Chapter 10: The Girl's Suspicions

And soon after, he looked at a girl wearing a goose-yellow white butterfly piping dress, and despite Anu's obstruction, she trotted in front of Shangguan Zixuan.

The golden sun shone on the girl's face, and she had a bright face for her age, thick dark eyes, a tall nose, and a small and delicate mouth. Or because of the trot, her breath was a little unstable, the tip of her nose was covered with crystal beads of sweat, and when she saw Shangguan Zixuan, her dark eyes flashed with thousands of brilliance, but when she saw Murong Xun beside him, the brilliance was instantly extinguished, and it was gradually dyed with mist.

The girl was proud, and even so, she straightened her back, and the mist in her eyes grew thicker, but there was a light smile of indifference on her lips. She just looked at Shangguan Zixuan, arrogant, stubborn, with a slight unwillingness.

"I heard you're back, did you still count the last time we bet?" The girl looked up at Shangguan Zixuan and sniffed slightly.

Shangguan Zixuan's eyes flashed a little disgust, he looked at the girl coldly, and his tone was cold, "Human life is not for you to play with, if you want the name of this miracle doctor, you just have to take it, with me, it is just a false name, but please remember that we medical practitioners take it as our responsibility to treat diseases and save people, and we learn medical skills, not to compete for fame and fortune!" ”

"But those people are death row inmates! They deserve to die, but I used them for experiments before they died. The girl bit her lip and argued.

Shangguan Zixuan frowned slightly, there were too many uncertain meanings in his eyes, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "No matter who they are, they have the dignity they should have in the world, even if they die, they should die with dignity." You can't deprive anyone of their right to live, you don't have that right. If you don't understand the word life, you won't be a doctor! ”

The girl sneered twice, "I don't have the power, but I have the ability." These words of yours should be very much my brother and father, my great good man! After speaking, her eyes glanced at Murong Xun coldly, waved her hand, her eyes flickered, and a few sneers condensed on her lips, "I will definitely win, I want you to admit defeat yourself!" ”

Until the girl turned to leave, there were still a few wisps of cold plum fragrance on the tip of Murong Xun's nose, and she couldn't help frowning. At this time, Shangguan Zixuan sent a pill to her, "She smoked in the air just now, this is the antidote!" ”

Murong Xun shook his head with a smile, and looked around the house with a smile, the burning house had been extinguished, the fire was not big, it was just a false alarm.

"I have lived in Zuo Xiangfu for seven days, my food, the water I drink, and even the clothes I wear, I am always on the lookout for poison, otherwise, do you think I can live to this day?"

Shangguan Zixuan looked at Murong Xun deeply, and could see that he was full of doubts, but he didn't ask. This is very similar to Murong Yao, he will not be confused about things that have an impact on his plan, but at different times, Murong Yao doesn't care, while Shangguan respects.

And Murong Xun likes this attitude, just as Murong Yao would not ask her why she had been there for eight years, why she didn't verify her identity, and why she already knew that there were people from King Qin around the inn.

"The girl just now is called Shangguan Yingxue, and her father and brother are both officials of the Criminal Department. In medicine, she is a genius! Shangguan Zixuan didn't take Murong Xun's words, but changed the topic, "However, she is more interested in poison arts." I learned from my grandfather, and I was able to detoxify all kinds of poisons when I was very young, and as my experience grew, there are very few poisons that I can't detoxify. But she just wanted to make a bet with me, betting that I couldn't solve the poison she developed, that is, to use the death row prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department for experiments, and this bet would be three years. ”

Sighing, Shangguan Zixuan said faintly: "I have seen with my own eyes the scene where those prisoners are tortured by poison and their death is worse than death, I don't like it, why is there such a disrespect for life, disregard for life, and trample on the dignity of life?" Even if a person has lost his dignity, it does not mean that he does not care about his dignity! ”

"But she seems to want to outperform you in more than just poison!" Murong Xun smiled faintly, "The authorities are fans, she wants to win actually your heart, she likes you!" ”

Shangguan Zixuan's face showed a layer of melancholy, his amber eyes revealed a faint dead silence, the golden sunlight sprinkled down, his eyelashes trembled slightly, casting an irregular shadow on his face. It's as if the warmth of the spring breeze that I once really felt was an illusion.

The two looked at each other without saying a word. After a long time, Shangguan Zixuan said self-deprecatingly: "I can't give her anything, forever!" ”

Cold Moon. Starlight is alienated. Begonia flowers do not sleep. The night breeze blew, and the petals flew down one by one, hitting the ground of the bluestone slab, as if covered with a thin blanket.

Murong Xun was dressed in a thin shirt and had a pale complexion.

