Jinghua Garden belongs to the Ninth Prince's own courtyard, and there is no order on weekdays, even Chu Yun is not allowed to come and go casually.
Xiao Xin even seldom came.
"Xiao Xin greets the prince's brother-in-law, brother-in-law is well."
Although Xiao Xin is small, he knows etiquette very well, and he understands that the Ninth Prince treats him well because of his sister's face, and he really treats her well.
Chu Yun followed behind and slipped in.
"Father, my son has come to see you."
Ninth Prince glanced at her indifferently, motioning her to stand aside.
Chu Yun had no choice but to stand obediently, but looked at Xiao Xin provocatively.
Xiao Xin was unmoved, and asked about the purpose of the Ninth Prince calling him.
"I heard that you want to study literature and make articles, but is that so?"
Xiao Xin nodded earnestly, "Yes, please ask brother-in-law to choose another reading companion for the eldest son, Xiao Xin can no longer accompany her to study with her in the future."
"Hmph, who wants you to care." Chu Yun said on his lips, but he was not happy in his heart.
The Ninth Prince glanced at Chu Yun and motioned Ah Si to take her out.
Chu Yun was naturally unhappy, but he couldn't help it. He pouted and guarded outside the main house, refusing to leave.
"Si, what do you think father and Xiao Xin have to say, neither he nor I have said much."
Ah Si was silent, the Ninth Prince's indifference and detachment were well known to the world, and those around him knew how he behaved.
I'm not good at talking, and I don't like talking too much.
Although he has acquired profound inner strength, he dare not listen to his master casually.
"The subordinates don't know."
"Hmph, it's useless to ask you."
Half an hour later, Xiao Xin opened the door and walked out from the main room, very happy.
He couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"What did the father say to you? Are you so happy?" Chu Yun's mouth was already pouting to the sky.
Stop Xiao Xin, she must know the answer.
Xiao Xin was so excited at the moment, she had no time to talk to her, so she reached out and pushed her away, saying: "Don't disturb me, I have business to do."
After speaking, he ran away.
Chu Yun became even more unhappy, and looked back at the main house where the door had been closed, then at Xiao Xin who was running fast, and left angrily.
The days passed quickly, it took only a few months to fly from the grass-growing warbler to the cicada's long-singing.
One season of Empire, nothing changed.
The court was peaceful, the newly returned eldest prince was only liked by the emperor at the beginning, but it has calmed down in the past few months.
Just when everyone thought that the emperor recruited the eldest prince back to the palace to decide the matter of the crown prince, otherwise they would not be so eager.
Furthermore, according to past practice, it is time to announce.
However, as the days passed, the ministers discovered that the emperor had no intention of mentioning this matter at all.
Let their eyes that wanted to look at the direction of the wind waver again.
The harem was reshuffled. After Concubine Chen took over, her relationship with the new empress was neither salty nor warm, and no one could guess the reason.
The eldest prince lived outside the palace, and the third prince set up a separate mansion. The emperor has been slow to express his intentions, but it really made some people anxious.
Some old ministers filed a memorial and reported this matter, but the emperor dismissed him on the grounds that he was still young and it was not easy to establish a reserve too early.
Everyone couldn't detect the holy will. For a while, the hall was up and down. On the surface, it was calm, but secretly it was turbulent.
For this reason, the empress dowager could not invite the emperor to visit the imperial study in person and asked about it.
The two most honorable mothers and sons of the empire had a deep talk for several hours, and finally the empress dowager left with a sigh, and no longer interfered with the affairs of the court.
But the empress lived in seclusion, and unexpectedly started doing Buddhist work for no reason, and even led all the concubines to worship the Buddha together.
There was only one concubine Xiao Gui, who was dying of illness several times. If the emperor had not sent an imperial doctor to guard here, concubine Xiao Guifei might have passed away.
And because of this. She had little contact with the queen, especially with other concubines in the palace.
It's night, the moon is shining, the stars are sparse, and the cicadas are singing and the insects are singing.
In the imperial city, many people were outside to enjoy the shade, waving folding fans and gossiping.
Because there is no curfew in Huangcheng, the common people like to sit under a tree with a stool and gossip at this time, and it is only at this time that they can relax.
The children had already been driven to rest by the adults, but it was not so lively.
Beicheng, a not remote place, there is a big mansion here, and there are no people around.
Unlike other lively places, this place is very quiet and unpopular.
Outside the manor, there are two red lanterns hanging on the doorway, which are very eye-catching. At a glance, you can tell that it is a place where strangers should not approach. This is a righteous village, a place where dead bodies are kept.
On weekdays, few people approached during the day.
At this moment, in the dark place at the corner, a phantom was illuminated by the red lantern, which was a head.
He shook twice, looked around, and then walked out quietly.
Standing at the door and knocking the wooden door bolt three times, it opened.
He is very familiar with the road, like a thief who often comes to hang around.
