The flowing white robes, coupled with the terrifying makeup, would startle even an atheist, let alone someone from a feudal dynasty.
With the help of the system, Hailanzhu quietly entered Yanzha Qiurong's palace without alerting anyone.
At this moment, Yan Zha Qiurong, having eaten poisonous mushrooms, was unable to fall asleep and was in a daze, seeing everything as double images.
Hailanzhu suddenly flung open the door, and under the bright moonlight, her blood-covered face was particularly frightening.
"Quickly..." Yan Zhaqiurong thought it was a palace maid coming and was about to ask her to call the imperial physician, but unexpectedly the person who came was a person bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Who...are you?" she asked, pointing at the person in front of her.
"Hahaha!" A low, hoarse laugh echoed in the air as Hailanzhu spoke in a low voice, "Yan Zha Qiurong, do you really not know who I am?"
Yan Zhaqiu shook her head weakly, feeling so weak that she could barely stand up.
"You've already forgotten? Didn't you still have those stinky Taoist priests perform a ritual for me today?" Hailanzhu walked with ghostly steps, floating around the room.
Yan Zha Qiurong stared blankly, and at that moment, she heard a series of ghostly wails and howls in her ears, as if many people were imprisoned underground, their tendons and skins were being pulled out, their bones crushed and their ashes scattered. The extremely shrill screams were particularly loud in the night, making Yan Zha Qiurong's hair stand on end.
These were all auditory hallucinations caused by her eating poisonous mushrooms; in reality, the room was eerily quiet except for the two of them breathing.
"Are you Yan Zha Qiuyi?" Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Finally remembered who I am?" Hailanzhu's voice still echoed in the empty room.
"What do you want to do? Didn't I have someone perform a ritual to help you pass on to the afterlife?" Yan Zha Qiu Rong tried to get up to see if the person in front of her was a human or a ghost, but she couldn't muster the strength.
"What do I want to do?" Hailanzhu said with a sinister smile, "I want to destroy everything you have, destroy everything you care about!"
Yan Zha Qiu Rong looked at her, "No, we both have Yan Zha's blood in our veins, you can't do this to me."
I have never seen such a shameless person. She can kill others, but she will not allow others to hurt her.
Hailanzhu couldn't help but sneer. She wanted to step forward and punch Yan Zhaqiurong a couple of times, but she heard faint footsteps and Wen Yuan's voice trying to stop her.
So she suppressed her disgust and said slowly, "What, now you remember that we are of the same blood? How could you not think about pushing me off the cliff back then?"
At this moment, Yan Zhaqiurong suddenly burst into laughter as if she had gone mad, "Yes, you're a ghost too, why would I be afraid of you?"
"You're not afraid of me? Then what about your Yebushu?" Hailanzhu's words were like a bombshell, shattering Yan Zhaqiurong's spirit.
"I am the one who did the deed, and I am the one who killed you. What does it have to do with Yebushu?" Yan Zhaqiu said, completely unaware that the window was crowded with people.
"Haha!" Hailanzhu laughed again. "You already know I'm a ghost, so why bother following the rules of the human world? Since you're not afraid of me, I'll stay by Yebushu's side day and night and sleep with him. Do you think he'll be scared to death or driven mad by me?"
"Yan Zha Qiuyi, you will die a horrible death!" Yan Zha Qiurong cursed loudly.
If she hadn't eaten the poisonous mushrooms, Hailanzhu's tricks probably wouldn't have fooled her.
"You were destined to die a horrible death, didn't you know that?"
These words immediately rendered Yan Zha Qiurong speechless.
After saying this, Hailanzhu was about to float outside. Yan Zhaqiurong thought she was going to find Yebushu, so she immediately pleaded, "Don't hurt him. It's all my fault. Kill me or do whatever you want."
"Are you scared? Then why did you do it in the first place?" Hailanzhu's voice was choked with sobs.
"It's all your fault! Why are you prettier and more outstanding than me? You've prevented me from marrying the Emperor!" Yan Zhaqiurong had lost all reason.
"If you want to marry the Emperor, just tell me. Why are you treating me so cruelly? Even after I die, you're ruining my reputation," Hailanzhu said, her bloodied mouth opening and closing.
“Look at you, even as a ghost, you’re still so naive. Do you really think you can just replace someone like that? Back then, I knelt in the rain all night and still couldn’t get the clan leader’s permission, so I had no choice but to kill you.” The hatred in Yan Zha Qiu Rong’s eyes seemed to want to tear the ’ghost’ in front of her to shreds. After saying that, she rolled off the bed.
"Kill me if you want! I know I'm sorry, but I have no regrets," she said, lying on the ground.
"No regrets?" Hailanzhu floated slowly in front of her. "You'll regret what you just said in a moment."
"What do you mean?"
Hailanzhu remained silent, but instead pinched Yanzha Qiurong's cheek hard with her warm hand and dug her face with her sharp nails.
Feeling the warmth of her body, Yan Zha Qiu Rong realized, "You're not Yan Zha Qiu Yi? Then who are you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Hailanzhu withdrew her hand and pointed to the people outside the window, saying, "Look, they all heard what you said."
"This is a trap!" Yan Zhaqiu realized, but it was too late.
"Just wait and see what happens to you!"
After speaking, Hailanzhu asked the system to make her invisible, and then quietly left.
After the people outside called the guards in, Yan Zhaqiurong was left alone in the entire palace.
"Yan Zha Qiurong, you will stop at nothing to achieve your goals, you even dared to kill your cousin. Guards, tie up this wicked woman and the lowly maid who blocked my way, and let them await their fate."
The one who gave this order was Zhe Zhe, and the person standing next to her was Dayuer.
It was all Hailanzhu's arrangement; she had Dayuer trick Zhe Zhe into coming to Chengxi Palace.
Only if Zhe Zhe hears it with her own ears can Yan Zha Qiu Rong's crime be confirmed.
The toxins from poisonous mushrooms don't stay in a person's body for long, which gave Yan Zhaqiu Rong the strength she needed, but she's now bound hand and foot and can't move.
She looked at the people in front of her and vaguely guessed what was going on. "Why are there only the two of you? Where is Hailanzhu?"
Da Yu'er replied, "My sister is not feeling well, and besides, she is so weak. If she heard you doing these things, wouldn't she be terrified?"
"She's weak?" Yan Zhaqiu couldn't help but sneer. "If I'm not mistaken, this is a trap she set up while pretending to be a ghost!"
Da Yu'er ignored her and simply said, "The Emperor is coming soon. You should think about whether to choose white silk or arsenic."
"Don't be too happy yet, things are still uncertain!" Yan Zhaqiu glared fiercely at Da Yu'er.
In truth, she had no confidence and was only putting on a brave front. However, she believed that Huang Taiji would not harm her life for the sake of the Yanzha clan.
But what she didn't know was that Hailanzhu would also think of what she could think of, and how could she let it go so easily?
