Chapter XII
Naturally, I didn't reply to that love letter, and I didn't know how to reply, but this Yuan Gaoming seemed to be quite patient, and one letter a day, all of which were full of wind and snow. Soon, this matter spread in the Guangyuan Corridor where the women's rooms lived, and a women's room was pursued by the two right ministers, which in their eyes was a blessing from cultivation, not to mention, the right minister was still so young and elegant. I don't know what this right minister is looking for me.
When accompanying Youji to the courtyard to see the first lotus flowers, even Youji couldn't help but ask about it.
"Niangniang, don't make fun of me, Sha Luo doesn't dare to climb the right minister." I immediately explained.
Youji smiled and said, "Actually, Lord Right Minister, he... She stopped halfway through her words and just looked ahead.
Following her gaze, there were seven or eight women in twelve singles under the corridor. One of the women was very beautiful and conspicuous in the crowd, she was wearing a gentian-colored Tang dress of appropriate shades, lined with the five clothes of Shion Maruhagi, tied with white arabesque, her hair was long and long like a weeping willow in the summer moon, and her posture was soft, and the moment I saw her face clearly, I couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't it the face I saw in modern times?。。 It's just that now she is a hundred times more beautiful than what I have seen in modern times.
"Concubine Wenche." I blurted out.
The current Concubine Wen Che is face is smug, when she saw Youji, she did not salute, but affectionately took Youji's hand and said: "It turned out to be my sister, are you also here to enjoy the flowers?" It's really rude.,It's not that I don't want to salute.,It's just.。。 She glanced at her bulging belly.
The little prime minister's face showed a look of indignation, and Youji smiled kindly: "What kind of etiquette does my sister look like this, my sister is different from the past today, but she is pregnant with my Yamato's future East Palace." ”
When Concubine Wen Che heard this, she smiled happily, revealing a little bit of her little daughter's naivety and said: "It's still best for my sister, since I was pregnant with this child, my sister often sends people to send things over, and my Feixiang House can't let it go." ”
"Who told us to be good friends since we were young?" Yu Ji nodded her forehead and said, "Come back to Fei Xiangshe as soon as possible, don't let us worry." ”
"So, take your leave." Concubine Wen Che and the maids left slowly.
"Niangniang, you are so gentle. The Lord hasn't been to Honghui Hall for a long time, and even if she is pregnant, she shouldn't always dominate the Lord. In the past, the Lord was to you. The little prime minister looked at their backs and said.
"Little Prime Minister," You Ji stopped her at the right time, and said lightly: "The things of people in the world are like all kinds of flowers.
The color is easy to change, and the heart becomes numb. Remember, the most fickle thing in this world is the human heart. ”
Her complexion was as calm as water, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes, but I knew that the more people buried their hearts like this, once they broke out, the consequences would be unpredictable.
After coming for so many days, I haven't even met Emperor Murakami, and sometimes I think that Concubine Wen Che is a little too stupid, in this court, such a long-term dominance of the emperor, even the best sisters will turn their faces.
As soon as I got up early that morning, I saw the little prime minister running into my room with a panicked face.
"Sha, Sharo, do you know that the palace is haunted." She looked flustered, obviously frightened.
"Haunted?"
"Yes, the women's room of the Xuanyao Hall died last night, and," The little prime minister leaned over and said in a low voice, "I heard that she had no face when she died. ”
A chill rose above my head, "No face? You've heard that, right? ”
"I've heard from the women who found the bodies, and it's scary to hear that the deceased's face seems to be peeling off." She didn't dare say any more.
Hearing her say that, it really didn't seem like an accident.
The news spread quickly, and everyone was immediately panicked, and as soon as it was dark, everyone hid in the room. My heart was also up and down, wondering what kind of ghost was so terrifying.
Thinking of this, I put on a single coat, carried a peony lantern, and walked to the Xuanyao Hall where the accident happened yesterday.
As soon as I walked to the aqueduct, I heard a woman's muffled snort from the next room, and then I saw a white figure float out and disappear in front of my eyes.
I stabilized my heartbeat, stretched out my slightly trembling hand, turned the woman's face, and when I saw it, I was so shocked that the lantern in my hand almost fell to the ground, and sure enough, it was a faceless face! I could only faintly see the eyes and teeth that were still trembling on my bloody face, and I immediately turned my face away, retching.
I was vomiting twice, and suddenly a cool hand came to my shoulder at some point.
