Since Sister Mu Ran was unwilling to talk about it, the little dumpling didn't want to keep pressing her for answers.
There are too many people now, she will ask Sister Mu Ran slowly when there are fewer people.
The little dumpling took out a red ginseng pill and made Mu Ran eat it.
She had just been cured of the Corpse Demon Worm's poison, and her body was still very weak. She needed to take a red ginseng pill to replenish her strength.
Watching Sister Mu Ran swallow the pill, the little dumpling moved closer to Princess Nan.
"Auntie, do you remember what you promised me just now?"
Princess Nan coughed a few times, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm willing to accept defeat. Tell me, how do you want to punish me?"
Princess Nan stood tall, displaying a heroic and righteous demeanor as she faced death.
"emmmm"
The little dumpling thought for a moment, but it seemed that it couldn't figure out what it wanted the Princess Consort of the South to do.
So he said, "I don't know for now. Why don't you just owe me for now, Aunt? I'll tell you when I think of it."
“Alright!” Princess Nan readily agreed.
Princess Nan was, after all, a noblewoman born into a prestigious family. Although she disliked the little dumpling, she was a person of integrity and loyalty.
While the two were talking, Granny Chang rushed back.
Granny Chang, with a solemn expression, reported to Su Ruiling:
"That imperial physician... he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Su Ruiling's eyes as she said, "He's quick to take matters into his own hands."
Upon hearing that the imperial physician had died, the little boy rushed forward and grabbed Su Ruiling's hand.
"Aunt, can I have Sister Mu Ran as a gift?"
She couldn't let anything happen to Mu Ran again, otherwise all the mysteries would remain unsolved.
Su Ruiling naturally agreed to accept the offer, as it was just a palace maid position.
Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do here, Princess Nan bid farewell to Su Ruiling and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Princess Nan still had one more thing to say to Su Ruiling:
"There are people in the palace who practice insect poisoning. Although the imperial physician is dead, I feel that things may not be so simple. Your Majesty, you still need to investigate more thoroughly."
Su Ruiling nodded; she knew in her heart that this matter was not simple.
When Su Ruiling brought the little dumpling back to Duande Palace, Mu Jinnian had already been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing her brother, the little dumpling immediately let go of Su Ruiling's hand, her face beaming with a bright smile.
"elder brother!"
The little dumpling let out a sweet cry and jumped into Mu Jinnian's arms.
Mu Jinnian caught her firmly and kissed her on the forehead.
After only a few days apart, Mu Jinnian felt as if a piece of his heart was missing, and he held the little one in his arms tightly.
"Do you miss your brother?" Mu Jinnian asked, stroking the little dumpling's head.
The little dumpling nodded, "Yes~"
The thought melted Mu Jinnian's heart.
Mu Jinnian: "Brother misses you too, and Father and Grandfather miss you too. Shall we go home tonight?"
Especially the old lord of the family, who talks about the little dumpling every day, and today he even gave him a death order - if he can't bring his precious granddaughter back, he doesn't need to come home!
Upon hearing Mu Jinnian's words, Su Ruiling quickly stepped forward to try and stop him.
Her little dumpling has only been with her for a few days, why does she have to go back so soon?
However, Su Ruiling also thought about the insect poison incident in the palace, and she still needed to find the real culprit.
Therefore, it is indeed inconvenient for the little dumpling to stay in the palace any longer.
Su Ruiling had no choice but to suppress her reluctance and let the little dumpling stay with her until evening.
They were allowed to leave only after having dinner.
When they left, the little dumpling took Mu Ran with her.
The little dumpling was lifted onto the horse's back by Mu Jinnian again. The little guy was no longer afraid and happily stroked the horse beneath him.
"Good boy, horse, here's some grass for you."
Looking at the little dumpling's adorable appearance, Mu Jin chuckled softly.
His handsome smile was like a dazzling star in the sky, and Mu Ran was momentarily mesmerized. It wasn't until Mu Jinnian turned to look at her that she realized she had lost her composure.
Mu Ran's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.
Mu Jinnian looked at the palace maid in front of him. She was pretty and charming, but she was always timid and shy.
"Can you ride a horse?" Mu Jinnian asked.
Mu Ran felt her face getting even hotter. She didn't even dare to speak to Mu Jinnian and could only shake her head.
I can't ride a horse!
Mu Jinnian scratched his head in distress; it seemed he had no choice but to take Mu Ran with him.
Mu Jinnian patted the saddle and said to Mu Ran, "Come on, step into the stirrups and get on the horse."
Mu Ran nodded and walked to the front of the horse.
It was her first time riding a horse, and she had no idea how to mount it, so she became flustered and confused.
Mu Jinnian laughed out loud at her clumsy appearance.
He had no choice but to let Mu Ran put one foot on the stirrup, support her waist, and help her up.
"Ah!" Suddenly being put on a horse, Mu Ran screamed in panic.
The little boy sitting in front of her immediately patted her hand, comforting her:
"Don't be afraid, Sister Mu Ran, the horse won't hurt you."
The horse beneath him neighed twice, as if to say, "I'm very steady! Don't worry! Even children aren't afraid, so what are you afraid of!"
