Chapter 340 What happened?

Isn’t the late emperor dead?

Jiujiu felt cold all over. She turned around and looked behind her for confirmation, but there was nothing behind her. Where was the late emperor that the old man mentioned?

Is it a ghost?

Zhou Wenchuan was also shocked.

This Uncle Hou is not crazy. He is normal, mentally clear, and not blind. He never talks nonsense, seeks popularity, or annoys people.

He would occasionally give him guidance on his homework and writing. He was just a normal person, as normal as could be.

Everything was fine today, why did he say that the late emperor was here?

Zhou Wenchuan's Adam's apple rolled a few times nervously and he swallowed. He followed Jiujiu and looked behind him a few times, but saw nothing.

He only saw Jiujiu looking pale and uneasy.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jiujiu to protect her.

Although he is only fifteen years old this year, he is very tall and has broad shoulders. At the moment, he is protecting Jiujiu and looks very safe.

"What's that smell?" Jiujiu could vaguely smell a faint fragrance, but it was very faint and difficult to detect. The fragrance was also very strange, not the kind of fragrance she usually smelled.

Zhou Wenchuan didn't smell anything. He said blankly, "There is no smell!"

"Oh." Jiujiu sniffed again, and the smell seemed to be gone.

The Lord Hou in front of them, Hou Ruo'an, was about to kneel down to receive the emperor, but he didn't. He murmured, "Why is the late emperor gone?"

“It was right here!”

Hou Ruo'an rubbed his eyes and looked again, but still didn't see it. He sighed with regret and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong just now."

And at this moment, Jiujiu suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Jiujiu's heart tightened instantly.

"Jiujiu, Jiujiu..." Jiujiu saw Dijiang. Dijiang was standing in front of her with a normal face. There was no sign of poisoning or injury at all. He was still calling her name.

"Brother Dijiang, are you okay?" Jiujiu excitedly ran to Dijiang in front of her and wanted to hold Dijiang's hand, but she couldn't pull anything.

"Ms. Yanyue, who are you calling? Who did you see?" Zhou Wenchuan behind Jiujiu asked anxiously.

There is nothing in front of Miss Yanyue?

There is no one.

Zhou Wenchuan was a little worried about Jiujiu. He patted Jiujiu's shoulder with a serious look and reminded her, "There's no one in front of you."

After Jiujiu felt the strength on his shoulder, he turned his head to look at Zhou Wenchuan, then looked at the person in front of him.

There was indeed no one in front of me.

Brother Dijiang suddenly disappeared.

Jiujiu rubbed her eyes in disbelief and looked again, and it was indeed gone.

"Brother Wen, how come you have time to come and see your uncle Hou today?"

"And you brought a girl?"

Hou Ruoan glanced at Jiujiu. In response to Jiujiu's strange reaction, he just narrowed his eyes, not surprised at all, and didn't say anything.

"I'm here to ask you for a favor." Zhou Wenchuan suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and said politely.

It is important to do the main thing and then look into other things later.

"What can I do for you? Come in, sit down and talk slowly."

"Uncle Hou will go get you some tea."

Hou Ruoan said as he went to make tea. After a while, he came back with a fine purple clay teapot in his hand and poured a cup of tea for Jiujiu and Zhou Wenchuan each.

The tea soup is steaming and the fragrance of tea is everywhere.

Hou Ruoan loved drinking tea the most in his life, so the teapot and tea leaves he used were all of the best, so good that they were incompatible with his thatched cottage.

When Jiujiu picked up the teacup, she saw Dijiang again. At this moment, Dijiang was standing beside her, looking at her with affection.

"Brother Dijiang."

Jiujiu looked at the familiar figure in front of her, and remembered what Zhou Wenchuan had just said that there was no one in front of her. She panicked and the teacup in her hand slipped to the ground.

The scalding hot tea accidentally poured onto her skirt, scalding a spot on her thigh that was burning hot.

But she didn't care. She reached out to grab Dijiang, but Dijiang disappeared again.

Jiujiu took a breath uneasily, and ran out in a panic, running towards where they were staying to see Dijiang.

Jiujiu was thinking all along the way, did something happen to Brother Dijiang? That's why she kept seeing Brother Dijiang.

But after returning, she saw that Brother Dijiang was lying in bed, sleeping soundly, with a normal body temperature. His pulse seemed a little heavy, weak, and floating due to the poisoning, but it was normal. After the poison was detoxified, it would return to normal without any impact.

He's fine, he's safe.

Then why did she keep seeing Brother Dijiang just now?

Chu Yang was also shocked when he saw Jiu Jiu coming back with a pale face, "Princess, what happened? Tell Chu Yang, Chu Yang will help you."

Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Chu Yang was afraid that Jiu Jiu would be bullied if she went out alone to do things.

"It's okay." Jiujiu took a deep breath and said, "Keep an eye on Brother Dijiang. If anything happens to Brother Dijiang, report to me immediately."

"good."

Jiujiu came to Hou Ruoan's house again.

At this moment, Zhou Wenchuan was at the door of Hou Ruoan's house, walking back and forth anxiously, as if he was worried about Jiujiu who suddenly ran out and disappeared.

When he saw Jiujiu coming back, his eyes lit up and he hurried to greet her.

"Miss Yanyue, why did you suddenly run out just now?"

"But what's the emergency?" he was worried.

Zhou Wenchuan's face was full of anxiety.

Jiujiu waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I just felt uncomfortable in my stomach and went out to relieve myself."

Jiujiu said this and entered Lord Hou's house again. She roughly understood what had happened just now.

There must be something in this house that can cause hallucinations.

And the scene that people desire most in their hearts will be transformed and appear before them.

Jiujiu looked for the thing and looked around, but there was nothing particularly unusual in the house.

So what is it?

After thinking for a long time, Jiujiu remembered the faint strange fragrance he smelled when he first entered the door.

After she smelled it, she had hallucinations. Zhou Wenchuan didn't smell it, so he didn't have hallucinations and was awake.

When Jiujiu thought of this, her attention was attracted by an incense burner by the window. She walked to the incense burner to check, but the incense in the burner had burned out.

What she just smelled seemed to be the last lingering fragrance.

At this time, Hou Ruoan came over and asked, "Girl, what are you looking at?"

"Is there something wrong with my incense burner?"

Jiujiu took off the lid of the incense burner, leaned over and smelled it. The smell she smelled was even stronger now, and her consciousness suddenly became a little unclear. She was in a trance for a moment.

Yes, that’s the kind of fragrance.

A strange aroma that can cause hallucinations.

Jiujiu put down the lid and looked at Hou Ruo'an and asked, "Master Hou, why do you want to light this kind of hallucinogenic incense?"

"What's the purpose?"
