101 Behind the scenes
Early the next morning, Shangguan Erya and Zihan arrived in front of the second gate and prepared to go to the Martial Arts Academy, but the palace only arranged a carriage.
Seeing this, Zihan asked a little strangely: "Why is it just a carriage?" ”
The supervisor next to him hurriedly explained: "Please forgive the county lord, you and the Bingjie county lord will go to the academy today, so the princess said that you should have a companion on the road." ”
"Is Lord Bingjie already in the carriage?" Shangguan Erya asked with a sideways head.
"Yes."
Shangguan Erya smiled: "Since Zhi Tao doesn't mind, of course I'm willing to share a ride with her." ”
Zihan was just about to step forward, but Huanxi in the carriage took the first step to raise the curtain, and when he saw Shangguan Erya, he saluted in a proper manner: "Say hello to the county lord Erya." ”
In my impression, this joy is the first time that I have taken the initiative to salute myself.
Shangguan Erya smiled silently, always feeling that there was a strangeness today.
Entering the carriage, Zihan and Huanxi sat opposite each other at the door, and Shangguan Zhitao had already occupied the innermost corner, although the carriage was big enough, Shangguan Erya also had to sit side by side with her.
Shangguan Zhitao raised his eyelids and glanced at Shangguan Erya lightly, and moved inside without saying a word, leaving more space for the other party.
This Shangguan Erya was even more surprised, which was not like Shangguan Zhitao's style at all.
The carriage set off for Shilipu, and no one spoke in the carriage all the way.
Even Zihan saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Shangguan Zhitao twice, only to see that she had been half-squinting and pretending to sleep, as if she was very tired.
Shangguan Erya signaled to Zihan not to care, to make sure that the enemy does not move, I do not move!
It is impossible for human nature to change overnight.
But speaking of which, could it be that Richie did something to her yesterday?
Or did she meet someone else?
Or is it only the case that Li taught her by word and deed?
Shangguan Erya couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she couldn't have been reborn suddenly, right?
However, Shangguan Zhitao looked very good, and it didn't look like something major had happened.
The reason why I was calm was just trying to play a new trick!
She wants to see how long Shangguan Zhitao can endure!
A faint smile crossed the corner of Shangguan Erya's mouth, and she no longer cared about Shangguan Zhitao's strange appearance, she closed her eyes and began to think back to the medicine book she read last night.
Those medicine books were collected by Xuanji from the court and people of Shikoku, and there were many different kinds of medicines, and she had only read some of them, but there was one that caught her attention.
Gumo royal secret medicine records that there is a chronic poison called vine sniffin, only a few drops are added to the diet, can gradually penetrate into the human body, at first it will not be the same as ordinary people, but as time goes by, first vomiting, diarrhea, slowly begin to vomit blood, madness, to the most serious time the toxin will be soaked from the internal organs into the brain, the poisoned person will go crazy, willpower is completely uncontrollable.
The book says that this kind of poison will not cause death, but the poison period is very long, in order to slowly torture a person, not only to make him suffer, but also to let him kill his parents and lover with his own hands, torture his mind, and in the end, he can't stand this pain, and he has been suppressed in self-blame for a long time and actively seeks death.
When Shangguan Erya saw this poison, he subconsciously felt that Ji Xinian should have been infected with vine snacking, because this poison almost collected the characteristics of all poisons, and Ji Xinian's description to himself was also consistent with its symptoms.
But Ji Xinian's words were so light-hearted.
In fact, with Ji Xinian's power, it should not be difficult to find out that the poison in himself is vine kiss, and he didn't say it because of this poison...... There is no antidote.
There is no antidote!
Shangguan Erya's half-drooping eyes trembled slightly, now it's not to find out who poisoned her, as long as she thinks of the pain Ji Xinian has suffered over the years, her heart unconsciously tightens and empathizes!
Now the main thing is to find an antidote......
"Miss, it's here."
Zihan called softly beside him.
Shangguan Erya opened her eyes and saw Shangguan Zhitao, who had stepped out of the carriage, and looked back at herself.
His face was still expressionless, and he couldn't see any joy or anger.
Shangguan Erya didn't care too much, they came at just the right time, and the others had just arrived.
The two assistant teachers at the gate of the courtyard led everyone to the big venue, and at this time, the four teachers were already standing on the high platform and overlooking everyone.
When everyone arrived, Dongfang, the head of the courtyard, took the lead in speaking, "This time Xiu Mu, someone has already resigned, no matter what the reason, they have all been eliminated by the Martial Academy, and the rest of you will increase the intensity of training, and judge the excellent through the test, and I will also select an excellent person from among you to recommend to the imperial court." This honor will represent your entire family, and I believe that you are also highly expected by your family, so you need to work harder!"
Such encouraging words cheered everyone up, and no one had been elected to the imperial court for several sessions, so it seemed that this time they had hope.
The head of the court is right, entering the court as an official is the glory of the whole family.
Almost all the people who come here are burdened with this heavy responsibility.
Shangguan Erya took the lead in looking at the Jiang family brothers and sisters, the two of them were the representatives, the elder Jiang Ge took a back seat, and the queen mother was alone, they had to cultivate a successor.
As if sensing Shangguan Erya's gaze, Jiang Luoshao quickly looked over and looked at her, his expression was full of surprise and a little joy.
