Chapter 21 Midnight Singing
Leaving the east wing, passing through a corridor, you came to the main courtyard where Mrs. Shen lived.
The strange thing is that as soon as I approached the main courtyard, I heard a faint babbling sound from inside. The voice was thin and long, echoing in the quiet courtyard in the middle of the night, which seemed very strange.
Reminiscent of Shen Junru's sudden death here not long ago, and the cause of death is strange, it is unavoidably creepy.
However, neither Duan Mingchen nor Gu Huaiqing believed in strange powers, and they were bold and skilled, so naturally they would not be intimidated by any strange sound.
Since Shen Junru died in the main house, although the body has been coffined now, the room is temporarily uninhabitable, so Xie Huilan packed up the side room to live in, and the strange noise came from the side room.
Duan Mingchen observed the terrain. The side house was no taller and stronger than the main house. The roof might not be able to bear the weight of the two of them. It was obviously not feasible to hide on the roof and eavesdrop.
Gu Huaiqing tugged at Duan Mingchen's sleeve, and then pointed to the back of the room. Duan Mingchen understood, and the two walked around to the back of the room, hiding under the rear window.There was only a gap of more than one foot between the rear window and the courtyard wall. In the narrow space, the two had to squeeze together.
Listening under the window, the voice from the room became louder, as if someone was singing in a low voice, the tone was somewhat familiar, Gu Huaiqing's complexion moved slightly, and he listened intently.
Duan Mingchen took a deep breath, straightened up slowly, stretched out a finger to pierce the window paper, and looked into the room through the small paper hole.
A brazier was burning in the room, making the room very warm.Mrs. Shen, Xie Huilan, was wearing heavy makeup and a gorgeous costume, with orchid fingers raised, sleeves flicked, and she sang softly and slowly.She looked focused and sang affectionately, appearing to be very involved in the drama.
Opposite her, Dongmei also had thick paint on her face, and she was wearing a costume, singing a duet with Xie Huilan's tune, but her movements were obviously a bit stiff, and her singing was not very smooth.
Duan Mingchen frowned as he watched the strange attire and behavior of the pair of master and servant.Xie Huilan had just lost her husband, but instead of mourning for her husband, she hid in her room with heavy makeup and bright clothes, and even sang operas with the maids in a leisurely manner.
Gu Huaiqing moved his head closer, and Duan Mingchen moved a little to the side, giving him the position of the paper hole.
Gu Huaiqing opened his phoenix eyes wide, stared at the room for a moment, turned his face after looking for a while, and saw Duan Mingchen's brows furrowed tightly, with a bewildered look on his face.
Duan Mingchen didn't know anything about opera, no wonder he felt puzzled.Gu Huaiqing smiled silently, and hooked his fingers towards Duan Mingchen.
Duan Mingchen was dazzled by Gu Huaiqing's smile, and couldn't help but move closer to him.
Gu Huaiqing put his lips to Duan Mingchen's ear, and whispered: "They are singing "Lian Xiang Companion", which is about..."
Duan Mingchen felt Gu Huaiqing's warm breath blowing against his ears, and a tingling sensation came from his back, and he couldn't help trembling slightly.This movement didn't matter, Gu Huaiqing's soft lips touched his ear, Duan Mingchen suddenly heard a loud bang in his head, his consciousness went blank, he couldn't even hear what Gu Huaiqing said.
Gu Huaiqing didn't have much self-awareness, the sky was dark, he couldn't see Duan Mingchen's face flushed like Guan Gong, he only felt Duan Mingchen's breathing suddenly became heavy and his body became stiff, he thought he had discovered something unusual.
At this moment, the situation in the room also changed. Dongmei stopped suddenly, and said with a guilty face: "Miss, I...I still can't do it. After practicing for so long, I still can't sing well..."
Xie Huilan seemed to have exhausted all her energy, she propped herself up on the table weakly, sighed faintly, and said, "I don't blame you, it's not your fault..."
"You are not her, no one can replace her..." Xie Huilan closed her eyes in pain, two lines of tears slowly fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Miss, don't be sad, be careful of hurting your body..." Dongmei's eyes were also red, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe Xie Huilan's tears.
Xie Huilan smiled sadly: "So what if I got hurt? My heart has long since died, and the one alive is just a walking corpse... I just don't feel relieved..."
Xie Huilan stopped, stared at the front with a pale face, remained silent for a while, then suddenly tossed her cloud sleeves, and began to chant to herself again.
Dongmei was powerless to dissuade her, and could only watch Xie Huilan's crazy behavior with a worried face.
Outside the house, Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing were also confused. In front of others, Xie Huilan was a dignified and virtuous lady, so how could she be so crazy in private?
Although I don't know what's on her mind, Xie Huilan's pale face, teary eyes, sad expression, and weeping singing voice... silently infected the surroundings, and a feeling of despair spread. Open, oppressive and heavy, breathless.

Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing left the main house full of doubts and went to Miss Shen's west wing.
The entire Shen mansion is built with carved buildings and jade, rich and luxurious, but in terms of elegance and refinement, it is still the west wing where Shen Yichan lives, from which it can be seen the status of Shen Yichan as the concubine of the Shen mansion.
The roof of the West Wing is covered with glazed tiles, which are very smooth. Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing carefully lay down on it, lifted a piece of glazed tiles and looked into the room.
