Chapter 36 A Female Orphan
“Who are you?” Imperial Consort Sun screamed.
“I’ve been a eunuch for a long time. I can’t change my habit of speaking.” This person was fair and
beardless, and his voice was sharp. “A mere thief is not worthy of your attention. You’d better talk to
your son more, lest you don’t see him again!”
Imperial Consort Sun thought of the chaos outside and could not help but tremble in fear. She hugged
the Sixth Prince tightly.
Eunuch Wang frowned as he recalled all the inner servants in the palace. Suddenly, he had a thought.
“You’re Feng Zhong from the Clean Room!”
“No wonder Eunuch Wang was valued by the late emperor and became a minister as a eunuch. He
could be said to be the first in the country.” Feng Zhong praised, “I’m just a nobody who washed the
latrines, but I can actually make Eunuch Wang remember my name.”
Eunuch Wang said coldly, “I can’t compare to you. You can actually influence the inheritance of the
country with your disguise technique.”
As they spoke, the palace gates rumbled open and a hundred soldiers rushed in. Following closely
behind was Prince Qin, Zhao Yuan. The real Prime Minister Zhang was on his right. He was also
holding a sharp sword in his hand, and the blade was still dripping with blood.
“Father, I’m late!”
When Zhao Yuan saw Emperor Hongchang lying on the bed, he instantly shed two streams of tears. It
was unknown if he was sad or excited.
Eunuch Wang shouted, “Your Majesty, why did you barge into the palace without an order?”
“Shut up, eunuch!” Zhao Yuan wiped his tears and berated, “I received a secret report from Prime
Minister Zhang that Imperial Consort Sun tried to murder my father and forged a will to promote her
son. I immediately brought troops to save him. Unfortunately, it was too late!”
In just a few words, he had completely denied the political correctness of the edict.
In the future, in the history of the country, it would also be Imperial Consort Sun and the others who
killed the emperor and usurped the throne. Zhao Yuan had led the army in the middle of the night to
save the day.
Duke Cheng looked deeply at Zhang Zhengyang and asked, “Can I leave?”
“Please, Duke!”
Zhang Zhengyang ordered someone to make way and explained to Zhao Yuan in a low voice, “Your
lineage rests with the country. Duke Cheng is not a supporter of the Sixth Prince. You can rope him in
after the matter is settled.”
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and looked coldly at the Sixth Prince, Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi was talented and smart. He had already guessed what was about to happen. In a slightly
childish voice, he begged, “Second Brother, I am willing to not be the emperor. Can you spare my life
and my mother’s life?”
Zhao Yuan was slightly stunned and hesitated. His younger brother was usually the most obedient and
had a good relationship with his brothers.
“Your Highness, if we don’t remove the roots, it will definitely cause trouble in the future!” Zhang
Zhengyang reminded him, “The Sun family is in charge of the capital camp. The army will arrive early
tomorrow morning. At that time, it will be Your Highness’ turn to beg your younger brother to spare your
life.”
“Kill!” Zhao Yuan no longer hesitated and waved his hand to give the order.
A moment later.
Imperial Consort Sun and Zhao Yi fell in front of Emperor Hongchang. All the other palace maids in
Shangyang Palace died.
Midnight.
The officials entered the palace and went to the morning court. After the former crown prince’s rebellion
failed, Emperor Hongchang personally came to court.
As he was old and weak, most of the morning court sessions were just a matter of time. When Eunuch
Wang announced that His Majesty was unwell, the civil and military officials would return to their
respective homes.
However, when they entered the Fengtian Palace, they looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting
on the throne.
Feng Zhong, who had been temporarily promoted to eunuch in front of the palace, took out the
Minghuang Imperial Edict and read it. The general idea was that the late emperor had died last night,
leaving the imperial edict to be inherited by Prince Qin, Zhao Yuan.
The courtiers looked at each other, unsure whether to cry or pay their respects.
Zhang Zhengyang was the first to kowtow and shout, “Long live Your Majesty.”
The others immediately understood and kowtowed three times, acknowledging Zhao Yuan as the new
ruler.
