Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 45 Song Yi is tied up and made into noodles
The Empress Dowager glanced at Consort Su, then at Song Yi.

The two people's faces are almost identical.

Only after Song Yi disappeared did the Empress Dowager find a folk noodle maker to come to the palace. Based on her description and portrait, she made this exceptionally exquisite noodle.

After Su Meiren put it on, the Empress Dowager thought it already looked very similar.

But now, with the real Song Yi right beside her, she realized the difference between the two of them.

Consort Su stood up and asked, "Empress Dowager, what should we do now?"

She glanced at the rope on the table, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Or we can strangle her right now."

Once she is strangled to death, the real Consort Yun will be dead, and then she will be the only Consort Yun in the world.

Upon hearing her words, Song Yi struggled to her feet and shouted:
"Help—Someone help!"

Startled, Su Meiren quickly pushed her down again.

Song Yi fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her face covered in dust.

"Where is His Majesty? If you kill me, His Majesty will kill you without hesitation!"

Consort Su scoffed, "Do you really think His Majesty cares about you that much? You've been missing for almost a night. If His Majesty cared about you, he would have sent someone to Yingchun Palace to check on you long ago."

"Who told you not to tell him that you are Consort Yun?"

“Even now, His Majesty still thinks you are a fake. A fake is gone and gone, but now His Majesty has me by his side.”

"So what if I kill you right now?"

Consort Su looked at her face with considerable jealousy and said, "As long as I have this face, His Majesty will not be able to bear to touch me."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her indifferently and said coldly, "Who told you not to be careful? She actually found out that you were wearing a mask."

Song Yi quickly replied, "I can leave on my own. I will leave Your Majesty. I will leave here forever, just like I did three years ago. Your Majesty will never be able to find me."

She can't die here.

She still wants to go back.

The Empress Dowager looked at her suspiciously: "Why should I believe you?"

Song Yi gritted her teeth and said, "I had already decided to leave before you tied me up and brought me here."

Consort Su interrupted her impatiently, saying, "Empress Dowager, we can't trust her. Let's just strangle her with that rope now and be done with it!"

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, her gaze remaining fixed on Song Yi's face.

She suddenly said softly, "Lady Su, let me ask you, don't you want to have a more exquisite face, more like hers?"

Consort Su was taken aback, glanced at Song Yi, and asked, "Does the Empress Dowager want that person to come again and make another copy for her?"

The Empress Dowager smiled but remained silent.

No dough can be more lifelike than one made by copying the real person.

When she actually succeeds, she can give the mask to someone else, someone who is more obedient, more sensible, and smarter.

That Su woman is so stupid.

What use is she if she can't get into the emperor's bed?

After careful consideration, Consort Su thought it was feasible and smiled, "When the time comes, if I wear an even better mask, His Majesty will surely fall in love with me."

The Empress Dowager gave her a deep look and thought she was utterly foolish.

She said slowly, "That's exactly what I planned. Besides, she's locked up here by us now, and nobody can find her. His Majesty would never disregard my dignity and force his way here."

"Summon that person to the palace tomorrow, have him do it on her face, and then kill her."

"Yes!"

Song Yi looked at the two women in despair, listening to how her life was being treated as worthless as grass in their mouths.

Then, Su Meiren picked up the veil from the ground and used it to gag her.

The Empress Dowager chuckled and said, "I'm warning you, everyone outside is from my side. If you're not afraid of death, then feel free to cause trouble inside."

"As long as you behave, I might let you go if I'm in a good mood after I finish making the noodles tomorrow. Didn't you say you were planning to leave anyway?"

"That's fine. Since you can't bear His Majesty an heir and will only disturb His Majesty's mind, you might as well leave sooner rather than later."

After saying that, she led Su Meiren out. The door was closed tightly again, and the sound of the lock clicking shut could be heard from outside.

Song Yi was extremely agitated, but no matter what she did, she couldn't break free of the ropes.

She is now truly in a dilemma.

If the Empress Dowager discovers his true identity, she will definitely kill him.

If Jiang Lanye finds out...
Recalling his words "crush to ashes," Song Yi felt even more desperate.

She was bound tightly, and even with extraordinary abilities, she couldn't leave the room.

Therefore, she chose to conserve her energy.

I haven't eaten anything tonight, and not only will I not be able to escape after a whole night of running around, but I'll also lose all my strength for nothing.

Perhaps the effects of the drug hadn't worn off yet, Song Yi felt dizzy and fell asleep leaning against the corner of the wall.

The next day, just as dawn broke.

The sound of a lock being opened came from outside the door.

The light pierced through.

Song Yi frowned and struggled to open her eyes, feeling a splitting headache.

An elderly man with a hunched back followed the Empress Dowager in.

The Empress Dowager pointed to Song Yi and said, "It's her."

The old man's eyes, like those of a venomous snake, swept over Song Yi's face inch by inch.

Song Yi felt uncomfortable and turned her face away.

The Empress Dowager gave a brief laugh, then gestured for two eunuchs to come in.

They roughly dragged Song Yi away, ignoring the fact that her feet were still bound, and threw her directly onto the wooden table, making her lie on it.

Song Yi was thrown around and saw stars. Then they picked up two ropes from the table and tied her upper and lower body to the table respectively.

This was to keep her lying on the table and not allow her to move around.

Looking at her defiant gaze, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Was it this very gaze that captivated His Majesty three years ago?"

The old man slowly walked over.

He was carrying a large box, which he opened and took out many strange things.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager urged, "The person is right here, she can't escape. Try to be as quick as possible. Once you're done, I'll just kill her. The longer it drags on, the more likely it is to be discovered. Do you understand?"

The old man's voice was also hoarse as he whispered, "Making dough can't be rushed."

The Empress Dowager knew this was a delicate task, but she was afraid Jiang Lanye would come looking for it.

"In short, try to be as fast as possible. If His Majesty finds out, I won't be able to protect you."

The old man was under a lot of pressure and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager instructed again, "You all keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't get away."

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager went out.

Song Yi lay on the table, her mouth still bound with the veil.

Seeing this, the old man hesitated for a moment.

With the cloth obscuring his face, he could hardly see the details of Song Yi's face.

"Untie the cloth."

he ordered.

Song Yi's mouth was almost numb. Finally free of restraint, she watched as the old man took out a small curved knife from the box.

Great news! The paid PK1 is over! Thank you all for your support! Love you all!
