Chapter 1072: The dead but not stiff are zombies

To be contaminated by corpse qi, either the other party has been in contact with corpses for a long time, or has been in contact with zombies.

The palace does not have a charity house, and palace people are usually taken out of the palace for disposal on the same day when they die, so the former

is impossible. It must be the latter.

There are many kinds of corpses. The ones that become stiff after death are zombies, and the ones that are not stiff after death are zombies. Zombies are generally those who have just died and "come back to life" not long ago.

Because they have just died, their appearance is not much different from that of ordinary people, and this is also the existence that is most easily overlooked.

The palace is obviously suppressed by dragon qi, and zombies can still appear under such circumstances, which shows that the imperial city is unlucky.

Although Jiang Xuxu had the answer in his heart, he did not plan to take the initiative to help the other party.

After all, judging from her appearance, this female official named Su Shang was not innocent in being entangled.

Because Jiang Xuxu planned to wait and see, Su Shang's plan to stay and keep watch naturally did not come true.

She walked back to the palace with heavy steps.

When she stepped into the house, although there was a charcoal fire burning in the house, Su Shang felt cold. She looked at the person lying motionless on the bed, and she felt that the person lying there looked like a corpse.

She wanted to rush over and grab the person and ask her whether she was a human or a ghost.

But she didn't dare.

She was afraid that the other person was not a human, and she was even more afraid that everyone would find out that it was her who caused Chun Yan to no longer be a human...

Thinking that there was still Qingge in the house, and nothing happened the whole night last night, Su Shang forced herself to pretend that nothing had happened.

In a few days, after the ceremony of crowning the empress, as a lady-in-waiting of the empress, she may naturally move into the courtyard of the harem. Then, she will not have to stay in the same room with the empress anymore.

Thinking of this, Su Shang relaxed a little and was about to convince herself to go to sleep peacefully.

Suddenly, she felt a strange gaze. Su Shang subconsciously looked in the direction of Chun Yan, but was met with a pair of cold and chilly eyes in the dark.

Su Shang's heart almost jumped to her throat in an instant.

She wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be strangled by something and she couldn't make a sound.

She wanted to comfort herself that it was too dark at night and she couldn't see clearly, but those eyes were indeed staring at her like that, without any emotion that a human should have.

Su Shang closed her eyes and dared not look anymore. However, even so, she could still clearly feel that penetrating gaze, like a thorn in her back, following her like a shadow.

Su Shang felt that she was almost going crazy.

She didn't know how she survived that night. She even felt that her soul and body had been separated. She

was in a daze until Qingge, who lived in the same room, finally moved. She staggered to her feet and got up.

Looking at Chunyan's bed again, she saw that she was sleeping face up with a peaceful look on her face.

It looked as if the person who was staring at her all night last night was not her. Even

so, Su Shang felt that she could not bear it anymore.

Whether it was an illusion or a psychological problem, she must leave this room today!

If she continues to stay in this room, she will die!

With a pair of dark eyes and a pale face, Su Shang came to the courtyard where Jiang Xuxu was, and wanted to ask the nanny to let her keep watch tonight. As a result, she was stopped by Li Mama before she could even step into the courtyard.

Li Mama said with a stern face,

"Look at what a ghost you are. You are not afraid of scaring Miss Feng with such a face. You are not needed today. Go back and have a rest, take care of yourself, and then come back to serve."

Hearing Li Mama asking her to go back, Su Shang's already horrible face became even more horrible. It was only two nights, but her cheeks were visibly sunken, and with the dark circles under her eyes and the grayish face, she looked even more horrible.

But she was still unaware, and she still held onto Li Ma'am and begged,

"Ma'am, please don't ask me to go back. I just want to stay and serve Miss Feng. I promise to take good care of myself and not scare the girl. Please give me another chance..."

Li Ma'am looked at her desperately begging despite her terminal illness, and her expression was a little indescribable.

She had suspected Su Shang before when Chun Yan disappeared, but now Chun Yan is back well. Although she caught a cold, she is still alive and there is no news of any trouble. Li Ma'am no longer has much grudge against Su Shang.

Seeing her like this now, he softened his tone,

"I'm not going to replace you, but you're not suitable to serve in the front in your current state. His Majesty will come to visit today. If you offend His Majesty again, I can't save your life."

After much persuasion, he sent her back as she was.

Jiang Xuxu had woken up a long time ago and was doing morning exercises in the courtyard. She heard the noise from the outer courtyard in the distance, and soon saw Li Ma Ma walk in.

She glanced at Li Ma Ma's arm. The hand that was pulled was obviously stained with a little black air. After thinking for a while, she called her and picked up a cup of tea on the table,

"Ma Ma, I don't want to drink this honey tea, you drink it for me."

Although Li Ma Ma was surprised and puzzled when she heard this, she didn't show any expression on her face. She smiled and walked over to answer respectfully, then took the tea and drank it without hesitation.

Not to mention that this was tea that the young lady had given her as a reward, even if the other party had put drugs in the tea, as servants, they had to drink it when their master asked.

The tea was originally served by Nanny Li, and it was still the same as when it was served, but it seemed a little different when she drank it, like a warm current flowing through her body, and her slightly sore arms also relaxed a little.

Nanny Li did not doubt it, and smiled and thanked her after drinking it, and asked her if she wanted anything for lunch.

Jiang Xuxu responded casually, and suddenly stood up and said,

"I want to go out for a walk."

Nanny Li was about to follow her when she heard Jiang Xuxu say,

"Mammy, you don't have to follow me, I'll just walk around the yard."

After saying that, she went back to the house, put on a cloak, and went out without caring about the other party's reaction. She went

out of the house and hid her breath, and then followed Su Shang's remaining breath all the way to the palace where the palace servants lived.

At this time, most of the palace servants had gone out to work, and Qingge was nowhere to be seen. When

Su Shang returned to the house, she saw the person who was lying down sitting upright beside the bed. When he saw her come back, he even grinned at her with a sinister and stiff smile.

Su Shang's nerves, which had been tied tightly since last night, almost broke at once.

She didn't care whether the other party was a human or a ghost, and rushed forward to question,

"What are you going to do? Don't think you can scare me with your appearance! Chun Yan! Don't forget that this is the imperial palace! Under the feet of the emperor, I, I will not be afraid of you!"

Chun Yan's face was even paler than yesterday. At this time, her eyes stared at her straight, and after a long while, she stood up suddenly,

"Really?"

Her voice was hoarse and harsh, and she raised her legs to walk towards Su Shang.

Su Shang saw that she actually moved, and immediately screamed and ran away without caring.

Chun Yan watched her run away with cold eyes, her eyes were cold for a long time, and she pulled a sneer at the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the bed, suddenly, as if she sensed something, she walked to the door with stiff steps.

When she raised her eyes, she saw a figure wearing a jade-colored cloak standing in the yard.

Chun Yan didn't know the other person, but she instinctively felt a dangerous breath from her. Her pale skin trembled slightly. She looked at the other person and asked with difficulty,

"Who are you?"
