Xu Mingyi lowered her voice very low: "I always have the same dream recently. In the dream, there will be a thunderstorm tomorrow... At night, a lightning struck the Fengtian Hall in the palace."
"...?"
Even though Wu Chao was distracted just now, after hearing her last words, his expression changed suddenly.
What did he hear?
Fengtian Temple... was struck by lightning?
It is said that what you think about every day and what you dream about every night——
Miss Xu is indeed Miss Xu, she is so bold both in and out of dreams, it is surprising.
Seeing a complex look in the young man's eyes that said "As expected of you", Xu Mingyi was silent for a moment and tried to look more serious: "Mr. Wu, maybe you don't know that I rarely dream, but when I dream
If you have the same dream several times, nine times out of ten it will come true."
Wu Chao didn't speak for a while, as if he was engaged in some kind of ideological struggle.
After a moment, he asked: "Who else knows about this matter?"
Xu Mingyi didn't know whether he was referring to her 'dreams that had miraculous effects' or whether Fengtian Palace was struck by lightning, but no matter which one it was, the answer was the same.
So he replied: "I only mentioned this matter to Master Wu."
The young man in front of him seemed to be slightly relieved.
He looked at her and said, "That's good. It's better not to mention this kind of thing to others."
After all, this is taboo, and if it spreads, it will be harmful to her.
Moreover, it can easily be regarded as a sign of mental illness.
Understanding the young man's worry, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but remain silent for a while again.
But when it comes to this, I still have to stubbornly ask: "Master Wu, do you believe what I say?"
It's normal not to believe it, she will just make up other reasons.
If that doesn't work, I'll take A'Kui with me. After all, her A'Kui's accomplishments in reading storybooks can be said to be extremely well-educated, and I think she should be more perfect than her in making up stories.
Wu Chao looked at her.
After a while, a word was spoken.
"letter."
Although this sounds extremely ridiculous, if someone else had said this to him and asked him seriously if he believed it or not, he would probably feel that the other person was insulting his intelligence——
But Miss Xu is an unusual person, so even after she said such ridiculous words, she didn't feel much violation.
This time Xu Mingyi was stunned.
She was still reflecting on how lazy she was in lying——
I have to say that Wu Shisun is really easy to deceive.
"The world is so big that it is full of wonders." Wu Chao said, "What's more, Miss Xu is an upright person and has never told a lie to me."
Xu Mingyi felt his breath hitched.
Never told a lie to him?
It seemed like it didn't exist before, but now... it really does exist.
This feeling as if she was trampling on other people's trust made her feel guilty and uncomfortable for a while.
"Thank you Mr. Wu for trusting me."
Xu Mingyi suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart and spoke sincerely.
To make amends and to make her conscience feel better, she will try her best to live up to Wu Shisun's pure trust in the future.
"If you want to blame Xia Han for the lightning strike in Fengtian Palace, you still need to find a way to convince the emperor." Wu Chao said thoughtfully: "The puppet that Lu brought to Qingyang Temple today may be useful.
superior--"
Seeing that he really believed it and had seriously thought about countermeasures, Xu Mingyi revealed one of his guesses.
"I'm afraid puppets alone are not enough. I have heard by chance that some evil spells are cast on the dead. In order to suppress the resentment, the burial of the corpse is usually very particular."
She heard this from an old Taoist priest when she was in Yangzhou.
There is no way to verify whether these things are true or false, and few people may believe them if they tell them. But it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. Since Xia Han is willing to believe it, he can use these sorcery techniques to try to find clues.
Wu Chao asked noncommittally: "Mr. Yao from your mansion, is he familiar with this kind of witchcraft?"
"It's not clear yet. I'm planning to ask him face to face after I go back today."
This kind of harmful witchcraft has always been strictly prohibited by law, and the slightest contamination is a serious crime. Even if Mr. Yao understands it, he will never show it.
Wu Chao nodded.
"Then I'll wait for news about Miss Xu."
When it came time to make arrangements, he just made rough preparations in secret.
Xu Mingyi said "Okay" and glanced at the hourglass on the side.
It's already noon.
Sensing her gaze, Wu Chao asked casually: "Miss Xu, are you feeling hungry? How about I order the kitchen to prepare some food-"
Now is the time for dinner, and this is his family's teahouse. It is only reasonable for friends to show their friendship as landlords.
Xu Mingyi didn't expect that he would ask her to stay for dinner, but he had to swallow it when he wanted to leave.
She thought for a while and suggested: "There is a restaurant in the city called Qingfeng Restaurant. There are several dishes in it that are extremely well made, which cannot be compared with other restaurants nearby. If Mr. Wu is not in a hurry to return home, I will take Mr. Wu to try them.
Does it taste good?"
After all, when it comes to eating, the food in this teahouse is not that delicious after all - after all, a teahouse aims to make business as quiet as possible. If the food is too delicious, it will be a sign that you don't want to work anymore.
.
Wu Chao, who has been drinking carefully since childhood, has always been picky.
Speaking of which, he came from Ningyang. In this capital, she was the one who should fulfill the duties of a landlord.
What's more, the other party has helped me a lot, and I can't pay back the big ones for now. It's also good to express my gratitude for such small things.
"I'm not in a hurry." Wu Chao looked at her and said, "It's just that if Miss Xu and I appear together in a crowded place, I'm afraid there may be something wrong."
It's okay for him to be a man, but she is a girl.
It doesn't matter whether she eats or not eats a meal, but it can't cause her to gossip.
Xu Mingyi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own way."
Wu Chao looked at her puzzled.
Half an hour later——
"Master Wu, let's go."
In front of the tea house, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xu Mingyi in the carriage smiled at Wu Chao and said.
Wu Chao looked at the 'handsome young man' with red lips and white teeth in the car window and was speechless for a moment.
How could he forget that this is a girl who always keeps men's robes in the carriage.
Seeing the carriage driving away, Wu Chao got on his horse and chased after it.
In Qingfeng Tower, it is the time when guests come like clouds.
Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi were led into the hall by the waiter.
"Are there any private rooms?" Wu Chao asked as he walked into the hall.
The waiter replied enthusiastically: "The two guests arrived just in time. A private room has just been opened on the second floor! I will take the two gentlemen up here!"
Wu Chao said "Hmm" and was about to go to the second floor when he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a gaze watching him from above.
Looking up, I saw a familiar figure standing at the corner of the stairs.