He slowly opened the door and looked at you, but he didn't see you. There was candlelight, obviously the guards of Yizhuang were not there.
Heaved a sigh of relief, the visitor was about to walk in when he heard crackling sounds behind him.
"Who is there?"
She gave a soft drink, tilted her head and looked over there.
"Please keep your voice down, let my sister find out!"
It was the voice of a little boy.
"It's all your fault. I asked you to learn martial arts with me. If you don't learn martial arts, it's all over now. I'll take you with me. Of course there will be voices."
This is another voice.
Two little ones came out from another direction.
"Xiao Shi Xiaoyun, why are you here?"
The black shadow that appeared earlier was naturally Xiao Ting.
"Father is worried about you letting me follow." Chu Yun found a good reason for himself.
Xiao Xin said: "My lord, my brother-in-law said that you can't take the corpse home."
Xiao Ting waved her hand and said, "I already know, why is this prince so narrow-minded? He even sent you to follow me, I really hate it."
"Children have to sleep at this time to grow their bodies. You two, go back immediately."
She didn't come here to do any good things, these two little ones always followed her, and they couldn't even get rid of her.
"No." Xiao Xin and Chu Yun shook their heads together, looked at each other, and firmly disagreed.
You see it's getting late, Xiao Ting can't hold them back, so she agrees and warns them to keep their voices down, but no matter what they see, don't make a fuss or yell.
Xiao Xin's small eyes suddenly lit up, he thought of some possibility, and looked at Xiao Ting's eyes which were shining brightly.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Ting warned him, because Xiao Xin was born as a child, she can see some things without practicing at all, and she also taught Xiao Xin some simple spells before.
But after learning about the cultivation system in this world, she felt a little discouraged and stopped teaching Xiao Xin about it, lest he would get involved with spiritual warlocks in the future.
Xiao Xin nodded very seriously, a year has passed, and both of them have grown up a bit.
Xiao Ting led them into the Yi Zhuang openly, closed the door, and then walked into the first morgue.
Then came the second period, the third period until the fifth period, there was no news of any harvest, Xiao Xin looked a little disappointed, while Chu Yun was at a loss, wondering what they were looking for
At the sixth moment, Chu Yun couldn't help but asked Xiao Xin out of curiosity, "What are you looking for?"
Just as Xiao Xin was about to answer her question, he saw a white light flash in front of him, and he exclaimed, "Sister."
When approaching the morgue, Xiao Ting always asked them to stand outside, not allowed to speak, not allowed to make a sound, but she went in alone, and it was the same at this moment.
Suddenly hearing Xiao Xin's cry, she immediately turned her head and saw a white light shooting towards Chu Yun's face.
Then it's gone in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yun turned around and ran out.
It happened so suddenly that when Xiao Ting chased to the door, Chu Yun had already disappeared.
"Sister, what is that white light? Why did Xiaoyun run away?"
Xiao Xin has never seen such a thing, and she is still acting stupid.
There was no time to explain now, Xiao Ting pulled him and ran outside, "Hurry up and chase, if it is too late, the little cutie will be in trouble."
And she was miserable too.
The Ninth Prince treasures this little girl the most.
She had repeatedly promised that nothing would happen, otherwise the Ninth Prince would insist on following her, saying that she was worried about her.
She also guaranteed that a dozen ghosts would not be her opponent.
What a huh...
She was too careless, Yizhuang is a place to store corpses, and the time is generally not more than four or five days, not to mention that it is summer now, and it can be kept for three or four days at most.
Some people's souls have not left for seven days after death, and they will hover around the body, but they are in a state of ignorance and cannot be seen by ordinary people.
And she came to try her luck.
After Xiao Ting fought the old man that day, she slept for three days and three nights, and when she woke up, she found that all her spells had disappeared.
As if she had never practiced before, she clearly felt a power in her body, but she just couldn't use it.
Even the primary green flames couldn't be released.
She wanted to ask others for advice, but there were so many people, the only master of spells she knew who was still friendly was the so-called Great Elder she met in the underground palace.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as a satellite phone in this era, and they did not leave any contact information.
And what did the old man say, I will see you again by fate.
Hehe, so she had no choice but to ask the Ninth Prince to take her to various book collection pavilions. After searching for two months, she finally found a single copy in the palace, which recorded some methods of recovering spells, including the one of purifying spiritual power.
For other methods, on the one hand, because her level is not enough, on the other hand, some methods need to be studied, and she dare not try it lightly, so she has to use this laborious and time-consuming method.
The so-called purification of spiritual power is to purify those impure souls, and then transform the soul power into the soul power you need.
And the impure souls she is looking for are those souls who have resentment or hatred after death, and will endanger the order of the two worlds in short, they are called impure souls.
Absorbing the soul power after purifying them will help her recover.
Since she found this method a month ago, she has been trying, but those who become evil spirits are a minority after all. She searched for many places, and finally concentrated in the largest yizhuang in the imperial city.
