Chapter 356: Poison
Looking at Murong Xuanji's expression, Xuanyuan Hao's heart ached for no reason, and then, the vague feeling in his heart that Murong Xuanji was wrong began to bubble up again.
Once, when Xuanyuan Hao first met Murong Xuanji, he felt that something was wrong with her, so he slowly wanted to understand her, so that he was finally attracted to her.
In the past, only when Murong Xuanji was with Chu Hongze or Yu Xinya, he would have such a feeling, his brows were furrowed tightly, he was sure that there must be something in Murong Xuanji that he didn't know.
"What's wrong?" Murong Xuanji saw that Xuanyuan Hao had not returned to his senses for a long time, raised his eyebrows, and asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao smiled faintly and glanced at Murong Xuanji deeply, Murong Xuanji only felt that this glance made him have nothing to hide, and for a while, he was surprised, and he didn't know why Xuanyuan Hao suddenly showed such a look.
"No, it's just weird." Xuanyuan Hao shook his head, and then smiled, "Xuanji, it's still the same sentence, I'll wait for the time when you open your heart to me, I hope it won't be too long......"
Murong Xuanji pursed his lips and looked at Xuanyuan Hao, but saw that his expression was full of seriousness and strictness, and there was a little doting in the depths of his eyes, Murong Xuanji smiled and responded.
"I said you two, don't you want to flirt at this time?" Murong Yu took a deep breath, tried his best to ignore the aura of the carrion around him, and glared at the two people in front of him angrily, it was really too much!
Murong Xuanji's face turned red, pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "What my cousin said is that I will come here." With that, Murong Xuanji walked over, and Xuanyuan Hao wanted to hold Murong Xuanji, but Xuanyuan Hao dodged him, and then came to Murong Yu's side.
Seeing this, Murong Yu immediately became proud, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao provocatively.
Xuanyuan Hao ignored him, but came to Murong Xuanji's side and looked at the corpse below with her.
Murong Yu saw that Xuanyuan Hao ignored him, and he lost interest at the moment, pursed his lips, glanced at the corpse, and said lightly; "It's poison."
"Poison?" Murong Xuanji's brows furrowed slightly, "If it's poison, how did it get into the roast duck, this ......?"
Murong Yu shrugged his shoulders, signaling that he didn't even know about this, then checked it again, and then looked at the two of them: "I'm very sure of the poison, and this poison is colorless and tasteless, much better than the poison on the market!" ”
Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao glanced at each other and asked lightly; "I'm afraid the price of this poison is not low."
"A small packet, ten taels of gold." Murong Yu's cold voice rang out, and his eyes were full of cruelty.
Murong Xuanji looked at Murong Yu, who suddenly changed his face, and was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't know why Murong Yu was suddenly like this, and Xuanyuan Hao explained the reason, it turned out that this poison was made by Murong Yu out of boredom, and after getting it out, once Zhu Yu accidentally intercepted it when he was about to drink boiled water, and suddenly felt that if this thing was circulated, it would hurt people, so he destroyed this thing.
However, although it is destroyed, because sometimes they also need to use these things against the enemy, naturally some are left, but they are limited to internal use, even if they are sold to others, they will ask the purpose of the visitor, of course, the price is not low.
"So, as long as you find out who bought it, you can follow the vine?" Murong Xuanji said lightly, looking at Murong Yu, as if he understood something.
Presumably, they didn't want to hurt ordinary people by selling this thing, but they didn't expect that this time, ...... Miscalculated......
"Hmph, if I know who used my things to harm ordinary people, I will definitely not spare him!" Murong Yu flicked his long sleeves and left quickly.
Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao naturally followed, and the three of them quickly returned to the General's Mansion.
Baoqing Baoyue and Zhu Yu waited for the three of them, and when they saw the three of them coming back, they quickly went to the kitchen to prepare food, while Zhu Yu poured a cup of hot tea for the three of them, and stood aside obediently, his eyes were light, and he didn't look at Murong Yu at all.
Murong Yu, on the other hand, was thinking about the poison, so naturally he didn't feel Zhu Yu's expression.
Murong Xuanji took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "Xuanyuan Hao, I'm going to trouble you to find out the buyer behind this." ”
Xuanyuan Hao smiled indifferently; "It should."
Murong Xuanji nodded, at this time, Baoqing Baoyue also put things up, Baoqing's injury was just right, Murong Xuanji was worried about her body, so she asked Baoyue to help her aside to rest, let Zhu Yu take some food, and let the three of them eat on the side.
For a moment, no one spoke, as if they were all thinking about their own affairs.
Murong Xuanji saw Baoyue out of the corner of his eyes, thought about it, and said with a smile; "The secret word has already proposed marriage to me, so it's better to choose a date for him and Baoyue to marry."
The sudden happy event made everyone not react, but soon, Xuanyuan Hao smiled: "It's okay, the fifteenth day of next month is a good day, so it's better to be on that day." ”
Murong Xuanji thought for a while and responded: "It's okay." Saying that, she looked at Baoyue with a smile, Baoyue was blushing and lowered her head, Murong Xuanji had already helped her prepare a dowry before, she knew that Murong Xuanji would not treat her badly, thinking of this, her eyes were red, but fortunately, Baoqing joked, and Baoyue put away her tears.
