The palace was shrouded in a ghostly green, exuding a chilling gleam.
At the appearance of the apparition, the palace women all rose abruptly, retreating in panic.
The scene before them was as if a ghost had materialized.
Those afraid of ghosts either harbor guilt or are simply ignorant.
Shen Yue remained still, observing the emerging woman.
The woman, dressed in white, had a pale face and slightly disheveled black hair, resembling the spectral Sadako.
Though not terrifying in appearance, her presence instilled a sense of dread.
Following Empress Zheng's cry, the woman's gaze briefly flickered to Empress Zheng before focusing on Zhao Fujin. In her eyes, a glint of joy appeared.
Zhao Fujin showed no fear; whether the woman was human, ghost, fairy, or monster, she was her mother.
"Mother!"
Zhao Fujin, filled with grievances, spread her arms and rushed toward the woman.
The crowd opened their mouths but found themselves voiceless.
