MTL - Imperial Uncle-Chapter 61 Fanwai · Drawing Willow (4)
When the night was dark, I was stargazing in the courtyard.
I have lived in the house of Celery Lane for a few days, and since Jingweiyi woke up, he got up during the day and I went out at night. He didn't find me, I was in control of him secretly at all times, and got along in harmony.
Zhang Xiao listened to me and never mentioned anything about this house. Jing Weiyi only assumed that this was a secret residence prepared by Zhang Xiao, and didn't ask much. It happened to be hidden on both sides.
Zhang Xiao inquired about these days, and no one in Jingweiyi was recognized in Suzhou. This house is next to another small courtyard, which is also unoccupied all year round. Only then did he venture to leave Jing Weiyi alone for the time being, and asked his master to treat the legs of Jing Weiyi. He left this morning and returned about three or four days later.
So in the whole house, only me and Jingweiyi were left alone, and it was more convenient for me to toss him.
Jing Weiyi's soul is far worse than mine, just because this body is his. If there is a confrontation openly, I can't take much advantage and can only act secretly.
This body is connected to his soul's anger. As soon as he falls asleep, I occupy my body and move around. How can a mortal body endure day and night? Before Zhang Xiao was here, I could n’t make it too obvious. I let Jing Weiyi ’s body rest for an hour every day. Jing Weiyi ’s soul had already weakened a lot. Now that he is gone, I ca n’t stop waiting for a moment. When Zhang Xiao returns, Jing Weiyi will disappear because of exhaustion, and this body will become mine completely.
Jingweiyi was frail because of his body and soul. He fainted every day. He ate, sat, walked, and sighed. A day passed. He thought it was Zhang Xiao or his master's house, and it was his duty to sit in the small room in the room that Zhang Xiao had cleaned up. At night, I was bored and moved around.
This courtyard is not small, simple and quiet, long-term unoccupied, the courtyard has grown a lot of weeds and wildflowers, the trees grow at random, adding the interest of nature.
Except for the place where Zhang Xiao cleaned up, the other rooms were locked. Although I was attached to the mortal body, I could make some spells, and when I was bored, one room opened.
There is nothing special in these rooms, they are all dusty, some are ordinary bedrooms, some are storing some game devices, some are full of books, and one is full of swords and weapons, and the bookshelf is still standing. Weapon sword spectrum. Another one looks like a study room. At the deepest part of the house, the case table still contains the pen and uncollected pens, and there is even a page of writing paper, but the ink in the pen has been completely dried, and the nib has a spider web. The old paper and the stack of manuscripts piled on the case are all yellow and dusty.
I flipped through those manuscripts to see that a good word of Xiuyi was actually not a essay and sentimental words, but a legend of knights. Bizarre ups and downs, beyond my imagination.
I have only heard of such books before, I haven't read them, and I did not expect that after many years of being a ghost, I unintentionally opened my eyes. Turned out to be unexpectedly exciting.
It's a pity that this manuscript will be gone before the end. I feel itchy and rummaging in the house, and find many beginnings and ends. Yesterday, I saw a wonderful spot, and it was dawn that Jing Weiyi was about to wake up. Just after Jing Weiyi fell asleep, I was in the courtyard for a while, so I went to the room to get the manuscripts, moved the low table lounge chair and sat under the porch, and lit the candles and looked at them.
When I saw it, I suddenly felt a trace of movement, and only heard a slight footstep slowly approached. I lowered the paper and looked up, and saw a figure walking into the moon door.
I'm a ghost, but this time I was startled by a living person.
Looking closely, the man turned out to be Liu Tongyi.
He ... why is he here?
Did he follow Jingweiyi? Or is it for the emperor's party to check Jingweiyi, and now comes to close the line? Or is there something wrong?
I probed carefully, and there was no one nearby except Liu Tongyi.
So I stood up, walked down the corridor, and deliberately revealed surprise: "Ransi? How can you ... suddenly appear here ..."
At night, Liu Tong's standing figure looked like a ghost, a silhouette: "Master Wang, don't worry, I'm here because I'm sick in the house and went out of Beijing secretly. His Royal Highness King Huai has just died, everything is chaotic, no one has find."
He smiled slightly: "In fact, I have been to Suzhou for two days, only a little later than Wang Ye. The small courtyard behind this house is also my private house, which has a secret door."
Oh, I also laughed and grabbed his arm: "Ransi, I know, you didn't want to worry about me, so you came after me, didn't you?"
Liu Tongyi's smile was even deeper: "Yes, I'm very uneasy, so I chased Wang Ye. But because of the presence of Mr. Zhang, it was inconvenient to show up.
