Chapter 63 The Death of a Sister (8)
"I'm not reckless! You're reckless when you're dying!" The woman flung her hand away, turned her head and was about to leave, but saw Shangguanxi watching them and not speaking.

These two people are Pei Xiao and Pei Le who came to watch the play secretly.

Pei Le laughed awkwardly, then quickly stretched his hands towards Pei Xiao, and spoke decisively, "Sister Xi! I want to help you, but the old seven won't let me, he won't help me!"

Pei Xiao didn't have time to cover Pei Le's mouth, so she hurriedly pulled her hand off, and explained repeatedly, "It's not me, it's not me, it's the emperor who gave the order when he left, we have done so many mistakes, we are not allowed, that , Ah, Aunt Huang, are you alright?"

Pei Xiao changed the subject in a hurry, but Shangguan Xi's face remained calm, and after a while, he asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Ah? Ah! That uncle went to Hualou, no, it's Prince Qi's mansion for a drink, hehe, it's not too far away." Pei Xiao laughed all over his face, but his hands were sweaty.

Shangguan Xi was silent, nodded and said: "Then you go back, don't be discovered by the queen."

"Xi'er." Suddenly Jiang's voice came from behind, Shangguan Xi turned around and saw Jiang and Shangguan Xuerou walking in front of her.

Mrs. Jiang glanced behind Shangguanxi, Pei Xiao and Pei Le lowered their heads and said nothing, Mrs. Jiang pretended not to see her, and said to Shangguanxi, "It's good that you are fine, Qingyi Courtyard and my courtyard Get closer, the night is not peaceful, let's go together."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt, for your concern."

Shangguan Xi smiled, then ignored the two people behind him, turned around and left first, Jiang Shi took another look at Pei Xiao and the two, and then followed.

After going through a lot of turmoil, the night was eerily quiet again. Shangguan Xi didn't speak, but walked slowly step by step. The night wind seemed to carry a fishy smell in the air. A feeling of suffocation and nausea in the chest cavity.

"I'm surprised that you have such an ability at such a young age." Jiang suddenly said, her weak voice was a little erratic, and she could quickly blend into the night breeze, "In this Shangguan's mansion, there are capable people Only then can we survive, and the more people there are, the greater the ability will be.”

Shangguanxi raised his eyebrows and looked up at Jiang, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Si Yiniang is also a cautious person. She only made her intentions clear after seeing my strength from the sidelines a few times. Hehe, how can you be sure that me and you Is it just a person on a boat?"

"I have been observing you, but I have also secretly helped you a few times. In the mansion, there are many people who want you to die. You should hope that you have one more friend."

Shangguanxi chuckled a few times, and looked deeply into Jiang's eyes, "Actually, they're not friends either, just tell me what purpose Si Yiniang has, and I should consider whether or not to agree."

Jiang's complexion changed, she stared at Shangguan Xi with horrified eyes, and then powerlessly dismissed, "You are indeed a smart person, I am too confident. Cough..."

Before she finished speaking, she immediately coughed, and Shangguan Xuerou, who had been silent by her side, hurriedly handed over the handkerchief to Jiang Shi.

She coughed for a while, then raised her paler cheeks again, and said: "You can also see that I am weak and sick, and I am very old, so what purpose can I have, but Rou'er, she is the only one I can't worry about , I just want to arrange everything for her."

Jiang Shi seemed to really have no desires, and Shangguan Xuerou's hand was also tightened tightly.

Several people continued to walk forward, Shangguan Xi was silent for a while, and when he was about to speak, he saw bright light shining on the ground, she looked up, it turned out that she had arrived at the gate of Qingyu Courtyard, she paused He stepped forward and said softly: "I thought you would follow He Yu, and the family would go far away!"

"Ah!" Jiang Shi suddenly exclaimed, and looked at Shangguan Xi with wide eyes, too surprised to speak.Shangguan Xuerou didn't hear clearly, and looked at the two of them suspiciously with a pair of clear eyes.

Jiang gave Shangguan Xuerou a complicated look, and after a long time, she slowly opened her mouth: "Qingyi Courtyard hasn't been cleaned yet, if you don't mind, you can go to Qingyu Courtyard to rest for one night."

"It's better to obey than to be respectful."

Shangguan Xi smiled, very cooperative and didn't continue the topic just now.

The three of them entered the yard, and Jiang turned her head to Shangguan Xuerou who was beside her and said, "Rou'er, go and arrange the room yourself."

Shangguan Xuerou nodded obediently and walked away. Only then did Jiang look back at Shangguan Xi, with deep vigilance in his eyes, "Did you see it that night?"

"Don't worry, Fourth Aunt, I know what to say and what not to say."

Jiang Shi also calmed down at this time, she sneered, "Don't think that I am ashamed and afraid, what can I be afraid of at this time, there is nothing wrong with me and He Yu being in love with each other sincerely, I just don't want Rou'er Just being pointed out."

Shangguanxi looked at Mrs. Jiang silently for a while, and then said: "The fourth aunt's wish should be to entrust Shangguan Xuerou to me."

After she finished speaking, Jiang's eyes lit up suddenly, and she looked at Shangguan Xi full of expectation, but she sneered, and continued: "But Si Yiniang may have misjudged the person, I am not a good person, if you I have made up my mind that I can no longer protect Fourth Sister, so I should make arrangements for her as soon as possible, a weak person like her is not suitable to stay by my side."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the back room, leaving Mrs. Jiang alone shaking a few times in the night wind, with a few eager coughs faintly coming from behind.

That night, Shangguan Xi stayed in Qingyu courtyard, but he didn't sleep well all night.Early in the morning, Shangguan Xi woke up, and without waiting for Shangguan Shen and the others to give him an explanation, he left the Shangguan mansion alone.

In the morning, the sky has not yet opened, and the gray weather seems to have suppressed a mood, which is faintly waiting to be released.

Shangguanxi was walking on the deserted road, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the gate of Xian Wang's Mansion. She raised her head and was stunned, then thought that she was going to come to Pei Yu to ask for the golden toad, so she wanted to go back when she came. that is.

She easily flew in, and flew through the mansion for half a stick of incense, but did not find Pei Yu in the room. She frowned, stopped on the roof, and looked at the morning glow that was about to light up in the sky , thinking about where Pei Yu went.

Suddenly, she felt a hunting wind blowing up behind her. She was startled, and after realizing it, she quickly turned around to greet the figure that suddenly appeared behind her.

The man came at a gallop with a howling wind, but he didn't expect Shangguan Xi to greet him with his fist when he turned around. hands.

The slightly rough palm wrapped around Shangguan Xi's small fist, which was slightly numb but warm, but he just held it without making any more movements. Shangguan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then heard a chuckle above his head.

She raised her head, her smooth forehead seemed to have been rubbed against something, the fine friction and rough pain made her frown, looking up at the face in front of her, Shangguan Xi was a little dazed.
