Chapter 34: Midnight Comes
"Murong Gongzi has explained something to me, and he will stay here tonight." Feng Zi was silent for a moment and whispered to him.
The medicine slave's face remained unchanged, and his pupils did not wave, and as soon as Feng Ziwei's voice fell, he had already turned around slightly and walked away.
The sky was getting dark, and it was not long before the sky outside the house was already dark.
Feng Zi has been busy in the house, the soup in the cauldron is boiling, and the bitter smell of medicine is in the nose, which makes people cry and sick.
She forcibly endured, the shovel in her hand kept stirring back and forth in the pot, her forehead was covered with thin sweat, and she was exhausted all over her body.
After a busy day, my weak body was already unbearable, and my head was a little dizzy, weak and uncomfortable.
After a while, she put down the shovel, adjusted the fire slightly, and then sat down on a low stool beside her to rest.
Inside the house, there was silence, leaving the fire rattling, making the surroundings more and more silent.
I don't know how long it took, but in the calm atmosphere, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps from far and near.
Feng Zi suddenly came back to his senses, and his dizzy head was also instantly clear, and when he looked out of the door, he saw that in the night, there was a light faintly coming, and it was not long before a man with a long figure stepped into the house with a lantern.
That person, with a handsome face and a shallow smile, but his slender eyes were so hooked, he also looked sleek, inexplicably giving people a sense of banter and laziness.
Feng Ziqiang cheered up, sat upright, stared at him with cold eyes, and said, "What is Murong Gongzi doing here?" ”
She subconsciously asked, originally tired and dizzy, but also a little unconcealed vigilance.
The smile on Murong You's face was even stronger, but he didn't speak, he still walked forward slowly, straight towards Feng Zi, and when he finally stood in front of Feng Zi, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled evilly, "Ben Shao came all the way over, Xiao Feng'er didn't greet Ben Shao to sit down?" ”
Feng Zi raised her eyes and swept coldly at him, only to realize that he was holding a lantern in one hand and a bamboo box in the other, but the eyes staring at her were really playful, which made people have to guard against it.
Why did this man come at night?
At this point, Feng Zi's face sank for a while, but for a moment, she finally compromised and slowly stood up.
Murong You was not polite, he immediately stuffed the lantern in Feng Zi's hand, and then sat on Feng Zi's low stool, and then hooked his lips and smiled lazily, "Xiao Feng'er, go move a low table." ”
Feng Zi placed the lantern a little, stared at him indifferently, and said in a low voice: "If there is anything to do with Murong Gongzi, just order it directly, Feng Zi still has to boil medicine at this time, please forgive me, Feng Zi can't accompany Murong Gongzi more." ”
He chuckled twice, "Ben Shao came here, and he didn't come here to make trouble." You just turn the low table over. ”
Feng Zi frowned and looked at him coldly.
He looked at her lazily and softly, then smiled lazily, and said slowly: "Why does Xiao Feng'er need to be so vigilant? It's strange to say, King Li forced you to pit you, and even ordered you to learn flattery, but you are still respectful to him, how did you come to Ben Shao, didn't beat you, didn't scold you, didn't bully you, why didn't Xiaofeng'er treat Ben Shao like this? ”
As he spoke, his voice raised slightly, and he continued: "Speaking of which, Ben Shao is not a ruthless and ruthless person, those people are sophisticated, forgiving, benevolent, and righteous, but there is no shortage at all." ”
Is it?
Feng Zi really didn't agree with what he said.
This Murong You really doesn't lack anything, but he just lacks his heart. If anyone provokes him, all the big and small calculations will come, and who can stand it?
It's just that this person has a vicious mind, but he spares no effort to praise himself, and in doing so, he is also pretending to be ridiculous.
At this point, Feng Zi's eyes became more and more indifferent, seeing that he was still looking at him, lazy and soft, as if she wanted to insist on a silent confrontation with her, she finally forcibly pressed her mind, and then turned to the side and brought a low table in front of him, and said in a low voice: "The low table has been moved, what Murong Gongzi wants to do, it is clear that it is." ”
He chuckled twice, "Xiao Feng'er's temper really needs to be changed." Look at those girls in the Fengyue field, who is not as tender as water, crisp to the bones? ”
Feng Zi said coldly: "The woman on the Fengyue Field, Feng Zi has never seen it, so she can't answer Murong Gongzi's words. Feng Zi just knew that before dusk tomorrow, he had to configure several kinds of poisons ordered by Murong Gongzi, if not, Feng Zi would have no peace. ”
The corner of Murong You's eyes was slightly raised, and then he slowly put the bamboo box on the table, "How can Ben Shao be so unkind." Ben Shao also heard that Xiao Feng'er has been busy all day today, forgetting to sleep and eating, Xiao Feng'er can have such perseverance and determination to complete the things that Ben Shao explained, Ben Shao will never treat you badly. What's more, Ben Shao is also a kind-hearted person. ”
These words fell, and before Feng Zi could react, his slender fingertips moved slightly, and he lazily and slowly untied the lid of the bamboo box.
In an instant, the lights flickered and the house fell silent.
In the box, there were dishes and rice, and when Murong You brought out all the dishes in the bamboo box, Feng Zi saw that there were a total of three dishes, the meat and vegetables were appropriate, and the rice was also steaming slightly, as if it had not been out of the pot for a long time.
