Aunt Sun and the two eunuchs outside came in upon hearing the noise, and they were also startled.

Holy crap!

Where did those dog paws come from? They're disgusting!

Even after the two eunuchs pinched their noses and removed the two rotten hands, the Empress Dowager still hadn't recovered. She lay half-lying on the soft couch, ordering everyone to change everything inside and outside the room. She also opened the windows for a long time, ignoring the chill of early spring, before finally stopping.

"This was done by that bandit!" The Empress Dowager slammed her fist on the small square table, saying angrily, "This must have been done by that little bandit, that bitch, who sent someone to take revenge on me!"

Aunt Sun stood with her head bowed beside the Empress Dowager, but in her heart she was thinking:

Although those hands were rotten beyond recognition, they looked somewhat familiar.

Ignoring Aunt Sun's thoughts, the Empress Dowager continued to pound the small square table, gritting her teeth as she said, "Summon Granny Chang and Granny Wang to the palace. That bandit has been making things difficult for me, and I will not let her have an easy time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Aunt Sun replied obediently without saying much.

They no longer possessed the competitive spirit and eagerness to show off that they once had.

He only kept his remaining life to ensure a prosperous future for his family, waiting for the Empress Dowager's final plan to be implemented, so that he could contribute his last bit of energy.

Granny Chang has always held considerable power in Dianxiang Pavilion.

In addition, her hand has been hurting lately, and she's been particularly irritable, so nobody wants to talk to her.

When Aunt Sun came looking for her, Princess Zhaoping sent someone to summon Granny Chang.

Before long, the maid came running in screaming, "Something terrible has happened! Granny Chang's hand has been chopped off, and there's blood all over the room. We don't know if she's dead or alive!"

Aunt Sun felt a chill run down her spine, recalling the hands in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

It turned out that the hand belonged to Granny Chang!

It seems the Empress Dowager was right; this was most likely done by someone from the Ninth Prince's residence!

Aunt Sun felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had entered a den of demons.

I can't stay in the Ninth Prince's Mansion for even a second longer!

Pretending to be in a hurry to see the Empress Dowager, Aunt Sun didn't even have time to accompany Princess Zhaoping to see the miserable state of Granny Chang. She hurriedly went to Ningxi Hall to call Granny Wang and then left in a hurry.

Aunt Sun and Granny Wang had just left.

Empress Dowager Xiao immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Ji Fengyao.

Just then, Xique returned from her stroll outside and overheard the maid from Ningxi Hall's reply. She sneered coldly, "That old hag, the Empress Dowager, specifically summoned Granny Wang. Who knows what kind of trouble she's up to now. If you ask me, the young master should have had someone stuff Granny Chang's rotten hands into that old hag's mouth yesterday, so she wouldn't be able to voice her wicked schemes!"

“The Empress Dowager is literate; even if she can’t speak it, she can write it,” Bai Lu said with a smile.

"Then cut off her claws too!" The little sparrow waved her hand, wishing she could rush up and chop someone up immediately.

Ji Fengyao rinsed her mouth with the water in Lin Shuang's hand and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Did Your Highness really have someone cut off Granny Chang's hand?"

"Yes, really! I went to see the excitement. The young master is so efficient and decisive!" Xi Que said with great joy, feeling extremely satisfied.

Ji Fengyao: "...Sigh, what a pity."

“That Granny Chang looks ruthless. I don’t know how many people she has harmed. She deserves to die. Your Highness, there’s no need to pity her,” Lin Shuang gently advised.

Ji Fengyao clenched her small fists, exuding a bandit-like air: "I finally caught someone who deserves to die, and the prince just chopped off her claws so easily. Now she won't have any claws to hurt anymore. Isn't that letting her off easy!"
