Smiling, her smile was like a blooming rouge flower. It was faint, yet it also hid a wisp of gorgeous beauty, and only those who knew how to appreciate it would be able to taste this kind of beauty.

"Mother!" Don't worry about it in the future. Although Ran Er is a little strange, there is nothing in this world that you can't handle. " As he confidently fed her a tranquil pill, she felt a burst of happiness in her heart.

Pingfei nodded. The snowball quickly gave her a sense of familiarity. While gently hugging and touching its stomach, he heard a rumbling sound.

Of course, the sound didn't come from inside Snowball's stomach. It was a small one, the one that was always in a state of nervousness and couldn't get anything to eat, and all the dry rations that he had lost while running away. Now, she had her chest against her back. If not for her excitement, he would have been able to see the stars.

Slightly embarrassed, she tilted her head, pouting her small mouth as she gave a silly smile towards Princess Pingping to show her embarrassment.

"Hungry after a whole day of travel?" Pingfei got up and walked to the door. She looked around and was about to go to the other courtyards to find some food when she smelled a strange fragrance in the air.

Turning around, she immediately closed the door and gave a small wink with her face. Little Jun rolled into the cupboard, held the little thing in his arms and closed the door.

"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!" She rushed to the bed, grabbed a pillow, opened the door, and hurriedly ran out of the yard.

The pillow was on the floor, and she was patting it as if it were a child's. "Beau, mother will show you the moon," she said to herself. The moon tonight is so beautiful, so beautiful, haha! "Hahaha!"

A man and a woman quickly appeared outside the door. The people who came were none other than the Ghost Face and Empress. They quietly looked at the courtyard of Princess Pingping. Watching her crazy actions, the empress's lips curled up in an evil smile.

"Why not just kill her?" The Ghost Face asked in a small voice.

"Kill her?" The empress glared at the ghost-mask and humphed coldly as she continued, "If you kill her, that slut will search this place thoroughly. Don't forget, that slut isn't dead yet. "If Pingfei is dead and the emperor isn't awake, then we won't be in trouble?"

The Ghost Face had nothing to say, and stared at the woman in front of him. It seemed that the woman had become smarter and smarter recently, and her thoughts were much more comprehensive than before.

"We need to deal with the corpses in the backyard as soon as possible. Luckily, it's not summer yet, otherwise the stench would definitely attract the imperial guards." The empress looked at her with a conflicted expression. She kept having the feeling that there was something wrong with this woman. But, what if he was pretending to be crazy?

If she could act crazy for so many years in twenty years, then she had underestimated this woman. If so, perhaps this woman would become the most terrible thorn in the side.

"We'll be moving in the next two nights." The Ghost Face quickly gave her the answer, but at the same time, he also had another question, "Can you tell me why so many palace maids died in these few days, and why are those girls not even fourteen yet? What did you hide from me?"

The empress's eyes roamed about guiltily before giving him a final look. "It's not that I don't want to tell you some things, I just don't know if you'll feel better."

Don't want to say it?

For the first time, the Ghost Face felt that the distance between them was very far. For all these years, for the sake of important matters, for the sake of power, they had always snuggled together. It was also because of that little girl called Ran'er. It was definitely her that instigated the relationship between them. Thus, the distance between them grew farther and farther apart.

Sensing the Ghost Face's doubt, the Queen's serious face revealed a trace of a smile. Ye Zichen touched his masked face. If he could regain his former appearance, he would definitely make many women go crazy as well.

Her body trembled as an idea flashed through her mind. She felt extremely gratified as she smiled and said, "Ran Er has a way to restore your face."

"Impossible!"

His face was the most taboo topic for the Ghost Face, so he angrily shook off the empress's hand and looked towards the sky with his back facing her.

"There is nothing that is impossible. There are some things that cannot be explained properly, and there are some things that do not require a reason." The empress stood in front of the ghost mask, looking into his angry eyes, and boldly removed the mask from his face.

Under the mask, a hideous and terrifying face appeared. If it were anyone else, that face would probably have been screaming like crazy, or it might even be so scared that their souls wouldn't be able to return.

The ghost mask touched his face in excitement, and suddenly laughed out loud. He opened his arms and roared towards the sky, venting out his hatred as a man.

"Trust me, it's possible!" The empress fearlessly took a few steps forward and gently took his hand to give him a sure smile.

"Hahaha!" Are you joking with me? " The Ghost-Mask looked at the Empress with an ironic expression.

For so many years, he searched the entire world for the famous doctor and sage, but he was still unable to restore his appearance. Mu Ru Yue was just a little girl. Even if she had the power to control the world, she wasn't a deity. How could she possibly be cured? He had already given up and decided to bring this face that was even more terrifying than a ghost to see the various sects.

"Chi Lian, trust me. When have I ever lied to you? You must believe me, she can help you. " The empress did not give up, holding his hand tightly and looking at his bloodshot eyes confidently.

