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

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Su? The Duke of Zhenguo asked me to come and see you."

A young eunuch came out from the side, bowed his head and said to Su Jingmo. Su Jingmo was suspicious. What did his father call him for? He had just come out for a while.

"Ningning, let's go back." He spoke, wanting to take Su Jingning back.

"Second brother, you go back first. I'll take a breath. Father must be looking for you for something urgent." Su Jingning didn't want to go back so soon. It was comfortable outside.

Su Jingmo frowned and wanted to persuade Su Jingning to go back with him.

"Oh, second brother, this place is not far from the banquet hall. I will go back by myself in a while. Look, there are so many people here!" Su Jingning waved his hand at Su Jingmo, turned his head and stopped looking at him, showing a rare willfulness.

Su Jingmo had no choice but to remind him, "Remember to come back after staying for a while!"

"understood!"

Su Jingmo then followed the eunuch back to the banquet hall with peace of mind. In the banquet hall, Gu Yan'an looked indifferent and distant, watching the singing and dancing lazily. He saw that Su Jingmo came back alone and didn't see Su Jingning. He turned around and saw that Prince Ling was not in his seat. A trace of doubt flashed in his dark eyes. His bony hands tightened the teacup.

On the balcony, Su Jingning looked at the lights in the distance becoming increasingly dim, and her mind was a little dazed. She heard footsteps behind her and thought that Su Jingmo was worried about her and came back again.

"Second brother, I told you I would go back by myself in a while, why are you back again!"

But the person behind him didn't respond. Su Jingning felt strange and turned to look at him.

"Why don't you..." Su Jingning saw the person standing behind him, the words on his lips were stuck, and his face turned cold instantly.

"Your Highness Prince Ling, why are you here?" Su Jingning leaned against the wall and looked around vigilantly. Sure enough, everyone on the corridor had disappeared.

"Jingning, don't misunderstand me, I just want to talk to you." Mu Ling was wearing a silver-gray python-patterned robe. His face was gentle, and he took a step closer to Su Jingning.

"Let's talk about why His Royal Highness Prince Ling transferred all the people nearby! Besides, I don't have anything to talk to His Royal Highness Prince Ling alone." Su Jingning's voice was hard and cold, as if he didn't want to stay with him for a second.

"Jingning, whether you believe it or not, I have always been sincere to you and have never thought of using or hurting you." Mu Ling looked at Su Jingning affectionately, wanting Su Jingning to understand his true feelings.

Su Jingning's face was cold, and her hands were tightly grasping the wall, trying to stay awake. Damn it, how could she even get dizzy from the fruit wine?

Su Jingning couldn't drink alcohol since she was a child, as she would get dizzy if she did. But she didn't expect that she couldn't even drink fruit wine.

"If His Royal Highness Prince Ling really liked me, he wouldn't have blocked me here and sent everyone around me away." Su Jingning sneered, leaned against the wall and shook his head, trying to stay away from him.

Mu Heng seemed to notice her abnormality, and a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes. He took a few steps closer to her.

"Jingning, you are the smartest woman I have ever seen. I really admire you."

"I have something in my hand that is very important to the Su family. If you are willing to be with me, I will never hand it over. I think, you are so smart, you will not want the Su family to suffer because of this." Mu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the calculation in his eyes was too obvious.

Su Jingning's brows turned cold, and he looked at Mu Ling with cold eyes, which made Mu Ling feel cold in his heart.

"What the hell!" The already cold voice was so cold that people dared not approach it.

"Su family army report, in the battle between the Northern Border and Northern Yan three years ago, the Su family seemed to be hiding something from father." Muleng's gentle voice probed.

Seeing Su Jingning's expression change instantly, Mu Ling understood clearly. Sure enough, Chen Ruofu did not lie to him. The Su family was hiding something from his father and the court. He could use this as a threat to get the Su family to help him.

