Chapter 41 Ghosts
In the Yiyue Pavilion, Lin Qing tossed and turned, her head ached, Li Ruyue was sleeping beside her. After dinner, she made a fuss all night and didn't go back to the Linglong Pavilion, so she will sleep here.

Suddenly there were two knocks on the door outside, especially clear in the silent night, Lin Qing shouted, "Mother Cui."

There was no movement for a long while, and the knock on the door rang twice again. Lin Qing frowned and raised her voice, "Mother Cui!"

"Mum, what are you doing? You're so noisy." Li Ruyue was woken up and muttered.

"In the middle of the night, where did Mama Cui go, and who knocked on the door?" Lin Qing got up and sat on the bed, and shouted again, "Mama Cui! Cui Ming!"

There was still no movement, but the knock on the door from outside slowly sounded again, this time accompanied by vague sobs, Lin Qing's heart trembled a little, and she woke up her daughter.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Li Ruyue opened her eyes impatiently.

"Yue'er, go out with me to have a look. I don't know where everyone has gone." Lin Qing pulled his half-dream daughter out of the inner room, and saw an oil lamp on the outer table flickering on and off, and Cui was nowhere to be found on the small couch next to him. Mom and Cui Ming.

"Where did anyone go? Mother Cui, Cui Ming, Mrs. Hu?" Lin Qing even called Mrs. Hu, who was watching the yard, but there was no response at all. She hesitated and opened the door of the outer room, dragging her daughter's hand across the threshold for two steps, left and right After looking at it, his gaze was fixed under the bare sycamore tree in the corner of the yard.

A gust of cold wind blew from nowhere, and a few wisps of blue smoke suddenly filled the air under the plane tree. An emerald green figure loomed in the dimness, and the cold wind blew the long hair lightly.

Lin Qing didn't see it very clearly, and called out hesitantly, "Who's there?"

Suddenly there was more smoke, and a green figure floated slowly in the smoke, with long hair fluttering, Lin Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound, and desperately grabbed his daughter's hand.

"Mother! It hurts so much, what are you doing... ah!" Li Ruyue was in pain, and wanted to shake off Lin Qing's hand. When she opened her eyes, she saw her back in the smoke in the yard, and she screamed and fell to the ground.

The cold wind was majestic, the green smoke was lingering, the slender figure turned around slowly, and the whole body made the sound of bones turning, and finally, the body turned around, but the hair that was scattered all over the sky could not see the face, and the shoulders were weird. It's creepy and creepy!
"Ahhh!" Lin Qing finally screamed, his eyes were tearing open, and he wanted to run back but found that his legs were numb, and he fell limp on the ground, looking at the approaching long-haired figure in horror.

The screams had already attracted the attention of other courtyards. Oil lamps were lit in each courtyard. The emerald green figures approached the mother and daughter, and suddenly parted their hair, revealing a pale and colorless face with two black holes in the eye sockets and a big gaping mouth. , Smiling sinisterly, Li Ruyue opened her mouth wide and rolled her eyes and passed out. Lin Qing was still screaming with her eyes wide open, until the emerald green figure erratically receded into the smoke and disappeared, her eyes turned black and she fainted. Poured on the daughter.

A white figure flashed into the room carrying two people, put them on the small tatami, went out and carried another person back to the corner of the yard, avoiding the servants who came over with torches, and quietly climbed out of the courtyard wall.

"Cooperated well, you actually know how to fan the cigarette under my feet." On the roof, Li Ru'an looked at the brightly lit Yiyue Pavilion not far away, and said to Xiao Huan with a smile.

"Next time, if you want to scare people, just let me know. Why bother to go there in person?" Xiao Huan patted the ashes on his hands, looked at the girl's terrifying face, and said with a smile, with a hint of pampering in his tone.

"That's right, those hidden guards of yours are really good. I don't know how to do light work, and this kind of work of floating around will be more rigid." Li Ru'an rubbed his chin in thought, thinking that it was very satisfactory.

Twelve in the distance wiped his sweat silently, he didn't want to play a ghost, it didn't suit his temperament.

"You don't know light kung fu?" Xiao Huan was surprised, seeing that she climbed up the roof every time. If she didn't have a good foundation in light kung fu, why would she move so lightly?
"Practice makes perfect." Li Ru'an smiled. He never imagined that when she practiced climbing, she was locked up in a paddock with only one bare tree, and seven or eight hungry wolves were released. God knows how many times she was bitten. Injuries, how many times did I fall before I became able to climb quickly with bare hands.

