Caught completely off guard, Chen Ziyun was startled when she saw the person next to her with a hideous, grotesque face, and screamed in terror.
"Ah—a ghost—!"
In shock.
Her body slammed into the table in front of her, knocking it over and spilling all the food and drinks all over the floor.
Meng Qi: "???"
Shang Dongyang: "???"
The palace maids and eunuchs: "???"
What's wrong with the Empress Dowager? Has she suddenly had an epileptic seizure?
"Master, you've driven her completely mad," the little bandit asked secretly, watching the farce unfold with great interest.
"It's just opening her third eye, letting her see clearly what kind of monsters and demons are around her, and letting her understand who she's conspiring with. Maybe she'll pull back from the brink and turn to good. Little Jiaojiao, don't you think your master is helping others?"
Mo Linxian spoke in a doting and coaxing tone, just like he always did when brainwashing his disciple.
I really believed your lies!
Haha, it's fun to help others.
The little bandit's lips twitched, and she thought to herself:
I wasn't led astray by this guy; it's all thanks to my own upright character and good morals, really!
However, Master's method of "helping others for pleasure" is indeed very gratifying.
Seeing that this perfectly good banquet was about to be ruined, Meng Qi couldn't help but feel angry. His deep voice carried a disrespect and pressure that a eunuch shouldn't have: "Empress Dowager, are you feeling unwell? Would you like this servant to help you to rest?"
Meng Qi's burning passion was directly manifested in his demonic soul.
In Chen Ziyun's eyes, the ghostly face in front of her was emitting black flames, and the terrifying flames were rolling towards her.
Terrified, she collapsed to the ground, screaming and backing away: "Ghost! Ghost! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
Chen Ziyun's expression was so obvious that anyone could see she was afraid of the "eunuch" who approached her.
Meng Qi realized this himself, and his face darkened. He whispered angrily in her ear, "Chen Ziyun, there's a limit to your nonsense! If you dare to ruin His Majesty's plans, don't blame me for killing you despite our years of marriage!"
Startled by Meng Qi's roar, Chen Ziyun snapped out of her daze.
She stared incredulously at the terrifying ghost face, and whispered tremblingly, "Long... Brother Long?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Qi stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from the ground. He continued angrily through telepathy, "Why are you acting crazy? You'd better have a good reason. Let's go!"
Chen Ziyun was held in his hand like a helpless little hen, trembling all over, her eyes glazed over.
His voice was indeed the one she knew.
But that terrifying face of his...
Seeing Chen Ziyun's extremely frightened appearance, Meng Qi knew that she might not recover for a while.
He didn't care what Shang Dongyang was thinking, and said rather disrespectfully, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager seems to be feeling unwell. This servant will take the Empress Dowager to the palace to rest first," before forcibly dragging Chen Ziyun away.
All the palace women were in an uproar:
Who exactly is this little eunuch? He's so powerful!
He actually dared to drag the Empress Dowager away right in front of the Emperor!
Even more bizarrely, although the emperor's expression was not good, he didn't utter a sound and just endured it!
"Let the banquet begin!" Shang Dongyang said coldly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot that had been burning for ten thousand years.
The little female bandit was someone who loved to watch the fun and clapped her hands, laughing loudly: "Indeed, a new emperor brings a new court. The new emperor has a new look. The palace servants are very capable now and can make decisions for their masters. I think the emperor and empress dowager will have to worry less."
