Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Empress said in a deep voice, Give me your cell phone.

Shadow did not know what she wanted to do, but he handed her the cell phone respectfully.

The curtain parted, and the Empress took the cell phone from him. Lowering her eyes, she said in a dignified and deep voice, Whats that b.a.s.t.a.r.ds number?

Shadow shuddered and raised his head. You plan to

No answer came from behind the curtains.

His eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously gave her a phone number. You dont have to communicate with her. I can pa.s.s the message on your behalf.

The Empress completely ignored him. After entering the string of numbers into the cell phone, she dialed the number. At the same time, she pressed the loudspeaker and placed the cell phone by her bed.

No one picked up the first time,

Shadows heart beat faster. An invisible pressure weighed down from above, making him bow his head even lower and not dare to say a word.

The Empress patiently dialed a second time.

No one picked up this time either.

Before she hung up, he heard a faint electric sizzle, followed by a girlish voice.

h.e.l.lo.

It was Qiao Nian!

Shadows heart sank and cold sweat drenched his back. It was obvious how nervous he was as he clenched his hands.

Behind the curtains.

The Empress said in a low voice, Even your voice is so similar to hers. Its a pity that you havent taken after her personality.

A few seconds of silence ensued on the other end, as if the other party had hung up.

Shadow waited for a long time before the girl spoke again.

Pfft, Im sorry to disappoint you. I was born with this temper. She has a good temper, but unfortunately, she died early.

Qiao Nian! The Empress spoke slowly as if giving off a bloodthirsty warning.

However, this warning was useless.

The girl seemed to have been born rebellious. Did I say something wrong? Dont you know how she died?

Shadows back was drenched in a cold sweat. He knelt on one knee and tried to bury his head in the ground.

From behind the curtain came the Empresss low panting. It seemed that she had been provoked badly.

For so many years, almost no one dared to mention this matter in front of her. Ji Qing was taboo, and Ji Qings death was even more so!S earch ?ew?o?el. ?rg on g??gl?

However, this taboo was exposed today, allowing everyone to see the truth hidden back then.

Ji Qing had died at the hands of her own mother!

Tell me, why did you call me? The girls voice turned casual just as when she answered the call.

It was as if she was not talking to her grandmother, whom she had never seen before, but a stranger.

The Empresss expression was tense, and her eyes were dark. Her expression softened. What do you want to do to Ji Ziyin?

The girl did not say anything.

She continued, You were the one who gave up on the mission first and didnt look for Lu Zhi. Since youve lost, you have to admit defeat. Dont play a cheap trick behind her back. Ive already arranged for someone to pick them up at the airport. Stay away if youre smart. You wont succeed!

Also, I havent settled the score with you regarding Continent F. You should understand what I mean.

On the other end, one could almost hear her breathing.

Shadow lowered his head.

After a long while.

The girl laughed softly as if she was mocking the Empress. It was cold and arrogant, Did you call to warn me to follow the rules?

Should you not follow the rules? the Empress asked.

What if I dont? The girl showed off. What can you do to me if I dont follow the rules?!

What could the reclusive families do if she did not follow the rules today?!
