Chapter 58: The Familiar Unknown Is the Most Terrifying (1)
"Hey Leng Mo, why do you care so much about what they say?! This Lu Qiong is an old acquaintance of the master, I heard that the relationship between the two was good before, how could it be possible to harm the master? Xiao Liu flew a roll of his eyes towards Leng Mo, admiring his analysis very much. This is cold, and I don't know what kind of wind to smoke? Xiaoliu really can't understand him.
However, Leng Mo was speechless about Xiao Liu's anxious IQ, and he didn't know whether to call him naïve or stupid. Sure enough, it's Xi Shuang's divine beast, as innocent as Xi Shuang.
"Idiot. The familiar unknown is the most terrifying. Wash the dishes well. ”
Said coldly and lightly, shook off the water in his hands, took off his apron, and walked towards the door.
Xiao Liu was still a little confused about what Leng Mo said, "What is the familiar unknown?" Xiao Liu was muttering, and suddenly glanced at the dirty bowl full of water and came back to his senses, but when he was about to shout to stop Leng Mo, he had long since disappeared.
Xiao Liu looked at the bowl full of water, and threw his hand into the water heavily, but except for the splash that wet his sleeves, he didn't lose the slightest benefit, and still had to wash the dishes bitterly.
Tanwu Palace, bursts of sneering.
Lu Qiong carefully hid the dagger in the brocade box, she is also a smart person, if the hard one doesn't work, the soft one will come, she plans to adopt a roundabout tactic.
As long as you can be alone with Xi Shuang......
The corners of Lu Qiong's mouth hooked up a sinister smile.
Tan Yuan Palace, Xi Shuang was still thinking about what Lu Qiong said, and it was still difficult to calm down in her heart, and the air flow in her body began to scurry between her internal organs again, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it now. She only wanted to know now what was going on in Fengguo and where Brother Mu was.
"Senior sister." Leng Mo didn't know where to find a jar of candied fruit and stuffed it into Xi's hands.
"Senior brother? What are you doing here? Xi Shuang held the candied fruit and looked behind Leng Mo, it turned out that he had just figured out that he had forgotten to close the door.
Leng Mo saw that Xi Shuang was still holding the candied fruit, and had no intention of opening it, so he helped her open it, naturally picked up a candied fruit, and was about to stuff it into Xi Shuang's mouth, Xi Shuang shrank back slightly, and looked at Leng Mo with incredible eyes in his eyes. Leng Mo suddenly realized his abruptness, withdrew his hand stupidly, smiled awkwardly, and stuffed the candied fruit into Xi's hands.
I don't know why, he's been making such abrupt moves unintentionally lately, and it seems that he should restrain himself for a while.
"Where's Little Liu?" Xi Shuang looked behind Leng Mo, but it was empty.
"Wash the dishes." Leng Mo's face was indifferent, and Xi Shuang was shocked.
"Washing dishes?! Can he wash the dishes obediently?! Usually when Xi Shuang washes the dishes, he asks him to wash the dishes and help wash them, and he can come up with all kinds of ways to shirk it, or he coaxes Xi Shuang sweetly, so that she has no way to "attack" him again.
In Xiao Liu's own words, "I am an ancient divine beast, how can I say that I am also the king of the mountain, how can I do this dishwashing business?" What kind of system?! However, in front of Leng Mo, he actually obediently washed the dishes, and still did all the work alone, which was like a white tiger turning into a white cat.
Xi Shuang couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the scene where Xiaoliu was washing the dishes, but her smile still couldn't hide the heavy sadness in her eyes.
"Shuangshuang, what's wrong with you?" Leng Mo pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Xi Shuang. As he gets older, Leng Mo's eyesight is getting worse day by day, especially in the last few days, his eyesight has deteriorated extremely fast, and he can barely see Xi Shuang's delicate little face when he sits so close.
"It's fine." Xi Shuang kept stuffing candied fruit into her mouth, Sister Yue said that eating sweet would make people feel happy, but she still couldn't be happy after eating so much candied fruit.
Since Xi Shuang had already said this, Leng Mo naturally knew that she was reluctant to say more. Since she didn't want to, then he wouldn't be reluctant. Leng Mo rubbed her hair, he didn't know how to comfort people, all he could do now was to accompany her.
"Senior brother, I'm really fine! You can rest assured. It's just that some things are hard to accept for a while, it's okay! Xi Shuang pulled out a smile. In this life, she has too many things to worry about, and now she doesn't want to block anyone, let alone infect other people.
The stronger Xi Shuang is, the more distressed Leng Mo is, he obviously knows that Xi Shuang has something in his heart, but he still has to pretend to be strong. How much does a person have to go through to be like this?
"You don't have to be so strong in front of me." Leng Mo rubbed Xi Shuang's hair.
Xi's hands shook, and the candied fruit he had just taken out fell to the ground at once. She hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but large tears slid down her face. Once, Xi Jue also said this to her.
Xi Shuang still remembered the guilt on Xi Jue's face when he stabbed her at that time, and remembered that he said very seriously, "In front of me, you don't have to be so strong." I remember that he rubbed her hair, and she leaned on Xi Jue's shoulder, it was such a peaceful and quiet time. But God, why is it always unfulfilled?!
