love poison

The entire theater building was surrounded by guards from the Duke of Yue's mansion, and it was a fool's dream to want to leave. Xin Mu's face darkened, and she didn't want to stay any longer.

Xin Mu stood up, and Rong Hua also stood up and asked, "Aren't you...don't you try?"

Xin Mu didn't answer him, and went straight downstairs. At this moment, a commotion on the street attracted everyone's attention. Xin Mu also looked over, and saw a little girl with grass on her head being led by a middle-aged man. Kneeling on the side of the street and playing the piccolo, the girl was wearing Zhaoyue's clothes, and the piccolo in her hand was Zhaoyue's musical instrument. She was quite beautiful, surrounded by many frivolous rascals.

When Xin Mu saw the girl, her heart skipped a beat, not because of the girl's appearance, but because of the piccolo in her hand.

The appearance of the piccolo is very ordinary, even a little rough, but Xin Mu couldn't look away when he saw it the first time.

This piccolo is very much like the one given to him by his second brother.It was chipped by the second elder brother himself. The material is very ordinary and not worth much, but the heart is very heavy.

Xin Mu looked at it from a distance, and the more he looked, the more he felt like it, and his heart beat very fast. He didn't care about the people around him at all, and immediately ran downstairs, out of the crowd of onlookers, and was blocked by the crowd.

Rong Hua also followed, holding Xin Mu's hand behind him.

At this moment, the girl had stopped playing and was still kneeling. The middle-aged man beside her told the surrounding men very proudly: "Min'er is a citizen of Shenshan Mountain. Not to mention her appearance, she is also very proficient in dancing and music. But it cost a lot of money to buy, it can't be any cheaper. Take a good look, gentlemen, Min'er is definitely worth the price."

Just as he was talking, someone stretched out his hand and grabbed Min'er's arm, and said with a big smile, "What's the use of looking good, if you get sick, you'll be in trouble. I have to see if she's clean."

Min'er screamed, the man became more and more excited, and tore off Min'er's sleeve with force, revealing a large white arm, and the people around laughed wantonly, and immediately wanted to tear off her other sleeve , The middle-aged man can't stop it at all.

Xin Mu shook off Rong Hua's hand, rushed into the crowd, pushed those men away forcefully, and said loudly, "Stop!"

"Who are you, you, can you control me!" The man was angry, raised his hand and pushed Xin Mu, just in time to touch the bamboo hat that Xin Mu was wearing on his head, the bamboo hat was knocked off instantly, and Xin Mu's face was exposed After coming out, the onlookers were immediately stunned by Xin Mu's appearance, the surroundings were suddenly quiet, and everyone stared blankly at Xin Mu.

Just when the group of people were in a daze, Ronghua let out an irritable low growl, followed from behind, picked up a person with one hand and threw it out. After a few screams, he placed the people blocking Xin Mu, and was immediately caught by the crowd. Rong Hua was thrown far away, lying on the side of the street in disarray and howling.

A lot of people who had been huddled together dispersed in an instant, Rong Hua looked at those rascals in disgust, without saying a word, waved, and a dozen or so guards in plain clothes rushed out.

Although he didn't wear an official uniform, there was no one in Yuezhou who didn't know Rong Hua. Just now he deliberately avoided seeing his face, but now he didn't hide anymore, and was spotted by others.Someone shouted "Grandpa", and the onlookers hurriedly avoided. The street that was still busy just now became much quieter in an instant.

Min'er looked timid, and shivered and hid behind Xin Mu. Xin Mu took off his coat and put it on her, letting her lean close to him.

Xin Mu is a little confused now.

He carefully looked at the piccolo in the girl's hand, and finally confirmed that it was the one made by his second brother.When he left Zhaoyue, he didn't take anything with him, the piccolo was placed by his bedside.

Xin Mu's heart was beating non-stop, and his hands were trembling, not daring to touch the piccolo.

The middle-aged man saluted in a flustered manner: "Master, don't, don't fight... You're just a little slave, don't fight, don't fight, just talk if you have something to say."

Xin Mu turned to stare at the middle-aged man, and asked, "How much?"

The middle-aged man said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive... ten taels of silver, no... the Duke wants this girl, so naturally he doesn't need... no money."

Xin Mu didn't have ten cents on him, he hesitated for a while, and raised his hand to remove the jade belt on his waist, Rong Hua quickly stopped him and said, "Let me come, I have brought silver."

Xin Mu didn't want to argue with Rong Hua at the moment, and stood quietly aside.

At least at this moment, Xin Mu didn't treat her as nothing. Rong Hua was overjoyed, and took out the money bag and threw it to the man. He took it over and gave it to Xin Mu.

Xin Mu's face remained unchanged, and she said to Min'er according to the contract of sale: "Come with me."

Then Xin Mu took Min'er into the carriage, Rong Hua didn't object, but he quickly followed, the three of them were in the carriage, although Xin Mu had many doubts in his heart, he couldn't ask at this moment, Until he returned to the Duke's Mansion of Yue State and the Hongyi Courtyard, Rong Hua dawdled for a long time, lingering for a long time before leaving.

Maintaining his composure on the surface, Xin Mu led Min'er into the flower hall, then he dismissed all the maids and servants, closed the doors and windows, and stared at Min'er without saying a word.

Min'er knelt down at Xin Mu's feet slowly, raised her hands, put the piccolo on top of her head, and said in Chinese: "Min'er thank you, sir, from now on Min'er will belong to you."

