The Aloof Prince Pampers His Wild First Rate Consort

Chapter 299: It's All Because of You

Mu Yunjin felt that she was also cheap, although she was very angry in her heart, but thinking that he could not see the road clearly at night with a blindfold, she deliberately slowed down her pace.

She knew that Chu Li would definitely not take out a jade pendant to illuminate the road on this kind of street.

Chu Li did follow behind Mu Yunjin. Seeing her leave just now, he also walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, but after walking for a long time, he left the center of the street. The surrounding roads were dim, and he could hardly see the way ahead.

Just as she was about to take out the jade pendant to illuminate the road, a familiar sound of footsteps came from ahead.

The footsteps were not in a hurry, keeping a distance from him, but not too far away from him.

Hearing the footsteps, Chu Li felt inexplicably relieved. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the woman Mu Yunjin seemed to be pretty good...

Along the way, the two walked in tandem, until the lanterns hanging at the gate of the city lord's mansion illuminated the surrounding night roads, and then Mu Yunjin ran into the city lord's mansion as if oiling the soles of her feet.

Chu Li shone through, and after seeing her figure running away quickly, he also walked in quickly.

...

The room arrangement of the two was facing each other, and when Mu Yunjin returned to the door, Chu Li had already followed.

Mu Yunjin didn't even look at Chu Li, and stretched out her hand to push open the door. Just as she stepped in, a voice came from behind, "Wait."

Mu Yunjin paused, turned around, looked at Chu Li who had walked to her side at some point, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"You..." As soon as Chu Li uttered a word, he felt a little uncomfortable, and the embarrassment that appeared during the day surged up again.

Seeing that he was halfway through, Mu Yunjin frowned and cast a puzzled look.

Chu Li was stared at by her clear eyes, his mind flickered, and he popped out without thinking, "Does your hand hurt?"

After speaking, even he himself was taken aback.

Mu Yunjin was also stunned for a moment, thinking that she was hallucinating for a moment.

After waiting for a while, he nodded towards Chu Li, snorted coldly, and pouted, "Of course it hurts!"

"Let me take a look." Chu Li said in a strange manner, only now did he realize that when facing Mu Yunjin, he would always lose control of his emotions.

Seeing that Chu Li had suddenly changed his temper, Mu Yunjin's anger dissipated in an instant, she stretched out her hand, and held it in front of Chu Li.

Chu Li lowered his eyes, staring at Mu Yunjin's small and fair hands, there was a spot of red on them, he couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to hold them.

The moment he held Mu Yunjin's hand, Chu Li suddenly had a very familiar feeling, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember any pictures.

Mu Yunjin's palm was wrapped in a mass of warmth, before she could feel other emotions, she stretched out her hand to break free.

She was afraid that Chu Li would have another convulsion at this time, and then wait and throw her away again.

She can bear it once or twice, but if she does it three or four times, she may not be able to bear it herself.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early." Mu Yunjin twitched the corners of her mouth, looked sharply, and then she entered the room and closed the door.

Chu Li stood outside her room door, looked at his hands, and lightly clenched his fingers.

...

The next morning.

The first thing Mu Yunjin did after waking up was to look for Huaying.

Huaying had already woken up at this moment, and had already begun to develop the antidote. As soon as Mu Yunjin entered the room, she looked around and found that Huaying was alone, and approached her.

"Master, you woke up so early." Huaying looked at Mu Yunjin and raised the corners of her lips.

Mu Yunjin nodded and leaned closer to her, "Ask you something."

"Huh?" Huaying looked at Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin lowered her voice, and asked Huaying, "Do you know the star grass?"

"Well, among City Lord Xu's antidote this time, one of the poisons is particularly powerful, so we need to use the Sky Star Grass, but this Sky Star Grass is very rare, so it's not easy to search for it." Huaying sighed slightly.

"Are you free now? Go somewhere with me." Mu Yunjin saw that it was still early, and the rest of the people should still be sleeping.

Huaying nodded, and then went out with Mu Yunjin.

When the two came to the inn, Mu Yunjin walked to the door of Rong Jiu's room, reached out and knocked gently on the door.

Before there was a sound from inside, the door of another room on the side was already opened, Hong Ling walked out from inside, and after seeing Mu Yunjin and Hua Ying, she showed a smile.

"Princess Ning, you're here so early."

"Yes, this is the friend I mentioned yesterday, Huaying." Mu Yunjin introduced Huaying to Hongling.

Hearing this, Hongling nodded to Huaying, and said hello, "Hello, Miss Huaying."

"Hello." Hua Ying also nodded.

"Have you had breakfast?" Hong Ling asked, she had just woken up at this point.

Mu Yunjin and Huaying shook their heads.

"Then let's eat first, if you are hungry, it will be a great sin." Hong Ling said, she had already walked to the middle, and she took the arms of the two of them and walked downstairs.

Because of her pregnancy, Mu Yunjin only ordered a porridge, the same as the previous two days. The Huaying and Hongling beside her didn't have much appetite, and they also ordered relatively light food.

After the three of them finished their breakfast, Hong Ling asked Xiaoer to prepare another breakfast alone, and then went upstairs.

At the door of Rong Jiu's room, Hong Ling gently knocked on the door, "Your Highness, Princess Ning is here."

"Come in." A hoarse voice came from inside.

