Chapter Twenty-Three: Xiaobai's Strange Behavior
"Princess, it looks like the princess and the princess still like you very much!" The maid Xiangzhi moved a pot of flowers into the house and built it in a corner, Yulan Qiong picked up the jade bracelet that Bai Xiyu gave her, under the swaying light, the jade bracelet did not have a trace of impurities, crystal clear, fine texture, it was a very rare treasure, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Princess, the slave maid looks at this bracelet very valuable, Princess Duan has really made a lot of money!" said Xiang Zhi.
Yulan Qiong glanced at her and said, "This bracelet is the princess with her heart. This bracelet is not ordinary, this is a beauty bracelet. Our Tianyu country is located in the south, and most of the women in the south have petite hands, and the bracelet is too big but cumbersome, this beauty bracelet is not big or small, just right!" she embroidered her eyebrows slightly, and put the bracelet in the jewelry box quite satisfied.
In recent days, Qianshan Twilight found that Xiaobai was lazy and unwilling to move, always sleeping day and night, and had not begged for food around her for a long time, which was a bit abnormal!
I thought about going to the front yard to ask Shangguan Qingqing, Shangguan Qingqing quit the marriage, and there were some reasons for this, but the eldest lady did not come to her to ask about things again, and the prime minister's house lived in peace as before, as if the previous marriage contract had never been engaged, but she always had a faint feeling of unease.
When she came to the front yard, the corner of her eyes swept away, Shangguan Ruwan, who came in with a small head at the gate of the courtyard, stopped and waved at her, Shangguan Ruwan ran in quickly, and when she arrived at Qianshan Dusk, she mysteriously took out a pendant embroidered with gold ** flowers from her arms, as if she was afraid that she would not accept it, Shangguan Ruwan stuffed it into Qianshan Dusk's hand with an anxious face, looked left and right and whispered: "This is what my begging mother made for you, you must wear it tonight!"
"Why do you have to wear it tonight?" asked Chiyama Twilight curiously.
"Yes, it's because it's a full moon tonight..."Shangguan Ruwan tilted her head and said ignorantly: "I don't understand either, just wear it!"
Although Qianshan Twilight was curious, she didn't ask again, and the child probably listened to the adults to do so!
"That's... Shangguan Ruwan's little face was full of embarrassment, she looked at Qianshan Dusk's face, and said cautiously: "That, Sister Qian, can you tell the eldest brother? Let him tell his father, his father has not been to his mother's house for a long time, and his mother always cries secretly in the middle of the night, I don't want my mother to be sad!"
Qianshan Twilight saw Shangguan Ruwan's careful pleading, and her heart suddenly became very bitter, in a noble family with a group of wives and concubines, the children of the concubines would be ridiculed and embarrassed because of the mother's disgrace, and they would also look at the faces of others when they spoke and acted.
She slowly squatted down, held Shangguan Ruwan's small hand, and said gently: "Sister will remember what she said, don't run around, go back quickly, otherwise your mother will be worried!"
"Hmm," Shangguan Ruwan nodded vigorously, turned around and ran out again.
She turned around, but was startled, Shangguan Qingqing stood on the side of the door at some point, and at this moment he stared at the drape in her hand, with a thoughtful expression.
She smiled and asked, "Does the master have something on his mind?"
Shangguan Qingqing raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze was as warm as the sun, and he picked up a pen and paper: "I heard that you saved Ruwan last time?"
She waved her hand and smiled, "It just happened to happen!"
Shangguan Qingqing hesitated for a moment, and wrote with a normal face: "Anyway, I still want to thank you, tonight, if there is nothing else, don't go out of the house!"
Qianshan Twilight was stunned for a moment, and remembered that Shangguan Ruwan said that it was a full moon just now, and said that she should wear a draper, and now Shangguan Qingqing asked her not to go out of the house, and instantly she felt that something was going to happen tonight, and it was still unusual.
However, seeing Shangguan Qingqing's rejecting face, it was clear that she didn't want to talk anymore, so she closed her mouth knowingly, Shangguan Qingqing, who she had always seen, was gentle and polite, and she had never had a trace of impatience with her, but today he seemed to be a little uneasy.
The more unusual it is, the more eccentric it is, or perhaps, it has something to do with his hidden disease, and when she thinks of this, she can't sleep even more excitedly.
The night is dark, the full moon tonight is big and round, the golden moonlight is sprinkled all over the courtyard, the blue glazed tiles are shrouded in the moonlight, shining with a soft luster, no different from the past, but I always feel that something is wrong,
"What's wrong?" she said secretly, thinking over and over again, and suddenly she froze for a moment, she knew that something was wrong, the long and short whispering insect chirpings in the night and day, but at this time, it was silent, and the silence was a little terrible.
Xiaobai, who was sleepy during the day, also had a spirit at the moment, squeaking restlessly, circling around the twilight of the thousand mountains.
"Oh, you can't be honest for a while!" Chiyama Twilight scolded in a low voice. It was almost hour, nothing had happened, perhaps she had thought too much, she stretched and prepared to sleep, when she accidentally caught a glimpse of the moonlight spilling through the gap in the window lattice turned pale blue, she thought she was mistaken, and hurriedly pushed the window open completely.
To her horror, she found that the full moon had indeed turned into a blue moon, an extremely strange color, a faint blue like a cloud of blue smoke, more like a kind of ghost fire, completely enveloping the moon, and even the stars in the surrounding canopy had disappeared.
What made her scalp tingle even more was that Shangguan Qingqing stood under the blue moon with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something, his soft plain gauze clothes fluttered in the wind, and the whole person melted into the light blue moonlight, exuding a hazy luster all over his body, which was indescribably weird!
It won't be like a werewolf, the full moon transforms!
Qianshan was trembling, and had already forgotten all about Shangguan's clear entrustment during the day, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to go out and ask, so he opened the door hard, but he didn't expect that Xiaobai quickly drilled out along the crack in the open door, and pounced on Shangguan Qingqing standing in the courtyard like lightning.
"Xiaobai..." she was afraid that Xiaobai would hurt people madly, so she shouted urgently, but it was too late, Xiaobai jumped up, as fast as a meteor, and opened her mouth to bite Shangguan's clear throat.
I heard him snort, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he vigorously threw Xiaobai out, and fell straight down. Xiaobai's outstretched claws were like barbs, climbed up along the trunk of the tree on one side, jumped on the glazed tiles again, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
She was completely frightened by Xiaobai's actions, and ran to see Shangguan Qingqing's eyes closed tightly, and her face was sallow, "It's over, I won't be bitten to death!" Qianshan Twilight thought desperately, if Qingqing died, it was estimated that her little life would be over!
She stepped forward to wipe his snort in fear, fortunately he was not dead, and there was still a faint breath.
