Chapter 1093: The Cunning Lord Shangshu
After hearing the news brought back by the people from the Yama Palace, Murong Xi's heart was also at a loss. At first, she thought that one of her five daughters would definitely be the daughter of Elder Yin. But who knew that none of the five daughters had a mole behind their ears. Where is Elder Yin's daughter?
"Xi'er, is there really such a ruthless father in this world, would he send his own daughter to Yihong Courtyard?" Feng Mingye asked uncertainly.
Feng Mingye knew that he was reluctant to let his daughter suffer a little grievance, but this Lord Shangshu was so inhumane that he couldn't be sure that Lord Shangshu's conscience was still there.
"Although Lord Shangshu is ambitious, he is not like a person who sent his own daughter to the Qinglou. If he gave his daughter away as a concubine in order to win over officials, I believe it. Sent to the Qinglou, it didn't do him any good. Murong Xi said coldly.
Murong Xi's face was very ugly, because she was very sympathetic to Elder Yin's plight and hoped that her daughter would be safe.
Seeing that Murong Xi was very anxious, Feng Ming Ye comforted: "We will definitely find someone." ”
As he was talking, the people from the Yama Palace soon came back and reported that no women had been sent out of the Shangshu Mansion in recent years, and no slaves and maids had been sent to the Qinglou.
Feng Mingye and Murong Xi glanced at each other, it seemed that the two of them had a good heart, and they must have thought of something.
Murong Xi was the first to speak: "Can you first go and check all the maidservants in Shangshu's Mansion to see if they have the characteristics that Elder Yin said." ”
Since no one in Shangshu Mansion was sent out of the mansion, even the slaves and maids were not sent to the Qinglou if they made mistakes. That means that the girl is still in Shangshu Mansion. None of the five young ladies are slaves, most likely slaves.
Lord Shangshu is really different from ordinary people, and he actually keeps his daughter by his side as a servant. Murong Xi couldn't help herself from losing her temper, she was really worried that she would rush to Shangshu Mansion to beat Lord Shangshu.
"Yes." After listening to Murong Xi's orders, the black-clothed man of the Yama Palace immediately left the palace.
"I hope I didn't guess wrong this time, otherwise it would ......," Murong Xi said in unimaginability.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that Elder Yin's daughter has already suffered an accident." Feng Mingye said what Murong Xi was unwilling to say.
Murong Xi was most worried about this result, so she was looking forward to the good news that the subordinates of the Yama Palace would bring back.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the people of the Yama Temple brought back the news. In the middle of the night, Murong Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and only fell asleep when it was just dawn. So, Feng Mingye came out alone to see the man in black.
The man in black said in a low voice: "Back to the master, there is already news from Shangshu Mansion." ”
"Tell me, did you find it?" Feng Mingye asked anxiously.
"Back to the master, the person has been found, but he was worried about startling the snake, so he didn't alarm her. However, we have arranged for someone to protect her. The man in black said respectfully.
"Well done, where the hell did you find her?" Feng Mingye asked curiously.
"She is the eldest maid next to Miss Shang Shu, and that Miss Shang Shu will be rude and willful, she will suffer, but she didn't expect that Miss Di of the Shang Shu family is good to her." The man in black told him about the inquiry.
In order to find out whether there was a mole behind the ears of all the maids in Shangshu Mansion, the people of Yama Hall arranged for many women to be placed in Shangshu Mansion. And after investigation, they found out that the eldest girl beside Miss Yan was the daughter of Elder Yin.
Murong Xi heard a sound outside, so he put on his clothes and walked out. She had heard the news that the man in black had just brought back. are also the daughters of Lord Shangshu, one is a high-ranking lady, and the other has become a servant girl.
"Lord Shangshu is really good at torturing people, and he really didn't treat her as his daughter." Murong Xi opened his mouth and said.
Feng Mingye sighed and asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Ah Ye, I want to go to Shangshu Mansion tonight." Murong Xi opened his mouth and said.
"Okay," Feng Mingye said.
Feng Mingye really knew Murong Xi too well, and since she heard Elder Yin's story, she had been very sympathetic to what happened to Elder Yin's mother and daughter. If Xi'er didn't go to Shangshu Mansion to confirm it in person, she would definitely not be at ease. Otherwise, when I went to bed last night, I wouldn't have tossed and turned.
After the man in black left, Murong Xi planned to go to the medicine room to visit Elder Yin. Feng Mingye naturally wouldn't let Murong Xi go to the pharmacy alone, and only went to the study after sending her to the door of the pharmacy.
As soon as Elder Yin saw Murong Xi, he asked anxiously, "Hades Princess, do you have her whereabouts?"
Elder Yin wanted to know his daughter's whereabouts, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. Because she is worried that something has happened to her daughter.
Murong Xi felt pity and said, "Elder Yin, don't worry, we have found your daughter. However, in order to avoid startling the snake, he sent someone to protect her secretly. Tonight, I will go to the palace to see for myself. ”
"Lord Shangshu actually left her in the palace? Didn't the people who investigated before come back and said that there was no daughter among the five young ladies? Elder Yin asked excitedly.
"Not really, but your child is really in Shangshu Mansion. Elder Yin, your body is too weak, I know you are worried about your daughter, but you also have to pay attention to your body. I've already arranged for someone to protect her, and when it's arranged, we'll bring them back. Murong Xi comforted.
"I know that what you promised me will be done, and with what you just said, I am relieved." Elder Yin muttered.
