58.Mermaid Princess (5)

When they reached the antechamber, a handsome man in a blue brocade robe was sitting on the main seat waiting for them. Although the man looks good, there is a swagger between his eyebrows, which makes it difficult for people to have a good impression.

When Xiao Hanbei saw the man, he called coldly: "Brother Emperor." ”

Xiao Yuqi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he responded lightly with some displeasure. When he saw Tang Xi beside Xiao Hanbei, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "Who is this?" ”

Tang Xi didn't believe it, he didn't know who he was, as soon as Gonggong Li left with his front foot, he came with his back foot, there is nothing greasy in this, who believes it. She lowered her head slightly, and said indifferently: "Back to the words of the great prince, the folk girls are just ordinary people from the people." ”

Xiao Yuqi tapped lightly on the tabletop, raising her eyebrows slightly, "Really?" Why did this king hear that the emperor specially sent Gonggong Li over for you? ”

Xiao Hanbei: "Brother Great Emperor is really well-informed, I don't know what is the important thing to come here this time?" ”

Xiao Yuqi was a little dissatisfied with his words that he answered first, "Third Emperor Brother, this king is asking about the girl next to you, why should you answer on her behalf?" ”

Xiao Hanbei raised his eyes expressionlessly and looked at Xiao Yuqi, "Since she is in my mansion, she is naturally a person in my mansion, I will help the people in my mansion say something, and the eldest brother also has an opinion?" ”

Xiao Yuqi snorted lightly, his tone full of mockery, "The Third Emperor Brother wants others to be the people of your house, and it depends on whether others are willing or not." After that, Xiao Yuqi turned his head to look at Tang Xi, and said softly: "Girl, the third emperor brother has always disbelieved in the theory of gods and ghosts, you will only be looked down upon here, it is better to go back to the house with this king, this king will definitely not treat you badly." Xiao Yuqi looked at Tang Xi proudly, never thinking that Tang Xi would reject him.

Tang Xi's right hand hanging down at her side was clenched into a fist, and at this moment she really understood Xiao Hanbei's situation, Xiao Yuqi dared to say such things in front of Xiao Hanbei, and did not give Xiao Hanbei the slightest respect.

But she can't fall out with Xiao Yuqi now, there are some things, she can only endure it for the time being, "It's difficult for a people's girl to obey her fate, and if the people's girl goes to the Three Princes' Mansion first, she is the person in the Three Princes' Mansion." ”

The smile on Xiao Yuqi's face collapsed, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he slapped his palm on the table hard, "Do you know how many people dream of glory and wealth that you have rejected?" ”

"The folk girl knows, but the folk girl can only do this in order not to affect the prince." Tang Xi bit his lip lightly and said with some embarrassment.

Xiao Yuqi looked at her with some confusion, "Oh? Where does this start? ”

"The eldest prince must also know about Gonggong Li's coming, right?" Tang Xi waited for Xiao Yuqi to nod before continuing: "Since this is the case, then the eldest prince can also guess that the Li Gong Guild will treat the people as the people in the Three Princes' Mansion, right?" If the maiden and the prince leave at this moment, then I don't know if the news reaches the ears of the saint."

Tang Xi deliberately didn't pick it out, and let Xiao Yuqi imagine it freely.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuqi's face became more and more ugly, he glared at Xiao Hanbei, his eyes were full of unwillingness, "Hmph, I heard that the few people who refined the elixir for my father and emperor before, but nothing good came to an end." Originally, this king couldn't bear to see such a stunning beauty and the same fate as them, but since the beauty didn't appreciate it, there was nothing to say. ”

After that, Xiao Yuqi flicked his sleeves and left.

Xiao Hanbei held Tang Xi's hand hidden under his sleeve when everyone was not paying attention. If he guessed correctly, Xiao Yuqi would definitely not give up.

Three days later, the dilapidated and ancient Three Princes' Mansion had taken on a new look, and Tang Xi naturally entered the palace as agreed.

There was a room specially prepared for alchemists in the palace, and after Tang Xi entered the palace, he deeply understood how obsessed the emperor was with refining elixir. In addition to her, there were fifty-four alchemists in the palace.

When those alchemists looked at Tang Xi, they all looked at the dead with a kind of eyes. That's right, in their opinion, Tang Xi just wanted to climb onto the dragon bed before he lied that he was a master to enter the palace, you must know that someone had done this before, and the final result was that there was no corpse. Today's saints do love beauties, but compared to immortality, a few beauties are nothing.

After Tang Xi followed Gonggong Li to his room, he closed the door. Those alchemists didn't want to get close to her, but at least no one would disturb her when she was refining medicine.

However, after entering the palace, she and Xiao Hanbei met a lot less, and this was the most difficult part. For the sake of a happy life in the future, I can only endure it for the time being.

Tang Xi lay on the soft and comfortable bed, tossing and turning a little unable to sleep, and finally couldn't stand the hot weather, she fetched a few buckets of cold water from the backyard and slept directly in the barrel, she seemed to be getting more and more used to the life of a mermaid.