Xin Mu took the piccolo, and Min Er kept staring at him. It took Xin Mu a moment to realize that Min Er was not an ordinary little slave who was sold.She did it on purpose, and even the man who set up the ring to play chess was part of the plan, which was to let Xin Mu appear in front of Xin Mu with this piccolo, and let Xin Mu buy her.

Xin Mu's lips trembled, and she said to Min'er in the long-lost Zhaoyue language: "It's the second brother..."

Min'er raised a finger to her lips and pointed out the window.

Xin Mu continued to speak in Zhaoyue language: "The people serving in this yard don't understand Zhaoyue language, so it's okay to eavesdrop, just tell me."

Min'er touched her head to the ground, kowtowed again, and then whispered to Xin Mu in Zhaoyue language: "Your Highness, this servant served the late king in the past, and I met you before, do you remember? I came to see you at the order of your majesty, Your Highness, are you alright?"

Naturally, Xin Mu didn't remember this little servant girl. He shook his head and rubbed the piccolo with both hands. He felt his throat hurt and couldn't speak a word. After a long time, Xin Mu walked slowly to the table and leaned on the wooden chair. armrest to sit down.

Min'er followed and continued: "Actually, we arrived in Yuezhou a few months ago and have been inquiring about you. After knowing that you have been publicized by Yuezhou, we have been trying to contact you. This time... I finally found you, you have lost a lot of weight, if your lord knows about it, you will be very distressed..."

With red eyes, Xin Mu finally spoke, "Second brother... is everything okay?"

"Your Majesty is fine...it's just that the night hunting priest is still recovering from the injury he suffered a few days ago."

"What, the second brother is injured?" Xin Mu panicked for a moment, and said, "I don't even know... I don't know... How is the second brother now?"

"You never knew? Both the emperor of Zhaoyue and the Duke of Yue sent letters, you...you didn't know?" Min'er looked at Xin Mu in surprise.

Xin Mu quickly shook his head, and asked anxiously, "What happened to the second brother? Is he in danger?"

"No, it's almost recovered." Min'er stared at Xin Mu, and asked tentatively, "Do you know nothing about Zhaoyue? You haven't heard anything about Junshang. ?"

"No, the people here never let me know about Zhaoyue." Xin Mu held on to the piccolo, full of worries about Mu En.

Min'er stared at Xin Mu for a while, then secretly thought for a while, and in a very short time, she made up her mind and decided to hide the matter of Mu En's marriage.

Min Er lowered her voice without changing her face, and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has always missed you very much. After knowing that you were locked up, he began to think of ways to save you. Today's plan is to rescue you under the theater building." , but Yue Guogong has been following you, we dare not act rashly. Don't worry, we are thinking of a way, and we will rescue you as soon as possible!"

"It can't...it can't be because of me..." Xin Mu couldn't help but wanted to escape, but his rationality told him that Zhaoyue is a vassal state of Dasheng, and it can't be because he is openly hostile to the Duke of Yue.

Min'er seemed to see Xin Mu's concerns, and continued: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, we will find a way, so that Duke Yue won't find out that he is related to Junshang, what you have to do now is to make sure Take care of your body, Your Highness, you must hold on and endure for a few more days."

Thousands of thoughts weighed heavily on Xin Mu's head, he seemed unable to speak, and sat blankly.

"Someone is here." Min'er stood up, and turned into that timid little slave again.

Xin Mu sat up straight, walked to the door and opened it.

Sure enough, someone came, it was the maid who used to serve Xin Mu, she was smiling, she looked cute, she approached and saluted: "My lord, what do you want to eat for dinner today, this servant is preparing, if you want to eat Yes, let the servants know."

Xin Mu was not in the right mood, his face was very pale, and he didn't immediately answer the maid's words.But he is usually so cold, the maid didn't notice the difference.

Xin Mu regained her sense as soon as possible, and said in her usual cold voice: "Take Min'er, change her into clean clothes, let her cook dinner, I want to eat some Zhaoyue's dishes."

The maid obeyed obediently, and took Min'er away, and then the servants who watched in twos and threes appeared around again.

Xin Mu looked at these people, without showing any expression, turned around and went back to the bedroom, and picked up the chess record again.

But Xin Mu really didn't read the contents of that book at all.

His heart has been completely messed up.

After entering the mansion, Min'er quickly adapted to the status of a maid, being very honest and responsible, and soon won the trust of the servants in Hongyi Court.Besides, she was only responsible for serving Xin Mu's food every day, and she didn't even have any extra words. Her arrival did not bring about any changes.

She never blatantly told Xin Mu to leave, but occasionally when she was not being noticed, she would secretly tell Xin Mu that she must hold on.

Min'er has been in the mansion for ten days, and nothing seems to have changed, but Xin Mu can somehow feel that she is planning.

Xin Mu was restless, and became more indifferent to Rong Hua. Seeing this situation, Rong Hua came more often, so that he had to eat three meals a day with Xin Mu.

This evening, Rong Hua did not come to Hongyi Courtyard because of something in the barracks. Taking advantage of his absence, Min'er secretly said to Xin Mu in Zhaoyue language while serving the meal: "Your Highness, three days later, when the night is ugly."

After hearing this, Xin Mu's heart began to beat faster again, and he turned his head to look at Min'er calmly, only to see that she still had the low-browed and pleasing look of a little slave on her face.

Xin Mu collected herself and continued to eat with a blank expression.
