Chapter 457 Teasing
The Empress Dowager, who had been involved in power struggles in the court and intrigues in the harem for many years, seemed to have become a spirit. Naturally, she also noticed the changes in Luo Xiaoran's aura.
At this moment, the Luo Xiaoran in her eyes was not just anyone, let alone a demon who had resurrected from the dead, but an immortal from overseas who could help her survive.
With an indescribable throbbing in her heart, she put aside her lifelong pride and answered Luo Xiaoran's questions honestly.
"Yun Fei and...Mo Shen."
After a pause, she added: "Maybe... there is also Jiang Bin."
If you think about it carefully, Jiang Bin and Yun Fei fell off the cliff together. When Yun Fei came back, she was completely different from before, and Jiang Bin had also changed a lot.
At that time, she took her anger out on Jiang Bin, who was protecting Concubine Yun, and planned to execute him. However, Jiang Bin proposed to use the reason of "resurrection from the dead" and executed Concubine Yun as a monster to atone for his sins.
Why couldn't it be some other reason, but had to be "resurrection"?
When Jiang Bin was working in the Palace Front Division, he was obviously a loner and always kept to himself.
Why did he suddenly come to his senses after returning with Concubine Yun? Not only did he help her get rid of Concubine Yun, he also let the Lin family help him, the unpopular bastard, to become the final head of the Jiang family.
Over the years, he has been keeping a low profile, but has been secretly managing the government, making the Jiang family the largest family besides the Lin family...
Why didn't I figure this out earlier? A trace of anxiety flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager.
Luo Xiaoran's pupils contracted drastically because of the words of the Empress Dowager. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much.
Many things can only be verified later.
She lowered her head and moved closer to the Empress Dowager, her eyes as cold as the underworld.
"Thank you for answering my question. Now it's my turn to answer yours."
"I am indeed a person who has resurrected from the dead..."
"Xiaoran!"
Chen Ji grabbed Luo Xiaoran's other hand and shook his head very seriously.
The tight grip on her wrist made Luo Xiaoran realize how worried Chen Ji was about her at the moment.
She gave Chen Ji a look that said "don't worry". Now that she was so close to the Empress Dowager, she could smell a very strong smell of medicine and blood.
Looking at the face of the Empress Dowager, her bright and intimidating eyes now became dim and turbid, as if they would go out at any time.
The Empress Dowager can’t survive!
Luo Xiaoran glanced at Madam Ke again. The master had passed away, so shouldn’t a loyal servant die with him?
So, she said it, sincerely, unrestrainedly, and without reservation.
Chen Ji's reaction indirectly confirmed the credibility of Luo Xiaoran's words. A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. She had no doubts about Luo Xiaoran and her heart was full of hope.
"then you……"
"But why should I teach you this method?"
Luo Xiaoran smiled coldly, raised her hand lightly, broke free from the Empress Dowager's hand, and took Chen Ji's hand that was holding her wrist, interlocking their fingers.
"I can honor you as the Saint of Daliang, build a temple for you, and give you unlimited power. Isn't this better than being a concubine of the King of Yan?"
Luo Xiaoran glanced at the Grand Empress Dowager coldly. Her condescending attitude made the Grand Empress Dowager, who had held power for a lifetime, couldn't help but feel a little submissive in her heart.
At this moment, she completely believed that Luo Xiaoran was a resurrected soul.
"It is indeed better, but why should I abandon the King of Yan who works for the country and the people, and choose a Queen Mother who only cares about power and not the people of the world?"
"My power is far greater than that of King Yan!"
The Empress Dowager was anxious to make amends for herself, her eyes flashed with chaos, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and said in disbelief:
"Did you choose Prince Yan because he is the son of Concubine Yun?"
"Yes! It must be like this! You and Concubine Yun are both resurrected souls, maybe you are old acquaintances. In this case, I will naturally not be able to compete with her!"
"wrong!"
Halfway through her words, the Empress Dowager realized something was wrong. She waved to Madam Ke and asked her to help her up and return to the high phoenix throne.
"Oh! How can a person not be afraid of death?"
"It seems that I am still worldly-wise. I have become old and confused, and my mind is unstable. I was almost deceived by you!"
"If you, the ones who have resurrected corpses, really have supernatural powers, how could Concubine Yun be helpless in the fire?"
"If she could really possess another body, why didn't she come to seek revenge on me after so many years?"
“So, even if I believe in my heart that you are the ones who can revive the dead, I don’t believe that you can perform this secret technique at will, so there is no way I can teach you.”
"Pfft!"
Luo Xiaoran returned the ridicule that the Empress Dowager had previously given to Chen Ji exactly as it was.
"As expected of the Empress Dowager, she was confused for only a short while, and she immediately regained her clarity of mind."
The Empress Dowager began to emanate a powerful, heart-pounding aura again, and she looked at Luo Xiaoran as if she were looking at a dead person.
"I am tolerant enough towards you, but that is no reason for you to tease me!"
How could Luo Xiaoran, who had been through mountains of corpses and seas of blood and had died once, be frightened by such a look?
"Why are you so angry?" She smiled brightly.
"In this life, people have different origins. Some are supreme, while others are as lowly as mud. Those in higher positions are unkind and treat those below them as ants. Little do they know that no matter how high or low their status is, they all end up dead."
"I'm letting you feel the feeling of being teased before you die. Isn't that a novel experience?"
"Great~~" The Empress Dowager did not get angry but laughed instead. She nodded repeatedly at Luo Xiaoran, her whole body shaking.
"In that case, do I need to thank you?"
"You're welcome. Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue~~"
"...cough cough cough!"