As soon as it was dawn, there was a knock on the door. Tang Xi got up from the barrel, took off his soaked clothes and changed into clean clothes before going to open the door.

Came over so early to urge her to refine medicine? That's what the hell is it. Tang Xi frowned and opened the door, only to find that it was not the same as he imagined. There was a little Taoist boy standing at the door of the room, who looked twelve or thirteen years old, and his appearance was quite delicate. As soon as Tang Xi opened the door, he immediately rushed in, and motioned Tang Xi to close the door quickly.

Although Tang Xi was surprised by his behavior, he still closed the door with his hand.

"Sister, get out of here quickly! It's dangerous here! Xiao Daotong didn't talk nonsense, and directly said the purpose of his coming.

Tang Xi squatted down and looked at him suspiciously, "You were brought in by the alchemist?" ”

Seeing that Tang Xi didn't listen to his words, Xiaodao Tong couldn't help but scratch his ears in a little anxious, he looked around, and saw Tang Xi's burden placed on the table upright, and rushed over with his eyes and took the burden in his hand.

Tang Xi was wondering that Xiao Daotong had already put the burden into her arms. "Sister, don't ask anything, let's go quickly."

"Why? What happened? Tang Xi saw that Xiao Daotong's expression was sincere, and knew that he was not teasing himself, so he asked.

Xiao Daotong walked around a few times with some annoyance, as if he didn't know how to tell Tang Xi.

"Don't worry, take your time." Tang Xi put the burden on the bed, poured another glass of water and handed it to Xiao Daotong.

Xiao Daotong took the water and drank a few sips, almost choking, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth vigorously, and whispered: "I couldn't sleep last night, and I heard the whispers of the master and several other alchemists. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Daotong lowered his head a little embarrassed, "The master seems to know some things about you, and he is discussing with several other alchemists to harm you."

Tang Xi hooked his lips and smiled, reached out and pinched Xiaodao Tong's white and tender cheeks, "You tell me these things, aren't you afraid that your master will beat you?" ”

A hint of fear flashed on Xiaodaotong's immature face, and he clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, as if he remembered something terrible.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xi grabbed Xiao Daotong's hand, only to feel that the tentacles were cold, it seemed that his master had done a lot of bad things. Xiao Daotong is now giving her a tip-off, if his master knows, he will definitely not spare him.

Xiao Daotong felt the warmth of his palms, and finally slowly vomited out the things that had been suppressed in his heart, "The sister who lived in this room before was killed by the master, it's so terrible, that sister has a lot of blood on her body"

Tang Xi hugged Xiao Daotong in his arms and patted him lightly on the back, "Silly boy, don't think about it, it's all over." You've just come to me, have you been discovered? ”

Xiao Daotong shook his head and looked at Tang Xi with teary eyes, "Sister, you should get out of here quickly." ”

"My sister still has her own things to do, and she can't leave here. You sneak out of your sister's room later, and don't tell anyone that you've been here. Tang Xi took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on Xiao Daotong's face, "Sister will be fine, don't worry." ”

After Tang Xi sent Xiaodao Tong out, his mood was a little heavy. She should have thought that there were so many alchemists, there would definitely be some people who did not compromise their means.

Everyone wants to live to the end, and once you become a person who has no value in zĂ i, there is naturally only a dead end. She must have been targeted by everyone because of the previous pearl incident.

There are alchemists entering the palace every day, and it stands to reason that her identity should not be so easy to discover, unless someone estimates that it is revealed. Tang Xi narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about the people who knew about it, and finally found that only one person was more suspicious.

At noon, Tang Xi staggered out the door. Although each alchemist has his own room, the place where everyone refines medicine is together.

Tang Xi stood outside the alchemy room and looked at it for a long time before he walked in. The alchemy room is very large, and it can accommodate more than fifty people, many people wearing Taoist costumes are refining medicine, and people who look like Taoist children are responsible for adding firewood to the alchemy furnace.

Tang Xi found Xiao Dao Tong next to a short Taoist priest in his forties, and at this time, Xiao Dao Tong's face was red from smoke, and the Taoist priest was still urging Xiao Dao Tong to speed up from time to time.

When Tang Xi came in, several Taoist priests stopped their movements at the same time and turned their heads to look at her. I don't know if it's because of psychological hints, Tang Xi noticed that the Taoist priest next to Xiao Daotong looked at her with malicious intent.

Tang Xi ignored them and walked straight to an alchemy furnace that no one was occupying it. She put her hand on the lid of the furnace, and just as she was about to open the alchemy furnace, someone reached out and pressed the alchemy furnace.

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at the visitor, who looked about thirty-four or five years old, with a stubble on his face and straight eyes. Stared at her with squinting eyes. "Beauty, this is my territory, if you want to refine medicine here, you have to pay a price."

Tang Xi hooked his lips and smiled at him, "Really? At what cost? ”

The man looked Tang Xi up and down with his hands on his cheeks, and said in a flirtatious tone: "It depends on what the beauty thinks." ”
