for her bodyguards to protect her, but the bodyguards didn't know what the white figure was and didn't dare to rashly step forward to attack.

"Esteemed Empress, this subject's wife has come to pick you up. Esteemed Empress …"

The ghostly figure called her 'Esteemed Empress' again and again, but everyone knew that the current Emperor of Huan Yue hadn't established an empress yet. Who was this ghostly figure calling an empress then?

"Esteemed empress, follow this subject's wife. This subject's wife came to pick you up, esteemed empress …"

Bai Linyu stared at that ghostly figure, saw that figure stretch out his hand, and that sharp and long fingernails reached out towards the empress dowager. Bai Linyu could not sit still any longer, the tip of her foot lightly tapped, and she rose to fly over.

He channeled the internal energy in his body into his hand and attacked the ghost shadow.

But the moment he touched the ghostly figure, his hand passed right through it. On his hand, there was not even the slightest sensation of contact.

"Yu'er, quickly finish her off. Capture her! This person is pretending to be mysterious. Capture her …"

Bai Linyu's brow creased, and her body descended to stand in front of the empress dowager.

He raised his eyes to look at the ghost-like figure, and at that moment, the ghost-like figure actually extended a hand to brush away the hair covering his entire face. Under the pitch-black hair was an almost identical face to Hua Mu Jin.

"Esteemed empress, this subject's wife has come to pick you up. Follow this subject's wife, ah, esteemed empress …"

"Qingcheng …"

"Sister …"

After the ghostly figure revealed itself, Mu Yuze and Mu Xuanyin slowly walked over, looking at the ghostly figure as they called out to him.

When the ghostly figure heard their voices, it seemed to be extremely shocked. It actually turned its head to look at Mu Yuze and Mu Xuanyin.

Then, a ghostly figure flew in front of the two of them.

"Brother Wang, Yuze …"

"Qingcheng, is that really you?"

Mu Xuanyin stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the ghostly figure's face. However, just like how Bai Ling Feather had attacked the demonic figure earlier, the hand she extended out missed, and didn't touch anything.

"Brother Wang, Yuze, I died a miserable death …"

"Sister Huang, tell me, who caused your death? Tell me."

After the ghostly figure looked at Mu Yuze and Mu Xuanyin, it actually began to cry softly. Although it was a ghost-like figure without a physical body, its appearance was extremely real.

"Brother Wang, Yuze, help me take revenge. It's her, she's the one who killed me. It's her, it's the empress …"

Mu Xuanli wanted to hug the ghostly figure, but he missed. The figure seemed to hesitate, and just as he was about to hug it, it dispersed and then regrouped together.

"You, you're Hua Mujiao, you're Hua Mujiao, right? Stop pretending to be so mysterious. Someone, grab her, catch her …"

The empress dowager was a little flustered at being called the murderer by the ghostly figure. Without any consideration, she opened her mouth to say that the figure was Hua Mu Jin.

"What's me? Your majesty, your majesty, where are you? "Why did the imperial garden suddenly go dark? The emperor …"

Just as the empress dowager finished speaking, Hua Mu Jin's voice came from the darkness nearby.

The green bamboo carried the lantern with a weak light as it walked behind Hua Mu Jin. At this moment, Hua Mu Jin was wearing a light pink dress as she walked towards everyone.

She seemed to have come to look for the White Battlefield. She looked around, and even the ghostly figure floating in the air did not enter her eyes.

"Your Majesty, where are you? "Are you alright, your majesty …"

"I'm here."

Hua Mujiao worriedly called out to Bai Zhan Ke, but just as she walked to the side of the stage, Bai Zhan Ke was already standing beside her.

"It's good that you're fine. You're worried to death."

Hua Mujiao hugged Bai Zhan Ke, as if she was extremely worried and didn't want to let go of Bai Zhan Ke.

"I'm fine."

Bai Zhan wrapped his arms around Hua Mu Jin and caressed her messy hair.

"What happened? How could the royal garden suddenly be extinguished? "Where's little imperial uncle and big imperial uncle? They're here …"

Hua Mu Jin raised her head from Bai Zhan Ke's embrace, wanting to search for Mu Yu Ze and Mu Xuanyin's silhouettes, but when she looked towards the bright blue light, she suddenly shouted out.

"Ah, then, what is that? Is it, is it a ghost?"

