Chapter 7 Miwu used to be the grass of the king and grandson
Maybe it’s related to the season, since I entered the palace, I haven’t seen many sunny days.
The sun is separated by a layer of gray clouds, and the shadows of Xue Heng and Chi Su are faintly reflected on the vermilion palace wall, like a picture of a beauty dyed with light ink.
"Miss Xue, are you scary?" Chi Su asked aloud.
Ahead is Miwuyuan. The main entrance is tightly locked, and only the west corner door is partially open.
There was no one in front of the door, and it was even more deserted than the weather today.
"What are you afraid of?" Xue Hengzhao tilted his head slightly.
"Everyone is afraid of the dark, ghosts, and dead people." Chi Su said, "Are you too?"
Xue Hengzhao shook his head and said: "Of course I am afraid of things, but not these."
"You're not afraid of any of these, so what are you afraid of?" Chi Su always felt that Xue Hengzhao was different and wanted to know what the difference was.
"I'm afraid that my strength and wisdom will fall short," Xue Hengzhao didn't shy away from it. "I'm also afraid that God's will will play tricks on people in all kinds of ways."
"This..." Chi Suwei was speechless, "This seems to be something we can't do anything about. I'm afraid I won't come!"
Xue Hengzhao did not explain, but just said: "Let's go in! Someone is watching from behind."
Chi Su turned around with some horror, and sure enough she saw a little eunuch in blue following them in the distance like a ghostly shadow.
Chi Su wanted to ask Xue Hengzhao how he knew, but the other party had already walked in first.
Although there is no one living in Miwu Courtyard now, the yard is still clean.
It can be seen that someone cleans it every day.
"Who told you to come here?" At this time, a young eunuch in his early twenties walked out of the wing. He looked around and approached, "Do you know where this place is?"
"It was Chief Qian who sent us here to stay at night," Chi Su said. "Are you the father-in-law who is on duty here during the day?"
When the eunuch heard that Qian Sanchun had called them, the expression on his face suddenly became quite complicated.
He hesitated to speak: "It's not dark yet, why don't you think of a way to go back!"
"Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law. I don't know what to call you?" Xue Hengming understood that he was hesitant to speak. I believe that as soon as he said these words, he would understand that he had no choice but to do so.
Sure enough, the eunuch showed a clear look and said: "My name is Shi Dianjin, you can just call me Eunuch Shi."
Just as he was talking, an older eunuch walked out of the penthouse. He looked to be about fifty years old.
He has a round and flat face, but his eyes are very lively.
Shi Dianjin quickly introduced: "This is my master, who used to be a scholar in the Department of Bells and Drums..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old eunuch interrupted him.
"Xiao Jinzi, why are you so verbose again?" The old eunuch said in a warning tone, "I told you earlier, I'm just an old eunuch doing odd jobs. You just call me Eunuch She."
The last words were addressed to Xue Chi and the others.
"Eunuch She and Eunuch Shi, we are here to take over our duties," Chi Su said. "Can you please tell us what we need to do here."
"There's nothing to do. Just check the whole yard before turning on the lamp and make sure all the doors are closed." Shi Dianjin said, "Except for the charcoal fire in the side room where you live, no fire is allowed anywhere else."
."
"Besides you two, is there anyone else in this yard?" Chi Su asked again.
"Aren't there still you two?" Shi Dianjin smiled and his eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Then after you leave, we will be the only ones left?" Chi Su blinked helplessly.
"Yes, the only ones left are those who watch the night outside, and usually don't enter this yard." Shi Dianjin said, "But you two are together, and sometimes they only send one person."
Come and spend the night."
At this time, Eunuch She coughed a few more times, interrupting what he was going to say next.
Xue Hengming understood that those crazy and dead people before must have been alone at night.
It seems that Qian Sanchun was quite open to them, not out of pity, but to give them a way to turn back.
It was already past noon, and Master Shi and his disciples packed up their belongings and left.
Chi Su looked around and said, "The people who come here to clean are also using tricks. They clean the yard cleanly, but they don't clean up the house. Look at the houses next to it, they are all covered in ashes." Xue Hengzhao was pouring the ashes out of the charcoal basin. Chi Su grabbed it and said, "You are so beautiful, so give it to me!"
"You are sick too!" Xue Hengzhao said, "I don't like to be taken care of."
"You are good at everything, but you don't like to owe favors or get too close to anyone. Why is that?" Chi Su asked, "Actually, it's not a big deal. You don't need to take it to heart at all."
"Are you trying to say that I am a very cold person?" Xue Hengzhao poured out the ashes and added carbon again.
The charcoal fire was weak at first. Xue Hengzhao took the cattail leaf fan next to him and fanned it gently, and the scarlet dark fire gradually spread.
"Of course it's a bit cold," Chi Su laughed awkwardly, "but he's not a bad person."
Xue Hengzhao just chuckled and did not answer her words.
In fact, she does not distinguish between good and bad when she sees people, and she never thinks that she is a good person.
When the charcoal fire became stronger, Xue Hengzhao filled the kettle with water and put it on the fire.
Chi Su couldn't hold it any longer and went to lie down on the bed.
"I remember that when I was a child, I would go up the mountain with my aunts and sisters every year to pick the leaves of the wormwood, dry them in the sun, and put them in my purse. There is a fragrance." Chi Su murmured, "It is said that the leaves of the wormwood can make women happy.
You have many children, but this Miwuyuan is the most lonely place in the palace.
For many years, none of the concubines living here have been favored. At most, they have given birth to one or two princesses, and not a single prince."
He was talking to himself and Xue Hengzhao didn't talk to him again, so she fell asleep.
Xue Heng took a look at the sky, then walked outside and looked around everywhere.
The corner door at the front is not closed. Those who stay up late will have a meal delivered after dark, and the door will be closed after the person who needs to deliver the meal has left.
When Chi Su opened his eyes again, it was already dark.
"I was sleeping so deeply that it's already this time." She said as she sat up, "I'm going to go outside and have a look."
"No need, I've been there." Xue Hengzhao poured her a glass of warm water.
"Then I'll do it tomorrow, and you can rest." Chi Su took the water and said, "Why hasn't the food delivery person come yet?"
She is already very hungry.
After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door.
Xue Hengzhao walked over and opened the door, and what came was Shi Dianjin: "You haven't eaten yet? I'll give you this box of snacks."
"Eunuch Shi, why are you delivering food to us?" Chi Su was a little surprised.
"My master asked me to bring this to you, so please don't make it public." Shi Dianjin said hurriedly, "No one dares to come here after dark, or maybe there is no one to deliver food to you at all. p>
In short, you close the door at night, cover your head and go to sleep. No matter what noise you hear, just pretend that you can't hear it."
After saying this, Shi Dianjin left some snacks and left in a hurry.
