Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

But in this life, she was not born yet, and her mother miscarried.

Under normal circumstances, it's just being reborn as a human.

However, there is a special altar here to suppress the evil spirits of all the unborn children who died tragically, and the souls of all of them are refined.

This formation couldn't harm Tang Yu, but it did trap her in the harem.

"I see, that's where the problem lies!"

It was almost dawn, and Fukuko, unable to move around during the day, could only retreat back into the shadows to sleep.

Tang Yu was not subject to such restrictions; she began searching for the altar within the harem used to suppress and refine souls.

On that very day, Tang Yu discovered an unlucky candidate for the imperial concubine examination.

All the selected young ladies-in-waiting have entered the palace, and today they all went to pay their respects to the Empress.

As a result, after the greetings were over, a frivolous young lady named Xia Dongchun started picking fights with Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang.

Consort Hua directly punished Xia Dongchun with the "one-zhang-red" punishment, which involved striking her from the waist down with a wooden board until her bones were broken and her flesh was mangled.

This cruel punishment crippled Xia Dongchun.

"Xia Dongchun, even after you wake up, you'll only be banished to the cold palace and left crippled. Everyone will bully you, and your life won't be easy!"

Tang Yu made Xia Dongchun's soul leave his body and appear in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Dongchun trembled.

She was originally a very arrogant person, but what happened today completely terrified her.

She never imagined that the imperial harem could be so terrifying!

And now that I've seen a ghost, it's even more terrifying.

"If you're willing to make a deal with me, lend me your body for a month."

"I will have healed all your wounds in a month!"

"Can you help me get revenge?" Xia Dongchun mustered up her courage and asked.

"If you're talking about Consort Hua, she's going to have a really tough time. Someone will avenge you!"

These words instantly made Xia Dongchun laugh excitedly!

"Fine, I'm already crippled anyway. You can use me if you want, as long as you let me see my enemy die!"

After making the deal with Xia Dongchun, Tang Yu directly took over the other's body.

It's true that it's easier to do things if you have a physical body.

Next, Tang Yu began searching for formations throughout the inner palace.

After sensing a powerful evil force, Tang Yu quickly arrived at a palace, which turned out to be the Shou Kang Palace!

According to the information she has gathered in the past few days, this is the palace where the Empress Dowager, the mother of Emperor Yongzheng, lived. How could the altar be here?

Upon arriving at the Empress Dowager's Buddhist hall, Tang Yu finally noticed something amiss.

Incense smoke curled up inside the Buddhist hall, but the Buddha statue, which usually had a kind and benevolent expression, now exuded an indescribable eeriness.

Tang Yu was filled with doubt and vigilance. She slowly approached a tall Buddha statue and found a barely noticeable crack at the base of the statue.

Driven by curiosity, she pushed the Buddha statue with force, and with a dull thud, a hidden compartment slowly appeared behind the statue.

Within the hidden compartment, an altar emitting a dark, eerie light was revealed.

The altar was covered with strangely shaped runes, which seemed to be alive, twisting and writhing in the darkness.

Inside the altar were small, imprisoned dolls, their faces etched with expressions of pain.

The presence of this altar caused the temperature in the entire Buddhist hall to plummet, becoming bone-chillingly cold.

It not only suppresses the souls of all the infants who died tragically, but also uses a strange refining technique to transform the power of these wronged souls into its own, thereby preventing them from seeking revenge.

Each rune was like a greedy mouth, sucking away the life force of the infant's soul, causing them to struggle in endless pain, unable to be reborn.

Tang Yu was shocked.

Did Emperor Yongzheng have a grudge against his mother?

The fact that the Empress Dowager set up this kind of formation in the Buddhist hall clearly shows that she knew how many infants in the palace had died tragically.

Those innocent little lives, who should have been embarking on a new journey in the world, were instead trapped in an endless abyss of suffering by this vicious altar.

"This kind of evil power should not exist at all!"

Tang Yu's aura suddenly surged, and a powerful force erupted from her body.

She suddenly raised her hand, a dazzling light gathering in her palm, and blasted it towards the altar without hesitation.

With a deafening roar, a burst of light, like a miniature sun, erupted, instantly enveloping the altar.

The twisted and writhing runes on the altar emitted sharp cries under the impact of the light, and then shattered one by one.

The entire Buddhist hall shook violently under the impact of this powerful force, bricks and stones on the walls crumbled away, and the Buddha statue collapsed with a crash amidst the trembling.

Tang Yu's power did not stop there. The light continued to spread, directly shattering the Buddhist hall into pieces. Broken wood and bricks flew everywhere, and the entire Shou Kang Palace shook violently.

Before the dust had settled, Tang Yu flashed to the Empress Dowager's side, grabbed her like a chick, and kicked her in the back, sending her crashing into the ruins of the Buddhist hall, forcing her to kneel amidst the chaos.

