Xiao Tang nodded.

"Yes, the feng shui is extremely bad."

This is why that place became a desolate palace.

“The concubines who used to live in the West Palace all died mysteriously,” Di Jingling said.

Even if he heard this answer, he wouldn't be surprised, and would probably think it didn't matter.

[Ha, is the Empress Dowager an idiot?]

[They can come up with all sorts of strange ideas.]

Didn't the Empress Dowager know that this was not only harming the main villain, but also her own son?

If the young emperor were murdered, the Empress Dowager would have nowhere to turn to cry.

A curse upon the entire palace—such a vicious curse! One can only imagine the deep-seated hatred the perpetrator harbors.

Xiao Tang was so angry she laughed. She said gruffly, "That's right. The cursed jade bead was placed in that wretched place, the West Palace. It absorbed enough of the bad luck there, and the curse naturally took effect."

These words left Yang Defu utterly astonished, his mouth agape.

"Your Highness is not trying to scare me, is she...?"

Xiao Tang shrugged, "I wouldn't scare you for no reason."

"Then...what should we do?"

Xiao Tang narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the person lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

This guy pretends to faint whenever something happens, which clearly shows he knows what the consequences will be if his act is seen through.

Yang Defu followed Xiao Tang's gaze to his younger brother on the ground, his lips twitching slightly. Finally, unable to resist, he stepped forward and kicked Yang Dejiang twice.

"Stop pretending, get up!"

Yang De lay on the ground groaning and pretending to faint, continuing his act to the very end.

“As long as he does one thing for me, I will take care of this jade bead. As for other matters, I can let bygones be bygones.”
