The eunuchs and maidservants trembled in pain, but they did not dare to make a sound or dodge the whip. Otherwise, Feng Weigeng would punish them even more harshly.

Yu Yunxi watched from the dark angrily. She could not bear watching the eunuchs and maidservants being treated like livestock.

Suddenly, an extremely thin white cat caught her attention. It looked like it had been starved for a long time. She was somehow reminded of Little White, who was in the Revival Hall. She snapped her fingers softly, attracting the cat’s attention.

The cat looked over before it walked over with its little paws.

Yu Yunxi gently stroked its head before pointing in Feng Weigeng’s direction.

The white cat seemed very intelligent. It pounced toward Feng Weigeng and scratched his face with its claws, causing him to grimace in pain.

“Where did this b*stard come from? How dare you hurt me? I’m going to kill you!” Feng Weigeng roared. He did not call for help and chased after the cat.

However, as he chased after the cat, he soon discovered that the white cat had disappeared.

It was at this moment that Yu Yunxi, who wore a veil, appeared in front of him. She looked at him coldly.

“Men, someone…”

Feng Weigeng wanted to shout, “Assassin!” but before he could finish his words, two silver needles shot out from Yu Yunxi’s hand and pierced his throat. He touched his neck, trying to get the silver needles out as he launched into a violent coughing fit. Although it was difficult to speak, he did not forget to threaten her.

“You… Who are you? How dare you hurt me? I’ll kill you and your entire family for this!”

Yu Yunxi slowly walked over before she held his shoulder with one hand. When he tried to raise his hand to attack her, she quickly used a few more silver needles.

With that, he could no longer move and could only stand there stiffly as he glared at her resentfully.

“You’re so young, but you’re already so vicious. It seems like you need to be taught a lesson, ” Yu Yunxi said icily as she looked down at him, thinking about how to teach him a lesson. Her eyes glinted coldly as she said, “Since you like to dirty your hands, why don’t I break your hands?”

Feng Weigeng glared at Yu Yunxi, as though he was saying, “How dare you?!” His eyeballs looked as though they were going to pop out of their sockets.

Yu Yunxi did not waste time talking to him. She quickly inserted a few more silver needles, and when she withdrew her hands, he had already fainted on the ground. Following that, she quickly removed the silver needles on him.

When he woke up, he would no longer be able to use his right hand and he would no longer be able to speak. With this, he would not be able to act arrogantly in the future. As for whether he would be cured, it would have to depend on the ability of the imperial doctors.

Yu Yunxi rotated her wrist slightly. She felt the frustration in her heart lessened a little at this moment.

Feng Weigeng should be glad that he was in the capital, not Xinan. Otherwise, he would not be able to keep his life. She had to be restrained when taking action in the capital, after all.

Yu Yunxi looked away from Feng Weigeng, preparing to leave. Suddenly, she felt something tugging at the hem of her skirt. She looked down and saw the white cat pawing at her skirt.

“You want to follow me?”

Yu Yunxi immediately guessed its thoughts.

The white cat leaped into her arms, trying to cling to her. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you have a master?” She naturally would not take in a cat with an owner.

The white cat meowed and rubbed itself against her, acting cute.

“No master? Alright, considering you don’t have a master and you helped me earlier, I’ll take you in,” Yu Yunxi said softly. Coincidentally, Little White also needed a playmate. She hoped that Little White would not scare the white cat.

After that, Yu Yunxi carried the cat and turned to leave. She did not plan to use her internal energy. After all, since she was here, she wanted to explore the master. At the same time, she could see how tight the security was in the imperial palace.

Since she had been here quite a few times, she knew where the imperial guards were stationed. She easily avoided the imperial guards as she wandered around. While she was walking around the harem, she suddenly heard a few maidservants holding lanterns and whispering to each other.

“Did you hear? Something appeared at the Cold Palace again.”

“Are you sure? I’ve been in the palace for five years, but I’ve never heard that there are ghosts there,” a timid maidservant said.

The other maidservant scoffed and said in a low voice, “It wasn’t haunted before. However, just before you came, there was a major incident. You naturally don’t know about it.”

“What happened?” the maidservant asked in a trembling voice.

“Hush! It’s taboo to mention this in the palace. You only need to know it has something to do with the Empress.”

“What? Let’s hurry and leave…”

Yu Yunxi watched as the maidservants hurried away. Her eyes flashed as she thought to herself, ‘What happened five years ago? Cold Palace? What does it have to do with the Empress?’

She held the white cat in her arms, lost in her thoughts for a long time. Unknowingly, she was getting closer and closer to the Cold Palace. When she realized she had gone the wrong way, she stopped. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a woman in white walking into the Cold Palace.

It was dark, and a cloud of mist seemed to swirl around the woman’s feet. It looked extremely sinister and terrifying.

Yu Yunxi patted the white cat and asked, “Should we go in and have a look?”

The white cat rubbed against her.

“Alright, let’s have a look,” Yu Yunxi murmured softly.

Contrary to the maidservants who avoided the Cold Palace like a plague, Yu Yunxi advanced. She leaped onto the roof and surveyed the place. It was desolate, eerie, and cold just like its name.

A gust of wind blew past, causing goosebumps to erupt on her flesh.

‘Strange. I saw that woman walk in earlier. Where did she go?’

She carried the cat and jumped down.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves and dust.

She approached a dilapidated wooden door that rattled when the wind blew.

She crouched down and studied the ground. She frowned and murmured, “Strange. She clearly walked here earlier. Why aren’t there any footprints?”

Suddenly, a sinister voice rang from behind.

“Miss, are you looking for me?”
