Fortunately, as long as Miss Seven does not leave the house, there is no big danger after all. Dong Xue slowly loosened the hand holding her little arm.
"Since you are only in the house, then take me with you."
"I won't take you with me tonight. It's inconvenient to take you with me."
In the end, Dongxue was persuaded by Xuanbao to stay, and the little doll ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared into the night.
After returning to the Marquis Mansion for such a long time, she also understood the various locations in the manor and the mysterious treasures in the courtyard where each person lived. She skillfully shuttled through the garden paths.
Soon, Xuanbao came to the outside of an independent small courtyard, which was not far from the courtyard where Xiao Kexiao lived. Every time she went back to see her second brother, she would always pass by the door but never go in.
The courtyard door was closed tightly, and darkness shrouded the small courtyard, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Xuan Bao stood calmly in front of the courtyard gate, with her hands folded in front of her chest, looking around.
Suddenly, there were footsteps in the yard, people were walking and talking, and through the crack in the door, there was a faint light flashing inside.
She didn't move and just stood quietly. After her spiritual power increased and her merits deepened, Xuanbao's eyesight and hearing were far superior to ordinary people. Although she was not clairvoyant, she could clearly see and hear the movements within a few dozen feet.
Chu.
"Third Young Master doesn't look well. Should we go to Qinse Courtyard immediately to report it?"
"The imperial doctor has been here before and can't figure out why. Besides, it's not an emergency. I'll give it a try."
"Let's take a look tomorrow. It's late at night. Besides, Third Young Master won't let us disturb the princess."
"What do you think is going on? In the past, the second young master always didn't go out because he was sick, but now the third young master doesn't go out even if he's not sick."
"Shut up! Young masters' matters are not something you and I can discuss."
As the voices weakened, the two boys who spoke walked to the backyard, and Xuan Bao could no longer hear what they said.
With a long sigh, Xuanbao looked at the yard that was as tall as a person. He slowly rose up and landed lightly on the wall as he murmured, then entered the yard and landed on the ground with his head.
After looking around for a few times, Xiao Keren's yard layout was consistent with Xiao Kexiao's yard layout. Xuanbao quickly determined where his bedroom was.
When he came to the front steps, Xuanbao found that the lights were still on in the room. From the shadow on the window, he could see that it was Xiao Keren. He hadn't fallen asleep yet, but he probably couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to.
After standing for a moment, he found that there was no servant waiting in the room, and no one was even guarding the outside.
Walking up the steps, Xuan Bao came to the door and raised his hand to knock the door gently.
"Get out!" Xiao Keren's voice in the room was weak, and his voice was not powerful at all, but it also caused him to cough repeatedly.
Helplessness and pity flashed in Xuan Bao's eyes, and she said loudly: "Third brother, I am Xuan Bao, please open the door."
Xiao Keren was so startled that he stopped coughing: "Xuanbao? Is it this late at night?"
"It's hard to talk when there are so many people during the day. Can't you hear my voice?" Xuan Bao asked with a smile.
It was indeed Xuan Bao's voice. Xiao Keren recognized it after being surprised. He took a deep breath and walked to the door. Just as he was about to open the door, his movements suddenly stopped.
"Third brother, are you okay?"
"Well, I can't tell. Maybe it's not good."
"Open the door and let me see you."
From the outside, Xiao Keren's hand could be seen resting on the doorknob, but he hesitated for a moment and still did not open the door.
"Xuanbao, although the imperial doctor said that I am not sick, I feel that I am sick. I am afraid that I will be sick when I meet you. If you have anything to do, just say so."
"Third brother, you are not sick." Xuan Bao said firmly, "The imperial doctor can't save you, but I can save you."
Xiao Keren let out a low but helpless laugh in the room. He recalled the scene a few days ago when his brothers brought Xiao Mingzhu to see him.
If the brothers were shocked and disbelieving at the time, then Xiao Mingzhu became full of disgust after the initial shock.
Xiao Keren sighed long and long: "Since you came back, Third Brother has treated you badly. It's rare that you still care about me. I understand. You can go back. It's too late. I should have sent you back to Lingyun Garden. Don't blame me. On the way
careful."
Xuan Bao thought about the scene when they first met, and it was really difficult to connect these self-destructive words with the high-spirited Xiao Keren.
"Third brother, I'm offended."
Reciting the spell to pass through the wall, the wall seemed to be nothing in front of Xuan Bao, so she just walked through the wall directly.
Xiao Keren, who was standing behind the door, was shocked when he saw a small mysterious treasure squeezed into the wall next to the door quietly, and the wall returned to its original state after she entered.
Xuan Bao stood next to Xiao Keren and looked up. She was also shocked when she saw the third brother.
I haven’t seen him for half a month, and Xiao Keren is still the same Xiao Keren, but his expression is dull and his breathing is short, which seems wrong.
On the surface it was one thing, but what Xuan Bao saw was something else.
I saw that Xiao Keren's whole body was shrouded in a thick black aura of bad luck. Compared with before, the black aura blocked a large part of his face, and his mouth and nose were almost invisible.
What frightened Xuan Bao even more was that she felt the aura of death emanating from Xiao Keren's body. It could be said that he was like a dying old man at this moment. If she delayed for a few more days, she might have to hold a funeral for him.
.
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Keren quickly raised his hand to cover his face and said in a trembling voice: "You, you are not Xuan Bao, are you a human or a ghost?"
"Third brother." Xuan Bao stretched out his little hand and held Xiao Keren's wrist, "Do you feel it? My hand is warm, and you see, it is my shadow."
Xiao Keren finally calmed down. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, shook off Xuan Bao's hand and turned around.
"Third brother, you don't have to avoid it, I saw everything." Xuan Bao awkwardly stood on tiptoe and patted Xiao Keren's back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you are just under a witchcraft."
"What?" Xiao Keren turned around quickly and met Xuan Bao's smiling face.
He quickly covered it with his hands, and Xiao Keren said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you. I didn't hear clearly what you just said, please say it again."
Xuan Bao pulled down Xiao Keren's hands and said, "Oh, third brother, you are exactly the same in my eyes as before. I just said you were under a witchcraft."
"Evil magic?" Xiao Keren fell into deep thought.
After being told this by the little baby, Xiao Keren really felt that his illness was unusual. Could it be that it was just as Xuan Bao said?
"Third brother, do you believe me? Or do you believe me if I need to show off my skills again?"
Xiao Keren asked casually: "What's your ability?"
Xuan Bao touched his head and blinked: "You haven't seen ghosts, how about I call a few ghosts out for you to see? Or should I use teleportation to take you out for a walk? No, your physical condition is currently the worst.
It’s better not to go out. How about I draw a few magic talismans to make wind and rain..."
"Stop!" Xiao Keren covered his heart, "It doesn't matter what you do, I believe you."
