The atmosphere in the mansion was very depressing, and everyone felt like they had lost their parents.
The further Su Liyue walked, the more she felt something was wrong. The servants she saw along the way were either cautious or gathered together to talk in low voices, but they all dispersed when Su Liyue approached.
So in the end, Su Liyue only heard words like "injured" and "critical".
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Su Liyue reached out and grabbed a servant who was about to slip away.
"What happened in the mansion?" Su Liyue asked the servant with sharp eyes.
Originally, influenced by the events of five years ago, the servants in the mansion disliked Su Liyue. In the past two days, Su Liyue had caused a lot of trouble, which made the servants in Prince Zhan's mansion even more dissatisfied with Su Liyue.
However, when facing Su Liyue's sharp eyes, the servant became scared.
"Reply...Princess, Guard Nan Huai is injured and his life is in danger."
Ye Cangming has a total of four personal bodyguards: Fufeng, Linchuan, Nanhuai and Nanjing.
Normally, these four guards had their own division of labor, and the original owner and Su Liyue only stayed in the palace for a few days in total, so Su Liyue had never met Nan Huai and Nan Jing.
It is said that Nan Huai was injured while on a mission this time. His condition was very serious and even the imperial physician could only shake his head.
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue asked where Nan Huai lived, and then walked towards him.
As soon as Su Liyue arrived at the courtyard where Nan Huai was, she met the gaze of Ye Cangming, who walked out of the house with a cold air.
Thinking of the look Ye Cangming gave her when he left the court, Su Liyue paused slightly.
However, no matter what, Ye Cangming had helped him today, so he took the initiative to say, "Let me go in and take a look, maybe I can help."
When Ye Cangming heard this and thought of Nan Huai's injury, his face under the mask suddenly turned dark, and the coldness around him became more and more intense.
"Come here, clear out all the outsiders in the yard." Ye Cangming spoke coldly without any mercy.
And this group of people was naturally Su Liyue.
Su Liyue was extremely angry and shouted angrily, "Ye Cangming, I came here to save people—"
"Princess, please come in--" Two guards have come to Su Liyue.
At this time, Ye Cangming had already left without looking back.
Although Su Liyue was angry, she could do nothing about it.
He glanced at the room where Nan Huai was, turned around and left with a sullen face.
…
At this time, Shangguan family.
In Shangguan Ruoning's room, the maid had been sent away by Shangguan Ruoning, and only Shangguan Ruoning and a man in black robe were left in the room.
"Why are you here..."
"Pa——" a slap landed on Shangguan Ruoning's face, interrupting what she was about to say.
In an instant, a bright red slap mark appeared on Shangguan Ruoning's face.
Shangguan Ruoning was stunned by the blow and didn't react for a moment. She only felt a burning sensation on her face and a buzzing sound in her head.
After a long time, Shangguan Ruoning looked at the black-robed man standing in front of her with an expression of disbelief. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth tightly, not letting the tears flow out. There was a hint of stubbornness on her pale face, which made people feel pity for her.
However, the black-robed man clearly had no intention of showing any mercy to Shangguan Ruoning. He simply looked at her coldly, his voice low and filled with anger, "Who allowed you to cause trouble?"
Obviously, the man in black robe came to call for punishment.
Shangguan Ruoning heard this and realized that the person in front of her was looking for her because of what happened in Jingzhao Prefecture today. She didn't care about being wronged and said quickly, "I didn't do this..."
The man in black robe looked at Shangguan Ruoning with gloomy eyes, and his expression clearly showed that he did not believe what Shangguan Ruoning said.
When Shangguan Ruoning saw this, a hint of panic flashed across her eyes.
Under the gaze of the black-robed man, Shangguan Ruoning said with some hesitation, "Although I sent people to Puhuai Temple, I only sent them to stab the Concubine Dowager to teach Su Liyue a lesson. I don't know why the hairpin appeared on Huijue's body, and I never thought of taking this matter to court. This was definitely not my doing."
Although she had poisoned the hairpin, it was not fatal and would only make people fall into a coma.
Because she originally planned to wait until the prince dealt with Su Liyue, and then she would come forward to cure Master Huian's poison, so that the prince would owe her a favor.
But who knew that even though she had planned all this, things did not go as she had imagined.
She didn't know what went wrong, and she didn't know why Su Liyue knew medical skills...
All this was out of her control, making her feel anxious for no reason.
However, when the black-robed man listened to Shangguan Ruoning's words, there was still doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't believe it.
Shangguan Ruoning saw this and quickly raised her hand and swore, "I swear, everything I said is true. I really haven't concealed a single word, and I dare not ruin your plan..."
She just wanted to deal with Su Liyue.
Seeing Shangguan Ruoning so anxious, the man in black robe frowned even more.
Since it wasn't Shangguan Ruoning who did it, then who did it?
"How did you get the hairpin?" asked the man in black robe.
Shangguan Ruoning heard what happened and told the whole story.
It turned out that Shangguan Ruoning's people saw Su Liyue helping the little beggar on the street yesterday, so they asked someone to buy the hairpin from the big man.
It just so happened that the owner of the restaurant had some connection with her, so the matter was easy to resolve.
"No!" The man in black robe frowned.
Shangguan Ruoning looked at him with a hint of caution in her eyes, "What's wrong?"
"If that's all, Lord Chu can't possibly find out anything. Have you made any other arrangements?" The man in black robe looked solemn.
