The first concubine to arrive at Anhua Palace to pray for the second prince was Concubine Mei Bai Ruiji.

Because she was the first one, the Queen specially accompanied Bai Ruiji to Anhua Palace.

Bai Ruiji got up early and went to Anhua Hall, praying until dark, ending the day's prayers.

When paying respects the next day, the Queen expressed her gratitude.

The second person to take the throne was Concubine Hai Lan. Although Hai Lan looked calm, she was actually a little panicked.

For the whole day, Hailan knelt on the cushion in a restless state, chanting scriptures and praying for blessings.

When it was almost dark after praying in Anhua Temple, bursts of crying children were suddenly heard from the temple.

The sound came from far away and the crying became clearer and clearer.

When Hailan heard the voice, she felt a chill on her back. She turned around to look where the voice came from and saw a small shadow crying and struggling.

Hailan shuddered and shouted, "Ye Xin!"

The boy answered Hai Lan in a somewhat terrifying voice: "Mrs. Hai, why are you trying to kill me? I can't breathe. Save me."

Hailan only felt that the figure was rushing towards her. The candlelight in the hall was flickering, but it was full of eerie air.

Hailan closed her eyes and said, "It's fake, it's all fake, this is a dream."

Then, something cold fell into his arms.

Hai Lan didn't dare to open her eyes. The thing in her arms spoke: "Empress Hai, I can't breathe."

As it spoke, the thing's pointed fingers touched Hailan's face.

Hailan cried out, threw the things in her arms out, closed her eyes and shouted: "Don't look for me, blame your mother. If she hadn't harmed my sister, I wouldn't have harmed you."

The thing seemed to have entangled Hailan, and just after being thrown out, it jumped onto Hailan's back again.

Hailan's neck was tightly strangled by two thin, cold arms. After a few breaths, she felt she couldn't breathe.

The thing came close to Hai Lan's ear and exhaled a breath of cold air, saying: "Madam Hai, the reed catkins make Yong Lian very uncomfortable, Madam Hai, Madam Hai..."

Hai Lan reached out her hand and used all her strength to pry the creature's thin arms apart, screaming, "Don't bother me anymore. Even if I kill you with reed fluff, it's your mother's fault. Go find your queen, go find your concubine, don't come to me."

With a bang, the door of Anhua Palace was kicked open.

The cold wind at night suddenly woke Hailan up.

When Hai Lan opened her eyes, she met the emperor's murderous gaze and was immediately frightened.

The Queen stared at Hai Lan and asked, "I have never hurt you. If you have any grievances, why don't you come after me instead of Yong Lian?"

The emperor was so angry that his eyes turned red. After dinner, he took a walk with the imperial concubine and met the queen who came to pick up Hai Lan. The three of them went to Anhua Palace together. Unexpectedly, they caught the real murderer who harmed Yonglian.

Hai Lan knew that she was being plotted against. The Queen must have been suspicious and had designed this scheme.

Thinking of this, Hai Lan said innocently: "Your Majesty, Queen, I don't have it."

Gao Xiyue stepped forward and slapped him in the face. After the slap, she said, "You still dare to quibble."

After beating Hai Lan, Gao Xiyue turned around and said to the emperor: "Noble Lady Hai plotted to murder the heir to the throne, she should be sentenced to death."

The emperor looked at Hai Lan coldly and said, "I heard you say with my own ears that you used reed catkins to kill Yonglian and murder my legitimate son. It is not too much to punish all nine people."

Hailan still looked innocent and said, "I don't have any."

The Queen said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Lady Hai did this for the man in the cold palace."
