Chapter 17 Two Birds with One Stone

The fifth aunt took a sarcastic look at the first lady and slowly poured down the tea in her hand. As soon as the hot tea touched the wooden floor, it was corroded, and the floor was black with thick smoke.

Murong Xun's face turned pale in an instant.

The smile on the fifth aunt's mouth was still cold. She looked at the old lady's calm face and said with a smile, "What does this mean? Why did you do this to Miss Wu?"

The first lady glanced at the fifth aunt gently, raised her chest slightly, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

The fifth aunt smiled and said, "If I hadn't found out early, I'm afraid Miss Wu had drowned at this moment, right? The name of this poison is changed to the Water Dragon King. People who are poisoned will have serious hallucinations. When they see water, they will jump down regardless of their body. If Miss Wu took this poison, then her wife will find an excuse to leave. Miss Wu drowned for no reason. At that time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape the relationship. Madam, kill two birds with one stone!"

The coldness on her lips was deeper, and the fifth aunt said, "Although this poison is colorless and tasteless, the lady's maid is a little less timid. Her hands are not very sharp, and her sleeves are stained with powder!"

The little maid's face suddenly turned white. She subconsciously checked the cuffs. There was some powder there. When she was putting down her hanging heart, she looked up at the hateful eyes of the eldest lady. Suddenly, her heart cooled down. At this time, the fifth aunt said!

The fifth aunt smiled and said, "If Madam has no other instructions, I'll leave first!" With that, she glanced at the snow-white "Murong Xun" and "Don't you go?"

"Murong Xun" seemed to react and said anxiously, "Wait for me, I'll go with you!"

The first lady's face is still blue, her back is as proud as if it had never been bent, and the murderous spirit in her eyes was extremely strong.

"You, what is your identity?" Murong Xun looked at the woman's beautiful back and asked anxiously.

"Me?" The woman turned around and raised her eyebrows. She looked at Murong Xun and smiled, "You don't really think that the first lady will let you live!" And your brother..."

"What's wrong with my brother?" Murong Xun said in a shrill voice. After realizing what he had said, his pale face became more and more ugly.

"Nothing for the time being!" The fifth aunt smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. You are not a fool. You should also know who you can trust now, who is worth relying on, and who can protect you?"

The fifth aunt stepped back two steps and nodded her head with her forefinger. "Don't doubt me, and don't look at me. I'm just a concubine. I can't help you a lot. I can't help the eldest lady!" Think about it here!" After that, he left demonically, leaving a string of delicate smiles.

In these days, Shangguan Zixuan usually goes out early and returns late. Although he used to take time to refine medicine with the Empress Dowager, it is not like in recent days. It can also be seen that Shangguan Zixuan also deliberately hides from Shangguan Zisang.

Every night, Shangguan Zisang had to wait for Shangguan Zixuan to come back before he could sleep at ease. He could see the worry and distress in his eyes, as well as the sadness of being ignored by Shangguan Zixuan. The soft moonlight at night sprinkled on the teenager's body, and the young man's eyebrows became more and more unreal.

The two meet each other in the daytime, and Shangguan Zisang is also laughing. He can't help but ask about Zixuan's life. One person pleases him with apologies, and the other avoids intentionally or unintentionally. It seems that there is an insurmountable gap between the two. There is a forbidden place, and no one dares to step on it. .

Murong Xun thought that they were really a pair of strange brothers.

Although the way the two get along with each other is strange, their care is sincere. Thinking of this, Murong Xun frowned unconsciously, and the feelings of brothers and sisters. For the Murong family in this life, for these brothers, although there are some memories in their bodies, they are always pitiful. For her, these people who have the same blood as her can only take advantage of it. What is the thin family affection with them?

Looking straight at the handsome man in front of him, the sun pened through the window and hit his white brocade suit, with glittering on the lines embroidered with silver thread. The fingers holding the white porcelain blue glazed tea cup were evenly trimed, and the smiling face was bright and clear.

"They want to sue and ask for justice, but some people desperately want to press down. This is like water and fire. How can they coexist?" Murong Yao said with a light tone and a smile.

"Do you want things to get bigger and better?" Murong Xun withdrew his thoughts, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of hot tea.

"Water can put out the fire. If water turns into oil, it will only make the fire burn more and more. What we have to do is how to turn the water into oil and let them burn themselves!" Murong Yao said faintly. When he spoke, his eyes glanced out of the window. The bright sunshine in early summer was particularly dazzling, and as far as he could see, it seemed to have a faint aperture.

She turned her eyes to the woman in front of her. She had strong eyebrows and dark eyes, like the thick ink when she was painting. Murong Yao was stunned for a moment. From the time she came back, she felt that this woman was different from what she knew before. Although her memory in the past was also light and pitiful, most of it was her by her father. Jealousy when spoiling. But now she is indifferent and cold. There are often feelings in her eyes that she can't even understand, which is really different from the delicate girl in her memory.

