After a few moments, the porcelain bowl and dagger were ready.

Xiangyu looked at Yueru beside him and ordered, "Help her up." ”

Yueru obeyed the order and stepped forward, letting the sleepy Adao half-sit on the bed, and leaning her upper body on Yueru's chest.

Xiangyu picked up the dagger on the table and looked at the servant girl standing beside him: "Go out." ”

The servant girl quickly glanced at the dagger in Xiangyu's hand, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she bowed and retreated.

Xiangyu wiped the edge of the dagger with a damp cloth and held the dagger close to his left index finger.

"Childe, are you going to feed Ah Tao with your own blood?" Yueru realized what Xiangyu was going to do, and exclaimed in surprise.

Ah Tao in his arms moved uneasily.

"Hold her up. Xiangyu quickly cut a wound on the pad of his left index finger with the dagger, and a small stream of blood poured out instantly.

Xiangyu held the porcelain bowl in his hand, caught a few drops of blood dripping down his fingertips, and then took a strip of white cloth to quickly bandage the wound.

Xiangyu picked up the porcelain bowl containing a few drops of his blood and walked to the bed, Yueru reached out to take it, Xiangyu hesitated and handed him the porcelain bowl.

Yueru straightened Adao's upper body, brought the bowl close to Adao, and fed him to drink blood.

The red blood was slowly poured into Ah Dao's mouth, and Yueru smelled the rich fragrance of blood.

For ghosts, human blood is the best and most delicious nourishment, which can help the ghosts' mana, and can also temporarily weaken or even temporarily eliminate the ghosts' fear of humans.

The stronger the nobility of the human being, the greater the effectiveness of human blood against the ghosts.

As the most noble human being, Xiangyu's blood is naturally the best of human blood.

Yueru secretly sucked a mouthful of blood, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and couldn't help but be jealous that Ah Tao had such a good life, and could taste the blood of his son, who was also a ghost, why didn't he have this treatment.

After the blood feeding, Yueru retreated as ordered, and Xiangyu sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her temples, and her face began to look tired.

There was silence inside, and only the rustling of bamboo outside could be heard.

Xiangyu had been on Adao's face for a while, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, skin, and even the black satin hair pressed against the pillow......

This face, which has not been seen for a long time, has too many traces of the past, and it is unsuspecting in front of him at this moment.

He was trying to find something on this face, or to recall something through this face.

The smoke in Xiangyu's inky deep pool was tumbling and unusual, and under the smoke, a trace of confusion and complex shimmer leaked out.

Xiangyu stood up, took a deep look at Ah Dao, who was still asleep on the bed, and turned around to leave.

It's just that he had just taken a step when he suddenly touched something at his feet, and when he looked down, he saw a small flower half the size of a palm being trampled under his feet.

Xiangyu was stunned, moved his footsteps, slowly squatted down, picked up the flower, looked at it, and found that the peanut was strange, three ethereal and hazy leaves like floating clouds surrounded the water-colored stamens in the middle, and the flowers and leaves intermittently flashed yellow, blue, and red.

"Three-color cloud tan......" Xiangyu said softly.

He had seen a record of this flower in the "Ghost Search Record", and the three-colored cloud tan was a sacred flower in the ghost world, which generally grew in the wild places of the ghost world and was extremely difficult to find.

Why did these three-colored clouds appear in the Jade Disturbance Courtyard?

Xiangyu stared at the ever-changing flowers and leaves for a while in contemplation, then slowly turned his head and looked at Ah Tao on the bed.

There was a burst of small footsteps outside the door, and a small servant announced outside the door: "Childe, the tanuki ghost waiter asks to see you." ”

Xiangyu's expression froze, turned around, put the three-color cloud in his hand into his sleeve, and then walked towards the outside of the house, when he reached the door, he stopped, and instructed the little maid who came to pass: "Go and get a basin of water, give her a clean face." ”

"Yes, Childe. ”

Xiangyu continued to walk forward.

After he arrived, he did not immediately return to Xiangfu, but first went to inquire about the changes that had occurred between the Yin'an clan and inside and outside the court in the few days since they left Yin'an.

Xiangyu was served by the maidservant, treated the wound on her chest, and changed into clean clothes before going to the study to meet the raccoon slave.

As soon as Xiangyu stepped into the study, the raccoon slave stepped forward and saluted Xiangyu.

Xiangyu nodded and sat down on the couch in the study.

The raccoon slave hurriedly stepped forward and filled a cup of tea that the little girl had just brewed and brought it to Xiangyu.

"Say it. Xiangyu got straight to the point, and the tacit understanding with the raccoon slave for many years let him know that the raccoon slave must have returned with useful news at this time.

The tanuki nu bowed slightly, and replied respectfully: "The slave went to check a little about how the pre-death curse was finally unraveled next month, and I came to report to the son." ”

"On the day when the deadline for the onset of the pre-death curse was approaching, before the hour had arrived, His Royal Highness sent someone to send invitations to all the nobles who had been pre-dying, inviting the nobles to his mansion to enjoy the flowers and plants. ”

When the dancing girl was sent back to Yin'an by Yin Er Gongzi and Yueru, it was almost noon, and the deadline for the pre-death curse had passed, but the spells on the nobles who had been invited to the palace of the three princes did not occur. ”

Therefore, one of the keys to the successful lifting of the pre-death curse is the expiration of the final time limit for the onset of the pre-death curse. Xiangyu pondered.

The tanuki smiled and replied, "Yes, the slave also has this point of view." ”

Xiangyu fell into a deep thought.

The tanuki slave knew his master's temperament and habits, so he moved his body to the side and burned incense for Xiangyu with a very light movement.

Soon, the light smell of Sanyun incense lingered in the house.

Xiangyu's body moved slightly.

He suddenly asked, "Has Lord Luan come to the mansion today?"

The tanuki replied: "I learned that Gongzi has returned today, and I have already sent someone to deliver a prayer post, and I will come to the house to pay a visit later." ”

Xiangyu let out a "hmm", and unconsciously, there was a trace of exhaustion in her voice.

"Childe, do you want to rest for a while?"

Xiangyu rubbed his eyebrows: "No." ”

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and his hand moved, and then he reached out and took out the three-color cloud tan that he had just picked up in front of Ah Dao's bed from his sleeve.

When the tanuki slave saw it, he couldn't help but lose his voice in surprise: "Three-color Yuntan!"

Xiangyu glanced at the tanuki slave, his expression returned to his usual nonchalance, his two fingers pinched the thin branches of the three-colored cloud, turned back and forth between his fingertips, and asked, "Do you know the origin of the fall from her?"

The tanuki was stunned and shook his head.

"Hmm......" Xiangyu was a little disappointed.

The tanuki slave stared at the three-colored cloud and meditated for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The slave knows!"

"Oh?"

Although the slave didn't know where this three-color cloud Tan Adao came from, the slave suddenly remembered an old incident that he happened to encounter in the past, before Adao lurked in Xunfu for a few days, and then returned to Xiangfu, and it was His Royal Highness who sent her back. ”

Xiangyu's hand moved.

"When Ah Tao and the Three Highnesses separated, Ah Tao promised to find a strange flower and grass for the Three Highnesses, thinking that this three-color cloud was what Ah Tao used to fulfill the promise of the day. ”

"Why did she suddenly make such a promise?" asked Xiangyu.
