Chapter 324 Mu Yao's Death
Chen Ning sat on the horse's back. This horse was obviously a rare good horse. It was still running at an extremely fast speed, like chasing the wind and stepping on the moon, carrying two people, and took her and Mu Yao straight forward.
They were heading towards the seaside.
Mu Yao whispered, "There's a boat waiting there. On board are people you know. Ningning can go to Liaodong to look for your people... You must have a way."
After all, it was he who rescued her from the palace. Shen Ning paused and asked, "What about you?"
He was obviously Xiao Nanyong's man, and now he had betrayed Xiao Nanyong. Given Xiao Nanyong's personality, he was afraid he would have no way to survive.
But he is the leader of Tianxin Sect after all, so he shouldn't be left with nowhere to go.
But at this moment, Shen Ning suddenly felt a weight on her back... Mu Yao actually pressed down on her back.
Shen Ning frowned suddenly, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that Mu Yao's breathing frequency was not right.
"Are you hurt?"
She turned around and saw Mu Yao's profile, which was as pale as paper.
He pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "Hmm..."
Xiao Nanrong knew him too well, and it was difficult to kill him, so he used Shen Ning as a cover... Xiao Nanrong knew that even if he died, he would not let anything happen to Shen Ning.
Shen Ning subconsciously wanted to pull the reins to stop, but was stopped by Mu Yao's hand. His voice was already a little light: "Don't waste time, Ning Ning."
Shen Ning suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart...
Soon, they reached the beach.
This is not a big ferry, but just a shallow bay where a small Fu ship is docked. When they approached, several figures immediately appeared on the ship. Shen Ning immediately recognized the leader as Nu Jiaolong.
The next moment, Nu Jiaolong brought people ashore to greet them: "Master, Prince."
Even though the two of them had changed their appearance, Jiaolong knew the abilities of her own leader and could guess who the other person was.
The horse stopped, and Shen Ning hurriedly said, "Be careful, he is injured."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a lightness on his back, and Mu Yao actually slid down softly, and was quickly caught by Nu Jiaolong and others.
Shen Ning immediately dismounted and was about to check on Mu Yao's injuries when she heard Nu Jiaolong whisper, "Master..."
At that moment, Chen Ning saw the tip of an arrow piercing Mu Yao's heart... He was pierced through the heart by an arrow, but he didn't even make a sound. If he hadn't been exhausted before, Chen Ning wouldn't even know that he was injured.
Shen Ning was a doctor, and she knew that Mu Yao's injuries were beyond saving. The reason he had been able to hold on for so long was because the arrow had blocked his blood vessels... Once it was pulled out, he would die instantly.
If he didn't pull out the arrow, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Nu Jiaolong's eyes turned red, he bit his lip, then dragged those people away to the boat, leaving the sound of Mu Yao and Shen Ning talking.
Shen Ning's heart was a little confused.
Someone was about to die in front of her because of her... This was a situation she had never imagined, and she was a little scared.
"You, you are the leader of Tianxin Sect, you know many unusual skills, do you, do you have any other solutions?"
Chen Ning spoke quickly: "You try it, weren't you still alive after being shot and falling off the city wall last time? You...you guys also know witchcraft, so there should be a way, right?"
"Would you like to try it?"
Shen Ning panicked, and her voice trembled.
Mu Yao had lied to her, plotted against her, and helped her... More importantly, she knew everything about him, so her feelings at this moment became even more complicated and difficult to discern.
Mu Yao saw Chen Ning's panic and slowly raised the corners of his lips: "That's great, Ning Ning doesn't want me to die, right? So, you don't hate me that much, right?"
Shen Ning moved her lips, not knowing what to say.
It was Mu Yao who was going to die, but at this moment he was actually comforting Chen Ning: "Don't be sad, Ning Ning, I made an agreement with Prince Ding. I will ensure your safety. He promised that after he came to power, he would abolish slavery and let people like our family live like human beings... Now, I have done it."
"I even saved you. Is there a more perfect ending than this?"
Mu Yao smiled, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Ningning, I really, really never wanted to hurt you... I have no other choice. There are many people who believe in me and wait for me to change their fate. Those things are too heavy. I have no choice, Ningning..."
"The Second Prince told us that he would be a benevolent, diligent, and wise ruler. He would abolish slavery and give slaves like me and us a way out. He would never again allow people to live a life lower than that of animals..."
