Inside the Chengtian Palace, Liu Hongyu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, woke up mysteriously, opening his eyes dazedly. Realizing suddenly what had just happened, he bolted up.
The assassin?!
As he turned to look, he saw a body laying on the ground, causing his heart to shudder.
His legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.
The Emperor... is dead!
It was then that a familiar voice rang out, "The Emperor passed away because of an uncontrollable illness. The second, third and fifth princes are overwhelmed with grief. Some other senior officials couldn't bear the shock and followed the Emperor to the afterlife..."
Is this...the Empress?
Startled, Liu Hongyu looked up, and saw the Empress standing next to the throne, very much alive and only in different clothes.
What's going on?
He was dumbfounded.
Just now, he had witnessed the Empress committing suicide.
Not just him, everyone in the court had seen it.
Yet now, she had come back from the dead.
