Chapter 7: After parting, the soul has never dreamed 4
When it comes to quenching, Han Ruqi was speechless. Although he had also asked curiously what was going on, both of them avoided answering and obviously excluded him. Although he was depressed, he was not their companion after all, so he could only give up.
"The capital is not as peaceful as you think. The ghosts can be seen everywhere, and the Bon Festival is even more like a ghost. It's just that ordinary people can't see it." Wei Tanyi was tired of standing. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and spread it on the round stool before sitting down, which made Han Ruxu feel how stingy he was and his face was even worse.
"Then why can I suddenly see it?"
Wei Tanyi said: "Lord Han lost his memory. That night, I took out the treasured ecstasy fragrance to satisfy your curiosity. Why didn't you admit it?"
Ecstasy fragrance... Han Ruqi suddenly remembered the red sandalwood box. He was really shocked and forgot that Wei Tanyi had taken some powder from it and poured it on the candlelight. Is that the ecstasy fragrance?" Ecstasy... What is it for?"
"It is an extremely rare spice. After lighting a little, the person who smells it can open his eyes and see the ghosts that ordinary people can't see." Wei Tanyi knows nothing about it.
Han Ruxu was shocked: "In this way, don't I always have to be with these ghosts?"
"What about that?" Wei Tanyi asked back.
"You!" Han Ruxu really wanted to beat him up, but he was afraid that he would faint before he did it, so he didn't dare to act. "You actually..."
Wei Tanyi pointed to the ground: "Lord Han, don't worry. I have told you that the servants in your house sprinkled soybeans in front of the bed. Even the ghost under your knife can't approach when you are unprepared, and if you are awake..." There seems to be some other meanings in the smile, "Those ghosts can't get close to you. You Do you know it yourself?"
"The ghosts close to you will be solved by you without exception, so you don't have to worry. It's also your duty to get rid of these hidden dangers that others can't see, right?"

"Master, everything is ready." Si Si led the thin maid of honor to the courtyard.
Wei Tanyi didn't look back and nodded: "Go ahead, just don't let people find out." He answered and took the maid's hand and went out.
After a while, the door of the store was pushed open with a squeak. Wei Tanyi knew that the waiting person had arrived, so he turned around and returned to the store.
"What do you want to do when you come to me?" Han Ruqi was dressed in casual clothes and didn't even bring a knife. He stood at the gate of Yuezhai, looking uncertain.
"There is a good play that I want Lord Han to watch by the way." Wei Tanyi took the utensils and prepared to make tea.
There is no third person in the store. Even so, Han Ruxu did not dare to be careless. Last time, the miserable maid of honor suddenly appeared in the room where there should be no one else. Maybe there are demons and monsters hidden in every corner of this.
It was repeatedly confirmed that there was only the guy opposite in the store, and even the parrot in the corner fell asleep. Han Ruxu sat down at ease and asked, "Who are you going to haunt?" This is awkward, but it seems that I can't find any other words.
Wei Tanyi took care of the stove attentively and answered him after a long time: "Lord Han knows so well that Wei is really grateful."
"Humph!" I should have known that the dog couldn't spit ivory out of his mouth.
The water gradually boiled, and there was a gray fog in the dark room. The sandalwood did not rush to pour the crushed tea, but slowly picked up a piece of white paper placed on the desk early, cut it into an irregular circle with scissors, then filled with a ladle of boiling water, and slowly poured it on the paper.
Han Ruqi retreated and was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"
"You will know soon." After Wei Tanyi wet the whole piece of paper, his index finger pressed his lower lip and whispered a spell that Han Ruxu couldn't understand at all.
After a while, the paper began to change color. At first, it was some not very clear color blocks, and then it gradually turned into a moving picture, as if the desktop had been penetrated and something could be seen at the other end. Han Ruxu stared at the paper and suddenly lost his voice and screamed, "This is in the palace... Yes, it's the Zunwei Palace," he suddenly raised his head, "Do you want to attack the emperor?"
"You guessed half right. Keep watching." Wei Tanyi seemed to lack interest, and turned around and poured the tea into the kettle.
The maid of honor she saw that day soon appeared on the paper. She passed through the gate of the main hall of Zunwei Palace and walked to the sleeping Emperor Xuanping. Han Ruxu didn't know what would happen, and his throat was so nervous that it was dry.
