Chapter 79: It's just a little fun between brothers
Shangguan Nanfeng had a chilling aura, and saw the robbers kneeling on the ground, trembling.
"Hmph, useless trash!" Shangguan Nanfeng's face turned ugly after hearing what the leader said.
I arranged these thugs to carry out the robbery, and I specifically informed Shangguan Nanxing that I would not set out with him, and they could meet at Yuanyin Temple later.
He rushed over with a group of people to rescue the beauty, but he didn't expect that all he saw were several injured people, and Su Yue was nowhere to be seen.
"Sir, don't blame us. You said before that there were only a few servants. A dozen of us would be more than enough to deal with them. Who would have thought that there would be so many guards?"
The leader also had many knife wounds on his body, and his tone was quite aggrieved. He said that his brothers were just doing the job for money, but who would have thought that they would all get injured. The money they earned might not even be enough to cover the medical expenses.
"I don't want to hear any nonsense. It's useless!" Shangguan Nanfeng looked at the person kneeling beside him with a rather disgusted tone.
"Second brother, I didn't expect to meet you here?" A gentle voice came from a distance. Shangguan Nanfeng's face changed, and then he signaled the kneeling person to step back.
"Third brother, you came quite quickly." Shangguan Nanfeng put on a casual smile when he saw Shangguan Nanxing's carriage approaching.
"My second brother has made an appointment, so how can I, as his younger brother, neglect him? How about we go together?" Shangguan Nanxing of course noticed the figure retreating, his eyes slightly narrowed, but he didn't say anything.
"Let's go together, hahaha..." Seeing that he was invited, Shangguan Nanfeng no longer refused and got directly into Shangguan Nanxing's carriage. As soon as he entered the carriage, he smelled a smell of medicine.
His mind was moved, and he asked casually, "Third brother, your illness..."
Although he, the third brother, was deeply loved by his father, under normal circumstances, he would have basically no chance of becoming emperor.
But God treated him well, and let his third brother be born with a disease, so that he had the strength to compete for the throne!
Shangguan Nanxing seemed not to care. He poured two cups of hot tea and handed one to him.
"It's all old problems, second brother. It's cold and damp outside. Drink some tea to warm yourself up." After saying that, he drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.
Only after seeing Shangguan Nanxing drink the water did he take the teacup and drink it.
"Second brother, aren't you afraid that I will poison you?" Seeing him drink it, Shangguan Nanxing narrowed his eyes slightly, half serious and half joking. The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense.
"Uh..." Shangguan Nanfeng's face changed, but seeing the person in front of him looking at him jokingly, he didn't know what to say.
After all, he just watched the tea being poured from a teapot, and he saw Shangguan Nanxing drink it with his own eyes before he drank it himself.
"Third brother, you are joking. After all, we are blood relatives. Why bother to cook beans and burn bean pods?" Shangguan Nanfeng waved his hand pretending to be nonchalant, as if he didn't believe what he said.
Shangguan Nanxing smiled. His second brother was not stupid. He knew to use his father to put pressure on him. After all, they were all born by the emperor. If he really poisoned them, it would be difficult to explain to the emperor.
"Brother, I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously. However, I was really poisoned a few days ago, and I don't know who ordered it..."
Shangguan Nanxing looked at his already blackened face and deliberately mentioned the poisoning. After all, sooner or later the truth would come out.
"What? Is this true?!"
When Shangguan Nanfeng heard this, he slammed the cup in his hand on the table and said angrily, "Don't be afraid, third brother. I will report to my father tomorrow and ask the censor to come and conduct a thorough investigation."
He paused, then asked in a suspicious tone, "Third brother, you just said that the tea was poisoned. You don't suspect that I poisoned you and deliberately frightened me, do you?"
Shangguan Nanfeng and Shangguan Nanxing looked at each other, both of them with a bit of scrutiny in their eyes.
"Of course not. This is just a little joke from my younger brother. It's just a little fun between us brothers. Second brother, have you forgotten that when we were little, you often caught snakes to cheer me up because you saw me feeling depressed?"
Shangguan Nanxing was all smiles. When she was a child, she was not very sociable, so her second brother often scared and bullied her.
When I was a child, I was quite dependent on my father, and every time I was bullied, I would think of complaining to him.
However, Concubine Hui always used the reason of the little interest between brothers to persuade my father. Concubine Hui, the biological mother of my second brother, had always been favored by my father. Over time, my father began to become impatient.
And I am becoming more and more unfamiliar with my father.
"This... these are all things from our childhood. Why are you bringing this up?" Shangguan Nanfeng felt embarrassed when he heard him mention his childhood.
Indeed, compared to what he had just done when he threatened me with poisoning my tea, what I had done as a child was really excessive.
"Yes, those were all things from our childhood." Shangguan Nanxing took over the conversation, sighed, and stopped talking. Suddenly, the girl who stood in front of him and stood up for him flashed through his mind.
Shangguan Nanfeng was also quite embarrassed. He wanted to go to his own carriage, but couldn't find a reason. He felt that he was really rude and why did he agree to go to his carriage.
The two of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the carriage began to become a little weird.
Shangguan Nanxing deliberately mentioned that he was poisoned just to see the reaction of his second brother. After all, there is still no clue about the person who poisoned me. If I don’t find him, I will have to live in fear for the rest of my life.
In the previous life, I lost my life due to the accumulation of toxicity without my knowledge, and I didn’t even know who poisoned me when I died.
He suspected Shangguan Nanfeng, but judging from his reaction just now, it seemed that it was not him. Shangguan Nanxing turned the bone china water cup in his hand, staring, and wondering if there was any important clue that he had missed before.
Shangguan Nanfeng just sat there, wanting to reach Yuanyin Temple earlier than anyone else.
"Master, there seems to be a carriage ahead. Judging from the decoration, it seems to belong to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The voice of the servant outside came, not loud, but loud enough for the two people in the carriage to hear clearly.
Shangguan Nanfeng was drowsy at first, but he came to life after hearing the servant's words. This carriage in the Prime Minister's Mansion was probably Su Yue's.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion? What a coincidence, could it be that the second young lady of the Su family has also come to Yuanyin Temple?" Shangguan Nanfeng deliberately mentioned Su Yue, wanting to see Shangguan Nanxing's expression.
"Second brother, are you asking me? How would I know all this? It was you who invited me to this trip to Yuanyin Temple." Shangguan Nanxing's expression remained unchanged and he directly threw the question back.
Shangguan Nanfeng was speechless.
"Hey, Master, it seems that Miss Su is hiking. It's strange. It's rainy and the road is slippery. Why is she hiking? It looks like she has fallen down. Her gorgeous clothes seem to be dirty."
The servant's voice outside was heard again, and the expressions of the two brothers changed.
Miss Su, could it be Su Yue?