"Did you build this altar?"

The Empress Dowager knelt on the ground in a disheveled state, her hair in disarray, but her face still held an air of supreme authority as she angrily rebuked Tang Yu.

"You lowly servant, how dare you question me? What are you? You're nothing but a damned ant, daring to defy your superior!"

This reminded Tang Yu of the time long ago when he went on a killing spree.

When she killed this group of people, they looked resentful and cursing, unable to believe that their servants would dare to resist.

She had indeed wasted too much time, and the more she went through, the more soft-hearted she became.

With his longsword raised, Tang Yu pierced the Empress Dowager's chest.

Then, she threw the Empress Dowager's body in front of Longkodo's house.

Since the altar was donated by Longkodo, then Longkodo should die.

[In The Legend of Zhen Huan, the Empress Dowager always knew what Yixiu was doing, so I think she wasn't a good person. She probably had very dark thoughts while she was praying to Buddha every day.]

Chapter 4 The Legend of Zhen Huan

The tremors at Shou Kang Palace alarmed everyone, but by the time the guards rushed in, the Empress Dowager had already vanished.

The Buddhist hall, shattered into pieces, can now only be seen as some remaining ruins; no one knows what happened to Shou Kang Palace.

That morning, the newly arrived palace ladies had just paid their respects to the Empress, and Consort Hua had just finished dealing with Xia Dongchun.

At the same time, Fukuko's body was also discovered.

Apart from Zhen Huan being so frightened that she wanted to avoid the Emperor's favor, the other concubines in the harem were all speculating about whose concubine the Emperor would choose tonight.

The entire harem was originally focused on the newly selected concubines.

However, the Empress Dowager's disappearance shook the entire palace!

Emperor Yongzheng was especially furious when he learned of this.

He hurried toward Shou Kang Palace, where he happened to meet Empress Yixiu in front of the palace.

Seeing a group of eunuchs and guards kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, Yongzheng glared angrily and began to curse.

"What are you bunch of lackeys doing? Where are the eunuchs and maids around the Empress Dowager? Where have they all gone?"

The captain of the guards trembled with fear, knelt on the ground with a thud, and replied in a trembling voice,

"Your Majesty, all the eunuchs and maids in Shou Kang Palace have fainted and have not been able to wake up yet. The imperial physicians have also been unable to find the cause!"

Empress Yixiu, who was standing to the side, was shocked and stared wide-eyed upon hearing this.

"Why can't he wake up? What exactly happened?"

The guard commander, who was kneeling on the ground to reply, was flustered and hurriedly said...

"After hearing the unusual vibrations coming from Shou Kang Palace, the servants hurriedly led the guards to check, only to find that all the eunuchs and maids serving them had fainted on the ground, as if they were possessed."

The Buddhist hall, in particular, was shattered and torn to pieces; it looked especially terrifying…

This answer instantly enraged Yongzheng, who kicked him and roared, "What possession?! In broad daylight, how could there be any evil spirits in the palace? What nonsense are you spouting?"

After uttering a few angry words, Yongzheng hurriedly walked towards the Shou Kang Palace, with Empress Yixiu following closely behind.

When the emperor and empress entered Shou Kang Palace, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Inside the Shou Kang Palace, eunuchs and palace maids lay sprawled on the ground in an eerie manner, while the shattered Buddhist hall exuded an indescribable eerie atmosphere.

Especially that Buddha statue, after it was broken, it vaguely revealed the appearance of an evil demon!

Yi Xiu suddenly took a step back, her face filled with terror.

She was quite frightened by the sight, as she suddenly felt a chilling aura enveloping her.

Although she clearly saw a Buddha statue, she seemed to see the grotesque faces of countless tragically deceased infants, constantly flickering before her eyes.

Several imperial physicians knelt on the ground, trembling, and reported to Emperor Yongzheng with great trepidation.

"Your Majesty, we can't figure out what kind of poison these eunuchs and palace maids have been poisoned by. They seem to be possessed by evil spirits."

They didn't die, but they can't wake up, and nobody knows if they'll ever wake up again!

Yongzheng's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water; it was extremely unpleasant.

He angrily gave the order to the Empress.

"Immediately seal off the news of the Empress Dowager's disappearance; this matter must not be allowed to spread outside the palace!"

At this moment, Yongzheng had no time to care about the ins and outs of the matter; he was more concerned about whether he could secure his throne.

He had only been on the throne for a little over six months, and his brothers, who were already dissatisfied with him, kept spreading rumors that he had usurped the throne.

If the Empress Dowager's disappearance were to be exposed at this time, and if the strange sights at Shou Kang Palace were to become known to outsiders, it would be a serious matter.

His good brothers will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and his throne may be in jeopardy!

Yixiu quickly replied "Yes," but a deep sense of fear inexplicably welled up in her heart.
