The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

To be contaminated by corpse qi, the person must either have been in contact with corpses for a long time, or have come into contact with zombies.

There was no charity cemetery in the imperial palace, and when a palace maid died, they were usually taken out of the palace and dealt with on the same day, so the former was impossible.

That's the latter.

There are many types of corpses. Those that become stiff after death are zombies, those that are not stiff after death are walking corpses, and walking corpses are usually those that have recently died but have "come back to life" again.

Because they have just died, their appearance is not much different from that of ordinary people, and they are the easiest to be overlooked.

The imperial palace is clearly protected by dragon energy, but zombies can still appear in this situation, which shows that the imperial city is not lucky.

Although he had the answer in his heart, Jiang Xuxu had no intention of taking the initiative to help the other party.

After all, judging from her appearance, it is not innocent for this female official named Su Shang to be entangled with her.

Because Jiang Xuxu planned to wait and see, Su Shang's plan to stay and keep watch naturally failed.

He walked back to the palace with heavy steps.

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

How she wanted to rush over and grab the other 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 being, and she was even more afraid that everyone would find out that it was she who caused Chun Yan to no longer be a human being...

Thinking that there was at least Qingge in the room, and nothing happened the whole night, Su Shang forced himself to pretend that nothing had happened.

In a few days, after the ceremony of crowning the queen is over, she, as the queen's female official, will naturally move into the harem. At that time, she will no longer have to stay in the same room with her.

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

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

Su Shang's heart almost jumped to his throat instantly.

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 staring at her without any emotion that a human should have.

Su Shang closed his eyes and dared not look again. However, even so, he could still clearly feel that creepy gaze, like a thorn in his back, following him like a shadow.

Su Shang felt like he was almost going crazy.

She didn't know how she got through the night. At one point she even felt that her soul and body had separated.

She was in a daze until Qingge, who lived in the same room with her, finally made some movement. She then staggered to her feet and got up as well.

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

It was as if the person who had been staring at her all night last night was not her.

Even so, Su Shang felt he couldn't bear it anymore.

No matter it was an illusion or a psychological problem, she must leave this house today!

If she stays in this room any longer, she will die!

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

Madam Li scolded with a stern face.

"Look at what a freak you look like. You are not afraid of scaring Miss Feng with such a face. We don't need you today. Go back and have a rest. Take care of yourself and come back to serve me."

Hearing Nanny Li asking her to go back, Su Shang's already horrified expression became even more horrified. It was only two nights, but her cheeks had become visibly sunken, and with the dark circles under her eyes and her gray face, she looked even more frightening.

But she was still unaware and kept holding onto Li Ma'am and begging,

"Mammy, 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. Mammy, please give me another chance..."

Nanny Li looked at her, who looked extremely ill but was still begging desperately, and her expression was indescribable.

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

Seeing her like this now, he also slowed down his tone.

"I'm not trying to replace you, but you're not fit to serve in the front in your current state. His Majesty will come to visit you today. If you offend His Majesty again, I won't be able to save your life."

After much persuasion, they finally sent the person back as he was.

Jiang Xuxu had woken up a long time ago and was doing morning exercises in the yard. He heard noises coming from the outer yard in the distance, and soon saw Nanny Li walk in.

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

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

Although Nanny Li was surprised and puzzled when she heard this, she did not show it on her face. She walked over with a smile and responded respectfully, then took the tea and drank it all without hesitation.

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

The tea was originally served by Nanny Li, and it still tasted the same as when it was served, but it seemed a little different when you drank it, like a warm current flowing through your body, and even your slightly sore arms felt a little more relaxed.

Nanny Li had no doubts and thanked her with a smile after she finished drinking. She also asked her if there was anything she wanted for lunch.

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

"I want to go out for a walk."

When Nanny Li heard this, she was about to say she would follow, but then she heard Jiang Xuxu say,

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

After saying that, he didn't care about the other party's reaction, went back to the house, put on a cloak and walked out.

He went out to hide his breath, and then followed Su Shang's remaining breath all the way to the palace where the palace people lived.

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

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

The string that had been stretched tightly since last night almost broke at once.

He didn't care whether the other person was a human or a ghost, he rushed forward and questioned,

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

Chun Yan's face was even paler than yesterday. At this moment, her eyes were fixed on her. After a long while, she suddenly stood up.

"Yeah?"

Her voice was hoarse and difficult, and as she spoke, she raised her leg and was about to walk towards Su Shang.

When Su Shang saw that she actually moved, he screamed and ran away without caring about anything.

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

When he raised his eyes, he saw a figure wearing a jade cloak standing in the yard.

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

"Who are you?"
