concubines are respected

Chapter 78
While speaking, Doctor Tang strode out of the main room, came to the gate of the courtyard, raised his hand and opened the gate.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, a young man dressed in a moonlight gown and with a warm smile on his face stood in front of the gate with his head held high. When he saw Doctor Tang, he immediately clasped his fists and smiled and asked, "Brother Xuanyu, I'm being polite."

"Haha, brother Haotian, hurry up and talk in the courtyard." Doctor Tang laughed loudly, he seemed to be very familiar with Murong Haotian.

Suxian and Yanzi stepped out of the room, and when they saw that it was Annan Xiaohou Murong Haotian, an imperceptible surprise flashed in Suxian's eyes, and then thinking about the motive of this person to protect herself that night, her agile eyes suddenly Dim down.

"Since Doctor Tang has a distinguished guest, Suxian avoids it first." Suxian blessed her body, her expression became more indifferent, she deliberately didn't look at Murong Haotian, and walked to the side of the room.

"Miss Lin, stay here." Seeing that Suxian wanted to leave, Doctor Tang hurriedly said, "Brother Haotian and I have been friends for many years, and according to what I have said, the residence of the Marquis of Annan and the residence of Lin have a very close relationship, so Miss Lin does not have to avoid it." gone."

Murong Haotian accepted the words with a smile, "Xuanyu said brother is right, besides, on the day of concubine Yuan's visit, Haotian still has something unclear, and he needs to ask Miss Lin."

Murong Haotian was outspoken, and it seemed that he had no intention of hiding it from Doctor Tang.

Doctor Tang's expression was the same, he must have heard about what happened that night.Suxian's beautiful eyes turned around, she examined Murong Haotian's expression, and asked in a soft voice, "I wonder if there is anything that you don't understand, Master Hou?"

"Hehe, Ms. Lin, please come in and talk." Murong Haotian didn't speak, but raised his hand very gracefully, stretching towards the side room beside the main room.

Suxian gave a slight blessing, "Master Hou, please."

Seeing that Suxian no longer evaded, Murong Haotian laughed loudly, and took the lead to walk to the side room on the side of the main room, pushed open the door very skillfully and stepped in, it seems that he is already a frequent visitor here.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, only a simple couch, a square table, and a few rattan chairs.In the tray on the table, there is a pair of celadon flower tea set neatly arranged.

Murong Haotian stretched out his hand to check the outer wall of the teapot with the back of his hand, presumably to check if there is warm tea inside.

Doctor Tang, who followed closely behind, smiled calmly, "Brother Haotian, don't worry, Xuanyu knows that you will come to visit today, so he specially asked his disciples to make tea early and wait for it. It is just right to drink tea at this time." .”

"Hehe, brother Xuanyu, I'm sorry." Murong Haotian responded with a smile, picked up a celadon cup, filled it with tea, and placed it lightly in front of Suxian.Then he poured a cup for Dr. Tang and himself, sat down opposite Suxian, and sipped the drink very peacefully, with a satisfied look on his face.

Suxian had no intention of drinking tea, so she glanced sideways. Doctor Tang, who was sitting on the armchair, saw that he ignored the two of them, and just picked up the tea to himself, drinking it with gusto. He was deliberately giving the two of them a chance to talk.

Playing with the warm teacup with her slender fingers, she simply asked bluntly, "Doesn't Lord Hou have something to say?"

Murong Haotian put down the teacup, and asked seriously, "Haotian has something unknown. In the courtyard that night, Eunuch Hai led a search. You were in the inner room, how did you escape unscathed?"

Suxian had expected him to ask this question a long time ago, although she knew that he was not an enemy of the Lin family when talking to her father in advance, but Suxian was really reluctant and sent her cousin to secretly protect herself. Secrets were revealed to him.I had to say casually, "Your Majesty doesn't know, there is a corner door in the back garden of that courtyard, and there is a shortcut leading directly to the main courtyard outside the corner door. Suxian was in the inner room at that time, and when she heard Eunuch Hai's pressing, she was in a hurry. I went out through the window and left through the corner door in the back garden."

"Is there a corner door in the backyard?" Murong Haotian frowned and said to himself, his scrutinizing gaze met Suxian's eyes, facing Murong Haotian's question, Suxian met his gaze calmly, his eyes were as clear as a green pool Generally very transparent.

In fact, where is there any corner door in the backyard, everything is just Suxian's nonsense, An Nanhou only stayed in that courtyard for one night, so Suxian would just talk about it carefully.

But Suxian did not expect that Murong Haotian was extremely cautious in handling affairs, and would check carefully before and after every time he moved into a courtyard.Therefore, Murong Haotian is very clear in his heart whether there is a corner gate in the courtyard.

Even so, when Murong Haotian saw that Suxian had no intention of confessing, he knew that there must be something else hidden, so he didn't ask anymore, so he nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing that the other party didn't ask any more questions, Su Xian always felt that he had already understood everything.

When the two had different thoughts, Murong Haotian suddenly asked very abruptly, "Miss Lin, have you offended someone in the palace?"

"What? Why did Master Hou say that?" Suxian was at a loss, not understanding why he asked this question.

"Miss Ye Lin must have heard the truth when she was in the inner room. Eunuch Hai insisted on searching the inner room, and his attitude was extremely firm. From my point of view, it didn't look like he was searching for any assassin, but he seemed to be coming for you. Then when Eunuch Hai left, He even secretly reprimanded the little eunuch who accompanied him for reporting the wrong letter. Obviously, Eunuch Hai knew you were hiding in the courtyard at that time, so he dared to come and search so vigorously."

Murong Haotian confessed all the doubts in his heart, and finally said with a very concerned expression, "Miss Lin, if you have any problems with anyone in the palace, you can tell them directly, no matter how incompetent Haotian is, he will do his best to protect your safety .”