After comforting Elder Yin, Murong Xi checked her pulse again. Elder Yin's pulse didn't change much. Murong Xi knew that only by seeing her daughter with her own eyes could she recuperate with peace of mind.
Murong Xi placed Elder Yin in the side courtyard, so that it would be easier to take care of it.
In fact, in the past two days, Elder Yin has also drunk medicine on time, but heart disease still requires heart medicine, as long as it is confirmed that Elder Yin's daughter is safe, Elder Yin will recover faster.
"Xi'er, are you worried that Lord Shangshu will poison his daughter?" Feng Mingye thought for a while and said.
"I wouldn't be at ease if I didn't check it out myself. Moreover, Lord Shangshu is very deeply hidden. Back then, he had lived in the mountains with Elder Yin for more than two years, and he was afraid that he had already secretly learned the Gu Alchemy technique. Murong Xi muttered.
Murong Xi actually had some suspicions that Lord Shangshu was using Elder Yin's identity to cover himself, so he wanted to investigate it himself. Elder Yin is too cunning, if he hadn't found Elder Yin this time, he didn't know how much would have happened.
Feng Mingye didn't say much, because he knew that what Murong Xi decided to do well, it would not change easily.
In the middle of the night, the two of them changed into night clothes and prepared to set off. Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi's slightly bulging lower abdomen and smirked, Murong Xi asked, "What are you smirking at?"
Feng Mingye smirked and said, "I remembered that in the palace of Lin Feng Kingdom, you were also wearing a night clothes, but this time you were pregnant when you wore this clothes."
After Murong Xi listened to Feng Mingye's words, he also lowered his head and looked at his lower abdomen. She smiled sweetly, not knowing if it was a man or a woman in her stomach this time.
Murong Xi put some medicinal powder and pills in his arms, and Feng Mingye didn't agree with it, but he thought that Shangshu Mansion was indeed unsafe, so he simply didn't stop it.
The two of them stood outside the Shangshu Mansion and did not enter for a long time. Because Shangshu Mansion was heavily guarded, it was beyond Murong Xi's imagination. It's just that people who don't understand Gu alchemy can't see the problem of Shangshu Mansion at all.
"What's wrong, Xi'er?" Although Feng Mingye didn't see the problem, it can be seen that Murong Xi is so vigilant, and he knows that things must not be simple.
Murong Xi pulled Feng Mingye to hide, and said with a heavy face: "Lord Shangshu should already know that someone is investigating his daughter."
"You already know about it before you even enter the gate?" Feng Mingye asked suspiciously.
Murong Xi sighed and said, "If I really guessed correctly, Lord Shangshu may have already learned Gu alchemy." The surroundings of Shangshu Mansion, although there are no secret guards, look very peaceful. But in fact, there are Gu worms all around, and these Gu worms are like the secret guards in the palace. As soon as someone approached Shangshufu, they would notice it and poison it. ”
Feng Mingye understood Murong Xi's words. Because Murong Xi and Ji Limo had also used Gu worms to set up formations before.
It's just that he didn't expect that Lord Shangshu's alchemy technique would be so perfect. Fortunately, Xi'er reacted quickly, otherwise they would have found out.
"So what are we going to do next?" Feng Mingye frowned and asked.
"I took some medicinal powder before, and I had to sprinkle it on us before I went in to cover up the smell on our bodies." Murong Xi said in a low voice.
"I didn't expect Lord Shangshu to hide it deeply, and he was so treacherous. Xi'er, so the people of the Yama Hall have already been discovered by him? Feng Mingye said after thinking that something was wrong.
"Well, if the Gu Array had been laid before Elder Yin was arrested, our people would have been discovered a long time ago." Murong Xi analyzed.
"So, I'm afraid Elder Yin's daughter will be in danger?" Feng Mingye asked.
That's right, this is exactly what Murong Xi is worried about. If their people have already been discovered, the most likely thing is that they have been tricked by Lord Shangshu. Because the people of Shangshu Mansion were not opponents of the Yama Hall at all, he would not be so stupid. However, Elder Yin's daughter may be in danger.
"Let's go first and take a look, I'm afraid that the people of the Yama Hall have been arrested by him." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he sprinkled the medicinal powder on Feng Mingye and his body.
The two of them quickly went up to the roof of the Shangshu Mansion, and in the front yard, they saw the people of the Yama Hall tied to a big tree in the center of the courtyard. I saw that the two of them were scarred, and at first glance, they knew that they had undergone a severe torture.
Feng Mingye saw that his people were tied to a tree and couldn't be saved for the time being, and the joints of his fingers were pinched by himself.
Murong Xi knew that Feng Mingye was even more sad than being injured on his own body when he saw his subordinates being tortured. They can't afford to scare the snake now, or they will lose all their efforts.
She gently pinched Feng Mingye's hand to comfort him, telling him not to be impulsive.
Feng Mingye nodded, telling Murong Xi not to worry. Feng Mingye gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at the two people tied to the tree, then flew over the front yard and cast witchcraft to continue to search for the whereabouts of Lord Shangshu.
The Shangshu adults they found in the study, he seemed to be discussing something with the second son, and the second son didn't seem very happy, and it seemed that the two of them were still arguing.
I saw Lord Shangshu with a gloomy face, and said coldly to the second son: "Do you agree?"
"Father, the son has said it many times, and besides, I have made concessions before, and you should not take advantage of our previous relationship. So, I won't say yes this time. The second son frowned and said with some excitement.
