The eldest lady has always been outspoken and outspoken, never speaking in such a sinister manner.
Tan Qin glanced at the room suspiciously and frowned even more.
After dinner, Haoruisheng let Tan Qin burn a piece of soothing incense as usual. After resting, he leaned on the bedside and read books. Tan Qin personally took the maid and his wife who were keeping watch in the outer courtyard to check every place carefully.
After passing by, the courtyard door was bolted, and then we returned to Haoruisheng's bedroom.
Seeing Tan Qin come in, Haorui Sheng stood up and opened the gauze curtain and said, "You have worked too hard these past two days. Let someone else guard you tonight. You can go back and have a good night's sleep. Your eyes are all red."
Tan Qin said: "Now I am the only old man left in this yard. Now I have seen the eldest lady's big day. Even though I have been working hard these few days, I deserve it. Miss, please go to bed early. I will stay outside."
Haorui Sheng's face darkened: "I'm not a child, why do I have to get up at night to nurse? You also said that you are the only old man left by my side. If you collapse again, who do you want me to count on?
Are you going? Be obedient and go back to bed quickly. You have to be energetic, otherwise I will really have no hope. Just leave Xiaohong outside."
Tan Qin couldn't bear it these days, so she didn't say anything else after hearing Hao Ruisheng's insistence.
In a few days it will be the big day for the eldest lady to get engaged. Originally, there was still Tan Yin to alternate with her, but now she is the only maid left in the yard who has been serving her for many years. Tan Qin also knows that she is most sick at the moment.
The eldest lady's engagement ceremony will take a few days of hard work.
After Tanqin went to the embroidery pavilion, he called Zhu Mei and explained in detail about the night watch, and then went to the house where he lived in the back.
She and Tan Yin lived next door. There were four servant rooms in total. She and Tan Yin each had a small room. The other two large rooms were one for the maids and the other for the wives and mothers-in-law.
When passing by the door of Tanyin's room, Tanqin glanced at the dark doors and windows and sighed heavily.
The voice of the conversation suddenly disappeared, and she actually had a bad feeling in her heart.
After entering the room, Tan Yin was really tired, so he lay on the bed without washing up and quickly fell asleep.
In the embroidered pavilion of Haoruisheng in the front yard, Zhu Mei went upstairs to wait for Haoruisheng to lie down, then went downstairs and slept on the warm cage where she usually slept while on duty at night, playing piano and music.
This was the first time that Zhu Mei was left on night duty for Haorui Sheng. This meant that she would be reused. Therefore, Zhu Mei was extra cautious and made up her mind to serve her carefully and strive to leave a good life for the eldest lady and Sister Tan Qin.
impression.
She also knew that something happened to Tan Yin, and maybe she could be promoted to a maid like Tan Yin in the future.
With this thought in her mind, Zhu Mei secretly reminded herself not to fall asleep and listen carefully to the call upstairs. But as soon as her head hit the pillow, her eyelids began to grow heavy involuntarily.
Zhu Mei's heart was still bright, and she kept reminding herself not to sleep, not to sleep, but soon she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she fell into a deep sleep.
As soon as she fell asleep, the old willow tree in the gallery released a scarlet light, and the scarlet blood turned around and filled the entire tree. The strange scarlet branches began to grow crazily, and went straight to Horisson's window.
As soon as the weird scarlet willow branch penetrated deep into the room, the little mirage lying in the Kunlun jade beside Haorui Sheng immediately opened its tired eyes.
The little guy saw this monster every night and was no longer afraid. However, his weakening body made him increasingly unable to protect Haorui.
Staring fiercely at the demonic red wicker that was getting closer and closer, the little guy clenched his little fists and released the last energy. In an instant, the white and crystal clear barrier spread from Kunlun's jade body, wrapping Haorui Sheng's body bit by bit.
Since yesterday, the little mirage felt that it could no longer support a qualified barrier. It felt as if some evil aura had seeped into the barrier. I wonder if it would have any impact on Haorui Sheng.
The wickers seemed to sense that the little mirage was using the barrier to hide Haoruisheng's breath, and they accelerated towards the bed at a frantic pace.
The little mirage desperately clenched its little fists and tried its best to expand the barrier and expand it. It was about to cover Haorui Sheng's entire body. After all, those powerful demon branches were one step faster than the little guy.
Before the little mirage's barrier was fully opened, one of them stretched to Haoruisheng's feet, and without any hesitation, it stabbed into the center of Haoruisheng's feet.
Haorui, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. His originally pitch-black eyes had turned as coquettishly scarlet as wicker.
The pure white barrier that the little mirage worked hard to open also collapsed with a "pop" at this moment.
The little mirage took one last desperate look at Haoruisheng, who had a strange expression on the bed, and closed his eyes tiredly. His small body was so transparent that he almost completely disappeared.
Willow branches frantically inserted into Haorui Sheng's body from the soles of her feet.
But this time, these willow branches were not absorbing, but injecting something into her body. Haorui's entire body, the blood vessels under the skin, could be seen with the naked eye, with scarlet blood flowing.
At the same time, Tan Qin, who was sleeping in the backyard, suddenly woke up from her dream.
Tan Qin sat up suddenly and looked into the room, only to find that it was empty.
She just dreamed of talking about the sound.
In her dream, Tan Yin urgently called her to see the eldest lady, saying that the eldest lady was being harmed by the devil...
Tan Qin glanced at the dark night outside the window, recalling the dream that seemed to be real just now. After all, she still felt uneasy. She got up, picked up her clothes, and walked to the front yard with a lantern.
At this time, those demonic branches were still frantically injecting scarlet blood into Haorui Sheng's body. Tan Qin walked into the embroidered pavilion carrying a lantern and saw Zhu Mei sleeping on the warm cage in a deep sleep.
She didn't disturb Zhu Mei, and walked upstairs with a lantern. Tan Qin couldn't see the evil branches that penetrated deep from the window.
She walked up to the bedroom on the second floor and smelled it. She felt that the smell in the room was not good, so she walked to the incense burner and lit a stick of sandalwood.
The smoke of sandalwood spread into the room, and those voluptuous willow branches felt the purifying and exorcizing breath of sandalwood. They twisted their bodies a few times in discomfort, and slowly pushed out of Haorui Sheng's body.
Reluctantly, he shrank toward the window and slowly retracted it.
Those willow branches withdrew from the body, and Horatio, who was staring at scarlet eyes on the bed, slowly closed his eyes again.
When Tan Qin walked to the bed, lifted the curtains and looked on the bed, she was completely relieved to see that Haorui Sheng was sleeping peacefully and peacefully.
She glanced at the dark night outside the window, knowing that she wouldn't be able to sleep even if she went back, so she simply took apart the temporary bed and fell asleep next to Haoruisheng's bed.
The watch sounded three times in the distance, and it was the end of the ugly season. The deep courtyard was completely silent, except for the howling wind at the back.
Under the big willow tree, Yan Yan and Shen Yuyun arrived as promised.
Yan Yan looked up at the big bare willow tree and asked Shen Yuyun, "Is it okay to do something at this time?"
Shen Yuyun nodded: "We only have this convenient time. As long as we take out the beast's heart later and seal it in time, there won't be any problems. I brought the Xiezhi box. You just need to rest assured and follow my instructions. Just do it.”
Yan Yan nodded and took a lavender talisman from Shen Yuyun's hand.
This talisman was completely different from anything she had seen before. The talisman drawn on the door was not written in cinnabar, but in particularly complicated dark green ink. It might be ink made from some kind of spiritual plant. Yan Yan could vaguely smell flowers and plants on it. The taste is slightly bitter.
