Chapter 25 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind



Shangguan Ruoning suddenly realized this when she heard it.

Yes, although the restaurant owner was bribed by her, with so many people watching on the street, how could Lord Chu not find any trace?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Ruoning's face turned pale, and she suddenly felt a creepy feeling as if she was a mantis stalking a cicada while an oriole was behind it.

Seeing Shangguan Ruoning like this, the black-robed man relaxed his expression and said, "I will investigate this matter. However, judging from this incident, Su Liyue cannot stay here any longer. Once your facial wound has healed, you can return to Prince Zhan's Mansion."

These words, with a hint of irresistibility, were orders.

Shangguan Ruoning was shocked when she heard this, "I don't..."

However, under the oppressive gaze of the man in black robe, Shangguan Ruo fell silent.

For a moment, feelings of grievance and unwillingness surged in my heart.

After all, she had preserved some of her image by leaving in such a situation yesterday.

But if she goes back on her own initiative, she will still be just a concubine. How can she save face?

If you leave and then go back, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?

However, under the man's gaze, Shangguan Ruoning still nodded...

After Su Liyue returned to Qingyu Courtyard, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, thinking about what the servants in the mansion had said.

It was obvious that Nan Huai's injuries were serious. If he was not saved, he would really die.

And she wanted to save him, and she did it after careful consideration.

It's not that she is too sanctimonious, but if she wants to find out what happened five years ago, she needs a breakthrough.

The only breakthrough may be Ye Cangming's junior sister Ji Xiaohe, who is said to have been in a coma for five years. After all, she may know what happened five years ago.

Now, she didn’t know where Ji Xiaohe was, let alone getting close to her and giving her treatment.

So, if she can save the dying Nan Huai this time, can she win a little trust and get a chance to get close to Ji Xiaohe?

Thinking of this, Su Liyue got up from the bed and walked towards the courtyard where Nan Huai was.

Perhaps because it was the courtyard where the guards lived, the security was not very strict. In addition, it was late at night and there was no one around, so Su Liyue quickly found the guard's room.

However, even though she was mentally prepared, Su Liyue still gasped when she saw Nan Huaio6's wound.

The wound was on the waist and abdomen, and because there was a hidden weapon stuck in the wound that could not be removed, it is still there.

Moreover, because the injury happened too long ago, the hidden weapon has become rusty, and the wound has become red, swollen, festering and ulcerated. Looking at Nan Huai's face, he is obviously having a fever.

In this situation, even Su Liyue was not very confident.

If only there were antibiotics, disinfectants, and tetanus shots...

Just as Su Liyue was thinking this, a flash of memory suddenly broke through a certain line of defense and penetrated into Su Liyue's mind. Instantly, Su Liyue froze in place...
