Chapter 127 Changing Yards

Chu Yu went to take a look at the maid's room. The scene inside was extremely bloody. Even with her strong heart, she almost vomited.

"Princess, they are saying that it is the ghost of the maid who was caned last time who is haunting us."

A maid said with a trembling voice, her scalp tingling.

Chu Yu snorted coldly, "There are no ghosts in the world, I'm just afraid that someone is causing trouble."

"Okay, let them clean up this room tomorrow, and the maids can be assigned to other rooms!"

This room is no longer habitable. Who would dare to live here?
Chu Yu returned to the old concubine's room, "Yu'er, what's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Because I was woken up in the middle of the night, my voice sounded weak.

Chu Yu changed her clothes, "Princess, something happened outside. A cat ran into the maid's room and died inside. The maid was scared to death!"

The old concubine snorted coldly, "It's just a cat, what's there to be afraid of? That maid is so ignorant of etiquette, she should be fined one month's salary!"

Chu Yu paused slightly, "Old concubine and uncle, you can't tell right from wrong."

"Okay, Yu'er got it."

Chu Yu thought, he would pay the money first, and then buy some other things!
The old concubine slept uneasily and woke up several times in the middle of the night.

Chu Yu also got up a few times.

The next day, it was almost noon when the old concubine felt she had had enough sleep.

The maids in the yard all looked pale, and some looked dazed. The emperor specially sent people to the maids' rooms to search, but no clues were found.

The next night, there was another scream.

Chu Yu opened his eyes suddenly and felt his scalp tingling instantly. What happened again?
The old concubine's heart was pounding and she waved at Chu Yu.

"Yu'er, tell me, what happened yesterday?"

There was a chill in her voice, and now she no longer believed Chu Yu's lies from yesterday.

Chu Yu paused, "My Lady Concubine, a skinned raccoon cat was found in the maid's room yesterday. The raccoon cat was hanging on the beam, right in front of the maid's head, with blood all over its face and on the wall as well!"

She didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything that happened yesterday.

No wonder the maids and eunuchs were taken away for questioning yesterday. It turned out to be for this reason.

The old concubine took a deep breath, "Have you found out who did it? Any clues?"

"The Dali Temple is investigating, but there are no clues."

"These maids are saying that this is the maid who was beaten to death last time, but Yu'er doesn't believe in ghosts and gods!"

She looked determined, without a trace of fear.

The old concubine felt relieved, but suddenly had a guess.

"Could it be those two families?"

What she said was vague, but Chu Yu immediately understood what she meant.

"Yu'er has been sending people to monitor us. There are not many people left in Prince Han's mansion. Most of them have been taken away by Prince Han!"

"As for the Mu family... they are all women, and they don't have any contact with anyone."

"Where is Mu Qingqing?" The old concubine snorted coldly. She disliked Mu Qingqing. Not only did she steal Yu'er's good marriage, but she was also a fool.

Chu Yu was rarely silent for a while, "Yuer feels that she doesn't have that ability!"

The old concubine said this for a while, then waved her hand tiredly, "Alright, let's go see what's going on outside and comfort them!"

"Yes, Toffee!"

Chu Yu walked out of the room, and the maids huddled together, trembling.

Chu Yu glanced at everyone with a slightly cold look in his eyes, "What's going on?"

"My Lord...another dead animal. This time it's a sheep. Its death was similar to that of the raccoon cat."

A maid stepped forward, fear in her eyes, but she replied respectfully.

At this time, a maid knelt in front of Chu Yu, crying, "Princess, please, don't let us live in the east yard, can we change to another yard?" Another maid knelt in front of her, "Princess, please open the door, we don't want to die, wuwu, it's so scary!"

Chu Yu looked at the maid lying at her feet and wanted to kick her out.

"Okay, clean up a yard on the other side and you guys move over there first."

At this moment, there was a bright fire outside.

"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"

This incident eventually attracted the emperor, and everyone quickly knelt down.

The emperor and the empress walked into the yard and looked at Chu Yu who was kneeling in the front, their eyes flickering slightly.

"Princess, please stand up. How is your mother? Is she frightened? I have asked the imperial physician to come over."

Chu Yu was about to answer when the old concubine in the room coughed, "I'm fine, Your Majesty, please come in and talk!"

The two looked at each other and walked in together.

The queen saw that the old concubine was pale and leaning weakly on the bed, so she quickly asked the imperial physician to come in.

The imperial physician felt the pulse and said after a while, "The Concubine was frightened and did not sleep well at night, which is why she is much weaker. I will prescribe some medicine for you to take on time."

"Okay, let's get down!"

The emperor said solemnly.

The imperial physician quickly stepped back and left.

"Mother, I will change the courtyard for you!"

The emperor spoke, and the queen twitched her lips slightly. This courtyard was the best except for the courtyard of the empress dowager. Did the emperor want the concubine to live in the empress dowager's courtyard?
This is unreasonable.

The old concubine raised her eyelids, her mind moved slightly, and she wanted to agree, but it was inevitable to be criticized.

While the two were guessing, the emperor continued, "I renovated a new courtyard before the New Year, which is similar to this one."

"But it is more quiet inside, very suitable for you to worship Buddha in peace, and you won't be disturbed. I wonder if mother agrees?"

It turns out to be a new yard.

The old concubine was disappointed, but she didn't dare to show it. She coughed and said, "It's all up to the emperor!"

After the arrangements were made, the emperor ordered the people to move as soon as daybreak. The location was a little off the beaten track, but the decoration inside was particularly good, with a long corridor, rockery and pond.

The yard and rooms are large, and the specifications are even a little higher than the original ones.

The old concubine had nothing to be dissatisfied with, and it was indeed suitable for self-cultivation.

After moving into the new yard, no strange things happened again.

The original courtyard, the maids' courtyard, was sealed off, leaving only people to do daily cleaning.

This case had been investigated for a long time, but there were no clues, and in the end it became a cold case.

The legend of ghost revenge became popular in the palace, but of course everyone talked about it in secret and no one dared to discuss it loudly.

After all, the old concubine is not such a kind person.

The old concubine has been in a bad mood recently. Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I can imagine the horrific scene from the descriptions of several people.

She had nightmares for several days in a row, turning the Buddhist beads in her hands from time to time, and even went into the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha.

The palace became much quieter for a while.

After all, the old concubine was old and had been frightened, so the illness lasted for half a month before she recovered.

Chu Yu and the Queen personally attended to the patient, boiled and served medicine, and slept in their clothes.

After the old empress recovered from her illness, the queen returned to her own courtyard.

The old concubine's birthday is in a few days, and her first birthday after returning must be celebrated with great fanfare.

But it doesn’t matter, she doesn’t need to worry about it, after all, the Second Prince’s mother is in charge of the harem!
