Po woke up in the middle of the night and turned over, feeling that the spiritual power in his body was disappearing.

As Lord Pluto, in charge of the book of life and death, increasing blessings and longevity is a small matter.

But she is still young, and the spiritual power she accumulated with great difficulty through Feng Zhuo has been used up.

Abao pouted, and Concubine De felt that Abao had woken up.

"Abao, are you hungry?" Defei picked up Abao and fed him breast milk.

[Sweet and fragrant mother, I love her so much]

Abao gradually fell into a deep sleep with breast milk in his mouth.

Yuxiang Palace.

In the middle of the night, Concubine Rou was awakened by a nightmare.

She sat at the head of the bed in a daze, her face pale and breathing heavily.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Yuxue, Yuxue..." Concubine Rou called the maid several times, but the maid did not come in.

Concubine Rou rubbed her brows and said, "This girl sleeps really soundly at night."

Concubine Rou lifted the quilt and walked down barefoot, feeling dry mouth and tongue.

She poured herself a glass of warm water, drank it down, and then she felt dizzy.

She clapped the light impatiently, and when she caught a glimpse of a string of Buddhist beads on the table in the dim candlelight, she stepped back in fright.

"This... Buddha... Buddha beads?"

Concubine Rou looked as if she had seen a ghost.

There are 108 beads in this Buddhist rosary, and the first one is a red bead. She is very familiar with it. Isn’t this the Buddhist bead that Concubine De dropped on the ground during the day?

Later, it was given to the Queen Mother by Concubine De, and it ended up scattered on the ground, which made the Queen Mother very unhappy.

"How...how come you are here?" Concubine Rou rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not seeing things.

She took a deep breath, walked over nervously, picked up the string of Buddhist beads, and examined it carefully. "It is exactly the same as the string of Buddhist beads that Concubine De wore during the day."

At this moment, Concubine Rou’s mind was no longer dizzy, and she was no longer afraid. It was as if she was holding a talisman in her hand.

"Strange, shouldn't this string of Buddhist beads be kept away by Grandma Yun in Cining Palace? How come it appeared in my palace?" Concubine Rou thought this was quite strange.

I remembered that the Empress Dowager said during the day that Concubine De might have taken the wrong Buddhist beads.

"How could there be two identical strings of Buddhist beads in Huguo Temple? If the one in Cining Temple is fake, then this one must be real? It's over! It's over!"

Concubine Rou was frightened instantly.

During the day, she mocked Concubine De, saying that she had taken fake Buddhist beads. Now the real Buddhist beads are here. If others see them, wouldn't they think that she had replaced Concubine De's Buddhist beads?

Isn't this a trap for her?

Concubine Rou immediately felt that this string of Buddhist beads was a hot potato.

After all, she was the only one who touched Concubine De's Buddhist beads during the day. If they really investigated, with both witnesses and evidence, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.

Concubine Rou quickly put on her cloak, opened the palace door, tiptoed out of the palace, picked up a hoe and started digging a hole under the sycamore tree in the courtyard.

She wants to bury this string of Buddhist beads!

She couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply didn't say anything. Anyway, she would not let anyone find out that there were Concubine De's Buddhist beads in her palace.

Just as Concubine Rou picked up the hoe and before she started to dig, she found a strand of red silk entangled on the phoenix tree.

Concubine Rou was shocked. "Strange, who tied the red silk on my tree?"

Is this red silk?

Concubine Rou went to touch it, and as soon as she touched the red silk, she heard a scream in her ears, "Bitch! I want you to die! I want you to die!!"

Concubine Rou screamed in fright!

"Ghost - ghost!" Concubine Rou was shaking all over, and even the Buddhist beads in her hand fell down, right under the roots of the phoenix tree.

The scream in my ear suddenly became miserable. "Ah! It hurts! Go away! Ahhhh!"

Concubine Rou was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

She she she heard the cry of a female ghost again.

Concubine Rou rolled and crawled back to the palace and closed the door.

The ghost's voice in my ear became weaker and weaker. "It hurts so much! It's okay to be kicked, but where did you get a string of big Buddhist beads? Ah, it's burning me to death. It hurts so much. Someone come and save me!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Yuxue heard the voice and hurried out of the maid's room. She found that the door of Concubine Rou's palace was closed. "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Concubine Rou covered her ears, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

Yuxue patted the palace door and pushed it open. She saw Concubine Rou sitting on the floor in a panic, with mud on her feet and tears in her eyes.

Yuxue felt distressed and quickly went forward to hug Concubine Rou, "Your Majesty, did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, it's my fault. I overslept tonight."

"Tsk...Yuxue, there's a ghost outside, did you hear that? She said someone kicked her, but I didn't kick her."

Yuxue felt that her mother had some problems with her brain.

After all, ever since the fifth prince was demoted, Concubine Rou has often been in a trance.

Now he even stays awake late at night and talks about ghosts.

I have lived in Yuxiang Palace for many years, how could it be haunted?

"Oh, right, the Buddhist beads!" Concubine Rou seemed to have suddenly figured something out. She pushed Yuxue aside and ran out of the palace. She came to the phoenix tree, picked up the Buddhist beads, and then smashed the red silk wrapped around the phoenix tree with all her might.

"I told you to scare me! I'm going to smash you to death!"

Sure enough, she heard a loud wailing sound in her ears.

It was still the voice of a female ghost.

But why does this female ghost's voice sound so familiar?

It seemed to be the voice of the deceased Concubine Li.

Concubine Rou is even more numb!

She did not dare to let go of the Buddhist beads until the ball of red silk was completely broken apart by the beads. Only then did Concubine Rou sit on the ground in fear.

She held the Buddhist beads tightly in her hand.

The moonlight shines on the first red bead of the Buddhist beads, just like blood flowing inside the beads.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

The next day.

It's a nice, sunny day.

Defei carried Abao to the Imperial Garden to sunbathe.

Po lazily turned over in the cradle. Today was a wonderful day.

"Your Majesty, that seems to be...Empress Rou." Zhilan saw someone not far away and reported in a low voice.

Defei was playing with Abao and looked in the direction of Zhilan's sight.

Concubine Rou is walking towards here.

"Sister De...Sister Defei?" Concubine Rou was stunned when she saw Concubine De.

"Concubine Rou, what's wrong with you?" Concubine De frowned. When she saw Concubine Rou yesterday, she was fine. But after just one night, Concubine Rou's face turned yellow and her eyes were dark.

Despite her exquisite makeup, it couldn't hide her haggard look at this moment.

Concubine Rou is good at dancing and she pays great attention to her figure and appearance. She always looks beautiful whenever she goes out.

Concubine Rou lowered her head and curled her lips, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

[Rou Fei, you didn't sleep all night last night, didn't you?]

[There are more evil spirits on the head]

Abao lay in the cradle, staring with his big eyes at the gray mist that was faintly visible above Concubine Rou's head.

[Hmm… But there is a hint of Buddha’s light on her body, which was not there yesterday.]

Defei picked up Abao, feeling uneasy.

I don't know if Concubine Rou can be saved.

When she was first banished to the cold palace, many concubines pointed fingers at her and took advantage of her misfortune.

But Concubine Rou was the only one who didn't say anything.

She wanted to remind Concubine Rou to take care of her health, and if that didn't work, she could go ask Taoist Baiyun for a checkup.

But Concubine De didn't know how to start for a moment.

Concubine Rou was a little anxious. She held a wooden box in her hand and put it on the stone table after struggling. "Sister Defei, what is this..."

As Concubine Rou was speaking, she suddenly heard a sobbing sound not far away.
