It was midnight.
The whole Shouning hall was silent. Late at night, the windbreaker blew, and the spells floated one by one, making a rustling sound, which looked more desolate than before.
Taoist priest Qingyun did this today, and the Empress Dowager's spirit was much better. She also took out a lot of silver and jewelry to reward the people around her.
Sunflower and Baohua waited on the Empress Dowager. In the second half of the night, they changed with the other two and were ready to go back to rest.
These two people are also suffering from mental torture these two days, because as soon as they relax, they feel tired and yawn constantly.
When they passed a corner, suddenly, a white shadow came down from the wall, making a meow sound, and then ran into the trees and disappeared.
The two men immediately stepped back and looked pale, "cat? White, white cat? " Sunflower was surprised. Baohua quickly covered her mouth and said, "no, don't say it. The Empress Dowager has been so angry because of these cats these days that even the people who were so favored by Miss Xie have been driven away. Today, Taoist priest Qingyun came. The Empress Dowager also went to bed earlier today. We don't care about seeing the white cat
I'm going to say it again. "
"Well, what about that?" Sunflower said with a trembling voice.
"Let's go find it, catch it and throw it out!" Baohua said.
"OK..." sunflower cheered up. "You said, there hasn't been a cat in the palace for a long time. How can it appear one after another? Always feel weird. "
"Don't guess so much. Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth. We just need to do our part. Don't tell anyone who sees the cat!" Baohua told me.
The two men walked towards the bushes together.
"Meow......" Baohua whispered to learn the sound of the cat, but she called a few times and didn't get a response.
Sunflower plucked up her courage and looked through the trees. The cat had disappeared.
"It's gone! What shall we do? " Sunflower said.
"It's gone. Let's forget it. Quan didn't see anything. Let's go and look for it during the day tomorrow to see if there's anything cats like to eat. Otherwise, how can they run this way?" Baohua said.
"Yes!"
The two maids left together.
On that day, the Empress Dowager slept until dawn and had no dream all night. She finally showed a smile on her face and talked with the people, "the mourning family really didn't read Taoist Qingyun wrong. The mourning family had no dream all night. Today, she is in a good spirit. When I think of it, the mourning family hasn't gone out for a walk for several times."
Sunflower and Baohua couldn't help looking at each other secretly.
After the Empress Dowager and Duke Lu and others went for a walk in the imperial garden, the two sisters quickly walked to the place where they met the cat the night before, and searched carefully for it several times. However, they found no trace of the white cat or anything that could attract the cat to drill here.
"Sister, what should I do?" Sunflower said.
"I just hope I passed by occasionally last night and don't come again tonight." Baohua folded her hands and prayed.
"Yes, yes, white cat, white cat, don't come again. Let me wait for the slave to live a safe life for a few days." Sunflower also hurriedly folded her hands and said.
The two sisters went back as if nothing had happened.

Xie family.
Xie Jinran sat in front of the bronze mirror, with an obvious scar on her forehead, stabbed on her shoulder, wrapped in white cloth, and her face was pale. Looking at herself in the mirror, she closed her eyes deeply.
I don't know what your highness Ba did. The Empress Dowager released her today.
Her uneasy heart was finally relieved. She didn't have to die, but her future was gone. Now she has become a laughing stock in the palace and in Kyoto.
"No, no, really nothing." Tears fell down my cheeks. "I spent so much effort to get to this step, but now I have nothing“
She reached out and touched the scar on her forehead, "Shuyan! Where's the doctor? Where has the doctor gone? " She clung to her handkerchief, but there was a pain in her shoulder.
Shu Yan hurriedly came in with an ugly face and said, "two, two Miss, the doctor has come, but..."
"But what?"
"The second lady stopped her and said she was not feeling well. She asked the doctor to go to her first. She said that the second lady was just a skin wound. There was no need to bully the doctor all day." Shu Yan said.
"What... Second aunt, how dare she... Does grandpa know? Don't you talk about her? " Xie Jinran said angrily.
"Master, master knows, but he didn't say anything about the second lady." Shu Yan said.
"Ha ha..." Xie Jinran smiled. "My young lady just lost the favor of the Empress Dowager for the time being and will make a comeback one day. These people can't wait to show their deceptive faces. When I was in favor, my second aunt was the most flattering one."
Now, the face has become too fast,
"This time, you have not temporarily lost the favor of the Empress Dowager!" At this time, a dignified and angry voice came.
Xie Jinran looked back and saw his grandfather coming in with an angry face.
"Grandpa." Xie Jinran stood up and bowed to call“ Your father's official position has been demoted, and I have been dismissed. You are not the quasi Yu princess. The current situation of our Xie family is worse than that before you entered the palace. Several adults who made friends with me originally made an appointment to play chess today, but they made excuses for not coming. You don't understand what happened
Did you find anything? You are out of favor, but it is impossible to regain your favor. Our Xie family has also become the object of avoidance. " Master Xie frowned and said coldly.
Xie Jinran trembled slightly in his heart. His grandfather's tone was afraid that she didn't even have a place in the Xie family.
This time, I really lost so thoroughly!
Seeing his grandfather leave angrily, Xie Jinran was weak all over and sat down at the head of the bed, lying on the pillow, clenched his teeth and shed tears.
"Second lady, doctor Cai from Kyoto is here." Yin'er said at the door.
"Dr. Cai?" Xie Jinran showed a trace of doubt at the bottom of his eyes, "which doctor CAI."
"Madam didn't want the second lady to be angry with the second lady. She went to the doctor herself." Yin'er said.
"Let him in." Xie Jinran said.
After a while, he saw a doctor come in, followed by a medicine boy, carrying the doctor's medicine box.
"Second lady..." Dr. Cai came in and bowed, "I heard Mrs. Xie say that the second lady was hurt and was afraid of leaving scars on her face. I'll take a look for the second lady."
Xie Jinran took away his hand on his forehead. Doctor Cai looked around. When people didn't pay attention, the medicine boy stuffed a note into Xie Jinran's hand. Xie Jinran was stunned,
