The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

Shen Mi picked up the pen and wrote down the prescription on the paper. At the moment when his eyes sank, he caught a glimpse of the figure behind the screen.

She didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

If Murong Jing really had any intentions and the truth was revealed, they would say that she came to the palace today to see the Queen Mother and intended to seduce the Prince.

Not only would her reputation be ruined, but she would also fall into someone else's trap. By then, no matter how much her father and uncle objected, she would have to marry the prince.

The prince is a very vicious and shameless person.

Thinking of this, Shen Mi raised her eyes and looked at the Queen: "My Queen, the prescription has been written, just follow the instructions and take the medicine."

"Your Majesty, you need to rest. I will not disturb you."

The queen's eyes fell on her face, and she looked at her carefully with a satisfied expression.

"Miss Shen is thoughtful."

"Miss Shen is a natural beauty, she is unforgettable."

"It's really rare to still have medical skills now."

Shen Mi smiled slightly and looked up at her, "What are you talking about, Queen? I only know a little bit."

"It is my honor to be able to treat the Empress."

The queen sighed, knowing that Shen Mi was just being polite.

She ordered a little maid, "Send Miss Shen back home."

"Yes, ma'am"

Shen Mi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Fortunately, everything was not as she thought.

She followed a maid and slowly left the Queen's bedroom.

She also knew that no matter how bold the Queen and the Crown Prince were, they would never do anything foolish in Fengyi Palace.

In the bedroom, Crown Prince Murong Jing walked out from behind the screen.

"Mother, what do you see? I can only see this."

The queen stretched out her jade-like arm slightly, picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip.

"The little girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she is so calm and has extraordinary insight."

"She saw everything about you behind the screen just now. This girl is very thoughtful."

"She is much better than Shen Shu, the most talented woman in Yanjing."

The prince slowly walked to the chair and sat down, looking at the queen with raised eyebrows: "What the queen mother wants to test today may not be that simple."

The queen picked up the prescription on the table, glanced at it, and said to the maid next to her: "Burn this prescription. I dare not drink the medicine she prescribed."

A little palace maid walked over, took the prescription, turned around and put it on the candle, burning it to ashes.

Looking at the flickering candlelight, the queen sneered and said, "If she can turn danger into safety in the Pepper Room tonight, she will be the one predicted by the Imperial Observatory."

"The Pepper Palace is a notorious haunted palace. Countless palace maids and maids have been beaten to death in it in the past years, and several concubines of the previous emperor also died there."

"That place is full of resentment and is also a forbidden area in the palace. No one dares to go there, let alone stay there for a night."

"There were often palace maids who accidentally entered the Pepper Room. Within half a day, they would come out crazy or even scared to death."

"Today, I want to see if Shen Mi can turn danger into safety as he did in the past."

Crown Prince Murong Jing picked up the tea in his hand and looked in the direction where Shen Mi left.

"What if she isn't? A woman with such thoughts cannot be kept."

The queen raised her eyes and glanced at the prince, sneering: "You are the current prince, are you afraid of a woman like her?"

The prince frowned slightly. Whenever he thought of the look in Shen Mi's eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He raised his eyes to look at the queen: "Mother, have you forgotten why Mrs. Lin of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion ended up like this?"

"Could it be that it has nothing to do with her?"

The queen narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"She's just a woman, what's so scary about that?"

"See how long you can survive the filth I have locked up in your underground prison."

"If he can't survive, have him killed. Get him out quietly to avoid any more trouble."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

When I came out of the Queen's bedroom, it was already dark.

Shen Mi's eyesight becomes worse at night.

When passing by dark places, everything is often blurry.

She followed the palace maid through the imperial garden and came to a cobblestone path in the palace.

The further we walked, the darker the light ahead became.

She could even notice that the little palace maid who led her was trembling slightly.

It was not until he crossed the path and came to a silent courtyard that Shen Mi realized something was wrong.

She immediately said, "This place doesn't seem to be the way out of the palace."

The little maid turned to look at her, her face pale, and she spoke tremblingly: "Miss Shen, I'm afraid this is your first time entering the palace?"

