Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 702: Assassination (2)
"Only by answering the question correctly can there be a revolving door. I don't know what kind of problem it will be..."

A wave of heated discussions came to her ears, Mu Yutang blinked her eyes, and dragged Xiao Qingyu to the high platform leisurely.

Xiao Qingyu glanced at the revolving lantern on the high platform, and said casually: "Although the revolving lantern is rare, it is not unique. There is one in the storeroom of Prince Qi's Mansion. If you like it, I will let them find it when I go back and put it by the bedside."

"I went to the high platform not only for the revolving door, but also to join in the fun. Don't you think it's interesting to bet on the people who get the exam questions with the revolving door?" Mu Yutang said with a smile, standing behind the crowd, watching the high platform from a distance .

Seeing Mu Yutang staring at the revolving lantern without blinking, without even giving him a second glance, Xiao Qingyu's handsome face sank slightly, could it be that a kid from a rich family was having fun with the revolving lantern, he really didn't think there was anything wrong with it. what fun!

The middle-aged man looked at the large number of young men and women gathered under the high platform, his eyes narrowed into a smile, he cleared his throat, and raised his voice: "Listen up, everyone, my son's question is: What animal has four legs in the morning and two legs at noon?" One leg, three legs at night!"

Uh... The gifted and beautiful people were stunned. The legs of animals are all pre-determined. How many legs are born and how many are still when they die. How can the number change in a day?
Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, the middle-aged man chuckled: "You don't have to doubt, there is indeed such an animal in the world, think about it carefully!"

Revolving lanterns are rare in the world, and this question is also weird, which is a test of people's wisdom. The talented and beautiful people sighed softly, frowning and thinking about the answer, half of the street was quiet, and there was no sound.

Mu Yutang smiled lightly, the gifted scholars and beauties in front of the high stage didn't seem to know the answer, and she also liked the revolving lantern very much, so you're welcome.

"It's a person!" Two soft and beautiful voices sounded at the same time, one came from Mu Yutang, and the other came from a woman three meters away. The woman was dressed in white, with a slender figure, a beautiful face, and an indifferent temperament. Bai Qian'er, the Saintess of Poison Medicine Valley, she walked slowly step by step, and the breeze blew her snow-colored skirt, so elegant and dusty, she was not like ordinary people!

Everyone stared blankly, and it took a long time before they came back to their senses, blinked unnaturally, and asked in bewilderment: "Why is it a human?"

"When people are young, they crawl and walk. They use both hands and feet. They have four legs. When they grow up, they walk with two legs upright. When they get old, their bodies are inconvenient. If they need a crutch, they will have three legs." Bai Xian'er's cold voice Ethereal and melodious.

"That's right, the girl's explanation is reasonable, and the answer to this question is people." The middle-aged man said with a smile, and when he saw Mu Yutang, his bright smile shrank slightly, and he said in embarrassment: "Both girls answered the question correctly. , but there is only one revolving lantern, what should we do?"

Everyone followed his gaze and saw Mu Yutang. Her eyes were clear and cold, and her small face was beautiful, like a red plum blossoming in the wind in the snow. How expensive!
"Who is that woman? She has a beautiful face and a fresh and noble temperament, which is rare in the world!"

"Keep your eyes open to see clearly that she is wearing a woman's bun, and the famous flower has its own owner, so don't think about it anymore."

"Just inquire, we don't know the name of such an out-of-this-world woman, isn't it a pity!"

Smiling discussions spread to the ears, Bai Xian'er's beautiful face was pale and bloodless, the hands under the sleeves were tightly clenched, the white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, little drops of blood ooze out!
Mu Yutang followed her beautiful skirt, and saw her shoes. The embroidered shoes of Shu embroidery were exquisitely crafted, with a big pearl embedded on the toe, rich and glorious. Twisted his toes: "Give that revolving lantern to Miss Bai!"

Bai Xian'er raised her head sharply, her cold eyes were like sharp knives, she shot at Mu Yutang fiercely, and said word by word: "Mu Yutang, I don't need your pity, give me alms."

Mu Yutang looked at the sky speechlessly: "This is not a charity, but your answer was half a second earlier than mine. If you follow the first-come-first-served basis, the revolving door should be yours."

"But why do I feel that the answers of the two of us were spoken together?" Bai Qian'er glanced coldly at the people in front of the high platform, and said coldly: "The wits and beauties in the middle of the street also heard this. Kind of an answer."

The wits and beauties nodded. The female voices they heard were indeed speaking at the same time, and they didn't feel that anyone was in front and someone was behind.

Mu Yutang stroked her forehead helplessly. She went to the street this time to enjoy the Lantern Festival lanterns. She didn't want to argue with others, and she took the initiative to give up the revolving lanterns. She didn't want to cause trouble and affect her mood. She didn't expect Bai Xianer to be stubborn: "Then what do you want?" how?"

"You, I'll try another question. Whoever wins will go to the revolving door!" Bai Qian'er paused, her eyes icy cold.

As expected of the Holy Maiden of Poison Medicine Valley, she is really arrogant, she refuses to take what others give her, and insists on dragging her to another match, trying to beat her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I have something to do now, and I don't have time to compete with you. Let me go." Bai Qian'er wanted to compare her intentions, but Mu Yutang had no intention of fighting.

Seeing Mu Yutang turn around to leave, Bai Qian'er's eyes were fixed, and she rushed to catch up, stretching out her arms to stop Mu Yutang: "Mu Yutang, stop!"

Mu Yutang's snowy eyes narrowed slightly, she waved open her outstretched arm, and said angrily, "Bai Xian'er, you should stop when it's too late, I don't want to reinvent the wheel, it's my freedom, you have no right to ask, if you don't want it, sir But as soon as I left, let people find a new owner for the revolving lantern, why are you pestering me?"

Bai Xian'er was caught off guard, staggered back a few steps, and slammed into the high platform. Heartbreaking pain spread from her back. Her beautiful face was slightly distorted, and the pupils of her eyes were full of pain!
She pestered Mu Yutang because Mu Yutang had seen her in the most embarrassing state. She wanted to win against Mu Yutang, because she wanted to see Mu Yutang's embarrassment with her own eyes, and win the round!With Mu Yutang in front of her, she no longer has the capital to be arrogant!
"Xian'er!" A surprised call sounded, and Song Rufan hurried over, looking at her pale and bloodless face, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he reached out to help her gently: "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry about it!" Bai Xian'er mercilessly opened Song Rufan's outstretched arm, and a cold light flickered in her cold eyes.

Song Ruyan stepped forward, glared at Bai Xian'er, and said angrily, "Bai Xian'er, my brother helped you because he cared about you. Don't be so kind as to treat yourself like a donkey."

Bai Qian'er glanced at her and said coldly: "It's not your turn to ask about the matters between us!"

"You!" Song Ruyan choked, anger welling up in her beautiful eyes.

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows, it seems that the relationship between Bai Xian'er and the masters of Song Mansion is very bad!

"This Bai Xian'er has a very strong temper, and he still has a lot of anger in his heart. He is not a good person to deal with." The barely audible comment came to his ears. Mu Yutang looked up and saw standing outside the crowd Four or five tall men, with long swords on their backs, looked coldly and looked around warily. The man who spoke at the front had sharp eyes, a serious face, and he was not angry. He was the emperor Xiao Yuanxiu.
