It was night-

The imperial concubine sat on the bed in grief. Her eyes were filled with tears. When she thought of Li Danyeng and Butler Li's deaths, she felt as if something had blocked her chest.

All her emotions surged, making it impossible for her to calm down.

He took in large gulps of air, then picked up the medicine bag beside him. Only then did the uncomfortable feeling lessen a little.

At this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared outside the window.

Senior Concubine's expression froze and she became absent-minded. She asked softly, "Who is it? "Who's outside?"

When the maid on night duty heard the sound, she quickly pushed open the door and walked over to see the imperial concubine standing in front of the window with her long hair.

"Go take a look, who's outside?"

"Outside? There's no one outside. " The young maid's face was filled with astonishment, but she still obediently left the room. She looked around and didn't see anyone around.

"Imperial Concubine, there's no one outside."

The imperial concubine's expression was especially solemn as she said in a low voice, "Impossible, I just saw someone standing outside the window. She was wearing white and was standing on the bed. Waving at me. "

Imperial Concubine's words caused the young maid's expression to freeze, her face deathly pale. "Imperial Concubine, did you see wrongly?"

"Maybe."

When the tense mood relaxed, Consort Ji returned to the bed and let the young maid guard the room. However, she could not fall asleep no matter what.

At the same time, she had also lost her lover and daughter. How could she not hate them? How could he be sleeping?

After an unknown amount of time had passed, she heard faint sounds of sobbing coming from outside. Frowning, she slowly got off the bed and discovered that the young maid was sleeping soundly and had no intention of waking up.

He walked to the window, opened it and looked around. However, he did not see anyone suspicious.

Could it be that she was imagining things because she was thinking too much?

He sighed, and at the moment he closed the door, he seemed to hear the sound of weeping again.

The crying sounds were sometimes loud and sometimes small. It sounded so unreal.

Could it be that Li Dancheng really came back to find her? He took a deep breath and reopened the window, but there was nothing to be seen.

Speaking of which, it was all because of her. If she hadn't told Li Danyeng to go home and stop her, then perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Maybe Li Danyeng was still alive and well, and it was all her fault.

The remorse in her heart grew more and more, and her condition seemed to worsen. She picked up the medicine bag and took a few sips before finally feeling much better.

In just a few short days, the news of An He Garden causing trouble spread like wildfire. Everyone was talking about it. Some said that Senior Servant Bai had returned, while others said that it was the princess, Li Danyeng.

Moreover, every night, he would hear the sound of someone crying, and it was extremely horrifying.

Although the truth still needed to be verified, there was one thing that was true: the esteemed imperial concubine was sick, and seriously ill.

"Hey, have you heard? Last night, the sound of weeping came from Peace Garden again, and there was even a white shadow floating here and there. It must be the princess who died unjustly and came back to complain to the imperial concubine. "

"What do you know? It's Senior Servant Bai. After all, she's served as the imperial concubine for so many years, and now she's mysteriously died in the palace."

Hong Ying stood in the yard and listened, then ran back into the yard and pushed the door open. Looking at Shangguan Qian who was writing, she told him all the gossip he had heard.

Shangguan Qian raised his brow, put down his brush, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands that had been stained with ink, then said carelessly: "Since Consort Ji is so sick, I should also go visit her."

"Do you need anything?" A hint of nervousness appeared on the red tassel's face as it whispered, "Do you need me to use some of those to ward off evil spirits?"

Her red tassel's appearance, which was filled with fear, yet she held it in and didn't say anything, made her cover her mouth and laugh. Her smile revealed a deeper meaning.

"No need. The so-called ghosts are in the hearts of people. We don't have ghosts in our hearts, so of course we're not afraid."

"What the princess said does make sense." Hong Ying nodded her head and said seriously.

"Where's Cui Zhu? Why didn't I see her this morning? " Shangguan Qian frowned. Usually, Cui Zhu would wait at the door for him early in the morning, but he didn't come today.

"Sister Cui Zhu has caught a cold and is sick."

"Is he sick?" Shangguan Qian Shan raised an eyebrow, a trace of pity in his eyes, "These days it's all night." She went to pick. Flowers, no wonder they get sick. "

These two girls had come to the Great Yan and suffered alongside her for a long time. She had seen all of this, and they were the people Shangguan Qian cared about the most apart from his royal father and mother.

"Let's go take a look at Emerald Bamboo first."

There were already two side halls in the west wing. One was reserved for Sun Yue, while the other was reserved for Hong Ying and Cui Zhu.

Shangguan Qian pushed open the door and entered the room. The windows were open, but there was a hint of freshness to the room, with Emerald Bamboo lying on the bed.

"Princess, why are you here?"

She took a step forward and stopped Cui Zhu who was about to get off the bed. Looking at her anxious appearance, the corner of her mouth curled up. "I heard that you're sick, so I came to see you."

"It's just little Feng Han, I've worried the princess." Cui Zhu said in shock.

"I've already asked the red tassel to boil some medicine for you. Don't tire yourself out in the future." Shangguan Qian'er lightly patted the back of her hand, but his gaze landed on Cui Zhu's shoes.

Her shoes were muddy and not very clean.

Shangguan Qian's brow furrowed, where did Cui Zhu go last night? How could shoes be muddy?

"Cui Zhu is harvested in the middle of the night. Flower caught cold? "

Cui Zhu shook her head and mumbled, "Yesterday it was possible that the window was open, so I got sick."

Shangguan Qian raised his brow, his gaze sweeping across the muddy shoes, a strange look in his eyes.

"Be careful from now on."

Cui Zhu nodded and coughed a few more times. Shangguan Qian hurriedly closed the window, his tone full of concern. "Since it's cold, don't open the window. Rest for a few more days."

