Murong Xue hummed lightly, put away the earrings, walked slowly to the mahogany table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. In an instant, the aroma of hot tea rushed over her face, making her feel refreshed.
Murong Xue felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable smell mixed in the tea fragrance, but when she smelled it carefully, she couldn't smell it again, as if the smell just now was just her illusion.
Murong Xue's beautiful willow eyebrows frowned slightly, did she smell it wrong
'thump! 'A dull voice came from outside the door, followed by Hongxiu's exclamation: "Hey, why did Xiaolan faint... come here... hurry up..." Before the last word was finished, Hong Xiu also closed his eyes, passed out...
"Plop, plop..." As if infected, a maid, nurse, servant, and guard fell to the ground one after another, and An Xiang, who was standing in front of the mahogany table, also passed out.
The huge Zhenguohou's Mansion fell silent instantly, and the servants were lying down in a disorderly manner, their eyes were closed tightly, unconscious, and a thick black air lingered between their brows, which looked very strange.
Murong Xue's cold eyes narrowed sharply: "They are... poisoned!"
"En!" Ouyang Shaochen nodded, put down his book, walked quickly to Murong Xue's side, and glanced at an unconscious servant with deep eyes: "The people of Zhen Guohou's mansion, except for the two of us, They are all poisoned!"
"What's going on here?" Murong Xue frowned tightly, well behaved, how could everyone in Zhen Guohou's mansion be poisoned: "Someone poisoned Zhen Guohou's mansion?"
"It should be." Ouyang Shaochen nodded, and his deep eyes swept across the unconscious maids, nurses, servants, and guards. They have different positions, things they do, places they pass by, and people they meet are completely different. The only thing in common is that they are all human beings, and they all need to eat and drink water: "The poison should be in the water..."
"Hehe, smart, the old man ordered someone to pour poison into the well of your Zhenguohou Mansion last night!" Accompanied by a majestic male voice, a man with gray hair and wearing a dark golden robe strode away. Come here, with sharp eyes, not angry and majestic.
"Who are you?" Murong Xue looked at the man coldly. He hated her so much that he wished to get rid of her, but in her memory, she had never seen this man.
"The former owner of Medicine King Valley." Old owner Huo paused every word, his gaze cold.
Murong Xue's eyes froze, he turned out to be Huo Huan's father, no wonder he poisoned everyone in the Marquis's residence, so he came to avenge his son: "What poison did you poison?"
"Colorless, odorless and highly poisonous, people will fall into a coma after being poisoned, and then die unconsciously in the coma." Master Huo Gu said lightly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, he raised his eyes and looked at Murong Snow, a faint surprise flashed in his eyes: "You are not poisoned, but it is beyond the old man's expectation..."
Murong Xue smiled, she woke up late, she just finished washing with the water she filled yesterday, and she hasn't had time to eat breakfast...
Master Huo Laogu came to inquire about the crime aggressively, and he was determined not to give up until he killed her. She was not afraid of fighting, but: "Huo Huan arrested patients in our capital and induced poison for Li Wan'er. Master Huo Laogu Do you know?"
"How do you know? So what if you don't know? Huan'er is the son of this old man, if you kill him, this old man will make you pay for it." Old Master Huo looked at Murong Xue coldly.
Murong Xue sneered, it seems that Old Master Huo came here to take revenge, he didn't care about Huo Huan's heinous mistakes, and he didn't want to pay attention to them at all.
That's right, Huo Huan is his son, Li Wan'er is his daughter-in-law, and she is pregnant with his golden grandson. He must know about the ice gu in Li Wan'er's body. He probably knew about Li Wan'er's tricking Gu, but he ignored it, obviously acquiescing to Huo Huan's actions...
"For the sake of you being a girl, this old man can let you choose a happy way to die. Tell me, how do you want to die?" Master Huo Laogu glanced coldly at the vital points of Murong Xue's body, It seemed that he was really going to kill her from some vital point.
"But what should I do if I don't want to die yet?" Murong Xue smiled slightly at Old Master Huo, with a little bit of teasing in her dark eyes.
"It's up to you." Master Huo Laogu said coldly, dozens of guards in black rushed out from behind him in an instant, and the long sword in his hand reflected the cold light in the sunlight.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite." Murong Xue said in a low voice, and pulled out the soft sword at her waist, the sharp blade reflected a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.
Master Huo looked at it, and the corner of his mouth curled up with undisguised contempt: "Only you, want to kill this old man?"
Murong Xue smiled slightly: "Only by myself, I can't kill Guzhu Huo who is protected by dozens of masters, but I have shadow guards..."
"Your shadow guards have been poisoned and will die at any moment. They can't help you anymore." Old Valley Master Huo interrupted her words unceremoniously, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of arrogance.
"That's not necessarily true. As long as I remove the poison from their bodies, they will be able to wake up and help me." Murong Xue said with a smile, squatted down, took out two silver needles, and pierced the backs of Hongxiu and Anxiang respectively. On the neck, gently twisting the silver needle and red sleeves, the faintly fragrant and slightly dark complexion gradually returned to its original fairness and ruddy, humming, and opened his eyes.
"This...how is this possible?" Master Huo's eyes widened in surprise: the poison that fell into the well of the Marquis of Zhen Guo was his unique poison, and no antidote has been developed yet, yet Murong Xue was able to cure it. gotta lose it...
"As long as it is poison, there will be a solution. It's so strange." Murong Xue said disapprovingly, walked to the side of the two guards, held a silver needle, and stuck it into their acupoints, slowly relieving the poison.
Seeing the complexion of the two guards getting better and better, Master Huo woke up like a dream, and ordered sharply: "Come here, kill Murong Xue!"
In order to cleverly get rid of the shadow guards, he spent a lot of energy, and he must not allow Murong Xue to wake everyone up again.
"Yes!" The guards of Yaowanggu took the order, and mercilessly swung their swords and stabbed towards Murong Xue.
Murong Xue curled her lips, and the aura around her suddenly became fierce. She rushed towards the guards of Yaowang Valley, flashes of cold light flashed by, and the long sword in Murong Xue's hand stabbed the guards mercilessly. On his neck and chest, streaks of scarlet blood rose...
A number of guards fell down one after another. Master Huo Laogu's face was ashen. She had some skills to kill so many guards. Unfortunately, her skills came to an end here.
