"... A'Du?"

"..."

Such a thing as silence turns out to have sound.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world is like the ebbing sea water, disappearing from the horizon in an instant. After all the noise dissipates, the only thing left is the sound of the beating heart in my body.

The blank silence squeezed the eardrums, and one's breath and breath could be heard clearly.

She suddenly realized that the two of them were too close. She didn't think of anything when she stretched out her hand. Setsuna acted entirely on instinct. Now she suddenly met the sober King Ma Cang Ye, and she seemed to be stared at by the other party. As if his reflection was scalded, he withdrew his hand all of a sudden.

...It's broken, does the other party feel that she has crossed the line?

Oops, is she going to be kicked out to sleep on the streets tonight? ?

Before she could figure out how to apologize, the pale-faced person sat up and made a seal with one hand. The barrier surrounding the imperial tent suddenly shattered, and the hungry ghost who had pounced on the barrier let out a terrible cry. There was a cry, a puff, like a moth flying into a flame, and it all turned into pitch-black ashes in an instant.

Ashes fell rustlingly, blown by the cold night wind, the candles flickered slightly in the darkness, and the extinguished lights lit up again, gradually connecting the corridors of the mansion.

That scene, as if the power outage building was suddenly re-energized, made her stunned for a while.

In just a few breaths, the densely packed hungry ghosts dispersed, and the huge mansion returned to normal again.

If she walked out now, she was sure that the barrier covering the mansion should also be lifted.

The light of the candle dispelled the darkness and cast a warm orange halo on the ground. She looked at King Ma Cang Ye, and found that his eyes fell on the ground next to the imperial tent.

Lying there was the candlestick that she used to violently beat ghosts before. The long metal handle was deeply sunken and folded into a strange angle that could no longer be used.

"..." She can explain it, she really can explain it!

There was a chuckle from her side, she raised her head, and found that the other party didn't seem to blame her, her shoulders relaxed slightly, Ma Cang Yewang's face was still pale, but it was much better than what she saw just now.

He lowered his eyelids slightly: "I made you laugh tonight."

The long black hair that was wet with sweat was slightly disheveled, but his aura had returned to calm, and the pain that seemed to be scorched by the flames of hell had disappeared. If you just look at the calm expression of Ma Cangye Wang , she couldn't help but suspect that the painful person before was just an illusion she saw.

When she came back to her senses, she had already touched the other person's forehead with the back of her hand.

—Warm, not hot.

It seemed that what she touched before was really just an illusion that would disappear at the touch of a touch.

King Ma Cang Ye seemed to freeze, neither of them expected her sudden action, and by the time she realized that she had made the same mistake for the second time tonight, it was too late.

A big mistake has been made, and after a moment of silence, she could only retract her hand tremblingly. She hadn't controlled the movement of retracting her hand well, and her curled fingers accidentally touched the opponent's eyelashes.

"..."

This hand seems to be out of reach.

She is leaving this planet overnight tonight.

But... in heaven, this man's eyelashes are really long.

Her dignity as a woman has been severely battered, and to be honest, she seems to have suffered a bit more recently.

She was hugging her head in her heart, when suddenly there was a furry touch on her hand, the stock sect came around at some point, it sniffed King Ma Cangye's fingers, then raised its head to look at him, its tail was like an uncertain question mark, Hesitantly stopped in mid-air.

... Hey, did she get rubbed just now?

Although it was only a brief moment, did she get rubbed by the cat?

Her mind wandered.

"I'm fine." Ma Cang Ye Wang stretched out his finger and gently scratched Gu Zong's chin, "Sorry for worrying you."

The stock sect's tail stood up again.

It barked very terribly before, and it was the first time that a cat that was usually quiet was acting so crazy. If she hadn't heard the cry of Gu Zong, she wouldn't have been so bold to directly break into the main room of the bedroom.

Now that everything was back in place, Ma Nu hurried in and knelt down as soon as her knees were bent.

"Master Ye Wang..."

"That's enough, Ma Nu." Ma Cang Yewang interrupted Shikigami's unfinished words.

She realized that there was nothing for her to do here now, and the sweat-soaked pajamas were draped wetly on King Ma Cangye. She couldn't follow him when he was going to take a bath and change clothes. What Late did was enough to cross the line.

Ma Nu looked at her, the expression on her face faltered, but she didn't say anything in the end.

She returned to her bedroom and covered her head with a quilt.

... Human curiosity is a dangerous thing.

Why there are so many ghosts that appear out of nowhere in the mansion of Great Onmyoji Master Ma Cangye, this matter has nothing to do with her, and it is not her business.

In this world, who doesn't have so many secrets that can't be seen.

She rolled over in the dark and safety of her bed.

There was still a strange heat in the palm of her hand, and at that moment, it seemed that what she touched was not the body of a living person, but the carrier of pain itself.

She knew that at that moment she had glimpsed a corner of some unspeakable darkness.

Even if it's just for a brief moment...

