The Grand Steward of the Ghost Emperor Palace was a woman of exceptional grace and allure named Gui Sanniang. Originally a collateral member of the Eastern Ghost Emperor's clan, she had won the deep appreciation and trust of Guizhang Tian thanks to her exceptional competence and sharp intellect. At that very moment, a cry of profound anguish pierced the air, reaching Gui Sanniang's ears. The sound came directly from where the Ghost Emperor resided. Hearing this, Gui Sanniang did not dare hesitate for a second. She immediately took flight, appearing before the Ghost Emperor in the blink of an eye.
The sight that greeted her eyes made Gui Sanniang shudder from head to toe. There sat the usually formidable and invincible Ghost Emperor, slumped in utter despair with a look of profound grief. It was the first time in her life she had ever seen him in such a state! Gui Sanniang's heart tightened instantly; her intuition told her that a cataclysmic event had occurred. Forcing herself to steady her mind, she asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what on earth has happened to plunge you into such devastating grief?"
Guizhang Tian raised his eyes to look at Gui Sanniang, his gaze brimming with agony. His lips trembling slightly, he choked out, "Meier... it's Meier... I actually killed her with my own hands!!" At these words, he broke down, completely unable to speak through his tears.
