She originally didn't want to come.

I agreed to go back to my parents’ home today.

Concubine Rou sighed, her eyes a little swollen, "You don't know, I've been feeling depressed lately, and I miss Lao Wu so much, but the Emperor has issued an order not to allow Lao Wu to return to the capital.

The Third Prince has always been by your side, so you naturally cannot understand how much I, as a mother, miss my son.

Especially during the time when Lao Wu was away, I always heard a woman’s strange voice in Qixiang Palace at night, just like…"

Concubine Rou spoke, glancing around until she was sure there was no one around before she dared to continue, "It's exactly the same voice as Concubine Li's!"

Huipin frowned, "Sister Roufei, are you missing the fifth prince so much that you are hallucinating? Concubine Li died more than three months ago, how can you hear her voice?"

Besides, it wasn't you who killed Concubine Li, so even if Concubine Li's ghost came to take her life, it wouldn't come after you."

"That's what I thought, too. It was Concubine Li who went to find Concubine De and tried to frame her, which led to the Emperor banishing her to the cold palace and causing her to commit suicide by jumping into a well. If she wanted to find someone, she should have gone to find Concubine De.

But it's strange, I can hear her screaming every night, it's really annoying.

Today I must let Taoist Master Baiyun show me."

"If you have an illness, you should treat it. The Taoist priest is not a doctor." Hui Bin said weakly, "Hey, Sister Roufei, do you think those are Princess Changping and Concubine De?"

Concubine Rou looked in the direction Concubine Hui pointed.

Concubine De didn't expect to meet Concubine Rou and Concubine Hui in the Taoist temple.

After just a few days of not seeing each other, Concubine De felt that Concubine Rou looked much more haggard.

[Good guys, this concubine Rou is haunted by a ghost]

[The Yang energy is getting weaker and weaker. It is estimated that within two months, Concubine Rou will die.]

Concubine De frowned.

After listening to Abao's thoughts over the past few months, she has almost understood what some of the strange words mean.

For example, if you say "burp fart", it means you are about to die.

Then Concubine Rou asked, "Are Concubine De and the princess also here to see Taoist Master Baiyun?"

De Fei nodded, "Yes."

She hesitated, thinking of a way to remind Concubine Rou, but how should she start?

"It's getting late. Princess and Concubine De, please go in first." Concubine Rou spoke first.

It is not easy for Taoist Master Baiyun to come back once, and every time he comes back, many people come to the Taoist temple.

However, Taoist Master Baiyun only has a few customers every time he meets with them.

Defei glanced at Changping and Shangguan Ze.

No one knew what was going on with Shangguan Ze. Since arriving at the Taoist temple, he had been talking to Changping in a whisper.

Defei held Abao in her arms and was too embarrassed to disturb their conversation.

"You guys go in first, I'll wait here for a while."

Concubine Rou was not humble either, "Well, Huipin, you stay here with Concubine De for a while."

Hui-pin was delighted. She had not wanted to follow Concubine Rou in. "Okay, Sister Rou, I'll wait for you here."

Huibin and Defei did not interact much in their daily lives, and the number of times they met was also very few.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

The atmosphere was quite awkward.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going at the door not far away.

Abao's eyes rolled around.

[The atmosphere in this Taoist temple is strangely familiar]

Defei raised her eyebrows.

Could it be that little Abao was a cultivator in his previous life, and that he had a sense of déjà vu when he entered the Taoist temple?

No one noticed that while Concubine De was interacting with little Abao, Concubine Hui quietly lowered her head.

A soft little bead slipped out of his sleeve and fell to the ground.

The little bead seemed to have grown legs, and slowly crawled towards Concubine De——

【There is evil spirit! 】

[How can there be evil spirits in such a Feng Shui treasure land with outstanding people and beautiful scenery! 】

A Bao was lying on Concubine De's shoulder when he suddenly saw a black aura rising from Concubine De's feet.

Po lightly hooked his little finger, and a small cluster of spiritual energy was about to hit the black energy.

But I saw it suddenly sneak under Concubine De's feet.

Po, stop——

[Mom, stop! Don't move!]

【There are bugs! 】

Defei suddenly felt something biting the sole of her foot, which was as painful as a needle. Then her whole body went numb and her arms around Abao loosened.

Po was about to fall from her arms—

"Po!"

Defei screamed, her body and limbs went limp and she couldn't muster any strength.

At this moment, Concubine Rou, who had just walked out, was thinking about what Taoist Baiyun had just told her in a daze.

My head was buzzing, and then I heard Concubine De’s scream.

Then I saw Po about to fall to the ground.

Concubine Rou ran over and caught Abao at the last moment. She sat down on the ground with a plop, and her tailbone felt numb and painful from the shock.

De Fei came back to her senses, "A Bao!"

De Fei's face was full of self-blame, and she was about to cry, "My precious daughter, I'm sorry, I was too careless just now."

How did I fail?

How come Po almost fell down?

"Sister Roufei, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Rou sat on the ground, her waist ached and her butt was about to break. She forced herself to stand up and said, "I'm fine, I just fell. Is the Tenth Princess okay?"

"Luckily you showed up in time, otherwise Po would have fallen."

Concubine Rou laughed and said, "I'm glad that the Tenth Princess is alright."

The movement here soon attracted the attention of Princess Changping and Prince Consort.

The two of them gathered around, and Concubine Hui and Concubine Rou were also there.

Defei coaxed Abao softly, fearing that she had frightened her just now.

"Sister Defei, I was so scared. I was distracted just now and the accident happened. Fortunately, the little princess is fine." Huibin was panic-stricken and regretful.

[It turned out to be Hui-bin. I finally found the real culprit.]

Defei: Huibin?

Could it be that just now——

[Mother, this Empress Hui is a bad woman]

[Just now I saw Hui-bin released the evil snake. No wonder Concubine Rou has always been possessed by evil spirits recently. It is probably Hui-bin who gave Concubine Rou the evil spirits.]

[If this continues, Concubine Rou will be killed by Concubine Hui sooner or later, and no one will know how Concubine Rou died.]

[Concubine Rou would never have imagined that her good sister Concubine Hui would make things difficult for her every day.

This is what is called a good plastic sister, who will stick up for you in public but stab you in the back for her own sake.]

[This Hui-pin seems innocent, but in fact she is very scheming. Not only does she want to harm Concubine Rou, she also wants to harm my mother and baby.]

Concubine De's face darkened.

This reminded her of the time when Zhilan dropped her Buddhist beads during the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. In addition to Concubine Rou, Concubine Hui was also present at the banquet.

Could it be that Huibin had already taken action against her regarding the issue of genuine and fake Buddhist beads?

"De Fei, what happened just now?" Changping put his thoughts into his mind and walked over quickly.

De Fei lowered her eyes, "I just sprained my ankle, and that's why the accident happened."

Changping naturally didn't believe it.

She heard what Abao was thinking.

It is normal for women in the harem to fight with each other. After all, when several women revolve around one man, friction is inevitable.

But even so, Changping would not allow anyone to harm Defei and Abao!
