Chapter 74: Re-entering Mount Mang
"I won't go, I won't go, I'm worried." Nan Muchen leaned on the Grand Master's chair with an annoyed look on his face and waved his hand to Lu Qi.
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qi withdrew, but before she could have a cup of tea, she came back in and said, "The concubine sent another maid over and said that if you don't come over, she will kneel outside and won't leave."
"Then let her kneel down." Even a little maid wants to threaten him? What a joke!
Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice outside shouting: "Your Majesty, please, go see the concubine."
Nan Muchen wanted to ignore that voice, but he didn't expect that the maid outside the door would not let him go. She repeated it over and over again, showing a posture of not giving up until she achieved her goal.
"Master, do you need your subordinates to drive her away?"
"If you drive her away, she will come back later." And after all, this concubine is also the Queen Mother Xu's, so it is really difficult to deal with it easily.
Nan Muchen stood up slowly: "I will come back as soon as I go, so you don't have to follow me. In the past few days, you and Ji Ying will work together to get the Su family's affairs settled as soon as possible."
Su Jinnian was indeed bewitched by Sun Cuilan, and the two conspired to poison Mr. Su. Witnesses of this fact have been found in Qiu Town next to Nandu.
In addition, the fact that he was reselling private salt in private has been confirmed by Shadow Guard, but the amount of private salt was actually shockingly large, almost to the point of implicating the nine clans.
So he could only ask Lu Qi and Ji Ying to find a way to destroy some of them secretly, so as to ensure that Su Mumu would not be implicated.
This is also the only thing he can do for Su Mumu at present!
Ningxiangyuan——
"Ruhua, hasn't the prince come yet?" Xiong Yuning leaned on the couch with a haggard face, staring at the door of the room with a bit of expectation and longing.
"Miss, it's not yet." A maid in a pink dress stood at the door, standing on tiptoe from time to time and looking out.
Ruyan also came to Prince Ding's palace with Xiong Yuning as a dowry, but her personality was relatively reserved and not as flamboyant as Ruyan, so she had not been paid much attention by Xiong Yuning before.
Now that Ruyan is dead, Xiong Yuning naturally begins to reuse Ruhua.
Xiong Yuning's face was as green as a bamboo shoot. Now if she thought for a moment, she would think of the bloody scene of Ru Yan's tongue being cut off and then dying tragically.
Aunt Liu comforted her at the side: "Madam, please be patient, the prince will definitely come."
Princess Ding's ability was really demonstrated to her today.
Originally, the Queen Mother sent her to Xiong Yuning's side in order to use Xiong Yuning to better control Nan Muchen, but she didn't expect that Su Mumu would be so difficult to deal with. It seemed that she had to take a long-term approach.
"Miss, Miss, the prince is here!" Ruhua suddenly excitedly turned around and shouted to Xiong Yuning.
When Xiong Yuning heard this, his anxious eyes lit up, and he immediately lay down on his back, pretending to be weak.
Ruhua sat on the side of the bed and looked at Xiong Yuning with a worried look, as if she really had an incurable disease.
Sure enough, Nan Muchen's figure walked in within a moment, and Ruhua and Aunt Liu blessed their bodies at the same time: "Slave, please see the prince."
Xiong Yuning was almost ecstatic in her heart, with a sickly look on her face, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and she weakly said: "I am here to see the prince, please forgive me for my physical disobedience, so I cannot get up to see you."
"You are not feeling well, so this gift will be waived. You were fine yesterday, why are you sick now?" Nan Muchen asked strangely.
Tears welled up in his eyes. Xiong Yuning lowered his head silently, holding on to the brocade quilt with both hands, as if he had suffered some great grievance.
Ru Hua on the side was anxious and said first: "It's all the Princess! Sister Ruyan just made a little mistake in the morning and took the Princess's breakfast by mistake, and her tongue was cut out by the Princess's maid! My wife,
I have been in love with Sister Ruyan since I was a child, and couldn't bear the blow, so I fainted at that time!"
"Picturesque!" Xiong Yuning scolded her, as if he wanted to stop her from continuing.
"Everything my slave said is true. Please be aware of it and make the decision for my wife!" After Ru Hua finished speaking, he knelt down respectfully toward Nan Muchen.
The two masters and servants sang in harmony and pretended to be serious. Nan Muchen saw through it without saying anything.
Su Mumu cut out Ruyan's tongue. He already knew the whole story from Ji Ying.
Not to mention that Su Mumu's fault wasn't at all, even if it was really her fault, he would turn a blind eye and protect her.
Therefore, if Xiong Yuning wanted to use this matter to sow discord between him and Su Mumu, he would have made a mistake.
"Get up. I will decide for myself what the facts are." Nan Muchen didn't even look at Ruhua.
Ah? That’s it. No need for punishment or anything?
Xiong Yuning couldn't believe her ears, but she still wanted to look sick, so she couldn't act too extreme.
"Since you are no longer in serious trouble, I will leave now."
After Nan Muchen finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. However, Xiong Yuning suddenly grabbed a corner of his sleeve and begged, "My lord, don't leave! I'm a concubine."
There was a noise outside Ningxiang Courtyard, and the sound of quarreling could be heard faintly——
"The prince is accompanying his concubine inside, you can't go in!"
"Don't stop me, I want to go in and find the prince!"
The sound sounds like Bihe.
Nan Muchen was about to shake off Xiong Yuning's hand tugging at his sleeve and go out to see what was going on.
Just after exerting some force, Xiong Yuning's body seemed to have lost its center of gravity and fell towards the bed, with the back of her head hitting the edge of the bed heavily. There was a muffled "bang" sound, and Xiong Yuning immediately wailed and rolled her eyes.
Fainted again
When Su Mumu woke up, it was already the next day. As for the reason for her fainting, there was no other reason. Of course, she was drunk and then suffered a certain amount of nervous mental oppression.
Originally, Su Mumu wanted to go back to the mountain where she collected herbs last time, see if she could meet the old man who kindly donated the herbs last time, and give him a new Dendrobium officinale plant.
But Forsythia was worried that her body had not yet recovered, so she forced her to rest in Qingwuyuan for two more days.
She has made up her mind that no matter what Forsythia is telling her today, she must go out.
"What? Princess, do you still want to go to Mangshan?"
"Well, I still have to go." Su Mumu nodded, "But this time, you and Bihe will go with me, and we will treat it as an outing together."
Forsythia thought for a moment and hesitated: "Then, do you want to call the prince?"