Mu Yao sneered: "But now he wants to give the entire Liaodong to foreigners. I almost became a minion and executioner of the evildoer, slaughtering lowly people like me."
"Ningning, what I said last time was also sincere. This world should be given to someone as good as you. Prince Ding is barely okay, but he can't compare to you."
Mu Yao's eyes were already somewhat distracted, but he was still smiling: "...Over the years, I have done many wrong things, and have done many things that have let you down."
"Ningning, please don't hate me, don't dislike me, okay?"
Shen Ning knew that he couldn't hold on any longer...
They had been enemies for a long time, but at this moment, she was filled with sadness.
Perhaps it was because she had seen too many people helpless and helpless, or because she knew how hard and painful his life was... She didn't want to see this person die like this.
Especially since he died saving her.
Mu Yao pleaded in a low voice: "Ningning, please don't hate me anymore, okay?"
Shen Ning's eyes turned red, and she nodded: "Okay..."
A gorgeous smile appeared on Mu Yao's pale face. He took a deep breath and said, "That's great."
"Ningning, if there really is a Naihe Bridge, I will definitely not drink Mengpo soup. I must remember Ningning... If there is an afterlife, I must remember you. I want to be someone who can get to know you sincerely and cleanly... Ningning, when that time comes, let's be friends, okay?"
Shen Ning closed her eyes, tears falling, and she said, "Okay."
"Then let's make a pinky promise."
Mu Yao raised his hand and hooked his pinky finger: "It's a pinky promise. You can't change your mind, Ningning."
Chen Ning sniffed, stretched out her hand and hooked her little finger around his… Mu Yao’s eyes blossomed with extreme joy and happiness, and he said, “That’s great…”
His thin, slender hand suddenly slipped away, and the light in his eyes, which were always smiling, gradually dimmed. He leaned softly against Shen Ning's shoulder, as if he had fallen asleep, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his lips...
Shen Ning stared blankly at the person in her arms, her whole body a little dazed.
He died saving her!
"Your Majesty..."
Nu Jiaolong had already arrived behind Shen Ning without knowing when. Her eyes were a little red, and she patted Shen Ning's shoulder lightly: "The leader has left."
“The leader told us before that if he died, he should be buried in the sea.
He said he was trapped in a cage, had experienced a lot of filth, and wanted to find the cleanest and freest place..."
Shen Ning took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay."
After a while, the Fu ship sailed away from the shore.
After entering the sea, a small boat was put into the water.
Chen Ning asked the people brought by Nu Jiaolong to change Mu Yao into his favorite red clothes and covered him with a thin blanket. Nu Jiaolong held a silver nude in Mu Yao's hand.
She sniffed and said to Shen Ning, "Let the leader take the money with him on his journey. If he encounters any troublesome little devils, he can be dealt with easily... Now that no one is around, don't let him get into trouble."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ning immediately pulled out the golden hairpin from her head.
It was the largest and most valuable piece of jewelry that Mu Yao prepared for her.
Putting the golden hairpin into Mu Yao's pale hand, Shen Ning pursed her lips and whispered, "Bring more...in case there's not enough."
After she finished speaking, she realized that her tears had fallen onto Mu Yao's hand. When she hurriedly tried to wipe them away, the boat had already been pushed away by the waves.
A few people watched quietly as the small boat was slowly pulled into the depths of the sea by the waves. The sea breeze was slightly salty, and there was a cold and quiet atmosphere...
After the Fu Ship had been sailing for more than two hours, Shen Ning asked Nu Jiaolong to dock the boat. Nu Jiaolong was shocked: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we leave as soon as possible now? If we are a step slower, what will happen if we are surrounded?"
Shen Ning shook her head: "The speed at which they pass messages is much faster than the ship. The sea ahead should be impassable."
Nu Jiaolong frowned: "What should we do then?"
Shen Ning raised the corner of her mouth: "We have already left the city. Now as long as we don't bump into it, it won't be too difficult if we just want to hide. Don't worry, I will find a way."
After that, she asked Nu Jiaolong: "Do you have paper and pen?"
Nu Jiaolong nodded quickly: "Yes."
Taking the paper and pen that Nu Jiaolong brought out, Shen Ning began to write a letter.
