Speaking of Lele, Acai was also a little worried.
"You're right. Yesterday, when I delivered cakes to the prince as you instructed, I called him three times before he responded. I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. I feel that Lele is not as lively as before, and his temperament is a bit dull. He was like you before, but not anymore. He's a bit like the emperor, and he's rather indifferent to everyone he meets."
Acai's words made Luo Lan gasp.
Recently, she also noticed that Lele was no longer talkative and didn't like to socialize with others. She didn't notice the problem at first, but now after Acai reminded her, she also felt that his personality had really changed, and was completely different from when he was in Prince Yu's Mansion.
She didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but she was very glad that Lele had no brothers to compete with for status, otherwise, Leng Yu's experience might have been repeated.
They arrived at the imperial mausoleum at night. When Leng Yu led everyone into the courtyard where Concubine Li and Yu'er lived, Yu'er came out to greet them. He swung his clothes and knelt on his knees.
"Yu'er pays his respects to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince. My mother is ill, and she asked me to give you her regards."
Leng Yu hurriedly raised his hand and gave a slight support.
"Yu'er, get up quickly. What happened to your mother? Have you seen a doctor?"
Yu Er nodded somewhat disappointedly.
"My mother's condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad. When she's good, she's the same as before, but when she's bad, she hits and scolds people. The doctor examined her, but couldn't find the cause. He said it might be due to excessive Yin energy, but I can't really explain it..."
Yu'er's words made Leng Yu's brows tighten instantly.
He immediately waved to the imperial physician beside him,
"Go and have Concubine Li see you. Don't listen carelessly to the doctor's words."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Luo Lan also said:
"Your Majesty, I'm going to see Concubine Li."
"Go ahead, I want to talk to Yu'er."
After Luo Lan nodded, he followed the doctor to the room where Concubine Li was.
It was almost dusk. Behind the courtyard was the imperial mausoleum, where tablets of the royal ancestors were placed. There were no villages around, and apart from the chirping of early birds, there was nothing else, giving people a desolate and terrifying feeling.
Luo Lan tightened her clothes, and Ah Cai hurriedly asked softly:
"My Lady, you're shivering. Are you cold or tired? Do you want to go back and rest?"
Luo Lan shook his head.
"No problem, let's go see Concubine Li first."
After Ah Cai nodded, he supported her and continued forward.
After a while, under the guidance of the maid, they arrived at the door where Concubine Li lived. The two maids stepped forward to pay their respects and opened the door.
As soon as Luo Lan stepped in, he heard a strange sound coming from inside...
"Get out! Get out of here! I'm the Empress, and you little slaves..."
"Queen, please spare my life. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't kill me..."
"Hahaha... Kill you? Hahaha..."
“Have mercy…Have mercy…”
“…”
Hearing these words, Luo Lan couldn't help but shudder. She held A Cai's hand tightly and asked the girl:
"Who's talking?"
The girl bowed without any surprise and said:
"This is Concubine Li talking to herself. She does this every evening, and she stops when the sun rises during the day."
Hearing this, Luo Lan couldn't help but sigh. Could it be that Concubine Li had lived here for too long and was possessed by evil spirits?
Although she is not superstitious, she still believes in this kind of thing.
She turned around and instructed the imperial physician:
"Go in and check for Concubine Li."
After receiving the order, the imperial physician followed the maid and walked into the inner room.
Luo Lan did not continue to walk in. Just as she was about to sit down on the chair, she saw the imperial physician running out,
"Crazy, crazy, Concubine Li is crazy."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's expression suddenly became nervous. She couldn't wait to ask,
"What happened?"
The imperial physician shook his head incoherently and replied:
"Concubine Li...she's crazy..."
Luo Lan looked at the calm girl beside the imperial physician.
"What's going on?"
The girl replied calmly,
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. Concubine Li does this every evening. Everything will be fine tomorrow when the sun comes out."
Is there such a strange thing?
Luo Lan frowned and pondered for a while, then stood up and instructed the girl:
"Take me in to have a look."
The girl hurriedly shook her head to stop him.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li will hit people when she gets mad. You are a noble person, so it's better not to go in. I might hurt you later."
“No problem…”
After leaving these words, she raised her foot and walked into the inner room.
A Cai was afraid that she would be frightened by Concubine Li, so she hurriedly followed her.
The maid opened the door to the back bedroom. As soon as Luo Lan stepped in, Concubine Li came over to greet her. When she saw Luo Lan, she pointed at her and laughed.
"You lowly slave, kneel down before me now."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's brows tightened instantly.
The Concubine Li standing in front of her had messy hair, a ferocious expression, and a hollow look in her originally calm eyes.
"Empress Dowager Li..."
She called out softly, but Concubine Li screamed "Ah", opened her arms and rushed towards Luo Lan. Seeing this, Ah Cai took two steps forward and grabbed Concubine Li's collar tightly. At the same time, Luo Lan took a few steps back in panic.
The maid standing behind her hurried forward, gently stroked Concubine Li's chest, and comforted her:
"My lady, please don't be impatient. This is our distinguished guest. You must not be rude to her."