Chen family’s valley.
The defeated commander died from being eaten by a group of ghosts. His flesh and blood were eaten
clean, leaving only his pale bones.

Zhou Yi carefully sensed the changes in the ghosts and discovered that after they devoured living souls
and flesh, most of their auras strengthened slightly, and there was an additional ferocious aura.
A small number of ghosts turned into smoke and dissipated after the commander died.
Old Chen’s vengeful spirit led the villagers’ ghosts and knelt down to kowtow to Zhou Yi.
“Thank you, benefactor!”
Zhou Yi asked, “Do you have any plans for the future?”
Old Man Chen said, “We’ll naturally disperse our remnant souls and reincarnate as soon as possible.”
“That’s good.” Zhou Yi nodded slightly. If not for the stimulation of the House Suppression Talisman, the
group of ghosts would not even be able to appear. Their souls would dissipate in three to five days.
Firstly, there were no spiritual objects for them to attach. Secondly, there was no soul refining
technique, so they could not even become a vengeful spirit.

when he was alive. His soul was far tougher and stronger than ordinary people.
Old Man Chen begged, “I’ll have to trouble you to dig a hole and bury our corpses. There’s no need to
dig a hole alone and erect a monument. In any case, no one will mourn us in the future.”
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement. He would definitely find a good place to bury them so that they could
reincarnate to a rich family in their next lives.
The ghosts kowtowed and thanked him again.
There were masters in the mortal world who were good at reading Feng Shui. Through various
incantations and secret techniques, they found the so-called dragon cave. However, in the eyes of
cultivators, it was just a small technique. Their dharmic powers could sense the places where the
spiritual energy in the world was clear and dense; those must be a precious place of Feng Shui.
After that, Old Man Chen led the way. Zhou Yi found a trailer and went from house to house to collect
the corpses.
There were all kinds of tragic deaths.
Zhou Yi realized that after putting away the corpses, some of the weaker ghosts dissipated with the
wind on the spot, and the stronger ghosts became more transparent.
After filling up the cart with corpses, Zhou Yi found a place with good feng shui near Chen’s family
valley and stomped his feet to create a huge pit. After the corpses were buried, the faint ghosts
completely disappeared.
When Zhou Yi saw this scene, he had a faint guess in his heart. “Perhaps this is the origin of the burial
custom of being buried in peace. It can effectively reduce the number of vengeful spirits and evil ghosts
harming the world!”
The second cart of corpses was more than half full. He came to a small farmhouse.
“This is Shuanzhu’s family. His daughter is only two years old. What a sin!”
Old Man Chen’s gaze swept across the sparse ghosts and did not find Shuanzhu.
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and heard breathing. “Perhaps there are still living people here?”
Old Man Chen was so excited that his soul was unstable. He entered the house and came out again.
“Lassie Chen is alive!”
Zhou Yi pushed the door open and entered. He saw two corpses lying on the bed. The man had been
stabbed in the abdomen and the woman’s neck was broken in half. The two of them died in each
other’s arms. Blood dyed the bed black and red, and the sound of breathing came from below.
Zhou Yi flipped the corpse and lifted the blanket. There was a baby girl wrapped inside. She looked two
or three years old, pink and tender, as if she was hungry.
As soon as the blanket wrapped around her disappeared, the baby girl struggled to turn over and
climbed onto her mother’s body to scratch. Her little hands were covered in blood as she licked them to
satisfy her hunger.
“Benefactor!” Old Man Chen knelt down and kowtowed again. “Lassie Chen is the only child in the
village. Please, raise her till she grows up.”
“Get up.”
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment. He had been alone for nearly thirty years and was carefree. He did
not want to have more people at home. Firstly, the Dao Fruit of Longevity could not be exposed.
Secondly, he did not have any experience in raising children. If he made a mistake, his conscience
would not be at ease.
However, Zhou Yi could not bear to see the little girl starve to death.
“Brother Chen, I have no choice, but I will bring Lassie Chen back to the Divine Capital and help her
find a good family. I’ll visit often and guarantee her a lifetime of peace and
joy!”