He stuffed the written pages into blank envelopes and said, "After we dock, find someone to deliver these letters, especially this one, to the Xu residence of Lord Xu. You don't have to wait for a reply, just deliver it."
Just find someone to deliver a letter without exposing your whereabouts.
Nu Jiaolong took the letter and nodded: "Yes."
Shen Ning said softly, “Thank you.”
Nu Jiaolong quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, please don't be so polite. The leader...he once told us that if he were gone, we should obey your orders in everything. He said that only by following your orders could we survive..."
Thinking of Mu Yao, Shen Ning fell silent again.
At the same time, in the capital, the imperial palace, and Weiyang Palace, Xiao Nanrong sat at a table in the inner hall, while Xu Zhiyi stood opposite him. "The sea within two hundred miles of the capital is completely sealed, and all roads on land are also blocked. There is no trace of anyone."
Glancing at Xiao Nanyong's expression, Xu Zhiyi smiled and said, "It was doomed the moment she left the palace. Your Highness cannot catch her again. If Your Highness insists on blocking her, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."
Xiao Nanrong's face was expressionless: "Criticism is criticism, this prince does not care."
Originally, he could only watch from afar, but he was just a little bit short... just a little bit short of getting Chen Ning, but someone was so ignorant as to interfere.
Mu Yao is an ignorant person, he deserves to die!
At this moment, Xiao Nanyong's chest and abdomen suddenly stagnated, and before he could react, he vomited a mouthful of blood... Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen.
Xiao Nanyong groaned and was speechless, leaning over the table with cold sweat pouring out.
Xu Zhiyi was shocked: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
He reacted quickly and shouted outside, "Call the imperial physician."
After a while, Xiao Nanyong was lying on the couch, his face as pale as gold paper.
The director of the Imperial Hospital frowned slightly. "It is indeed poison... but this poison is strange, I have never heard of it before. I am afraid it will take some time."
At this moment, the secretary rushed in: "Your Highness, someone from Lord Xu's side came over and said someone delivered a letter for Your Highness."
Xu Zhiyi frowned: "What letter? Bring it in."
His father had just learned that the Second Prince was poisoned, and sending someone to deliver a letter at this time must be no small matter.
Shishu brought the letter in. Xiao Nanyong, who had just recovered his breath, reached out to take it. He had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. After he opened the letter and saw the contents, his expression suddenly turned cold, and then he sneered in anger.
“Chen Ning!”
He said these two words with a hint of gnashing of teeth.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at the Second Prince's complex expression of love and hate, and asked curiously, "What is it, Your Highness?"
Xiao Nanrong threw the paper over, and Xu Zhiyi reached out to take it. After reading it, he raised his eyebrows and laughed: "So it was Shen Ning who poisoned me..."
This was the letter that Shen Ning had someone send to the Xu family. The letter said that the second prince, Xiao Nanyong, was poisoned and the poison was about to take effect. Xiao Nanyong was asked to release Yuan Yue and the others and not to cheat.
Shen Ning also said that she left a prescription with Ye Heng and told him that someone would come to get it later. No matter who came, she would be given twelve prescriptions, one every ten days, because this prescription was an antidote and also another kind of poison. Only when all twelve prescriptions were used up could the poison be completely detoxified.
So, it will take Xiao Nanyong four months to completely detoxify!
During these four months, if Xiao Nanyong chased, surrounded, or poisoned Yuan Yue and the others... he would have no chance of getting the antidote later.
Step by step, without any mistakes.
Xu Zhiyi tutted his words, "I've told Your Highness before that Chen Ning is kind-hearted, but not without cunning. She won't take the initiative to harm others, but she's not the type to be obedient and allow others to scheme against her... Your Highness is obsessed with sex."
Xiao Nanrong was already filled with frustration and coldness because Shen Ning had poisoned him. Upon hearing this, he looked up at Xu Zhiyi and asked, "Are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"
He pulled the corner of his mouth: "You like Chen Ning but have to stay away from her, but I don't have to. Master Xu San is very jealous, right?"
Xu Zhiyi's expression froze slightly, but then he curled his lips again, "Your Highness, you're joking. Even if I'm jealous, I should be jealous of Prince Ding, right? Your Highness was the one she poisoned and threatened. How could I be so jealous of Your Highness without knowing right from wrong?"
Xiao Nanrong's expression instantly became even uglier...
