Qin Run suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot angrily, and turned back.
Jiang Qingwan said leisurely, "You were the one who brought him back back then and gave him a chance to live. Now, it's time to send him off properly and give him a place to go. Otherwise, his soul will be restless and unwilling to enter the cycle of reincarnation. He will definitely haunt you, the one who gave him this karma, for the rest of his life."
"Remember, to appease the spirits of the deceased, offer incense once every seven days, for a period of three years. Do not forget."
She finished speaking and turned to leave.
All that remained was a furious Qin Minglang.
He refused to touch Qin Run's body.
Just as he was about to casually cover it with soil, Qin Run's eyes suddenly opened.
Blood red, blood red, waiting for him with all its might.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud and screamed.
Qinghui, Li Dou, and Lian'er, who had already walked quite a distance, all turned back at once.
All they saw was Qin Minglang rolling and crawling on the ground as if he had seen a ghost.
Lian'er couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong with him?"
Jiang Qingwan withdrew the spiritual energy from her fingertips, her expression indifferent.
"I told Qin Run to open his eyes and watch his adoptive father properly bury him, and not to slack off."
Lian'er choked.
I wanted to laugh but also felt terrified.
Qinghui still felt unhappy.
"Your Highness, are you really not going to kill him? I promise to do it cleanly and neatly, without leaving a trace."
Jiang Qingwan looked at her helplessly.
"No need. He has his own place to go, so we don't need to do anything. Besides... he's still useful while he's alive."
...
Inside the mourning hall of the main hall of Kunning Palace,
The eunuchs and palace maids, who had stayed up for several nights, all looked exhausted.
The machine feeds gold leaf into the basin.
Suddenly, a black cat let out a sharp meow and darted into the mourning hall from somewhere, leaping over the coffin.
Everyone was startled.
A black cat encountering a spirit is a very ominous sign.
The eunuch mustered his courage and went to chase them away.
The black cat's eyes were even more peculiar.
One is pure black, and the other is pure red.
Standing atop the coffin, he slowly turned his head.
Its dark red eyes stared intently at the approaching eunuchs, and it gave a strange smile.
The next moment, she screamed again, stomped on the coffin with all four limbs, leaped into the beam, and quickly disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the coffin began to shake.
It even made creaking sounds coming from inside.
It was as if the deceased empress dowager had come back to life and was scratching at the coffin with her sharp fingernails.
The sound was desolate, yet terrifying.
This terrified the eunuchs and palace maids who were keeping vigil, and they screamed and ran outside.
The Fourth Prince Mo Shaoze and the Sixth Prince Mo Shaoye, who had just finished their rest, rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
"What happened?"
The eunuchs and palace maids were too frightened to speak, and all pointed at the main hall and the mourning hall.
The two looked up and saw the coffin swaying back and forth in the dimly lit hall. The coffin lid, which was not nailed shut, seemed to be being pushed to one side by something.
It makes a creaking, grinding sound.
Mo Shaoye was young and was so scared he almost peed himself.
"Fourth Brother, has the Empress Dowager come back to life?"
Mo Shaoze felt a chill run down his spine at that moment.
He forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense."
A eunuch explained in a terrified tone.
"Your Highness, a black cat has bumped into the Empress Dowager's coffin. A black cat bumping into a coffin will surely cause the corpse to turn into a zombie."
"Shut up!"
Mo Shaoze glared at him fiercely.
"Go and invite the Emperor over. Everyone, retreat to the courtyard and keep quiet."
"yes!"
His calmness gave everyone a sense of security.
There was no more panicked screaming.
After the eunuch who had invited the emperor left, he suddenly remembered something and beckoned Xiao Jiangzi over.
"Has Ninth Prince Uncle gone to the palace?"
Xiao Jiangzi nodded.
"Yes, I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the Emperor Emeritus."
Mo Shaoze immediately gave the order in a low voice.
"Go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation immediately and tell Uncle Wang what happened in the Kunning Palace. If there really is a zombie resurrection, only the Ninth Princess can resolve this matter."
Xiao Jiangzi quickly bowed and left.
By the time Mo Yunhan arrived from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Imperial Guards had already sealed off the Kunning Palace.
Yan Yunqing personally guarded the area.
Mo Shaoze and Mo Shaoye were both kicked out.
Upon seeing him, they all hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings, Uncle Wang."
Mo Yunhan frowned and looked at the palace gate.
"What exactly happened?"
Just as Mo Shaoze was about to explain, Yan Yunqing spoke first.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has already gone in to handle the matter. He specifically instructed that no one is allowed to enter and disturb the peace, and even more so, no one is allowed to spread rumors or create panic. I hope everyone will be careful with their words and actions and not put me in a difficult position."
Mo Yunhan ignored him.
He looked up at the sky above Kunning Palace.
Perhaps because of his cultivation with magical artifacts, although he couldn't see much, he could vaguely sense that a strange aura was gathering in the sky above.
It exudes an unsettling, chilling feeling.
"Your Majesty went in alone?"
Yan Yunqing nodded.
"yes!"
"Nonsense!"
Mo Yunhan placed one hand behind his back, and his aura suddenly intensified.
“Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Great Zhou, bearing the future of the Great Zhou on your shoulders. How can you take such a risk? If a zombie really does turn into a monster inside and injures Your Majesty, can you bear the responsibility? Open the door immediately.”
Yan Yunqing's expression darkened slightly.
Since it concerned the Empress Dowager's mourning period, those eunuchs and palace maids would never dare to speak nonsense.
Something must have happened in the mourning hall.
"Get out of the way!"
Mo Yunhan gave Yan Yunqing no time to hesitate. He raised his hand and flicked his sleeve, his powerful internal force sending the guards flying.
Even Yan Yunqing was thrown off balance and staggered a couple of steps.
