Luo Lan also followed suit.

"Your Majesty is right. Your mother's illness is probably caused by too much resentment accumulated in her body. Return to the palace to recuperate for a while, and perhaps she will recover."

Yu'er stood there hesitantly, and Lele saw this and tried to persuade her:

"Uncle, just come back with us. I'm very bored in the palace. If you go back, we'll have company."

After pondering for a while, Yu'er nodded.

"Then I will go back to the palace first. I will come back when my mother is better."

Seeing that he agreed, Lele immediately looked at Leng Yu and Luo Lan happily.

"Father, Mother, let's go back to the palace tomorrow morning!"

Seeing him so excited, Leng Yu frowned and looked at him.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go burn incense to our ancestors and then return to the palace."

Yu Er nodded and bowed again:

"Then I will go tell my mother's servants to pack up their things and take my leave first."

"I'll go with you and help you pack."

Lele followed Yu'er and went out together.

Leng Yu then looked at Luo Lan.

"How is Concubine Li's illness? Is it serious?"

She had just met Concubine Li and had no chance to take her pulse, so she only saw the surface of her illness.

She nodded in response.

"It looks very heavy and crazy."

Leng Yu frowned and asked,

"Is it really caused by evil spirits?"

"I don't know. It's possible that the imperial mausoleum is filled with yin energy. It's possible that those with weak bodies might come here and get infected with some strange things."

Leng Yu sighed softly.

"It seems we made the right decision this time. If Concubine Li were seriously ill in the imperial mausoleum, I, the emperor, would feel guilty towards my father."

"What about the matter at the Imperial Mausoleum? Should we investigate or not?"

"As long as this matter has nothing to do with Yu'er, there's no need to investigate further. There are many such forces in the martial arts world, and we can't destroy them without a reason. We just need to have people keep an eye on them. As long as they don't cause harm to the people, I can turn a blind eye."

"If they don't cause harm to the people now, who knows if they'll become a threat to the imperial court when their power grows?"

"If a mere tens of thousands of people can threaten the imperial court, then I would rather not have the throne."

After saying this, he stood up and said solemnly:

"This is the first time I've spent the night in the Imperial Mausoleum. Come on, take a walk outside with me and enjoy the surrounding night view..."

Although Luo Lan was somewhat wary of the mysterious force surrounding the imperial mausoleum, seeing that he was not worried about it, she felt that her worries were unnecessary.

She stood up, took his hand, followed him, and walked outside...

…

The next morning, it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

After Leng Yu took Yu'er and Lele to burn incense at the ancestral tablets, they headed straight for the capital.

This morning, Concubine Li was in good condition. Before leaving, she greeted Luo Lan as usual.

Sitting in the carriage, Ah Cai pouted and muttered in confusion,

"He's a good person during the day, but becomes someone else at night. This is really strange. Could he be possessed by a ghost?"

Luo Lan shook his head in confusion.

"Some things are hard to explain. Perhaps she was weak and attracted something unclean."

"Your Highness, please stay away from her at night after returning to the palace. She'll beat up anyone she sees, so don't hurt you. No, I have to get a few more people to guard Fengyi Palace, and a few more to watch her..."

When mentioning Concubine Li, Acai seemed a little anxious.

But this is not surprising. The harem has always been peaceful and tranquil. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if a crazy person suddenly appeared.

It was already evening when they arrived at the palace. Concubine Li was arranged by Luo Lan to stay in Furong Palace, which she was more familiar with.

Yu'er's palace is adjacent to Lele's, so that the two children can be together more conveniently.

Concubine Li did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. Luo Lan ordered people to send her some delicious meals. It was said that she was in a good mood, at least much better than when she was in the imperial mausoleum.

In order to cure Concubine Li's illness, Leng Yu ordered people to invite a high-ranking monk from Lingyin Temple to perform a ritual. After examining Concubine Li, the monk said that Concubine Li was possessed by the soul of a concubine in the imperial mausoleum who died with resentment. If the soul was not removed from Concubine Li's body soon, she would not live long.

In the end, the solution the monk proposed was to perform rituals in the harem for 49 days to expel the evil spirits that had invaded her body.

In order to cure Concubine Li's illness, Leng Yu agreed.

Therefore, ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the harem has been filled with the soothing sounds of wooden fish and monks chanting scriptures...

Two months later

Hibiscus

Concubine Li sat on the couch with a calm expression. The maid massaged her legs and whispered:

"The young prince and the crown prince have a lot of fun together. They often practice martial arts and learn to read together."

"That's good. How's it going over there?"

"all the best!"

"Well, I've put so much effort into this, I can't be careless at all..."

"Don't worry, everything will proceed according to your instructions. Lord Nie sent a message asking you to resolve the palace affairs as soon as possible. I will be waiting for your notification at any time..."

"I know……"

An evil glint flashed in Concubine Li's eyes.

At this moment, someone outside reported:

"Teacher, the young prince is here."

Concubine Li sat up straight and waved to the maid beside her.

"Go out and watch over it. Don't let anyone in."

The maid nodded and walked out. At the same time, Yu'er came to Concubine Li and bowed to her.
