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

Su Jingning lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said slowly:

"The assassins were not hired by Shen Zhiyi. She didn't have the ability to bribe the guards of the hunting grounds and let the assassins sneak into the hunting grounds quietly. Besides, those assassins are all experts."

Su Jingchen and Su Jingmo looked at her in confusion, "But apart from Shen Zhiyi, there are very few people in the Imperial Capital who even recognize you. Who would want your life?"

"I'm not sure, I'm still checking." Su Jingning shook her head and said softly. She forgot to ask Ah Yan about this last night. It seemed that many times she met him, someone wanted to hurt him.

"But if that's the case, then Shen Zhiyi got the upper hand. Besides, she led you to the wolf den in Qingshuijian just to kill you, didn't she expect those wolves didn't hurt you."

Su Jingmo's eyes were gloomy and he didn't want to let Shen Zhiyi go just like that. She dared to hurt Ningning, so she couldn't easily escape their revenge.

There was a glimmer of cruelty in Su Jingning's eyes. He used her family to plot against her. It seemed that the last time he hurt her hand, he didn't teach her a lesson.

"No matter who he is, since he was able to bribe the guards of the hunting ground to let the killer in, it means that he has a high status in the imperial capital. There are too few guards around you. Starting tomorrow, I will send you more secret guards. You'd better be careful. Your health is not good to begin with, and you are always injured. If you are not careful, the cold in your body will be completely stimulated again. What can we do?" Su Jingchen looked at Su Jingning worriedly. The imperial capital was in turmoil and the forces were complicated. It was inevitable that people who were dissatisfied with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would want to take action against the people in the mansion.

"Brother, no need. I have Yun Ya and Yun Qing by my side, and also An Xia. I don't need so many people." Su Jingning smiled at Su Jingchen. She didn't like too many people around her.

"No, this is settled. Since you don't like people following you, let them stay outside your yard. Just focus on healing your wounds and we can talk about anything else after you've recovered."

Su Jingchen, who always responded to Su Jingning's requests, rarely did not follow her wishes. He knew that Ningning was good at martial arts, and the maids around her were also experts, but he was still worried.

"Oh, okay." Su Jingning agreed with a curled lip, and suddenly thought to himself that he should tell A Yan to come in through the main door next time and not climb over the wall in the middle of the night.

"Miss, Prince, Second Young Master. Miss, Princess Xuyang is here. She said she heard that you woke up and came to visit you." While the three siblings were talking, Yun Ya suddenly hurried in and said.

"Princess? Please come in." Su Jingning didn't expect Mu Xi to come, so he hurriedly said in a low voice.

"Yes."

Soon, Mu Xi came in carrying a wooden box. Seeing Su Jingning leaning on the bed with a pale and sick face, he felt a little distressed.

When she heard that Su Jingning was injured that day, she went to see her. She was really scared to see her unconscious and pale face. Today, her complexion looks better than that day.

"Greetings, Princess Xuyang!" Su Jingchen bowed to Mu Xi.

Mu Xi nodded at her and walked straight towards Su Jingning.

"Jingning, you're finally awake!"

"Jingning made the princess worried." Su Jingning couldn't stand up, so he slowly nodded and saluted towards Mu Xi.

"I heard you woke up, so I came to see you. It's good that you woke up. You don't know how scary you looked when you were unconscious that day."

Mu Xi sat in front of Su Jingning's bed, holding her hand, with obvious worry and pity in her eyes.

"By the way, I brought a lot of precious medicinal herbs from the palace and gave them to your maid. I asked Doctor Du to see which ones can be used. You must take good care of your injuries and get better soon. You look so pitiful now."

Su Jingning felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that so many people would care about her when she was injured. She looked at Mu Xi with a smile and said softly:

"Thank you for visiting me."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Mu Xi smiled at her. She liked Su Jingning from the bottom of her heart and wanted to be his sincere friend.

Mu Xi glanced at the wooden box on the small table beside her and asked Su Jingchen and Su Jingmo:

"Prince Su, Amo, I want to talk to Jing Ning alone, is that ok?"

Su Jingchen glanced at Su Jingning with some concern. Su Jingning smiled and nodded at him. Su Jingchen then said gently:

"Then Princess and Ningning can talk slowly."

After saying that, he bowed to Mu Xi and walked out.

Su Jingmo then stood up from his chair, glanced at Mu Xi, and said casually:

"Don't talk to my sister for too long. She just woke up and doesn't have as much energy as you."

"I know! I know!" The two brothers of the Su family looked at her as if they were hindering Jing Ning's recovery.

Su Jingmo glanced at her sideways before preparing to leave.

"Oh, by the way, is Shen Zhiyi in the Dali Temple? Please accompany me to the Dali Temple later!" Mu Xi suddenly shouted behind her.

