Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 877 The Legend of the Dark River 29

At that time, Li Chu and Shen Meizhuang personally went to Yanxi Palace to comfort An Lingrong.

Seeing Bai Hehuai winking at her, Li Chu nodded slightly.

She found an excuse to send Shen Meizhuang, who still wanted to visit Suiyuxuan, back to Xianfu Palace.

Not long after Li Chu returned to Suiyu Pavilion with Liu Zhu.

Bai Hehuai arrived at Suiyuxuan alone, accompanied only by palace maids.

Mu Yumo's current identity is that of a member of Consort Hua's camp, so it is naturally not appropriate for her to come.

It seems that the two of them have figured out the general situation during this period of time.

As soon as Bai Hehuai entered Suiyuxuan, she saw Mu Qingyang, dressed as a eunuch, coming to greet her, and couldn't help but chuckle.

When no one else was watching, Mu Qingyang glared silently, as if to say that she was still smiling.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" the palace maid following behind immediately asked.

Bai Hehuai knew something was wrong as soon as she heard that, so she quickly tried to cover it up: "Ahem, the little eunuch here in Wanchang seems quite clever."

"That's Xiao Yunzi. The fact that Sister Xin praised him for being clever means he's a good person. Sister is here, come into the hall and let's talk."

Hearing the sound, Li Chu also came out with a smile.

Bai Hehuai stepped forward: "I didn't disturb you, did I? This morning I felt an instant connection with my sister, so I thought I'd drop by for a visit."

"I won't bother you. I'm naturally happy to have more people to talk to."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the hall.

Li Chu sent the palace maids to serve tea and snacks, and Bai Hehuai also specially asked his maids to help.

Only when it's just the two of them can they have a proper conversation.

“Li...Wan, we…”

Seeing that Bai Hehuai was hesitant and dared not speak directly.

Li Chu continued, "Sister has been in the palace for a long time and must be more experienced than me. It's right to be cautious in your words and actions, but you can speak your mind freely here when there are no outsiders around."

"Since that's the case, then I'll be frank. The palace is fine, but lately I've been easily startled at night, and I often hear some unreal sounds in my dreams."

On her first night there, she finally managed to fall asleep, only to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone calling her from outside.

And the palace maids and eunuchs around her would change their expressions from time to time.

Most importantly, everyone always encourages her to make mistakes, and she can easily break the rules without realizing it.

I have to be extra careful every day; it's even more tiring than when I treated patients in Beili before.

"I really don't know what's going on?"

Bai Hehuai was asking about the true nature of this world governed by rules.

Li Chu naturally understood what she meant.

"As long as you don't do anything out of line in the palace, you should be fine."

"So, is there a specific end date?"

"Take it one step at a time."

Right now, she can only follow the rules; she hasn't found a way out yet.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hehuai fell silent.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly remembered: "Yesterday it was my younger sister who served me in bed..."

She had seen the Emperor once at the New Year's Eve banquet; he was an older, rather portly man.

Anyway, if they were to serve the emperor, it would definitely be against their will, and it would be a complete injustice to them.

Ever since she arrived here and learned that she had become a concubine, she had been constantly worried about serving the emperor.

I even thought that if things really came to that, I would just knock the person unconscious if all else failed.

Fortunately, neither she nor the beautiful Mu were favored, as neither of them had served the emperor in bed these past few days.

They both knew what she was talking about before she finished speaking.

Li Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. Although I'm inexperienced, I won't offend the Emperor. Everything was fine last night."

Her words carried a deeper meaning.

Having understood what he meant, Bai Hehuai breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the matter of serving the emperor in bed should be arranged in another way.

At this moment, Liu Zhu and the others also returned with tea and snacks.

Bai Hehuai originally wanted to tell Li Chu that he knew who these people were and what their current identities were.

She learned about her father, Su Muyu, Su Changhe, and Mu Yumo's identities from the New Year's Eve banquet on her first day there.

At that moment, they all tacitly kept quiet.

Because they discovered that their internal energy was sealed, everyone decided to wait and see how things unfolded in the unknown areas.

After the banquet ended and she returned home, she found a piece of paper filled with rules in her bedroom.

My first reaction was that I didn't intend to do it.

But as soon as this thought came to mind, a surge of pressure welled up inside me.

Then, Bai Hehuai slowly began to feel suffocated, as if the air was getting thinner and thinner, and a black mist gradually filled his vision.

It was the first time she felt death was so close, but she was able to accept it and immediately gave in.

The moment I thought about accepting the rules, all the threats vanished instantly.

She knew then that this strange world of rules was one they couldn't defy.

Li Chu watched her eating snacks in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bai Hehuai originally planned to find an opportunity to reveal the identities of the other people.

Then I realized that everyone is bound by these rules now, so I should look for another opportunity.

If you said anything strange in front of her maids, you would easily be exposed. Just thinking about how she would change her expression still gives me the creeps.

Thinking of this, Bai Hehuai quickly finished a piece of pastry and took a sip of tea.

"Sister, I'm planning to go back now. I was thinking of going to the Princess's residence to see Shuhe later."

This is the protective shield for my identity.

The rules state that visiting the daughter with this identity more often can dispel the darkness.

This darkness must be referring to the ghosts and monsters that haunt you at night.

She found that every time she visited Princess Shuhe, no sound would disturb her that night.

But she couldn't go to see the princess every day, otherwise she would definitely run to the princess's place every day.

Li Chu nodded: "Then I'll take my sister there."

"No need, no need, it's just a few steps, don't get up." Bai Hehuai said, then stood up and left with the palace maid.

Hsin Chang-zai was originally a very energetic and talkative person.

Her performance wasn't particularly similar, but it wasn't abrupt either.

For the next seven days, Big Fatty Orange only dated Li Chu and even took her to the hot spring palace.

They even went so far as to decorate a bridal chamber in a crazy way.

In the dim candlelight, the chubby old man stared intently at Li Chu: "Wanwan, do you like it?"

Li Chu resisted the urge to roll her eyes and pondered how to answer.

She had just finished washing up and taking a bath; the dark eyebrows on her face were all washed off, and the amulet was gone.

Because there was no immediate response, the temperature inside the hall quickly grew colder and colder.

There was a chilling wind blowing through the bones, a cold sensation.

Xie Qianji, who was standing outside the door and was now serving as the emperor's personal attendant, also sensed that something was amiss inside.

Looking back at the tightly closed palace gates, I wonder if Miss Li Chu will be able to escape this calamity tonight.

Thinking of those bizarre rules, and the dangers posed to him by people of higher status every day.
