Gu Chenan quietly came over and pretended to join in the fun while listening to their conversation.

The person who said at the beginning that he saw the ghost of the Prince of Chen continued mysteriously: "I didn't lie to you. At that time, I went to the imperial kitchen to deliver something back. When I passed the side door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I saw a figure in white flash by. That figure and that appearance were undoubtedly the Prince of Chen!"

Some of the timid ones had already believed it and hurriedly asked questions.

"And then what? Were you not frightened to death?"

"I'm not afraid of anything, so how can I be afraid of ghosts? I chased after him at that time, and guess what happened?"

"What's the matter? Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us!" Someone was listening intently and urged hurriedly.

The man lowered his voice and said, "I chased for a long time and found no one. I thought I was seeing things, and was about to go back when I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder."

"That's nonsense. I heard that ghosts are invisible and intangible. How could you feel it when he put his hand on your shoulder?"

"Don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth. When I turned around, I happened to see him face to face!"

"That long tongue, those blood-red eyes..."

As I was playing the flute, I suddenly felt my shoulders sink, as if something extra was there.

The touch felt like a hand.

The man stiffened instantly, his eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the people gathered around him.

Their hands hung naturally, and no one put their hands on his shoulders.

A gust of cold wind blew past, making his back feel cold, and he dared not move.

When the people around him saw that he had stopped talking, they couldn't help but urge him to continue.

"Why don't you say anything? Bloodshot eyes, what next?"

The man began to tremble, and tried hard to signal them with his eyes to look behind him.

However, the lights behind the rockery were dim and no one understood his hint.

Until a faint voice sounded.

"Look, is that so?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were so frightened that they forgot to react.

I saw a hand on the man's shoulder, and behind him was a red face, red eyes, and a long tongue...

Finally someone reacted and shouted.

"Ghost!!"

"It's the ghost of King Chen who has arrived!"

Several palace maids and eunuchs fled in all directions. Some were so scared that they even lost their shoes and did not dare to look back.

The eunuch who was helped by his companion was so frightened that his legs went limp. He could only watch his companion escape without being able to take a single step.

Seeing this, Gu Chenan laughed mockingly, threw away the red lantern in his hand, and grabbed the eunuch's neck from behind.

"The emperor was frightened and became seriously ill. Is this news true?"

The eunuch was still in shock, but fortunately he relaxed a lot after knowing that Gu Chenan was not a ghost.

"You, you, you, what are you going to do?"

Gu Chen'an showed some impatience on his face, and the strength of his hands could not help but increase. "Answer my question, or I will let you see the ghost of King Chen now."

The eunuch was horrified and said quickly, "I, I don't know, but it must be true. We saw it with our own eyes. All the doctors were waiting in the outer hall, coming in and out. The situation looked very urgent. The princess came and left crying. She also went to the Cining Palace. I guess she went to comfort the Queen Mother..."

"Don't say it's useless. Did you see with your own eyes that the emperor is seriously ill?"

The eunuch was about to cry, "I am of low status and have no right to serve the emperor, but that is what Eunuch Su said..."

Gu Chenan let him go and knocked him out with a machete.

After all, it's just a verbal rumor.

He would never believe it if he hadn't seen with his own eyes what happened to Gu Beihuai.

After all, with Gu Beihuai's cautious and cold personality, how could he be afraid of a mere ghost?

What's more, he is still standing here alive, so there is naturally no such thing as seeing his ghost.

After much thought, he decided not to take any more risks and went back to report to Yu Hongyan.

Little did he know that the noise he made by scaring the eunuchs and palace maids was seen by Leng Fengliefeng on the roof.

Leng Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling something was wrong, and immediately he and Lie Feng picked up the two butlers and used their lightness skills to jump to another roof which was very close to that place.

"Take a good look, is there your young master over there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an eunuch holding a red lantern slowly appeared in their sight.

The two butlers tried hard to open their eyes wide and see Gu Chenan's back clearly.

"Okay, it seems like our young master!"

Another butler gave a positive answer, "It's really our young master!!"

Lengfeng and Liefeng looked at each other and took action immediately.

"Chase!"

Behind them, many secret guards jumped out from the darkness and quickly chased towards the place where Gu Chenan had passed.

The two housekeepers saw this and shouted anxiously, "Put us down first before you leave!"

However, no one paid any attention to them, and Leng Feng, Lie Feng and others had long disappeared.

Not long after Gu Chenan walked towards Yunlian Palace, he noticed something was wrong behind him.

Even though the other party's footsteps were extremely slow, he still caught them keenly.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, but he did not panic. Instead, he turned around and walked towards another deserted and narrow palace road, then quickly quickened his pace.

The end of the palace road is the most desolate place in the palace.

Cold palace.

After the death of the previous emperor, many concubines in the cold palace still lived here. No one took care of it all year round. Many palaces had long been overgrown with weeds, and some palace walls even showed signs of collapse.

Leng Feng and Lie Feng were about to catch up with the man, but unexpectedly, the man disappeared as soon as they turned a corner.

Could it be that she was sent to the nearby cold palace?

This is troublesome. There are quite a few concubines in the cold palace. If we really start looking for them, we would have found that they have already disappeared.

But they had to find it anyway, so they immediately broke into the nearest cold palace.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

As soon as the door was pushed open, a series of shrill screams came from inside.

Leng Feng, Lie Feng and others were almost sent away by the harsh noise.

There were several concubines from the cold palace inside, all of them were in tattered clothes and looked crazy. After shouting, they pointed at them and laughed.

Leng Feng and Lie Feng decided to ignore them and immediately asked the secret guards behind them to search.

However, just as they were about to take action, the concubines pounced on them.

"Don't go, come and play with us~"

"Hey, hey, where are you going?"

They would grab any secret guard and hold him tightly, calling him "Emperor" over and over again.

This greatly hindered the actions of the secret guards.

After finally getting rid of the entanglement of the crazy concubines, they went to search the cold palace, but as expected, they found nothing, not even the slightest trace of Lu Jiuxiao.

They can only return in vain.

Little did they know that after they left, one of the crazy concubines lifted her messy hair to reveal a fair face.
