Chapter 39: Walking at night and bumping into ghosts
The moon is rising above the willow trees, and the Prince's Mansion looks particularly peaceful at this moment. The cherry blossoms above my head are falling silently. I hold a lantern and walk among the graceful shadows of flowers while looking left and right.
During dinner, Qi Chenxuan sent word that he would sleep in the study tonight. The curiosity from the day was weighing on my heart. I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, so I simply got up and sneaked to the west courtyard.
, I plan to go to Zhulou to find out!
Anyway, everyone is almost asleep at this time, so there is no need to worry about being discovered. I can stay in there as long as I want. I don’t believe that guy will know...
The evening wind blows by, bringing with it a hint of chill. When it blows on people, they feel the chilly wind, which makes people's hair stand on end!
Suddenly, my shoulder seemed to be touched by something, and a chill quickly spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body. My whole body felt like I had been stabbed in acupuncture points. I stood there with my eyes wide open, and there was only one thought left in my mind:
"It's over, it's over. It turns out that if you walk too much at night, you will really encounter ghosts!"
Moreover, the ghost can actually speak, "Madam, are you okay?"
Wha, what?
My head went blank for a moment, and the lantern in my hand fell to the ground with a "pop" sound. I blinked in disbelief, turned around, and saw Zui'er standing behind me in single clothes with a nervous look on his face, confused.
He asked me: "Madam, are you okay? Why are you coming to the cherry garden alone if you don't sleep so late?"
"I..." I stood at a loss under the cherry blossom tree and said in embarrassment: "I, I... I am sleepwalking... yes, I am sleepwalking... hehe... hehehe..."
Then, as if he suddenly woke up, he looked around casually and said, "Eh? How could I sleepwalk to this kind of ghost place? Come on, let's go, let's go... Eh, it's so cold!"
Then, before Zui'er could react, he rushed out of the west courtyard. Damn it, I was so unlucky to sneak out in the middle of the night and be discovered. I really don't know who the people in this house are!
"Madam, wait for me!" Seeing that my figure was about to disappear at the entrance of the cherry garden, Zui'er rushed forward and called me anxiously. Her voice was particularly clear in this cold night!
