"Who dares!" Madam Zhang faintly swept her gaze over, her brows as sharp as a knife. In that instant, her demeanor was exactly the same as the intelligent, decisive, and murderous Little Empress Zhou of the past, making people's hearts tremble. "I am the Empress Dowager of Great Yue, the stepwife of the late emperor. Even you, Cao Wenyu, have to respect ben gong as Mother Empress. Why, are you prepared to kill your father and mother in front of all the officials? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? "
Even though she was speaking to Cao Hou, her eyes were filled with mockery as they landed on Heaven's Choice Emperor. Especially when the words "patricide" were pointed out. Xiao Mingcheng's eyes twitched and a clear crack appeared. The filth and stench that had been hidden inside for several decades surged out, causing his face to turn purple.
"Enough! This is the Great Yue palace, a place protected by the gods. I don't believe in any reincarnation. Moreover, that Empress Zhou poisoned my father and committed an unforgivable crime. She can't be called my mother! You madwoman used the name of a poisonous woman to confuse the palace. You deserve death, Zhao Bin! What are you all waiting for? Kill her! "
Zhao Bin waved his hand, and the hundreds of Divine Martial Guards pulled out their swords and surrounded Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang looked old, but she was surprisingly nimble. Before the first batch of Divine Martial Guards got close, she had already dodged to the side hall. She retreated while speaking, her voice was as sharp as a weapon, "Haha, why are you in such a rush to kill me? You don't even want me to say a few words. Are you afraid that I will say something that will make you all afraid, so you want to kill me? "
Zhao Bin scolded, "Where are the archers? Don't let this crazy woman's words dirty the ears of His Majesty and Her Majesty!"
There were many singers and dancers in the side hall. In order to prevent them from harboring evil intentions, before entering the palace, they had repeatedly confirmed that they were all delicate beauties. Madam Zhang led a group of real swords and sabers and suddenly rushed in, quickly causing a huge disturbance. Even if the Divine Martial Guards were well trained and killed people like cutting vegetables, they would not be able to kill these musicians in front of the officials. The sky was dark and chaotic, and there were screams everywhere. Even the archers who could shoot a willow leaf from a hundred paces away lost their place to use their skills.
Amidst the flying arrows, the powerless "Generals of the Mouth" were so scared that they stood on their hind legs. The entire banquet was in chaos.
"Do you think that if I die, no one will expose the mess that you've been hiding for decades? Hahaha, dream on! The more afraid you are, the more terrified you are, the more I want to tell you everything! "
Madam Zhang laughed as she spoke. Her sharp voice pierced through the entire Weiyang Palace, lifted the dazzling glazed tiles, and went straight to the sky. It woke up the dark clouds in the sky and called out bursts of thunder.
Behind the side hall, a high platform was specially set up today. On the high platform, there were several ladders surrounding an iron pillar. The ladders were at least sixty to seventy feet high. Every set distance, there would be a ring on the ladders. It was just enough for the beauties to insert their toes into the ring and extend their soft limbs so that they would not fall. At the very top of the ladders was a beautiful lotus flower. It was as if Guanyin was sitting on it. It was as sacred as an immortal and magnificent. Originally, after the banquet reached its climax, thirty-seven beautiful dancers would climb the ladders and perform a dazzling flying dance. It would be enough to make people unable to forget it for three years.
Unexpectedly, before it could be put to use, Madam Zhang beat them to it. Her stooped gray figure moved through the darkness and climbed up the high platform with unusual agility. As if she had the help of the gods, she dodged the flying arrows one after another. She climbed to the highest Guanyin lotus seat and looked down proudly in the whistling wind.
"Heavens above, please tell the world on my behalf how Xiao Mingcheng and Cao Wenyu, this pair of snakes and scorpions, colluded with Eldest Princess Xiao Mingxue and used underhanded methods to poison my son Minlou. They destroyed the most dazzling sun of the Great Yue Dynasty! And how they spread rumors and misled Emperor Xian to become enemies with this consort, severing all ties. Today, I use my body as a sacrifice and my blood as a medium to ask the gods to show themselves. When I am reborn from the flames like a phoenix, it should prove that everything I say is true! "
"Fire, come!"
Following her angry roar, a nameless fire suddenly erupted in the void. Like a fire dragon, it burned the entire high platform at an extremely fast speed and swept up the ladders. It swallowed up the lotus seat and Madam Zhang, who was on it, and disappeared without a trace.
