When we returned to Yilan Villa, the lantern festival was still in full swing, but when we turned the street, the laughter and joy of the people gradually became farther and smaller. After entering the mansion, the sounds were almost impossible to hear.

Lanterns were hanging on the side of the road along the way in the mansion, but there were no extra voices, as quiet as a painting.

He and I quickly went to the room arranged for us.

This is the first time I went to a place where I might live forever, and I found that the houses were arranged in a deep place in the mansion. There were lush bamboo forests on both sides, which made the place look very quiet.

He knocked on the door, and Su Su asked inside, "Is the eldest lady back?"

As he said that, he came over to open the door. When he saw him, Su Su was so scared that he gasped. I hurriedly stepped forward: "Su Su, let us go in. Mr. Liu wants to see Empress Shuyuan."

"oh oh."

She hurriedly stepped aside, Liu Qinghan nodded and walked in.

Zhao Shuyuan had already fallen asleep. The bed should have been cleaned up long ago, very soft and comfortable. Through a layer of curtains, he stood beside the bed and saw the old and quiet sleeping face. However, even in her sleep, she was not stable. Several hanging needle patterns were engraved deep in the middle of her eyebrows, and it deepened from time to time as she frowned.

Liu Qinghan stood there and watched for a long time. I stood behind him and could hardly hear his breathing.

When I turned around, I saw Susu still standing behind me, her eyes wide open, and she stared at Liu Qinghan's temples without blinking, with an expression of her eyes that she couldn't believe.

Maybe that's what I was like just now.

At this moment, the person in front of me breathed a deep breath and turned around.

I hurriedly raised my head and saw him turn around and look at me. His face looked very solemn, and there were several deep hanging needle patterns on his eyebrows. He said, "What's going on?"

I was about to speak, but he thought about it and made another gesture of silence. Hear me and asked Su Su to put down the curtain in the middle of the room. We sat at the table and then said, "Don't wake her up."

I nodded and said, "After I went to the capital, I soon found the mansion you gave me, but I heard that it was always haunted."

"Haunted?"

He looked at me in surprise. I smiled and made an expression of no worries, and continued, "But I have never met you before. I just heard that Lao Zhu often hear people crying at night, but when I went out to look for it, I couldn't find a figure. He always suspected that the house was haunted. Their people were so scared that they returned to the countryside, and he was the only one who was still guarding there."

"so……"

"Later, Zabixing entered Beijing."

As soon as he heard the name of Zhabixing, he immediately cheered up and looked up at me. I said, "He helped me find the 'ghost'. It was not until I left the capital that I brought people to me, which was Zhao Shuyuan. She probably escaped from the fire in Huangze Temple, but was very frightened, so her mind was very unclear. She probably remembered that King Yun was burned there, so she often went there to cry."

"King Yun...that is, the one who died in the fire-"

"It's him."

"What happened later?"

"Later, Chabixing found her. She usually hid in the west mountain and someone took care of her. This time, while I left the capital, Chabixing asked me to take her away."

"So that's what it is..."

His brows were frowning deeply, he was silent for a moment, and then turned to look at the bed on the other side of the room.

I know, he was still shocked.

A person who should have died for many years suddenly appears in front of him. This is not something that ordinary people can easily accept, not to mention that this person is Zhao Shuyuan and Pei Yuanzhen's mother.

When I thought of this person, my mind also calmed down.

Liu Qinghan, his mind was almost sank when he heard the first sentence I said this. His clear eyes were hidden under his long eyelashes. Even the candlesticks that were close to the table could not be fully illuminated. I looked at him and said softly: "What are you thinking?"

He glanced at me and said lightly: "Nothing."

His breath, even his breath, seemed to be stained with the coolness of the night.

I looked at him, then looked down at him, holding his hands together, and smiled faintly.

The atmosphere in the room became colder.

The two of them were quiet like this. I don’t know how long it took to each other. When he looked up at me again, his eyes were a little hesitant, but he still said, “By the way, Miaoyan…”

I looked up at him.

"You went to Beijing before, didn't you say goodbye?"

"Um."

"She, didn't go with you?"

"No."

"Then her illness—should it be cured?"

"alright."

“…”

"It's all done."

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes immediately, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "This is great."

"yes."

Compared to my calmness, he was much more relieved, and his expression was very different from the indifference just now, but this smile did not last long on his face. Soon, he seemed to realize something and his smile slowly calmed down.

He glanced at me.

I looked at him, but I was plain and didn't even say a word.

I knew he must have remembered what happened in that new house that night when Miaoyan was so scared that he lost his mind.

Not only Pei Yuanzhen's death, but also the words he said in her ear before she died.

He was silent for a while and asked, "Then, did she say anything?"

I looked up at him for a while, and just as I was about to speak, I heard the sound of the door being knocked. Susu hurried over. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a tall figure standing at the door, still breathless: "You are back!"

I turned around and saw that it was the second brother of the Zhao family, and my face turned red from running.

Then I remembered that he had just gone out with me and asked me to sit by the river to rest. He went to find Liu Qinghan. As a result, when Liu Qinghan and I met, I forgot about him. The two of them rushed back, and he stayed at the lantern festival alone.

When Liu Qinghan saw him, he was stunned for a moment: "Second brother?"

"You two are really—"

Zhao Yuncheng walked in, laughing and crying: "I thought Qingying was gone, and I was worried that something happened again. I was about to come back and call out people to find her. You guys, at least you can leave me a letter!"

I felt very sorry and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, we both talked about things, and as we talked about it-"
