Chapter 404 Mother and Child Gu

“Yes.”

Xie Jin took a sip of tea and said in a light voice: “Who planted the poison in you?”

“Yan Guo Guo Shi.”

Xie Jin raised his lips: “What kind of poison?”

“Mother-son poison.” Wei Wushuang said calmly, “The mother poison is in my mother’s body.”

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: “A small country has actually fallen to the point of controlling its son in this way?”

Wei Wushuang’s mother is the king’s woman after all. The national master must have planted the poison on them mother and son at the king’s instruction or with the king’s permission.

Otherwise, is this national master going to rebel?

Xie Jin sneered, his eyes fell on the young man’s face, and he casually hooked his fingers, as if calling a kitten or a puppy, “Come to me.”

Wei Wushuang lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to Xie Jin and knelt down, his posture extremely docile.

"It's not easy to raise a Gu. You must be very useful, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with this." Xie Jin smiled faintly, his eyes were sharp, "The Yan State Master planted a mother-child Gu in you, and Duanmu Yu sent you all the way to Dongling..."

The tip of the black deerskin boots lifted the boy's chin, and Xie Jin's voice was a bit bewitching: "Baby, tell me, what did they ask you to do in Dongling?"

Wei Wushuang raised his eyes, and his beautiful eyes like glass met the smiling eyes of the Ninth Master of the Xie Family. He was stunned and seemed to be absent-minded for a while: "Young Master..."

"Tell me, what did they ask you to do?"

"Use... use beauty as a weapon..." Before the boy finished speaking, a strand of blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes went black, and the whole person fell over without warning.

Xie Jin silently looked at the boy who was lying on the ground, raised the corner of his lips slightly, and said, "It's really an old trick."

Putting down the teacup, he stood up and slowly straightened his robe, and glanced at the boy who fainted on the ground, "Someone come."

A black-clothed figure flashed into the room outside the door, leaned down and knelt down, "Master."

"Take him back to his own room." Xie Jin's voice was lazy and slightly cold, "Master is an eyesore."

"Yes." The black-clothed shadow guard bowed his head and asked, "Should we call a doctor for him?"

"What doctor?" Xie Jin glanced at the boy who fell to the ground, "He won't die."

"Yes."

Xie Jin said nothing more and walked out.

"What have those people in the family done recently?" He started chatting, "Didn't you say you bribed the assassin? Why haven't I seen the assassin come to me?"

The black-clothed shadow guard behind him replied, "The assassin hired by the eldest son took the business and then turned it down."

"Turn it down?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why did you turn it down? Did you think the money was too little?"

"No." The shadow guard replied, "Because I was afraid of death, I didn't dare to take it."

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, and the corners of his lips raised a mocking arc: "Coward."

"But recently, Miss Seven has been getting closer to Miss Jia from Prince Jing's Mansion." The shadow guard reported, "Miss Seven took the initiative to approach Miss Jia with the instruction of the eldest son."

"Purpose?"

"It hasn't been revealed yet."

Xie Jin didn't speak, his expression was playful.

After standing alone in the courtyard for a while, he tilted his head and looked in a certain direction: "What is Master Chen doing?"

"Reading." Shadow Guard said, "Master Chen's health has almost recovered in the past two days. He stays in his room most of the time reading and rarely goes out."

"Let him come over."

"Yes."

It is really a turbulent time right now.

The Queen's coronation ceremony, the Regent was injured, envoys from other countries came to see the emperor, Xuanyuan Qi was going to get married, and there were those messy things in the Prince of Wei's mansion.

One thing after another, the real peace and tranquility may have to wait until the end of the New Year.

After a while, footsteps were heard.

The young man in plain white clothes followed the shadow guard and came to the courtyard. He bowed respectfully to Xie Jin: "Achen greets Master Jiu."

"No need to be polite." Xie Jin looked at his complexion. The young man's eyebrows were gentle and elegant, and it was pleasing to the eye. "You have been well taken care of these two days. You look more energetic than before."

"Thank you, Master Jiu."

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent." Xie Jin turned and walked out of Jin Garden, "Come with me."

Xuanyuan Chen was surprised. Questions emerged in his mind, but he said nothing and just followed Xie Jin quietly.

Since he entered the Xie Mansion, he understood the temper of Master Jiu Xie better than before. He said what he meant and didn't like others to disobey him. As long as he did everything according to his will, he would not make things difficult for people without reason. He seemed to be very easy to get along with.

Even for some of his occasional requests that were not too excessive, he could readily agree to them.

But if anyone displeased this ancestor, the end would usually not be very good.

Xuanyuan Chen had seen it with his own eyes.

On the third day of his visit to Xie's house, after the doctor applied medicine to his wounds, he politely sent the doctor out and walked outside Jinyuan Garden. He happened to meet Xie Ming, the uneducated second son of the Xie family. The other party thought that Xie Jin was not at home, and said some sarcastic and mocking words to Xuanyuan Chen, but Xie Jin happened to hear it.

Xuanyuan Chen clearly remembered Xie Ming's pale face at that time. When he saw Xie Jin, he looked as scared as if he saw a demon.

Xie Jiuye smiled like a spring breeze: "Second brother, this mouth really needs a lesson."

Xuanyuan Chen had never known how terrible a person could be when he said this with a smile, but he saw it that day.

The second son of the Xie family slapped his own mouth in front of so many servants. While doing so, he apologized, saying that he had a bad mouth and deserved to be beaten.

After ten slaps, the corners of his mouth were cracked, his cheeks were swollen, and he no longer looked arrogant and domineering. However, Xie Jin didn't ask him to stop, but Xie Ming didn't dare to stop, and kept beating until he stood aside. Xuanyuan Chen had the illusion that his cheeks were throbbing in pain, but he didn't even dare to ask for mercy.

He didn't know whether Xie Jin vented his anger on his behalf, or simply wanted to teach Xie Ming a lesson for the rude words, or whether he deliberately wanted Xuanyuan Chen to know what a cruel and ruthless person he was. , no one is not afraid of him.

Although he is also ruthless, Xie Jin's ruthlessness is different from Xuanyuan Yan's cruelty. If someone doesn't get into his hands, he has no interest in taking the initiative to find trouble for anyone. But if he commits suicide and gets into his hands, then I can only wish for good luck and pray that Master Jiu will be in a good mood that day.

"What are you thinking about?" After stepping out of the gate of the Xie family's residence, Xie Jin turned his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Chen, "Have you been worried about something recently?"

Xuanyuan Chen came back to his senses and slowly shook his head: "No."

"If you have any concerns, you can tell me directly. I have no grievances with you and will not embarrass you." Xie Jin said, "You don't have to be too nervous."

"I really have nothing to worry about. Thank you Master Jiu for your concern." Xuanyuan Chen smiled warmly, "Achen doesn't think about anything else except worrying about his mother."