White-powdered grandma
My body stiffened, my scalp was numb, could it be that the ghost had returned? As I put my hand in my arms and was about to pull out the charm, a sound as clear as dew falling on a blade of grass sounded above my head.
"Sharo, why are you here?"
When I looked up, I was overjoyed, it was sunny!
"Why are you here?" I couldn't help but ask.
"The Lord sent someone to pass on the master to the palace today for this matter, but the master and brother are currently in Meinong and can't rush back, so I came." As he spoke, he walked over to the woman's side, crouched down, and examined it closely.
"Qingming, I seem to have seen a white figure just now, and it looks like it's a woman's back." I hurriedly said.
He nodded, and suddenly, as if he had found something, he picked up something in the woman's hair, and I brought the lantern closer, and it turned out that he had some white powder in his hand.
"Qingming, this is..." I asked hesitantly.
"Grandma Whitepowder." He spat out a few words softly.
White-powdered grandma? Usually appears as an old woman, and likes to deceive good-looking girls, tricking them into painting their faces with a kind of white powder made by themselves, saying that this powder can make the girls fairer and more beautiful, but the whole face of the girl who is smeared with this white powder will fall off, and the white powder woman will take the girl's face for her own use.
My heart chilled, how could there be so many terrifying ghosts in ancient Japan.
There was a cacophony of voices outside, and a man dressed in a yellow dyed straight coat came to the door of the room surrounded by the crowd.
Qingming glanced at the person and bowed slightly, "Lord." ”
Is this man Emperor Murakami? I looked up and saw that he was only twenty-four or five years old, handsome, although he did not have the demeanor of Yuan Gaoming, but he also had a bit of momentum.
"Qingming, what the hell is going on?"
"Back to the Lord, it's the white powder grandma who is making trouble."
"Grandma Powder? I thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true. If this continues, there will be a lot of confusion in the palace, Qingming, you have to find a way to deal with that monster in these two days. ”
"Ministers should do their best."
Chuan Zhen's order, immediately send additional manpower to guard around the twelve halls. Qingming, you solve Grandma Bai Fan as soon as possible, I don't want to see anyone have an accident again. He waved his hand and motioned for his men to take the body out.
Qingming paused and said, "But the minister can't guarantee that Grandma Bai Fan will definitely appear in these two days." ”
"Since Grandma Bai Fan likes the dough of girls, then let's find a woman to be the bait and prepare early, then it will be easier to catch Grandma Bai Powder." I couldn't help but interject.
Only then did the emperor notice me and said, "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”
"Back to the Lord, my name is Sharo, I am the niece of Lord Kamo, and now I am the maid's room next to Youji Niangniang." As I replied, I glanced at Qingming beside me, and his face was still calm.
"You're a good idea, but who should you send to be the bait?" The emperor didn't blame me for being rude.
"Lord, even if no one is the bait, minister." Qingming suddenly spoke, and he gave me a silent look.
"I'll go." Before he could finish, I had already spoken.
There was silence all around, the emperor was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Ji Jun of the He Mao family, and his courage is not small, and I am right." ”
"Thank you, Lord." I bowed.
"Qingming, I'll leave it to you this time." After the emperor finished speaking, he left with his attendants.
The room suddenly fell silent, and Qingming looked at me without saying a word, and I felt a little hairy in my heart.
"Well, I'll go back to the room first, and Qingming should go back early." I laughed dryly.
"Kamosara, do you know what you just said?" There was a rare hint of displeasure on his calm face.
"Of course I know, if I don't catch that monster sooner, I'm afraid more people will die, what's wrong with me doing this?"
"You've got a point."
"Of course it makes sense, and I didn't do anything wrong."
"But in case something happens to you, how can I explain it to Master and Senior Brother."
I laughed and said, "Qingming, I'll be fine, I'm not afraid, and with Qingming to deal with that monster, I will definitely be able to, I'm optimistic about you." ”
"Sharo. You just believe in me? A hint of surprise crossed his face.
"Well, because of you," I looked at him and said with great certainty, "I will become the greatest Onmyoji." ”
Qingming raised his eyes sharply, looked at me deeply, and suddenly said, "I won't let Sharo have anything to do." ”
"Well, it's decided." I smiled and nodded.
In fact, when I said this, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart, but I had already said it on the spur of the moment just now, and it was too late to regret it.
But after thinking about it, I'm also in this industry, what ghosts have never been seen, what is a white powder grandmother, and Abe Qingming, I think maybe I don't have a chance to make a move at all.
