Chapter 5 Heaven-given fate

The palace maid seemed to be very sure that Xu Muhua could only be a fish on the chopping board. She threw her on the couch and left quickly. As soon as

she left, Xu Muhua began to frantically call her ghost brothers in a low voice: "Are the two ghost brothers here? If you are, please say a word! My brother is in trouble now, you can't just stand by and watch him die! Since I can hear you talking, it proves that we are destined to be together! Heaven-given fate, we must not let it down! Brother, brother?"

After being drugged, Xu Muhua could only lie on the couch in fear, with only her eyes constantly moving, trying to find her two ghost brothers.

Just when her eyes were tired and she had to stop to rest, she finally heard the two voices again, which were...

"Ghost brother? Who is she calling? There is a ghost here? Where, where?"

"You can't see the ghost even if there is one! Maybe she is talking nonsense, or she is just scared and talking nonsense!"

Xu Muhua quickly said: "It's you, I heard you chatting, just now in the hall, you said that someone put drugs in my cup!"

Well, maybe people who have become ghosts are unwilling to accept that they are ghosts, she can understand!

After a pause, Xu Muhua became nervous.

Could it be that he ran away?

"Brother, don't go. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda! You saved me, maybe you can have a good rebirth next time!"

Just after she finished speaking, she heard a slight puffing sound. She looked carefully and saw two little birds of unknown species flying to the shelf beside her and landing. The two pairs of round bird eyes stared at her and tilted their heads.

"Brother, is she talking about us?"

The bird on the left moved its wings and touched the one on the right.

"...It feels like she is talking about us. But she is a two-legged beast, she shouldn't be able to understand what we say?"

The bird-faced man was confused.

Xu Muhua was shocked and stunned. She opened and closed her mouth several times before squeezing out a few words: "You, you are birds..."

Where are her ghost brothers?

"Ah! She can really understand us, a monster! Brother, let's run!"

Xu Muhua's mouth twitched.

Who is more like a monster?

"If something happens to me, no one will be able to hear you talk in the future!"

The two birds that were about to fly out seemed to pause their wings in mid-air, then turned and flew back.

"Okay, since we are brothers, tell me how we can help you."

Look, this two-legged beast is useless, and she wants them to help her as birds, tsk!

Xu Muhua didn't know that she was despised by the two birds. After thinking about it, the only way now was to let them find an antidote quickly.

The two birds flew away quickly, and Xu Muhua was also trying hard to regain control of her body, but the effect was minimal, and she was so anxious that she was about to get angry.

Fortunately, the two birds were very powerful. After a while, they really brought the antidote for Xu Muhua to eat, and her body recovered quickly.

"Woman, why don't you go back?"

The woman's name made Xu Muhua silent for a while, and then asked: "Do you know who the palace maid belongs to? Why do you want to harm me?"

"Of course we know! There is nothing in this palace that we brothers don't know!"

Xu Muhua can see it clearly now. The two birds in front of her are green all over, with gray-white abdomen, a circle of white around the eyes, and a little red on both sides. They are not big in size. They landed on the flower branch, and their round bird eyes are looking at her.

"We have been through hardships together, so it's not too much to say that we are brothers, right? Now your brother is in trouble, you can't just stand by and watch!"

Xu Muhua established a relationship with the two birds without blushing.

The two birds seemed to look at each other, and one of them asked, "How do you want us to help you?"

Xu Muhua smiled, "Just tell me who wants to harm me and what you want to do!"

She will eat anything, but she won't eat losses!

For no reason, with no grudges, it's obvious that they want to kill her!

If she can tolerate this, is she still human?

"Is that so...but if we help you, what's the benefit for us?"

Xu Muhua was shocked, "What benefit can you, a bird, talk to me, a human? We are of different species!"

"You just said you were brothers, but now you turn your face against me!"

Cunning human!

Xu Muhua was actually ashamed for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, we are brothers of different races. We are brothers for a while, and we are brothers for life!"

"Then what benefits do you want? You tell me, I will definitely give it to you!"

She couldn't bribe the two birds?

The two birds put their heads together as if to discuss, and after a while they said: "Then let's have some honey!"

Xu Muhua seemed to see something dripping from the beaks of the two birds, shining.

"Okay! Enough honey!"

"Woman, wait here, we will be back soon!"

As expected, the two birds flew back soon and told the news they had found out.

Xu Muhua was furious when she heard it.

This was her first time entering the palace, and she had never offended anyone, so she was picking on the weak ones, right? Just because she is not the biological daughter of the Xu family, she was carefully chosen to be the scapegoat, right?

Xu Muhua understood the twists and turns in this after thinking carefully.

First of all, she is not the biological daughter of the Xu family, so being a scapegoat is perfect. Secondly, they can also take the opportunity to use this incident to suppress the Chengguo Mansion, killing two birds with one stone!

So, is it possible that the person behind the scenes is actually targeting the Chengguo Mansion?

After all, in the book, the ending of the Chengguo Mansion is not good.

A few years after the original owner died, the Chengguo Duke and the prince were defeated in a major battle, and both father and son died on the battlefield. What's more serious is that it was rumored afterwards that the failure of the battle was caused by the Chengguo Duke's misjudgment and command, which led to the loss of the border and the loss of several cities in Dayong.

Naturally, someone had to bear the consequences, and Duke Cheng's Mansion became the target of public criticism.

Therefore, everyone in the Chengguo Mansion was exiled thousands of miles away.

Xu Nan had an argument with someone on the way to exile and was accidentally beaten to death. The old lady died of illness, and Xu's mother did not make it to the place of exile and died on the way.
