Listening to their conversation, Mu Nanyan knew what they were talking about.
The scene of her confrontation with Jiang Nian just now was seen by Ning Ruyan.
She thought she was going to get hurt, so she asked her second brother to come and save her.
When they arrived, they found that she was fine.
The second prince thought she had deceived him, so he became disgruntled with her.
Thinking of this, Mu Nanyan hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother, what Miss Ning saw was true. Someone just wanted to kill me."
These words made Mu Qingyun feel a little guilty.
He was not a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. Today, the banquet was busy and he was careless for a moment, so he did not notice that Yan'er had left.
Fortunately, Yan'er was fine. Mu Qingyun felt extremely fortunate and was full of gratitude to Ning Ruyan.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingyun said to Ning Ruyan, "Your Highness has misunderstood Miss Ning. Miss Ning, just tell me what you want."
Whether it's money or something else, he will agree to it within his ability.
But he forgot that Ning Ruyan wanted nothing but him.
[Stupid Second Brother, Miss Ning only wants you]
[But you already have sister Qingyue. Are you saying this to give her hope?]
Mu Nanyan's straightforward words choked Mu Qingyun.
His face turned red and white, and he almost failed.
[Since the incident was caused by me, I will solve it.]
Realizing that Mu Qingyun was in a dilemma, Mu Nanyan decided to solve the problem herself.
"Miss Ning helped me, how can I let Second Brother thank me? I have to thank her in person to show my sincerity." Mu Nanyan said slowly.
"No need, little princess. I didn't do anything anyway." Ning Ruyan refused without even thinking about it.
Mu Nanyan didn't want to owe anyone anything, so she took out a stack of banknotes from her arms and handed it to Ning Ruyan.
Silver notes are the best choice for her.
"Don't think about rejecting me, Miss Ning, this is what you deserve." Mu Nanyue looked at her with a smile.
Ning Ruyan had no choice but to accept Mu Nanyan's kindness.
"Let's go back. Dad will be worried if he doesn't see us."
As soon as he returned to the hall, Mu Qingchen spotted the two of them and called them over in a low voice.
"Yan'er, Second Brother, where have you been?" Mu Qingchen asked curiously.
This question stumped Mu Qingyun. He decided not to talk about what happened just now so as not to worry him.
While she was stunned, Mu Nanyan looked Mu Qingchen up and down, raised her lips and smiled, "Sixth brother, curiosity kills the cat."
"Or do you have something you want to give me?"
Mu Qingchen felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were discovered.
When it came to giving her something, he became interested.
"My royal brother has developed a new kind of pastry. Yan'er, please try it and see if it suits your taste." Mu Qingchen took out a box of pastries as if he was presenting a treasure.
Mu Nanyan took the box, opened it, and smelled an enticing aroma.
She picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. The cake was soft and chewy, with a fruity texture, a flavor she had never had before.
"How is it? Is it delicious? Do you feel refreshed?" Mu Qingchen looked at her expectantly.
Mu Nanyan nodded. This pastry was indeed different from what she had eaten before.
He added a lot of lemon and other fruits to this pastry.
Eating these fruits can relieve fatigue, and people who have eaten them will immediately feel refreshed.
The reason for the research on this cake is that the Queen suffered from insomnia some time ago.
The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was too bitter. Although good medicine tastes bitter, she could not accept it.
Long-term insomnia made her very miserable and she looked a lot thinner.
After hearing about it, Mu Qingchen researched a kind of pastry. After she ate it, she felt sleepy that night.
After eating it for a period of time, my face became rosy and shiny, and my complexion improved a lot.
[If I had been there when the Empress suffered from insomnia, it would have been better.]
Unfortunately, she and Mu Qingyun were at the border at that time and could not reach them.
[Sixth brother is really a good and filial child]
Of course, don’t you see who he is?
He also wanted to research foods that could make people lose weight, and then sell them for money, which would surely make him a lot of money.
After getting Yan'er's approval, Mu Qingchen looked at Emperor Hui complacently, as if to say, you see, Yan'er likes the food I gave her.
Emperor Hui's face turned ugly.
Boy, don’t be too proud too soon. Yan’er will definitely like the gift I gave her more.
He called the eunuch beside him and gave him a few instructions.
After a while, the eunuch came over with a wooden box in his hand.
Everyone turned their eyes to the wooden box, curious about what was inside.
When the eunuch opened the box, he saw a three-inch-long pale yellow agate inside, with a red peony inlaid in the middle.
When everyone saw the agate, a look of disappointment flashed across their faces. Isn't this just ordinary agate? They have plenty of it at home.
For ordinary people, agate is a rare thing, but for ministers, they have seen everything.
Some people even thought that Emperor Hui no longer doted on the little princess, and even used ordinary things like agate to make up the number.
After three rounds of drinking, stimulated by alcohol, the ministers became bolder and even dared to tease Emperor Hui's intentions.
Emperor Hui raised his cold eyes and glanced at the minister, scaring him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not continue talking nonsense.
Seeing this, the other ministers became cautious.
As expected, living with a king is like living with a tiger. No matter how much they play around, they can't arbitrarily frame him.
Mu Nanyan didn't care what others said, she just stared at the agate.
Hmm, I don't see anything special about it.
Emperor Hui seemed to know what she was thinking and reached out to touch the flower.
A strange thing happened. Everyone saw the flower shrink in an instant, like a bud about to bloom.
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Emperor Hui couldn't help but smile.
He moved his fingers again and touched the flowers, and the flowers began to move again. The red peonies slowly blossomed before their eyes.
It turns out that although this agate looks small, there is a mechanism underneath that ordinary people cannot see at all.
This thing was a gift from a small country that was affiliated with Nanzhao State a long time ago.
[Is this thing so magical?]
Emperor Hui noticed Mu Nanyan's surprise. He glanced at Mu Qingchen with provocation in his eyes.
Brat, let me open your eyes.
Then he moved the agate again, and its base stretched out and turned into the shape of a hairpin.
This is no ordinary hairpin. If you stab someone with it, it will emit poisonous substances.
And its antidote lies in the bud of the agate.
After hearing Emperor Hui's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Emperor Hui really doted on the little princess, and this hairpin was given to her as a self-defense weapon.
If an unaware person wanted to harm the little princess and was stabbed by the hairpin, he would definitely be poisoned without knowing it.
I heard that this poison is rare in the world and is very toxic. Once you are infected, it is difficult to cure.
Only by taking the antidote contained in the agate can he be saved.
