Ye Siming’s ears were red and he pretended to be cold.

“It’s time to get up. If you don’t continue now, it’ll be dark soon.”

Gu Nuo’er pouted and let go of his small hand. “Elder Brother Siming, why didn’t you wake me up earlier? Hmph.’

Ye Siming sighed and closed his eyes slightly.

If the little thing were to see that, how would he explain himself?

From then on, Ye Siming remained calm and no longer distracted.

Gu Nuo’er also added colors to the painting seriously.

The two of them worked until dusk and the setting sun dyed the surroundings golden.

Neither of them noticed it.

The butterfly from before landed on the former empress’s forehead for a long time before leaving.

Grand Consort Yu had been feeling uneasy for the past few days.

This was because Gu Rao had previously emphasized to her that she had seen a group of frogs on her bed.

However, when the two of them entered the room, there was nothing on the bed!

They had searched everywhere in the room, but there wasn’t even a bug, let alone a frog!

Grand Consort Yu immediately believed that Gu Rao was lying, even though Gu Rao cried and said that she had really seen it.

However, very quickly, Grand Consort Yu actually hallucinated.

For example, when she was sleeping at night, she would suddenly wake up and hear someone calling her from outside the window.

Through the half-open window, one could only see some black hair fluttering, but no figure could be seen reflected in the window.

Grand Consort Yu was so frightened that she called for the palace maid. When she lit the lamp, the palace maid opened the window, but there was nothing outside.

There was another time when she came back after reciting the sutra. She entered the room and wanted to drink some water.

However, she saw a phoenix seal stained with blood on her table!

It looked very similar to the one she had asked the late emperor to force the late empress to hand over when she plotted to frame the late empress back then!

Grand Consort Yu screamed and fell to the ground in fear.

When the palace maid rushed over again, there were only teacups and a teapot on the table.

There were many times in a row when Grand Consort Yu seemed to have gone crazy and would make a fuss over nothing.

Her son, the deposed prince, Gu Yongxuan, had been crying and feeling sad in his room every day.

When he knew that his mother had gone half-crazy and seemed to have bumped into a ghost, he even started to cry very softly, afraid that the ghost would come looking for him!

Gu Rao also silently avoided Grand Consort Yu.

On this day, Grand Consort Yu went to recite sutras as usual.

The hallucination torture she had suffered for the past few days made her dispirited and she didn’t even dare to sleep.

Her face showed her old age. Her eye circles were thick and dark, and there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that couldn’t be covered.

Grand Consort Yu quickly walked into the temple hall.

Usually, she was unwilling to come and chant scriptures for the late empress, but now, she treated this place as her shelter!

The hall was filled with gods and Buddhas. Ghosts couldn’t possibly follow her in here, right?!

However, when Grand Consort Yu picked up the Buddhist scriptures, she looked up and heard Empress Chi’s voice.

There was also a cold wind that brushed past her neck!

“Why aren’t you kneeling when you’re chanting sutras?”

Grand Consort Yu would never mistake this voice for anything else!

She fell to the ground in fear and howled angrily as if she had gone crazy. “Madam Chi! I know it’s you! You must be the one behind this! You want to scare me to death? I’m not afraid of you!”

When the palace maids outside the hall saw her like this, they looked at each other.

They watched as Grand Consort Yu roared crazily inside before rolling back and forth as if she was being kicked around.

The commotion she caused was so big that it frightened the young palace maids.

In the end, the imperial guards came in and carried the dying Grand Consort Yu away.

She kept muttering, “Madam Chi… was sitting on the altar. I saw her… She must be here to take my life!”

When the news that Grand Consort Yu had gone crazy and was plagued by a ghost reached the ears of the various palaces…

Gu Nuo’er had also heard about it.

The child’s eyes were black and bright, suffused with a lively glow. She smiled and said to Wanyin, “If you don’t do anything wrong, you don’t have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door! You’ll only be afraid of everything if you have a guilty conscience..”
