Hua Fei heard the screams of Lipin and the palace maids and eunuchs behind her, and she turned her head involuntarily to see what was going on. The moment she turned around, a red figure flashed before her eyes.

Hua Fei's heart suddenly tightened. What happened? Her heart began to panic, but soon returned to calm.

However, at this moment, several palace maids and eunuchs had fainted from fright.

Those palace maids and eunuchs who did not fainted kept screaming: "Ah...ah...there is a ghost..." The voices came one after another, filling the entire palace corridor.

In contrast, Lipin seemed even more frightened, and her voice was particularly sharp, in stark contrast to the shouts of others:

"Ah... there is a ghost... the ghost is coming to find me..." It seemed as if the ghost was really coming for her.

At the same time, Zhen Huan, Noble Lady Shen, An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha were walking towards the direction where Concubine Li and the others were.

From a distance, they heard Lipin's thrilling cry.

Zhen Huan said to everyone, "It's Concubine Li's voice."

Shen Meizhuang immediately replied: "Yes."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, then looked at An Lingrong beside them, and the three of them understood.

When Noble Lady Fucha beside her heard Concubine Li's voice, her face turned pale instantly, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.

She prayed silently in her heart: I have never hurt Yu before! I hope Yu's ghost will not come to trouble her, it is too scary!

At this moment, Noble Fucha was secretly glad in her heart. She was glad to be able to go back with Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others. Although she didn't like to interact with them normally, at this critical moment, having them by her side made her feel inexplicably relieved.

Seeing this, Zhen Huan quickly comforted Noble Lady Fucha, saying, "Don't be afraid, we are here."

After saying that, she immediately turned to Cui Jinxi beside her and ordered: "Go and inform the Queen quickly." After receiving the order, Cui Jinxi hurried away.

Zhen Huan and others hurried towards Concubine Li.

I saw Lipin lying in a corner, shivering, and kept muttering: "There is a ghost... there is a ghost... ah... there is a ghost, don't come to me..."

His voice was trembling violently, as if he had been frightened out of his sanity.

When Concubine Hua saw Concubine Li looking so frightened, she couldn't help but feel worried.

She frowned and scolded, "Why are you yelling in the middle of the night? Shut up!"

However, Lipin seemed to have not heard Huafei's words at all, and continued to shout:

"There's a ghost... there's a ghost... ah... there's a ghost..."

Concubine Hua was so angry that she was fuming. Her chest was heaving violently and she was breathing heavily.

She was afraid that Concubine Li would say something unfavorable to her at this critical juncture and let others know what was going on between them.

However, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

At this moment, Zhen Huan, Noble Lady Shen, An Lingrong, Noble Lady Fucha and others slowly walked over with their personal maids.

They obviously heard Lipin's call and looked over here curiously.

Hua Fei secretly thought that something was wrong, but on the surface she pretended to be calm and walked forward.

Noble Lady Fucha had suffered a fright before, so now her heart was filled with extreme fear.

As she slowly walked towards Lipin, her steps became increasingly disordered, and she kept muttering:

"She's coming? She's coming? Is she really coming? Is she coming?"

When Concubine Hua saw this, she shouted angrily, "Who dares to speak nonsense? Send her to the cold palace immediately!"

Noble Lady Fucha was so frightened by Concubine Hua's words of "immediately sending her to the cold palace" that she dared not speak a word.

At this time, An Lingrong was also a little panicked. She was worried that if she accidentally said something wrong, she would be sent to the cold palace by Concubine Hua, which would be too unprofitable.

Everyone was silent, not daring to make a sound.

Everyone stared at Concubine Li who was trembling at the moment, and they still felt a lingering fear in their hearts.

Concubine Hua turned to the chief eunuch Zhou Ninghai and ordered, "Why are you still standing there? Help her up quickly!"

Zhou Ninghai took the order and ordered the two young eunuchs beside him to help Concubine Li.

When the two eunuchs touched Lipin, she was even more frightened, as if the person who was supporting her was Yu Ying'er's ghost who came to catch her.

She was so scared that she screamed again: "Ah...ah...it's not me, it's not me, the medicine was mine...I made the medicine."

As the two eunuchs lifted Lipin up from the ground, Lipin shouted again: "I didn't let her kill Wan Guiren. It wasn't me, it wasn't me."

Hua Fei felt that something was wrong with what Lipin said. If she continued talking, her reputation might be ruined by Lipin's mouth.

Hua Fei immediately ordered the eunuchs, "Lipin has gone insane, quickly shut her up and take her back to Yikun Palace."

Shen Meizhuang saw this and thought, this Concubine Hua might want to silence her. She couldn't let Concubine Hua escape with such a good opportunity. She had to delay for a while and wait for the Queen to come. She knew very well that the Queen had always been against Concubine Hua. So she shouted, "Wait a minute."

When Concubine Hua saw Shen Meizhuang trying to stop her without caring about the consequences, she felt a bit cruel. Shen Meizhuang really made her worried.

Shen Meizhuang stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Empress Hua, please think twice. We are still unclear about what is happening right now. I think we should send Lipin back to her own palace first, and then urgently summon the imperial physician. Why do we have to go to Yikun Palace first?"

At this moment, Concubine Hua hated Shen Meizhuang so much that her teeth were itching. She deserved to die.

Hua Fei said righteously: "Lipin is out of character and should not be seen by others. It would be more convenient to take her back to Yikun Palace."

After Hua Fei finished speaking, she was about to take everyone away immediately.

But Shen Meizhuang had no intention of backing off. She deliberately blocked Concubine Hua's way and said, "Your Majesty is right. However, this incident happened suddenly. I think it would be better to send someone to report to the Queen first."

Hua Fei angrily said, "We have to make do with expediency. Lipin is in such a state, I am afraid it will offend the Queen. It won't be too late to report to the Queen later. I have always helped the Queen to manage the six palaces. Can't I be the one in charge of this matter?"

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang could no longer hold on, Zhen Huan immediately helped and said, "Lipin is the head of a palace, and this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty should really inform the Empress first, so as to avoid being blamed by the Emperor in the future."

Zhen Huan thought to herself: I have already brought up the emperor to put pressure on you, let's see how you respond.

Concubine Hua turned and looked at Zhen Huan. This sharp tongue really worried her, but it didn't matter. She could still handle it. As long as the Emperor and the Empress didn't come to interfere at the moment, she was confident that she could deal with these little nobles.

Concubine Hua pretended to be polite and said, "Even if Lady Wan is favored by the emperor, there is no need to use the emperor to pressure me. Are you trying to make things difficult for me by blocking me like this today?"

Zhen Huan pretended to be a little scared and said, "I don't mean to offend you, but Lipin mentioned my previous poisoning, and I was involved in it, so I had to do something unnecessary."

Concubine Hua's eyes turned, and she was so angry that she was about to explode. She ignored Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's obstruction and forcibly ordered the young eunuchs:

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take Concubine Li back to Yikun Palace." As he said this, he was about to take her away by force.

Suddenly, a eunuch behind him shouted, "The Queen is here!"
