"She is useless if she is alive. If she dies and becomes a fierce ghost, she will go to seek revenge on Ning Wanyin and drag Ning Wanyin down with her to be buried with her!"

Liuying reacted instantly, "I understand."

The "ghost" of Concubine Zhu went to scare Ning Wanyin. If she could scare her into confessing the murder of Concubine Zhu, then Ning Wanyin would surely die.

…

After a heavy snowfall.

It is said that Concubine Zhu in the cold palace accidentally fell and hit her head on a stone, and died on the spot.

Some rumors arose in the harem.

It was said that Ning Wanyin cut the roots of the problem and sent Concubine Zhu away.

Some people also said that Concubine Zhu died miserably and that her ghost was seen floating around.

Ning Wanyin is now in power as the empress. She punished several palace maids who were gossiping, and the rumors stopped.

But people in the palace were also in panic.

This day.

Ning Wanyin and Shunpin discussed the preparations for the full moon banquet for the princess. They talked until a little late, and on the way back to Lingxue Pavilion, it was completely dark.

Xiao Guizi held a lamp and led the way.

Xiao Xiazi and Lian Rui guarded Ning Wanyin on the left and right.

The harp and chess followed closely behind, and the two maids followed not too far behind. In addition, there were seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs who usually served in Lingxue Pavilion. (The book and painting stayed behind in Lingxue Pavilion)

suddenly……

A ghostly shadow floated past everyone's eyes.

"Ah! Ghost!" Xiao Guizi threw the lantern away in fright.

The bearers who were carrying the sedan chair got off in a hurry.

A white shadow was floating in the sky, with hair hanging down to cover its face, and bloodstains on its white clothes.

A sinister voice came out from nowhere:

"Ning Wanyin, you burned me so badly...give me back my life..."

"Ghost!" "There is a ghost!"

The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they screamed and became a mess.

Only Xiao Xiazi, Lianrui, Bangqin and Bangqi protected Ning Wanyin tightly, and the two maids also quickly stepped forward and surrounded Ning Wanyin.

"Noble Lady Zhu is here! Noble Lady Zhu is here!" a palace maid screamed.

There had long been rumors in the palace about Ning Wanyin setting fire to Concubine Zhu.

When the ghost said that the burn was so terrible... the palace maids and eunuchs automatically identified themselves with the ghost.
