"According to the two thieves, there are two men and one woman inside. According to the guesses of my subordinates, they should be Ouyang Ruixiang and Chi Xiaomin. The woman, judging from the description of the thieves, should be Miss Chi." Gan Nan.
Said softly, "Moreover, if this woman is Miss Chi, then the 'female ghost' they call may be Miss Chi, but how could Miss Chi know the detoxification method of Hongzhu, and this method is Princess Calyx's secret method?"
The antidote she came up with before she died is only known to a few people related to Wumeng State, how did she know about it?"
Sima thought for a while, "Could it be true what she said before, that she can be a psychic?"
"It should be." Gan Nan nodded and said, "I heard from the two thieves that Miss Chi appeared very suddenly. At that time, they attacked Ouyang and Chi Xiaomin, and then at this time, they suddenly heard a
The woman's voice sounded very gentle. The strangest thing was that she could put out the lit candle by raising her hand, and said that if the candle was lit again, something would happen to them. In other words, Ouyang lit it at that time
Candle, when they went in, Chi Xiaomin had already fainted, so everything was caused by Ouyang. He lit the candle and used a small oxygen machine to protect his mouth and nose. After Miss Chi appeared, she immediately
I knew the candle was poisonous, so I put it out immediately."
"I told Xiaowan about the poisonous candles. It's not surprising that she knew. What's strange is, how did she let the candle go out without blowing it?" Sima frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "And, she can
She knows how to remove the poison from the red candle. If Yi'er hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known it—"
"By the way, the thieves said, Miss Chi said, she is the owner of this place." Gan Nan suddenly remembered and said, "She told the thieves that she was the former owner of this place, and she is the person in the painting. In that painting
The person must be the empress! In other words, Miss Chi was indeed one with the empress at that time, or, as everyone calls it, psychic!"
Sima didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
"Master, maybe we can learn about the empress through Miss Chi." Gan Nan said excitedly, "We can even let the empress live in Miss Chi. Anyway, Miss Chi and the empress look very similar, so it will definitely work!"
Looking at the excited Gan Nan, Sima sighed softly in his heart, is this good? Is this okay? Is this fair to Xiao Wan?
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Gan Nan didn't see Sima's response and was a little surprised. Looking at Sima, he saw confusion and doubts on his face.
"Let me think about it. I think Yi'er will not be willing to hurt an innocent life. If she attaches her soul to Xiaowan, Xiaowan's life will end. She will definitely not be willing. Maybe, she is just
What do you want to convey to us?" Sima said slowly, "We need to know the details of what happened that night, help me contact the two thieves, and repeat the situation."
"Okay." Gan Nan nodded and backed out.
Xiaoyi stood at the door, watching Gan Nan come out, and immediately asked: "What did the master say?"
"He didn't agree. He said that would hurt Chi Xiaowan's life." Gan Nan looked back at the closed door, "The master already has sympathy for Xiaowan. I think he has hesitated.
Between him and Xiao Wan, if it had been before, he would have chosen without hesitation to let the empress' soul attach to Xiao Wan's body."
"However, if the soul of the empress is really attached to Xiaowan, Xiaowan will be really pitiful. She loves her master so deeply. If the soul of the empress is attached to her, Xiaowan will be equivalent to non-existence." Xiaoyi
He sighed, hesitated, and said softly, "If the empress really has a soul, if she really comes back, will she be able to adapt to her current life?"
Gan Nan glanced at Xiao Yi and said nothing.
"I'm telling the truth." Xiaoyi said seriously, "The master has lived for thousands of years, but the empress's soul suddenly reappeared. I mean, if the empress's soul is real, she may still be in the memory of the Daxing Dynasty.
I don’t quite adapt to our current situation.”
"The master doesn't live completely in this real space. He spends most of his time hiding in that distant place. Okay, let's not talk about this problem anymore. If the queen comes back, the master will naturally have a solution. With the queen's
If they are smart, it will not be a problem to adapt to the current society, not to mention that they may not necessarily live here." Gan Nan sighed, "You are right, the master's worry is not unreasonable. In this case, for Xiaowan
, it’s really unfair.”
Xiaoyi sighed, "I'd better go and communicate with Xiaowan."
"What are you communicating about?" Gan Nan asked puzzledly.
"Discuss with her whether it is more important to love the master or your own life." Xiaoyi sighed again, "Looking at Xiaowan loving the master, I felt really uncomfortable and unbearable. On the one hand, I thought that the empress would come back soon.
As long as the empress comes back, the master will be happy! On the other hand, looking at Xiao Wan, I feel that she is very innocent. She just unfortunately fell in love with our master, a man who only has the empress in his heart. In fact, if she doesn't remember all this,
Maybe she will be happy, at least she can let her body belong to her master, even though her soul no longer exists."
Gan Nan didn't understand what he heard and shook his head, "I really don't understand what you women are thinking. Okay, let's not worry about it anymore. The master wants to see those two thieves. Let's find a way to bring them over. By the way, I'm really worried."
I’m curious, who stole this red candle?”
"No matter who stole it, the final result is that it is very likely to be troubled by Hongzhu." Xiaoyi said disdainfully, "This is like shooting yourself in the foot."
Chi Xiaowan returned to her room, lay on the bed to rest, and soon fell asleep. This time, she once again dreamed of the image she had often dreamed about before. She had often had a strange dream since she was a child, always in her dreams.
I hide and seek with another person, and then one of them hides, and the other one looks for it, but can't find it. I don't know where I have hidden myself?!
