Chapter 40 The Emperor's Favored Mad Concubine's Ramblings (9) - End
The Queen was in a daze, staring intently at the door of the secret chamber.
I don't know how many days have passed, and apart from the spoiled food being brought in through the small door every day, no one has come again.
In the dark and damp little room, she was like a wandering ghost.
Sometimes she would even wake up suddenly, wondering if she was already dead.
She's just a walking corpse now.
When Su Dingding entered the dark room again, the Empress was huddled in the corner, her cheeks sunken, staring blankly at her.
"Do you want to see your child?" Su Dingding suddenly asked.
The Empress's blank gaze suddenly shifted, and she rushed to Su Dingding's feet, looking at her expectantly.
"Come with me." Su Dingding walked ahead.
The Queen was nervous; she was finally going to see her little prince!
It had been a month since she last stepped out of the dark room. The intense sunlight was too much for the Queen to handle; she squinted and felt a sense of panic.
Under the big tree, she seemed to see a small figure from behind.
As she slowly walked over, the Queen excitedly squatted down and stretched out her hands. But when the small figure turned around, it was the little monster!
"Mother!" The little monster grinned, its bright eyes reflecting the Empress's image.
"No! Impossible!" The queen collapsed to the ground, unwilling to accept it all.
What shocked her was not only the little monster, but also her own face!
The once stunning beauty is now unrecognizable, resembling a skeleton, and even bears a resemblance to the little monster before us.
Unable to accept it, the queen finally let out a desperate scream as the little monster pounced on her, and went completely mad!
"Hahaha..." The queen, her eyes filled with rage, reached out her hand toward the little monster's neck.
When the Emperor arrived with his troops, Su Dingding feigned fear and pointed at them, "Your Majesty, the little monster and the big monster..."
"Shoot them to death with a hail of arrows!" the emperor commanded.
The Empress turned to look at the Emperor, and tears welled up in her eyes.
This is the second time the Emperor has ordered her to be shot!
In just a few seconds, the queen was riddled with arrows. She swayed as she stood up, but finally fell to another volley of arrows.
The little monster was nothingness; after dying beside the queen, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
"Hua'er, are you alright?" The Emperor came over to check on Su Dingding.
"I am fine," Su Dingding replied.
The Emperor's gaze gradually made Su Dingding uncomfortable. She instantly turned cold, realizing she needed to give this old man some stimulation.
Not long after the Empress's death, Su Dingding used the excuse of an empty harem to select concubines for the Emperor.
However, she did something in advance, having Gangzi use an illusion potion on the emperor.
In the emperor's eyes, even young and beautiful women were considered ugly old women, while truly ugly old women were young and beautiful.
As a result, all the beauties sent to the palace by the ministers were rejected, and they could only watch helplessly as the emperor favored some old women who had lost their beauty.
They never expected that the emperor would have such a strange quirk: the older and uglier he became, the more he liked him!
As a result, the harem was soon occupied by a group of frail old women.
The Emperor was enamored with them all and would choose one of them every day.
However, these concubines did not live long, and the emperor would suffer the pain of separation and death every now and then.
"After Consort Xi, there are no more beauties!"
"After Consort Wu, no one understands me anymore!"
"Consort Yu, why did you leave me..."
"Cui, I haven't even had a chance to bestow a title upon you yet, how could you be gone already, ahhh..."
As the years passed, the emperor missed his deceased concubines dearly.
He fell ill with lovesickness and eventually became bedridden.
Now, Su Dingding is the Empress, and she has adopted the son of the Wing King and named him Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince doted on Su Dingding every day and was quite filial to him.
On his final moments, the emperor was surrounded by many beautiful women.
The emperor regained his senses and saw the old women in front of him, dressed in bright colors and colorful clothes. Two of them were toothless, with wrinkled faces, but they were wearing heavy makeup. Their hands were trembling rhythmically as they fed him medicine.
"No..." The emperor suddenly felt nauseous and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty..." The voice was truly aged, yet the cloudy eyes were filled with concern, "If Your Majesty passes away, please allow me to be buried with you, so that we may fly together as one for all eternity!"
"No..." The emperor was so anxious that he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to be buried with you!"
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to fly wing to wing with Your Majesty for all eternity!"
The concubines knelt on the ground to show their loyalty, but it was difficult for them to kneel down and even more difficult to get up. They were panting and easily strained their backs.
"No..." The emperor looked up at the sky and sighed, his eyes wide open, but he died with his eyes still open.
Su Dingding came to see the Emperor off on his final journey, weeping and wailing.
Not long after, the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and Su Dingding became the Empress Dowager.
Over the decades, he has tasted all the delicacies in the world and enjoyed all the pleasures of life.
He died peacefully at the age of seventy-eight.
Zhao Zihua was very satisfied with her life in this life and was also very grateful to Su Dingding.
Su Dingding withdrew her divine sense and watched as Zhao Zihua's soul slowly dissipated and embarked on the cycle of reincarnation.
Return to the Abyss of Vengeful Spirits.
The ghosts erupted in cheers once again, welcoming Su Dingding back.
"The very famous Su Dingding!"
"The very famous Su Dingding!"
"Who's next?" Gangzi asked.
The boy holding card number 4 was a teenager with extensive burns and a distorted face, looking somewhat terrifying.
Perhaps knowing he was too scary, the boy felt somewhat inferior.
With severely atrophied muscles, he carefully lifted the card and asked in a low voice, "Can I do it too?"
"Of course!" Gangzi came up to him.
"But the people who hurt me are my family..." The little boy hesitated a second before signing the contract.
"So you're giving up on revenge?" Gangzi asked.
"I...don't know." The little boy's eyes held both longing and fear.
That was his home, or at least that's what he thought.
But those people called him a bastard and a little beast, and never treated him as family.
He should bear the consequences of his biological parents' mistakes; it's only right and he deserves it!
revenge?
What right does he have to seek revenge?
The other vengeful spirits were getting impatient with his timid and submissive manner.
"Since he's unwilling to seek revenge, let's move on to the next one!"
"Exactly, let's not waste everyone's time."
Gangzi, however, grabbed the boy's hand and said, "Or perhaps we should leave everything to fate and let nature take its course?"
The boy looked at it and nodded.
So Gangzi quickly entered into a contract with him and began writing the program gate to the small world.
Soon, the interface where Zhao Zihua was located transformed into an energy ball floating in the air, and a picturesque town appeared on the large screen.
"If you're ready, shall we set off?" Gangzi asked.
The boy nodded.
[Host, let's set off for the next small world!]