Seeing this, Zhu Yu on the side suddenly felt a wave of envy in his heart, squirmed his lips a few times, looked at Baoyue, and said coldly: "Congratulations." ”
Zhu Yu was originally a cold character, and it could be said that he was even colder than Baoqing before, so Baoyue didn't think much about it, and hurriedly responded with a smile.
Murong Yu returned to his courtyard after eating, and before leaving, seeing that Xuanyuan Hao was still not leaving, he raised his eyebrows: "Xuanyuan Hao, you go back with me, my cousin is still a yellow flower girl, you can't let her ruin her innocence because of you!" As he spoke, without waiting for Xuanyuan Hao's reaction, he quickly grabbed Xuanyuan Hao's arm and brought him out.
A glimmer of danger flashed in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, and he looked at Murong Yu coldly, and Murong Yu said with a smile as if he hadn't seen him; "I'm Xuanji's cousin, and I have an obligation to protect her!"
Murong Xuanji covered her mouth and chuckled, looked at Xuanyuan Hao, and said slowly; "You go to sleep with your cousin, presumably the Nine Emperors' Mansion hasn't been collected yet."
Xuanyuan Hao still wanted to argue a few more words, how could he abandon Murong Xuanji and choose Murong Yu?
"If you don't come with me, I'll go and tell Uncle and Auntie." Murong Yu said again, then let go of Xuanyuan Hao's collar and walked leisurely towards his courtyard with a smile.
Xuanyuan Hao's face was gloomy, but he also knew that Murong Yu's personality was what he said, so he glanced at Murong Xuanji very reluctantly, so he had to follow him away.
Seeing this, Murong Xuanji shook her head helplessly, and after letting Baoqing and the others go to rest, she also went to bed, but she couldn't sleep at all, and she kept thinking in her head, who is the person behind this?
Could it really be the eldest prince and the second prince?
It seems that it is time to investigate the two of them, and slowly closing his eyes, Murong Xuanji felt a trace of fatigue and fell asleep.
The next day, when Murong Xuanji woke up, it was already dawn, called Baoyue, and after freshening up, Baoyue said: "Miss, Xuanyuan Gongzi and Murong Gongzi left early this morning, saying that when they come back, they will come out, so let you wait for them in the mansion." ”
Murong Xuanji nodded, ate a little something, and thought about going to the garden for a walk, by the way, to clear his mind for a while, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked into the garden, he saw Li Miaoxin and Zhou Xiaolan, both of them had a sad look on their faces, and Li Miaoxin was even worse, and Zhou Xiaolan was comforting on the side.
Murong Xuanji frowned slightly, then walked over and asked suspiciously; "Mother, Erniang, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”
The two didn't expect Murong Xuanji to come here, and they let the people who followed them leave because of their concerns, but when they saw Murong Xuanji, Li Miaoxin quickly wiped away her tears and reluctantly showed a smile: "Xuanji, it's okay, come, sit down." ”
Murong Xuanji looked at Zhou Xiaolan and asked with her eyes, but Zhou Xiaolan sighed and was silent.
This made Murong Xuanji even more puzzled, what the hell was still unsaid.
Li Miaoxin was obviously not in the mood, just looking into the distance, her face was full of confusion, and Zhou Xiaolan didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Li Miaoxin worriedly.
Murong Xuanji took a sip of hot tea, and then said slowly: "Mother, if there is anything you can't tell your father and brothers, it's better to tell your daughter, it's not easy for my mother to hold it in my heart like this, isn't it?" ”
Li Miaoxin's eyes dimmed, and she squirmed her lips a few times, but she didn't know where to start, and sighed heavily.
When Murong Xuanji saw this, he looked at Zhou Xiaolan; "Erniang, you say, you should know what's going on, right?"
Zhou Xiaolan frowned slightly, and then nodded: "Xuanji, I know about this matter, it is the matter of the three princes, I am afraid that there is a result, the evidence points to the three princes, which is very unfavorable to the three princes, and my sister is sad because of this, you must know that if something happens to the three princes, then the concubine is ......."
Zhou Xiaolan didn't finish the rest of the words, she knew that with Murong Xuanji's cleverness, she would naturally be able to understand.
And Murong Xuanji did know the strict nature of this matter, thought about it, and said, "Don't worry about it, mother, what does Daddy say about this matter?" ”
"Your father can't ......help it" Li Miaoxin's tears fell, her face was full of helplessness, no matter what, the concubine Niangniang is the sister of her own mother, how can she ignore it.
Murong Xuanji nodded, and said slowly: "Don't worry, after all, the emperor has not made a judgment on the third prince, presumably the emperor is also suspicious of this matter, I will go to my father to ask about the matter." After speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiaolan, "Erniang, please enlighten your mother." ”
"Yes, Xuanji, you can go, the master and your brothers are in the study." Zhou Xiaolan hurriedly said, she also understood the truth of being prosperous.
Murong Xuanji smiled, and then quickly walked towards Shuang, while Baoqing, who was following behind Murong Xuanji, said; "Miss, don't worry, the emperor is suspicious today, I'm afraid it's because all the evidence points to the third prince that he will be reluctant to make an order."
Murong Xuanji naturally understood this truth, nodded, and said, "What you said is right, that's the truth." Murong Xuanji gave Baoqing an appreciative look, and since he came to the study.
The people who were guarding outside the study naturally went to report first, and Murong Xuanji walked in, and saw that Murong He and the three brothers were frowning, and even Murong Jun, who had always been chattering, frowned tightly, and for a while, he knew that this matter was very tricky.
