Chapter 1975: Chapter 1913: Escape by Death

In February, Empress Dowager Mo also went to another palace, Wufu personally escorted Prince Dong there and stayed for a few days. She also met Emperor Yan.

Whether it was an illusion or not, the frail Emperor Yan seemed like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, like an ordinary sickly gentleman, giving off a sense of gentleness.

Was it because he knew his time was short, so he let go of his malice?

Wufu was unaware of the Emperor’s inner workings, only knowing that Empress Dowager Mo would visit Emperor Yan at a fixed time every day with a scripture to read aloud.

That feeling was indescribable, but in any case, Wufu felt uneasy watching, sensing a great oppression, and quickly left with Prince Dong.

Since Prince Dong was now the Crown Prince, he should reside in the Eastern Palace, receive enlightenment, learn, and be taught by various tutors.

And since Ah Jiu was busy governing affairs, he seldom returned home. Wufu simply stayed in the Eastern Palace, saving Ah Jiu the trouble of running back and forth, making it difficult for the couple to even meet.

In the Cold Palace, Empress Song resembled a bird startled by a bow, nervously facing the hideous eunuch before her.

Since entering the Cold Palace, the suffering she endured was incomparable to all her past years combined: assassination attempts, poisonings, beatings by lunatics—various torments had already pushed her to the brink of collapse.

It’s too terrifying, this place is too terrifying!

Especially after seeing Lu Shenxing’s head, she couldn’t sleep at night, dreaming of his headless body every time she closed her eyes.

Tyrant, that tyrant, he’s so ruthless!

"Hasn’t the Empress made up her mind yet?" The old eunuch frowned at the woman in the corner, his hideous face showing some impatience, saying, "The Emperor and Empress Dowager Mo have also relocated to another palace for recuperation. Do you realize you have become a discarded piece? Not killing you means allowing you to perish here, what are you still plotting?"

Empress Song clutched her stomach.

"The Crown Prince is already established in the palace, and that piece of flesh is hopeless!" The old eunuch glanced at her abdomen and said.

If not for him, that piece of flesh in her belly would have been dead long ago!

"Leaving now still gives you a glimmer of hope, but if delayed, I won’t be able to protect you!" The old eunuch said, "Don’t forget, Consort Lan and Consort Xian hate and poison you!"

"You said the Emperor and Empress Dowager went to another palace?" Empress Song’s face twisted slightly.

The old eunuch nodded.

"Are you Brother Xing’s man?" Empress Song spread her palm, revealing the token Lu Shenxing previously gave her.

"The Empress should decide quickly! The remaining people can still secure a life path for you and your child." As long as you don’t stir up trouble.

"Fine, I’ll go with you!" Empress Song stood up, her eyes showing a hint of madness.

They’re all dead, Brother Xing is dead, Qinger is dead, she has reached this state, yet they still live.

She couldn’t wait here to die, absolutely not.

Seeing her agree, the old eunuch said, "Then Empress should wait for me in the northwest corner of the Cold Palace. I need to prepare first."

Empress Song followed his words and went to the northwest corner of the Cold Palace to wait. Shortly after, she saw a palace in the Cold Palace catch fire, and the old eunuch quickly came over, opened a disused well, and after touching the wall, heard a sound, extending his hand to Empress Song.

Empress Song glanced outside the palace walls, bit her lip, and handed over her hand.

The fire grew bigger, emitting thick smoke.

Someone shouted, "Fire!"

Wufu was teaching Prince Dong horse stance and saw thick smoke rising nearby, furrowed his brow and wondered, how could there be a fire in this weather?

In an instant, someone reported that it was the Cold Palace on fire, and Empress Song had burned to death, leaving no trace of Empress Song in the world.
