Chapter 383 Wen Yi 12
The night was deep, but the Hall of Mental Cultivation was brightly lit.
The chubby orange cat was still bent over his desk reviewing memorials, showing no intention of taking a break.
He would sometimes frown in deep thought, and sometimes wield his pen rapidly.
Occasionally, I would pick up a cup of tea that had long since gone cold to moisten my throat.
Su Peisheng stood to one side, watching the time pass little by little.
That's like ants on a hot pan.
He could only ask his apprentice, Xiao Xiazi, to brew a pot of fresh tea.
After Xiaoxia brought the tea over, Su Peisheng hurried over to help Da Pangju change the tea.
They even made a commotion on purpose.
Hearing the sound, the chubby orange cat gave Su Peisheng an unpleasant look.
Su Peisheng hurriedly apologized, and then reminded the chubby orange that it was already late and it was time to rest.
The chubby orange cat rubbed its temples, sighed helplessly, and said:
"Alright, that's enough for today's memorials."
Seeing this, Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent someone in to wait on Big Fat Orange to rest.
Soon, Xiao Xiazi brought in some hot water for Da Pang Ju to wash and groom.
After washing up, the chubby orange cat, dressed in his undergarments, lay down on the dragon bed.
Su Peisheng lowered the bed curtains and then sat down in the corner.
After a busy day, the chubby orange quickly fell asleep.
Not long after falling asleep, Big Fat Orange felt as if it had entered a dark and cold place.
The surroundings were shrouded in mist, creating a dim and dark atmosphere, as if one were in an endless abyss.
He felt a vague unease, as if something was watching him from behind.
He unconsciously walked forward, his heart filled with doubt, but he dared not stop.
He vaguely heard low, mournful sobs coming from afar.
It sounded like someone was recounting endless grievances, or like the howling of wild dogs.
He looked back, but all he could see was a thick fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Big Fat Orange felt a chill run down its spine and quickened its pace, trying to escape this eerie place.
However, he found that no matter which way he went,
The surrounding environment remained unchanged, and the low, mournful sound grew clearer.
It seemed to come from all directions, surrounding him completely.
The chubby orange cat was truly panicked at this point; sweat was starting to bead on its forehead.
People say that if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.
He didn't believe in ghosts or gods, but he did believe in karma, especially the son Shilan was carrying back then.
He tacitly agreed that he had miscarried because of Qi Shi's medicine.
Over the years, his children haven't been wealthy, so he wondered if it was retribution.
Now that he's suddenly found himself in this eerie place, how could he not panic?
He quickened his pace and walked forward, only to find himself seemingly going in circles.
Just then, he suddenly saw a light not far ahead.
The big, fat orange cat was overjoyed and hurried towards the light.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Big Fat Orange saw many lanterns hanging in mid-air.
The red lanterns flickered with an eerie light in the darkness.
This made the chubby orange cat's hair stand on end, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
As the chubby orange cat hesitated, the fog in front of it gradually dissipated.
A path paved with bones was revealed, with lanterns on either side casting a faint red glow.
This made the big, fat orange cat's scalp tingle, and he dared not move forward any further.
He turned to run away, only to find a pack of vicious dogs, each as tall as a person, standing behind him.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and saliva was dripping from their mouths.
It let out a deep, terrifying roar, as if it might pounce and tear the big, fat orange at any moment.
The chubby orange cat was terrified, and large beads of sweat dripped from its forehead.
As the vicious dogs approached, the fat orange cat had no choice but to walk down the path of bones.
The chubby orange cat cautiously stepped onto the path of bones.
Each step felt like walking on ice shards, producing a harsh, squeaking sound.
He looked back and saw the vicious dogs still following him.
Blood-red eyes gleamed eerily in the darkness.
Like a messenger from hell, ready to devour him at any moment.
This made him stop paying attention to the bones beneath his feet and start running.
The big, fat orange cat raced forward, the path of white bones stretching endlessly beneath its feet.
It seemed endless. The howling of those vicious dogs grew ever closer.
He could almost feel their chilling aura spraying onto his back.
After an unknown amount of time, a gloomy palace appeared ahead.
The palace gates were open, and a faint light shone through.
Big Fat Orange didn't care about anything else and rushed in.
A deep fog filled the palace.
The surrounding area was filled with strangely shaped statues, neither human nor ghost.
Looking down on him from above
Big Fat Orange was panting heavily, trying to calm his heart, which was pounding in his throat.
"Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen, you've finally arrived."
A dignified and deep voice echoed within the palace.
It seemed to come from all directions, sending chills down Big Fat Orange's spine.
He looked up and saw that someone was sitting behind the table above.
A man wearing a crown and a black robe, with a solemn expression and an imposing presence.
Big Fat Orange was startled and asked...
"Who are you? Where is this?"
"I am the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, how dare you address me by my given name?"
The man in black robes snorted coldly, his voice filled with boundless majesty and disdain:
"Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, although you are the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty,
But here, your name is meaningless.
All beings are equal; before me, no one can escape the law of cause and effect.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange was startled. Retribution? What retribution?
Where exactly is this place? Has he already passed away?
Why? He worked diligently for decades, navigating the struggle for succession among the nine princes.
It took countless hardships to finally ascend the throne; I have only just become emperor!
A cold snort rang out, "When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, they committed countless atrocities; the Manchus slaughtered the Han people."
The Yangzhou Massacre, the Jiading Massacre, and the Jiangyin Massacre—blood flowed like rivers.
Let the underworld be filled with wronged souls, your Aisin Gioro family stole the Han people's land.
Instead of treating Han people well, they repeatedly carried out massacres out of a desire to maintain a balance between Manchu and Han.
The shaving order and the literary inquisition resulted in countless wronged souls and a surge of resentment.
These sins must be paid for.
Upon hearing this, the chubby orange cat was both terrified and aggrieved.
These crimes weren't committed by him; all he's killed over the years are corrupt officials.
"Those are the sins committed by our ancestors, why should I have to pay for them!"
The chubby orange cat loudly defended itself.
The man in black robes sneered: "You are a descendant of the Aisin Gioro clan, enjoying the blessings of this empire..."
Then one must bear the consequences.
Although you severely punish corrupt officials, the people of the world do not live a good life.
The people were living in misery, and many lost their lives at a young age.
The number of wronged souls in the underworld is increasing, making it completely blocked.
The entire underworld is busy with the plight of these wronged souls.
The underworld finally managed to persuade the wronged souls to reincarnate.
Unexpectedly, these wronged souls soon returned to the underworld due to new grievances.
There are many souls carrying merit.
I have specially arranged for you to be in the Aisin Gioro family.
You want them to enjoy worldly riches, so as to atone for the sins of the Aisin Gioro clan.
But unexpectedly, your Aisin Gioro family not only failed to allow these meritorious souls to enjoy blessings,
Instead, they die young, some not even having the chance to be born.
It turned into a pool of blood.
The Ulanara sisters in your backyard have repeatedly tried to harm your children.
You turn a blind eye to this, and your birth mother, Uya, is an accomplice of those sisters.
"I have never seen anyone as blind as you."
