After my reintroduction to something from my childhood, I spent the next day lounging around in my room, playing with Li Yue and conversing with the servants as they asked me questions about yesterday.
Their reactions were all the same as I told them that I believe the thing haunting the Palace was a Heart Demon, specifically one that I had created when I was a child.
Only I could see it, it was fixated on me, and it was evil.
It checked most of the boxes needed for a Heart Demon, and when you add on the fact that I had been close to formulating one after Gao Chen had forced herself on me, well...
While I may not be a genius, even I could tell that when you put two and two together, you get four.
Armed with this newfound knowledge, An made her way to the library to research what she could, bringing along some of the normal servants that occupied the outer edges of the Palace so that she would have safety in numbers.
