Chapter 11138
Vision City.
Water pavilions.
Tang Xiaobao is relatively good in the Tang family. He can only eat and drink a little, but he has no knowledge or skills. At least there is not much that corrupts his character.
Most of the other young masters of the Tang family have corrupt characters.
Ming Xinshui took them backstage.
Bypassing this corridor, they entered the backyard.
There are independent pavilions here, more than thirty in total, and each one is inhabited by a famous beauty, while those who are less famous live in the large pavilion in front. It's a very obvious difference in treatment.
The pavilion where Hua Xiangyue lives is near the front.
No one usually lives here. I would rather leave it empty without anyone living there, and keep it for Hua Xiangyue.
The reason is very simple, not because of the special relationship between Hua Xiangyue and the boss behind Shuixie Pavilion, but because Hua Xiangyue can make money for Shuixie Pavilion.
"You three gentlemen, please come in."
A maid at the door said as tenderly as water.
This kind of service attitude and quality has never been experienced by Tang Xiaobao before, so his trip is really worthwhile.
“Is there anything wrong with there being so many of us?” Zi Yan whispered.
"Don't worry, it's no problem. According to the rules of Shuixie Pavilion, the invitee can bring a certain number of relatives and friends." Ming Xinshui shook her folding fan.
Zi Yan understood the implication of Ming Xinshui.
Most people may not receive invitations more than once in their lifetime. How can they bring others over to share it if they finally come once?
So, the real essence of Ming Xinshui being able to bring the two of them here lies in the special relationship between Ming Xinshui and Hua Xiangyue.
They went into the attic.
The floor of the attic is covered with stalls, all of which are high-end products.
It was hot outside, but when they stepped into the attic, they felt a sense of coolness.
"The girl is waiting for you on the second floor."
There is an open wing on the second floor, with a translucent screen blocking the front, and Hua Xiangyue is sitting behind the screen, with a wooden kite.
Then they came to the second floor and sat across from Hua Xiangyue.
There was melon and fruit tea on the coffee table, and Hua Xiangyue ordered people to remove the screen in front of them.
Zi Yan saw Hua Xiangyue up close and couldn't help but sigh. Some people are indeed the darlings of fate. Their natural appearance, temperament and charm make people's hearts sway. Even though she is a woman, she is not willing to Erase her beauty.
"You three gentlemen, please drink this cup together."
Hua Xiangyue smiled and immediately began to play the piano.
Her slender fingers were equipped with small finger cots, and she gently plucked the strings, like drops of clear spring.
Hua Xiangyue's conversational skills are very extraordinary. She can pick up topics about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can also talk about low-income people's market things.
Zi Yan and Ming Xinshui were okay, they were also very cultured people. Only Tang Xiaobao, since he came in, had basically not spoken and had completely become a background.
However, Tang Xiaobao didn't mean to complain. He was dazzled and completely fascinated by Hua Xiangyue's grace, so much so that he couldn't even speak even if he wanted to speak.
"That's it for today."
Ming Xinshui poured another glass of wine and raised the glass.
At this moment, Hua Xiangyue suddenly groaned, her face turned pale, a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her body fell softly to the side.
Zi Yan and Ming Xinshui reacted immediately, and they quickly ran towards the direction of Hua Xiangyue.
Arrived next to Hua Xiangyue, Zi Yan solemnly said: "You go around, I will check."
Ming Xinshui immediately went to patrol the surroundings, and Zi Yan stretched out his fingers to press On Hua Xiangyue's neck meridian.
Hua Xiangyue still had this weak heartbeat, and in this short period of time, she actually began to enter a state on the verge of death.
She quickly took out a jade bottle and poured out a light red pill. He forced the elixir into Hua Xiangyue's mouth, and then used his internal power to force it into her stomach.
This is a powerful life-saving elixir. As long as you don't die immediately, you can almost save your life.
"She has been poisoned, Brother Ming, go check around for any clues."
Zi Yan said coldly.
Ming Xinshui quickly patrolled the surrounding area.
"Except for a few maids, there are no traces of outsiders coming."
Ming Xinshui whispered.
"Go and deal with other matters. I think the maids nearby have noticed it."
Zi Yan warned.
The maids nearby were all sent away by Hua Xiangyue, which is the proper meaning of the title.
Generally, maids are not allowed to be around in situations like this.
The guests who come here are all carefully selected, and they have never had any problems so far.
So, Hua Xiangyue may not have thought that this would happen.
Zi Yan used her internal power to detect, and she had almost found out that there was no internal power in Hua Xiangyue's body, and there were no traces of martial arts practice.
The poison Hua Xiangyue was poisoned was so overbearing that even if she used the elixir Zi Yan carried with her to treat it, she could barely save her life, and even couldn't revive her.
In order not to disturb her body, Zi Yan had to give up the idea of taking Hua Xiangyue away from here.
Soon, Ming Xinshui came over with a woman in Tsing Yi.
When passing Tang Xiaobao, Ming Xinshui knocked him out with a palm...so that this guy wouldn't be an eyesore.
“Ouch, Xiangyue, what’s going on?”
The woman in Tsing Yi was the madam in front, and she was the most powerful subordinate of the boss behind the scenes. She was so frightened now that her fingers were trembling when she saw Hua Xiangyue's appearance.
"It's okay, arrange a room..."
Zi Yandao.
I don’t know what Ming Xinshui said to the old madam. When the old madam heard Zi Yan’s words, she did not refute, but quickly went to prepare the room.
Hua Xiangyue's room was in a nearby corner. After the old madam came back, she brought two more maids.
"Be careful."
Then Zi Yan began to instruct the old madam and asked her to carry Hua Xiangyue into the room.
Close the doors and windows, and purple smoke and clear water enter the room.
"Brother Ming, do you know who is the boss behind this waterside pavilion?" Zi Yan frowned.
"The original boss was Han Xiezi. Han Xiezi is gone, and now he should be the current city lord Nie Xinran." Ming Xin said.
"That's it."
Zi Yan finally understood.
This place actually belongs to Han Xiezi, and Han Xiezi's property essentially belongs to the city lord's palace. It was previously owned by the Yang family of Bozhou, but is now owned by the imperial court.
With such a large area and such a prime location, no wonder the waterside pavilions can be built. This would not have been possible without the full support of the government.
“There is no trace, just like poisoning out of thin air.”
Ming Xinshui's eyes were solemn.
"Let me think about it."
Zi Yan was pacing in the room. Now that Hua Xiangyue's situation has stabilized, the next step is to figure out why Hua Xiangyue was poisoned.
"What kind of medicine has Hua Xiangyue taken recently? In other words, what is her usual habit of taking medicine?"
Zi Yan asked.
