The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Zhenguogongfu

"Miss, stop looking. You should take the medicine and go to bed." Yun Ya brought the medicine in and saw that the young lady was still reading a military book with great concentration.

"Got it. Let me drink it later." Su Jingning told Yun Ya casually without taking his eyes off the book.

Seeing this, Yun Ya shook her head, placed the medicine on the table, and gently took the book from Su Jingning's hand.

"Miss, you can read the book tomorrow. The medicine will get cold soon. If I take it out to warm it up, Madam will definitely find out. If Madam finds out, she will have to watch over you while you drink the medicine."

Su Jingning looked at Yun Ya helplessly and said, "I'll drink it!"

"Miss, your hand is injured. Let me feed you." Yun Ya pretended to pick up the bowl to feed Su Jingning.

"No need." Su Jingning held the bowl with his uninjured hand and drank it all in one gulp, decisively and with great generosity.

After drinking the medicine, Yun Ya quickly helped Su Jingning to sleep, and then left. The young lady never liked to be watched over when she slept.

Su Jingning turned off the light and lay down, thinking about the gifts Princess Xuanhe had sent him today. He couldn't sleep. If the princess wanted to put on a show, she wouldn't have sent so many expensive gifts.

She went to Jiangnan to recuperate at the age of ten, and stayed there for four years before returning to the capital two years ago. She always liked quietness and didn't like to attend banquets. In the past, Su Ruofu mostly went for her. Su Ruofu wished that she would not even go out, and she also established a self-righteous image in front of the noble ladies. It was not until she met Prince Ling not long ago that she went out a few times, but then the scandal was reported again.

Now, I am the laughing stock of many people in the capital. The young ladies from the aristocratic families all laugh at me, saying that I am frivolous, rude, stupid and arrogant.

But the princess ignored the rumors and gave her so many gifts. She could see that the joy in Princess Xuanhe's eyes when she looked at her was not a disguise. Could it be because she helped Gu Yan'an?

Suddenly, Su Jingning's almond-shaped eyes suddenly opened, and she slowly took out a small dagger from under her pillow. She held it tightly in her hand and held her breath. There was suddenly another person in her room! ! No one outside the room noticed! If she hadn't been awake, she would not have noticed it. This shows how powerful this person's skills are.

Su Jingning felt that the man seemed to have placed something on the table. He stood by the table for a long time without moving. She secretly gathered strength in her hand and stabbed the dagger at the man. Then she moved her body and attacked the man in an instant.

In the darkness, the man seemed to have not realized that he was not asleep. He narrowly avoided the dagger, but was hit by Su Jingning. Su Jingning's hands were restrained by him and he was about to kick him.

"Don't move! It's me!" The man's deep and cold voice sounded in Su Jingning's ears.

Su Jingning paused abruptly. This voice...Gu Yan'an! ?

Seeing Su Jingning stop moving, Gu Yanan loosened his grip on Su Jingning and let her go.

"Miss? What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Yun Qing asked when she heard some noise in the room.

"It's okay, I'm a little thirsty, so I got up and drank some water. You should go to sleep soon." Su Jingning said outside.

"Oh, then Miss, please go to bed early." Yun Qing didn't think much about it and went back to his room to sleep.

Only after hearing Yun Qing closing the door did Su Jingning turn on the desk lamp.

With the help of candlelight, she could see clearly that it was Gu Yan'an standing in the room. He was dressed in a blue-gray brocade suit and had a stern face. He looked at her as usual, breaking into her boudoir without a trace of guilt.

Su Jingning's anger rose from the bottom of his heart. His face turned cold, his tone was a little unfriendly, he glanced at Gu Yan'an, and said in a low voice:

"Master Gu, what are you doing breaking into my boudoir in the middle of the night? Master Gu is really good at etiquette!"

"I didn't mean to break into your room." Gu Yan'an looked at Su Jingning, whose face turned pale because of his anger, and wanted to explain.

"Not intentional? Then why did the prince appear in my room at this time?" Su Jingning's voice became colder. He sat down at the table and looked at Gu Yan'an with cold eyes.

"I promised to deliver the medicine to you yesterday, but you didn't seem to want the Su family to know that we knew each other. I could only deliver the medicine when the Su family fell asleep. I was going to leave right after delivering the medicine, but I didn't expect to wake you up." Gu Yan'an explained in a gentle voice, trying to calm Su Jingning's anger.

Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an, whose ears were a little red. He didn't look like he was lying. Looking at the medicine on the table, he remembered what medicine he seemed to have mentioned yesterday.

"Can't you find someone to deliver the medicine to your house? Why do you have to be so scary in the middle of the night? If you hadn't made a sound, this needle would have pierced your hand." Su Jingning's voice softened and he said unhappily, throwing out a silver needle from his sleeve.

Gu Yan'an didn't look at the silver needle, but stared closely at Su Jingning's left forearm. The wound from the fight had just opened again, and her sleeve was stained with blood.

He stepped forward and grabbed Su Jingning's hand. "I'm sorry about your injury."

Su Jingning was shocked. Gu Yan'an actually said sorry to him! Wasn't he always arrogant and looked down upon others? He actually said sorry to him!

"Ha, it's okay. My wounds always heal slower than those of ordinary people. They will easily tear apart with the slightest movement." Su Jingning said indifferently and wanted to take his hand back.

