Chapter 165 Tooth for Tooth

Only the Empress punished this vicious woman; even after Jun Shuyan found out, he didn't do anything to Qin Wanyue!

Ha, it's a wonder Chun'er calls him "Father Emperor" so happily!

A metallic sweet taste filled her mouth. Qin Wanyue regained her senses, looked up, and saw Jun Shuyan. She let go of him in a daze, then threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah, Your Majesty! A ghost! A ghost!"

"I miss you so much, why won't you come and keep me company?"

Qin Wanyue cried bitterly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Cheng Yan'er was also crying even more bitterly.

Why is that old hag here too?! Did she come to laugh at her?! She gets annoyed just looking at her face!

"Your Majesty! Please make them all leave! I'm scared, I'm scared!"

She clung tightly to Jun Shuyan's clothes, her face deathly pale.

Before Jun Shuyan could speak, Cheng Yan'er took her leave, and the others followed suit.

Once only the two of them were left in the room, Qin Wanyue burst into tears again, her face streaked with tears. Jun Shuyan's initial heartache gradually turned into impatience.

"Moon, I'll summon the Prime Minister's wife to the palace to keep you company in a little while. I must go to court."

After he finished speaking, he tucked the blanket around Qin Wanyue reassuringly, and said that as for her mention of ghosts, they could just find a master to exorcise them.

Jun Shuyan left without warning. Qin Wanyue originally wanted to play tricks and keep him there, but she held back because of what Qin Qiao had told her.

As soon as he left, Qin Wanyue immediately started yelling in the room, "A bunch of dog slaves! Where have you all gone?! Get back here right now! I'll chop you all up!"

There was no one in the house to watch over her last night, which scared her so much that she fainted!

She was determined to find the most powerful master to beat that damned thing to a pulp!

The palace servants rushed in, and Qin Wanyue felt a headache coming on. "What are you all doing here? Are you in the way?! Get out of here!"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, and tried to leave. Seeing this, the personal maid left two clever maids behind while the others left the room.

Qin Wanyue recalled the ghost's appearance from last night and then asked her personal nanny, "What did that lowly servant who went to the side room look like when she died?"

The old nanny hesitated whether to tell her or not, because the palace maid's appearance was truly terrifying; she herself had been startled when she saw her.

"Your Majesty, she..."

"Just say it! What are you dawdling about?! Do you think I'd eat you alive if I told you to speak?!"

Qin Wanyue couldn't stand her stammering. She just wanted to know if it was that palace maid!

Even if she's turned into a ghost, she still dares to scare her! If she were really her, I'd definitely have people go to the mass grave to find her corpse and whip it!

The personal maid was most afraid of Qin Wanyue losing her temper, and knowing that she had a bad temper, she had no choice but to tell her everything she knew and saw.

As Dongshuang listened to what she said by the door, she silently clenched her fists. It turned out that what she had found out was only the tip of the iceberg. The suffering that Chunyu had endured was far more than what she knew!

Those damned eunuchs in the concubine's quarters! She'll teach them a lesson tonight!

The master they had invited was still on his way, and that evening, Jun Shuyan, unable to refuse Qin Wanyue's request, had no choice but to come to Huaqing Palace to keep her company.

Everyone was tense, and all attention was focused on them. No one noticed that in the middle of the night, a white figure drifted to the side room.

The three old eunuchs were snoring in the cramped room; they had all been punished for their mistakes and were sent here.

I'm old but haven't died of old age. I live here day by day, only needing to empty chamber pots and clean up. I'm quite carefree and happy.

Dongshuang smeared some chicken blood on her face, then took out something she had prepared and used it to float around the room.

"Give me my life, give me my life!"

"You three old bastards, I'm going to tear you to pieces and send you all to hell!"

"All of you, die! All of you, die!"

A burst of giggles rang out, mixed with the chilling sound of chewing.

The eunuch who was a light sleeper was instantly awakened and screamed when he saw the ghostly figure floating on the wall.

"Aaaaaah! A ghost! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

Winter Frost let out another strange giggle. She drifted towards the bed, her long hair obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her features. "Father-in-law is awake? It's so cold down there, so very cold. Come and keep me company."

Her voice was extremely high-pitched, as if it had been forced out of her throat by someone squeezing her throat.

The eunuch was so frightened that he covered his head with the blanket, but Dongshuang yanked it off.

"Aww! No!" The eunuch reached for the blanket, but was suddenly startled by the ghostly face. A warm stream flowed down his thighs and onto the bed.

"It wasn't me! Don't look for me! Those two are the ones who killed you, don't come looking for me!"

He knew who the ghost was as soon as he saw the sewn-up mouth; that day, he had been bitten by that wretched girl.

In a fit of anger, he knocked her unconscious and sewed her mouth shut with needle and thread so she couldn't scream or hurt the three brothers.

When the person was brought over, the old woman said that whether they lived or died was up to fate.

I never expected her to be so resilient and survive so long before she died; in the past, most people wouldn't have lived more than ten days.

Dong Shuang grinned maliciously, her terrifying face looming close to the eunuch. "So, sir, you still remember me? I remember you too."

"Look, my father-in-law sewed my mouth back on stitch by stitch."

As she spoke, she tugged at her lips, and then gushing, dark red blood flowed from the crevices, emitting a pungent, fishy stench.

The two protruding eyes gradually became just whites, hanging on the ghost face like two stark white dead fish eyes.

The old eunuch screamed incessantly, while the other two slept soundly in bed.

He grabbed several chamber pots and smashed them over, causing him to feel pain all over his body. The other two old eunuchs also woke up.

Upon seeing the white-clad ghost in front of them, the three eunuchs huddled together tightly.

"Whoo~"

Winter Frost blew a breath of cool air into the ear of a eunuch with a mole on his face, causing him to scream.

"Don't be afraid, Father-in-law. Do you think my face looks good?"

The old eunuch dared not raise his head and kept his eyes tightly closed. With a flick of Dong Shuang's sleeve, streaks of blood appeared on his face, and many white maggots scrambled to crawl into them.

"Ah!" The eunuch was in so much pain that he rolled off the bed and onto the floor. After a while, he kicked his legs and stopped moving.

Winter Frost sneered inwardly. She couldn't even handle it at the beginning? What about the torment Spring Rain endured? That was like having a knife heated red-hot and slapped against her face!

Then this old beast actually tied her to a tree, smeared honey all over her injured face, and let ants gnaw on her burned skin! How cruel and vicious!

Two other eunuchs had already fainted from fright. Dongshuang quickly sewed up the mouth of the first eunuch, repeating the process several times.

The stitches are so fine that not even a breath can escape; even if he doesn't die, removing the stitches will be extremely difficult.

There was another one where she directly pierced his genitals until they were a mess, because this rootless old man could still do such a thing when Chunyu was bedridden!

After doing all that, she left several bloody handprints and wrote a large "death" on the wall before quietly leaving.

The night passed and nothing happened inside the palace, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Qin Wanyue was about to coax Jun Shuyan, who was on his way to court, her personal nanny rushed in.

"It's terrible, Your Majesty! Your Highness, the concubine's quarters are haunted!"