Every time I wake up from a dream, I feel confused.
However, this time, she was still searching in her dream, but suddenly she heard her familiar voice smiling softly, calling her, "Xiaowan, you are here." Looking back, it was Cong Yier in ancient costume, smiling.
Looking at her, it was like looking into a mirror, and then when she stood up, it was like her shadow and body merged together, and then, she was standing in a dream, no longer hesitating or panicking.
When I opened my eyes, I didn't remember much about the scene in my dream. I just remembered that I had a dream, but I couldn't remember the content of the dream. I sat up and heard the sound of rain outside. I felt very comfortable. I put on a coat and walked to the window.
Open the windows and let the wind and rain hit your face.
Turning his head to see Xiaoyi, Chi Xiaowan was not surprised at all, "It's so late, why are you here? Is something wrong?"
Xiaoyi was a little strange, how could Chi Xiaowan find her? She was clearly in the dark, thinking about how to talk to Chi Xiaowan without scaring Chi Xiaowan, but Chi Xiaowan spoke to her first.
She seemed to have gotten up from the bed, went to the window, opened the window, looked at the wind and rain, looked back and saw herself standing in the dark corner, and then asked softly.
"It's okay, how did you see me?" Xiaoyi said with a smile, "I originally wanted to wait here for you to wake up before talking, but I didn't expect you woke up in the middle, which shocked me."
"I saw you when I turned my head." Chi Xiaowan said with the same smile, "Knowing your identities and special features, there is nothing surprising about when and where you appear. It's so late, you
There must be something going on here, tell me."
"Okay." Xiaoyi didn't lay too much groundwork. Since Chi Xiaowan had already discovered her and asked her why she was here, she really didn't need to hide anything. "I'm here. I just want to ask you something that is difficult to answer."
You have to think carefully before answering my question."
"Tell me." Chi Xiaowan said lightly. She sat down on the bed with nothing in her mind. It seemed that everything was still in a dream. She had not woken up. Why should she take it seriously? In this world, are dreams real? Or is this reality?
Really? "I'm listening."
"If you had to choose between love and life, which one would you choose?" Xiaoyi stared at Chi Xiaowan. The light in the room was extremely dark, except for the faint light on the bedside, which was adjusted to the darkest place.
Chi Xiaowan smiled softly and said nothing.
"You have been to the old site." Xiaoyi continued, "I think you must have encountered strange things in the old site. If one day, the soul of the empress, Cong Yier, comes back and needs to be attached to your body
How will you choose? Between love and life, do you choose to love Sima with your body, or give up love and continue to love Sima as Xiaowan, but you will not get love? I think I made it very clear,
Do you understand?"
Chi Xiaowan nodded, "I hope Sima is happy. This is the most important thing. If Cong Yi'er comes back, if she needs to attach her soul to my body, I will no longer exist. I hope my body is also Cong Yi'er's."
, I don’t want Sima to struggle with guilt and love.”
Xiaoyi was stunned.
"For me, Sima's happiness is more important than anything else to me. If Cong Yi'er comes back, I hope I disappear, disappear completely, because I don't want Sima to have to worry about his love for Yi'er and his love for Yi'er when he faces me.
There is no slightest contradiction or struggle about my guilt." Chi Xiaowan said calmly, "Actually, I have always hoped that I could bring Yi'er back. This is the only woman who can make Sima happy. His pity now is just because
, the undying love he has for Yi'er in his heart, and his pity for me is also pity for the relationship between him and Yi'er."
Xiaoyi doesn't know what is good.
"Go back, I know what I should do." Chi Xiaowan said lightly, "The night is already very deep, and I haven't slept so soundly for a long time. I only regard you as a passer-by in my dream. In this way, when I wake up
, there will be no pressure, so you won’t be sad when facing the results.”
Xiaoyi looked at Chi Xiaowan lying down in astonishment and heard her say softly: "You don't need to close the window when you leave. I like to listen to the sound of wind and rain outside. Be careful on the road."
When I woke up in the morning, the wind and rain outside had not stopped, there were faint traces of rain on the table, and there was a cold chill in the air indoors.
"Xiao Wan, are you awake?" Old Mrs. Yu knocked on the door and said gently, "It's getting late. Grandma wants to go out for a walk. Can you accompany her for a walk?"
Chi Xiaowan responded immediately, "Okay, grandma, I'll be fine soon."
After washing up and changing clothes, Chi Xiaowan held her grandma's hand and left home under an umbrella. It was really cold outside. Chi Xiaowan smiled and said, "Grandma, it's so cold outside. Do you want to wear another coat?"
"
"No, it's okay." Old Mrs. Yu said gently, "It was too stuffy in the room, so I wanted to come out for a walk. Xiaoman and Xiaohui were both still asleep, but you were the only one awake, so I pulled you out. By the way.
, Xiaowan, did you have any friends yesterday? I seemed to hear you talking to someone."
Chi Xiaowan smiled softly and said: "Grandma, I have been dreaming these past two days. Am I talking in my sleep and you heard me? How is it possible? I went back to the room and never came out again, and it was very early.
I just went to sleep and no one will come to see me again."
"Really?" Old Mrs. Yu said uncertainly, "Maybe I heard it wrong. As you get older, you can't sleep. I went to the living room to get a glass of water and I thought I heard a sound in your room.
, but I couldn’t hear it clearly. I stood and listened for a while, but then there was no sound and no one came out. I guess I heard it wrong.”
