Eunuch Fu, filled with doubt and anticipation, went to Chaohua Palace.
He ordered a thorough search inside and out, but found nothing.
Of course, there were some oddities, at least half a piece of pastry was found in the rockery.
Eunuch Fu returned to report to the Emperor.
Yet, the news of haunting at Chaohua Palace spread like wildfire throughout the Imperial Palace.
The palace attendants gossiped endlessly.
Despite the rumors, not many were truly afraid.
Chaohua Palace was a forbidden area in the palace; no one dared to go there.
However, inevitably, this news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager of Yongning Palace.
The Empress Dowager didn't take it seriously, but Nanny Li did.
Nanny Zhou was thrown into the Lotus Pond by someone she sent, but after so many days, news of Nanny Zhou's accidental drowning has yet to spread.
The Empress was still sending people to search for Nanny Zhou.
Could it be that Nanny Zhou is not dead at all?
