After Rushi and Ruhua finished watering the flower garden, Murong Xi just came out of the medicine room. After Murong Xi changed her clothes, she was about to walk out, but her legs that she stepped out retracted.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Rushi asked doubtfully. Could it be that the lady doesn't want to go?
"Why do I always feel like something is wrong? Wait for me." Murong Xi turned around and entered the room, picked up a bottle of unknown potion and wiped it on his face.
"Miss, what is this?" Ruhua asked in surprise.
Murong Xi smiled, and then said mysteriously: "Just in case, that man in black robe is not simple. I always feel that Concubine Shu Weasel is not well-intentioned in giving New Year greetings to the chicken, and although no one can see the problem on my face
, but I can’t guarantee that there are no masters in this world. This thing is just in case. Maybe I’m overthinking, but I can’t guarantee that she has no purpose.”
Rushi and Ruhua nodded, and then followed Murong Xi to Biyun Palace.
When they arrived at the entrance of Biyun Palace, the maid guarding the door did not go in to report.
He walked forward, bowed and said, "Your Highness, the queen has given instructions to the servants. If the princess comes, she can just go in without announcing it."
Murong Xi nodded and slowly walked in with Ru Shi and Ru Hua.
Oh, the Biyun Palace is surprisingly quiet today. There are not even any birds, and they say there is no problem. Murong Xi thought to himself, if this person is a Taoist priest, he must think that he has entered a ghost house. Although it is not night,
But it's a bit more intrusive and eerie than at night.
Murong Xi glanced at the lotus pond calmly and found that there was some black powder on each petal. When she came last time, although she didn't look at it carefully, she also knew that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were all pink and white.
It looks like there is no such powder on it.
Entering the palace, he saw Concubine Shu sitting on the throne waiting for him. Murong Xi showed a sweet smile and stepped forward and said, "Concubine Shu."
"Xi'er is here? Come and sit down quickly. I haven't seen you for a while." Concubine Shu's voice was very gentle. If Murong Xi hadn't sent someone to secretly investigate, it would have been impossible to realize that Concubine Shu's palace was so deep.
"Xi'er also misses Concubine Shu." Murong Xi said with a smile.
After looking around for a while, she blinked her big eyes and said, "Shumu Concubine, where is Ya'er? I brought a gift for Ya'er."
"Why are Xi'er so polite? Ya'er is too young to spoil her." Concubine Shu said with a smile.
"Concubine Shumu is seeing an outsider now. Ya'er is Xi'er's sister, so of course she must be loved. How can you pamper your sister by giving her a gift? Where is she?" Murong Xi still had a playful smile on her face.
appearance.
"Well, to be honest with Xi'er, Ya'er is sick." Concubine Shu said with a sigh.
"Ah, Concubine Shumu, why didn't you tell Xi'er earlier that Xi'er would come to visit her sister earlier? Is Xi'er resting in the dormitory? Then Xi'er went to see her and give her the gift in person." Murong Xi
Looking very worried, after saying this, he was about to get up and walk out of the hall.
"Xi'er!" Concubine Shu shouted immediately when she saw something was wrong. However, she didn't expect that the voice she shouted out was very cold.
Murong Xi sneered in her heart, must this be the real Concubine Shu? Then she pretended to be very aggrieved and turned back to look at Concubine Shu and said: "Concubine Shu, did Xi'er do something wrong? Why are you so angry?"
The coldness on Concubine Shu's face disappeared. She was shouting coldly because of her panic. Now she had returned to her previous gentleness and said, "Xi'er misunderstood, but Ya'er is just feeling better.
I'm afraid that she will pass on her illness to you. You don't know, Ya'er is so young that she became very troublesome after she got sick."
It happened that at this time, a
A palace maid walked in quickly and said a few words in Concubine Shu's ear. Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief without revealing any trace, but she could not hide it from Murong Xi's eyes.
So Murong Xi said aggrievedly: "Then Xi'er won't go. Give the gift to Concubine Shu first, and Concubine Shu will give it to Ya'er. Since Ya'er is not feeling well, Xi'er will stay soon and come back to accompany her another day.
Concubine Shu is having a meal."
In fact, Ye Li had been following Murong Xi, and he heard clearly what Murong Xi said.
Yeli held his forehead and sighed in his heart, the little princess is so good at pretending.
Concubine Shu stepped forward and held Murong Xi's hand, and said softly: "Xi'er, you see that Ya'er has just woken up. Ya'er is much better than the past few days. Please accompany me to see Ya'er.
Come on. Ya'er is sick now, and my heart is also tightening. Don't leave. Dinner is almost ready. Just eat here with Concubine Shu before leaving."
Murong Xi smiled and said happily: "Really? Can we see Ya'er?"
"Let's go." Concubine Shu took Murong Xi's hand and went to Murong Ya's bedroom together.
I suddenly agreed again, maybe because Murong Ya is not as crazy as she was a few days ago, right?
It was even quieter outside Murong Ya's bedroom. When she entered the courtyard, she saw no one guarding the courtyard. However, Concubine Shu didn't seem surprised at all. Wouldn't she be worried that no one was guarding Murong Ya? However, Murong Ya
With that look, I'm afraid the fewer people there, the better.
The front hall just looked like a ghost house, and this place is probably a veritable haunted house. This is the first time Murong Xi has come to Murong Ya's courtyard, and of course he means walking in openly.