"Don't move, I'll re-bandage you. Where is the medicine box?" Gu Yan'an frowned, holding his own hand tightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Then be gentle. The medicine box is over there." Su Jingning couldn't re-bandage the wound herself, so she let Gu Yan'an do it for her. She pointed out the location of the medicine box to Gu Yan'an.

Gu Yan'an took the medicine box, and then carefully removed the gauze on Su Jingning's arm. The wound, which was one-third the size of her forearm, was torn again. The bloody and horrible wound looked particularly scary on the girl's slender and white arm.

Gu Yan'an frowned even more deeply. He gently wiped the blood clean, applied medicine to Su Jingning softly, and only relaxed after bandaging him.

Then he handed the medicine to Su Jingning. "The green one is for internal use, and the red one is for external use. Your wound should be healed in about ten days, and I will send someone to give you scar-removing medicine by then."

"Oh, I see." Su Jingning took the medicine and said softly.

"You are injured because of me, so I will naturally help you recover." Gu Yan'an suddenly explained. Then he turned around and packed up the medicine box and put it back in its place.

Su Jingning said nothing.

Gu Yan'an pulled the dagger that Su Jingning shot at him off the wall. The dagger was firmly embedded in the wood, which showed that the person who shot the dagger had profound skills.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Your skills have improved a lot." Gu Yan'an handed the knife to Su Jingning and said softly.

"It's the same for you. Aren't you the same? Now you are a general of the second rank." Su Jingning put away the knife and returned the words.

"By the way, Princess Xuanhe sent me many valuable gifts early this morning. She helped me yesterday, and she sent me so many gifts today. I can't accept them. Please find time to send them back for me!" Su Jingning thought of the gifts sent by the princess this morning. Gu Yan'an happened to be there, so he wanted him to send them back for him.

"Since the princess gave it to you, just keep it well." Gu Yan'an said indifferently.

After saying that, he glanced at Su Jingning and whispered:

"Rest well and don't let the wound come into contact with water. I'm leaving now."

Then he opened the window, climbed out of the window, closed the window again, and there was no more movement.

Su Jingning looked at the window through which he disappeared and fell into deep thought. The security in her yard must be strengthened as he was allowed to come and go so freely.

Early the next morning, Su Jingning was awakened by Yun Qing.

"Miss! There was a thief in your room last night! Look at this knife mark!" Yun Qing pointed at the mark on the wall and said to Su Jingning with a worried look.

"No, I killed a moth last night." Su Jingning was woken up early in the morning and was in a bad mood, so he lied to Yun Qing casually.

"Ah, where do these moths come from in this winter?" Yun Qing asked in confusion.

"If I say yes, then yes. You go out first. I'll sleep for a while!" Su Jingning said impatiently.

Su Jingning slept for another half an hour before getting up contentedly.

"Miss, someone outside the mansion just sent this to you." Yun Ya brought a large mahogany box to Su Jingning.

"What is this? Do you know who sent it?" Su Jingning asked, looking at the box.

"It's a bunch of medicinal herbs for replenishing qi and blood. It was brought by a little boy, and he himself couldn't tell who asked him to deliver it. He just told the doorman that it was for you, young lady. We need to send someone to check it out." Yun Ya looked puzzled.

Su Jingning opened the box and looked at it. The box was divided into several layers. Inside were ginseng as thick as a child's arm, excellent deer antlers, and various precious blood-replenishing herbs. It was a full box, very impressive. Su Jingning suddenly thought of Gu Yan'an.

"No need. Send the ginseng and deer antlers to Songhuayuan, and put the others in the pharmacy. I won't need them." Su Jingning said softly.

"Yes." Yun Ya thought that it was Miss Yue who sent the herbs to the young lady, so she didn't ask any more questions and sent someone to deliver the herbs to the old lady and the pharmacy.

"By the way, Miss, Chen Ruofu woke up yesterday afternoon. She stayed at the farm and didn't leave." Yun Ya told Su Jingning the news that she didn't have time to tell him yesterday.

Su Jingning's eyes turned cold, and there was undisguised disgust between his brows. He said coldly:

"Have someone keep a close eye on her. She pretended to be unconscious for so long, and now that she's awake, she must have thought of some way to come back. Also, have someone keep an eye on Prince Ling's Mansion."

Prince Ling is Chen Ruofu's only hope now.

"Yes"

After that, Gu Yan'an never came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion again, but he sent someone to deliver some medicine every one or two days. He had sent five or six times in the past ten days, and Yun Ya felt strange. But the young lady said nothing, but asked her to accept the gift as usual.

"Yun Ya, I'm going out for a while today. Please keep it a secret from my mother for me." The wound on Su Jingning's hand has already scabbed over. The medicine that Gu Yan'an sent is indeed very effective. In the past, this little wound of hers would have taken more than a month to heal.

"Miss, where are you going? I'll ask someone to accompany you." Yun Ya looked at Su Jingning, who was wearing a narrow-sleeved blue light-patterned skirt and a navy blue cloak, and asked doubtfully.

"No need, I'll be back soon. My mother is going to pay her respects to my grandmother today, so she probably won't have time to come here. You stay home and keep it a secret from my mother. Don't let her find out." After Su Jingning finished speaking, he took the dagger and went out without letting anyone follow him.

After leaving the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Jingning went straight to the city gate and left the city.