Su Jingmo turned around and looked at Mu Xi, looking puzzled: "Why are you going to the Dali Temple?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just haven't liked Shen Zhiyi for a long time and I want to go see what she is like in prison." Mu Xi took the wooden box and put it on his lap, and replied casually to Su Jingmo.

Su Jingmo looked at Mu Xi speechlessly and replied, "Got it. I'll wait for you in the yard."

This reason is really irrefutable.

Su Jingning watched Mu Xi send Su Jingchen and Su Jingmo away, and felt a little curious about what she wanted to say to him.

Mu Xi smiled mysteriously at Su Jingning.

"Just wait a minute."

Then he took out five or six porcelain bottles from the wooden box on the upper layer. Each of them was sealed with a paper label of a different color, and the words on it looked familiar.

He then took out three porcelain jars with exquisite carvings from the bottom layer.

"Hehehe, guess what this is?" Mu Xi shook the porcelain jar towards Su Jingning and asked her with a smile.

"What is this?" Su Jingning had a vague idea of ​​who had sent this thing, but he didn't know what was in the jar.

"Here, open it and have a look." Mu Xi took a box and handed it to Su Jingning. The smile on his face never faded.

Su Jingning took the porcelain jar with a puzzled look, and gently opened it. A sweet peach fragrance came to his nose. The jar was full of pink honey. Su Jingning looked at Mu Xi with joy.

“This is Yucheng’s peach frosting candy!”

Mu Xi looked at Su Jingning's surprised expression and raised her pretty eyes:

"I don't know where the honey came from, but the person who gave it to you is very nice. He said that you have been afraid of bitter medicine since you were a child, and you like to eat sweet things immediately after taking the medicine. He also specifically asked me to remind you to only eat one pill at a time and not to eat more. He counted them."

Su Jingning looked at Mu Xi teasing her and her face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed. She had told Mu Xi before that she didn't know Gu Yan'an.

The peach frosted candy from Yucheng. When she was in Yucheng, she carried peach frosted candy in her bag every day. But after she returned to Dijing, she never ate it again.

"Didn't you say you didn't know Gu Yan'an? What's wrong with you? Do you want to explain?" Mu Xi pretended to be angry and looked at Su Jingning, whose face was flushed, and joked with her.

She said that she was not mistaken, there must be a story between these two people, she had never seen Gu Yanan so caring and gentle to someone. Hehehe, these two people are simply a perfect match, they are both so good-looking.

"How about... you eat a candy to calm down." Su Jingning looked at Mu Xi who was a little angry, and reluctantly moved the candy a little bit towards Mu Xi. He looked at Mu Xi in a flattering way, looking at her with big eyes fluttering.

Mu Xi couldn't hold back and burst out laughing: "Farewell, you should keep the candy for yourself, I don't dare to snatch it from you."

"Gu Yan'an asked me to give this to you. Those porcelain bottles contain some golden wound medicine that helps wounds heal. He said that this does not conflict with the prescription given to you by the imperial physician, so you can use it without worry."

"Oh, okay." Su Jingning held the sugar jar and nodded stupidly, his heart sweeter than honey.

Mu Xi looked at her and found her to be a bit silly. She was no longer the cool and beautiful girl she was when they first met. She was clearly a young lady in love.

She moved closer to Su Jingning, feeling confused. A few days ago at the hunting ground, she felt that the atmosphere between them was a little stiff and strange. Why did it suddenly change?

"Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and Gu Yan'an? What's the situation now? I'm so curious!" Mu Xi leaned close to Su Jingning and asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

Su Jingning's little face turned red when he was seen, and he couldn't help but be moved when he thought of Gu Yan'an's enchanting face.

"Gu Yan'an is the only person in my life I want to stay with for the rest of my life!"

Su Jingning looked at Mu Xi and said, with the most sincere look in his eyes.

Mu Xi was stunned when she said this. The love and heartache in Su Jingning's eyes when he talked about Gu Yan'an were too obvious to be ignored. This look was exactly the same as the look she saw in Gu Yan'an's eyes today. It seemed that she saw a trace of emotion and warmth that ordinary people should have in Gu Yan'an today.

"Oh, I'm moved by what you said." Mu Xi looked at Su Jingning with slightly red eyes.

"Hehe." Su Jingning smiled at Mu Xi embarrassedly.

"Then you should take good care of your injuries and get well soon. I'll come to see you again in a few days." Mu Xi put the medicine and candy away for Su Jingning and smiled at her.

"Okay, Princess, take care." Su Jingning nodded at her.

Mu Xi walked a few steps, then turned back and said to her, "I've told you so many times, just call me Mu Xi when there are no outsiders around."

The smile on Su Jingning's face grew even wider.

"Okay, Mu Xi, take care."

Only then did Mu Xi waved and walked out with satisfaction, carrying Su Jingning on his back.
