Chapter 18: Chance Encounters

"What do you say? You repeat? ”

Li Muyao listened to Murong Xi's request yesterday, and she always kept it in mind, and when she woke up early in the morning, she ordered the maid to go and collect coral blood.

The maid rarely saw her dignified young lady so angry, and she was inevitably a little afraid, "Miss, the slave and maid have searched carefully, and it is indeed gone-"

"How so?" Li Muyao got up suddenly, she didn't believe that the good coral blood was gone, why was it gone overnight?

She went to the storeroom to confirm that she didn't even see the shadow of coral blood.

If it weren't for the dust on the wooden shelves and the traces of the square box, she would have suspected that the Prime Minister's Mansion had never had coral blood.

Li Muyao was so angry that her teeth itched, "Murong Xi! It must be Murong Xi! ”

Before Murong Xi came to the door, the coral blood had been fine.

But after she came, the coral blood was gone?

Li Muyao would never believe in such a coincidence.

She squinted her apricot eyes and clenched her fists, "Prepare the car, go to the Shen Guogong Mansion!" ”

……

Jiang Huaiyin has not been in the palace these days, and Murong Xi is happy every day.

Coupled with the fact that the coral blood had arrived, Murong Xi felt that the air in the palace was much fresher.

On the sixth day, her mute was almost completely recovered, and there was a little more delicate tenderness in her voice.

The rust has not disappeared because of the bruises on his face, and he has not seen anyone for the past few days.

Today, Murong Xi was going to leave the house, and he appeared in front of Murong Xi for the first time.

He also wore a hood on his head.

Before Murong Xi boarded the carriage, he couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Rust is not good yet?" ”

The rusty figure was stunned, and he held back a sentence: "Thank you for your concern, the subordinates are almost fine." ”

"Hmm." Murong Xi nodded, not daring to continue, for fear that Rust would cry again.

Rust couldn't help but whisper, "Princess, next time you go to someone with a dog, can your subordinates not go?" ”

Murong Ji pretended to be angry, "No, you are my right-hand man, if you don't go, who will?" ”

"There is a sect called the Dark Night Gate on the rivers and lakes, which specializes in doing some shady things, as long as the money is enough, it is okay to kill people and set fires." Rust said bluntly that he was really afraid of dogs.

Murong Xi became serious, "Dark Night Gate? ”

"Yes, a killer organization." The egret came with a cloak in his hand and glared at Rust angrily.

His master is the regent.

The masters in the house are like clouds.

If you can't do a trivial thing, you still have to seek the power of the rivers and lakes?

There's no shame in that!

Rusty turned around aggrievedly, stopped talking, and concentrated on catching the car.

Murong Xi sat in the carriage and looked at the egret curiously, "That Dark Night Gate can really do anything?" ”

The egret bowed slightly, "That's the way." ”

"Oh!"

Bai Lu looked at Murong Xi's eyes and rolled, he didn't know what he was thinking, he endured it and endured it, but he still couldn't help but speak, "If the princess has something she wants to do, she doesn't have to look for the Dark Night Gate, just inform the prince." ”

"Huh."

Murong Ji chuckled with an unclear meaning.

Looking for Jiang Huaiyin, maybe it's okay in three months.

When the residual poison in his body was completely removed, Murong Xi dared to bet that Jiang Huaiyin would cross the river and tear down the bridge.

But for now, she's just curious about the Night Gate, and there's nothing she can do to need the Night Gate.

I didn't continue the conversation.

Without saying anything all the way, the carriage drove to the Chengdong Market, Rusty Rust tightened the reins, and asked Murong Xi: "Princess, it's here." ”

Murong Xi got out of the carriage, glanced at the Jishitang building standing in the downtown area, and told Rusty to find a place to stop and wait, grab the prepared fence, take the egret, and walk towards Jishitang.

As soon as he walked a few steps, a coquettish cheer came from behind him.

"Cousin?"

Murong Xi stopped and looked back, and a crimson shadow suddenly crashed into his eyes.

The girl happily ran to Murong Xi, grabbed her hand, and said kindly: "I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be a cousin!" ”

Murong Xi made a tactful and shy gesture, but she was thinking about the cousin in front of her.

Her name is Murong Xue, and she is the daughter of the second room of the Murong family.

As early as when the original owner's father was the marquis and worshiped the prime minister, he moved out of the Murong Mansion and separated from the Murong family.

The fire was ruthless, and the general's mansion was razed to the ground, but the ancestral house of the Murong family was safe, so it escaped.

The royal family not only took care of her, the orphan, but also promoted her with the blood of the Murong family.

Now the second uncle of the second room is already a squire in the military department, and his daughter Murong Xue is also a well-known lady in the Beijing circle.

It's justβ€”

The two of them have rarely gotten along since they were children, why are they so intimate?

Murong Xue wanted to stop, but Murong Xue pulled tighter.

"I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, Wang Fu Xue'er can't set foot in it, why didn't my cousin say that she came to Murong's house to have a look?"

Murong Xue's eyes were bright, and she smiled sweetly and sincerely, but Murong Xue still felt a trace of disgust.

Bai Lu took a step forward and said, "Miss Murong, there are many people on the street, and I also ask Miss Murong to pay attention to her words." ”

Murong Xue was slightly stunned, and her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, "Xue'er is used to calling her cousin, and she always thinks that calling her princess will give birth to points - cousin also blames me for not knowing proportions?" ”

Murong Xi pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, withdrew her arm, and pointed to the street, "Abba Aba? ”

She didn't know what she wanted to express, she just wanted Murong Xue to retreat from the difficulty, and not to talk so much nonsense with her as a "dumb person".

Murong Xue didn't even go to the Tao!

She hugged Murong Xi more affectionately, and her whole body was pasted, "Xue'er knows that her cousin won't care." ”

Murong Xi: !

She sneered in her heart, this Murong Xue is still a not simple character.

The inexplicable suspicion was even more confirmed.

Murong Xue was looking for her on purpose!

"By the way, cousin," as if to confirm Murong Xi's conjecture, Murong Xue said in a blink of an eye: "Cousin is here to the east of the city for something?" ”

Murong Xi wanted to see what tricks she was going to play, so she shook her head lightly.

Murong Xue was really happy, "That's right, I also have nothing to do, I want to buy some rouge, cousin, you have always had a good eye, why don't you go shopping with me?" ”

The egret wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to relieve Murong Xi.

Murong Xue took the initiative to hold Murong Xue as if nothing had happened, and smiled.

Things went too smoothly, Murong Xue was stunned for a moment, and quickly regained her smile.

"Great, just the one in front, let's go!"

It was just a very short moment, if it weren't for Murong Xi staring at her all the time, it would be difficult to find the slightest abnormality.

There are five rouge shops on this street, and Murong Xue only needs to take her to the designated one.

Murong Xue maintained a faint smile, almost being dragged into the shop by Murong Xue's arm.

The shop is very deserted, but the decoration is mottled.

It is not difficult to guess that the owner of the shop has some financial resources.

The shopkeeper sat at the counter with great interest and looked down at something, heard the movement and hurriedly got up, saw that it was Murong Xue, and glanced at Murong Xue on the side, and immediately smiled on his indifferent face, "Two girls, please." ”

Murong Xue was a little excited, and grabbed Murong Xi's arm fiercely, for fear that Murong Xi would turn around and run away, "Shopkeeper, this is my cousin, and she is the current princess regent." If you have any good things in your store, take them out and see them. ”

Murong Xi subconsciously touched her purse, shouldn't she be wronged by her?
