Queen of flowers - chapter 181
After Su Mingjian and Ah Lan both retreated, Yong Ruo and Feng Liao continued to enjoy the cold while chatting, and drinking tea.
After a while, they heard a clear sound from the kitchen.
Yong Ruo smiled slightly and asked Feng Liao, “What kind of music is this?”
Feng Liao shook his head, “I haven’t heard it before. It may be a folk one from here.”
Yong Ruo nodded and exaggerated, “It’s very nice.”
She thought: Was Ah Lan playing the flute at this time to pass on some sort of secret signal to the man in the cellar?
That was what she expected.
It was a pity that they didn’t know the password they agreed on, naturally they couldn’t know what message she passed on.
She sat in a chair, leaning her head on Feng Liao’s shoulder, and closed her eyes to listen to the music.
Because the flute sounded good, Feng Liao didn’t let people stop Ah Lan, who played two songs.
Gradually when she stopped, Feng Liao asked Yong Ruo, who was leaning on his shoulder, “Do you still want to listen?”
If she still wanted to listen, he would send someone to ask Ah Lan to play two more songs.
Yong Ruo didn’t answer him, but leaned quietly on his shoulder.
Feng Liao turned his head and looked a little amused, “Sleepy?”
He shook his head, carefully holding Yong Ruo’s head, stood up, then carefully picked her up and walked toward the main room.
He placed Yong Ruo on the carved bed and was about to take off her shoes, but she trembled slightly, opened her eyes suddenly, and gasped.
“What’s wrong?” Feng Liao quickly sat on the edge of the bed, and asked gently, “Did you have a nightmare?”
Yong Ruo blinked, looked at him, and said a little ignorantly, “Why am I here? I remember we were enjoying the cold in the yard.”
Feng Liao laughed, finding her very cute.
He held her face, rubbed her smooth and delicate cheeks, and chuckled, “You fell asleep in the yard, so I carried you in.”
After speaking, he stepped back and pulled Yong Ruo out of the bed, “Since you are awake, get up and wash up, and then go back to bed!”
Yong Ruo started to bathe.
After bathing, she whispered to Feng Liao, “Let’s go quietly to find Master Su and Xu Taiyi! I have something to say.”
Feng Liao looked at her in amazement, “At this time?”
Yong Ruo nodded solemnly, “Yes, at this time.”
She couldn’t help but pull Feng Liao out of the house and went to the Dongxiang Room where Xu Taiyi and Xiao Guizi lived together. They also called Su Mingjian to the Dongxiang Room.
Everyone was there, and the guards were guarding the surroundings. Yong Ruo whispered to the others, “I fell asleep in the yard, and I had a nightmare.”
Xu Taiyi and Su Mingjian both stared at her with a shudder.
The thoughts in their hearts were almost the same: Whether you were napping or having a nightmare, just share it with Wang Ye. Was it necessary to call us?
Yong Ruo began to tell the story, “I dreamed of Ah Lan in the kitchen, blowing the flute, summoning a monster from under the bed in the main room!”
“The monster looked very sloppy, opened his mouth and swallowed Wang Ye into his stomach.”
“I screamed anxiously and wanted to save Wang Ye. But the monster blocked my meridians which made me unable to move. I could only watch as the monster ate Wang Ye after which it turned into a black smoke and retracted to the bottom of the bed again!”
“And then?” Su Mingjian and Xu Taiyi both felt that her dream was inauspicious, and her expression was a little disturbed, so they urged her to continue.
Feng Liao squeezed her hand and said very gently, “You were too worried about me because you had such a nightmare?
Yong Ruo shook her head, “What I wanted to talk about isn’t the nightmare.”
“After waking up from my nightmare, I had a thought. Today is the Mid-Yuan Festival, the legendary day when the ghost door is wide open. I just had a nap and had that dream, so what if it is an omen? So, I thought about it in another way.”
“When I was bathing just now, I thought about whether there was something weird in the main room. Maybe something isn’t as simple as it seems.”
Feng Liao, Su Mingjian, and Xu Taiyi all immediately focused their attention on her words and let Yong Ruo talk quickly.
Yong Ruo analyzed the speculation of the three roles of the anti-poem to Feng Liao and others.
Su Mingjian’s face changed greatly after listening.
He stood up and knelt down on one knee toward Feng Liao, “It’s Xiaguan’s duty. Today, he didn’t even inspect the room carefully. Please wait a while here, I’ll let Xiaguan take someone to search carefully.”
“Master Su, please wait!” Yong Ruo quickly stopped Su Mingjian, and hesitated slightly, “I have an idea, Wang Ye, listen.”
Su Mingjian stopped, turned to face Yong Ruo, and said respectfully, “Please speak, Furen!”
She shook her head, “I don’t dare to command but … these days, I always feel that something is wrong, and I want to take advantage of today’s event to verify some of my ideas …”
Had her suspicions been correct, things would have been a lot simpler.
