Chapter 1242 (1/2)
”Yes, I'll leave.” Several palace maids did not know what had happened and bowed back one after another.
After several maids left, the Empress Dowager returned to calm. She sat on the bed. Mammy Wen wiped her sweat and said, ”find a way to remove these maids.”
”Yes, Empress Dowager.” Mother Wen knew that the Empress Dowager was always dignified. If such a thing was spread, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Empress Dowager. Therefore, these palace maids could only blame themselves for their misfortune, but they came across the Empress Dowager's gaffe.
”Did you find the cat?” Asked the Empress Dowager.
Mother Wen shook her head and said, ”after looking around, she didn't find anything. It's estimated that some wild cat came to Shouning hall.”
The Empress Dowager looked cold and said, ”check all around here tomorrow. Once you find the shadow of the cat, you will throw it out. AI Jia doesn't even want to see the shadow of the cat.”
”Yes, I'll do it early tomorrow morning.” Mother Wen said.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes deeply, recalled some old things in her mind, and murmured, ”I saw her just now.”
Mother Wen gave a meal.
”Concubine Liu, her face is rotten. She said she would come to ask for the life of the mourning family.”
Mother Wen was also startled at this.
”Mammy, do you think the mourners will not live long? Even those who have died for decades have come to ask for their lives.” The Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes and said.
”Empress Dowager!” Mother Wen knelt down and said, ”you're just dreaming. Princess Liu is dead, and you're the Empress Dowager. She can't fight you when she was born, and even more when she died!”
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager gradually showed a glimmer in the bottom of her eyes, ”yes, AI family is still alive. AI family is the Empress Dowager. Her concubine Liu has already turned into white bones. What is AI family afraid of her?”
”Yes, the empress dowager, it's all over. The only people who knew about it were maidservants and you. Don't worry.” Mother Wen comforted and said.
The Empress Dowager also thought so, and a big stone in her heart was slowly put down. Only when she looked at the window and thought of the white shadow that didn't know the truth just now, she still felt scared in her heart.
”Empress dowager, it's just late at night. Please have a rest.” Mother Wen said.
The Empress Dowager nodded, slowly lay down and said, ”remember, look everywhere tomorrow. Once you find the trace of the cat, eradicate it immediately. AI family should not see the cat in this life, especially the white cat!”
When Princess Liu was hoisted from the bottom of the well, the rotten white cat on her body was covered with maggots and gave off a stench. She looked at it and vomited wildly. She couldn't forget the scene and smell for many days.
”Yes, I remember.” Mother Wen waited on the Empress Dowager to sleep before she left the bedroom.

Changchun palace.
Feng Yunzheng and Lian Xiangyue are sitting in the room. It's late at night, but neither of them has fallen asleep. Feng Yunzheng reads the book under the candle.
Lian Xiangyue is studying calligraphy and writing Luoshen Fu.
After a while, a calm voice came from the door, ”Your Highness, princess.”
Lian Yueh put down her brush and said, ”come in!”
When the door opened, Lengmei came in. She had some water in her clothes and a wet white dress in her hand. She went to them and said, ”Your Highness, princess.”
”How?” Lian Xiangyue asked.
