The Queen's headache subsided and she resumed her greetings.

"I heard that after Lady Yu died, Lady Wan couldn't sleep for many nights." When Concubine Hua saw that Zhen Huan was not among those who came to pay their respects, she said,

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Doctor Wen is already treating the patient, but there has been no improvement yet." Meizhuang explained. Lingrong was sitting in front of Meizhuang, staring at her, and had no intention of talking to her.

"There have been serious ghost stories in the palace these past few days. More than a dozen people have seen them." Concubine Qi remembered this incident when she heard that Concubine Wan was ill.

"I heard about it too. The eunuchs were so scared that they fell ill, and Noble Lady Fucha didn't even dare to go out." Concubine Li also heard the rumor that the female ghost was Yu, so she was always a little scared.

"The emperor said that ghosts and gods are just nonsense, not to mention that so many people have seen them, they are just exaggerating and spreading rumors." Hua Fei didn't believe this, she believed that someone was playing tricks. "It seems that Concubine Qi hasn't seen the emperor for too long, and she can't even remember what the emperor said."

Hua Fei's words made Qi Fei feel very upset. Qi Fei was a timid person and not very eloquent, so she could not win the argument with Hua Fei. "Your Majesty, you are not afraid because you have been listening to the emperor's words for a long time. It's different from us who don't see the emperor often. If we had the emperor's blessing to accompany us all the time, there would be fewer rumors in the palace. It's a pity that we don't have this blessing," said Xin Changzai to Qi Fei.

"Since you are unlucky, you should just pray for the best. Otherwise, you won't be able to help the wronged ghosts when they come to you one day." Concubine Hua was very angry when Concubine Xin interrupted her. She became even angrier as she spoke. She slammed the table and stood up. "You people say even worse things in private. You are full of demons and ghosts. I don't believe it. Yu will naturally go after whoever she hated during her lifetime. Why should others worry about it?"

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Why should we worry about it? She will go after whoever harmed her," Lingrong knew from Meizhuang's expression that she could not control her temper, so she smiled and took over the conversation.

"Yes, whether Yu was instructed by someone or not, she is of course suffering the consequences of her own actions. If someone was instructing her, she would naturally go find that person. Why would he use her as a scapegoat?" Mei Zhuang couldn't help but retort Hua Fei after all.

For a moment, everyone had different expressions. At this moment, Jianqiu walked in from behind the curtain and said, "The Queen has a headache and needs to rest. I will not keep you ladies here."

"We, your servants, shall take your leave." When everyone heard this, they knew that the queen was ordering them to leave, so they stood up and took their leave.

Concubine Hua was shocked by what Shen Meiyu said, and she didn't react for a while. She felt that she was being left behind. When she walked to Shen Meiyu's side, she stopped, glanced at her and said, "It's none of your business who Yu finds. You'd better take care of yourself." Lingrong could hear that Concubine Hua was warning Shen Meiyu to wish her good luck.

"Sister Mei, why do you have to provoke her? She is used to being domineering, how can she tolerate you irritating her?" Ling Rong couldn't help but say to her as she walked out of Jingren Palace.

"Oh, I just can't help being angry. I already hate her, and now she's attacking Huan'er. The next one might be you." Mei Zhuang stomped her feet in anger. It's human nature to not be involved in things that don't concern one's self, so she made the matter sound serious in order to get Lingrong to share the hatred against the enemy with them.

"Sister Mei, be calm. She just wants to clean her hands and feet now. She will keep a close eye on the female ghost." Although Ling Rong was comforting her, she was also telling her that Concubine Hua's main attention was now on Zhen Huan. If she wanted to do something, she should do it now when Concubine Hua is not paying attention to her. Otherwise, when Concubine Hua has time, she will have time to deal with her.
