Chapter 617 revealed a face radiating resentment.
At this moment, Xiao Tang's chair made a creaking sound.
She shifted her position, causing the chair to creak.
Her movements attracted the attention of the female disciples in the prison.
Gu Hanxin also subconsciously looked at her, wondering what her action meant.
Xiao Tang calmly replied, "You continue, don't mind me."
Gu Hanxin's thin lips twitched slightly, a hint of frustration in his voice.
He really couldn't understand what the Empress meant.
The woman in the cell laughed loudly: "Senior Brother, you don't need to listen to this woman at all. You are the one in charge of the entire Divine Calculation Mountain. Why should you listen to her?"
Gu Hanxin glared at her coldly, "You're talking nonsense. The Empress is the sect leader."
"Even if I die, I won't tell you who taught me how to gather vengeful spirits and resentment, hehe."
The female disciple remained unmoved in the face of their questions.
The redder her eyes became, the more smug she smiled.
Gu Hanxin pursed her lips, raised her hand, and waved it.
The force of the palm strike, generated by the flick of the sleeve, hit the woman in the cell, causing her to fall to the ground.
Yan Shi also said to Xiao Tang, "Your Majesty?"
"Alas, I am tired. Well then, I shall go back and rest."
Xiao Tang stood up.
The female disciple, who had fallen to the ground in the cell, angrily lunged at the iron bars, shouting, "You wait! Even if I die, someone else will come after you!"
Yan Shi frowned.
He really couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing about this.
It wasn't until Xiao Tang coldly spoke up, "It's alright, I'll wait for you to send someone to take my life."
She waited and saw.
The woman in the iron cage bared her teeth, furious.
Gu Hanxin remained silent.
Stepping out of the dark cell, Yan Shi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Your Majesty, I will take care of her tonight!"
"No need. Before she tells the truth, how could the person behind her possibly kill her? She's such a good tool."
Yan Shi was stunned.
"Does this mean that person will protect her?"
This strange, incoherent woman, she has to stay.
Xiao Tang hummed in agreement.
The night was quiet.
Compared to the bustling Shensuan Mountain, the imperial palace was completely silent at this moment.
Di Jingling only left after watching the three little ones fall asleep.
Just as he was leaving, he received a message from Yan Shi sent by carrier pigeon.
Upon reading Yan Shi's report, the man's already sharp eyebrows furrowed deeply.
He stared intently at the words above.
Yan Shi's words made it impossible for him to wait any longer.
"Father, shall we go up the mountain?"
Suddenly, a child's voice came from beside my feet, tentatively, curiously, and cautiously asking him.
It has to be said that he was taken aback.
Lower your head, and there's Erbao.
He seemed to have his eyes closed, as if he were sleepwalking?
While still harboring doubts, Di Jingling squatted down in front of the child.
He reached out and waved his hand in front of the little guy's eyes.
No response.
"Erbao?"
"Oh, Mother, don't hit me, I'll come up the mountain to find you right now."
The child's sleep-talking confirmed to Di Jingling that the child was indeed sleepwalking.
He picked up the baby, put him back on the bed, and locked the door as he left, all in one swift motion.
The palace servants watched from the sidelines, all of them astonished.
Perhaps their emperor truly only shows tenderness and pampering to the empress, and cannot treat even his own son with tenderness.
The first thing Emperor Jingling did upon returning to his palace was to order Liu Wufu to pack his luggage.
Liu Wufu asked curiously, "Your Majesty, where are you... going?"
"Let's go up the mountain." He couldn't wait a moment longer!
Eunuch Liu was not surprised.
It would be strange if His Majesty could endure going up the mountain after all these days.
...
Xiao Tang was half asleep in the middle of the night when a few tears suddenly fell on her face.
She was startled awake.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a face filled with resentment.
But he's already a dead soul!
She's the one who was just in the dark dungeon!
Xiao Tang was quite surprised to see her.
Dead?
Died so quickly!
The departed souls floated in the air, weeping mournfully.
"Why didn't you kill me?" she asked Xiao Tang with resentment.
Xiao Tang: "Uh..."
Good heavens, this is something I've never seen before.
Xiao Tang was inwardly speechless, exclaiming "Good heavens!"
How could any woman want to die? And if she wanted to die, why did she have to do it herself? What kind of obsession does she have with him/her?
"If you kill me, I won't be controlled by her anymore, do you understand?" The ghost's expression became more ferocious, and it tried to pounce down and strangle her.
Xiao Tang dodged the attack from the ghost by sidestepping.
"Since you don't want to be controlled by her, you should expose her, and I can arrange for her to be released from suffering. What do you think?"
The wandering soul's body suddenly stopped.
Xiao Tang jolted awake and sat up.
"Big sister, let's talk things out. Tell me who it is, and I will definitely keep my promise."
The ghost paused for a moment, then asked, "She, the new female disciple, is named Li Manxiu. Can you really get rid of her?"
Xiao Tang crossed her arms. "Of course, now that you've confessed, I'll help you."
The spirits of the dead have stopped.
"Alright, I'll wait for you here until you get rid of her. I'll keep an eye on you."
"Sure, keep an eye on it."
Anyway, she's not someone who's afraid of ghosts.
Xiao Tang sat cross-legged to the side and began preparing the props.
Now that we have a goal...
Of course we should take action!
She opened the door and called Yan Shi.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Yan Shi looked at Xiao Tang in surprise, never expecting that Xiao Tang was still awake so late.