"There are two ways out of the palace. One is the path Miss Shen just took, and the other is this path."

"I was afraid that the people in Pingyang Marquis's residence would be anxiously waiting for Miss Shen, so I wanted to take Miss Shen to a small road, so that Miss Shen could return home faster."

Shen Mi frowned slightly. The more he looked at the palace maid's expression, the more he felt something was wrong.

Although she had been to the palace many times in her previous life, she had never been to this place, let alone the path leading to the palace.

Moreover, all the lights in this place were out, with only faint lights coming from the lanterns in the hands of the palace maids.

The light was dim at night and she couldn't tell the direction.

She walked up to the maid and whispered, "Since you are taking me on a small path, why are you so scared?"

"Could it be that there is a ghost here that scared you like this?"

When the little palace maid heard Shen Mi's words, her face turned pale and her whole body trembled slightly.

"Second Miss Shen, I will take you here. You can walk on your own and continue walking forward until you reach the palace exit."

Shen Mi sneered and suddenly reached out to grab the palace maid's neck.

The maid's face instantly turned the color of liver, and she immediately begged for mercy: "Miss Shen, please let me go, let me go back."

Shen Mi said angrily: "Tell me, what exactly is this place?"

The little palace maid shook her head repeatedly, her eyes full of tears.

"Slave, slave, I don't know."

Seeing that she didn't say anything and looked very scared, Shen Mi deliberately put his lips close to her ear and spoke in a strange voice.

"I died from having hot oil poured down my throat. I... died so miserably, so miserably..."

The little palace maid was so frightened that her pupils shrank and her face turned pale.

"Let, let me go!"

She pushed Shen Mi away violently, the lantern in her hand dropped to the ground, and she struggled to break free and ran in the opposite direction like crazy.

"What are you running for?"

Shen Mi picked up the lantern from the ground and was about to leave this creepy place.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a door being locked in the outer courtyard.

She didn't care about anything else and ran over with the lantern in her hand. She saw several maids with lanterns locking the outer courtyard and turning around to leave.

In the pitch-black night, it was so quiet that Shen Mi could even hear her own heartbeat.

There was a rustling sound of wind around, and Shen Mi could still feel the chill.

"anyone there?"

"Open the door, why did you lock me in here? I want to go home."

"anyone there?"

It was quiet outside, and the only light in the yard was from the lantern in her hand, while everything around her was pitch black.

She shouted for a long time in front of the yard, but no one showed up.

Shen Mi had no choice but to move forward holding the lantern.

Raising the lantern in his hand and looking along the faint light, he could vaguely see a plaque.

When Shen Mi saw the words on the plaque clearly, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Pepper House?

Isn’t the Pepper Palace the famous palace of death in the imperial palace?

This place has been haunted for many years, and no one from the harem dares to come here. Some of the palace maids and nannies who came in were even scared to death.

Moreover, many people had died in the Pepper Palace, including palace maids, eunuchs, maids and even imperial concubines.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

What does the Queen mean by this? Why did she let her come to the Pepper Room?

Thinking of this, Shen Mi turned around with the lantern in hand and prepared to knock on the door again.

As soon as I turned around, I heard light footsteps and the rustling sound of fallen leaves in the wind behind me.

The footsteps were very light, but they still fell into her ears.

She gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and didn't look back.

She has died once now, so if we talk about who died miserably, no one could compare to her.

What is she afraid of?

No matter whether there is a person or a ghost behind her, she will not turn around to look.

Shen Mi took a deep breath and listened to the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer.

After she calmed down, she held the lantern tightly and continued to walk towards the gate step by step. Her heart pounded with every step.

The strange footsteps behind her continued to follow, as if the footsteps moved forward with every step she took.

Not until she reached the gate and stopped did the strange footsteps behind her also stop.

It was pitch black all around. She gritted her teeth, threw the lantern in her hand, and cursed, "Come on if you can. I'm not afraid!"

"Who is afraid of who? You are just playing tricks on me!"

"Tsk, huh." A cold snort came from behind him, and Shen Mi also smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.

Familiar, yet dangerous.

She looked back and saw a dark figure standing opposite her.

"Four, Fourth Master."