The maid of honor may have said something, but Emperor Xuanping suddenly sat up and looked at her in a smit.
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Wei Tanyi handed over the tea and was blocked back. Han Ruqi looked too involved and was dissatisfied with the hand that hindered his sight.
Suddenly, Emperor Xuanping jumped up, grabbed the maid's neck, and pressed her on the table. The maid struggled desperately. Emperor Xuanping, who was over 50 years old, was far more powerful than her. After a while, the maid gave up struggling and her body began to become transparent. At this moment, a bright white suddenly broke into Han Ruxu's sight. The man put his hand on the maid's eyes, and the lax figure immediately gathered towards her hand and disappeared.
"This is..." Han Ruxu was so shocked by these two changes that he couldn't speak. Looking at it again, Wei Tanyi had reached out and took off the white paper, and there was only a pool of water stains left on the tea case.
"What the hell is going on!"
Wei Tanyi pushed the teacup over lightly: "I don't think I need to explain it anymore."
A cup of tea was not enough, and the thought came back. Seeing Han Ruxu sitting here, he just nodded slightly and went straight to Wei Tanyi, who bowed his head and said nothing.
"Master, it's done." In the past, she used to wear purple clothes, but today she is wearing the same white clothes as when she first saw her, so Han Ruqi can't help but recognize the white shadow that just broke into her eyes.
"Okay, give me the things." Wei Tanyi put down the teacup and walked over to her.
Si Si closed his eyes and raised his head, and his red lips opened slightly, which shocked Han Ruqi - what is this going to do? What surprised him even more was that it was still behind. Wei Tanyi actually stepped forward and lowered his head to approach the quenching, with the intention of kissing her.
"You...!" Han Ruqi shouted two words but didn't know what to say next.
Just as the lips and teeth were about to intersect, a wisp of dark red smoke escaped from its mouth and was inhaled by Wei Tanyi. In a very short moment, Wei Tanyi turned back to the tea table and drank a cup of tea.
Han Ruxu seemed to have just experienced some thrills. He relaxed and only felt sweating behind his back. He said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh?" Wei Tanyi, who was about to bend down to serve tea, and Wei Tan, who was about to beat his shoulders and prepare to go back to the backyard to rest, looked at him at the same time.
"I mean... what were you doing just now?"
Si Si suddenly smiled, as if she had heard something particularly ridiculous. She covered her mouth but couldn't hide her eyes and bent into crescents. Lord Han, what do you think we are doing? Wei Tanyi hooked the corners of his mouth and deliberately asked back.
Han Ruqi frowned: "How do I know?" Jing Si kept laughing. His face turned red to the root of his ears. Wei Tanyi raised his jaw and said, "Xing Si, don't laugh at Lord Han. He hasn't married yet, and he can't help but be young." Si Si nodded, but still smiled.
"Who is young!" Han Ruqi was angry, "You are obviously younger than me!"
"But Lord Han, I don't have as many thoughts as you. Doesn't this mean that although you are older than me, you are more young?" Wei Tanyi seemed to be determined not to be angry and he didn't stop. The more he talked, the more provocative he became.
Han Ruqi was about to rush up and punch the annoying face. Que Si came to stop him and said with a smile, "Lord Han misunderstood. Que Si and his master have their own crushes. How can they do that kind of thing inexplicably?"
"To talk about your confidant..." Wei Tanyi seemed to want to say something. After touching Han Ruxu's angry sight, he restrained a little and asked, "Qing Si, how is the prince you miss better than me?"
Qing Si smiled and said, "Naturally, it is thousands of times better than the master."
Han Ruqi was about to seize the opportunity to laugh, and then heard Wei Tanyi ask, "What if it is compared with Lord Han?"
"This... is naturally more than Lord Han."
"Hahaha..." This time, Wei Tanyi laughed, and Han Ruqi's face turned pale and she couldn't say a word.
Si Si apologized and bowed and said, "Lord Han, don't be angry. It's just a scholar of Mr. Yuci. Naturally, he appreciates his master more." Han Ruqi snorted and thought to his heart when this person would be angry.
Wei Tanyi seemed to hear some shocking content. After a long time, he asked, "... Mr. Yuci? What's that man's last name?
"Ji, Ji Yuci." I don't know what he thought, so she answered truthfully.
Ji Yuci!
Even in the dim candlelight, Han Ruxu could see that Wei Tanyi's expression suddenly became indescribably strange.