She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and looked at Murong You in a little surprise.
Murong You smiled softly, "I just brought it from the back kitchen, one meat and two vegetables, Xiao Feng'er will eat it while it's hot." ”
Feng Zi's pupils rose and fell, and he looked at him in a low and guarded manner, but he really didn't dare to sit down and move his chopsticks.
This Murong You has always been uneasy and kind to her, tonight, he will suddenly send food with kindness, if he said that he has changed his personality and become kind and harmless, she will not dare to believe it.
Feng Zi froze in place, and waited for a long time to be silent before he said in a low voice: "Tonight, what does Murong Gongzi want to do?" ”
He looked at her lazily, "What, Ben has done good once, can't you?" ”
As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly, his voice was raised, and he continued: "It is rare for Ben Shao to be diligent in delivering food to others, if Xiao Feng'er wants to refuse, she can't say it." Moreover, there has never been a precedent for being returned for this young gift, so that you have to eat this night's meal, and if you don't eat, you have to eat. ”
Feng Zi's face sank suddenly, "Murong Gongzi, is this difficult to be strong?" ”
Murong You's face was full of softness, and he said lazily, "You must obey Ben Shao's order, and although it is good to boil the decoction all night, you can't waste your meal." If not, if you faint from hunger, or starve to death, King Li's side will naturally have to talk to Ben Shao again. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the rice bowl on the table towards Feng Zi, "If you don't cause trouble for Ben Shao, Ben Shao won't be too embarrassed for you." People are all mutual, aren't they? ”
Feng Zi looked at him with a mixed face.
He withdrew his hand back, slowly straightened his hair and slightly wrinkled clothes, and then sat lazily, looking at Feng Zi with a pair of playful and leisurely eyes.
Feng Zi was helpless, and after her thoughts flipped for a long time, she finally found a low stool again, and then sat down at the low table, and began to reach out and hold the chopsticks, and eat slowly.
Today, she did forget to sleep and eat in order to boil pills, and even, she had already passed the most hungry time, and she didn't have much appetite at this time, and even this Murong You sat opposite and stared at her to eat, both her appetite and mood were greatly reduced.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room fell silent again, but for some reason, it was probably too quiet, and the surrounding atmosphere was slightly numb.
In the middle of the night, half of the rice in the Fengzi bowl had been cooked, she began to put down the bamboo chopsticks, and was about to get up, but before she could move, Murong You had already lazily spoken, "Finish eating." ”
The two words are full of interest and banter, but if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to hear the half of the threat in his tone.
Feng Zi's pupils shrank, and she raised her eyes to look at him.
He chuckled twice and said with interest: "It's rare that Xiao Feng'er can let down her guard against Ben Shao and eat the meals brought by Ben Shao." It's just that Xiao Feng'er has always thought that Ben Shao is uneasy and kind, so Ben Shao can't let Xiao Feng'er's words remain empty words, and he has to cooperate with your words. ”
Restless and kind?
Feng Zi's face changed suddenly, "What does Murong Gongzi mean by this?" ”
He seemed to be in good spirits, and he smiled wickedly and softly, which was really inadequate.
"What else can I mean, it's just that Xiao Feng'er didn't dare to get close to Ben Shao, and today she dared to eat what Ben Shao brought. Oh, Ben Shao, this person, has never suffered a loss, you eat a diet that is less, you have to test the poison for Ben Shao. ”
As he spoke, seeing that Feng Zi's face was getting more and more undulating, his voice was slightly raised, and he added slowly, "Xiao Feng'er, don't worry, the poison in this meal is a new poison that Ben Shao only refined yesterday, the toxicity is not strong, and it usually occurs after one night, and when it happens, it will not make you too hideous and uncomfortable, just bleeding from the seven orifices and ulcerating limbs, nothing happened, nothing happened." ”
The long words were said by him in a very lazy and casual voice, such an unstoppable and even arrogant attitude really made Feng Zi angry.
She has always known that this Murong You is not easy to provoke, and she has always been wary of him, and she did not dare to relax her guard, but unexpectedly, she was still calculated by him, and even this time, he drove her out of the palace, so he began to use crooked tricks against her, and she was going to be persecuted with poison, I have to say that this Murong You is really too cold.
Feng Zi looked at him coldly, and the gaze in his pupils also rose and fell due to anger.
"What the hell do you want to do!" The hand in his sleeve was also clenched into a fist, Feng Zi stared at him coldly, and spoke angrily.
Murong You was not angry or annoyed, his body was calm and warm, and his slender eyes were slightly raised, smiling at her with wicked interest, and then said slowly: "It's just a test of poison, why should Xiao Feng'er be angry." Besides, Xiao Feng'er, don't blame Ben Shao for treating you like this, you don't eat or drink today, in order to starve to death, in order to threaten Ben Shao, Ben Shao, you can't sit still, right? If you want to get the antidote, you will eat the remaining half of the bowl of rice, if you don't want to eat, or even want to confront Ben Shao, no matter what, the poison on your body is non-toxic and tasteless, except for Ben Shao, no one can find out in this world, if you are poisoned, Ben Shao, say that you died suddenly in front of King Li. Anyway, although the county lord of the Jokhang Regent Mansion is in full swing, he is a sick man who is alive and well, and this matter is known to the world, even if King Li suspects Ben Shao, he will not be too suspicious. ”
