"No, sister, don't worry too much. Ask the imperial physician to help prescribe some soothing medicine, and things will naturally get better."
"Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
The queen walked around the harem and felt very comfortable when she came back. At this time, a mysterious figure appeared and said, "Queen, I am satisfied with everything."
Ever since the flood in Donglin Palace was resolved, everything has been calm, and Wang Yiyao and Feng Minyi finally lived a stable life.
At noon, Huan'er went to Guishunzhai to buy cakes and came back with important news.
"Miss, let me tell you..."
Huan'er was about to lean into Wang Yiyao's ear as he spoke, "Okay, just talk it over properly. There are no outsiders here. This problem needs to be corrected."
Huan'er glanced at Wang Yiyao and said, "I heard from people on the street that the palace is haunted. They said that some people saw Guan Zhaoyi's ghost, and some heard her cry."
Wang Yiyao doesn't believe in these things about strange powers and gods. She is a person from modern times, and she doesn't believe in anything except science.
"Nonsense, simply nonsense. All good people are dead. Where did so many innocent souls come from? Don't believe the rumors."
Hearing this Huan'er got excited, "Miss, it's true that the royal nobles in the palace, Shen Zhaoyi, and the Queen Mother were so frightened that they fell ill. This is because some mistresses in the palace sent their servants to ask for ghost exorcism charms.
It only spread in the capital."
"Don't listen to them. Go and do your work quickly. You are really arrogant at such a young age."
"Miss, how about we go too..."
Wang Yiyao was really angry this time. She was so angry that she hit Huan'er on the head, "Girl, what are you thinking about? As long as your lady is here, no one dares to come to your door."
But the Queen and the mysterious man were chatting happily at the moment, "Come, you have tea, all this is really thanks to you. Now everyone thinks that Guan Zhaoyi's ghost is back, especially the Queen Mother, who has been scared for a long time.
My soul is gone."
"Hmph, that old fox Queen Mother should really let her taste what it's like to be haunted by ghosts. She has suffered so many lives over the years. I've long had enough."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then the mysterious man left the queen's palace.
"The Queen, stay here, everything is up to me."
The situation at the Queen Mother's side was still not good, so Aunt Hui went to the Queen Mother's Hospital to invite Dr. Hu.
"Mr. Hu, how is the Queen Mother?"
Dr. Hu shook his head. He was also scratching his head about this matter. He had taken all the medicines he needed, but his spirit still did not improve.
"Mommy, I have nothing to do. I can only wait and see. You should take the Queen Mother out to relax more often."
At this time, the Queen Mother was lying on the bed with empty eyes. She had not eaten a few mouthfuls of food since last night. She hid in bed and refused to get off her bed as soon as it got dark.
Shen Zhaoyi and Wang Guiren are also not getting better. Their mental state is not much better than that of the Queen Mother, but after all, they are young, so they are still better.
For several days in a row, there were still reports of hauntings in the palace, and such things also happened in the palaces of many concubines.
The emperor also knew about this, "Gao Zhan, when did the haunting in the harem start? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, it has been a few days. The Queen knows that you are busy with government affairs and does not dare to disturb you. She has been thinking of ways to find a solution."
The emperor slammed the table angrily, "Wherever there are ghosts, they are all scary people."
Gao Zhan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will send someone to investigate strictly."
The emperor never believed in these ghost stories, so this time he must get to the bottom of it.
"Gao Zhan, go and call the prince over."
Gao Zhan received the emperor's order and immediately went to the prince's palace.
Soon the two of them came to see the emperor, "My son, I want to pay my respects to my father."
"Get up, I have something to ask you to help investigate."
On the way here, the prince heard Gao Zhan say something about the harem being haunted, and he guessed that the emperor must hand over this matter to him for investigation.
"Father, I will fully cooperate with you."
"You should have heard about the haunting in the palace. Now things are getting bigger and bigger. You know that I never believe in this. So we, father and son, must work together to find the troublemakers behind it."
"It's Father."
After receiving the order, the prince tried his best to investigate, but still found nothing.
When the queen heard that the emperor was going to investigate the matter, she became panicked. She kept pacing in the room. At this time, the mysterious man and Zhang Ziqing appeared.
"Queen, what's going on?"
"Princess, you are finally here. The Emperor is currently investigating the matter. What if you are discovered?"
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of him. They owe me. And don't worry, Queen, this is a grudge between me and them, and I will never harm you, Queen."
The eldest princess came to give the queen some reassurance and left, leaving only Zhang Ziqing, "How did you persuade the eldest princess? Wasn't he originally on Wang Yiyao's side?"
"Sister, you really think simply. The eldest princess deliberately praised Wang Yiyao in front of the emperor in order to separate the emperor and the prince, and this time it was to take revenge on the queen mother."
The queen suddenly understood that the eldest princess also had her own agenda. It seemed that she and the queen mother had been grudges for a long time, so she did not want to see the queen mother's children well.
"Oh, now I understand completely. Jiang is still the hot one when she is old, but I am young after all. I don't understand the grudges of their previous generation."
The prince continued to investigate day and night, but the eldest princess still did not stop and continued to pretend to be a ghost. This time, not only the concubine's palace, but also some maids and eunuchs were frightened.
The situation on the Queen Mother's side was very bad. Originally, she had improved somewhat under the careful care of Aunt Hui in the past two days. She also ate a few mouthfuls during the day and went for a walk in the yard, but before going to bed at night...
…
"Your Majesty, my maid will help you to sleep. Let's take off your clothes first. You sit on the bed and my maid will help you."
At this moment, a black shadow outside the window, accompanied by a terrible cry, floated past the Queen Mother's eyes.
"ah……"
Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother vomited blood and fainted. Aunt Hui quickly called the imperial doctor on duty, but they could do nothing.
"Aunt Hui, I have an unkind request. Why don't you invite Princess Donglin into the palace to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother? I have always heard that the princess has excellent medical skills."
This suddenly woke up Nanny Hui, "Xiao Shunzi, go to Donglin Palace quickly. The Queen Mother said that she vomited blood and fainted. Please invite the Prince and Princess to come over."
