Daoist, I am not fragrant!

The moon and stars were sparse. Although it didn't rain, this night was rarely cool.

In Prince Ning's mansion, the servants and guards who patrolled the night went to and fro outside Yahui Hall in the main courtyard, and the tall lanterns almost illuminated half of the sky.

Compared with the heavy guards outside the courtyard, the inside of Yahui Hall was much quieter. A few girls stood in the porch with their heads down, not daring to make a sound.

It wasn't until seeing the deacon's aunt coming out of the dormitory that she stepped forward lightly and asked in a low voice, "Has Your Highness rested?"

"Rest, rest." The deacon aunt sighed, reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, she was relieved, and turned to tell the little girls: "Be smart when you are on duty at night. What's happening..."

"Auntie," a younger girl couldn't help but grieve when she heard her say that, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm afraid..."

"What's so scary about this?" Aunt Deacon looked at the group of girls around her, all of them had fear on their faces, and said calmly, "Don't you think about how many people there are in and out of this courtyard. I'm afraid there are more guards than in the palace right now, what's so scary."

"Yes, but they don't know how to catch monsters." Another little girl stirred the handkerchief in her hand, and said tremblingly: "The Jinwu and the Taoist priest of Taiyuan have both come to see it, no, it's still useless."

"Bi'er—" the deacon aunt gave her a warning look, and then comforted her: "Why is it useless, our Highness used the golden talisman sent by the director, and now we can sleep peacefully."

"I think it's just that the monster is a bit creepy. It will take some time for the Taoists of the two views, but sooner or later they will always be able to catch it."

The little girls were still apprehensive when they heard what she said, but they didn't dare to complain anymore, so they all lowered their heads and said: "Yes."

"Okay," the deacon aunt waved her hands wearily, and arranged: "What to do, where to guard, go."

After finishing speaking, she found a place to stand in the porch, and the other little girls didn't dare to disobey her wishes, so they scattered around in twos and threes to watch the night.

"Bi'er, don't be too scared, we may not meet anything." Xia'er, a slightly older girl who guarded the west corridor with Bi'er, saw that she was really scared, so she couldn't help comforting her.

"But if we do meet..." Bi'er saw that there was no one else around, and she could see the lights patrolling outside through the courtyard wall, so she couldn't help leaning towards Xia'er and said, "I've heard people say before that our King Ning Your Highness has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is not a person with strong yang energy, so he is most likely to be targeted by these dirty things."

"If something really happened to His Royal Highness King Ning, how could His Majesty let us go..."

After Bi'er said this, Xia'er became worried, and even the night wind blowing on her body no longer felt cool, but only felt a little bit cold.

"Don't talk about it." Xia'er struggled for a long time, then said in a low voice: "Our Highness is the descendant of the dragon, so naturally he will be blessed by the heavens, and nothing will happen."

"I hope..." Bi'er shrank her body, looked around anxiously, and murmured in her mouth.

The night was getting deeper and deeper. In order not to disturb King Ning's peaceful sleep, most of the lights in the main courtyard were extinguished, leaving only a few scattered lanterns scattered around.

The two little girls stood by the pillars of the west porch, listening to the movement in the room while looking at the patrolling lights outside.

Fortunately, the first half of the night passed, and nothing bad happened.

Xia'er couldn't bear it any longer, she leaned against the pillar, secretly confused.

But Bi'er kept looking around vigilantly because of the fear in her heart. The shadows of trees and bamboos in the darkness seemed to have turned into human figures, and the chirping of cicadas and insects seemed to her to be whispering ominously.

"Wait for another stick of incense, and someone will take over..." In Bi'er's mouth, she didn't know whether she was talking to Xia'er or muttering to herself.

But at this moment, she found a light on the path not far away, slowly walking towards them.

In an instant, the fear surged out of her heart, and Bi'er hurriedly pushed Xia'er hard: "Xia'er, Xia'er, wake up!"

Xia'er was startled by her action, and immediately opened her eyes nervously: "Why, what's wrong?!"

"Look quickly, what is that?" Bi'er was so frightened that she was about to cry, she pointed to the light and said, "Let's go and call Aunt Deacon."