Since they had glimpsed strange scenes in the first two places, the two of them were already mentally prepared, but when they saw Shen Yichan's makeup clearly, they were still taken aback.
This alluring Miss Shen wears a crown of golden threads, a golden phoenix hairpin with pearls inserted in it, and a red palace brocade gown. She looks like a newlywed.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, she twisted a plum blossom-shaped flower with her slender hands, breathed lightly on her lips, and stuck it between her eyebrows. Looking at the impeccable and perfect makeup in the mirror, Shen Yichan showed a satisfied smile.
There was no sorrow for the loss of her father in her bright eyes, but a yearning for happiness, as if her beloved was about to come to marry her.
Sitting in a daze for a while, Shen Yichan stood up, walked to the desk, unfolded a piece of rice paper, dipped the brush in ink, and walked quickly with the brush, actually starting to paint.
Shen Yichan is indeed worthy of the name of a talented woman, I saw that she writes lightly, flamboyantly, and completes a painting in a short time.
Shen Yichan stood in front of the picture scroll, staring at the person in the picture bewilderedly, her eyes were full, her pretty face was slightly red.
Since the desk is on the other side of the room, far away from the hiding place, Duan Mingchen can only vaguely see that the painting seems to be a man in military uniform, but the face is not clear. .
What Gu Huaiqing could see was similar, he was anxious and wanted to move to the other side of the roof to see the real thing.Unexpectedly, the glazed tiles were already smooth, and with the addition of a layer of fog at night, it became even more slippery. Gu Huaiqing accidentally slipped on the soles of his feet, and suddenly lost his footing. In desperation, he stepped on a tile and made a crisp sound.
In the dead of night, this slight sound was very clear, enough to wake up the people in the room, Shen Yichan quickly closed the scroll, and shouted: "Who is there outside?"
Xia He, who was resting outside, heard Shen Yichan's voice, immediately ran in and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"I heard a strange sound, there seems to be someone outside." Shen Yichan told Xia He, "Go outside and have a look."
Xia He responded, put on her coat, and walked out of the house with a lantern.
Gu Huaiqing accidentally exposed Xingzang, and was very annoyed in his heart. According to his temperament, he wished to break in directly and snatch the painting to see what happened.
However, Duan Mingchen couldn't let him do whatever he wanted. It was already a big taboo for them to spy on unmarried women's boudoirs.Daqi has strict etiquette, especially for men and women, even eunuchs like Gu Huaiqing can only visit the house with the woman's permission, private peeping is absolutely not allowed.
Besides, Shen Yichan's identity is aloof. As the top ten beauties in the capital, she is brilliant and famous, and has a very good reputation in the circle of noble girls in the capital.Her father, Shen Shoufu, had a high position and authority, and had disciples all over the world. He had only one daughter under his knees. Now his body is still alive. Before the murderer is found out, no one can bully his daughter at will, otherwise he will be an enemy of the world's scholars.
So Duan Mingchen quickly pulled Gu Huaiqing, slipped down the roof quietly, and hid on the big locust tree in the yard, hiding among the dense branches and leaves.
Xia He walked around the yard, found no suspicious signs, raised the lantern to shine on the roof and the wall, and saw no one, so she said to Shen Yichan: "Miss, did you hear wrong? There is no one outside. man!"
"But I really heard a sound from the roof." Shen Yichan said with certainty.
"Maybe... it's a mouse running on the roof." Xia He said.
"Really?" Shen Yichan was skeptical, and asked Xia He to search carefully again, but still found nothing, so she could only give up.
After Shen Yichan's master and servant returned to the room, Duan Mingchen was sure that there was no problem, then Duan Mingchen gave Gu Huaiqing a wink, and the two flew down the tree, over the wall, and left Shen's residence.
After walking through two streets and leaving the territory of Shen's residence, Gu Huaiqing tore off the black scarf, and took off the night clothes outside, revealing the straight embroidered green clothes underneath.
Duan Mingchen did the same, took off his night clothes, and followed Gu Huaiqing slowly, with his head lowered and his chin resting, thinking about what he saw just now.
Gu Huaiqing raised his head and took a deep breath. The cool night air pierced through his chest, making him feel refreshed and proud.
Gu Huaiqing suddenly looked back and smiled, "Hey, let's go to the bar!"
Duan Mingchen looked up at the sky. It was already midnight when the moon was in the middle of the sky. He asked in surprise, "Don't you need to go back to the palace today?"
"Well, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements." Gu Huaiqing raised his chin arrogantly, "If you are a man, don't let your mother-in-law go. Are you going or not?"
"It's okay to go, but it's midnight now, and the tavern has already closed."
Gu Huaiqing squinted her phoenix eyes and said with a smile: "Master Duan deceived me! In some places, the more exciting the night, the more exciting it is?"
Duan Mingchen glanced at Gu Huaiqing expressionlessly, and walked forward without saying a word.
"Hey, where are you going?" Gu Huaiqing shouted behind him.
"Aren't you looking for a place to drink that gets more exciting at night? Let's go!"
Duan Mingchen walked forward without turning his head, when he heard a gust of wind behind him, Gu Huaiqing followed.
The strange thing is that as soon as I approached the main courtyard, I heard a faint babbling sound from inside. The voice was thin and long, echoing in the quiet courtyard in the middle of the night, which seemed very strange.