"It's late, you go back. Thank you for what happened just now." Seeing that he still wanted to ask something, Li Ru'an stood up and finished speaking, and jumped down the yard two or three times, leaving behind Xiao Huan who hesitated to speak. He came late and wanted to reveal his identity. He was afraid that she would be angry if he suddenly appeared on the day he entered the palace?

In the Qiyue Pavilion, the lights were brightly lit. On the main seat, Li Yuan, who was wearing a nightgown, had a dark face, while Cui’s mother anxiously patted Lin Qing’s mother and daughter on the shoulders, “Ma’am! Second Miss! Wake up!”

Li Ruyue woke up slowly, screaming in fright at Mama Cui's magnified face, Li Yuan frowned, and yelled, "Shut up! Do you still want to wake up the old lady?"

Lin Qing woke up screaming, and screamed again, terrified.

Li Yuan couldn't help but roared, "Shut up!"

Lin Qing tightly covered her mouth, trembling all over, while Li Ruyue huddled on the chair, looking around in horror.

"Tell me, what happened just now?" Li Yuan looked at Cui's mother.

"I don't know what's going on, I don't know what's going on. I and Cui Ming fell asleep outside, and when I woke up, I found my wife and the second young lady fainted in front of the threshold." Cui Mama replied anxiously.

"But, but I have called you so many times..." Lin Qing murmured, but his eyes seemed unfocused.

"Ma'am, how many years has this servant served you? Even if I slept to death, how could my servant not hear you calling my servant?" Mama Cui said anxiously, and Cui Ming beside her nodded sharply.

"That, that's a ghost! Daddy, there's a ghost!" Li Ruyue shook her head in horror, trembling her body, and said with trembling lips.

"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Yuan frowned, looked at the embarrassing mother and daughter with disgust, and said in a low voice, "I think you are all in a daze! Don't let people stop at night!" Li Yuan got up He tied up his collar, frowned and flung his sleeves away.

Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other, Cui's mother was trembling and anxious, "Cui Ming, bring in a few more oil lamps."

In the inner room, the lights were bright. Lin Qing sat on the edge of the bed with her daughter in his arms, took a deep breath, and suppressed the panic in his heart.

"Mother Cui, you, you and Cui Ming have been outside all the time? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

Cui's mother nodded sharply, "Yes, it's true, the servant has been squinting on the small couch outside, and didn't hear the madam call the servant at all. When I woke up, I saw you and the second young lady fainted in front of the threshold."

That inexplicably familiar green figure flashed in Lin Qing's mind, and he couldn't help shivering, shaking his head desperately and muttering, "It's not her, it's impossible..."

"The servant girl and Cui Ming are here to guard, madam and the second young lady to sleep." Cui's mother vaguely guessed who Lin Qing was talking about, and she felt a little nervous, and persuaded with a forced smile.

After sleeping until dawn, Li Ru'an walked to the window and took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling refreshed.

Li Ren and Li Ruyun had already been waiting outside, muttering something to Ziyan Alan, seeing Li Ruan coming out in a crimson blue shirt and skirt, his black hair was black and his skin was more than snow, it made people's eyes shine.

"What are you talking about?" Li Ru'an walked to the table and sat down, and asked with interest, with a smile in Taohua's eyes.

"Didn't Elder Sister hear anything last night? There were ghosts crying and wolves howling in the Moon Pavilion, which scared me so much that I didn't sleep well all night." Li Ruyun said in a low voice, with a look of lingering fear.

"A Fei said that when he heard the cry, he thought it was a thief. He rushed over with a few servants to have a look, and saw Mrs. Lin and the second sister fainted in the yard. Later, my father passed by. I heard it must be a nightmare." Li Ren shrugged and said.

"Young master, it's not a nightmare. I heard from the woman in the big kitchen that the second lady is calling for ghosts!" Zi Yan approached mysteriously, with a look of fear on her face.

"You girl, don't talk nonsense, the theory of gods and ghosts is unbelievable." Li Ren laughed dumbfounded.

Ziyan opened her eyes and shook her head and said, "I didn't panic, several maids heard it, and the second young lady trembled with fright, shouting that she saw a ghost! Besides, if it's a nightmare, it shouldn't be on the bed. Why did the two of them run into the yard and fainted?"

Li Ren spread his hands to express that he didn't understand, Li Ruyun rubbed his hairy arms, and approached Li Ru'an, "Is there really a ghost?"

"Don't do anything wrong in your life, don't be alarmed when you knock on the door in the middle of the night, let's have breakfast." Li Ru'an smiled, picked up a piece of taro roll newly researched by Mrs. Liu, um, it was sweet and glutinous.
