Anyway, there were not many people left in the yamen. According to Xuan Se, this day was considered a public holiday. Even if they did not come, the higher-ups would not pursue it. After all, the whole world was celebrating the death of the thief Dong. We didn't encounter any trouble along the way. When we arrived at the Situ Residence, Mystic Moon was the first to climb over the wall and open the back door. We sneaked in like two thieves.
After running to the backyard, the three of us stood in a dark corner.
"Alright, we're in." Xuan Yue said excitedly. Xiyan, where does the woman you mentioned live?”
I looked around and hesitated."It seems, it might be…nearby.”
"Seems like it?" " What?" Xuan Yue cried out," Why don't you know the way? How big is this Situ Residence? Besides, didn't you say you've been there twice?”
The corners of my lips curled up a little awkwardly. Alright, I'm bad with directions. You don't have to be so straightforward.
"I have been there, but…something is wrong…"
"Something's wrong?"
I nodded, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. The furnishings of the house seemed to be the same, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard didn't show any signs of withering. However, I feel like something is missing…
Xuan Se said," Alright, since you're here, then walk slowly inside. Junior Sister, lead the way."”
I said "okay" and walked ahead. The black siblings looked around vigilantly while following closely behind me.
I was a little hesitant at first, but when I walked a little further, I found the path very familiar. It was the corridor I had walked through twice. I happily quickened my pace and turned the corner. As expected, the small courtyard and the bamboo door appeared in front of me.
I turned around and smiled. Diao Chan was the only one who had come over. She was not in the residence now, so there was no one there.”As I spoke, I gently pushed open the bamboo door.
I turned around and glanced at the courtyard, but I was suddenly stunned.
The courtyard was desolate. The red flowers that had once bloomed had actually become withered grass. My fingertips trembled slightly, and I almost couldn't speak. I suddenly remembered the strange feeling I had when I came in. It was because I lacked the fragrance of flowers.
The last time I came here, the moment I entered the back hall, the fragrance of this flower was by my side. I only needed to walk in the direction where the fragrance was the thickest to reach this courtyard, but now…
I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xiyan, what's wrong?" Xuan Yue called out to me from the side."I didn't expect Diao Chan's place to be so desolate. Why isn't there even any flowers?”
I ignored her and quickly ran towards the house.
"Xiyan, Xiyan!" Xuan Yue called out from behind.
I had already run to the door and pushed it open.
The room was silent and dark. The turbid air told me that this room had not been inhabited for a long time. Even the windows that were wide open the last time they came were tightly shut this time.
I walked around the house. There was no one. There was no one everywhere.
At this moment, Xuan Yue and Xuan Se caught up from behind.
The moment they entered, Xuan Yue exclaimed," Eh? What was this place? Xiyan, where's the patient you mentioned?"
I sighed and shook my head slightly.
"What's going on?" Xuan Se frowned.”
"I…I don't know. She lived here anyway." Moreover, the courtyard was originally filled with fresh flowers. Senior Brother, do you still remember? I showed it to you last time. You said it could be used to calm your nerves. But now…now…"
Xuan Se's brows furrowed even more tightly as he muttered,""How did this happen? Could it be that they changed locations?"
" Don't panic," Xuan Yue said." Maybe they really did change locations?" You guys stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll go look for it, okay?”
Xuan Se and I looked at each other." Alright…"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a girl's voice coming from the courtyard outside the door. It was crisp and clear, and it came from afar.
We all shut our mouths at the same time and leaned carefully against the door to eavesdrop on what was happening outside.
"Sigh, what bad luck. Why was I sent to this place? Do you know that this house is haunted?”
"What is it? Haunted? Don't scare me!"
"Why would I lie to you? Let me tell you, Miss Diao Chan used to live in this courtyard. After she left, her mother died very quickly without anyone to take care of her. Old Master was afraid that she wouldn't listen to him, so he didn't tell her until now.”
"Is there such a thing?"
"Liars are dogs. I overheard the steward's conversation two days ago. He said that he wanted to give that woman a grand burial. No matter what, he used a set of lies to fool Miss Diao Chan. I don't know what her current situation is. If Marquis Lu likes her and takes her in, we have to prevent her from causing trouble, right?”
"This…Young Lady Diao Chan is not having it easy. Old Master still had to guard against her. Wasn't that too unreasonable?”
"What do you know? This is called political trickery, you know? Also, it was said that the woman in this house turned into a malicious ghost after she died. The Yin Qi in this house was too strong, so all the flowers died. Now that the life force of the flowers had been sucked dry, they would have to suck the life force of the people next, so no one dared to come here to work.”
" Ah…You…You…Don't say anymore…It's scary, so scary…"
"What are you afraid of? Those guys are guilty, we didn't do anything wrong…Hey, don't run…"
Footsteps sounded as the two girls ran out of the courtyard one after another.
Xuan Yue listened quietly for a while and said,""He ran far away, but it seems that he will be back soon.”
Xuan Se sighed." Forget it. Since things have come to this, we should leave quickly. It won't be good if we're discovered."”
I was silent as I followed the two of them out.
It was already a little dark outside. I lowered my head, feeling a little uncomfortable. Although I might not be able to cure her even if I went to treat her, and judging from the woman's condition that day, she did not have long to live, I still felt that something was wrong with her dying so inexplicably.
Diao Chan…Could it be that she still didn't know about this until today? It was hard to say whether she had betrayed her pride to be by Dong Zhuo's side for her mother's sake, but at least she hoped that she could be by her mother's side in her last moments. For the sake of her country, why would she pay such a price? This had nothing to do with her. If she had to say it, it was only because she had a beautiful face that could topple countries. This…seemed to be the original sin…
Even Xuan Yue, who was always lively, felt a little down. She fell silent for a long time before saying,"This Miss Diao Chan is really pitiful…"
Seeing that I was silent, Xuan Se advised,"Junior Sister Qiao, you don't have to be too sad. You've wanted to see her several times and sent her a lot of precious medicinal herbs. You've done your best. Even if Miss Diao Chan knew, she would be grateful to you.”
I shook my head. I didn't feel guilty…
Xuan Yue raised her head and looked ahead. Suddenly, she called out,"Ah, brother, Xiyan, look! There are so many people ahead. Is Marquis Lu back?”--