The ghost mask did not stop laughing. He shook his head and painfully closed his eyes. In his mind, that nightmare appeared again. He heard her mother's heart-wrenching screams, heard that woman's vicious laughter, heard her wet nurse's cries as she struggled with the fire.

No! Impossible, the scar on his face, like that terrible past, was burned forever in his heart.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. The bloodshot look in his eyes intensified as a thick killing intent filled the air. The hand holding the empress became strong as it clenched its teeth while looking at her. That face seemed to have transformed into another one that made her look sinister. Fear lingered in his heart.

"What's the matter with you?" The empress felt that there was something wrong with the ghost mask, could it be that this place was too strange and that it had been infected by some kind of evil?

The ghost mask was completely controlled by the image in his mind, he shook his head with all his might. His vision blurred and the queen's face turned into another person. Suddenly, he grabbed the empress's wrist with force.

"Let go …" Let go, you... "You're hurting me." The Queen tried to break free as if she had gone mad.

However, the Ghost Face was too excited, and a bruise appeared on the Empress' wrist. But he didn't seem to stop. Her other hand closed around her neck.

Crazy! This man must be crazy.

Pingfei stared at the scene in a daze for a long time. Just like that, she stared at the Ghost Face raising the Queen up in the air, watching the woman desperately struggling, as if she had already seen the summons of the god of death.

The empress panicked. Not only was she unable to breathe, she couldn't even move her hands. The shout in his throat gradually weakened. In this empty place, no one dared to enter even if they heard a sound.

It's over, she thought. It's really over this time. Who would have thought that instead of dying at the hands of that slut, he would die at the hands of his own people?

"Chi Lian, I am Ji'er, your favorite Ji … "Son!" A deep sound came from her throat, and she felt her breathing slow, as if she couldn't catch it.

At this critical moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly came.

Pow!

A slap came out of nowhere and hit him in the face. He immediately woke up, loosened his grip on the Queen and fainted on the ground.

Tap, tap, tap!

Taking a few steps back, he fell to the ground. His soul returned, and seeing the empress lying not far from him, he crawled over in a panic.

"Ji'er, what happened to you?" The ghost-mask shook the empress, but the empress remained indifferent as she closed her eyes.

Reaching out his hand, he pinched the middle of her body before waving his palm to inject zhenqi into her body. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

Tears dripped from the corner of her eyes onto his palm. When she opened and closed her eyes, her heart ached slightly.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really couldn't control myself. Even after so many years, those scenes still couldn't be removed from my mind. It's like a demon. It's been pestering me, pestering me. " The ghost-masked man clenched his fists, and his whole body started to go crazy.

Seeing that the ghost-mask was occupied by fear again, the Queen backed away until she was in the corner. She panted and looked around, hoping for a miracle.

Another gust of wind blew past. It was very cold, cool to the point that it reached the heart of the Ghost Face. The fear in his eyes slowly faded, and even his blood became ice-cold.

He returned to his senses and shook his head. Seeing the Queen looking at him in terror, he walked slowly towards her. Squatting down, he wiped away the tears for the empress, tightly embraced her, and cried out in a loud, heart-wrenching voice.

Until now, the Ghost Face had never told the Queen about their terrifying past. If he didn't, she wouldn't ask. All she knew was that every time his face was mentioned, he would go crazy.

Thus, over the past few years, she had only silently sought out a famous doctor for him, but she had never once brought up this matter. Unexpectedly, even after hiding for so many years, he was still unable to suppress the fear in his heart. Scary, too scary.

"If... If you still can't face it, one day... One day I will die by your hand. You... You can't go on like this. " The empress could not help but cry. Although she did not love this man, a man who had been by her side for so many years still had some trust in him. One loved others, and the other loved only himself.

Sad! For a woman to do such a thing, even she felt that it was a terrible sadness.

"No …" No! No! As long as you stop mentioning my face, stop mentioning it, I will... "I will slowly forget, forget about that pain, forget about …" The Ghost Face knew that he was deceiving himself, but he would rather do this than to be surrounded by nightmares every day. He could not hurt himself, he could no longer hurt himself.

The Queen sobbed and stared at the moon in the sky. From a pure and innocent little girl, she had turned into the vicious queen of today. The transformation had made her become more and more terrifying. Sometimes, when she looked in the mirror, she would ask if the person in the mirror was herself.

This courtyard was very familiar to her. It contained the scenes she hated the most, the people she hated the most. In this courtyard, she had killed that woman with her own hands.

However, even so, she was still unable to take back her lover's heart. Instead, there was an additional crystal wall between them that could never be broken. He could see his opponent, but was unable to truly approach him. This pain came from Chesley. Closing her eyes, her mind was filled with images of Imperial Consort Mei and the Emperor's intimate relationship.

Every time she saw him holding Imperial Concubine Mei's hand, she would say to herself: It's not that I can't force it.

However, the woman's strong possessiveness prevented her from letting go easily. Slowly, she realized that she cared more and more, and even now, she could not ignore it.