Shangguan Erya just nodded lightly, and his gaze didn't linger too much and looked at the others.
Jiang Yuran on the side said in a low voice: "Brother, she will be our biggest competitor." ”
Jiang Luoshao shook his head, "No, she is not here." ”
"Not necessarily, she's the easiest opponent to ignore but never to ignore, and we have to be careful if she really wants to fight for this position." Jiang Yuran paused, and said coldly: "So you can't underestimate her at any time, and you can't be soft-hearted." ”
Jiang Luoshao was silent after hearing this, he didn't want to be her enemy.
And Shangguan Erya really didn't care about this quota at all in her heart, she looked around and found that there were quite a few people who didn't come.
Only Ning Caiyun is left in the Fuguo Mansion!
Wang Lao Taijun knew Shangguan Erya's plan, this time Ning Lei was poisoned, Ning Chenjun naturally did not come, but wanted to concentrate on detoxification at home.
And Li Qi from the Feng'en Mansion didn't come!
This made Shangguan Erya a little surprised, she heard Li Xun behind her say to Ning Caiyun that it was because Li Qi was injured that he didn't come.
Wounded? Could it be that he was beaten by Shangguan Zhitao?
No, Shangguan Zhitao is definitely not Li Qi's opponent!
In addition, Shangguan Chunyan was also recuperating at home, and Ji Qing did not come.
Almost none of the remaining children of the Gaomen Wang clan on the big field are the opponents of the Jiang family's brothers and sisters, but Chen Shuo and Ji Cangzi are not easy to say.
Chen Shuo should not be rare, while Ji Cangzi does not need to fight.
Yuan Moxiao has always been by Ji Cangzi's side.
And the last Hai Murong is neither Ji Xinian nor Yu Yue!
Shangguan Erya swept by indifferently, and someone suddenly said beside her: "Eldest sister, our sisters should be united." ”
"Huh?" Shangguan Erya unexpectedly stirred up her voice.
What Shangguan Zhitao said made her scratch her head.
"I mean, don't you want to win glory for Prince Gong's Mansion?" Shangguan Zhitao looked at her with a serious face.
Shangguan Erya thought about it, "I don't want to be an official in the court." ”
In other words, she just doesn't want to win glory for Prince Gong's Mansion!
"That can't make anyone else see the joke!" Shangguan Zhitao's eyes widened angrily, "Look at how many people there are in the Martial Arts Academy now, they are not your opponents, even if you don't enter the court as an official, it will always be effortless to take the first place!" No matter how you say that we are also sisters, you have to be the first to win glory for the palace, which is good for everyone, so we will put aside our personal grievances and work together well. ”
Shangguan Erya always had a faint smile, watching Shangguan Zhitao's small mouth open and closed, and said in her heart that this lie was quite high-sounding.
At first glance, it was not something that Shangguan Zhitao could come up with.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you!" Shangguan Zhitao said with a righteous face.
Shangguan Erya smiled, "In that case, then I'll help my sister compete for this place, anyway, it's all for the glory of the palace, both of us are the same, and it's easier for me to help you than you to help me." ”
Shangguan Zhitao was stunned, but he was not discouraged, "But, sister, I really don't have that strength, and I think everyone regards you as a competitor." ”
"It's because they treat me as a competitor that they ignore you, and it's surprising that you become the first."
Shangguan Erya smiled and patted Shangguan Zhitao's shoulder, "My sister just said, since it is a matter of winning glory for the palace, don't shirk it, in comparison, I think my mother wants to see you promising, I am willing to give you the opportunity, rest assured, I will also help you!" ”
The corners of Shangguan Zhitao's mouth twitched, this slut is really cunning, and he is not fooled at all!
Don't think you're going to get rid of me!
Shangguan Zhitao said politely: "Only my sister deserves to get this place, if I become someone who is talked about, my sister should not shirk it, so it is decided." ”
Shangguan Erya smiled faintly, okay, she just saw what Shangguan Zhitao wanted to do!
It was late at night, and Shangguan Erya told Zihan what Shangguan Erya said during the day as a joke.
Zihan immediately said angrily: "Two days ago, we were still arrogant to us, and suddenly changed my temper and said that I would help the eldest lady compete for a place, who would believe it!" Sure enough, the dog can't change to eat, and she can't do it when we are three-year-olds! How can she have the face to say it! ”
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, but when she saw Shangguan Erya's indifferent expression, she asked, "Miss, aren't you angry at all?" ”
"Angry!" Shangguan Erya's eyes didn't leave the book, "I'm angry that she won't change her new tricks, but she is smarter than Yunzhu, and she didn't kneel down to apologize to me so directly, I just said that she was a little different today, it turned out to be an opportunity to show goodwill." ”
"Then you should demolish her!"
"It doesn't make sense, even if it is debunked, she still plays tricks. I just wanted to see who's behind her. ”
Zihan blinked, "Miss, are you saying that someone is giving the third lady a trick?" ”
The corners of Shangguan Erya's mouth twitched, "Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to think of those words with her brain." ”
Not only that, the mastermind behind the scenes must have promised Shangguan Erya benefits, otherwise she wouldn't be unprofitable!
The one behind that......
Shangguan Erya put down the book suddenly, and her eyes were cold.
It had to be him!
