Not far away from the corner of the backyard, Shangguan Wan noticed many flies circling on the ground.
Her heart tightened. Where there were flies, there would always be blood. In her mind, there would be a corpse.
Could it be that the cat demon had killed the empress dowager and buried her there?
She was a little afraid to approach that place. If she really dug out a corpse, what would she do?
Nangong Yu pulled her into his embrace, lowered his eyes and comforted his in a low voice, "It doesn't matter. No matter what, I have to get to the bottom of this."
Shangguan Wan snuggled up to his chest, praying in her heart that it wouldn't be the empress dowager, that it wouldn't be the empress dowager. How sad was she at such a delicate death? How could she accept it if the empress dowager left?
Although she had not spent any time with the Empress Dowager, their relationship was already very deep. In her heart, the Empress Mother played the role of mother.
She had lost her parents when she was young, and she and her elder sister depended on each other for survival. The love that the empress dowager gave her was so warm.
"Men, dig for us!" There was also a hint of worry in Nangong Yu's tone.
The sky was not up for grabs, and in the land was buried Her Majesty. Her body was a little rotten, but it was still recognizable.
Shangguan Wan immediately ran away, tears as big as beans dripping down her face, "Muhou …"
Senior Servant Jing lay prone next to the empress dowager's corpse, wailing in grief. "Esteemed Empress, why did you just leave this servant behind? Esteemed …"
Nangong Yu hugged Shangguan Wan, his heart aching from the pain.
He was born to a mother who raised him and plotted for him everywhere. How could he be separated from her forever?
In this world, he had lost another relative.
Was the monarch really a lonely man? His only wish now was that Shangguan Wan not leave, otherwise, what was the point of sitting here alone in this mountain and river?
He had to endure the pain as he opened his mouth to speak, "Pass on my orders, no word of what has happened today is allowed to be leaked. Those who violate my orders will be killed without question!" It was said that the Empress Dowager died of a serious illness. "The Ministry of Rites runs the funeral, and the whole country mourns it, in the month of Su!"
"Understood!"
News of the empress dowager's death came too suddenly. Some people were naturally discussing it, but they didn't know the reason.
Some people said that because the empress dowager missed the late emperor too much and became depressed, she was unable to cure her death.
Naturally, although this statement was miles away from the truth, it fulfilled the empress dowager's good name.
Qin Fei, the Imperial Advisor, galloped back to preside over the Empress Dowager's funeral and pray for her blessings.
Shangguan Wan didn't care too much, she was silently grieving in the Phoenix-Returning Hall.
Luo Chen was not easy to deal with, so he asked her in a stern voice: "Why do you have the Demonic Mirror in your hand?"
Shangguan Wan's thoughts went back to not long ago.
At that time, Luo Chen was still by Qi He's side, and they were very close.
One day, Qi He came to Feng Gui Palace to pay his respects and took out a mirror, showing off: "Aunt Huang, from what Luo Chen said, this is a Demonic Mirror, it can make demons and ghosts reveal their real bodies. He normally carries it in his pocket like it's a treasure, if I borrow it for fun today, would Aunt Huang be interested?"
With that, he handed the mirror in his hand to Shangguan Wan.
She carefully took it and immediately felt dizzy. This was indeed the Demonic Mirror, and it did not even reach her face, yet it had such a strong mana.
With Luo Chen's current cultivation, he might not even be able to use the Demonic Mirror. If he were to reach that level one day, he would be the first one to deal with him.
With this thought in her mind, she immediately thought of a trick to steal a dragon and turn into a phoenix.
In front of mortals, it was a piece of cake for a fox spirit to use a deceptive trick.
Therefore, the Demonic Mirror that Wei He returned was fake. Luo Chen didn't have any doubts about Qi He.
However, Shangguan Wan never thought that one day, she would personally use the Demonic Mirror to deal with the cat demon.
Luo Chen listened to the story and nodded his head, "The will of heaven is also here."
It was because of the will of the heavens that the cat demoness was punished.
Shangguan Wan smirked, "It's the will of the heavens, and it's man-made. If you didn't pull out your sabre at the critical moment, how could things have been resolved so quickly?"
Luo Chen curled his lips. "Don't think that I'll let you off just because you said that."
In fact, her hostility towards her had been reduced by more than half, but her mouth was still as tough as a rooster's.
"I never thought so." Shangguan Wan's face was full of helplessness. "Actually, you don't need to worry about it. Once the Imperial Advisor finishes what the empress dowager has to do, how can he forgive me?"
Luo Chen was shocked when he heard this, but he had forgotten about this person.
It was said that the Imperial Advisor's magic was powerful. He knew everything and knew everything. He was a god-like existence.
In other words, the fox spirits could be in danger at any time if they stayed in the palace.
Luo Chen was about to speak when Rui Xiang walked in and reported, "Empress, Senior Servant Jing committed suicide in her room."
"What?" Shangguan Wan was shocked.
Luo Chen sighed in his heart, "Such loyal servants."
Perhaps Senior Servant Jing had already treated serving the empress dowager as a habit, so when the empress dowager left, she also left and continued to wait upon her in the underworld.
One day as a servant, one day as a servant, one lifetime as a servant.
This kind of deep feeling was enough to make one cry.
"Buried." Shangguan Wan replied softly. Then, she remembered something and quickly instructed, "Pass down the imperial guards' order, throw the black cat's corpse to the wolves and feed it to them at the unmarked cemetery."
She, Shangguan Wan, had said that if she wanted it to die without a burial ground, she would do what she said. It would be too easy for it to die. It would be too easy for it to die and be buried in the belly of a wolf.
Don't blame her for being heartless, it's just that if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend them. If they insist on offending me, I'll definitely double the price!
This was the moral integrity of a fox spirit, and it could be said that she had given the Empress Dowager an explanation when she was dead.