Unexpectedly, Liu Tongyi was so infatuated with Jing Weiyi that he followed Suzhou all the way. I was thinking about him and he took the initiative.
I was wondering, should I hug Liu Tongyi and kiss him for surprise and affection, Liu Tongyi's sleeve slipped out of my hand, and people walked down the corridor: "What is Wang Yee looking at?"
I said lightly: "Lao Zhang wants to clean the house for you, clean it all around, and see these manuscripts in one room, and I will take a look at it. It turns out that the so-called knight legend is so beautiful. But think you don't blame me for moving What's in your house? "
Liu Tongyi still had a faint smile: "Oh, it's all old things, it doesn't matter. Grandpa likes to watch it casually." He also put something in his hand and put it on the table. I think Mr. Zhang has just left, and the food left in the hospital can't help but let me take some snacks. "
On the one hand, as I opened the paper bag in my hand, there were a few sweets in it, a sweet fragrance.
I praised, "This is good, wait for me to boil some hot water in a small charcoal stove and make a pot of tea, and you and me stargazing under the gallery."
Liu Tong leaned back, "It's better to have stronger tea."
I laughed: "This is natural."
After I made tea and sat down with the porch under the porch, I sighed, "At this time, when I see Ran Sisi, I feel like dreaming."
Liu Tongyi raised his tea cup: "I was in a small building in the back yard. I looked at this yard and watched it for two days, so I didn't feel like dreaming."
He sighed: "Actually, the king asked me for help in the prison in Beijing. Until this moment, I have a doubt in my heart, and I want to ask."
He took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and looked straight at me: "Dare to ask your Excellency, who is it?"
I paused for tea and asked, "Ransi, what did you say?"
Liu Tong's indifferent expression of leaning on the side has completely disappeared. In the light, he frowned slightly, his eyes sharp, and his expression was astonished: "Since I saved your Excellency, I would never say it. But I just want to know, Who is it, and where is His Royal Highness King? "
I looked at him in the light shadow, Liu Tong leaned out of my surprise.
I laughed again: "Ran Si, you are asleep, what is wrong with me, how can you say such a thing?"
Liu Tong's tone calmly said, "There is no difference between the appearance of His Excellency and His Royal Highness, no matter whether in Heaven Prison or before your golden cicada's shelling, there is no time and no reason to steal the beam. But ..." He sighed again, "Hi Nothing is the same as His Royal Highness. "
I smiled again and took a sip of tea: "So let's tell me what's different, I'll tell you what you want to know, OK?"
Liu Tongyi looked at me with a complex and helpless expression: "His Royal Highness King Huai would not use such a look, such a tone, say such a thing."
People can change, tone can be changed, and words can be born from a changed mood. I have many reasons to refute Liu Tongyi's sentence, but I listened to him continue to say.
"His Royal Highness Huai doesn't like sweets and doesn't eat these kinds of snacks."
"His Royal Highness does not drink strong tea at night."
"His Royal Highness is not someone who flips through others' items."
"His Royal Highness has read the manuscript you are reading."
...
I heard him say one by one, and finally I heard him say--
"His Royal Highness's love is not down. He will not say or do what you say."
I smiled sincerely, and raised my eyebrows to see him: "So then I have doubts and saved me, just to understand the puzzles and know where Jingweiyi is? Why do you like Jingweiyi so much? He doesn't at all like you."
Liu Tong relied, "I have finished the reason, please tell the truth."
I continued: "The person that Jing Weiyi likes is that Yun Yu, and he is full of him. When he was dying, he called you, but he wanted to scare you so that you would not suspect him to be a scam, so he could escape. I won't tell you that I really like you, why do you treat him like this? "
Liu Tong relied on his expression unchanged, his tone softened: "Please tell the truth."
I sneered: "Why do you pretend to be calm and take a sip of His Royal Highness, and you may have called Weiyi Weiyi many times."
Liu Tong gave me a light glance, and said lightly, "His Royal Highness King generally likes to be called by others."
what? I was a little hesitant for a moment.
Liu Tongyi continued calmly: "That is to say, if I shout in my heart, I also call Cheng Jun Cheng Jun, not Wei Yi Wei Yi."
...
Liu Tongyi continued: "Of course, I also think Cheng Jun is better than Weiyi."
…………
I silently watched Liu Tong leaning for a long while before saying: "Well, I tell you. Believe it or not, I didn't lie, but you certainly won't believe it. Actually-I am a ghost."
