Even the magpie couldn't stop him.
With a loud bang, Wuhen kicked the door open and rushed inside.
Then……
Wuhen silently turned around, speechless with embarrassment: "That old hag, she... this..."
The scene was deathly silent for a moment.
After a while, the room finally became completely quiet.
Zhaoping's calm voice came from inside the room: "Sisters, please come in. She has recovered and I've tidied her up a bit so she won't offend your eyes."
The people in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief and silently went inside.
The Empress Dowager lay on the bed like a dead dog.
Zhaoping had indeed tidied her up, and there was nothing offensive about it.
Hearing the footsteps of the young female bandit and her entourage, the Empress Dowager turned her somewhat unfocused gaze, filled with endless hatred and shame, and weakly cursed, "You are so despicable and shameless, how dare you do such a vile thing to me, showing no respect for elders or rank! You will be punished!"
“In that case, I will return it all to you. This is your retribution for your past despicable and shameless acts.” Shang Xiye stood in front of the bed, looking down at the Empress Dowager with a cold gaze.
The Empress Dowager's sallow and gaunt face had an unnatural blush, making her look like rotten wood that had been reborn in spring, which was very strange.
"Even if you, Ninth Prince, are not my biological son, you still have to respectfully call me Mother. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for allowing these bandits to treat me like this?" The Empress Dowager's words carried a hint of wishful thinking.
She understood.
Even though the Ninth Prince disregarded blood ties, his filial piety towards the late Emperor was genuine.
If she has any chance of survival, it is only by working on the late emperor.
"The Empress Dowager probably doesn't know that I've been frequently struck by lightning for the past year or so. Now that I've been struck by lightning, I can't care about anything else," Shang Xiye said expressionlessly, and unusually, he made a lame joke.
Then, he said in a deep voice, "Besides, you are not my birth mother. If I heard you correctly that day, you yourself told your lackeys that my birth mother was someone you painstakingly plotted against, framed, and forced away. I am looking for you this time to avenge my birth mother and to fulfill my filial duty."
"On which day?" The Empress Dowager felt dizzy with despair, wondering when she, who was always so careful, had made another mistake: "You, you mustn't make false accusations and add more charges against me!"
"It's fine if you don't talk, anyway we didn't expect you to confess honestly today," Shang Xiye said coolly and casually. "The answers we want, Yao Yao will personally search through your mind. Yao Yao will see everything in your life, big and small, clearly from beginning to end."
Empress Dowager: "...?!"
Is there such a bizarre and evil magic in this world?
Can you read things out of other people's minds?
Are you guys kidding me?
If such an evil magic truly exists...
What's the point of prisons and torture?!
Just as the Empress Dowager was determined to remain silent, Ji Fengyao stepped forward, swinging her small hands, and said, "Xique, Bailu, you two hold this old hag back; she has committed many evils and harmed countless people in her life. I want her to taste the pain of being tormented but unable to resist. Only when she feels the pain firsthand will she learn her lesson and dare not do evil again in her next life."
Both the magpie and the white dew were disgusted and had no desire to touch the Empress Dowager, that shameless old hag.
Without prior arrangement, the two men took out a piece of brocade from their storage rings and covered the Empress Dowager with it before supporting and lifting her up.
