He was in his early forties and had just taken over the position of Pavilion Master, while the steward was already in his sixties.
The butler said, "Based on my years of experience, I think that if this is an act, it is too realistic. The fear on the employer's body seems to come from her bones. You can feel the chill emanating from her even from a distance. There may be more to this than meets the eye."
After recalling it, Liu Shang also felt that the employer seemed to be genuinely terrified, trembling all over when he went outside.
"So what do you think happened?"
The butler leaned down and lowered his voice: "It can only be explained by fate. From now on, we must not touch any tasks related to Princess Feiluan."
"This time, the employer was unlucky, which means that God gave us a chance. But next time, it might not be the same."
Liu Shang pondered, "This Princess Feiluan is actually quite amazing."
"Indeed, she made outstanding military achievements in her teens and rose from county princess to county princess. If she weren't a person of destiny, how could she have been so dazzling?"
As Qiao Lian'er listened to the two praising her, she stroked her chin. Just half a month ago, they wanted to kill her, but now they were praising her instead. It was quite interesting.
She went to Consort Han's palace again.
The season is transitioning to spring, and even though the weather has warmed up, Consort Han feels chilled to the bone.
She was curled up on the soft couch, wrapped in several thick blankets, with a stove surrounded by a thick layer of charcoal.
Even so, Consort Han was still complaining of being cold.
"It's cold, so cold. Turn up the fire and close those two windows too."
“Your Highness, burning too much charcoal is poisonous. It’s safer to go outside. We can’t keep the windows closed.” As she spoke, Granny Zhou had the servants bring over two more stoves.
The servants in the palace were already sweating profusely, their cheeks flushed, but Consort Han was pale, as if she were from another world.
"Get out, all of you, get out."
Consort Han waved her hand, and all the servants withdrew.
Then Consort Han reached out her hand to Granny Zhou, who quickly sat down and took her hand.
She was terrified, but she forced herself to be brave in order to take care of Consort Han.
"Do you think it's possible that Qiao Lian'er turned into a ghost and is following us, watching our every move?"
"Your Majesty, Qiao Lian'er is a living person, how could she be a ghost? Perhaps we have been targeted by a powerful person who is quick and knows some unorthodox techniques, so they have pulled this stunt."
"Who could it be? And who could it be?" Consort Han's teeth chattered, her eyes unfocused, looking left and right. Her hair was disheveled and hanging down, making her look like a mentally unstable person.
"This servant has already sent people to investigate. We must find out the truth and give Your Highness an explanation so as to appease Your Highness."
"Will there be any result? This matter seems like it was done by a ghost." Consort Han shuddered again as she spoke.
Although she was terrified, she was mostly conscious and knew that nothing could be found out by investigating such a thing, as it was full of strangeness and mystery.
She'd hired hitmen before, and it'd always gone smoothly, unlike this time, where something felt off.
She thought of Qiao Lian'er and felt that the girl was also like an incarnation of a ghost, or that she was possessed by something.
The Crown Prince's plan was so perfect, yet she still fell for it. This time, she experienced firsthand the impact of such a bizarre failure.
At this moment, a eunuch rushed in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming this way."
