He tried to touch the woman almost every few days, but the result was still the same; he could still see ghosts. He was no longer afraid of ghosts, but he couldn't get aroused in front of the hideous ghosts.
Such things cannot be told to outsiders.
Two days later, Consort Qian was buried. As a noblewoman, her burial was conducted according to regulations, unlike Miss Chen's hasty burial.
On the very day after Consort Qian was buried, the old nanny who had served Miss Chen died in her room. She was supposed to be reassigned to another place by the Imperial Household Department the next day, but she suddenly passed away at this critical juncture.
