3. Blurred Phase
"I didn't expect the second lady to end up like this after working hard for half her life, I think how beautiful it was when she got married. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Yes, I heard that when the master married her, not to mention how happy she was. It's just that when smallpox was raging a few years ago, didn't she get sick and ruined her appearance? The scratch on the left finger left a scar, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to wear a veil, and the lord no longer favored her. ā
"She is also a pitiful, very good person, a bodhisattva, and a little beautiful. Alas, it's a pity! ā
ā¦ā¦
Early in the morning, Zhao Wanqing had just woken up from his sleep and heard the maids talking.
After Zhao Bangqing freshened up, he thought that he had almost played in the past few days, and he became curious about the case.
She walked to the back hall, wanting to sneak a peek at the case. I saw that my father and Lord Wei, the owner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, were discussing this matter. Zhao Bangsheng hid behind the door, carefully listening to their conversation.
"Lord Zhao, what do you think about this matter?" Lord Wei asked.
"Back to my lord, this matter is indeed very bizarre. After examination, there were no external injuries on the body of your lady, and there was no sign of poisoning in the throat, and the cause of death was difficult to find. Second, it has been nearly half a month since the noble lady died, and the corpse did not show a trace of decomposition. Even the corpse smell and corpse spots that should have appeared have never appeared, and the appearance is still like a living person. Don't hide it, I still don't have a clue about this matter, let me observe it for a few more days, Zhao will do his best. Zhao Zhixu said.
"Alas", Lord Wei sighed, pressed his temples with his fingers, and said with a sad face: "Then there is Lord Lao Zhao." ā
Zhao Bangqing turned around and left the back hall and returned to the room, sorting out the information he had gotten. A carrier pigeon flew in through the open window, stopped on the edge of the round table in front of Zhao Bangqing, and looked at her with a wink.
Zhao Bangqing looked at it and untied a note tied to the pigeon's leg, and the pigeon fluttered twice and flew away.
She opened the note and read: "In an hour, come and save your life." "The signature is Ye Yang, and the words are really as handsome as a person. Zhao Bangqing thought that he could see Yu Beisheng again, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. I didn't wait an hour, I immediately tidied up my clothes and set off.
The last time I followed Ye Yang, I didn't remember the road clearly at all, but it seemed that as long as I was thinking about Bang Shengzhai in my heart, it seemed that there was a mysterious force showing me the way. In just half an hour, Zhao Bangqing arrived at the door of Bang Shengzhai.
There is a big gap between Bang Shengzhai in front of me and that night, and it is full of guests eating side dishes, chatting and laughing everywhere, and it is very lively.
Zhao Wanqing hesitated, but walked in anyway.
"Hello girl, what should you eat?" Zhao Bangqing didn't take a few steps before the shopkeeper came forward to greet him enthusiastically. Zhao Bangqing regretted walking in at this time, he arrived half an hour early, and there was no one he knew anywhere. What's more, I was in a hurry to go out, and now I am shy in my pocket.
She said embarrassedly, "Hello. I...... Looking for someone, is Ye Yang here? ā
"Ye Yang? Girl, are you in the wrong place? We don't have anyone named Ye Yang here. The shopkeeper replied with a smile.
Zhao Bangqing was puzzled, although the atmosphere was different, the decoration was still the same decoration he saw that night, and he would not be mistaken.
But when the shopkeeper said so, Zhao Wanqing was really embarrassed, so he left first, so he said, "Oh, I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake and said goodbye." Then he turned around and left.
"Please stay." There was a sound as crisp as a silver bell in my ears. Zhao Bangqing turned around and saw that the visitor was dressed in green clothes, petite and lovely, hearty and cute, with a few strands of broken hair on his forehead, and the rest combed into a bun, smiling.
"Are you Zhao Bangqing?" She asked.
"Exactly."
"Brother told me to wait like this, come with me."
Zhao Wanqing thought that this must be Ye Yang's sister, so he followed her.
"I am Ye Yang's sister, my name is Ye Yin. My brother expected you to come early, so he asked me to wait again in advance, and it was as he expected. Ye Yin said as she walked upstairs.
Zhao Wanqing was puzzled: "How did Ye Yang know that I would come early?" ā
Ye Yin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Wanqing was even more puzzled.