Xia'er followed her hand to look over, but after a while, the light was still approaching, so close that Xia'er could see that it was just a little eunuch holding a lantern.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, look carefully, it's not a monster." Xia'er kept comforting Bi'er, until the little eunuch actually came in front of the two of them, Bi'er was a little relieved.

"Where did this little father-in-law come from? It's so late, what's the matter?" Although Bi'er could see clearly that it was a young eunuch, she was still afraid and suspicious, and asked while hiding behind Xia'er.

The little eunuch carrying the lamp, wearing very clean blue and white clothes, seemed to be glowing faintly under the blend of darkness and light.

He first bowed to them politely, and raised the brocade box in his hand, which was slightly larger than the palm of his hand, and then there seemed to be an ethereal voice in his voice: "The little one is from the palace of the concubine Bai, and the empress is in her heart." I miss His Highness, so I asked my servants to bring me something to nourish my spirit."

"Miss Bai Concubine?" Xia'er usually dealt with people from the palace a lot, as if she had never heard of any Bai Concubine before, doubts inevitably arose in her heart, so she said: "Your Highness has already fallen asleep now, my little one." Father-in-law may wish to give the things to us, or to the deacon's aunt, and we will hand them over when His Highness wakes up tomorrow."

This kind of handling is reasonable, but the little eunuch shook his head, holding the box in his hand and said: "Your Majesty specially ordered that the things must be handed over to His Highness."

"But Your Highness..." Bi'er was about to refute again when she froze suddenly.

The little eunuch slowly raised his head, but on the face that should have eyebrows and eyes, there was only a mist that could not be dispelled.

The mist was still flowing slowly, flowing, but in the blink of an eye, both Bi'er and Xia'er were enveloped, but they couldn't even move.

The little eunuch seemed to smile. With the mist all over his body, he walked into King Ning's bedroom as if no one else was there, and the brocade box in his hand was dripping with blood.

It was obviously only the size of a palm, but the blood seemed to flow endlessly, dripping all the way, leaving a bloody path on the ground.

Finally, the little eunuch stopped and stood beside King Ning's bed.

The white mist filled the air, slowly enveloping King Ning, who was rarely sleeping peacefully on the bed, and then put the brocade box, which was still bleeding, beside King Ning's pillow...

Early in the morning, not long after Wuweizhai opened, several disciples from the Golden Crow Temple hurried over to buy some snacks.

"Several Taoist priests, is there anything urgent today? The rose cake and sweet-scented osmanthus cake are not out yet, only jujube flower cake and almond cake are ready-made." Unexpectedly, Zhong Tang also woke up early , seeing that it was a person in the Golden Crow Temple, he personally entertained them.

"It doesn't matter what the pattern is, shopkeeper, you can just bring us some as you like, and we will go to Prince Ning's Mansion to rest our stomachs." The short little Taoist said casually while chatting with Zhong Tang last time.

"Oh? It's Prince Ning's Mansion again?" Zhong Tang was fetching cakes for them, when he heard the words "Prince Ning's Mansion" unexpectedly, he couldn't help but think of the "love affair" he heard a few days ago.

"Yes, Prince Ning's Mansion last night—" the short little Taoist was about to continue, but his sleeves were pulled down by his companion, apparently because he thought he talked too much and was afraid of revealing something he shouldn't have said.

Zhong Tang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and the little Taoist also felt a little embarrassed, touched his head and said: "The shopkeeper is familiar with our Master Li. Uncle Li must know more about what is going on."

It’s okay not to mention this, but when this matter was mentioned, the smile on Zhong Tang’s face also cooled down, and he fiddled with the jade beads and golden bells on his waist, and said leisurely: “How can you be considered acquaintances, you Master Li is probably busy with the flirtatious I've already forgotten about it."

"Ah... this..." Although the short little Taoist priest didn't know anything, he could hear Zhong Tang's tone of voice was not kind, and was about to say something else.

But at this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps dragging the floor with chains behind him.

Zhong Tang squinted his eyes, looked at the morning light through the short little Taoist priest, the corners of his lips could not help but curled up in the green robe: "Oh, it's rare, he's still here."