The black figure fell behind her, as she expected. A seductive and ambiguous voice sounded, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Murong Xun didn't look back, "Of course! ”

"You know your master very well!" The Black Shadow said, "Then you should also know the fate of betraying the Wind Shadow Building!" He walked behind Murong Xun gently, like a cat, and whispered in her ear: "You are a smart woman, you should make the most correct choice!" ”

"What do you mean, Red Wing?" Murong Xun held his sideburns, and looked at the begonia flowers blooming in the yard with fluttering eyes.

The black-clothed man who was called Red Wing's good-looking obsidian-like eyes blinked, as if he was filled with starlight, "Deliberately let Shangguan Zixuan detect the poison on your body, saved the thief Li but did not clean up the corpse on the ground, as the best killer of the Wind Shadow Building, is this a mistake you will make?" ”

After a pause, Red Wing said again: "Listen, this is the master's last warning to you, if you still have different intentions, you will become the enemy of the Wind Shadow Tower!" He sneered and laughed, looking at Murong Xun, his voice was soft and ghostly, "Green Ear, I never thought that you would be so stupid as to want to break away from the Wind Shadow Building!" ”

"Is that what you're here for?" Murong Xun said lightly.

"One!" , Chiyi said, he took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Murong Xun, and said: "This is evidence of the Shangguan family's corruption and bribery, and it may help you again!" ”

Murong Xun took the account book, flipped through a few pages carefully in the dim light, her expression suddenly became solemn, she looked at the man in black in the room, and said, "These accounts are very detailed, and the deficit is very large, how did you get them?" ”

Chiyi smiled lowly, "These are nothing more than fur, they can't hurt the muscles and bones of the Shangguan family, even if it is a meeting gift from you to the Shangguan family!" ”

Murong Xun glanced at Chiyi, his dark eyes were full of too many uncertain meanings, but there was only a trace of ridicule left when he looked closely. Faintly looking away, cast his gaze into the deep and mysterious night sky. Everyone living in this world will always have some secrets that they are unwilling to confide in others, and they are the last protection in their hearts that they have carried and are unwilling to open in front of others' indifferent eyes. Even if it is pus and rotten, it is not willing to be exposed to people, hoping for the slightest mercy.

"Is it your intention or the master's meaning?" Murong Xun shook the account book in his hand and asked lightly.

"Is there a difference?" Red Wing walked into the window, looked through the window lattice, stopped on the cold moon on the horizon, the black night coat outlined his slender and straight body vividly, the moonlight gently sprinkled on his body, making him feel more sad and cold. This loneliness made Murong Xun feel strange, and she never seemed to really understand the man in front of her.

"Anyway, the final goal is the same!" Red Wing said lightly.

The sky was slightly bright, Murong Xun was awakened by the knock on the door outside, subconsciously got up, walked quickly to the window, and looked outside through the crack. I saw that in the hazy light, several people carried an unconscious person into the side room quickly, which was the place where he usually treated and saved people. And Shangguan Zixuan's moon-white robe was loosely draped over his shoulders, a few strands of sideburns were messily placed on his shoulders, his lips were pursed tightly, and there was a rare coldness and coldness in his consistently gentle expression.

Next to him stood a middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade dress, whispering something to him, and Shangguan Zixuan's expression became more and more cold as frost with the man's words.

Shangguan Zixuan opened his mouth to say something, and the middle-aged man stopped talking and looked at Shangguan Zixuan nervously. At this time, I saw Shangguan Zixuan beckoning to Anu, and made a few gestures to him, and the middle-aged man on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Shangguan Zixuan gratefully.

In less than a stick of incense, Shangguan Zixuan came out of the side room, but his expression did not show half relief. The unconscious man was carried out again, and several of them left in the same hurry as they came.

The middle-aged man walked at the end and seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Shangguan Zixuan waving his hand, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he also left with the person in front of him. Suddenly, only Shangguan Zixuan's lonely figure was left in the courtyard.

Murong Xun pushed the door out, his eyes flowed, and he slowly brushed over Shangguan Zixuan's body, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Shangguan Zixuan squeezed out a smile, just like the pine branches in early spring shaking off the snow, and reluctantly replied: "It's nothing, it's just that one person has been poisoned, just find me to detoxify!" Seeing that Shangguan Zixuan didn't want to talk about it, Murong Xun didn't ask any more.

At this time, Shangguan Zixuan's amber eyes glanced at Murong Xun and said, "I'm going to collect medicine later, will you go?" ”

Murong Xun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Zixuan, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

However, beyond Murong Xun's expectations, the place where Shangguan Zixuan collected medicine was actually in Fuxiang Mountain. Fuxiang Mountain is located in the west of Chang'an, and its status as a royal enclosure is what sets it apart from other mountains.

"This is the royal enclosure, and it is generally forbidden for ordinary people to go up the mountain, so some precious medicinal herbs can grow!" Shangguan Zixuan explained to Murong Xun who looked puzzled as he climbed.

"But why do you dare to break into here?" Murong Xun glanced up at the slightly towering mountain range, which was quiet, already a majestic momentum belonging to the royal family and the unattainable height of imperial power.
