Soon, it was night.
It was winter at night, and the sky was dark. The cold wind was whistling, rolling up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, making whooshing sounds.
Suddenly, with a bang, the door was blown open by the wind. Shanshan was so scared that she stood up abruptly.
Seeing that Shanshan was so timid, the maid in the same room asked hurriedly, "Shanshan, what's wrong with you?"
"The wind, the wind blew the door open!" Shanshan said nervously.
The maid said, "Isn't it just the wind blowing the door open? Just close it. Why are you so nervous? "
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door. Shanshan became nervous again. "Who is it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Xue came in with two maids.
As soon as Granny Xue saw Shanshan, she said in a low voice, "Shanshan, have you cleaned up the Cold Palace in your charge?"
Shanshan said hurriedly, "Yes, Granny!"
"You've cleaned it up? How dare you lie to me? Go and see for yourself. The yard of the Cold Palace is full of dead branches and leaves. It's not cleaned at all. Go and clean it again! "Granny Xue said coldly.
Shanshan shook her head hurriedly. "Granny Xue, I really cleaned it up. Those dead branches may have been blown here by the wind. Besides, it's dark now, and there's no one there. I don't dare to go there alone. "
At this time, a maid next to Granny Xue said, "Granny, it's dark and cold outside at night. The Cold Palace is often haunted. Let's not let Shanshan go there."
As soon as Shanshan heard the word "haunted", her body suddenly trembled.
Granny Xue said, "If she hasn't done anything wrong, what is she afraid of? Is she afraid that ghosts will come to her? "
"That's right. Shanshan, don't be afraid. Go and clean it up!" The maid said.
"But I've cleaned it this afternoon!" Shanshan thought that the Cold Palace was haunted and didn't dare to go there at once.
Granny Xue shouted coldly, "So what if you've cleaned it? We saw it just now. You swept the floor, but it was still dirty. Hurry up and clean it up. If you haven't cleaned it up in four hours, I'll punish you according to the palace rules! "
With that, Granny Xue left with her men!
Seeing Nanny Xue's cold back, the palace maid hurriedly picked up the broom and handed it to Shanshan. "Shanshan, Nanny Xue is our supervisor. You can't disobey her. Hurry up and clean up the Cold Palace again. Otherwise, be careful of getting flogged! "
Shanshan was afraid of being beaten, so she could only take the broom, pick up a small lantern, and slowly walk towards the cold palace.

There were very few people outside on a winter night, and there was no one on the road leading to the Cold Palace.
It was pitch-black all around. Shanshan walked alone on the palace road, trembling with fear. Her heart was pounding with fright.
Soon, she walked to the entrance of the Cold Palace and hung the lantern on the tree. Then, she looked around and quickly began to sweep the floor.
At this time, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, causing the lantern to sway.
Suddenly, there was a "pa" sound. The wind blew the lantern to the ground, and the candle in the lantern went out in an instant!
"Ah!" Seeing the lantern go out, Shanshan was so scared that she held the broom tightly. She looked up and found that it was dark and quiet all around.
There was no light in the sky, and the palace walls in the distance were so dark that she couldn't even see her own fingers.
Thinking of the haunted Cold Palace, she didn't dare to stay here. She was so scared that she picked up the broom and ran outside.
Suddenly, the cold wind was mixed with the sound of the evil ghost's breathing and heavy footsteps. Then, a white figure with disheveled hair and a dirty face floated in front of her.