"You! What's wrong with you? Chen Ruofu told you." Su Jingning's cheeks were abnormally red, his eyes were cold, and he tried to wake himself up. But his feet swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

Mu Heng caught her quickly. Su Jingning wanted to break free from him, but she was so dizzy, her hands and feet were weak, and she couldn't break free.

"Let go, let me go!" Su Jingning's voice was a little soft due to being drunk, and she endured the nausea churning in her heart.

"Jingning, what's wrong with you?" Mu Ling hugged her tightly, and the worry on his face seemed very hypocritical.

In the distance, Gu Yan'an, who had come out to look for Su Jingning because she had not returned, stood in the dim corridor. Looking at the people hugging each other on the corridor and the girl's rosy face, his heart ached. The Bodhi Buddha beads in his hand were tightly clenched in his hands, and his bony fingers were clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.

He looked at the dark and lonely shadow cast on the ground by the lamp and laughed at himself. "Gu Yan'an, you are as dark and cold as this shadow, and you cannot stand the light. But she is the brightest star in the sky. How can you think she can see you?"

He lowered his head, turned around and quickly disappeared into the corridor. As soon as he turned around the corridor, Su Jingning's face suddenly flashed through his mind. It seemed that it was a little red and a little abnormal.

No! He paused and quickly turned back. Sure enough, the girl was blushing, frowning, and looking very uncomfortable, trying desperately to break free from his arms.

It was as if a string in Gu Yan'an's brain suddenly broke, and his deep dark eyes were filled with cruelty and rage.

Mu Ling, who was holding Su Jingning, did not sense the coming danger and was still trying to find a way to calm Su Jingning down.

"Bang—" Before Mu Ling could react, he was kicked to the ground by the furious Gu Yan'an. Mu Ling's head hit the ground hard, and he felt dizzy. Before he could see who hit him, he was hit on the right face again. The whole right face was unconscious.

Su Jingning was suddenly released, his body became unstable, and he took several steps back and bumped into the wall before he could stand firm.

Having just been held by Mu Heng for a long time, she felt unclean now. Her chest was aching and she felt very uncomfortable. Her face was pale and panicked, and she was shivering against the wall.

When Gu Yan'an saw her looking so miserable and pale, his heart ached. Why didn't he notice that something was wrong with her earlier?

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." Gu Yan'an tried to soften his voice and coaxed the girl softly. He was careful not to touch her for fear of scaring her.

Su Jingning's thin body was still shaking slightly. He lowered his head and did not dare to look up.

Seeing Su Jingning so timid and fragile for the first time, Gu Yanan regretted to death in his heart, why didn't he see her earlier. Damn Mu Ling! Gu Yanan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but when he turned around, he found that Mu Ling was gone. I think he found out that it was him and ran away secretly.

"Gu Yan'an..." Su Jingning finally calmed down, his voice light and shallow.

"I'm here! It's okay." Gu Yan'an's voice was low and soft, trying to calm the girl.

Su Jingning tightly grasped Gu Yan'an's sleeve, and Gu Yan'an realized that her body was terribly stiff and cold. How could this happen? He held Su Jingning's hand tightly, trying to make her relax, but it was useless.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be okay." He coaxed the girl patiently and softly.

"Gu Yan'an, it's dirty..." Finally, the girl spoke with a strong nasal tone and grievance. Her voice was tender and soft, and her stiff body relaxed a little.

Gu Yan'an was stunned and didn't realize what she was talking about.

"He touched...my clothes...are so dirty." Su Jingning's big almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to take off his cloak, but he was too anxious and couldn't untie it. He felt pampered and aggrieved.

Gu Yan'an just realized that what she was talking about was that Mu Ling hugged her and she disliked the dirty clothes. Looking at the delicate and aggrieved girl, Gu Yan'an's heart softened and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He reached out his hand and bent down to untie her cloak which had been tied into a knot because of her anxiety.

"Okay, the cloak is dirty, so we don't want it anymore. It's okay." He said softly, looking at Su Jingning lovingly, and threw the cloak aside.
