Little Dianzi was running too fast and tripped and fell to the ground, hitting his teeth on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhuang's face immediately darkened. Could it be that Liu Wenxin had hanged herself?
How could that be? Although there are few people coming and going in the Cold Palace, people still come in every day to deliver food. The Cold Palace isn't just one palace; so many deposed concubines live here. It's impossible for them to be unaware of someone's death.
She instinctively felt something was very strange and was about to step inside to investigate when Manhuan was so frightened she was about to cry. She grabbed her arm and said, "Your Majesty, please, Your Majesty, don't go in! It's so eerie inside, who knows what else might be there?"

Seeing how scared she was, she regretted bringing her along. She should have just brought one person instead.

Man Huan was still trembling uncontrollably, clearly quite frightened. Seeing this, Shen Mingzhuang smiled and said, "Why don't you go back and rest first? You don't need to serve us here."
