Inside the Yongshou Palace, several palace maids in charge of cleaning were discussing the strange things that had happened in the past few days.

A little palace maid said, "When I got up to pour water in the middle of the night yesterday, I saw a female ghost!"

"What? You saw it too?" another maid replied.

"Yeah, that was scary, with something stuck in his neck and blood all over his face!"

"Are you seeing things?"

"Really? That's a woman's hair. It's cold and smells fishy. It's the smell of a dead person!"

Liu Ruchun had been suspicious these days and hadn't slept well. When she heard a few palace maids discussing this matter, she became even more crazy and yelled at them:

"If anyone dares to say that Yongshou Palace is haunted again, I will send you to the Ministry of Punishment!"

The young palace maids were still not convinced, but they did not dare to say anything more and just scattered like birds and beasts.

Liu Ruchun was distraught. She had grown up in a brothel and had seen a lot of the world. She couldn't understand whether there were ghosts and gods in this world. If there were ghosts and gods, why didn't her dead mother come back to see her?

She thought about it and decided to fight back.

Liu Ruchun walked around Yongshou Palace several times. After Lu Zhu's death, there was no one available by her side.

Perhaps he is the only one in this harem who can help me.

She took out the few silver coins she had and handed them to the gatekeeper, asking the guard to help get Little Lizi to come to Yongshou Palace.

Money makes the world go round, and this saying is indeed true. The guard took the silver and went to deliver the message to Little Li during his next shift.

That day, Little Leo found an opportunity to enter the Yongshou Palace.

In Tangli Palace, Shen Meimei was writing and drawing with a pen. While preparing to complete the system task, she stared at Liu Ruchun.

"Your Majesty, the people we sent out brought news that Little Li went to Yongshou Palace and seemed to have promised Concubine Wan that he would send something out!" Jinxi said in a low voice.

"Continue to arrange people to keep an eye on and see where Little Li will send the things. In a few days, it will be the ceremony for Concubine Wan to be crowned as a princess. Before that, I will give her a big gift!" Shen Meimei sneered.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Jin Xi said and walked out.

Caixing and Caiyue carried the chrysanthemums sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the courtyard. "Look how beautiful these chrysanthemums are in bloom! Especially the green chrysanthemums, they are the most rare!"

"Yes, the emperor knows that our queen loves chrysanthemums the most, so every year the most beautiful chrysanthemums in the harem are sent to our palace!"

The two looked at the chrysanthemums with pride.

At this moment, Concubine Xin came in with two maids. Caixing and Caiyue hurried over to pay their respects, "Greetings to Concubine Xin, long live the queen!"

"Take me to see the Imperial Concubine quickly, I have good news!" Concubine Xin said with a smile.

When Shen Meimei heard that it was Concubine Xin, she came out to greet her without waiting for anyone to inform her.

"Sister Xin, this guy came here by himself. What's the matter?"

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!" Although Concubine Xin is carefree, she will always bow according to the rules when she sees Shen Meimei.

"Okay, Sister Xin, we sisters don't need to be polite, let's go inside and talk!"

The two of them entered the main hall of Tangli Palace together. Caixing and Caiyue prepared milk tea and candied fruits.

Concubine Xin said directly:

"My concubine's father has arranged for someone to visit Hangzhou. The hotel that the emperor went to was deliberately led there by someone, and Liu Ruchun on the sixth floor does not seem to be an honest official."

Shen Meimei was stunned. "Sister Xin, Liu Ruchun was selling her art but not her body, how can you be sure that she was not an honest official?"
