The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

So after a moment's thought, she asked, "Are there any of your people in the palace?"

"some."

"Then tell them to keep an eye on Concubine Qi, provided it doesn't put them in danger. Also, keep an eye on Fengyi Palace, provided it doesn't put them in danger."

"Yes."

"Also, have them try to find out for me what Fei'er did between the time she came to see me that day and the time I went to see her today."

"Yes."

After Lin Yuan responded again, he didn't hear Li Shu speak again. After waiting for a while, he finally looked in Li Shu's direction.

Seeing Li Shu lowering her head and stroking each other, he felt his ears suddenly burning. He quickly said, "I'll go to the palace to pass on the message" and climbed out the window.

But the heat in his ears did not subside until he entered the palace.

Moreover, the smile on Li Shu's lips when she bent down to caress Zhizhi, as well as the slender neck and delicate collarbone exposed because the blanket was opened a lot, also lingered in his mind and could not be dispelled.

When Lin'an, who had received his message and rushed to the palace to meet him, appeared before him, he grabbed two handfuls of snow and covered his ears with it, and whispered, "I'm afraid Sanniang will beat me to death when she comes back."

Lin'an was confused.

Sanniang really treated the eldest brother as her own daughter, how could she possibly beat him to death!

Unless the boss failed to protect the young lady!

Thinking of this, he immediately became nervous, "Boss, could it be that something went wrong when the young lady entered the palace today?"

Lin Yuan lowered the temperature of his ears as he wished. Upon hearing this, he glanced at her unhappily and said, "With me by your side, what can happen to the young lady?"

"Then, Boss, what are you doing..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go find someone for me."

"You're the boss, but you said something incomprehensible first..."

Lin'an muttered to himself as he jumped over the courtyard wall.

Then Lin Yuan looked around where he was.

The huge courtyard was in a mess, and the palace was so dilapidated that it could no longer shelter from the wind and rain. However, because it was covered with thick white snow, it did not look eerie.

According to the information Sanniang had told him before, this was a palace that had been abandoned for many years and no one would easily approach it.

Because this place was once haunted.

About fifteen or sixteen years ago, palace servants kept saying that they could hear the cries of women and children when they passed by the outside of the palace.

It had been abandoned for decades.

Before it was abandoned, a favorite concubine of the previous emperor lived here.

Later, the favorite concubine had a difficult delivery and both mother and child died. To commemorate that concubine, the late emperor did not allow any other concubines to move here.

But the emperor's remembrance faded away within a few years.

This place is completely deserted.

What's particularly concerning is that when the current emperor heard about the haunting, he simply ordered the palace servants not to approach the area. He didn't send anyone to investigate, nor did he try to stop the spread of the ghostly rumors, causing the haunting to spread like wildfire within the palace.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan was already standing in front of the two palace doors that were so dilapidated that they were about to collapse.

Logically, even if there would be no palace servants passing by here easily, he shouldn't have made any noise here.

But he stared at the two doors for a moment, and for some unknown reason he reached out and pushed them open.

Then, accompanied by a dull and decaying creaking sound, a spacious hall covered with cobwebs and dust slowly came into his sight.

The weird thing is.

He casually scanned the entire hall and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

But he thought about it again and again, but still couldn't figure out where that sense of familiarity came from.

He had a good memory and vaguely remembered some of the things that happened before he was thrown into the mass grave.

He seemed to be living with his mother in a maze-like stone chamber.

But when he closed his eyes and tried to recall his childhood carefully for the first time in a long time, he could only recall a woman's face which was already very blurry.

That's his mother.

But she must be dead.

Otherwise, how could someone throw him into a mass grave at such a young age?

At this time, Lin'an's voice sounded.

"Boss, I'll bring the people here... Oh my God! Boss, why did you open the door to the temple? Didn't Sanniang say this place is haunted? And it's the scariest red-clothed female ghost and the big-headed doll ghost!"

"???"

Lin Yuan looked at Lin An speechlessly, thinking that the red-clothed female ghost was fine, but what kind of ghost was the big-headed doll ghost?

But it wasn't just Lin'an who was thrown into a mass grave like him, and then picked up by him who took time out of his daily routine to hang around the mass grave and brought back to the building because he was afraid of ghosts. The woman dressed as a palace maid brought by Lin'an also ran over quickly with a look of fear on her face and carefully closed the door of the palace.

Fortunately, she was careful enough.

Otherwise, the two doors would probably fall down.

Then Lin'an introduced her to him, "Big brother, her name is Hongju. She's a female doctor on duty at the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. Sanniang sent her to study medicine when she was five, which was the same year Sanniang found you. Then, when she was ten, her master was chosen to be a female doctor in the palace, and he took her with him. Sanniang had been the one who had been in contact with her before, so you haven't met her yet."

Lin Yuan nodded.

It was because Sanniang's condition became increasingly serious in the past two years that she slowly handed over the tasks in her hands to him.

Before Sanniang left Beijing this time, although he wrote down everything Sanniang said, he did not pay attention to those things.

His focus has always been on practicing martial arts and paying attention to the young lady.

Therefore, there were many people that Sanniang had sent out that he had never seen before.

Hongqu then pulled them both away from the palace gate, one by one, and lowered his voice to say to them, "This place isn't just haunted. Someone also found a baby's body half-soaked in a water tank. It's said that because of the foul odor emanating from it, someone came in to investigate after asking the emperor for permission. The baby's head was swollen from the water. The strange thing is that the emperor simply ordered the baby to be buried without inquiring about his identity. Of course, he might have investigated, but the news was simply kept secret..."

Is that why there is the saying of big-headed baby ghost?

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked around, but did not see any water tanks or the like.

Hongqu was still muttering, "There are so many abandoned places in the palace. I don't know why Sanniang chose this as the meeting place..."

Seeing that she was as timid as Lin'an, Lin Yuan repeated Li Shu's instructions word for word and left the palace with Lin'an.

That night, he returned to the building and carefully looked through the identity information of all the people Kong Sanniang had planted.

Then the next day, he went to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion early, bringing with him a calming incense with a slightly improved scent.

He knocked on the back window and entered Li Shu's room. Li Shu was combing Zhizi's hair with a special comb.

The little thing lay on her lap with its belly exposed, gurgling non-stop.

I think it must be very comfortable.

He couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Then he handed the calming incense to Nanny Gui and bowed to Li Shu, saying, "Miss, yesterday, after Xie Yu was sent back to her home by Ning Ge and Ning Ji, the two men who serve as your son-in-law, your third and fourth brothers went to take her to the General's Mansion within half an hour, and your father also placed her in..."