"Thank you, Princess."

Shangguan Qian walked out of the side hall, just in time to see Hong Ying walking over with a medicine bowl in her hands.

"Hong Ying, it's getting cold. Don't open the windows tonight."

"Open the window?" Hong Ying had an astonished look on her face, "Yesterday, I closed the window when I was about to go to bed."

Shangguan Qian's gaze turned exceptionally dark, pursing his lips, "Bring the medicine to Cui Zhu."

Walking out of the side hall, Shangguan Qian's expression seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, he took a deep breath and walked towards the Garden of Peace.

On the way, he coincidentally bumped into Li Fengyi who was walking towards An He Garden. His face was gloomy and his mood wasn't very good.

"Feng Yi." Shangguan Qian hurried forward, looking at his slightly dusty clothes, he asked concernedly, "Did you send Princess Danfeng to the general's mansion?"

"Yes." Li Fengyi let out a sigh, and a trace of pain appeared between his brows. "Qian'er, you came to see mufei as well?"

Shangguan Qian's expression was grave, he bit his lips and said: "Yes, Feng Yi, from the maidservants in the mansion, I heard that your condition is not very good."

"I know all about it. Let's go in."

How could Li Fengyi not know about Consort Li's situation? Li Danyi's corpse was sent back to the general's estate, and Steward Li had only taken a cold seat before being dragged out. Under the double blow, he had long guessed that Consort Li would be sick and upset.

The An He Garden was cold and cheerless. The few maids and servants surrounding it were all discussing something in low voices.

"Don't you have to do anything?"

With Li Fengyi's low roar, the servants immediately dispersed.

Pushing the door open, the room was cold and chilly.

When Dong Xue, who was guarding beside the imperial concubine, heard the sound of footsteps, her entire body trembled. She quickly turned around and let out a sigh of relief when she saw Li Fengyi had caught up with Shangguan Qian.

"Third Prince, Princess."

"Mufei, how is it?" Li Fengyi was lying on the bed. The empress's heart was filled with sadness. It had only been a few days, but mufei had become like this? It seemed that the death of Li Danyeng and Manager Li had dealt a great blow to her.

"My Consort hadn't been able to sleep well these past few nights, so I've often talked about how I've seen it …" Dong Xue wanted to say something but hesitated. She didn't dare to continue.

"What did you see?" Li Fengyi asked in a deep voice.

Dong Xue hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Imperial Consort said she saw Princess Dan Feng return and cried by her ear. She even saw a white shadow …"

"Nonsense!" Li Fengyi's expression froze as he spoke in a low voice, "Give the order, if anyone dares to speak nonsense in the courtyard again, kick them out of the mansion!"

"Yes sir!" Dong Xue quickly answered.

As for the sleeping Imperial Consort, her entire body trembled as she abruptly opened her eyes. "Dan Feng, Dan Feng, don't go!"

"Mufei!" I am Feng Zhizi. " Li Fengyi hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand.

The imperial concubine's face was deathly pale. Her entire face was thin, and her large eyes looked extremely frightening.

Her eyes were especially misty, and it was only after a long time that she finally recognized Li Fengyi and softly said, "Fengyi, it's you. Did you see the Danfeng? She was here just now. "

"Mufei, you were dreaming just now." "The phoenix is no longer here. In the future, Feng Yi will always be by mufei's side."

"Danfeng …" It's gone? " She murmured, her eyes full of surprise, and shook her head, "You lied to me, the phoenix just now was still by my side."

"Imperial Concubine, you might really have a nightmare." Shangguan Qian took a step forward.

The imperial concubine looked at Shangguan Qian, and her face changed. Her blurry eyes instantly turned resentful as she pointed at Shangguan Qian, "You bad woman, you are the one who did this right? You want us to have a mother and daughter. "Yin and Yang are separated."

"Mufei!" What nonsense are you spouting! " Li Fengyi's expression changed, and he said with a deep voice, "Dong Xue, serve the imperial concubine and eat the medicine."

"Yes sir!" Dong Xue shakily brought the medicine and passed it to the imperial concubine.

"I don't want to take any medicine, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, it's all this bad woman's fault. First she harmed Senior Servant Bai, then she harmed Yulang, then she ate with her daughter, that bad woman, that bad woman!"

Shangguan Qian's expression was grave, but a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. Looking at such a crazed Imperial Consort, she felt like he was taking his revenge.

She had a principle, that if people didn't offend her, they wouldn't offend her. If they did offend her, she would pay them back double.

If Consort Ji had no intention of killing her, how could she counterattack?

"Mufei!" Li Fengyi's expression became extremely unsightly, especially after he heard the imperial concubine call out Li Danyi as his daughter. He truly felt like a bolt out of the blue.

"Feng Yi, chase her away, chase her away! She's a bad person, don't get close to her!" The imperial concubine held onto Li Fengyi's hand tightly and cried.

The medicinal herbs were scattered all over the ground, and the fragrance of the medicinal herbs filled the entire place. Dong Xue, who was by the side, trembled as she picked up the fragments from the bowl.

This was not the first time this had happened. Every day, Imperial Consort would go crazy.

Especially when she shouted out that she saw Li Danyeng, she felt extremely terrified.

"Imperial Consort, did you misunderstand me?" Shangguan Qian'er bit his lips, blaming himself a little: "If you misunderstand me, I'll just change my words."

"Feng Zhizi, Feng Zhizi, chase her away. I don't want to see her!" The imperial concubine screamed like a madman.

Li Fengyi had no other choice and sighed, "Little Qian, go out first."

Shangguan Qian's face looked troubled, he bit his lips and said: "Alright."

After saying that, he reluctantly walked out.
