Chapter 457 Poisoning Fuping
When Mo Jingxuan heard Fuping say this, his expression changed slightly, but it was only for a moment. He didn't want to use force now. After all, most of the people in the Princess' Mansion were from Dongyou.
"Have a bite. I have waited so long for this." Mo Jingxuan suppressed his temper and smiled gently.
"Why don't you eat it? I'm really not hungry." Fu Ping saw that his direct refusal did not arouse Mo Jingxuan's disgust. Instead, he kept urging him to drink the porridge. There must be something wrong with the porridge.
"Fuping, I advise you not to refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit." When Mo Jingxuan heard Fuping's repeated refusals, his face turned cold and he threw the spoon directly into the bowl.
"I don't understand what you are saying. I'm just not hungry." Seeing Mo Jingxuan looking at her angrily, Fuping stood up and retreated to the door while speaking.
Mo Jingxuan came back too late. The servants and maids had all gone to rest. As for the guards in the mansion, they would only pass by her every once in a while. Now she was a little panicked.
When Mo Jingxuan saw Fuping retreating behind him, he naturally guessed that she had noticed something wrong with the porridge.
So he strode forward. Seeing this, Fuping hurriedly turned around and prepared to run to the door to open it and ask for help.
However, when he was just a finger's distance away from the door, he was caught by Mo Jingxuan.
Then Fuping felt Mo Jingxuan pinching her neck and dragging her to the table to the porridge.
Fuping tried her best to pull at Mo Jingxuan's wrist, but couldn't move it at all. She wanted to call for help, but after Mo Jingxuan grabbed her neck, she had difficulty breathing, let alone making any sound.
Then Mo Jingxuan looked at the porridge on the table and then at Fuping.
He suddenly raised his other hand and slashed at the back of Fuping's neck. Fuping felt pain and fell into darkness the next moment.
"Trouble, if I had known I would have just knocked you unconscious, wasting my time."
Seeing Fuping slumped on the ground, Mo Jingxuan said something with disgust. Then he took out the blood-red porcelain bottle, poured some water into it, shook it well, pinched Fuping's mouth open, and poured the water directly into his mouth.
"Fortunately, I didn't put all the medicine in the porridge just to be on the safe side. But how did Fu Ping know that there was something wrong with the porridge?"
After Mo Jingxuan poured the medicine into Fuping's mouth, he muttered something with some doubt.
Mo Jingxuan couldn't figure out what went wrong, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He simply picked up Fuping and put her on the bed, waiting for the poison he had specially found to take effect.
Shangguan Nanxing, who had already rested, was awakened by an urgent report from his subordinates. That person was planted in the Shura Sect by himself in case the people from the Shura Sect could not find him when something unusual happened.
If he comes to me at this time, it must be that something big has happened.
After comforting Su Yue for a while, he got up and went to the study.
"Your Highness, we have received news that they will take action tomorrow." The man panted and whispered while kneeling on the ground.
"Tomorrow? Any instructions?" Shangguan Nanxing was obviously stunned when he heard Mo Jingxuan's speed, but he asked immediately.
"Yes, we have received instructions from over there, asking us to surround Princess Fuping's Mansion." The man answered Shangguan Nanxing's question cautiously and told the truth.
"Princess's Mansion? It's not the Imperial Palace?" Shangguan Nanxing murmured subconsciously when he heard the man say this, but he immediately thought of something else.
"This Mo Jingxuan is very thoughtful. I understand. Pass the order down and follow the order from there to surround the Princess's Mansion."
After Shangguan Nanxing gave the order, he let the messenger leave.
"Knowing that the Imperial Palace is difficult to attack, I want to start from the Princess's Mansion. Mo Jingxuan, I wonder what reason you will give to let my father and me go there tomorrow?"
Shangguan Nanxing tapped lightly on the edge of the table and spoke softly.
