blind person could see it. The cut is far too clear."After she finished speaking, An Xue Tang pursed her lips and then shook her head with a sigh. "Though it's cruel, I still want to tell you the trut...Hearing Ning'er's words, Shou'er and Kang'er exchanged glances.

A barely audible sigh escaped them. They didn't understand feelings, yet seeing Ninger in such pain made their hearts ache too.

Ning'er came back to her senses, she looked up at the two of them and smiled, "I'm fine, you should go back and rest."

Shouer and Kang'er said in unison, "We'll accompany you."

After that, the two suddenly took off their shoes and jumped onto Ning'er's bed.

"Kang'er chuckled, "It's been ages since we slept in the same bed. I'm staying put tonight."

Ninger shook her head slightly, a rare smile playing on her lips, and followed them.

Three people were lying in bed. Kang'er couldn't sleep and suddenly thought of Fu'er, "I wish Fu'er was here right now."

Shou'er hummed in agreement, "But why would Fu'er want to return to the valley"

This question went unanswered because they didn't know the reason.

Only when mentioning Fu'er did Ning'er's eyes darken. Something must have happened between Fu'er and the Valley Master, and that figure she saw a few days ago... was it really Fu'er

It seems she needs to find a way to send a letter to the Valley Master's people, to see if Fu Er is still in Xumintang Valley. If not... this would be a big problem!

An Xuetang has been busy concocting her herbs these days. She's worried that Mo Junyi might get injured alone in Beijang, so she made a lot of wound healing medicine.

The most important thing is penicillin, which can save your life in a critical moment.

Penicillin is just too difficult to make. The last little bit she managed to extract took her several days of work.

This time, because of Ning'er's injury, she was determined to stock up on more penicillin.

Here, equipment is lacking and there's little that can save your life in a crisis. Penicillin is the most crucial thing she could think of.

Just such things are also difficult to extract.

Over the past few days, she has made a small amount, just enough for one person to use.

Ning'er's wounds were almost healed under her treatment, but she still felt that something major was going to happen soon.

My heart was a little unsettled, especially these past few days. Feng Ming always went out, claiming each time that he was meeting with Han Yun. But Han Yun is the head of the esteemed Qingyun Pavilion; how could he possibly have so much free time to accompany him every day

Therefore, Fengming must have something she's hiding. Whenever I ask her about it, she always has some excuse.

After a while, Shou'er returned, "Your Highness, we have results."

An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow. She always felt that Liu Lan was a bit strange. Since entering the capital, her personality had changed. Back in Ling Shui Village, Liu Lan was meek and didn't have much scheming. An Xue Tang didn't believe that she could become so clever in such a short time.

So after she had a few days free, she asked Shou'er to find out about Liu Lan.

An Xuetang put down the medicinal herbs in her hand, "Is there anything unusual"

Shour nodded, "Your Highness, Liu Lan disappeared for two days shortly after arriving in the capital."

“...”

An Xuetang frowned, there's actually such a thing

Before, when she had it investigated, she hadn't mentioned this.

Shour continued, "After Liu entered the capital, that Liu Yǎn'er was jealous of her beauty. On the very first day she entered the house, she wanted to secretly poison her, but it was discovered by Wang and Cui. If not for them, the poison would have been administered."

Later, the official An would sneak into Liu's chamber, but was discovered by Liu Yan'er. Liu Yan'er then deliberately provoked a fight, having her maidservant beat Liu and send her spoiled food.

Such days didn't last long, Liu disappeared for two days, Anfu no one cared about her, so they didn't look for her. Two days later, she returned to Anfu, and her personality had changed. She not only scolded the maidservant who took care of her but could even get Anshi Lang to support her.

"After Liu Yan'er discovered this, she actually wanted to get rid of her. However, for some reason, after Liu Yan'er had a conversation with her, she hardly bothered her again."

After that, you should have known what happened. Liu was thrown into prison and then encountered the Emperor, entering the palace. Nothing suspicious was found during this time.

After hearing Shou'er's investigation results, An Xue Tang's brows furrowed slightly. That meant something must have happened to Liu Shi in the past two days that caused her personality to change drastically.

Moreover, she had just arrived in Beijing and was unfamiliar with the city. It's certain that she didn't go out on her own during these two days she disappeared.

What happened during those two missing days What could make someone so scheming

It seems that Liu has someone backing them up.

Just who could this person be

After thinking about it, An Xuetang still didn't figure it out. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'll ask Liu thoroughly when she comes next time. If there really is a master behind her, the poison on her body should have been cured by now."

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other. Shou'er said, "Your Highness, in a few days, the Liu family will come to ask for the antidote. Should we take this opportunity to arrest her and interrogate her"

"Let's see what she has in store for me then, what 'good news' she'll bring this time."

"Understood."

In this way, such a seemingly stable life passed another half month. Ning'er's injury had completely healed, and she began to follow An Xue Tang's side inseparably once again.

She is even colder than before. Almost the only one who can make her laugh now is An Xuetang. To everyone else, no matter what they do, she always remains expressionless.

And since that night when Yunliu was caught red-handed by Fengming, in order not to make her embarrassed, he also didn't pester her as much as before.

The two people would almost meet every day, sometimes glancing at each other and quickly looking away. Besides work-related matters, they had never spoken about personal topics.

That morning, after Ning'er got up, she received a secret letter from someone in Xumtang Valley.

After reading the contents of the letter, Ning'er furrowed her brow, a hint of worry in her eyes.

The man in the letter said that Fu'er was truly not in the valley, which meant that the figure she had seen outside the palace earlier was really her.

None of them had ever disobeyed the Valley's orders. Since the Valley sent Fu’er back, there must have been a reason. But why was Fu’er sneaking back to Beijing now

Ninger tightened her hand around the letter, stood there for a moment, then turned back to her room and threw it into the incense burner, burning it to ash.

She would definitely tell the valley master about this, but given the valley master's personality, the valley master wouldn't let her off easy if Fu'er lied like this. So before telling the valley master, for the sake of their sisterhood, she had to find Fu'er first and get clarification.

On the other side, Ning'er receiving the letter was naturally not hidden from Mo Yunjing. Everything that happened in the prince's mansion was under Mo Yunjing's control.

So everything about Ning'er secretly sending and receiving letters was within the grasp of the Prince’s informants.

Eleven informed Mo Yunjing of the matter, and Mo Yunjing remained silent for a moment, "Staring at her."

Eleven pursed her lips, "Yes."

After a moment's hesitation, Eleven said again, "Your Highness, should... we involve Sixth Brother in this matter", and Feng Ming reacted. Perhaps there was a connection, as Fu'er had said.So she stayed to ensure the safe birth of her child.Ning'er has already checked Fu'er's condition, her umbilical cord is prol...
