The funeral bell rang in the palace, and all civil and military officials knelt and kowtowed.

"Go to the inner palace and find out what's going on."

The ministers who had not yet left the palace were excited and nervous, pacing back and forth in the Golden Throne Hall.

"Master Tian, ​​do you want to go and find out?"

Tian Maosheng's trusted ministers couldn't help but come closer.

They did not want the court officials to speculate. His Majesty had just left in a hurry, and the death knell had sounded not long after. If there were any changes in the palace, they could make plans early.

"Why are you panicking? Those blind people will suffer the consequences!"

Tian Maosheng observed Li Yu's heart through his nose and mouth. He knew that Li Yu had taken various strange elixirs such as the Longevity Pill and the Hundred Flowers Pill, so the death knell in the harem was definitely not for Li Yu.

"But my lord..."

The maternal families of the princes are almost going crazy. Since they cannot get any information from within the palace, they keep asking their trusted aides to send messages outside.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has passed away. Would you like to have the concubines, princes and princesses in the harem come to see her off?"

The steward was a little hesitant. The empress dowager's body should be sent to Anhe Palace, but His Majesty was slow to give any instructions.

"Don't be impatient, father-in-law, wait a moment!"

Tian Tian formed seals with her hands and forced the empress dowager's soul out of her body.

The confused empress dowager was taken into the space by Tian Tian.

"Thank you, Father, for arranging the affairs of my great-grandmother. I have to go there to help her with something, so..."

Tian Tian felt a little guilty. She didn't have time to comfort this sad big golden leg.

"Little aunt...please be careful!"

Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he instantly thought of the old emperor. Perhaps his guesses were true.

"Father has dealt with the Du family. Now that Grandmother is gone, all the honors and favors of the Du family should be returned!"

Tian Tian gets angry whenever she thinks of that bastard Dewey.

"Du family? What's the inside story?"

Li Yu gave a look and the steward quickly retreated.

"It's a long story. Before my great grandmother got married, she had a childhood sweetheart named Du Wei..."

"The death of Du Wei made the Grandmother feel guilty for many years, so she gave the Du family the highest honor. But two days ago, I got the news that Du Wei's grandson did not commit suicide for love. He hid in the countryside and married and had children. He is so happy!"

Tian Tian didn't say that the Queen Mother was obsessed with her childhood sweetheart, but it made Li Yu's face turn dark.

"I'll take care of this matter, just go ahead and do your work!"

Tian Tian still couldn't see through Li Yu's thoughts, but it didn't matter whether she could see through it or not, as long as the Du family paid back what they owed the empress dowager over the years.

Tian Tian had no time to care about how to deal with the empress dowager's funeral. She wanted to comfort the empress dowager's soul as soon as possible.

"Mother!"

The old emperor's eyes almost fell to the ground when he saw the empress dowager appearing in the space in a daze.

"Grandma's soul just left her body, and she's still a little weak. Grandpa, don't worry, she'll be fine in a while!"

After just a stick of incense, the empress dowager seemed to have woken up.

"Your Majesty!"

"I have seen the emperor. It seems that I am really dead. Where is this place?"

The Queen Mother was shocked when she saw Tian Tian.

"Grandmother, this is my space, and it is also the underworld..."

Tian Tian clenched her fists nervously.

"Then how can we get to the Naihe Bridge?"

The Queen Mother now had nothing in her mind and was determined to go to the Naihe Bridge to find her childhood sweetheart Du Wei.

"What is mother doing by the Naihe Bridge? That's not a good place. Our little Tuanzi is the best here. Mother can practice with her son. When Tianjia Village is built, Old Tian and his family will come, and we can live together happily."

The old emperor gritted his teeth secretly. He had known about Dewey's affairs for a long time. If Dewey had not been reincarnated, he would have thrown that guy into the frying pan!

"Oh, I don't understand. I went to Naihe Bridge to fulfill a wish!"

The empress dowager's face was full of smiles, while the old emperor looked at Tian Tian with a worried look on his face.

"In that case, I will go with Grandmother!"

The truth of the matter will be revealed sooner or later and cannot be concealed at all.

The Naihe Bridge was bustling with people, and the ghosts waiting in line to drink Meng Po soup stretched their necks and squeezed forward.

"Be quiet, everyone. If you fall down, you won't be able to get up. Either your soul will be scattered or you will be reincarnated. It's your choice!"

From time to time, one or two people were squeezed off the crowded Naihe Bridge.

Under the Naihe Bridge is the extremely peaceful Wangchuan River, but unfortunately there are countless soul beasts in the Wangchuan River waiting with their mouths wide open.

"Is this the Naihe Bridge? This bridge is really solid!"

Tian Tian pulled the Queen Mother and stood in mid-air over the Wangchuan River, watching the lively scene on the bridge.

"Grandmother, I've already looked at the Naihe Bridge, and there's no soul stopping there!"

It only takes a moment to get from the space to the Naihe Bridge. In the underworld, Tian Tian can reach wherever she wants to go just by relying on her thoughts.

"Will he~fall down?"

The Queen Mother nervously grabbed Tian Tian's hand, her heart trembling.

"Not really. Although the soul that is squeezed out will be devoured by the soul beast, the remaining soul will remain on the soul beast!"

Tian Tian lowered her eyes slightly. The Queen Mother was already dead, so it shouldn't matter even if she knew the truth, right?

"Du Wei lied to the great grandmother back then. He is not dead at all. I checked the Book of Life and Death. He died in the countryside of Xuzhou at the age of 73. He had many wives and concubines before his death!"

"Moreover, he had a large group of children, all of whom were sent to the Du family in Beijing to be raised. The mother of the eldest son Du Quanshuang also knew about it!"

This incident was undoubtedly the biggest blow to the Queen Mother. Tian Tian did not dare to look up when she said this, but after she finished speaking, there was no reaction from the Queen Mother for a long time.

"Grandmother!"

"Little Dumpling, the Great Empress wants to take a walk on the bridge!"

He regretted so much that his face looked so calm that it was a little scary.

"It's simple. Just go for a walk and relax!"

Tian Tian waved her sleeves lightly, and all the ghosts on the Naihe Bridge retreated under the bridge.

“This bridge is really unique!”

The Queen Mother seemed to be truly admiring the scenery, looking at the ancient and intricate patterns on the bridge as she walked.

"This bridge is a magical device. I placed it here because I found it too difficult for them to cross the river!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood, Tian Tian felt relieved and did not mention the Du family at all.

Meng Po was holding a spoon in one hand and a bowl of soup in the other. It seemed that His Majesty had come to interfere with her business again. How come he was still as troublesome as he was when he was a child even though he had grown up?

But Meng Po was very happy. She was already very satisfied that His Majesty could come to the bridge to see her.

"Look! Is that your royal grandfather?"

Walking up to Meng Po, the Queen Mother suddenly pointed towards the bridge.

"where……"

"Grandmother!"

As Tian Tian turned her head, the Queen Mother snatched the bowl from Meng Po's hand and drank it all in one gulp, her eyes instantly becoming blurred.

"Little Dumpling, it's not that the Great Grandmother doesn't want to accompany you, it's really that the Great Grandmother doesn't want you to suffer that excruciating pain day and night in the future. Let the Great Grandmother reincarnate!"

It seemed that her memory was fading away bit by bit. The Queen Mother quickly took Tian Tian's hand to comfort her. Her heart was already dead, and she would not be happy even as a ghost. It would be better to start over again.
