C343 Phantom of Night Shock

He subconsciously reached out his hand to grab her to ease the fear in his heart, and muttered: "Xin Fang, I don't believe that the Honorable General Zou would be so heartless. We grew up together, and he was gentle, affectionate, considerate, and even swore to marry me …"

Mrs Liu said coldly, "Miss, you still trust that unfaithful lover of yours. If he really had feelings for you, why would the empress sacrifice you in the past? How could he marry someone else? Do you know how many concubines he has taken over the years? He doesn't have any feelings for the princess, so where did he get such feelings for you from? I'm afraid that you have already treated the days of burning incense as his true feelings. However, to him, it is just an occasional dewdrop seeking thrill. "

Zuo Lian slumped back into his seat, completely unaware of what the cold object in his hand was.

Her thoughts were in a complete mess. These years, on the days of burning incense to Buddha, he and Xu Jingzi had spent some time together at the Cloud Realm Temple, making love and talking about how cute and beautiful their daughter was. Xu Jingzi would even look at Helian Hua from afar, saying that he hoped to have a common story with her, and even hugged her personally when she was young … Are these all fake?

She knew that Xu Jingzi had not only become a wife, but a concubine. She was the only one in his heart, and because he missed her too much, he asked the women to talk to fill the void.

Zuo Lianji had always believed in what sounded like genuine whispers, and now Fang felt that it was just a lie he wanted to believe. He had come to Xu Jingzi to seek some fantasy because he hadn't been able to find true love in the palace.

Neither she nor Xu Jingzi had expected the old love to come back. They were both very content with the status quo.

However, Empress Xu was not satisfied. If she wanted to break this balance, as long as Xu Jingzi and Zuo Lian continued to tangle with each other, and as long as Zuo Lian still lived, it would be possible to ruin her century-old plan.

"Xin Fang, what should I do now?" After all, Mrs Liu was her woman and had served her loyally since childhood. Even when she died and became a ghost, she had come to remind her that she was seeking help like a drowning person.

Mrs Liu scoffed, "Your servant was even forced to death by the empress, how could I have the ability to save you?" Your servant's reminder has come to a close, you can only save yourself. Empress Xu wants to overthrow the crown prince and push the eighth prince onto the throne. You also wish to rely on your mother's authority, but I'm afraid this' mother 'is not the eighth prince's mother, but his mother's wife! "

As if returning his soul, Zuo Lian thought of something. "Meng'er thinks that he is my biological son, and at this time, he will certainly stand on the same side as me. We will deal with the empress together. As long as she can help Meng'er ascend the throne, I will not be the number one person in the harem."

"But do you have the ability to topple the crown prince and deal with the empress at the same time? Just the empress's external influence alone was able to clearly understand your actions in the palace. Most likely, before the eighth prince had even taken the throne, the Xu family would have already revealed your background to the emperor! The emperor may not be young, but he's not at the point of being muddleheaded or old. You'll have to wait for him to die, won't you? Also, the crown prince is a high mountain, and the empress has not dared to act rashly for so many years.

The words were like ice water being poured onto his feet. Even the left side of his body had turned cold. However, she was facing the three great powers of Empress Xu, Helian Yuan Chen, and Helian Yu. How could she, a concubine who had lived like a prince for decades without having any backing, overturn the heavens?

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, the empress will use her position as the king to coax us, and not even the eighth prince will care about kinship!" Mrs Liu once again mercilessly threw out her trump card.

That's right, in order to prevent Helian Meng and Zuo Lian from getting too close, he had been raised in the empress dowager's palace since childhood. During these eighteen years, Empress Xu had spent so much time and effort to distance herself from their 'mother' and 'son.' Helian Meng actually wasn't close at all to this mufei. As for Zuo Lian, she knew that Helian Meng wasn't his biological son, so she didn't want to get close to him.

"Then... Then, what other path does this palace have? "

"Miss, you should think about it for yourself!" Mrs Liu abruptly flung her sleeves. With a loud noise, she suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Zuo Lian's hand suddenly lost weight and he almost fell. However, he was holding something in his hand. It was cold and hard to the touch, and it was rough to the touch. She hurried to the table, touched the candlestick, and lit it. With a terrible cry, Fang could see that what she had been holding and shaking all along was actually a ghastly white bone, an arm that had been wrapped in the skin and flesh of a sleeve.

The more she believed in Mrs Liu's ghost, the more she believed she had come here specifically to remind herself.

She sat under the lamp for a moment, staring into space with a pale face, when she heard a sharp knock on the door: "Open the door."

Zuo Lian was startled, and it turned out to be the voice of that damned enemy. She hesitated for a moment, and then thought of Mrs Liu's words. Those twenty years of love that she had kept in her heart suddenly gave rise to great doubts, and she hurriedly kicked half of her arm under the bed.

"Buckwheat? "Buckwheat?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was not safe. She looked around and finally found a pair of scissors in the meditation room. She quietly hid inside her clothes and opened the door.

His hair was a mess, his clothes were stained, and his face looked slightly fat and greasy. He no longer had the youthfulness and elegance of a teenager, so Zuo Lianji suddenly felt very strange. Just what did he miss about him these past twenty years?

Xu Jingzi hurriedly closed the door, nervously stepping forward and holding her by the shoulder: "How are you? Are you alright? "

"What should I do?" When Zuo Lian heard Mrs Liu's words, he inexplicably became resistant to her, and his reaction was very cold.

Xu Jingzi's forehead was covered in sweat as if he was still overly nervous. He didn't notice her abnormality and continued, "Before I came, I was attacked. For some reason, my vision went black, and then I lost consciousness. I was worried that something might have happened to you."

Zuo Lian frowned: "Who attacked you? Wounded? "

Xu Jingzi stared blankly for a moment, then touched the back of his head. There was no wound, but he vaguely remembered that he wasn't knocked unconscious. Instead, he felt something covering his head, followed by a strange smell.

Zuo Liangjie shot him a cold glance. "I think you've met a ghost."

Back when he was young, he had a deep love for money. Just like how he was now, he now looked like a fake.

Xu Jingzi froze for a moment before listening to her say, "I just saw Xin Fang's ghost here."

Mrs Liu had followed Zuo Lian into the House of Prime. She had also married a servant of the House of Zuo. Xu Jingzi was no stranger to her. But he did not expect Mrs Liu to be dead, and said in shock: "A ghost? She … Didn't I accompany you to burn incense last year? "

"She just died. She was tortured to death."

"Who did it?"

Zuo Lian stared at him coldly, feeling more and more that he was putting on a show. He put on a charming smile: "Look at the time, it's already so late. Don't talk about such terrifying things anymore. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
