Blood splashed on Huang Song’s face as he stood there, stunned.

The imperial court fell into complete silence as if someone had pressed “pause” on the entire situation.

Severed body parts fell to the ground with dull thuds. Puddles of blood formed on the ground quickly, reddening Huang Song’s shoes and socks.

“Protect…” Eunuchs serving the emperor shouted as they carried the child who had wet his pants off the throne.

They had originally planned to take the emperor somewhere safer. Unfortunately, they’d stumbled into this scene during their hasty exit, leaving them all frightened and speechless. The young emperor, having witnessed the whole thing, was shivering nonstop. He couldn’t stop the flood of tears pouring down his face.

With his face covered in blood and smashed brains and his formal court gown smeared with shreds of flesh and organs, Huang Song’s eyes looked like they might pop out of their sockets at any second. His heartbeats didn’t slow down until the imperial guards apprehended County Chief Wuma Shang of Shanghai.

From the perspective of the bystanders, the fact that the old woman’s fingernails had suddenly grown dramatically long and torn apart several imperial guards no doubt meant that she was some kind of supernatural monster.

Yet a monster like that had broken into pieces as soon as it’d been struck by Jiang Pengji’s court boards. Now the real question was…

Didn’t that mean Liu Xi was scarier than the monster?

Huang Song had always been proud of his mental stability and toughness in the face of extreme situations. But what had just happened, though very quick, had left his knees so sore and weak that they could barely support him.

Thump! He fell and knelt on the ground at last. Quite close to him were the body parts of the old woman. One of her eyeballs was hanging outside of the eye socket, and the other had fully rolled out of her skull and settled right next to her head. Since one of the court boards had hit her waist, her guts had also flooded out and spilled everywhere.

Despite all the gory scenes he had seen before, Huang Song was still revolted by the sight in front of him.

He couldn’t take it anymore. As his stomach twitched and a sour taste occupied his mouth, the impulse to vomit got the better of him.

He threw up.

Huang Song covered his mouth with his hand and turned to the side. Residual food came out first and didn’t stop until there was nothing but fluid left for him to puke out.

The other imperial officials were all extremely frightened by what they had seen and had fallen silent with their faces as pale as paper. It seemed as if even breathing would cost their lives. Jiang Pengji and Liu She were the only two who’d remained calm.

“Your majesty, I have eliminated the evil witch.”

Jiang Pengji was cooler than a cucumber. She respectfully bowed with her hands folded in front of her to the young emperor.

Her voice was cool and clear, which worked like magic. Time resumed in the court.

The shocked officials gradually came back to themselves. They then realized that their clothes were all soaked in sticky sweat.

Watching the imperial officials’ frightened and confused faces, the audience of the streaming room all expressed their contempt.

Just Got Gong: These so-called higher-up imperial officials almost passed out from seeing a little gore. What a shame!

Xuehai Liuxiang: Their inner voices: ‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?’

Qiu Xiaonan: I’m soooo scared! I heard that this streaming room had some gory scenes, but I didn’t expect this!

Hard-working Lazy Lady: This wasn’t too bad. Gross at most. Real gore won’t show up until the streamer is on the battlefield. The battle scenes are not just gory, but also spectacular. I just feel bad for Huang Song. This experience will absolutely traumatize the heck out of him. If Huang Song’s interests conflict with the streamer’s someday, do you guys agree that he’ll give up before the battle even starts?

Laosiji Lianmeng: I don’t think it will be that bad. He will be traumatized for sure, but Huang Song is no ordinary man. He has seen things worse than this. Compared to the blood, I think the fact that the streamer is a woman will probably traumatize him more.

The audience of the streaming room had been following the stream for years, so they were more or less mentally prepared. The imperial officials were not. First, the old woman had turned out to be a monster, with white fingernails that had rapidly grown into daggers for tearing people apart. Before they knew it, Jiang Pengji had struck her with her court boards and smashed her into pieces. Although the whole thing had taken five or six seconds at most, it felt like it had been about 10,000 years.

Who would have expected that the court boards they used for note-taking could be used as lethal weapons to break someone into pieces?

The young emperor was still crying, his arms wrapped at a eunuch’s neck. His yellow pee kept trickling down the hemline of his royal gown.

Jiang Pengji had to repeat what she’d just said.

The air froze as if everything had paused again in the court. Finally, Wuma Shang’s furious voice pulled everyone back to reality.

“How dare you treat me like this! Let me go!”

Dazed, Wuma Shang’s sight seemed as if it was filmed over with a layer of mist. He couldn’t even see his own fingers.

Finally, the mist went away and things became clear again. His eyesight and brain started functioning again.

The confused man blinked and was shocked to find that his hands were tied behind his back. He was even kneeling on the ground!

The spoiled royal lord couldn’t take it anymore. He yelled at the guards standing next to him.

The lost and confused imperial officials then took Wuma Shang as their common target.

If not for him, all those crazy things would never have happened.

The startled empress dowager forced herself to calm down. She put together her courage and ordered, “Get the traitor Wuma Shang! Wait for my decision on his punishment!”

Wuma Shang didn’t have any idea what was going on. Hearing the empress dowager’s order, his rage increased.

According to his memory, the two of them had been enjoying themselves very much in bed not long ago. Now, a moment later, she was treating him like this?

“Wait…” Jiang Pengji stopped the guards. “Your highness, Wuma Shang was simply under the spell of the evil witch. What happened today was not his fault. If we take him without knowing for sure, it won’t be fair to him.”

The empress dowager was secretly furious. She kept biting her lip, leaving her full and rosy lower lip dented by her white, seashell-like teeth.

She would never forget when she’d tried to seduce Liu Xi. In retrospect, she felt angry, ashamed, and mortified.

No matter how hard she’d tried to throw herself at Liu Xi, she hadn’t been able to get any response. Liu Xi had simply watched her torture herself and turn herself on.

She’d thought that Liu Xi was simply really good at controlling himself. She’d never realized that Liu Xi was actually a woman!

Wuma Shang was even more puzzled and shocked. He heard Jiang Pengji defending him and jumped on it, yelling about how innocent he was.

“I just woke up. I have no idea what happened. I’m innocent! Your majesty, your highness, please look into this!”

Wuma Shang wasn’t lying. Before this moment, all he remembered was being in bed with the empress dowager and having so much fun. He’d slept so well. Somehow, he was now in the court and surrounded by imperial guards. He had no idea what to do.

Jiang Pengji smiled with a trace of coldness in her eyes. “County Chief Wuma, have you forgotten what just happened?”

Wuma Shang shook his head. He had no memory of it.

If he dug harder into his memory, he could recall the empress dowager’s amazing body and what she was capable of in bed. She’d been better than even the finest prostitutes he had ever experienced.