"My brother said, when the **** saw Lord Yu, his eyes flashed, like a drinker meeting a hundred years of good wine, and he must be impatient today." Ye Yin was still smiling as she spoke.
Zhao Bangqing blushed suddenly, and hurriedly defended: "Don't make fun of me, I really don't mean that." ā
The conversation room has reached the second floor.
Zhao Bangqing followed Ye Yin to the wing room at the end of the corridor.
This wing room is very different, the other wing rooms are covered with cloth, and this wing room has a special wooden door, which shows its secret place.
Ye Yin pushed open the door of the wing, and the layout inside was very casual. A long table, facing the other is collapsing, and two columns on the side are collapsing. There is white porcelain tea on the table, which is gentle and quiet. The windows on the north side open to let in bright light, and the panoramic view of the street can be taken in, and even the mountains in the distance can be seen.
Ye Yin turned to look at Zhao Wanqing, smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of please: "Please sit down." ā
When Zhao Wanqing first arrived, he couldn't help but be a little restrained, and sat cross-legged on the first seat in the south of the table in a regular manner.
Ye Yin picked up the white porcelain teapot and cup and poured the tea. In addition to one cup for Zhao Bangqing, seven cups were also poured.
After pouring the tea, Ye Yin sat down next to Zhao Bangqing: "Let's drink some tea first, everyone will come in a while, and I will tell you something first." ā
"Okay, I'm tired." Zhao Bangqing listened attentively.
"Bang Shengzhai plus you have a total of five soul servants, five soul messengers. Lord Yu is the master of Bangshengzhai, so even if you are his spiritual servant, his rank is higher than you. In a moment, I will introduce you to the partners in Sairi one by one, and we will live together from now on. Ye Yin still kept smiling.
"Living together? I have a family, how can I live with you? ā
Ye Yin's laughter finally stopped, she took a sip of tea and said, "Since you have chosen this path, you must pay a price for it." ā
"At what cost?" Zhao Bangqing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Ye Yin looked out the window, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "For the sake of absolute secrecy, the spirit servant must make a decision with the family. She paused, as if she couldn't bear it, "Usually we create the illusion of our own death. ā
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Zhao Bangqing never thought of paying such a price. Although she is not the most valued at home, everyone treats her well, and she has been like this for more than ten years. Although there is no unforgettable touching and love, the feelings of more than ten years cannot be erased after all. Especially her father, she loves to listen to his father talk about those confusing cases. Nowadays, such an inseparable emotion is about to end with just a decision, which is not easy to say. What's more, now that he came to Kyoto with his father to solve the case by holy decree, his father has already been overworked, and if he fakes his death, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Zhao Wanqing's mind was suddenly very chaotic and confused, and he was at a loss.
"This ...... Can you give me a little more time? She said noly.
"You still ask Lord Yu, everything is decided by him, and it is destined in the dark."
"Squeak-" The sound of opening the door came, and Zhao Wanqing looked at the door. Seeing Ye Yang pacing in, still dressed in green, the two brothers and sisters are similar. He was followed by a childlike young man and a girl in green. The girl looked very gentle, I don't know if it was because she was wearing plain clothes, but she was a good match for Ye Yang.
"Hey! Xiao Yin'er, do you miss me? The young man walked straight to Ye Yin as if no one was around, and greeted her warmly.
"If you are a scoundrel, I won't miss you!" Ye Yin turned her head and no longer paid attention to his appearance. "Sister Bang Qing, this is my soul. His name is Tong Yu, and he likes to be poor on weekdays, so don't be surprised by my sister. Ye Yin's sister voice made Zhao Bangqing feel more cordial, and she was not so nervous.
"Hello." Tong Yu greeted Zhao Wanqing with a smile, his smile was very bright and straightforward.
Zhao Bangqing replied politely.
Ye Yang sat down with the girl, Ye Yang sat opposite Ye Yin, and the girl sat on the seat next to Ye Yang.
Ye Yin looked at the girl and said slowly: "This is my brother's soul, sorrowful." ā
"Hello girl." Melancholy smiled, his voice as gentle as a human.
Zhao Bangqing also replied politely.
Today's Ye Yang seemed a little silent.