Murong Haotian didn't realize at all that his words were soft and his eyes were full of love and affection.

Dr. Tang, who sat on the side and did not speak, slightly raised the corners of his lips, stared at the pair of Bi people in front of him with deep eyes, nodded and smiled lightly.

Suxian was shocked when she heard the words. All along, she suspected that there was something strange about what happened that night, but she didn't have anything to do with Eunuch Hai. After all, he was a man in the palace and didn't know her before, so how could she harm herself for no reason.At this time, An Nanhou reminded Suxian that Eunuch Hai was quite suspicious.But, who is instigating Eunuch Hai to do this?
Suxian's mind was racing fast, knowing that she must cooperate with An Nanhou to solve the confusion, and she no longer concealed the information she had found out, "Master Hou, do you know why Ye Xueying fell into the water that night?"

"After returning to the palace, Concubine Yuan asked the third prince to investigate. Although Concubine Ye Yuan claimed that Xueying fell into the water after drinking, but according to the third prince afterwards, it was not the case. Xueying was fascinated by others. If you lose your mind, you will fall into the pond." Murong Haotian told Suxian what he knew.

Suxian nodded solemnly, "Yes, I also found out afterwards that Xue Yingnai was poisoned by a kind of poison, but I don't know what kind of poison is so powerful that even Xue Ying, who is so alert, lost his mind." Mind."

Murong Haotian didn't intend to hide Suxian, and said with a stern expression, "That day, Xueying was poisoned by the illusion of water. This poison is extremely ferocious. Anyone who is poisoned is extremely fond of water. They will enter it when they encounter water, until they drown and die." And the person who is poisoned will change his temperament drastically. Once someone approaches, he will definitely attack with all his strength. If you didn't resist with all your strength that night, the consequences would be disastrous. This medicine appeared in the palace many years ago, and the people have never heard of it. Many years ago A long time ago, one of the emperor's favorite concubines was killed because of this medicine. Since then, the emperor has decreed that if this medicine is found in that palace, he will be punished severely. Therefore, water illusion poisoning is an extremely taboo drug in the palace .”

"So that's how it is!" Suxian muttered to herself, and smiled coldly, "Hahaha! Unexpectedly, the people behind the scenes would praise Suxian so much that Suxian almost died because of it."

"But right now, I'm not sure, is this water phantom poison aimed at Xueying, or is it aimed at you, Miss Lin?" Murong Haotian said with a frown.

"This is exactly what I was wondering about." Suxian said in a broken voice, "Afterwards, I have found out why Haigong Guild searched the mansion that night. It was because there were rumors in the mansion that they saw a figure swaying by the pond. It is clear that as soon as I escaped from the pond, someone came towards the pond. Obviously, someone was watching from the dark, and I was struggling in the pond. The person who spread the rumors must be the one who wants to kill me. "

"Have you found out who made this statement?" Murong Haotian asked eagerly when he saw that he had a clue.

Suxian's face became more and more gloomy, "The person who spread the word is none other than the personal servant of the third aunt in my house."

"Her?!" Murong Haotian was slightly startled. Although he was not familiar with San Yiniang, he had acquainted with her several times.In my impression, San Yiniang is just an ordinary woman in the market who is not on the stage, jealous, competitive, and the ability to take advantage of small things is not a problem.But if it is said that she has any relationship with the powerful people in the palace, it is unbelievable.

"Master Hou doesn't believe that she has such abilities?" Suxian said with a mocking smile.

"Uh..." Murong Haotian hesitated to answer.

"Ah!" Suxian said quietly, "Don't say that Master Hou doesn't believe it, even Suxian doesn't believe it. But all kinds of evidence point to San Yiniang, and now I'm really a little confused."

Murong Haotian saw Suxian's expression of embarrassment, and quickly said, "Miss Lin, don't worry, this matter is related to your life. After Haotian returns, he will definitely send someone to investigate the details of the third lady of your mansion, so that no one will suffer any harm." Unjust injustice, of course, will not let any suspicious person go!"

"So Suxian thanked Lord Hou." A smile finally appeared on Suxian's face.

Such a faint smile caused Murong Haotian's ears to heat up. Looking at the pure as water, charming woman with two clouds flying on her cheeks, for a moment he felt as if he was in a dream.

"Cough, cough..." Doctor Tang on the side coughed lightly, waking Murong Haotian out of his dream, "Miss Lin, you and Brother Haotian are already so familiar, why bother to call each other Lord Marquis like this?" Birth. It's better to just call him by his first name and come here freely."

This remark caught Murong Hao Tianxia's heart, "Yes, brother Xuanyu is absolutely right. Miss Lin, don't be so cautious, just call Haotian by his real name in the future."

"This... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?" Suxian declined instinctively.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Murong Haotian wanted to say something more, but there was a doorman calling from outside the courtyard, and there were quite a few people outside the courtyard who heard the voice.

"Hey, it must be grandma and the others going up the mountain." Su Xian was slightly anxious, she didn't want to be seen, she and Murong Haotian were talking here.

While speaking, without waiting for Rong Murong Haotian to open his mouth, he hurriedly walked out. When he reached the door, he still turned around and said to Haotian, "Master Hou, you'd better stay in the room and don't come out."

This remark is not only like a request, but also like an order, Haotian smiled helplessly, nodded slightly, and obediently retreated.

Doctor Tang, who was sitting on one side, finally couldn't hold back his smile. He cast a mocking glance at Hao Tian, ​​shook his head, got up and walked out of the room with a big laugh, muttering to himself, "Since ancient times, there are many men Yinghao, Yinghao is sad for beauty! Hahaha..."
