In the evening, the blazing sun faded away and the setting sun shone like blood.

She thought that her master was about to wake up, so she left the Phoenix Restaurant and went to the imperial kitchens to get some pastries for her master to enjoy.

The steward of the imperial kitchens knew that the empress had won the favor of the king, so he was particularly polite to Qiao Xin as well. He even ordered her to help out with some pleasantries in front of the empress.

Qiao Xin nodded her head in agreement. Her mood was elated. Sure enough, she had enjoyed the good fortune with the right master.

On the way back, she saw a black cat swallow a rat in the Imperial Gardens of Qingfen Road. The scene was a bit disgusting, but to a cat, it was nothing more than normal food.

The rats in the palace were fewer now, and the cat was lucky to have found food.

But she wasn't so lucky, because she was surprised to find that the cat that had eaten the mouse had suddenly taken human form. It was the Empress Dowager!

The plate in Qiao Xin's hand fell to the ground. The pastries scattered in all directions. Her legs looked as if they were filled with lead as she was unable to move.

"Demon …" "Demons!" Cold sweat poured down her forehead as her limbs trembled. Because of her excessive fear, she collapsed onto the ground, even losing the ability to escape.

"Truly unfortunate. I was actually seen by you." The cat demoness lightly walked over and squatted in front of her. Her phoenix eyes revealed a shrewd and crafty light.

As a cat, if she saw a mouse, she would not let it go, even though she could enjoy the delicacies of the sea and the mountains every day.

"Demon …" She had never believed that there was a demon in this world before, but today, she had seen it with her own eyes, so how could this be a lie?

The empress dowager was clearly a mortal. If she were to transform into the empress dowager now, then the real empress dowager would most likely be in trouble.

The cat demoness smiled and got up. She said frivolously, "There isn't just one demoness in this palace. The Phoenix-Returning Phoenix is a genuine fox spirit."

Qiao Xin's lips trembled. "You're lying!" She knew that a great catastrophe was upon her, but she was still willing to defend the Empress's innocence before her death.

The Empress was extremely intelligent, had a kind heart, and had never acted maliciously. How could she possibly be on the same side as this demoness?

Anger rose in the cat demon's eyes. "Stupid girl."

Several birds flew into the air in fright, and a miserable scream came from behind the fake mountain.

Shangguan Wan got up from the bed, sweat pouring down her body. She had a terrifying nightmare, in which she was punished by the heavens for being in love with a mortal, being forced by lightning and fire to the point where she had nowhere to hide.

At this time, Lin Zi came in to report an even more terrifying news — her heart had died a tragic death.

When Shangguan Wan heard this, she nearly fainted. Her body fell on the bedpost and she asked while enduring the pain, "Where's the corpse?"

How could Lin Zi not know that the Empress and her master and servants had deep feelings and were like sisters? He calmly replied, "She is in the side hall."

It was unlucky for a palace maid to die and be unable to enter the main hall.

Shangguan Wan didn't have time to put on her outer robes and ran to the side palace, tears streaming down her face.

It was impossible, absolutely impossible, it had to be fake, they were playing tricks on her, she still had a sliver of fantasy in her head.

She would not resign herself to fate until she had seen her body with her own eyes.

However, the moment she stepped into the side chamber, Shangguan Wan's leg limped backwards. Her eyes widened like a lantern, and suddenly she couldn't even shed tears.

The woman lying on the ground was indeed skillful.

"Empress, my condolences." Lin Zi consoled sher on the side. The Emperor was currently in discussion with the Minister, so he didn't know of this matter. If he did, he would have immediately rushed over to comfort her.

Xiao Lin nodded, turned around and left, closing the door.

Shangguan Wan sat beside her, touching her cheek for a long time, hoping that she would wake up and talk to her.

A life like a flower, she had yet to enjoy enough life, and just like that she died.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, Shangguan Wan ran out hastily and asked that person, "What are you doing?"

The bloody wound on her body was left by a cat claw. Other than the one at the Longevity Palace, who else could it be?

"Qiao Xin is my man. Even if I have to avenge her, I will go." Shangguan Wan was full of energy, determination showing on her haggard face.

She didn't want him to get involved. He was no match for the cat demoness.

Luo Chen turned around with a cold and stern expression. "You guys are colluding with each other, and you still dare to say you want revenge?"

The fox spirit was truly crafty. This scene was practically a sham.

Shangguan Wan did not say anything, she did not want to explain further. In the Taoist's heart, all the demons were unforgivable and unforgivable.

Luo Chen saw that she did not respond, and ridiculed her: "Did I get it right? Esteemed Empress, you're a mother to the world, why would you care about the life and death of a small palace maid? That tear just now, it must have been for an outsider to see. "

Shangguan Wan moved in front of him, grabbing his neck. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see the blue flames in her eyes, it was extremely terrifying.

"Do you really think this demon doesn't dare to kill you?"

He could question anything, but he could not question her friendship for her sweet heart. When she died, no one was more upset than she was. Since entering the palace, she had always been considerate in taking care of herself, sharing both honor and disgrace.

She had said that she would take revenge for Qiao Xin. She would definitely take revenge for that damned Demon Cat.

If he did not avenge this enmity, he was not a fox!
