Shen Zhiqiao weakly glared at him. From the looks of it, she seemed to be fine?!

To the south, she was at a loss of what to do. She had been forced to go back to her room to watch.

Look, it's like this now. If the emperor were to see this, he'd be skinned alive!

Shen Zhiqiao grabbed the arm he extended and forcefully suppressed the vomit in his throat. He mustered the courage to look again.

There was a person lying under the tree. He was dressed in white, with a green complexion, bulging eyes, and his neck was swollen to the point where it was twice as swollen as a normal person's.

He covered his mouth, bent over and vomited again.

Heading south, he was extremely frightened, and shouted at the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing dumbly on either side of him, "What are you still standing there for? "Hurry up and drag this dead thing out!"

As if suddenly enlightened, a few eunuchs stepped forward one after another, not daring to look at the people on the ground, and lifted their bodies to leave.

In the act of moving, the corpse's hand drooped.

Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes glanced to the side. His heart stopped beating and he said with a trembling voice, "Wait!"

Those eunuchs listened to him and paused for a moment, then turned to the south.

Confusion was written all over Nan's face.

Shen Zhi Qiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he turned his body while holding his arm facing south.

His gaze fell on the hand that was hanging down. His hand was also green and black, but there was a black mark on the back of his hand that was extremely familiar … A soaring eagle hazel.

The corner of her eyes twitched, her gaze moved up and down the crowd. Looking at the clothes, it was a woman, and the color and style of the clothes were extremely familiar. Although her figure and appearance had almost completely changed, she could almost determine who she was just from looking at the eagle and the clothes … Zheng Mei-jie, she is … Beauty Zheng!

"Hiss ~" Nan looked painfully at the arm she was holding. Her fingers turned white from exerting too much force on her knuckles, and her fingertips, out of fear or shock, had already deeply embedded themselves into his clothes, pinching him until it hurt.

Shen Zhi Qiao's heart was filled with disbelief, and he was even a bit shocked.

If she remembered correctly, it had only been a day since that day … How could she not be afraid of this situation when they met again?

After taking one last look at that hand, Shen Zhi Qiao opened his eyes in a hurry. His face was somewhat pale, and he asked the palace maids and eunuchs, "What happened? Why is the corpse of beauty Zheng here? "

Beauty Zheng?!

The moment she said those words, the surroundings immediately became filled with sounds of sighs.

He turned to look at the body.

He had never thought that this body that could not be identified would actually be that of a Zheng beauty!

"In reply to Miss, I, your servant, have always been in the rear courtyard of the hall packing up and preparing breakfast. Just now, I was just about to deliver breakfast to Miss with my other sisters. The other female servants did not know about it. " One of the palace maids replied with a trembling voice. She must have been scared too.

Shen Zhi Qiao looked at her, and then looked at the green tree. The white silk was still firmly planted on top of it, and caused her eyes to feel pain, as she lowered her eyes and waved to the eunuchs, "Send beauty Zheng over to her palace, send someone to inform her … "Your majesty."

He let go of Nan's hand and walked into the house. After a few steps, he stopped. "Take that white silk from the tree …"

"Miss, you can't!" "There was a monk who did a law saying that this piece of white silk was not to be taken away. He said that it was the home of the undead, and if it was taken away, there would be nowhere for the undead to go, which would bring trouble to the harem …"

Shen Zhi Qiao's lips twitched. What kind of lousy reason was this!

Tilting his head to look at the white silk again, he thought about the white-clothed female he saw the night before and frowned, "The home of the dead …" Interesting! "

She pursed her lips and didn't say anything else as she started to walk towards the house.

He looked towards the south and thoughtfully at the white silk, then said to everyone, "Do what you have to do. Stop surrounding me, just add on!"

The group of palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other before reluctantly dispersing.

Who didn't know that the Soul Orchid Palace was a haunted place? Most of them didn't want to see the lady that they just received notice of coming to serve them, but in the end, something like this happened on the second day of their stay.

As soon as Shen Zhiqiao entered the room, he sat at the table in a daze. Facing the food on the table, he couldn't bring himself to eat, so he retreated south.

Southward, too, waited behind her with a preoccupied look on his face.

After a long while, Shen Zhi Qiao turned his head to look at him, "To the south, has there been anything unusual about Zheng Mei?"

He looked to the south blankly and answered, "This servant doesn't know …" He paused for a moment. "However, there were some rumors circulating around the palace regarding the Zheng Family's beauty yesterday …"

Shen Zhiqiao raised an eyebrow and pointed to a nearby stool. "Sit down. Tell me about it."

He immediately shook his head towards the south, "This servant will stand." He continued, "Beauty Zheng's family is from a famous medicinal clan in the Eastern Tomb City. It's said that before she entered the palace, she and her hired doctor had already taken a liking to each other. For some reason, after she entered the palace, she became the emperor's concubine …"

He glanced at her. "Rumor has it that she's been in touch with that doctor for four years. Some even say that she was in contact with that doctor before she entered the palace …"

"Once the rumors are out, Imperial Concubine Hua will invite Lady Zheng to have a cup of tea with her …" He added, "Just yesterday. "It's said that the face of the beautiful Zheng from the Hua Cui Palace was extremely ugly. Her body was still stained with blood. She was mumbling about something along the way. She's dead …"

Imperial Concubine Hua?!

Shen Zhiqiao slightly shook his hand, "What do you think is the reason behind the death of Beauty Zheng in the Black Blue Palace?"

"Don't worry too much, my lady. The Soul Orchid Hall used to be the Hall of Punishment. Although the Hall of Punishment was gone, many palace maids, eunuchs, and even concubines would die if they did something wrong. They would choose to execute their crimes in the Hall of Soul Orchid, or kill themselves if they knew that they were unforgivable."

"So, you think that the reason that she committed suicide is because her good relationship with her before she entered the palace was discovered, right?"

Before he could reply, Shen Zhi Qiao said, "Okay, I know, I've got a headache. I'm going in to rest for a while, you go out, remember to close the door …"

"…" "Yes, my lady."

He bowed and left the hall.

Watching his shadow pass through the doorway, Shen Zhiqiao sat in his seat, his hands on his knees trembling.
