A piece of Japanese incense

I returned to the girls' school alone, and Zhi Siqi was wandering in front of the gate.

"Xiao Qi?"

He ran towards me, "With sister!"

"You are here... aren't you waiting for me?"

He nodded, but seemed a little hesitant, and said weakly: "With my sister, not me..."

"What the hell?"

"You sneaked off to Wenyuan Pavilion and knew about Brother Xu, it wasn't me! I only found out about this after I returned to the palace, and I hurried over to explain it to you. I didn't tell anyone else except my father!"

I patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Oh! I don't care, don't worry!"

"Don't be sad, sister, father..."

"It's okay! Even if Daddy pursues the matter, it has nothing to do with you. I will explain it to him. I'll go in first."

"no!"

I took back my foot that had just stepped over the threshold and turned to look at him.

"I was afraid that you must be feeling bad, so I came to see you. I was afraid that you were being scolded by your father and were in a bad mood..." He lowered his head and picked at the hangnails on his fingers.

"Oh! Stop picking at your nails! Look at your nails, they've all been bitten off! You can't tear off these barbs. Look, there's blood all over them, can't you see?"

He put his hands behind his back and kept his head down.

"Come with me, I'll get you a bottle of hand cream."

He waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, I have to go back to the palace."

"You are my brother! What are you afraid of? Who dares to talk about you? Come on, I'll take you in to see the show~" I waved at him with a smile.

His eyelashes trembled, he took a deep breath, and stepped into the girls' school with me.

"We brought that from home. How can you take it away? Let go!"

Yu Yi's voice came from afar, and I shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop now!"

He took two quick steps and entered the yard. Fang Juexia and Ye Shi were leading a group of people, busy in the yard, each of them carrying a variety of furniture.

"Girl! They come in without any reason and rob like bandits!" Yuyi ran behind me and accused angrily.

"You were so brave just now." I gave Yuyi a thumbs up, tidied up the hair on my temples, and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here."

Fang Juexia raised his chin, bowed slightly and said, "Master Siqi! Are you here to support your so-called sister?"

"What are you doing?" Zhi Siqi asked puzzledly.

"Princess Yan asked us to come here to take back the items given to Zhi Yihe." Ye Shi stepped forward and answered first.

"Sister Fang, Sister Ye, it's not that I don't want you to take them, but I've been suffering from an infectious disease lately, and I'm worried about infecting you with these things."

"Tsk! Stop your mischief! Don't stop, move all the big items away. Even if you throw away the small items, don't leave them for her!" Fang Juexia glared at me with a sharp look.

"These are not rewards from the Imperial Concubine. We brought them in from outside the palace..." Yu Yi pulled a maid to stop her from leaving.

"Stop it, all of you! I'm going to find mother right now. No one of you is allowed to take my sister's things." Zhi Siqi's eyes were firm, with fine red bloodshot in them. After he finished speaking loudly, he coughed violently a few times, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, his lips trembled violently, and his face was pale.

Fang Juexia took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose with it in disgust, and looked towards Zhi Siqi: "Sir, you should worry about your own health. For so many years, the princess has devoted all her heart to you. Don't damage your health for this insignificant sister. It's not worth it."

"That's right." Ye Shi stood behind Fang Juexia, imitating her movements, covering his cheeks with his hands, and echoing her.

I walked into the room, took out the bamboo tube and stuffed it into my boots, then found a cloak from the closet. I wanted to get another chair, but found that the room was empty.

I sighed, went to the yard, snatched a chair from a palace maid, found a flat open space, and let Zhi Siqi sit down.

She comforted him quietly, "Why are you so excited? I told you that I asked you to watch the show, why did you act it out yourself?"

He coughed a few more times, frowned, bit his cheek, and said worriedly: "I originally wanted to ..."

She put a cape around him and said with a gentle smile, "It's okay. Sit here for a while."

Then he forced a smile and said to Fang Juexia, "If you want to take it, go ahead. You already have all the bugs in your yard, so you don't need to worry about this."

"What...what bug?" Ye Shi raised her index finger, took a half step back, widened her eyes, and looked at Fang Juexia in horror.

"What bug? What are you talking about?"

"It's the toon midge," I turned up my collar and sleeves to show her the rash on my body. People gathered around to watch, and I continued, "I went out of the palace to worship my ancestors before, and I was covered with toon midges, and I got a rash all over my body. My mother and the others didn't understand, so they just shook and patted. Who would have known that these insects have strong reproductive capacity, and there are more and more of them, and they are everywhere. I'm afraid that now they are everywhere in the courtyard, in these vases and boxes, and they may have spread."

After hearing this, some people threw the things in their hands to the ground.

"What does this have to do with me?" Fang Juexia asked loudly.

"I think this bug prefers damp and hot weather. Sister Fang always has a charcoal stove in her yard, and there is also a small pond with rippling green water. I think this is also a breeding ground for this little bug."

"You're talking nonsense! The palace has been carrying out insect expulsion every ten days, so where did this filth you mentioned come from? Moreover, you dare to mention the pond! It's all your fault! The water in the pond in my yard is still muddy! It's spring now, and they haven't even put in any fish fry!" Fang Juexia pointed his index finger at my nose and spoke harshly.

I looked at Yuyi in confusion, our eyes met: (According to what she said, was it because her acting was too good, or was it really irrelevant to the matter?)

Yu Yi hammered his palm, shrugged, and pouted to indicate that he didn't know.

Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief, remaining calm and nonchalant, saying casually, "It's just a small bug. Go back and light some incense and it will be completely disinfected. Wan Lian, take the dressing mirror and jewelry box."

I stood in front of her and sneered, "That's true~ But, according to my grandfather, these insects lay eggs very quickly, hundreds or even thousands of them at a time. Take that mirror, for example, even though I wiped it off after seeing it in the morning, there's only a little trace and they can build a new nest, and produce another one in a moment, and their descendants will be endless~" I shook my head and spoke nonsense.

Wan Lian screamed "Ah", threw the bronze mirror away, jumped and waved his arms.

I continued seriously, "Also, this bug is contagious!" I pointed at Yuyi and said, "She just went home to rest for two days. She just came into the palace with me yesterday. She complained of itching this morning, right?" I looked at Yuyi.

"Yeah! Yu Tuan is the same! There's a patch on his back!" Yu Yi hurriedly pretended to scratch his back.

I turned to Fang Juexia. She seemed to be really fooled by me. She hugged her arms and rubbed them up and down.
