The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

As night falls, everything is silent.

Before taking a bath, Xie Yaoqing casually took off the cinnabar bracelet she had obtained from Puhua Temple during the day and placed it on the dressing table. However, when she finished bathing, she forgot to put the bracelet back on.

That night, Xie Yaoqing had a nightmare.

It can't be completely considered a nightmare. This dream is different from the last one. This time, Xie Yaoqing can at least move freely and no longer feel restrained, but she is still trapped in that strange and closed space and cannot leave.

Xie Yaoqing paced back and forth in the room, trying to find the exit, but she couldn't leave no matter what. Finally, she gave up, sat on a chair, picked up the treasures and antiques around her and started playing with them.

Suddenly, a burst of light footsteps was heard. Xie Yaoqing's heart tightened. She remembered the icy hand that had touched her before, and immediately hid behind the screen.

Just as she hid herself, the door slowly opened and heavy footsteps approached.

After a while, Xie Yaoqing was really curious about the identity of the person who came, so he poked his head out from behind the screen and looked carefully, but everything in front of him was blurry and he couldn't see anything clearly.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to see more clearly, but to no avail.

In the midst of silence, another very subtle sound suddenly rang out. The sound was extremely quiet. If Xie Yaoqing had not been paying full attention to the situation, he would probably not have heard it and it would have been easily overlooked.

What is this sound?

Xie Yaoqing was confused and frowned.

She listened carefully, but found that the sound was intermittent and unclear.

Xie Yaoqing frowned, unable to remember what would make such a sound. It was not very pleasant to listen to, and even made his hair stand on end. A chill suddenly jumped from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making his scalp numb.

When I woke up again, it was already bright daylight.

The sunlight shines through the window into the room, bright and warm.

Xie Yaoqing slowly opened his eyes, only to feel dizzy and weak all over.

She touched her forehead and found that she was sweating and her clothes were soaked.

She sat up, looking pale and listless. Although she did get some sleep, she felt more tired than if she hadn't slept at all.

Xie Yichen noticed that Xie Yaoqing was only wearing a white jade bracelet, and his brows immediately frowned: "Where is the cinnabar bracelet blessed by the monk? Why don't I see you wearing it?"

He seemed to really believe in Puhua Temple, and believed that the cinnabar bracelets blessed by eminent monks could ward off evil and disasters. Not only that, he also brought back a lot of amulets and other things from Puhua Temple and distributed one to everyone in the family.

Xie Yaoqing was stunned for a moment, then asked Zhiyu to get the cinnabar bracelet for her. Under Xie Yichen's burning gaze, she put the bracelet back on her hand.

"That's right. Now that you have asked for it, you must wear it often. Otherwise, it won't work. I think you have collided with something, so your luck is not good this year." Xie Yichen said in a very sure tone.

Xie Yaoqing twitched the corner of his mouth and agreed: "Maybe."

It wouldn't be a big deal to wear one more bracelet, and Xie Yaoqing was too lazy to argue any more. Although she was skeptical, she couldn't resist her third brother's belief, and it was for her own good, so Xie Yaoqing naturally couldn't go against Xie Yichen, otherwise why would she have gone to Puhua Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha yesterday.

She stayed in the mansion for half a month. No one from the palace came, so Xie Yaoqing enjoyed the quietness. She slept until she woke up naturally every day. During the day, she wrote and drew in the yard, or went out for a stroll to see if she could encounter any interesting things. When her nephew and niece were around, she would play with them. Her life was leisurely and comfortable.

One night, when Xie Yaoqing was about to go to bed after washing up, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from outside. She immediately became alert, wondering if there was a thief in the mansion.

Which thief is so bold as to steal things in the marquis's mansion?

Xie Yaoqing quietly took out a dagger, held it tightly in his hand, and then listened attentively, trying to find out what was going on outside.

It sounded like someone was prying the door or opening the window, and Xie Yaoqing's heart suddenly tightened.

In a moment, the window was opened from the outside and a dark shadow flashed in.

Xie Yaoqing's eyes flashed and his heartbeat accelerated instantly. Without thinking too much, he immediately jumped up from the bed, holding a dagger, and stabbed at the black shadow.

Her goal was very clear, which was to make this uninvited guest stay forever and let him know that the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion was not a place where one could steal casually. Anyone who dared to steal things from the Marquis' Mansion must be very brave, and must be a notorious thief.

With the dim moonlight pouring in from the window, when Xie Yaoqing's sword was about to pierce the person, she finally saw who it was. She quickly withdrew her strength and quickly stepped back a few steps to stand still. Her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked suspicious, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
