Huifen POV
Me and Maomao were in the kitchen cooking untill Guiyan came in.
"Maomao, Huifen, what are you making?" She stood near the door frame as her hands were balled up on her hips like when we first saw her.
"It's a cold remedy." Maomao stirred the food infront of her as I watch.
"Wow you can make those too?" She didn't look shocked just a little surprised.
I grab some of the leaves and put it in the bowling pot in front of me. Just then Guiyan went behind us and started shaking us slightly with tears on the side of her eyes.
"Are you two sure you don't need anything? Have you guys been eating well?" She lightly hugged the both of us then went to check our bandaged arms.
"Well thanks to you, yes." I sweat drop a little.
"Please don't keep your troubles to yourselves!" She then started crying, tears rolling down her smooth cheek.
"Are you alright Guiyan?" I worried for her wondering why she is crying. She nods and grabs a cloth and dumps it in water while grabbing a dry cloth and cleans the walls and dries it.
"So, have you two heard the new rumor that has been going around resantly? Everyone's has been talking about it." Guiyan asked.
"No." I shook my head.
"They say a spirit has been haunting the rear palace."Guiyan says.
Me and Maomao paused.
"Spirit eh?" Then we continue cooking while Guiyan is cleaning.
As we finished cooking we gave it to the people and left to go outside and sit with the brunette girl again.
"So have you heard of the new rumor thats been going around?" I asked Maomao's friend
She slamend her hands on the table making it shake.
"YES! I've heard that one! The ghostly lady in white right?!" She beamed standing up
"So, it's famous?" Maomao questioned.
"All of the servants, eunchus, and concubines are talking all about it! I think it started a few weeks ago. They say a ghostly lady in white, dances in the air under the moonlight! And she appears every night at the eastern walls!" The brunette went from aloud talking to whispering.
"The castle walls are completely surround the rear palace. So basically the only way to enter is through the four gates that are on the north, south, east and west" I started explaining what I was thinking, as Maomao continued the rest for me.
"The gates are always guarded, and the walls are surrounded a moat. Sneaking in or out would be impossible. They say in the sunken moats are.... The corpse of concubines, who tried to escape, in other words, just your typical ghost story." Maomao explained.
"What should I do if I see the spirit for real?" She cried.
"Its just a rumor." I calmly. ' There's no way that the spirit around the castle... I might have to find out myself...'
Me and Maomao then get up and go to the quack doctors dojo with a vase with medicine inside of it.
"Excuse me. Could you perhaps take a look at this medicine?" I ask
"Ah. Hello girls. One moment" We went inside and set the vase down as we sat down. The Quack doctor came back with food as I drooled of the delicious sight.
"Sorry for the wait"
Maomao practically had cat ers and a tail, but not actually.
"Wow!" They exclaimed.