Xi Shuang squatted down, hugged his knees and cried, his shoulders trembling.
Suddenly, a pair of hands gently hugged her shoulders, and the cold temperature gradually penetrated into Xi Shuang's body, which was the same peace of mind! Xi Shuang hurriedly seemed to have a lot more stability in his body, at least he was no longer rampage.
"Did I just say the wrong thing?" Leng Mo patted Xi Shuang's back and helped her breathe. In front of Xi Shuang, he was afraid that something would happen to her, for fear that something would upset her. He never knew how to comfort others, let alone the art of language.
Xi Shuang wiped his tears and shook his head.
"You're right. It's just that I've been told that before. ”
Leng Mo took a long breath in his heart, and rubbed Xi Shuang's hair again, he actually wanted to ask who also told her this, was it a man or a woman? But he also knows that now is not the time to break the vinegar jar.
Xi Shuang squeezed out a smile, and her cold concern made her heart warm. In this indifferent, cruel and cold Tanyun Mountain, the only people who care about her so much are the senior brothers and sisters and Xiaoliu!
Xi Shuang couldn't sit comfortably, and they were just as helpless as they were in Feng Kingdom.
Fengguo, Kyoto Xifu.
"Brother Mu, you can eat a little more!" Xi Jue personally brought the food, only to see Mu Zixian still looking at the two portraits in front of him in a daze, looking haggard.
Since Mu Liang was executed and Mrs. Mu died of illness, Mu Zixian has not closed his eyes for several days, and he has hardly eaten anything since he was taken to Kyoto by Xi's father.
"Brother Jue, hey~" Mu Zixian sighed and gently stroked the painting, as if he was touching a real person.
"Brother Mu, let go!" Xi Jue set up the meal and walked to Mu Zixian's side.
"Are you relieved of Shuang'er's death?" Mu Zixian stroked the Xi Shuang on the painting, gloomy and sad. And Xi Jue was also stunned, to be honest, every day without Xi Shuang was like a year.
If you are really relieved, then how can you dream back in the middle of the night? It's just that he once turned himself into a walking dead to vent his emotions, and now he plans to live together with Xi Shuang's life!
Mu Zixian chuckled, "Brother Jue, I still haven't put it down!" It's just that Xi Jue can't let go of only Xi Shuang, and what he can't let go of is the shameful things that his mother and father did.
When Mu Zixian just received the bad news that his father was going to be executed, his whole person was numb, he didn't want to believe that his father was such a heinous person. People who are so familiar also have unknowns that you don't know. And this familiar unknown is the most terrifying, so that the mother is bedridden, how can the murderer who died of illness say that there is no it?
Although Mu Zixian has seen the changes in his father over the years, he originally thought that his father was just jealous of Master Xi's promotion, so he was a little anxious for quick success. Unexpectedly, he actually had a secret alliance with Xin Guifei Zhuti and colluded with the ministers, and he didn't know that he was colluding with those people of the Stygian Moon Clan who were determined to carry out a coup d'état together. If it weren't for the Feng Emperor Feng Huanyu's preparations, he sent Master Xi to gather the ministers to secretly investigate his father, and also summoned the fifth prince Feng Huanrong and General Zhao back, I'm afraid that sitting on the dragon chair now is Feng Huanshi.
Mu Zixian is really hard to accept, he has always admired his father when he was a child, and I don't know when his father has changed. In fact, it was difficult for him to accept that the third prince, Feng Huan, was actually his half-brother.
Although it was because of Master Xi's secret investigation, his father showed his feet, implemented the plan in advance, and ended up in a catastrophe. But Mu Zixian knew that even if there was no investigation by Master Xi, one day he would be exposed, after all, if he wanted people not to know, he would not do anything unless he did. Moreover, if it weren't for Emperor Feng's benevolence and the Xi family's intercession, just for the fornication of the palace concubine, the Mu family would have been exterminated by the Nine Clans, how could he have a breath, and how could Feng Huan Shi just be demoted to a commoner?
The father has wanted to harm Master Xi many times, and even sent the daughter of the Xi family into the palace with a trick, although the sister of the Xi family was blessed by misfortune, but what if it was Shuang'er who entered the palace at the beginning? But Master Xi ignored his previous suspicions, but took him in.
Sometimes Mu Zixian has a disturbed conscience when he lies on the bed in Xifu, and he feels very strange about his father's approach, and he really doesn't dare to agree. What about fame and fortune? What about wealth? In the end, it is not a catastrophe.
"Brother Mu still has to take care of his body!" Xi Jue put his arm on Mu Zixian's shoulder, and the pain was still in his heart and had never healed.
Mu Zixian sighed, rolled up the painting, and carefully put it back in its place. The deceased is gone, and the living mourn.
"Let's go out and have a try!" With a flash of silver light, Xi Jue pulled out his sword, and the subordinates of Xi Mansion hurriedly took a few steps back, trembling. No one has ever dared to mention Miss Xi Er, this is a minefield! However, this time it was Young Master Mu who was mentioned, and I don't know if Young Master Xi would make fun of them.
Someone inadvertently mentioned Miss Xi Er before, and Young Master Xi suddenly had a strong murderous aura, and as a result, that person was half-crippled. They don't want to die yet!
I saw two silver lights "brushing" in the dark......
