Evil of all ages

Chapter 274 Chaos

Chapter 274 Chaos
"Take the Empress Dowager inside to change her clothes."

Fan Hongyan bowed to Xu Yunxue but did not directly answer her question.

Two female Imperial Guards from the group led Xu Yunxue into the room to change clothes.

Xu Yunxue frowned, wondering what Fan Hongyan was up to.

She did not resist.

Firstly, once she takes the Huagong San (a traditional Chinese medicine), she becomes just like an ordinary person, and struggling is meaningless.

Secondly, Fan Hongyan's strange behavior made her curious about what she would encounter next.

In a short while, with the help of two female Imperial Guards, she changed her clothes and came out.

"Who is your master?"

"Who wants to save Ben?"

Xu Yunxue saw that she was not only dressed as a member of the Imperial Guard, but also had a human skin mask on her, which made her realize that Fan Hongyan had other identities.

She mistakenly believed that someone was going to rescue her.

Fan Hongyan shook his head slightly without answering. Instead, he gave the antidote for the Dissolving Power Powder to Xu Yunxue and told her to follow the group.

Xu Yunxue looked at the antidote in her hand, then glanced at Fan Hongyan, and swallowed it.

Then she saw that Fan Hongyan had not only prepared the prison van, but also her double.

She followed the procession to escort her double out of the palace.

"She's...she's out. It really is her. She's a wicked empress who brought ruin to the country."

"Kill her! Kill that wicked empress!"

"It's all her fault. She caused one natural disaster and man-made calamity after another. She is the biggest scourge in our Da'an."

"..."

The crowds lining both sides of the street were filled with intense emotions upon seeing the "demon queen" in the prison cart, and they cursed incessantly.

He threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at the Empress.

As Xu Yunxue followed behind the group, she saw countless people venting their anger on her double, which filled her with complex emotions.

Having held power for three years, she dared not slack off for even a day. In order to ensure peace and prosperity for the country, she would review memorials until late at night before going to sleep.

There are indeed people who have benefited from her policies that are beneficial to the country and its people, but due to prejudice, they all regard it as a blessing from God.

She tried her best.

She has a clear conscience!
But seeing this scene now, she knows she has been defeated by reality.

Because she is a woman, no matter how hard she tries, no one sees it or cares about it.

Feeling heartbroken, she suddenly realized that all her previous pursuits were laughable.

If she had the chance to start over, she would like to try a simple, ordinary life.

This gave her eyes a new sparkle. Now that her strength had fully recovered, she could slip into the crowd and escape.

But if Fan Hongyan dared to give her the antidote for the Dissolving Power Powder, he wouldn't be afraid of her escaping, and she also had a feeling that told her something.

If she had run away, her life would have been filled with another regret.

She held back.
She wanted to see who Fan Hongyan's master was.

Until the group arrived at the Southern City Prison
Xu Yunxue was stunned. She had considered that Fan Hongyan would take her double to the execution ground and behead her in front of the entire city.

She had considered that Fan Hongyan would take her stand-in to the Dali Temple.

As for the South City Prison, she had thought about it, but subconsciously suppressed the idea.

Now that she was standing at the entrance of the city's southern prison, she seemed to understand everything.

Fan Hongyan is a man of the Ghost King.

The person who bullied her for the past three years was the Ghost King.

Arranging a substitute for her was to prevent the entire city from throwing rotten eggs and vegetables at her.

"The Ghost King is giving you a choice."

"One option is to enter the Heavenly Prison and become the Ghost King's collection."

"Secondly, I will leave here and live out my life in anonymity."

Because of the legend of the Ghost King, the people who were afraid of being cursed all stayed far away and dared not approach the Heavenly Prison even a little bit.

Although the people dared not approach, Fan Hongyan still spoke to Xu Yunxue through telepathy.

"Hehehe..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxue couldn't help but sneer.

She knew better than anyone how domineering the Ghost King was.

The Ghost King's choice for her was a lie; he would never let her leave.

Even if she chooses the latter and leaves to live in anonymity for the rest of her life, she will not escape the clutches of the Ghost King.

Seeing that Xu Yunxue did not answer, Fan Hongyan knew that she had made her choice, so he led his men to escort the substitute into the prison.

Xu Yunxue sighed and followed the group into the prison.

Enter the Heavenly Prison
Fan Hongyan ignored her and handed her over to the jailer.

The jailer led the way, with Xu Yunxue following behind. Seeing that the other prisoners lay listlessly and weakly in their cells, except for her, who appeared perfectly fine, she knew she was special.

She asked the jailer who was leading the way many questions, but the jailer did not answer and only treated her with utmost respect.

As she went deeper, she saw her second brother and her eldest brother, who had already woken up.

The two elder brothers were held in solitary confinement and received no special care. Like the other prisoners, they lay there sickly and listless.

"Eldest brother, second brother..."

Xu Yunxue couldn't help but lean closer, calling out to her eldest and second brothers.

When Xu Yushu and Xu Ming heard their sister's voice, they were also excited, but they were so weak that they didn't even have the strength to speak.

At that moment, the jailer opened the door to the empty cell next door.

This indicates that this is Xu Yunxue's cell.

"Come out, you come out here right now."

"I know you've been watching all along. What, you've bullied me for three years, but now you don't dare to come out and see me?"

When Xu Yunxue saw that the jailer wasn't taking her to see the Ghost King, she couldn't help but shout to the surroundings.

"Lord Ghost King has not yet returned from his outing."

The jailer said, head bowed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxue's cold gaze shifted to the guard, trying to determine whether he was telling the truth or lying.

"The Ghost King is really not here; he went out fishing."

The jailer spoke under pressure.

fishing?

When Xu Yunxue heard that the Ghost King liked fishing, the pretty girl tensed up.

"When does he come back?"

Xu Yunxue asked.

It should be soon.

"That's what the jailer replied."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxue stopped making things difficult for the jailer. Even if the Ghost King wanted to avoid her, he could hide from the monk, but not from the temple.

So she went into the cell.

The jailer simply closed the cell door; he didn't lock it.

I do not know how long it has been
"tread"

"tread"

Huang Taichu returned from fishing and deliberately made his footsteps as he approached Xu Yunxue's cell.

Hearing footsteps, Xu Yunxue, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes and looked over.

She appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly uneasy, because since the jailer left, no one had dared to approach the place.

Footsteps are approaching; it must be either the son of the Ghost King or the Ghost King himself.

If he is the son of the Ghost King, that's fine.

If it were the Ghost King, despite her clamor to see him, she truly wouldn't know how to face him if she actually did.

The Ghost King was interested in her before because she was the high and mighty Empress Dowager.

Now that she's no longer the Empress Dowager, she's gone from a phoenix to a drowned rat. The change in her status inevitably makes her overthink things.

Huang Taichu stopped five meters away from the cell.

Xu Yunxue could see Huang Taichu's face clearly now.

At such a young age, Xu Yunxue knew that the other party must be the son of the Ghost King.

Upon seeing the other person's eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and then her innate true energy surged forth.

How could she possibly forget those eyes?

It turns out that the person who defiled her was not the Ghost King, but his son.

"boom"

The entire cell was shattered by the burst of true energy emanating from her body.

She slapped Huang Taichu with her palm.

"bump"

Huang Taichu did not resist, letting Xu Yunxue slap him on the left chest.

"Why not hide?"
