"Evelyn Hu! You... caused... their... deaths..." The ghost's voice was terrifying, trembling and slow, as if it came straight from the depths of hell.
"Ah!" Evelyn Hu screamed, clutching her ears. "I didn't kill you! It was your own fault! You shouldn't have tried to kill Connor! Ray Gu is your son, but so is Connor!"
The "ghost" paused for a moment, then slowly advanced on her: "You killed Ray Gu! You killed me! And now, you've killed my daughter Olivia! You wicked woman, venomous and power-hungry, I'm taking you to hell for punishment. You... will... never... reincarnate!"
As the ghost uttered the words "never reincarnate," Evelyn Hu suddenly drew a sword and stabbed at the ghost.
The ghost was struck by her sword and fell to the ground, but instead of bleeding, it crawled toward her in a bizarre and terrifying way.
"Stay away! Get away from me!" Evelyn Hu screamed. "Why are you here to haunt me? It's all your fault!
Connor is your legitimate son, so why did you crown Ray Gu as crown prince?
Connor was the best—he was the most outstanding of all the princes! Why couldn't you see that?
Ray Gu deserved to die!
But you actually wanted to kill all of us!
Were we supposed to just sit and wait for you to kill us? Couldn't we fight back? That's why I poisoned you—killed you! If you want to blame someone, blame your own poor judgment! Blame your favoritism!
"Wretch! Still trying to argue? What did Olivia ever do wrong? Wasn't she your precious youngest daughter? Why would you risk your own life to force her into such danger?" The ghost kept crawling.
"Well, she was a Gu, wasn't she? I raised her all these years, and she couldn't even handle one little thing! If she's dead, it's her own useless fault!"
The ghost slowly rose from the ground and stared at Evelyn Hu: "So, you even killed the late emperor!"
Evelyn Hu was stunned—the voice no longer sounded like a ghost...
The "Emperor" reached up and removed his disguise, revealing Jason Zhuo!
Grace had pulled Leon Zane over to help with the disguise.
Leon Zane's disguise skills were truly impressive. He looked just like a real ghost...
Meanwhile, Grace, who'd been outside the door channeling icy spirit power, finally came in.
She approached Olivia Gu and fed her a drop of medicine... Olivia slowly woke up.
Of course, she wasn't really dead.
Grace had only given her half a Silent Life Pill.
It made her look dead, but her senses remained—she could hear and feel everything happening around her...
Evelyn Hu stared blankly at the awakened Olivia Gu.
Their eyes met, and Evelyn panicked, shouting, "Olivia, listen to me! They drugged me! I was under their control just now!"
Olivia Gu stepped in front of her. "Really?"
"It's true! They really drugged me! Don't believe a word of what I said!"
"When Father passed away, you locked down the palace and let no one see him. Not seeing him one last time has always been my greatest regret..."
"There was chaos in the palace then—the lockdown was to keep things under control! It wasn't because I poisoned him, not at all!"
"The royal physician who was supposed to examine Father died under mysterious circumstances..." Olivia continued.
"That was just an accident!"
"Mother." Olivia looked at her. "Was it really the Zhu Family who destroyed the Blue Moon Kingdom?"
"Of course! You saw it yourself, you experienced it—how could it be fake?"
"No! It wasn't them—it was you!" Olivia said sharply. "If you hadn't killed my brother and Father, none of this would have happened!"