Hua Mujie's face was filled with fear. After shouting out loud, she buried her head in Bai Zhan Ke's chest.

"Jin'er, my child, it's mother! Jin'er …"

When that ghostly figure saw Hua Mu Jin, it actually directly passed through Mu Yuze's body and floated towards where Hua Mu Jin was.

Hua Mujiao was so scared that she hid herself on top of Bai Zhan Ke, shouting, "You, don't come near me, I, I don't know who you are, I'm afraid of ghosts, don't come over …"

Hua Mujie didn't even dare to look at that ghostly figure. His entire face was pressed against Bai Zhan Ke's chest.

After being yelled at by Hua Mu Jin, the ghost figure seemed to be at a loss. It actually stopped not too far away from Hua Mu Jin.

"Jin'er, my child, I'm your mother! Jin'er …"

It could be seen that the ghostly figure was truly sad. That weeping sound, when heard by everyone, caused them to feel sympathy, but at the same time, it made them feel a sense of hunger that was horrifying.

"Mother? You … You're my mother? "

The ghost figure stopped not far away, and Hua Mujiao stuck her head out, suspiciously looking at the ghost voice.

"Child, Jin'er, my child …"

After clearly seeing the ghostly figure's face, Hua Mujiao was suddenly no longer afraid.

She left the battlefield and walked towards the ghostly figure. "You … you really are my mother?"

"Jin'er, child, I'm your mother …"

In a split-second, the flower hibiscus's eyes moistened, and tears rolled down from her eyes, burning her cheeks.

"Mother, is it really you? Mother, did you come back to see me? Mother … "

Seeing that ghostly figure, Hua Mu Jin wanted to reach out to touch it, but when she did, the figure dissipated like white smoke.

Hua Mujiao seemed unwilling to give up, jumping with all her might to hug that figure, but she couldn't even touch it.

"Mother, let Jin'er touch you, let Jin'er hug you! Mother, Jin'er is begging you, mother …"

Looking at this kind of flower hibiscus, Bai Zhan Ke's heart felt a piercing pain.

She stepped forward and pulled on the hibiscus before telling her to stop.

"Mother, tell Jin'er how you died. Who caused your death? Jin'er will definitely avenge you. Mother …"

Hua Mu Jin's back was sad, but it didn't seem to be an act.

Perhaps it was because she had never received a mother's love since she was young, but right now, she felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was suffocating.

"Jin'er, my child is the empress. It was Nangong Liu-Li. She killed him …"

The ghostly figure pointed the culprit towards the empress dowager again. Before she could finish speaking, the ghostly figure slowly disappeared in front of Hua Mu Jin.

"Mother, don't go, don't go, mother …"

After the ghostly figure had completely disappeared, the lanterns in the imperial garden lit up one by one.

Hua Mujiao leaned on Bai Zhan Ke's body, her face filled with tears.

This sudden and unbelievable event had caused everyone to be unable to recover from their shock.

"Jin'er, don't cry."

Looking at the sorrowful and painful flower hibiscus, Bai Zhan Ke's heart ached to the extreme.

He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't find a way to do so.

"Your Majesty, mother left. She'll never come back, never come back …"

"I think the empress dowager should give me an explanation of what happened in the Southern Kingdom!"

Mu Yuze was furious. She glared angrily at the empress dowager, who was protected by Bai Lingyu. Right now, the empress dowager was still trembling. Her eyes were filled with hostility, causing one's hair to stand on end.

"It's not that the empress dowager should give us an explanation, but that the entire Huan Yue Country should give us an explanation!"

Mu Xuanli was as angry as Mu Yuze. He clenched his fists tightly, because if it weren't for the fact that they were in Huan Yue Country, he would have already ripped off the empress dowager's skin and dismembered her.

"This Dowager doesn't know, This Dowager doesn't know. It isn't This Dowager, it's someone playing tricks on This Dowager. This Dowager doesn't know, This Dowager doesn't know …"

It was as if the empress dowager had been scared out of her wits, so much so that she didn't even know how many times she spoke.

Bai Linyu looked at the empress dowager, who was scared out of her wits, and felt her heart ache.

He instructed the also frightened Senior Servant Qin. "Senior Servant, help the empress dowager return to the Dew Palace and take good care of her."

However, Qin mama didn't seem to have recovered her soul and didn't even hear Bai Linyu's words.
