The Diposed Empress Is Back!

Wan Xiang: Is she dead?

Wan Cui: She's long dead!

I saw her drink the arsenic with my own two eyes.

Wei Yujin: •••Who... Who's talking...

Wan Cui: It's fine as long as she's dead. Where's the fire? How much longer will it take to get here?

We can't wait for it to burn it's way here. The palace is already doused in oil. It's all the same if the fire starts here.

Wan Xiang: If you ask me, our deposed empress deserves everything thats coming to her. She can't blame us.

Wo disagrees!

Alright! Let's deal with this quickly and report back to madam.

*throws the torch*

-fire starts spreading-

Wei Yujin: -eyes opened wide-

•••This people...How heartless...*getting up*

Poisoning a person, and now is disposing off the corpse by fire? *covers mouth and nose*

Can't die... I can't die...

I can still get out of this!

*looks*

There! The fire hasn't reached there yet!

*rushed*

-pulls the window-

•••The window...

It's locked from the outside!

Damn it!

*uses force to break off the window*

–Bang!

-falls on the pond-

Wei Yujin: -Cough-cough-

Phew...

Tsk! Did you think i was the same naive, defenceless, disgraced empress...

I! Am! Wei! Yujin! *stand up*

I, Wei Yujin, am Someone who crawled my way up from the mud in the 21st century.

I can do the same here.

.....

Wan Xiang: Yikes... My hand stinks of tung oil... How disgusting...*shakes hand*

Who's there?! *turns around quickly*

Wan Cui: Why are you screaming? You scared me!! *angry*

After we just did, aren't you afraid of calling attention to us?

Wan Xiang: I... What do i have to feel guilty for...

•••Strange... I could have sworn i just saw a shadow... Could it have been the Empress's vengeful ghost... *scared*

Wan Cui: What did you actually see?!

What we did here isn't something that should be seen by others. I'll go take a look.

Wan Xiang: Eh? Don't go!

I... I won't wait for you...

Hey! What's happening over there...

Say something...What did you see...

I... I'm not waiting. I'm leaving first! Madam is still waiting for me to report back...

Wei Yujin: Hehehehe...

Wan Xiang: Who?! *terrified*

Wei Yujin: Who? Hehe...

Vengeance! Ghost! Prepare to die!

Wan Xiang: Ahhh!!! *scared*

Wan Cui: Crap! *turns head*

Could we have been noticed!

*Walks back*

Wan Xiang! What happened!

Wan Xiang: Ma-Madam...I deserve it! Your highness, please spare my life!

Y-Your highness, please forgive me! *kowtowing*

Wan Cui: What!

What did you say?!

•••Are you talking about the empress? Empress Wei?

Did lady Wei survived?!

No! She cannot live! *turns head*

Crap! The fire has spread too far! It has alarmed the cold palace...

: Quickly! Quickly!

: Bring men! We need to put this out!

Shift Leader: What about Lady Wei?! Where is Lady Wei!

Maid: Reporting, Shift Leader! I... Her highness has not been seen coming out...

: Could she have died...

: Ah. What a pity. Lady Wei was so young...

: Pity? Death might've been a relief...

Wan Cui: •••So she's actually dead? That's good...I can relax and report to madam!

: Still alive! The Empress is still alive!

Wan Cui: •••What?! She's alive?

Wei Yujin: *stare*

Wan Cui: •••Ha-...Have i been caught? What now... *scared*

Wei Yujin: Heh...*smile*

•••Are you scared now...?

Too late!