Is the impact of eight years on a person so great? This is also what he knew from the first sight of her that this woman, if used properly, would be his powerful helper.

"Anyone who is respected should avoid his subordinates from deceiving the superiors and subordinates, and form a party for personal gain. Today, your majesty hates this even more. If the disaster victims want to sue upwards, and officials at all levels along the way, in order to please the dignitaries of the Shangguan family, they will dance to make a selfishness, block them, and suppress it down. If this news is heard from your majesty's ears, it must be touched. If the Shangguan family loses its sacred heart and makes your majesty suspicious, the Shangguan family will inevitably decline!" Murong Xun said lightly.

Murong Yao nodded approvingly and looked at a pair of delicate hands placed by Murong Xun on the table. Her hands were very white and delicate, like porcelain, but if she observed carefully, there was a faint thin cocoon between her right index finger and middle finger, which seemed to be a frequent use of hidden weapons.

"More than one official congratulates the guard and steals himself. It is absolutely impossible to move it with fake medicine mixed with medicinal materials, so it can only be used in other methods. Moreover, in this disaster relief, my father is an imperial minister, and he is also responsible for negligence, which is difficult to blame!" After a pause, Murong Yao said, "In the past few days, the fifth sister and the big sister in the house Madam seems to be a little unhappy!"

Murong Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Yao faintly. There was a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. He looked at the street below from the semi-open window, and it was still people coming and forth. But no matter how hurried they are, they always know the direction they are going and know that there is a place where people are always looking forward to themselves and waiting for them.

When I woke up again, I was already like a different world, alone. Is that where I belong?

At the time of separation, Murong Xun asked Murong Yao, "You, the prime minister, often meet me, who once pretended to be the prime minister. Won't it be suspicious?"

Murong Yao straightened his back, looked slightly up at the changing clouds above the blue sky, and smiled softly. "Since it's a farce of the jumping clown, everyone knows it. Why do you care so much? What's more, the old lady may not pay attention to me!" His smile paused, turned his head and eyes. Guang Shen looked at Murong Xun, " Sometimes, I really hope you are not my sister!" As soon as the words fell, Murong Yao had already left. He is very tall, with a straight back and an unspeakable loneliness all over his body. Even in the vast crowd, he can be recognized at a glance.

Until he returned to Shangguan Zixuan, Murong Xun's last sentence still echoed in Murong's mind. What did he mean?

"Woth girl!" Shangguan Zisang fell behind Murong Xun like a ghost and roared behind her ear.

Murong Xun was used to Shangguan Zisang's ghosts. He glanced at her faintly and didn't intend to pay attention to him. He took a few steps inside and paused again. He glanced around the yard quickly. "Who's up at home?"

The word "home" broke into Shangguan Zisang's ears. He was stunned for a moment. With a sense of belonging, it belonged to a wandering soul. The warm feeling was like nesting in his mother's arms when he was a child. After losing his mind for a moment, a heartless smile appeared on Shangguan Zisang's face. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Xun, "A great god!"

Murong Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a light smile, "Is it the King of Qi?"

Shangguan Zisang smiled and said, "How do you know?"

Murong Xun's joking sentence didn't expect that the king of Qi was really coming. She looked at Guan Zisang and asked with doubt, "Don't you have to go out to hide?"

Shangguan Zisang looked at the room, gritted his teeth and said, "If the king of Qi hadn't put ** on the snow lotus so despicably, would I have been so embarrassed? However, I am quite confident in my light skills. They must not have even seen a corner of my clothes, so I don't have to worry at all!" Finally, he raised a delicate little face slightly, showing a proud look.

However, this proud look broke after not long. He looked at the king of Qi stepping out of Shangguan Zixuan's room with a bright smile on his face, holding the Tianshan snow lotus wrapped in red silk in his hand. He announced his resignation to Shangguan Zi and left. When he passed by Shangguan Zisang, his eyes looked at it coldly. He took a look. The yin eyes are like a poisonous snake stained with poison.

Shangguan Zisang looked at Shangguan Zixuan aggrievedly. He didn't understand why his brother exchanged the things he worked hard to steal so easily for others and didn't care about his own intentions at all? Or can't you get his forgiveness no matter what you do?

Murong Xun felt the gloom on Shangguan Zisang's body. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "He is all for you. You are not the only one who is wronged. The king of Qi will be retribution. No one knows how he persuades the king of Qi not to pursue you. Maybe he is deeper than you!"

Shangguan Zisang's eyes flashed slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled, "Really?"

Murong Xun walked towards Shangguan Zixuan. When he was about to reach the door, he found that there was another person behind him. The man was dressed in a black brocade suit, and his face was a little pale, but he couldn't hide his rich posture. The slanted sword went straight into his temples, and his thin and sexy lips hung with a lazy smile.
