Shangguan Wan Ning sat in front of the dressing mirror, but did not let the maids dress up for her.
This time, her father seemed determined to cut her off from all contact with the outside world. Except for a few personal maids, her mother, and her mother, she was not allowed to see anyone, including Sun Jinyao.
She had no way of knowing what was happening to Mu Jingrui now; she had no way of explaining it to him.
"Miss, just have something to eat." Lu Tong looked at the pale Shangguan Wan Ning and persuaded her with choked sobs.
Shangguan Wanning looked expressionless and asked in a low voice: "Has Xiao Zhenting been here in the past few days?"
"I heard from the housekeeper that he did come here and chatted with the master in the study for a while, but he didn't seem very happy and left in about half an hour."
Shangguan Wan Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her father did not accept Xiao Zhenting's threat to marry her off.
"Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince's concubine is here and is talking to Madam in the front hall. Madam, please come over."
Shangguan Wan Ning trembled when she heard this, and immediately ordered Lu Tong to comb her hair.
She almost jogged to the front hall, and the moment she saw Mu Jingyan, her eyes filled with tears.
"Ning'er, the concubine heard that you were feeling unwell, so she specially brought you some supplements. You two should talk, I still have some things to deal with."
Mrs. Shangguan felt sorry for her daughter. She also knew that Mu Jingyan's arrival must have brought news about Mu Jingrui, so she took the initiative to leave them to talk.
As soon as she turned around, Shangguan Wan Ning immediately greeted her and asked anxiously: "Xiao Yan, how is Jin Rui?"
Mu Jingyan suppressed the smile he had shown when he was talking to Mrs. Shangguan just now, gently put down the cup in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth into a meaningful smile.
"Miss Shangguan, do you want me to say that he is very good, or... he is dying?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and waves of sadness spread in her heart.
"Even you doubt me?"
This news made Shangguan Wan Ning feel very sad because Mu Jingyan's attitude most likely represents Mu Jingrui's attitude.
"Miss Shangguan, let's not waste time, open the skylight and speak frankly. What kind of poison did you give my brother?" Mu Jingyan lost even the last of his gentleness and asked sternly, "Hand over the antidote.
If there is anything wrong with my brother, I will definitely make your Prime Minister’s Mansion uneasy."
Mu Jingrui was indeed poisoned. It seemed that Xiao Zhenting was not being alarmist about this.
"I didn't poison Jingrui, it was Xiao Zhenting who did it..."
"Is there any difference whether he did it or you did it?"
Mu Jingyan looked at Shangguan Wan Ning coldly. "My brother and I were blind and mistaken in trusting you. In fact, when our Mu family was in decline, you had already given up on my brother once. He was so naive, but he was still right
You are deeply in love."
"Xiaoyan, how can you say that? Your brother and I have experienced life and death. Doesn't he understand how I feel about him? If I have no intention of him, why should I stay with him all the time?"
"Then only you know." Mu Jingyan didn't accept this trick at all, "So many people in the capital know that you like the second prince, so why are you suddenly willing to follow my brother? Now it seems that you are worried
My brother's power is growing day by day, and after forming an alliance with the prince, he threatens the second prince's status..."
Shangguan Wan Ning closed her eyes in pain and helplessness.
Mu Jingyan's unfounded speculation made her heartache.
"I don't want to explain anymore, I just want to know how your brother is doing now?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's attitude made Mu Jingyan even more angry. With a flash of her eyes, she came to Shangguan Wan Ning and grabbed her neck.
"If you don't hand over the antidote, I will kill you now."
Shangguan Wan Ning was pinched by Mu Jingyan's neck, and the feeling of suffocation made her struggle subconsciously.
The more Mu Jingyan thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly she felt a gust of wind coming from her palm. She had no choice but to let go of Shangguan Wan Ning and took a few steps back.
"Although you are the crown prince's concubine, if you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to kill people, the prince cannot protect you."
Sun Jinyao stood in front of Shangguan Wan Ning and looked at Mu Jingyan with cold eyes.
"roll."
Just with the slap just now, Mu Jingyan knew that he was no match for Sun Jinyao. What's more, this was indeed the territory of the Shangguan family.
"There are so many men protecting you." Mu Jingyan looked at Shangguan Wan Ning with disgust, then walked away.
"How's it going? Are you okay?"
Although they were both in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sun Jinyao had not seen Shangguan Wan Ning for several days. However, in just a few days, she had lost so much weight.
"Brother Yao, can you do me one more favor?"
Sun Jinyao frowned slightly, Shangguan Wanning knew what it was even if he didn't say anything.
"I'll convince the old guy to go to Mu Mansion and have a look later."
"Thanks."
Shangguan Wan Ning was a little confused and went back to the room alone.
Lu Xiangzi muttered that he didn't want to, but he still took Sun Jinyao to Mu Mansion, and continued to lecture Sun Jinyao all the way.
"I don't know what's in your silly boy's head. Mu Jingrui has no friendship with you, so why bother to save him? Besides, he's your love rival."
Sun Jinyao froze and looked at Lu Xiangzi with a warning look in his eyes.
Lu Xiangzi was not afraid at all, his eyes were more fierce than Sun Jinyao's.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Don't think I can't tell, you just like Ning'er."
Sun Jinyao realized that there was nothing he could do about Lu Xiangzi, so he simply ignored him and turned his head to the side.
The two of them came to Mu Mansion together. Mu Jingyan was not there, but they successfully met Mu Jingrui.
"Ning'er asked the old man to detoxify you." Sun Jinyao said expressionlessly.
"If you can't trust us, we'll leave immediately."
Lu Xiangzi didn't want to be criticized for being cowardly.
"Thank you, senior." Mu Jingrui led Lu Xiangzi and Sun Jinyao into the room.
After Lu Xiangzi felt Mu Jingrui's pulse, he said without changing his expression: "It's a small trick, it's easy."
After saying that, he ordered the maid to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote down the prescription.
"Take the medicine according to the prescription, and after three days, you are guaranteed to be full of energy and recover as before."
"Thank you, senior." Mu Jingrui took the prescription and handed it to the maid, "Let the housekeeper get the medicine."
"Wait a minute." Mu Jingyan hurriedly walked in and took the prescription nervously, "Brother, they are all Shangguan Wanning's people, do you still trust them?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I've already been here. It's easier for me to explain to the girl."
Lu Xiangzi stood up and stretched. "Boy, let's go."
Mu Jingyan watched the two people leave, gritting his teeth with hatred.
Mu Jingrui took the prescription back and said, "I believe it."
