The Empress Dowager was furious and berated Lord Sun in the palace.

Aunt Jian, the Empress Dowager's personal aunt at the time, suggested that the Empress Dowager adopt a baby girl as soon as possible to be her grandson, Sun Mengxi.

This led to the later Princess Zhaoping.

The Empress Dowager hated Lord Sun for not cherishing familial ties, and even though Zhaoping was not her biological niece, she still hated him.

The Empress Dowager ordered the mute woman to plant blood cicadas in Xiao Zhaoping and witnessed the whole process herself!

Upon seeing this, Ji Fengyao could no longer bear it;

She had seen vicious people in palace dramas on Earth before, but someone as vicious and inhuman as the Empress Dowager, who was not satisfied with wiping out her own family and wanted to take her anger out on an innocent baby, was truly a rare sight!

This isn't a human being, this is a beast!

In her excitement, Ji Fengyao used too much force, accidentally shattering the Empress Dowager's entire memory area.

And she saw the Empress Dowager trying to get information from the late Emperor about Consort Lian's whereabouts!

"puff!"

Overwhelmed with anger and anxiety, Ji Fengyao coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Miss!"

"princess!"

"My little wife!"

Xi Que and Bai Lu immediately abandoned the Empress Dowager, who had fainted after letting out a shrill scream, and simultaneously and in time helped Ji Fengyao, who had just woken up after vomiting blood.

But the next second, the little female bandit in the hands of the two maids was pulled into Shang Xiye's arms by him: "Little wife, what's wrong? Is there something strange about this old hag? Did you suffer a backlash?"

“No, I’m sorry, Your Highness,” the little bandit shook her head, grabbed Shang Xiye with her other hand, and glistened with tears in her clear phoenix eyes: “I was so angry that I lost control of my emotions at the crucial moment and shattered the old beast’s memory area. I couldn’t see where Consort Lian went.”

Shang Xiye was stunned for a moment, a dark disappointment flashing through his heart; but his little wife's tearful appearance, with blood on the corner of her lips, made his heart ache even more.

He took the handkerchief Bai Lu handed him and carefully wiped the bloodstains from the little bandit's lips, his voice low and gentle: "Are you sure she's still alive?"

“That’s for sure. Moreover, Consort Lian is also a cultivator, and at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, because she can walk on air.” Ji Fengyao regained some of her unique girlish liveliness and agility when she mentioned this.

She recounted everything she had seen in the Empress Dowager's memories from beginning to end;

The two maids, Xique and Bailu, gritted their teeth upon hearing this.

They were all amazed.

When Ji Fengyao mentioned that the Empress Dowager had personally destroyed the Sun family, and that it wasn't enough, she transferred her hatred for the Sun family onto Xiao Zhaoping, personally monitoring the mute woman to plant the blood cicada in Xiao Zhaoping, Zhaoping couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Holy crap! That old beast, she's never been a human being before!"

"Killing her is too easy on her!"

Enraged, Xique and Bailu jumped onto the bed and began to beat the unconscious Empress Dowager with punches and kicks!

Even grown men like Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Wuying, and Wuhen couldn't help but clench their fists, the veins on their foreheads and necks bulging!

The viciousness and cruelty of this old hag are simply appalling and outrageous!

"Your Highness, that's all I saw. I'm sorry," the young female bandit apologized to Shang Xiye again, her deep sense of guilt making her look dejected.

Because of Consort Lian's departure, it had become his obsession;

But when it came time to reveal the truth, she messed things up.

Looking at his wife's pitiful appearance, Shang Xiye felt incredibly warm inside, his heart melting with tenderness.
