"Huh? The king's law? I'll let you know what the king's law is right now."
The man pushed Li Siniang to his companion and rushed towards Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning was a little panicked, after all, she was powerless. Seeing the man right in front of her, she could not care about anything else and could only turn around and run.
Unfortunately, she was unlucky and slipped on a stone, falling to the ground with her butt, grimacing in pain.
"ah!"
A scream came from behind, and Shangguan Wanning only felt a figure passing over her head. When she came to her senses and looked up, she met a pair of deep eyes.
She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Why do I always get met by Mu Jingrui when I’m in the most embarrassing situation?
"What day is it today? There are all kinds of people everywhere trying to meddle in other people's business. I...ah!"
Another man pushed Li Siniang away and rushed over, but was also knocked to the ground by Mu Jingrui with a palm.
"Can you get up?"
Mu Jingrui looked down at Shangguan Wanning with a somewhat cold tone.
Shangguan Wanning nodded, gritted her teeth and stood up. "Thank you..."
Mu Jingrui frowned slightly. He really didn't like her politeness and distance towards him.
"Don't run."
When Shangguan Wanning saw Li Siniang running forward, she hurriedly chased after her, but she was in so much pain from the fall that she couldn't help but gasp as soon as she took a step.
Mu Jingrui turned over and stood in front of Li Siniang.
"Please spare my life... Lord Mu, please spare my life and let me go..." Li Siniang kowtowed to Mu Jingrui repeatedly, crying bitterly out of fear.
Shangguan Wan Ning limped to Li Siniang and shouted, "Spare my life? You still want to live? You murdered the royal bloodline. Not only you, but even your family will be beheaded and exiled."
"It's none of my business... Miss, please be merciful and let me go." Li Siniang lay on the ground and didn't dare to look up and look at Shangguan Wan.
"Of course I know that you didn't take the initiative to harm Xiaoxiao, but you were the one who did it. If you really don't want to die, tell me the truth, who ordered you to do it?"
"This..." Li Siniang trembled with fear, crawling on the ground and shaking all over, wanting to say something but hesitant to open her mouth.
Shangguan Wanning smiled coldly and said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I won't kill you either, so you can go. But you have to think it through. They have already sent someone to kill you, can you escape?"
After saying that, Shangguan Wanning took Mu Jingrui's hand and turned to leave. "Your corpse lying on the street has nothing to do with me."
Mu Jingrui felt the warmth coming from Shangguan Wanning's palm and couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.
This girl is becoming more and more clever. She even knows how to play hard to get.
Fortunately, he followed her quietly today, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Siniang watched Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning walking further and further away, and although the two people responsible for killing her were unconscious, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be a next time?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she crawled after him.
"Miss, I say...I say..."
Shangguan Wanning stopped and raised a victorious smile.
"You only have one chance. If what you say does not satisfy me..."
"Miss, if I tell you everything, can you guarantee my safety?"
Shangguan Wanning turned her head and glanced at Mu Jingrui, patted his chest, and said, "With Lord Mu and the people leading the entire Shenji Camp protecting you, what are you afraid of?"
Mu Jingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his face remained expressionless.
Li Siniang gradually calmed down, lowered her head as if she was a little ashamed, and said slowly: "Miss, in fact... I had no choice."
"Ever since I and the Second Miss were married to the Prince of Qin's mansion, because the Second Miss is not favored and the people in the mansion are all mean people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak, we servants have had a hard time. Especially after the Princess of Qin came in, she made things difficult for the Second Miss everywhere."
"During the day, the Second Miss was bullied by the Princess; at night, the King of Qin always tortured her. Sometimes I would hear her screams outside the door and feel terrified. The Second Miss was unhappy and always took her anger out on me and others. My life was like hell."
"Although the King of Qin always tortured the Second Miss, she happened to be pregnant. The princess was of course jealous. I don't know how many evil thoughts she had in mind. The Second Miss was not a fool, of course she saw it. The princess probably didn't expect that the Second Miss would actually return to her parents' home for help."
"She secretly found me and asked me to deliberately press a few more acupuncture points when massaging the Second Miss, and quietly added musk to her usual incense. So..."
After Li Siniang finished speaking, she was already sobbing.
Shangguan Wanning remained silent, just listening and thinking.
Ling Zhiru wanted to harm Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and her motives were reasonable, but...
"As far as I know, your long-term incorrect massage will stop the baby's growth in the womb, plus the effect of musk. Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't know and didn't notice it. Didn't the imperial physician who was responsible for her pregnancy also find out?"
"My lady, this... I really don't know. I was also worried that the imperial physician would find out, but every time the imperial physician took my pulse, he never said anything."
"It seems that something is fishy." Mu Jingrui said thoughtfully.
Shangguan Wanning had actually already suspected the two imperial doctors a long time ago. Ling Zhiru's arrival at such a timely moment in such a threatening manner was probably related to these two people.
"Miss, I have told you everything I know. You must save me..." Li Siniang excitedly pulled Shangguan Wanning's skirt and begged desperately.
Shangguan Wanning lowered her eyelids and thought. She still needed some time to investigate the imperial physician, so she could only find a place to accommodate Li Si Niang temporarily.
The question is where to place it?
Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Definitely not.
"Leave her to me, I'll take care of her."
As soon as Mu Jingrui finished speaking, Shangguan Wanning turned to look at him with a complicated expression.
"I……"
Mu Jingrui took out a firework as thick as his little finger from his arms, lit it and shot it into the sky.
Not long after, two men in black came over with light skills.
"Master Mu summoned me, what do you want?"
"Take this woman away and keep her under strict guard. No one is allowed to approach her without my permission."
"yes."
The man in black carried Li Siniang onto the roof again without saying a word.
Shangguan Wanning watched their figures disappear and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she come to her senses and she and Mu Jingrui's hands were still clasped together.
She was slightly startled, and quickly pulled it back, a blush quickly appearing on her cheeks.
"I...I should go back."
Shangguan Wanning was a little flustered. When she turned around, her movement was too big and she fell into Mu Jingrui's arms.
