Chapter 357: Previous Life (1): Death is Death
How could it be the ceremony of crowning the queen?
Hasn't she been reborn?
Shouldn't she be in Beiyangguan?
Lin Zhaoyue looked around blankly. The familiar palace, the familiar people, she even saw her eldest son Liu Bojian, whose head had been chopped off by Marquis Xuanping himself.
The winter sun shone on the golden roof of the Golden Throne Hall, fine snow began to fall from the sky, clouds blocked the sun, and the sky began to turn white.
Lin Zhaoyue saw the snowflakes floating towards Xiao Yun’s cold eyebrows. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. When he looked away, his dark eyes met hers.
For a moment, Lin Zhaoyue's whole body stiffened.
But his eyes just swept over her lightly, and then looked at Liu Yiyi who was slowly walking towards him, as if he couldn't see her.
Lin Zhaoyue sensed something was wrong and deliberately wandered around in front of the officials, but no one reacted.
She looked at the ground; she had no shadow.
Lin Zhaoyue panicked and was about to go to the cold palace.
If this was true, then she was most likely just a wandering soul now, and she wanted to go and see her corpse.
Is rebirth all fake?
Just her dying fantasy?
But her father, mother, sister, and brother...she doesn't believe it.
Lin Zhaoyue walked out eagerly, no, to be more precise, she floated. But before she floated out of the palace gate, she was pulled back by an invisible force.
Several attempts ended in failure.
She could only stay where she was and watch Liu Yiyi walk up to the imperial stage with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yun stood up, reached out and held her hand, and the two of them stood in front of the hall, overlooking the civil and military officials in the hall.
As the ceremonial officer shouted "Bai" loudly, officials and soldiers at all levels kowtowed nine times towards them.
Lin Zhaoyue didn’t know what the state of a wandering soul was like. She felt that she couldn’t touch anything or anyone except her physical body, and she couldn’t do anything, but she had real emotions.
For example, now, she can feel the real anger and wants to tear out their tendons, peel off their skin and drink their blood and flesh.
She thought so and did so.
She rushed forward and began to fan the two men left and right, but try as she might, she could not even move their hair, let alone cause any harm.
She opened her mouth and cursed them, but no one could hear her voice except her. Finally, she was so tired of tossing herself that she sat on Xiao Yan's dragon throne.
The two of them were holding hands in front of her. Lin Zhaoyue felt annoyed and looked away.
When the ceremony was in the second half, she saw two furtive palace maids coming in at the palace gate. Lin Zhaoyue recognized them. They were the two people Liu Yiyi had placed in the cold palace to monitor her. They often beat and scolded her and forced her to eat rotten rice and slop every day.
They looked panicked, obviously having discovered that she was dead.
Lin Zhaoyue floated to their side. If she was the evil ghost in the storybook, she would definitely torture them in every way at this moment. However, she could do nothing.
He could neither avenge his family nor himself.
So useless!
Useless in life, useless after death!
Lin Zhaoyue followed them and saw the two of them sneaking up to Liu Yiyi's confidant.
The confidant frowned when she saw the two of them. She carefully checked the surroundings and saw that no one was paying attention to her. Then she led the two palace maids to a corner and asked in a low voice:
"What on earth happened? Why don't you stay in the cold palace on such an important day for Her Majesty? You are full of bad luck. Be careful that Her Majesty will find out and peel off your skin."
"Miss Jinzhu, we didn't want to disturb Her Majesty at this time, but..."
The palace maid who was speaking paused, and the two looked at each other, seeing panic in each other's eyes.
Looking at the two of them, Jinzhu said sternly:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The two palace maids were startled and quickly bowed their bodies and said:
"Miss Jinzhu, the bitch imprisoned in the cold palace...she...she's dead?"
Jinzhu's eyes widened immediately and said:
"what are you saying?"
The two palace maids immediately broke out in cold sweat when asked by Jinzhu. They repeated the question again, saying:
"The deposed queen who was imprisoned in the cold palace died. When we went to bring her food at noon, she was already dead."
"Waste, such a waste! Didn't you two give her the life-extending pill? How could she die suddenly?"
Yes, although Liu Yiyi tortured her in every way, she gave her life-extending pills every day. Otherwise, she would have died long ago after she had tortured her for so long.
Lin Zhaoyue was puzzled at first, but later she felt that she was probably torturing her and would not let her die so easily.
"I fed him, but he still died for some reason."
