Chapter 338: Demon Palace?
Murong Xi obviously didn't expect this store to be so big, in addition to the changing room, there was also a private room on the second floor.
"Ziyi, Zilan, you two have worked hard these days." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Miss, we miss you so much." Ziyi and Zilan said with a smile.
Murong Xi didn't say anything else but asked, "Except for the person named Lian'er who came over to take care of the store, don't the families of the five young ladies accept them?" ”
Ziyi looked indignant and said, "Miss, you don't know, their family is simply bastards. If it weren't for the fact that those people were all family members of the five girls, Zilan and I almost didn't wield our swords to destroy them. ”
Murong Xi frowned, he could make Ziyi angry like this, it seems that the families of these five girls are really wonderful. You must know that among these people, Ziyi's temper is the best.
"What happened to make you angry like this?" Murong Xi asked.
"When we took them home, one of the family members was stunned at first after seeing the girl's face, and obviously recognized their own girl. As a result, miss, do you know what they say? They actually said that their young lady didn't lose it at all, and the girl was impersonating, and the girl fainted on the spot. There is also a family that directly said that their young lady was infected with a serious disease and unfortunately passed away. People are not dead yet, they are cursed to death. I think in their hearts, it is better to send back a corpse. What's even more bizarre is the last one, saying that their girl has long been married, where did the young lady come from. The purple clothes crackled like pouring beans to tell the story of what had happened in the past few days.
Murong Xi's eyes were full of coldness, he didn't expect these girls to be disliked by his family.
"Miss, actually, these are not the most infuriating. In one family, when we sent the girl back, her family was very warm and cared for her. But what they didn't expect was that they actually waited for us to leave, turned around and bought this girl into the Qinglou. If it weren't for the fact that Ziyi forgot to give the silver and wanted to send the silver back, this girl would have been in the fire pit long ago. No, maybe he would have died a long time ago. Zilan also said angrily.
Murong Xi didn't expect that there would be such a family, and he was speechless.
Also, she was ready for it. Otherwise, these women would have long since lost their face to live in this world.
"How's the store doing?" Murong Xi asked softly.
"These girls are very smart, Lian'er has now taken good care of the rouge shop, and the second floor is the same, two of the five girls are from very good backgrounds, and it is not a problem to take care of the shop, and the other three embroidery skills are very good, and they are also embroidering a pattern or something in the shop. The two of us are basically nothing to do here right now. Ziyi said softly.
"Well, then after making arrangements, find two more people to protect them, and you follow me to Mingcheng." Murong Xi made a decision. Since they can take care of the shop, it is enough to arrange for two people from the Dark Incense Pavilion to secretly protect them. Ziyi and Zilan need to be brought back to Mingcheng. Now Mingcheng needs people, so it's a waste for Ziyi and Zilan to throw in Yancheng.
"Great, I can finally follow Miss again." Ziyi said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go to the inn first, and then you'll go and tell them who has the ability to trust you better than I do. Also, double their wages. Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"Yes."
Murong Xi went downstairs after speaking, and after a few brief words with them, he returned to the inn.
After seeing Mo'er and them, he said, "Mo'er, let the people of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion send two people to secretly protect their safety." Zilan and Ziyi will follow us back to Mingcheng when the time comes. ”
Mo'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the sisters could finally be together. Then he quickly went to deliver the news to the Dark Incense Pavilion, and Murong Xi smiled and returned to the third floor.
As soon as Murong Xi pushed the door, Feng Mingye took Murong Xi in his arms, and then kissed Murong Xi.
The kiss made Murong Xi almost lose his breath again, Murong Xi looked at Feng Mingye resentfully and said, "I have something serious to say." ”
"Xi'er, I miss you. Do you know how worried I am about you, in the future, if anyone robs you again, directly poison her with poison, don't scare me like this. Feng Mingye said pitifully.
Murong Xi held his forehead, is this still the Hades King who is uncertain and not confused by women?
"Well, I'll admit that I was too careless this time. I just want to know who wants to be healed and who is sick. Just now you mentioned the Leng family, where is the Leng family's courtyard? Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"Well, it's indeed the Leng family's other courtyard." Feng Mingye nodded and said.
"What does the Leng family have to do with the King of Chu?" Murong Xi asked softly.
"The Leng family has always obeyed orders with the King of Chu, how did Xi'er know that this matter was related to the King of Chu?" Feng Mingye raised his eyebrows and said.
"Last night, the person I really wanted to see was the King of Chu." Murong Xi said softly.
"Last night? Are you saying someone went into the courtyard last night? Feng Mingye was a little surprised, he obviously asked the night wind to keep an eye on the movements of the other courtyard, if there was any disturbance, they had to show him something. However, last night seemed unusually calm, when did this King of Chu enter?
"Well, this man has a lot of internal strength, and he is very good, and when he entered the room, because I had been thinking about this sudden incident, I didn't notice that he had entered the courtyard. This man wore a bronze mask, and he looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and I guessed that this person was the king of Chu. However, I didn't know that the courtyard was the Leng family courtyard, and it was a woman who robbed me. After thinking about it for a while, Murong Xi said slowly.
