"Besides wanting to become an empress, I also want to learn from Wei Chengzhang and become an invincible female corpse king, then unify the world and achieve what Wei Chengzhang failed to achieve."
"After Wei Chengzhang became the Corpse King, he was afraid of being struck by heavenly tribulation and having his soul scattered, so he chose to be reborn. Didn't she know that?"
"A person who is so ambitious as to be crazy will not stop even if they know the truth."
"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you're desperate. Even if you want to be empress, it's because you're behind me. Does she have people like you by her side?"
"I have served as an advisor to a monarch, and you may even know me."
"I know him too?"
"Eunuch Song."
"...Emperor Xiaozhi's personal chief eunuch?" Mu Run was genuinely surprised. "He's still alive!"
"Yes. After Emperor Xiaozhi passed away, he went to guard the imperial mausoleum. After several ups and downs, he was lucky enough to survive. He also unexpectedly saved Wei Chengzhang's illegitimate daughter, Wei Wei. This Wei Wei was very good at scheming and saw that although Eunuch Song was old, he still had a heart for power."
"So she took advantage of this to get Eunuch Song to help her become empress?"
"During the period of the corpse plague, Eunuch Song captured some corpses, which is the root cause of the recent corpse chaos."
What are you planning to do?
“A servant cannot serve two masters. Let him go and serve his former master. Zhong Jiu will take care of this matter.”
"Does Zhong Jiu... know about Yao Yao's situation?" Mu Run suddenly thought of other things.
Fu Yunchen looked down at her and said, "I know."
Did he say anything?
"I want to make a name for myself."
"To perform meritorious service?"
"Yes, meritorious service can bring rewards and a marriage decree. He still can't let go of her in his heart."
"If we could let go of it, we wouldn't have made a prosthetic leg for Yaoyao every year. By the way, what about Yaoyao's in-laws? Have they been giving her any more trouble?"
"Now that you're backing her up, who would dare to mess with her?"
Mu Run nodded, "That's good. After all, I watched Yao Yao grow up. If I hadn't lost my mind back then, she would never have ended up in such a terrible marriage."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Looking at the composed Fu Yunchen, she said, "Why didn't you stop me back then?"
Fu Yunchen: "..."
If it's going to rain, and the girl is going to get married, why is he stopping her?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Run assumed that he didn't take it seriously at all, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Upon seeing this, Fu Yunchen immediately sensed something was wrong and said, "I've investigated. I sent someone to investigate Zhang Duo and informed Yao Yao's older sister, Qiao Yu. I haven't bothered with the rest."
"Investigate? What did you find out back then?"
“Zhang Duo was a very vengeful person when he was young. Because of a friend’s inappropriate joke, he drowned that friend and faked it as drowning after drinking.”
"What! Such a thing actually happened? Why didn't you arrest him immediately?" Mu Run exclaimed in astonishment.
Fu Yunchen said, "At that time, there was no conclusive evidence. Later, Qiaoyu got engaged to Yaoyao and Zhang Duo, so the investigation was temporarily suspended."
"We should continue to investigate him and punish him severely. It's a pity that Yaoyao fell into the hands of such an evil person and suffered so much. And Qiaoyu is also foolish. Knowing Zhang Duo's past misdeeds, she still pushed Yaoyao into the fire pit. She must have been out of her mind." Mu Run became angrier the more he thought about it. Since Qiaoyu became a big merchant, she had become less and less like a person.
Fu Yunchen gently patted her back, "Getting angry is bad for your health."