She knew that there was a pond in Murong Ya's yard, and there were very beautiful koi in it. But now the pond was empty, not a single fish was seen. Of course, she couldn't ask.
Entering the dormitory, Murong Xi saw Murong Ya, lying quietly on the bed.
When she looked at it, she found a small blood stain on the corner of Murong Ya's mouth. However, it couldn't be seen without looking carefully. Could it be that she had another attack?
She pretended to be surprised and asked: "What's wrong with Ya'er? Are you always so sleepy?"
Concubine Shu explained: "It's just a fever. I just said I was awake, so why did I fall asleep again?"
Murong Xi understood that Murong Ya should have been awake just now, but when she heard that she was coming to see Murong Ya, someone knocked her out.
"Since Ya'er hasn't woken up, I'll put the gift on the bedside. When she wakes up, she can see it as soon as possible." Murong Xi placed the purse on Murong Ya's bedside.
Concubine Shu's eyes did not leave the purse, then she turned around and said, "Xier, let's go out first."
Murong Xi nodded, and she obediently followed Concubine Shu out.
When she walked outside the courtyard, she saw the palace maid who reported the news. Concubine Shu said to her: "Watch the princess carefully. When you wake up, go and report."
"Yes." The palace maid responded and entered the courtyard.
The two chatted for a while, and Yuan'er walked in and said, "Mother, dinner is ready."
"Xier, let's go have a meal." Concubine Shu stood up and said.
"Isn't dinner served here?" Murong Xi asked with a smile.
"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty, your Majesty has arranged dinner outside the nearby courtyard today. The flowers planted in that courtyard have already bloomed very beautifully." Yuan'er hurriedly explained.
"Concubine Shu is so kind to Xi'er. Xi'er happens to be a little hungry. Let's go quickly." Murong Xi followed Concubine Shu to the yard next to her.
Murong Xi didn't think so in her heart. Maybe there was something waiting for her in the yard next to her?
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Murong Xi felt a faint fragrance.
After smelling the smell, Murong Xi's eyes became extremely gloomy.
She was so familiar with the scent of this flower that she actually fell in love with such a flower in the courtyard.
When Murong Xi walked in, he saw a field of fiery red flowers. Haha, this flower needs human blood to grow.
Doesn’t Concubine Shu know that these flowers are poisonous? No, since they grow so well, she should have fed these flowers with human blood.
Meiyanzui is the name of this flower. Although the name sounds nice, it is also extremely poisonous. People who are poisoned by this poison will suddenly become extremely beautiful. Then the skin all over the body begins to ulcerate. What is very strange is that no matter how much the ulcer is,
To any extent, this person will not die, and only a skeleton will be left in the end.
However, the effect of Mei Yan Zui is not limited to this. Even the fragrance of flowers is poisonous. It is corrosive to things like human skin masks. Is this doubting her face? Fortunately, before she left,
Just in case, she applied a layer of liquid on her face. Otherwise, after a quarter of an hour, the skin on her face would fall off piece by piece.
It seems that the man in black robe next to Concubine Shu is very capable. Concubine Shu must have told the man in black robe about what happened some time ago, and the man in black robe became suspicious of her, so today he must be testing her again.
Murong Xi sat down opposite Concubine Shu without changing her expression, and then said as if she was intoxicated by the flowers in the yard: "Concubine Shu, these flowers are so beautiful. I wonder if I can give Xi'er a few flowers when I leave. Xi'er
I want to plant it in the flower garden of Ningxi Palace."
Concubine Shu concealed it very well. She just said gently: "Xier, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, it's that I tried to move a few of these flowers to my yard. Who knew that they would wither in a few days?"
So, even if I give it to you, I won’t be able to live on it. Why don’t you go to this palace’s courtyard to enjoy the flowers if you want to see them?”
Murong Xi seemed a little disappointed, so she could only say: "Well, Concubine Shu, just don't dislike Xi'er."
"How come? Let's eat first." Concubine Shu said.
The maids brought out the dishes one after another, making Murong Xi dazzled.
During this period, Concubine Shu kept staring at Murong Xi's face.
Murong Xi naturally knew that the gaze never left her face. But she pretended not to know and kept enjoying the food.
Concubine Shu was not stupid enough to poison the dishes, so she was very relieved to eat this meal.
However, Murong Xi clearly felt that besides Concubine Shu's gaze in the courtyard, there was also a cold gaze staring at her. Murong Xi guessed that it must be the man in black robe.
I don’t know the reason why they did this. Is it just to expose their appearance? If the father really sees her appearance, I believe he will be more sure that she is his biological daughter. Why does Concubine Shu have to do this extra thing?
Want to find out?
After dinner, Murong Xi did not stay in Biyun Hall any longer.
She returned to Ningxi Hall with Rushi and Ruhua.
Rushi and Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief, but Murong Xi couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so nervous?"
"Miss, the flowers in that yard look so enchanting, there must be something wrong. However, nothing happened this night, which makes us even more worried." Ru Shi said.
"Ru Shi is really right. Those flowers are called Mei Yan Zui and are extremely poisonous. However, as long as they don't touch the pollen, it will be fine. Concubine Shu is not trying to take my life today, but is testing me." Murong Xi slowly said
said.
"Testing?" Ruhua was stunned.
"Test whether my face is fake." Murong Xi frowned and said.
