Upon returning to the manor, Lin Zhaojun was in a bad mood. His face was dark, just short of the words' Don't come near me '.

Everyone in the mansion was trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe. They were afraid that if they angered the wangfei, they wouldn't be able to walk away with their tails between their legs.

Lin Zhaojun's mood turned even worse as he looked at the bunch of people he feared of taking their lives!

After Lin Zhaojun hastily ate dinner, he said that he was tired and needed to take a bath before resting.

No one in the manor dared to raise any doubts, so they quickly went down to prepare.

Bath before going to bed was a must, but there was no bath facilities here, so taking a bath was troublesome.

Zi Yan faced Lin Zhaojun and said, "Princess, I've just finished eating. I'm afraid I'll hurt myself in the bath right now. I'd better rest for a while!" After a while, Zi Yan ordered some servants to set up a large wooden bucket in Lin Zhaojun's room, instructing them to bring the water and sprinkle the rose petals.

Lin Zhaojun felt that being served by others to bathe was a troublesome matter. Thus, he called for his maidservants to step down and undress himself, immersing his exhausted body in the hot water. This truly was a comfortable feeling.

She had just wanted to get out of the shower and get a good night's sleep. She was tired enough during the day. And now, he couldn't wait to soak in it for a while.

Perhaps it was because he was tired during the day, but he quickly fell asleep in the wooden barrel.

For some reason, Elder Lin Zhaojun had a feeling that someone was staring at him.

However, his eyelids were too heavy to open.

He then thought that it might be Zi Yan or some other young maid. Moreover, the security in the manor was quite tight, so he relaxed his guard and went to sleep.

Lin Zhijun's sixth sense was not wrong. In the shadows of the room, there was indeed a black shadow staring at her.

After a while, Zi Yan came in to wake Lin Zhaojun up. Lin Zhaojun crawled sleepily into bed, unwilling to think too much into it.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Zhaojun woke up in a daze. His face was rubbing against the silk pillow, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

His mind went blank for a moment. He thought he was still in the villa. It took him a while to remember his situation.

Suddenly, he heard a soft 'ka ka' sound not too far away, as if someone was moving his joints.

There was someone!

And right by her bed.

Lin Zhaojun immediately came to his senses, as if he had a thought with her. A cold hand began to move around her body.

Lin Zhijun held his breath, and waited until that hand reached his face. Then, he flipped and held it down, wanting to subdue it.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhaojun suddenly felt dizzy, and his whole body felt weak. His own body was no longer the powerful body of the Dark Assassin Empire's empress.

As the adopted daughter of the Rong King's estate, as well as the imperial concubine of the second prince Ye Li Yuan, where could she force her body to go?

As such, his reaction was somewhat slow.

By the time Lin Zhaojun had fully awakened, the hand had already disappeared along with him.

Lin Zhaojun opened his eyes wide in the pitch-black night. In his dazed state, Lin Zhaojun felt that this was most likely just a dream of his.

After a long while, Lin Zhaojun could no longer resist the strong drowsiness and fell back into a deep sleep.

Before Lin Zhaojun fell asleep, his last thought was that tomorrow would be a new day.

That night was not an ordinary night for those in charge of keeping watch. It was especially so for those in charge of keeping watch. No less than five people expressed that they had seen a black shadow last night and it had suddenly disappeared. Before the sky brightened, the rumor of the Wang Mansion making trouble for the ghost had already spread among the maidservants and servants.

"Hongzhi, do you think what Hongmei said was true?" A sweet, young girl's voice came from the palace's kitchen.

"What did Hongmei say?" The casual voice of another girl mixed with the sound of chopping meat could be heard from the chopping board, causing those who heard it to not be able to hear it clearly.

Suddenly, a pretty girl dressed in a group of yellow clothes ran to the kitchen window, stuck her head out from the window, looked around, then walked in front of another girl in a dark green dress and mysteriously lowered her voice. "Hongmei was on guard at night, but when she got up, she discovered a ghost in front of the princess' room. She stood there for a long time, scared to the point that Hongmei peed her pants … "Ugh!"

The young girl called "Hong Xing" covered the girl with her yellow clothes. After confirming that there was no one around her, she scolded in a low voice, "You're courting death! Hong Rui, you're too gutsy. How dare you spread words like these around? "Aren't you afraid that if wangfei finds out, she'll …" Hong Xing let go of Hong Rui's hand and made a gesture to wipe her neck.

Hong Rui immediately said, feeling wronged, "It's not like I said that, I just felt that Hong Mei was lying and that she was just saying those words. Besides, how could there be a shadow outside the room? Even if there were, it would still be a shadow … "Woo woo …"

Hong Xing once again covered Hong Rui's mouth with her hand. If it wasn't for her sister, she would have immediately picked up the kitchen knife and chopped Hong Rui into minced meat.

"I'll say it again. If you dare to say such words again, you won't even need the princess to know. It would be better for me to just finish you off, lest you implicate your entire family. Do you know that?" Hong Xing was scared out of her wits by her sister.

The devilish brat was something that made people hate him the most!

With Hong Rui's unrestrained personality, she would get into trouble sooner or later. When the time comes, she would harm herself and others.

Hong Xing said that it was really tiring for her to work with her sister who didn't understand the ways of the world.

It was her little sister after all, so Hong Xing patiently warned her, "Hong Rui, listen carefully. No matter what other people say, don't spread the word. Do you understand? "

"Ugh …" Hong Rui's mouth was tightly covered by her elder sister, so she could only nod to show that she knew.

"The wangfei has a body of gold and is naturally blessed by the gods. With Ghastly Shadow outside the wangfei's room, it's impossible to speak nonsense." Do you know? "

Hong Rui nodded her head again, and Hong Xing released the hand that was covering her mouth. She used both hands to hold her younger sister's face and said, "There's someone outside of esteemed wangfei's room in the middle of the night. It's even more important not to speak carelessly about this sort of thing." The matters of big figures are not something that small fry like us can criticize. Otherwise, it would bring about a calamity, do you understand? "

Seeing her elder sister's incomparably serious expression, Hong Rui finally realized the seriousness of the situation. She immediately expressed that she would definitely do more things in the future and not cause any trouble, bringing harm to herself and her family.

Hong Xing hugged her sister in fear and patted her on the back. After a while, she let go and picked up the kitchen knife to continue chopping meat. She ordered, "Go, wash all the vegetables in the basket!"

The sound of chopping meat came from the kitchen again, causing those who had just woken up to panic.

Sigh, the mansion hasn't been peaceful lately! It was also true that the tenth day of next month would be the day that Princess Li Yuan would accompany the Second Prince in death. How could it be peaceful? Hong Xing thought in her heart.
