Chapter 61 Shangguan Nanxing is poisoned
"I have failed to do my job well, please punish me, Third Prince!" Next to Shangguan Nanxing, a middle-aged man in armor was kneeling. Perhaps because of nervousness, the man's head was covered in sweat.
He knew about Long Aotian, but he was the godson of a popular figure close to the emperor, and he was also very sensible. The emperor would give some of the protection fees to himself, so he usually turned a blind eye.
Unexpectedly, this time he would hit the third prince's iron plate. You know, the third prince is the emperor's most beloved prince. If he hadn't been ill, the throne would have been a sure thing.
"Drag them all away. I don't want to see this group of people here again. Also, go and receive your punishment after you're done." Shangguan Nanxing didn't even look at the commander of the guards and walked straight into the pharmacy.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Before, Ruofeng came hurriedly to report that Yue'er had bought a medicine shop and started to purchase a large amount of Isatis root. He suddenly thought of the highly contagious disease in his previous life, which required Isatis root.
I didn't expect that Yue'er still remembered the things that I had forgotten.
However, after hearing what Ruofeng said next, that Yue'er had disturbed someone else's pharmacy and a gangster had gone out to look for someone, he couldn't help but feel worried, so he immediately left the house to find the commander of the guards and brought her over directly.
Before entering the door, she saw a big man who was much taller and stronger than Yue'er, and was about to attack Yue'er.
"Why are you here?" Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing and asked casually, hiding the silver needle in her hand without leaving a trace, but Ruofeng who was not far away still saw this action.
Ruofeng had no expression on his face, but he was secretly muttering in his heart that judging from Su Yue's actions, even if his master didn't come, this group of thugs would probably not end up well.
"I was just strolling outside, and saw that it was quite noisy over here, so I came over to take a look." Shangguan Nanxing tried his best to suppress the concern that was about to come out of his mouth, and instead spoke in a faint tone.
Commander Jiang saw Su Yue standing in the pharmacy, with striking yellow hair. Who else could she be but the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment, Long Aotian happened to wake up slowly, and Commander Jiang immediately crawled and ran to Long Aotian's side.
With a "pa" sound, he gave him another slap in the face.
"You are blind. You dare to hit the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't you want to live?" Commander Jiang looked at Long Aotian viciously, wishing he could kill him with a single blow.
Hearing that the little girl in front of him was actually the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he looked at Su Yue in shock, and then at Xiao He beside him.
It seems that just now, this little maid of this naughty girl said that her master was the second lady of the Su Mansion. However, I didn’t think much about it at that time. Now I think, in this imperial city, the only family that can be called the Su Mansion is the Prime Minister’s Mansion, right?
"Abba... Abba Abba..." Long Aotian was kicked by Ruofeng before and could no longer speak. He could only drag his paralyzed hand to Su Yue's side, kowtowing repeatedly to admit his mistake. No one present could understand what he was saying.
When the other big men heard that this girl was actually the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
Su Yue just looked coldly at the big men kneeling in front of her without saying a word. Long Aotian was anxious and wanted to pull the hem of Su Yue's skirt with his left hand.
"You don't want your left hand anymore, right?" Shangguan Nanxing, who had been silent beside him, spoke in a gloomy tone, scaring Long Aotian so much that he withdrew his left hand.
Su Yue looked back, as if startled by his words, and glanced at Shangguan Nanxing, but what she saw was just peach blossom eyes full of indifference and alienation, as if she had overthought.
"Someone come, take Long Aotian and the others away." Commander Jiang saw that Su Yue didn't seem to want to say anything, so he asked them to take these thugs away.
"Commander Jiang, from what I just heard from Long Aotian, it seems like he has been doing evil in this imperial city for a long time." Su Yue looked at Commander Jiang's back as he left, fiddling with the silver needle beside her while giving a seemingly casual reminder.
After hearing this, Commander Jiang felt a chill down his spine. Doesn't this mean that Long Aotian was like this partly because of him?
He was so scared that he turned around and knelt on the ground, "Su... Miss Su, I will handle this impartially." When Long Aotian heard this, he knew that he had really hit a tough guy. He tilted his head and fainted again.
After everyone left, only Shangguan Nanxing and Su Yue were left in the pharmacy. An indescribable atmosphere lingered in the pharmacy.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Shangguan Nanxing looked at the girl who was so close to him, his throat tightened, but he suppressed the heartbeat that was about to jump out of his chest, and spoke in a distant tone.
I haven't seen her for a few days. She seems to have lost a lot of weight. There seems to be almost no flesh on her face. Her small face, the size of a palm, makes her eyes look very big.
"Thank you for today." Su Yue was not stupid. She could hear the alienation in his tone and couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.
Hearing the girl's thanks behind him, Shangguan Nanxing paused as he was about to step out of the pharmacy. He stammered for a long time with his thin lips, with a thousand words stuck in his throat, but in the end he said nothing.
"Cough cough cough..." A very strong cough came, and Shangguan Nanxing couldn't help coughing. Even his steps became unsteady, and his slender fingers directly grasped the door frame.
Seeing Shangguan Nanxing coughing so hard that he could hardly stand, Su Yue couldn't help but take a few steps forward and pretend to support him. However, she was still a step too slow, as Ruofeng had already supported Shangguan Nanxing.
"Master, are you okay?" Seeing Ruofeng's concerned look, Su Yue withdrew her outstretched right hand disappointedly.
"It's okay, let's go, cough cough cough..." Shangguan Nanxing waved his hands and wanted to go outside with Ruofeng's support.
But the next moment. With a "puff" sound, Shangguan Nanxing spat out a mouthful of blood, fell into Ruofeng's arms, and lost consciousness.
"Master? Master! Miss Su, come over and see the master!" Ruofeng looked at Shangguan Nanxing's pale face, and the usually cold and ruthless him also became anxious.
The moment Su Yue saw Shangguan Nanxing faint, her body rushed to his side without her brain's control, and she knelt on the ground, pulled Shangguan Nanxing over, and fell into her arms.
A familiar smell filled her nose, and Su Yue's mind dazed. She seemed to see Shangguan Nanxing kissing her passionately.
Her face turned red and she wanted to slap herself. What was she thinking about at this time?
Her hand skillfully rested on Shangguan Nanxing's wrist. His pulse was extremely irregular, and Su Yue's face was becoming darker and darker.
"Who is responsible for Brother Nanxing's daily food and daily life?" Su Yue looked at Ruofeng with a cold tone, and she didn't even notice that her address had changed.
"It looks like Butler Wang. Is there something wrong?" Ruofeng was stunned, and looking at Su Yue's expression he knew something was wrong.
"Move Brother Nanxing to the inner room, he has been poisoned!" Su Yue stared at the terrifying Shangguan Nanxing whose lips were so pale. A pain that she could not describe emerged from the bottom of her heart and spread to her limbs.
"This?!" A hint of shock appeared in Ruofeng's eyes.
"There are quite a few poisonous snakes in your Third Prince's Mansion." Su Yue looked at Ruofeng, with undisguised blame in her eyes and a murderous intent that she herself had not even noticed.