Feng Mingye was a little afraid, his people and Xi'er's people actually didn't find out about the appearance of the King of Chu, it seems that this King of Chu is really not simple.
If something happened last night, what should he do?
So, he tightened Murong Xi in his arms, and then said: "In the future, you must not easily let yourself fall into the trap, and you must not leave me an inch." Fortunately, nothing happened this time, but if something really happened, what would you do if you left me alone? ”
Murong Xi really didn't expect that King Chu would be so powerful, otherwise she wouldn't have risked being taken away by that woman.
"Ah Ye, this time the woman from the Leng family arrested me because of the illness of the King of Chu. They have been suffering from a strange illness because of the king of Chu, so they want me to heal the king of Chu. Murong Xi said slowly.
"King Chu is sick? What disease? Feng Mingye asked incredulously.
For so many years, there has never been news in Yunzhou that the King of Chu is suffering from a serious illness. Could it be that the king of Chu is really sick?
"Actually, he just asked me to check his pulse last night. Then I said that I could not be cured, so he asked the woman to arrange a carriage to send me back to Nanzhao early in the morning. And the king of Chu was not sick at all, and the doctor couldn't diagnose anything unusual about the king of Chu at all. However, I know that King Chu is not sick. Murong Xi said very entangledly.
"Then what's going on with King Chu?" Feng Mingye asked puzzled.
"Do you remember the mother concubine of Murong Jin, the king of Chu?" Murong Xi asked softly.
"Of course I remember, isn't it the one in the Feather Immortal Pavilion? What does it have to do with her, could it be that she also got sick and then passed it on to Murong Jin? Feng Mingye asked with doubts.
"Naturally not, she should have put a curse on Murong Jin's body before casting a spell on herself. And this kind of mantra will increase greatly with age. However, after the spell placed by the jade concubine remains in the body, it will undergo an abnormality. And it is believed that after the king of Chu was driven to Yunzhou, there had already been a change. So, he should have been suffering from curses for the past ten years. Murong Xi sighed and said slowly.
I didn't expect that Concubine Yu would do this, Murong Jin was also his own son, and he actually cursed him in order to satisfy his ambitions. Could it be that Murong Jin is really so important to be the emperor? Who is Yu Guifei, how can she be such a vicious curse, this curse is very similar to the spell of Fengtian Sect, but it is not exactly the same. Murong Xi suddenly thought of the exercises practiced by Xuan Rubing and Su Ziqian again, and that exercise was also very evil. Listening to what Xuan Rufeng said, that exercise came from the Demon Palace. Could it be that Concubine Yu is not a woman from that tribe, but from the Demon Palace?
It seems that after this matter goes back, I need to ask Xuan Rufeng.
"Ah Ye, didn't my uncle say that Xuan Rubing and Su Ziqian practiced the exercises from the Demon Palace? And the spell given by Yu Guifei is like a practice of cultivation. You say, will the Jade Guifei come from the Demon Palace? Murong Xi thought for a while and asked.
"The Demon Palace has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for decades, how could Yu Guifei come from the Demon Palace?" Feng Mingye said slowly.
"But it's not impossible, although the Demon Palace has disappeared, it is impossible for all the people in the Demon Palace to be killed overnight, and there will always be a living mouth. Therefore, Yu Guifei may be the fish that slipped through the net. Feng Mingye continued.
"Well, your analysis is good, if Yu Guifei is really from the Demon Palace, maybe Yu Guifei wants Murong Jin to be the emperor for the Demon Palace." Concubine Yu wanted Murong Jin to inherit the throne, not to let Murong Jin take care of the Linfeng Kingdom at all, but to restore the former glory of the Demon Palace. Murong Xi thought about it carefully and said.
Now that the King of Chu came to the door, Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi's face and said, "From now on, don't use the face of Ni Shang." It just so happens that my father has restored my identity, and you should show your original appearance and follow me into the palace to meet his old man. ”
Murong Xi thought about it, it was indeed a little inappropriate to wear Ni Xiang's face, especially after seeing Ye Tianmo with this face, she didn't know what Ye Tianmo would do. Also, she is very high-profile in a veil and wearing a red dress, and her goal is too obvious. The people who were looking for her knew at once that she was in Mingcheng in Nanzhao Kingdom.
"Okay, though, we need to plan a little. We need to get back to Mingcheng in disguise, it's too obvious now. Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Feng Mingye nodded and looked at Murong Xi dotingly and said.
Soon Ziyi's side had already done it, and Mo'er quickly informed the Dark Incense Pavilion to arrange manpower, Murong Xi told Shopkeeper Feng not to worry, telling him to be patient first, and soon he would be able to get his wish. Then they disguised themselves and left Yancheng.
Shopkeeper Feng could see that this lord and lady were not ordinary people, although what Murong Xi said to him was very meaningful, and he didn't understand it very well, but he understood Murong Xi's meaning that he asked him to endure first. Then, he took care of the inn and the rouge shop next to it in Yancheng first.
Soon, Murong Xi and the others didn't take long to return to the other courtyard in Mingcheng.
Murong Xi was tired, returned to the main courtyard, bathed and changed his clothes, and then fell asleep first.
