Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Currently, only the Guo family can resist the power of the Xiao family. The Guo family also has a daughter in the palace, and she has given birth to a prince, but both the mother and son, and the Guo family, are very low-key.

Mu Jinning said calmly, "Anyway, I won't marry you. If you get embarrassed later, it's your own fault. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

If there wasn't Yu Su, whose purpose was unknown, he would definitely have a big fight with the emperor.

Anyway, he has made it clear, and he won't care what happens next.

"You!" The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table, but Mu Jinning left without looking back.

The guards who rushed in from outside looked at Mu Jinning who was leaving, then looked at the emperor, and stood there with their heads down without moving for a while.

A fierce glint flashed in the emperor's eyes. What kind of drug had that girl Zhong Ran given his son? She actually made Mu Jinning say that she only wanted her.

He sat there, his expression changing for a long time.

Eunuch Gui quickly had the unconscious guards taken out, and then made a cup of ginseng tea and brought it up.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning still has you in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the palace to look for you."

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Pass the order down, have Prince Jing come to my side tomorrow and help me."

This move is both a test and a warning. If Mu Jinning continues to act on his own, he will lose the qualification to inherit the throne.

Eunuch Gui was slightly shocked, knowing that Prince Ning's action must have really pissed off the emperor, which was why he did this.

But he didn't dare to comfort her at this time, so he had to agree.

However, he quickly winked at a young eunuch, asking him to go and inform Prince Ning and the imperial concubine.

If this continues, Prince Ning will lose the emperor's favor, and the consequences will be serious.

Although Prince Yan was the legitimate son, his arm was disabled.

I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is secretly contacting Xianke Tower to see if they can get the elixir that can regenerate broken bones.

If he could get it, maybe he still had hope. If he couldn't get it, he was doomed to have no chance of becoming emperor.

Mu Jinning walked very fast, and the young eunuch chased her all the way to the palace gate but couldn't catch up. He had no choice but to turn back to the imperial concubine and report what had just happened.

Concubine Xiao sat there quietly until the eunuch finished speaking, then she asked the people around her to give a reward and have it sent away.

Nanny Yan said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the prince's actions have angered the emperor."

Concubine Xiao remained silent for a while before she said, "Mammy, go back to the Xiao family in person and tell father about this."

It was she who asked the Emperor to grant the marriage. Prince Ning was unwilling but did not come to see her. It was obvious that he had already developed a grudge against her.

That's not okay.

She only has this one son, and she wants to enjoy her old age in peace.

If another prince took the throne, how could she enjoy peace?

Prince Ning had been with General Xiao for quite some time and listened to him the most. If General Xiao had a talk with him, it might have a good effect.

But that bitch Zhong Ran can't be allowed to stay any longer.

I don’t know what kind of medicine she gave to King Ning. Why does he have to have her?

Another old maid beside her seemed to see what she was thinking and asked softly, "Does your Majesty still remember the Li Consort from the previous dynasty?"

Concubine Xiao frowned slightly, looked at her, and said nothing.

The nanny said softly, "Your Majesty, that Concubine Li was the only favorite in the harem for over twenty years. I heard that it was thanks to a pair of love poisons that the emperor fell deeply in love with her."

"With the prince's current condition, will he..."

"Miss Zhong was raised outside, so I think everyone's findings on her situation are pretty much the same. But what about the ones we can't find out?"

"But she's so strange and audacious, it's hard to guarantee she doesn't have someone to back her up."

Concubine Xiao frowned even more tightly: "You mean, she used a Gu on Ning'er?"

She was so angry that her body trembled slightly. If that was true, wouldn't it mean that her son would be destroyed by Zhong Ran?

That little girl has the reputation of being a disaster star. I heard that she will even affect the fate of the country. If he really insists on marrying her as his principal wife, then...

"This old servant is just guessing."

"Go find a witch doctor who knows about this to examine Ning'er. Remember, keep it confidential."

The nanny nodded, looked at Nanny Yan proudly, and went downstairs.

After leaving the palace, Mu Jinning went directly to the Marquis' Mansion. The little girl seemed too calm at the time, which made him feel uneasy.

After Zhong Ran came back from there, he read some books and walked around the house.

With Yusu following her, she couldn't go anywhere.

"If you're bored, young lady, I can take you out of town for a walk. There's a peach orchard outside the city, and I don't think you've ever been there."

Yu Su followed her and said softly, "The young master probably hasn't been out of the house much to play. We can take him out to play with us."

Zhong Ran turned to look at her, his tone very interested: "What peach orchard? Is it fun? It's only autumn now, right? Will there be peaches?"

Yu Su also smiled: "This, I am not really familiar with it, but I know that there are usually many scholars and young ladies from your family going there."

Zhong Ran was not interested in literati, but she was interested in the peach orchard.

The wood spirit energy in those places is generally quite rich, and it will be much more comfortable to walk there.

"I won't go out at this time today. Let's see tomorrow."

Zhong Ran walked towards Dailan Garden and suddenly remembered that Chen's mother and daughter seemed to have not been around her for quite some time.

Would she be so kind as to go and see them?

She originally thought of going to her place again at night to find her gold.

But now that Yu Su is here, it is not convenient for her to go out.

"Let's go see that aunt. I haven't seen her for a while and I really miss her."

"Miss, Prince Ning is here."

When he heard about Prince Ning, Zhong Ran thought of the imperial decree granting the marriage, and he suddenly felt a little annoyed.

In the past, she was only focused on cultivation and had never had these worries, and nothing could easily disturb her mood.

But now...

"Yeah." She responded lightly and turned to walk towards the front yard.

Yu Su looked at her back, frowned slightly, and then took a step to catch up.

Before he reached the front, Mu Jinning came to meet him.

"Ranran, go out for a walk?"

"Okay." Zhong Ran didn't refuse. He turned around and said to Yusu, "Yusu, you don't have to come with me. I can come back by myself when the time comes."

Yusu stopped, looked at the two people leaving, turned around and walked back.

"Ranran, you always want to leave here, we can leave at any time."

Zhong Ran looked at him in surprise: "Have you decided?"

"Well, there's nothing to linger about here."

Originally, he still cared about the social relationships and parental kindness of this body.

But this incident made him understand that no matter whether it was the emperor or the imperial concubine, in their eyes, there was only themselves.

He was just a tool they used.

In that case, there is nothing to be nostalgic about.