Liu Tongyi looked at me without any reaction.
I think he didn't respond for a moment.
I added: "I'm a hanged ghost, and I've been dead in that cell for many years." I stretched my tongue and rolled my eyes. "Le, that's it, hang a ghost."
Liu Tongyi still did not respond or came over.
I went deeper into the tunnel: "Because I ca n’t find the dead ghost forever, you know, the hanged ghost has to find the dead ghost to be reborn, so I only have the body of Jingweiyi. Now this body is Jingweiyi, yes, it is him My soul is my soul at night. I am going to let his body go around the clock, so that his soul is exhausted and dissipated, so that I can completely occupy this body. That's it. "
I finished the explanation and observed the change of Liu Tongyi. I saw that he frowned slightly and thoughtfully, and I said, "Look, you don't believe it."
Liu Tongyi's eyebrows suddenly stretched out again, "So it is."
Instead, I said, "Do you believe it?"
Liu Tongyi's expression really seemed to be without disbelief: "In the following, I only believe the facts, and the facts are in front of me, even if they are bizarre. It is also the fact. At the time of the corpse washing, there was a son Chu Xun who always accompanied His Royal Highness Huai. So I have been puzzled, Your Excellency is not His Royal Highness, why the body is indeed His Royal Highness. "
I frowned at Liu Tongyi and said sincerely, "Ransi, I really like you more and more."
Liu Tongyi smiled, "His joke, it should be enough."
I honestly said, "I'm telling the truth."
Liu Tong leaned up and raised the tea cup: "So, thank you. But I know the fact that I must try to resolve this matter. Your Excellency is a ghost. Is it because you have an unwilling wish that you are in the palace of Huaiwang?"
I also poured a cup of tea: "Do you want to ask me, how can I let Jing Weiyi go? I don't have any lasting wish, I just want a body. Jing Weiyi's body just happens to be what I want. I don't plan to leave. "
Liu Tong relied, "If you just want to find a body, or there is room for further discussion."
Is there room for further discussion, should you arrange another body for me?
Or is it more moving, Liu Tongyi intends to replace Jing Weiyi and let his own body let me have it?
I rebuffed: "I just think Jingweiyi is more agreeable. Then think, why do you have to rush me? Jingweiyi is the man in your entire court who thinks hell, anyway, he doesn't want to live anymore, it is better to be cheap. As for you I know you like Jingweiyi, you can continue to think of me as Jingweiyi, only if you have changed your temper. "
I dropped the tea cup and approached him: "That Jingweiyi is full of others, I only like you. From now on, Jingweiyi, only like thinking one. I have a body, you have Jingweiyi, no The best of both worlds? "
Liu Tongyi gently put down the tea cup: "If I like His Royal Highness, even if I deceive myself, I will not tolerate a body that has changed souls. Things in the world have their own belongings, each has its own cause and effect, and it is not yours that is why ? "
I laughed: "I was originally a ghost, and the rules of the world can't restrain me. Some things can be obtained as long as I ask. In fact, I think of the temperament, not the kind of person who is really indifferent." I touched the table. The manuscript above was turned over. "Should these knights have different ambitions, should you have written them? They look good, they are hot inside, and you have a temper like Jing Weiyi who doesn't understand your benefits. Maybe you are with me." , You'll find it better. "
Liu Tong leaned slightly and smiled, "I have been in the officialdom for a few years, and sincerely praise me for being upright, except His Royal Highness, only Your Excellency."
He took another remaining manuscript, carefully coded it, and suddenly the word turned, "Can I ask, Your Guigeng?"
I froze and dangled my mouth and said, "I am just a ghost, and my days are not over."
Liu Tongyi set aside the cleaned paper: "I want to ask, your age when you died."
Is it necessary to find out where I came from to deal with me?
I replied lightly, "Guess."
Liu Tongyi did not speak, and I stood up: "If you want to find out who I am, try to drive me, I'm afraid it's too late. Jing Weiyi's soul can only last for two or three days. However, I would like to give You have a chance, if you can guess who I am, I will leave Jing Weiyi's body. "
Liu Tongyi lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "Okay."
I stared at his profile under the lamp, and for the first time I said seriously: "I want to give you this opportunity because I like you. I really like you now and think."
And I know who I am, you must not guess.
Liu Tongyi also stood up and smiled lightly: "If you like me because you read these manuscripts, you like the wrong person. These manuscripts were written by my father, and he has died for several years."
He walked to the porch and looked at the thick night view in the distance: "This house is a private house bought by my father. The old name is Xishan Hongye House. Only I know him except him."