Hong Ling pushed open the door, looked at Mu Yunjin first, and motioned for her and Hua Ying to go in first.

Mu Yunjin walked in, and saw that Rong Jiu was sitting on a wicker chair just like last night, with a haggard face.

"Your Highness, let's have breakfast first." Hong Ling brought the breakfast in front of Rong Jiu, and found that he looked a little more haggard than yesterday, and frowned.

Rong Jiu shook his head, "Wait."

"Alright then." After all, Hong Ling didn't dare to confront Rong Jiu, so she had to put the breakfast aside.

On the other side, Hua Ying approached Rong Jiu, got a glimpse of Rong Jiu's face, squatted down, "Hold out your hand, I'll take a pulse."

Rong Jiu raised his eyelids, and slowly stretched out his hand, "Thank you, I'm sorry."

Hua Ying smiled slightly, and put her hand on Rong Jiu's wrist.

After a while, Hua Ying got up, walked to the table, took an empty teacup, and pulled out a silver needle from her waist, "I need to get some of your blood."

"Okay." Rong Jiu nodded.

Huaying pricked a hole in Rong Jiu's finger, and put the blood dripping from him into the empty cup.

After taking a little bit of Rong Jiu's blood, Hua Ying started to smell the blood, then lowered her head and sniffed gently, her eyes flashed with dullness and surprise.

"Do you have any clues?" Mu Yunjin and Hong Ling's eyes have been on Huaying since Huaying began to take Rong Jiu's pulse.

Hua Ying nodded, and put the cup aside, "Wan Gu Du."

"People who are poisoned, after a long time, the blood in the body will be drained completely, leaving only flesh and bones." After Hua Ying finished speaking, she looked at Mu Yunjin, "Among the hundred poisons of City Master Xu, this poison is one."

"The antidote to this poison is now available in our place except for the Skystar Grass."

Hongling is also good at medical skills. After hearing Huaying's diagnosis and treatment, she nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's Wangudu. Among the antidote ingredients, only Tianxingcao is the most troublesome."

After a pause, Hong Ling asked again, "Why, the owner of Heyue City was also poisoned?"

"You said yesterday that the last Stargrass was found in Heyue City?" Mu Yunjin asked.

Hearing this, Hong Ling was taken aback.

One thing came to mind in an instant, this Tianxing herb is extremely rare, it is very difficult to find one, but now there are two people who need Tianxing grass.

That……

Mu Yunjin caught a glimpse of Hong Ling's expression, so she naturally knew what she was worried about, and stepped forward to comfort her, "Let's find the whereabouts of the Star Grass first."

"Yeah." Hong Ling nodded.

"This is for you, if the poison occurs, it can be suppressed and relieved." Huaying handed Hong Ling a bottle of medicine, which was also given to Xu Heyu when she used it to alleviate the poison.

Hong Ling took it and thanked Rong Jiu for her.

...

After leaving the inn, Mu Yunjin and Huaying were walking back to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master, I have a question." Hua Ying looked at Mu Yunjin.

"You want to ask, if there is only one Star Grass, who would I choose to save?" Mu Yunjin raised the corners of her lips, and looked at Hua Ying with her eyes sideways.

Huaying nodded.

"I don't know, this question is really difficult for me." Mu Yunjin and Xu Heyu didn't have a deep relationship, as did Rong Jiu, but these two people who didn't have a deep relationship were friends she knew from the bottom of her heart.

Suddenly, for the first time, there was a feeling that the palms and backs of the hands were all flesh.

"Princess Ning..." Hong Ling's voice suddenly came from behind.

Mu Yunjin stopped, turned her eyes to look, and saw Hong Ling running after her.

After approaching Mu Yunjin, Hong Ling looked at Huaying apologetically, "Miss Huaying, there is something I want to say to Princess Ning alone..."

Huaying looked at Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin nodded, "Go back first, I'll come back later."

"Okay." Hua Ying hummed, then walked away.

After Hua Ying left, Hong Ling looked around and whispered, "Princess Ning, take a step to speak."

...

Following Hong Ling to a remote alley, Mu Yunjin looked at Hong Ling puzzled, feeling that she and herself were about to tell something important.

"Actually, there are some things that I wanted to hide, and His Highness told me to shut up, but I didn't expect things to change suddenly."

"Princess Ning, if you find the Sky Star Grass, can you bring it to His Highness the Crown Prince first?"

Mu Yunjin frowned, "Why?"

When Hong Ling mentioned it, her expression was in a daze for a moment, her eyes were full of sadness, "Actually, His Highness was poisoned, and Zhang Bai's death was all because of you."

"Me?" Mu Yunjin pointed to herself, and was surprised, she hadn't seen Rong Jiu recently.

"Maybe I'm a bit selfish when I say this, but for the sake of our Highness, I have to be so selfish once and tell you everything that happened a month ago!"

Mu Yunjin's eyelids twitched, "What happened a month ago?"

"A month ago, when you were in Beiming Country, you were trapped in the ice cave, right?"

"At that time, the second prince's messenger came to His Highness and told him that you were trapped in the ice cave and your life was in danger. If he didn't go to rescue you, you would definitely die in the ice cave."

"Hearing the news, His Highness left Donglin Kingdom overnight despite all of us' dissuasion, and encountered the Second Prince's ambush on the way..."