Jinzhu gritted her teeth and said:
"Keep this a secret and don't tell anyone. Got it?"
"Yes, the servant knows."
The two palace maids responded tremblingly, obviously extremely frightened.
Lin Zhaoyue was a little confused. Why didn't they show any fear when they bullied her? Now that she was dead, they seemed to be scared to death as if their entire clan would be executed the next moment.
Could it be that he was afraid of implicating Liu Yiyi?
Lin Zhaoyue chuckled.
Based on Xiao Yan's current love for Liu Yiyi, even if Liu Yiyi killed him with her own hands in front of him, he would probably just say "die".
Lin Zhaoyue stretched out her hands and grabbed the two men's necks with hatred, but it was of no use.
With a heart full of anger, she ignored the two maids and followed Jinzhu's pace.
When I followed Jinzhu back, the enthronement ceremony had already ended.
According to etiquette procedures, after the enthronement ceremony, a banquet will be held to entertain all officials.
As everyone walked towards the banquet hall, Lin Zhaoyue also floated over.
Her body can move through anything, so she is not afraid of falling and does not need to look at the road.
She still couldn't tell whether this was the world after her death or a dream after her rebirth.
If it was after death, why was the silver chain on Liu Yiyi's hand exactly the same as the one she wore when she was imprisoned in the East Palace by Xiao Yan?
Xiao Yan and Liu Yiyi were walking side by side. At this time, Jin Zhu came over and said:
"Your Highness is pregnant now, and the weather is cold today, so you should keep warm."
Liu Yiyi and Jinzhu looked at each other. The tacit understanding between the master and servant instantly made Liu Yiyi understand that Jinzhu had something to say.
She said to Xiao Yan beside her:
"Brother Ying, Yiyi, go get some more clothes."
Even in front of others, Liu Yiyi can still call Xiao Yinyin "brother" at her own will, which shows how much Xiao Yinyin loves her.
Xiao Yan nodded and instructed:
"It's snowing and the roads are slippery, be careful."
Liu Yiyi bowed and walked towards Kunning Palace with Jinzhu.
Lin Zhaoyue guessed that Jinzhu was going to inform Liu Yiyi of her death. She wanted to know how Liu Yiyi was going to deal with her body, so she followed.
After getting away from the crowd and making sure the surroundings were safe, Liu Yiyi touched her bulging belly and asked casually:
"What happened?"
Now that she has taken control of the Phoenix Seal, she is just waiting for the son in her belly to be born safely.
Jinzhu lowered her voice and said:
"Your Majesty, Yuzhu and Yinzhu just reported that Lin Zhaoyue is dead in the cold palace!"
Liu Yiyi paused with her hand on her belly. She raised her head and looked at her with a sharp look in her eyes:
"How could she die? Didn't I tell you to feed her life-extending pills every day?"
Jinzhu knelt on the ground and said:
"I don't know either. I've already given her the life-extending pill, but why did that bitch still die?"
Liu Yiyi clenched her fists and cursed:
"That bitch, why did she die this time instead of earlier?"
Her eyes flickered, and after a moment of contemplation, she said:
"The Emperor must not be informed of this matter. Go..."
Just as Lin Zhaoyue was about to hear the crucial moment, she was forcibly pulled back by an invisible force.
By the time she reacted, everything around her had gone dark. She looked around and realized that this was the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the doors and windows were closed, and the dim light made it impossible to see people's expressions.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was standing in front of a shelf. He looked completely different from the gentle man he was just in front of Liu Yiyi, with a frosty face.
"What did you say? Lin Zhaoyue is dead?"
For some reason, Lin Zhaoyue actually heard suppressed anger in his voice.
anger?
Maybe he was just like Liu Yiyi, and felt disgusted that she died at the wrong time!
"I have confirmed that Miss Lin is indeed dead."
Xiao Yun's face turned pale, and he pressed his hands firmly on his chest. Lin Zhaoyue could clearly feel that his breathing was unstable, as if he was enduring some great pain.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips and was about to laugh at him for being pretentious when suddenly, flames shot up into the sky outside and thick smoke blocked out the sun.
"There's a fire, there's a fire, look, there's a fire in the cold palace."
"Why did the water suddenly burst?"
"Fire, put out the fire..."
The fire broke out so suddenly, especially during the ceremony to crown the empress, that the entire palace was thrown into chaos.
Hearing the noise, before Lin Zhaoyue could react, Xiao Yun had already opened the door, displayed his lightness skills, and rushed towards the cold palace.
