After saying that, Nangong Mo took out the short jade flute from his waist, brought it to his mouth and played it gently. A sparse sound came from the courtyard. A small green snake appeared in the inner hall.

Shui Bi and Chu Jinnian both stared at the cold, green snake on the ground.

The little snake calmly swam to Nangong Mo's side, and slowly wrapped it around Nangong Mo's leg. The snake's head, which was still clinging to Nangong Mo's calf a moment ago, stood up instantly, opened its mouth, and took a sudden bite.

Nangong Mo fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Master, the venom of the green snake will make you temporarily unable to feel pain. My subordinates and brother must do their best to find an expert who knows the art of suturing to sew my knees for me. Master, please take care of your body!"

Nangong Mo's cold tone was now filled with murderous intent, "Zhen Bi. When did you become so verbose!"

Seeing that Nangong Mo was already angry, Song Xun came out to smooth things over, "Well, Master, I will escort you out of the palace. Princess, Shui Bi, don't worry. Master is unrivaled in his strength. I will escort you out of the palace right now."

Song Yan casually poked Zhen Bi with his arm and gave it a warning with his eyes.

Zhen Bi was silent.

Zhen Bi was acting weird today. But facing Nangong Mo's anger, it was undoubtedly a bit inappropriate for Chu Jinnian to interrupt.

Seeing the anger under Nangong Mo's eyes, Chu Jinnian came out to smooth things over.

"Okay, Mo. Promise me. You must be careful about your wounds during these seven days. You have important things to do, and I will take good care of myself. I will take your words to heart. I will act with caution."

The night is a bit cool, and the breath of early spring is brisk.

Chu Jinnian was flipping through medical books in the study. After Nangong Mo left, Chu Jinnian asked Zhen Bi to find more classical medical books for her in a short period of time. She and Shui Bi took all the other books off the shelves.

, put them in a box. Put all the medical books on the bookshelf.

Even if he is not interested in medical books, in order to survive, Chu Jinnian must work hard on his own.

"Princess, it's already late at night. Go to bed early! After dinner today, the eldest princess sent an invitation. The flowers in the imperial garden are almost blooming, so she asked the emperor for instructions to hold a banquet three days later. I heard that

They also invited many ministers' daughters and young ladies to the banquet. The queen also issued an edict that all the young gentlemen and young ladies attending the banquet must perform their talents."

"Oh - really?" Chu Jinnian buried his head to answer the words and continued to read the book in his hand.

"Princess, let's not go to the party. There are so many people at the banquet, and I'm afraid——" Shui Bi said worriedly, with genuine concern in her eyes.

"Afraid of——, what are you afraid of? You can enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden and hold a banquet! Do you think it's really because of the eldest sister's words?"

Chu Jinnian put down the medical book in his hand and picked out the candle wick with a bamboo stick. The room became a little brighter.

"Could it be that such a small banquet has now become a competition?" Shui Bi lowered her head and muttered to herself.

Chu Jinnian didn't answer and watched the candlelight dance.

It was late at night and quiet. But her heart couldn't calm down.

She had previously suspected that the poison on her body was caused by her father, but after thinking about it, she realized that even if his father hated her, he would not kill her with strong medicine.

If Duan Yuhua had poisoned her, then with her power, he wouldn't have to wait until she grew up. He could kill her when she was a child and had no ability to protect herself.
