The bonfire party was indeed held in the back garden of Jingyue Palace.

In the past few days, because the queen has been executed, the lifeless harem has been filled with laughter for a while.

calmly put on a dance costume and danced a song next to the bonfire in person, almost laughing off the queen mother's big teeth, and several concubines couldn't help it, laughing back and forth.

"Niangniang, you can rest quickly, look at this footstep is unsteady, the lower waist is like an old sow arching food, don't blame the concubine for laughing at you, you really don't look like it." Concubine Ning got up and dragged her back to her seat, laughing out of tears.

Empress Dowager Guan ate the dim sum fruit offered calmly, and the scum in her mouth with a smile spurted: "You little hoof, you really want to laugh at the dead, what kind of dance is this, let the real dancing see it, smash your dog's head!" ”

is calm but has a serious face, and even brings a little grievance: "Queen Mother, in order to dance this dance, the concubine has been learning from the master of Si Le Si for several days, and the master praises me for dancing well, otherwise I wouldn't dare to dance in front of everyone." ”

"This is a master who is blindly coaxing, just drag it up and hit ten boards." Concubine Ning laughed.

Everyone laughed for a long time, the moon was on the top, and the dew fell, and they were afraid that the queen mother would not be able to hold on, so they dispersed.

Calmly returned to Fengqi Palace, and did not go to bed, but stood by the window, looking at Jingyue Palace from afar, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

The second pot of dim sum had already been prepared, and the laughing man picked up a few delicate ones and put them on the table, calmly picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The taste of the dim sum is really good, the one with hallucinogens added to the Empress Dowager Guan should be even better, she has eaten a lot, if there is no good show tonight, then this old lady is really a god, not comparable to ordinary people.

Sure enough, after an unknown amount of time, a terrible scream sounded in the dark night, piercing the quiet air and resounding above the palace.

Calmly walk back to the couch, take off your coat and go to bed.

In a moment, the door of the temple was slammed open, and the light of the lantern illuminated the room as bright as day.

Zhang Da strode in, and roared in a hoarse voice: "Calm down, have you slept?" ”

Calmly put on his coat and put on his shoes to meet him.

"Nanyu, it's Nanyu's ghost! appeared again, in the Jingyue Palace, looking for the Queen Mother to ask for her life, you go and persuade her, she is your maidservant, and you are very good to her, she will listen to you. ”

Zhang couldn't help but say, taking her hand and dragging her out.

The bleak autumn wind blew onto the body that had just been warmed, and he couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

Zhang took off his cloak, tied it to her, and led her to Jingyue Palace quickly.

Empress Dowager Guan was already crazy, shrunk on the couch in a draped cloth, waved her hands wildly, and shouted in her mouth: "You go, it's not me who hurt you, you go, you leave quickly。。。。。 ”

Through the thin window paper, you can clearly see that there are scattered ghost fires floating in the back garden, and those ghost fires come from nowhere, and they don't know where they go, they suddenly rise and disappear.

Zhu Changmao and several doctors on duty stood in the corner with their medicine boxes in their arms, their faces dazed, and they didn't know where to start if they wanted to heal.

"Calm down, quick, get Nanyu's ghost away." Zhang Jiang calmly shrugged in front of the window, but he took two steps back, intentionally or unintentionally hiding behind the palace maid.

glanced at him calmly, a self-deprecating smile floated to the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhu Changmao in the corner of the wall: "You come with me." ”

Zhu Changmao hesitated slightly, and walked over with the medicine box on his back.

Calmly walked towards the palace gate, Zhu Changmao followed her into the back garden,

Although the bonfire has been extinguished, there are still sparks bubbling up here and there, and the Queen Mother did not let people extinguish these sparks, saying that it was cold and there was a fire in the back garden, so that the house was warmer.

The ghost fire is still rising and disappearing, standing calmly to the side, manipulating his hands, not moving at all.

Zhu Changmao walked to her side, intentionally or unintentionally blocked her behind him, looked around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Even if Nanyou becomes a ghost, he is only a ghost, and he is very angry, so it is better to be careful." ”

"Do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?" Speak calmly and indifferently.

Zhu Changmao instantly relaxed, showed a little smile, and spread his hands: "I thought Niangniang believed it." ”

"And how do you explain these ghost fires?" Calmly staring at his face in the darkness, his face seemed to glow, full of holy light, and looked like a fairy.

"To be honest, I can't explain it, but one day, someone will be able to explain it clearly, the world is developing, it's just that we still know too little." Zhu Changmao said sincerely.

Calmly grinning, listening to his words, he is like a wise man who has traveled through time.

"Then you have a way to extinguish these ghost fires and put those people in the house at ease?" Calmly asked.

"When I was a kid in my hometown, I did follow these things for a while, and as far as I can see, they usually disappear on their own, but this kind of thing usually appears in the middle of summer, and it is really weird to appear at this time."

Zhu Changmao touched his chin and said with a smile.

"Zhu Changmao, if we weren't friends, I would definitely kill you, you look stupid, but you know too much." Calm and cold.

"Niangniang, what I know is only half-understood, and it does not hinder Niangniang's career, although I don't know what Niangniang wants, but Zhu believes in the golden mean, it doesn't matter, hang high." Zhu Changmao arched his hand.