She took her hand and slowly closed her eyes.

If the other party doesn't want to talk, then she won't ask.

She will not ask, nor will she pry.

The other party's secret has nothing to do with her.

Tonight is just a normal night...

She let consciousness fall into a dream.

When the drowsy consciousness became clear again, it was already bright outside the window.

She dazedly reached out to the side of the pillow, but didn't touch the familiar metal shell of the phone, recalled where she was, and immediately woke up.

There are still ten days before the next full moon, and she hasn't figured out what to do today. She washes and changes clothes in a leisurely manner, ignoring many precautions for getting up every morning in the Heian era—such as brushing her teeth when she should face In which direction, where should you start when tying your belt.

Such taboos are extremely complicated. It is said that when an official goes to court, if he encounters an animal corpse on the road, he can go back home immediately. As long as it is for avoidance, everyone including His Majesty the Emperor will understand your sudden absence from work.

When she walked into the hall yawning and found King Ma Cang Ye who was still sitting in the hall long after working hours, she stopped in the middle of her yawn.

King Ma Cang Ye holds an important position, he is not only the head of Yin Yang Liao, but also the doctor Zuo Jing who is in charge of public security in the capital.

Dr. Zuo Jing is the official position from the fourth, and the official positions from the fifth to the top are said to be appointed by the emperor himself.

Ma Nu had popularized science with her. The name Ma Cang Ye Wang and his current official position were both bestowed by the previous generation of Emperor His Majesty himself.This lord went to Hexi three years ago, and the youngest son left behind became the new emperor. It is said that he is only... seven years old now?

In short, the government affairs are currently controlled by the Fujiwara family. The young emperor is not yet full-fledged, and he may not be full-fledged in the future. The courtiers all look to Fujiwara as their leader—except for King Asakura, who is rather strange, so he doesn't count.

In this era where everything is hereditary, he is obviously not from aristocratic background, but he is favored by the previous emperor, and his position in the court is very delicate.

Ma Nu diligently talked to her about science for a long time, but she still didn't remember the names of those important officials in the court, but only remembered a few prominent surnames, such as the ones that King Ma Cang Ye met when he brought her into the palace. Zhong Nayan seems to belong to the Fujiwara family.

She put down her yawning hand, tried to readjust her expression, and was about to step into the hall.

"A'Du."

Look, she must have overslept today. She slept so much that she had auditory hallucinations.

"Can't I call you that?" King Ma Cang Ye raised his eyes to look at her.

"...No, how come, it's just a name."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, thinking that he had already called her by her first name. If she insisted on using the honorific title to him, would it appear that she was deliberately keeping the distance between the two of them too far apart?

She hesitated, and tentatively asked in a low voice: "...King Ye?"

Without the panic of last night, these two syllables were clearly rubbed between the lips and teeth.

It's obviously just a simple name, but something like language seems to make a difference after it's spoken.

There are similar legends in ancient civilizations. When walking at night, if an unfamiliar voice calls your name, you must not respond at this time. It seems that as long as you don’t speak, you will not be spoken by that indescribable thing. bondage.

King Ma Cang Ye smiled and said, "I haven't thanked you for what happened last night."

She didn't seem to mind her faux pas last night.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "I actually didn't help much."

Ma Cangye Wang was noncommittal: "You seemed a little surprised to see me just now."

"I thought you were gone."

She didn't expect that she would be caught by the other party when she slept until the sun was high today.

She buried herself in the soup.

"I asked for a day's leave." Ma Cang Ye Wang supported his chest with one hand, watching her bury her head in the soup, as if there was gold in the soup, "Those people in the palace will not bother me for the time being."

...Did he use the word "annoying" just now?

But she agreed that the relationship in the workplace is really troublesome, and he just came back from a hard business trip not long ago, let alone a day off, it should be ten or eight days off.

Thinking of this, she put down the bowl seriously: "I think you can take a few more days off."

"is it?"

She nodded: "You need to rest more now."

"for example?"

"For example, do nothing, lie down, look at the garden, and appreciate today's weather." If the cherry blossoms in the garden hadn't bloomed, she would also like to suggest that the other party look at the flowers more and adjust her mood.

"So, what if the people in the palace come to me for something?"

She said firmly: "Then blast the other party out."

"I've accepted your suggestion." King Ma Cang Ye smiled and said gently, "But I'm at home today, not just to rest."

"what do you mean……?"

He looked in the direction of the entrance: "It's almost time."

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

Ma Nu stood up and walked towards the entrance.

"Is it someone from the palace?"

"I can't say that completely. The other party should come in his own name."

She was very curious: "How do you know?"

"Divination." King Ma Cang Ye replied with a smile, "This is the basis of Yin Yang."

... No, she was sure that the "foundation" he spoke of was very different from the "foundation" that others recognized, and they were two completely different things.

She thought for a while, leaned forward slightly with a sudden hope, and asked seriously and nervously: "Can you predict things related to me through divination?"

The author has something to say:
