Again, it was just as Xue Hengzhao expected.
After two days of silence, Miwuyuan became uneasy again.
Of course, it's still at night.
It was a dark day and the candles had just been lit.
Xue Hengzhao slept when he had nothing to do, no matter day or night.
While washing the handkerchief, Chi Su said with a smile: "I didn't realize you were so good at sleeping before, thank you for being able to lie down.
If I did the same thing, I'm afraid not only would I not be able to sleep, but I would also get a headache from the pillow. "
Xue Hengzhao ignored her and just slept with himself.
After spending the past few days together, they have come to understand each other's temperaments somewhat.
Chi Su knew that Xue Hengzhao was cold by nature, not deliberately towards anyone, but towards everyone.
Xue Hengzhao also knew that Chi Su was outspoken, so she said to just let her say it and ignore it.
"You smart people probably all have some quirks," Chi Su started folding clothes again, "I have a distant relative, and people say he is extremely smart. He has never lost a game of chess, and he has a photographic memory of reading.
But it just likes to live in trees. It builds a big nest and doesn't allow others to go up. "
Chi Su was about to continue talking, and the candle went out with a whoosh.
Because the moon has already risen, once the candles in the room are extinguished, it will be brighter outside than inside.
"It's fine, how could the candle go out?" Chi Su said, trying to find his way over and light the candle again.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed past the window.
"Who?!" Chi Su shouted.
Of course no one answered.
Xue Hengzhao opened his eyes at this time, rested his forehead on one hand, and looked out the window quietly.
Chi Su has also touched the fire fold and is ready to light the candle.
But not long after it was lit, the candle went out again.
And another black shadow floated by outside.
This time I could see clearly that the man was slender, with disheveled hair, and seemed to have a rope hanging around his neck.
This situation reminds people of Liu Guiren who hanged himself here a few months ago.
Chi Su was frightened and stepped back, stepping on the copper basin with a clang.
This situation, regardless of whether it is a ghost or not, would be frightening to anyone who suddenly saw it.
However, Xue Hengzhao reached out and pinched Chi Su's waist, causing her to cry out in pain.
"You..." Chi Su turned around and asked Xue Hengzhao why he was pinching himself.
However, Xue Hengzhao took the first step and covered her mouth and said, "Pretend you are scared, hurry up!"
Chi Su screamed, shouting "There's a ghost" and "Help".
I didn't forget to take the opportunity to ask Xue Hengzhao in a low voice: "Why don't you call me?"
"I've fainted from fright." Xue Hengzhao replied.
Chi Su then shouted: "Miss Xue! Miss Xue, wake up! Don't scare me!"
The ghostly shadow outside heard the movement inside and wandered in front of the window twice more.
He even let out a low cry.
It was so noisy for a long time, and then it gradually calmed down.
Chi Su's voice had become hoarse, and Xue Hengzhao fell asleep again.
"Those people are really evil and they are getting worse." Chi Su said.
"That's natural," Xue Hengzhao said with a small yawn, "I'm afraid they don't know that we have discovered the secret on the door panel. They just pretend that we are not afraid of that."
"This candle is the same, why is it so suitable for the occasion!" At this time, Chi Su had already lit the candle again and didn't find anything wrong.
"There are many ways to extinguish a candle if you want it to stay burning. Just do some tricks on the wick or wax oil." Xue Hengzhao said, "You can either break off a small section of the wick, or pour water into it. Or some other method, it’s not difficult at all.”
"So that's it. I'm still wondering. There's no wind in this room. Why did the candle go out?" Chi Su said, "Then what should I do next? Do you pretend to be scared every day?"
"Next we have to catch ghosts." Xue Hengzhao said, "I'm sure he will come again tomorrow night. We have to set a trap as soon as possible."
As soon as Chi Su heard that she was going to set a trap to catch ghosts, she immediately became energetic and asked, "Please tell me how to do it?"
"You said you like hunting. Have you always made animal traps? Let's make a simple one." Xue Hengzhao said.
"Where are the materials?" Chi Su asked, "There is nothing useful in this room."
"Go to Lin Fufei, she is in the Xixin Department. Every year during the winter solstice, the palace will remove a batch of old chopsticks." Xue Hengzhao said, "These chopsticks were eventually sent to the Xixin Department to be burned as firewood.
If you ask her for dozens of bamboo chopsticks, no one will care about them and they won't cause trouble. "
Chi Su had already vaguely guessed Xue Hengzhao's intention, so he agreed: "It's easy, I will go find her tomorrow."
The next day, not long after Chi Sugang went out, Jin Yu'e came to Shi Shiran.
He smiled and said to Xue Hengzhao: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, why does Miss Xue seem to have lost her virginity again?
Since we separated, I have been thinking about you. I finally have time to come over and take a look today. Isn’t Miss Chi here? "
Although Jin Yu'e is also a palace maid, she is dressed much more decently than Xue Hengzhao and the others, and her face looks good.
The frostbite on my hands is still there, but it is healing.
"Miss Xue, with a talent like yours, what must you do to make yourself suffer?
Now that we have reached this point, we no longer need to care about those false reputations. Wouldn’t it be nice to really enjoy a few good days?
To be honest, I don’t know how many people want to change with you, but it’s a pity that we don’t have that blessing.
From the first time I saw you, I loved you from the bottom of my heart.
I really want to be a pair of close sisters with you, sharing weal and woe. "
When Jin Yu'e said these words, her expression was very natural, without any embarrassment.
"In that case, you can stay here tonight." Xue Hengzhao suddenly smiled. Her smile was as beautiful as the snow lotus blooming in the frozen mountains.
Everyone knows that Miwuyuan is haunted. How could a person like Jin Yue not know this?
She changed her expression slightly, then immediately adjusted herself, and said with a smile: "It is naturally an honor for me to be invited by you. It's a pity that we can't help ourselves, and it's my turn to go to the night over there today.
We are low-key people and do whatever is arranged by the superiors. How can we dare to make our own decisions? I think you can certainly understand. "
"You'd better go back to Tong'an Palace and do your job properly." Xue Hengzhao lowered his eyelids as if he was shooing away a fly, "I know you want to do favors. You came here and said it. Manager Qian can also explain it. Gotta get over it.
As for saying that you want to be my close sister, there is no need to say it in the future. You are a smart person and I am not a fool.
It's better not to say it than to make each other laugh secretly. "
Seeing Xue Hengzhao's cold attitude, Jin Yu'e naturally refused to agree.
Coupled with what she said next, it was obvious that she was rejecting herself thousands of miles away.
But she was still not annoyed and said with a smile: "Miss Xue, no matter what you think of me, I actually tell the truth.
As the saying goes, mountains and rivers never meet, but people will eventually meet. There is a day for us to meet in the future!
If you want my help one day, just ask. "