"Then we'll wait here, and when these ghost fires are gone, we can go back and get a big reward." Calm down.

"Niangniang, in my experience, the ghost fire usually does not dissipate for a few days, and those in the house may not have this patience." Zhu Changmao sighed.

Shrugged calmly: "You said that it was the height of summer, and you also said that this thing appeared at this time, it is indeed weird, and it will come and go quickly." ”

Zhu Changmao smiled bitterly: "Niangniang must drag Zhu someone into the water?" Is it as simple as being a hostage? ”

"Fang Ting has already gone into the water, can you still stand on the shore and only take care of yourself? I've already gotten on the boat, and I can't get down. Calmly said.

"Niangniang, you are really, how can you say it, you are despicable, but you are too honest, Zhu really has nothing to say." Zhu Changmao said with a smile.

Calmly looked into the distance: "Actually, I've always been curious about a question, why do you hate me, and why did you suddenly change your attitude towards me, is Guan Yong, who has been living in the countryside, your true love?"

Did you kill me because of her, and because she turned enemies into friends with me? ”

Zhu Changmao laughed dryly: "Niangniang, you and I have a very shallow relationship, there are some things that I am inconvenient to say, and I say it from my mouth, I am afraid that it will only make the misunderstanding deeper and deeper, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Calm and silent for a long time, he nodded silently, but slowly spoke: "Aren't you very smart?" Do you know what I mean? ”

Zhu Changmao was silent.

"If you don't say it, I'll take you by default." Calm down.

"Niangniang, turning the clouds and rain is not a matter for me and other young people, and Zhu is a rural man, and he can't play any role in this kind of thing, at most, he can only be a listener, listen to Niangniang's complaints, and even a loyal word can't come up with it." Zhu Changmao said in a low voice.

laughed calmly, and sadness appeared between his eyebrows: "You really love Fang Ting, for her, even you can hide your cleverness very well, pretending to be a stupid person to please her." She wants to be strong, so you make her a strong man between the two of you. ”

"Niangniang, life is short for decades, why bother with everything, since you love her, everything is up to her, what's more, I can't marry her, I'm always sorry for her, and she should be." Zhu Changmao said hoarsely.

"Even if she does something wrong, you let her do it?" Calmly asked.

Zhu Changmao sighed heavily: "I convince myself that she is the standard of right and wrong, I can't give her any material enjoyment, all I can give is this bit of freedom, she can do whatever she wants in front of me, she can do whatever she wants, no matter what kind of thing, I can remedy it for her, if not, then die together, and die with the person I love the most, and I don't hesitate to do it for a pleasure." ”

"What would you do if she wanted to kill your own brother and take everything that belonged to your own brother? Will you kill her, or do her a favor and fulfill her wish? Calmly asked.

Zhu Changmao looked at her blankly and did not answer.

"Say, what will you do, as you just said, she is the standard of right and wrong." Calm and aggressive.

"Hui Niangniang, I don't have a younger brother, I don't know how to answer your question." Zhu Changmao made a long album at her and said in a low voice.

"You don't have to answer, I already know the answer." Calmly said disheartenedly.

From a calm point of view, Zhu Changmao loves Fang Ting far more than Sima Nan loves himself.

He was even willing to go to the capital as a hostage for her, but what about Sima Nan? When his appearance was ruined, he suspected that he would change his mind and refuse to take her with him.

Even Zhu Changmao avoided the question that she refused to answer, and what kind of answer Sima Nan would give, she already knew it in her calm heart.

"Zhu Changmao, go to the well platform to fetch two buckets of well water and pour them on the bonfires that have not been completely extinguished." Calmly ordered Zhu Changmao.

Zhu Changmao didn't ask why, he went to the well platform to fetch a few buckets of water to extinguish the fires one by one, and after all the fires were extinguished, no new ghost fires appeared, and those ghost fires that originally fell in the air disappeared and never appeared again.

However, after a cup of tea, the back garden, which looked strange because of the ghost fire, was restored to calm and tranquility.

"Calm down, Nan Yu her, is she gone?" Zhang led a team of guards wearing heavy armor and approached and asked in a dumb voice.

"Maybe it's because Master Zhu has treated too many patients, and the yin qi on his body is too heavy, and even ghosts are afraid, so he left? Who knows, anyway, the concubine told her, there is a debtor and a debtor, who harmed her, she asked her to find someone, don't scare innocent people. Calmly said.

In such a cold weather, Zhang wiped his sweat solidly, looked around, and nodded calmly: "It seems that he is gone, and all these ghost fires are gone." ”

"Your Majesty, how is the Queen Mother? Do I need to go in for a consultation again? Zhu Changmao interjected at the right time.

"Okay, come with me." Zhang took his arm and walked towards the hall.

Aunt Zhou walked up to Calm, sneered, and whispered: "Niangniang, what you just said is wonderful, it's not about not scaring innocent people, she is taking the blame for you, and if you want to find someone to resist your life, it's right to find you." ”

"How do you know that I didn't tell her that?" calmly asked her, choking Aunt Zhou to roll her eyes.
