Chapter 452: Another Nightmare
Not long after Yao Yun left, Rong Che returned.
Ji Yanning told him about it.
"Since he insisted on refusing to give up that Zhuangzi, we had to go to the prefect of Liangzhou. Ji Yanning said.
They originally didn't want to reveal their identities, after all, the affairs of Qianzhou City have not been completely dealt with yet, if they let others know that King Xuan did not return to Chang'an directly, but came to Liangzhou City, how many times will it cause some suspicion.
But now Yao Yun is a person who doesn't eat hard and soft, and it seems that he won't let go of Zhuangzi easily.
Ji Yanning and Rong Che didn't want to waste time in Liangzhou City, so they could only solve this matter through the yamen.
The rights of the royal family are more than enough to deal with the merchants.
Rong Che nodded and responded.
He asked people to stare at that Zhuangzi, and I have to say that there is indeed something strange about that Zhuangzi.
Yao Yun said that the Zhuangzi was used to make lanterns, but Yao Ji had other Zhuangzi used to make lanterns, but there were many people, and the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city was rarely haunted on weekdays, and there were not many people inside.
They were all guarded by tall and strong men.
Rong Che said: "But this is too coincidental, the lantern you are looking for belongs to theirs, and Zhuangzi is also his." ”
Ji Yanning bowed his head and said, "So, this is a fate that will collide sooner or later." ”
Hearing the word fate, Rong Che's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "What kind of fate is it with such a person." ”
Ji Yanning turned his head to look at Rong Che and said with a chuckle: "Okay, there is no fate with such a person." ”
Rong Che reached out and rubbed her head.
Ji Yanning was a little dissatisfied, and grabbed the hand on his head: "I'm not a little girl anymore, don't touch my head anymore, your hair bun is messed up by you." ”
The corners of Rong Che's lips raised higher: "I like it." ”
Ji Yanning snorted lightly and reached out to rub his head.
Rong Che didn't care, let her fiddle.
Ji Yanning felt bored, but ignored him, got up straight, and said, "I'm back in the room." ”
"Good. Go to bed early, and go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to see if you can find it. Rong Che said.
Ji Yanning nodded, Rong Che would take care of this matter, so she naturally didn't have to worry too much.
Because every time she approached the place where the bones were buried, her body would be a little uncomfortable, so Ji Yanning had to nourish her spirit this time and fell asleep early.
It's just that she didn't expect that she dreamed of the six-sided lantern again.
This time it was no longer just a dream of the lantern, in her dream, the lantern seemed to be crying and screaming in a low voice, and it seemed to be in pain.
"Help Me ......"
"Help Me ......"
Ji Yanning had this dream all night.
The sound of the lantern echoing in my head all the time, and the lantern looked as strange as if it were a person.
When she woke up, it was already dawn.
As soon as Pearl brought the washing water into the room, she turned around and saw Ji Yanning suddenly straighten up, as if she had encountered something terrifying.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Ji Yanning's eyes widen and a frightened look, Pearl immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.
When Pearl walked in, she saw that Ji Yanning's forehead was covered with sweat, and the back of his dirty clothes had been soaked.
Ji Yanning's mind was still echoing with that faint cry for help, and she couldn't hear Pearl's words at all, she was panting softly, she was really a little frightened.
If the first time I dreamed of that lantern was accidental, but I dreamed it again last night, could it be that there is really something boring?
What the hell is that lantern all about?
She'd only seen it once, so why did she dream about it for several nights in a row?
"Miss, are you alright?" Seeing Ji Yanning's eyes empty, Pearl couldn't help but shout a few more words.
Ji Yanning came back to his senses, raised his eyes and glanced at the pearl that was close at hand, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare. Ji Yanning said a little tiredly.
She was indeed tired, physically and mentally exhausted.
Pearl stepped forward and patted Ji Yanning's back gently, and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare, and it's not true." The slave maid will get some soothing medicinal food for the young lady later, so that the young lady can stabilize her mind. ”
Ji Yanning did not refuse, nodded and responded: "Okay." ”
It is rare to see such a fragile side of the eldest lady, Pearl is very uncomfortable, she knows that when Ji Yanning was in Jiangzhou, she often had nightmares, and she was basically awakened many times.
Later, when she came to Chang'an, the number of nightmares that the eldest lady had became less and less, unless it was a thunderous and rainy day, or she was sick, otherwise she was rarely scared like this on weekdays.
Ji Yanning stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, then lifted the quilt, and after washing up, he asked Pearl to prepare hot water again, and only after taking a bath did he feel refreshed.
When she walked down the inn lobby, Rong Che was having breakfast in the lobby.
Because they chartered the whole inn, but it was also casual.
Seeing the tiredness in Ji Yanning's eyes, Rong Che asked, "What's wrong, didn't you sleep well?"
Ji Yanning didn't hide it from him, and said, "Yes, I dreamed of that lantern again, don't you say it's strange?"
She said it lightly, but Rong Che knew that she must have been frightened again.
"Why don't we change to an inn. Rong Che said, "Since it's uncomfortable to fall asleep in this inn, let's change it." ”
From Yingzhou City to here, Ji Yanning was rarely haunted by nightmares like this along the way, and he dreamed of a lantern that he had only seen once before for several days, he naturally felt that it was the problem of the inn, maybe if he changed the inn, there would be no such troubles.
Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "That's it, don't bother." ”
She didn't think it was the inn's problem.
She was proficient in the art of poison medicine, so she knew that there was nothing dirty in the inn, and she didn't do anything with food or incense.
As for the nightmare, it was all from the lantern.
Maybe if you leave Liangzhou early, you won't have such strange dreams again.
The two of them had just finished breakfast, and Lord Cai, the prefect of Liangzhou, had already followed Qiu Li to the inn.
"Cai Meng, the prefect of Liangzhou, has seen His Royal Highness King Xuan, His Royal Highness King Xuan is coming, and his lower officials have missed the distance, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins!"
Cai Meng stepped forward and saluted Rong Che.
King Xuan raised his eyes and looked at Cai Meng, and then he spoke: "No need to be polite, this king came out to investigate the case this time, and I didn't tell you before, it's normal that you don't know, but the news of this king in Liangzhou doesn't want others to know." ”
Cai Meng hurriedly said: "What His Royal Highness King Xuan said is that the lower officials know the proportions. ”
Ji Yanning looked at the Liangzhou prefect, about forty-five or sixteen years old, slightly chubby, a little short, wearing official uniforms, and respectful to Rong Che.
