"Jiu Wei, sit down for a while, your body is not healed yet." Gu Qingchen said softly.

Looking at Gu Qingchen's actions, Mu Chenfeng frowned, and suddenly he could understand why Qingchen didn't like the fifth princess. Ning Jiuwei had a nobility that was not inferior to that of the royal princess, and also had the heroic spirit of a child of the world. , anyone would like such a woman.

Ning Jiuwei didn't notice Mu Chenfeng's eyes, but stared intently at Mu Yunxiao on the bed, while Qi Lexuan was giving Mu Yunxiao acupuncture.

Twelve golden needles pricked the acupuncture points, and the blue color on Mu Yunxiao's face gradually faded while he was lying on the bed. Then, Qi Lexuan took out a golden needle and pricked Mu Yunxiao's index finger, and black blood dripped down the fingertip. Falling.

"I'm going to make mung bean soup. Forget it, I'll go by myself." Qi Lexuan stood up, turned around and left the room.

Ning Jiuwei looked at Mu Yunxiao's face and breathed a sigh of relief. Then her eyes fell on the bowl of mung bean soup, and she held it to the tip of her nose and smelled it.

"Mung beans are used to relieve heat and detoxify. Normal people will be fine if they drink them. Are any of you interested in taking a sip?" Ning Jiuwei picked up the bowl, looked around and asked.

Gu Qingchen asked: "Jiu Wei, is this bowl of mung bean soup poisonous?"

"Is it poisonous or not? Just find someone to try it. Who brought this bowl of soup over just now?" Ning Jiuwei put down the bowl and asked in a cold voice. There was a majestic attitude in every gesture, not weak at all. To the Queen Mother.

Mu Chenfeng looked at Taohong. Seeing this, Taohong walked out bravely and said, "The slave brought it in, but the slave really didn't poison it."

Ning Jiuwei didn't say anything when she heard Taohong's words. She stared at Taohong with a pair of phoenix eyes, breathtaking, as if she wanted to see through her.

"Miss Ning, Taohong is Auntie's personal maid. Could it be that she could harm Yunxiao? Even if there is something really wrong, we should wait until Auntie wakes up before interrogating her. Even my eldest brother and I have no right to intervene." Mu Xiaoxiao's voice It's soft, but it sounds prickly.

When Mu Chenfeng heard Mu Xiaoxiao's words, he frowned and said, "Xiaoxiao, this matter is related to Yun Xiao's life. Even my mother will definitely investigate it thoroughly. You first listen to what Miss Ning has to say."

"...Listen to big brother." Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. If she said anything else, it might make people suspicious, so she said nothing more.

Ning Jiuwei looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with some doubts in her heart. In her previous life, when Mu Xiaoxiao was the princess, she had always been calm and generous. She stayed out of many things. How could she stand out for a maid today? It really didn't suit her. character.

However, Ning Jiuwei did not think about Mu Xiaoxiao, because Mu Yunxiao had always been close to Mu Xiaoxiao, and there was no conflict of interest between the two, so it was really unjustifiable to say that Mu Xiaoxiao harmed Mu Yunxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at Ning Jiuwei's eyes. She didn't know why. Maybe she had a guilty conscience, or maybe Ning Jiuwei's eyes were too sharp. She felt inexplicably cold.

"Miss Mu, I think you may not know me well. The reason why I want to find out about this matter today is not because of Mu Yunxiao's life. Whether he dies or not has nothing to do with me."

"It's the poisoning that caused Le Xuan and I to suffer unjust injustice. I have always been determined to retaliate, so whether you agree or not, today I must find out the person behind this." Ning After Jiuwei finished speaking, his eyes turned to Taohong again.

Taohong shook her head and said, "It's really not me."

After saying that, he turned around and knelt in front of Mu Chenfeng, and said in panic: "Young Master, how could this servant harm the Second Young Master? You must trust this slave."

"Then let me ask you, apart from you, who else has touched this bowl of mung bean soup? Call them all." Ning Jiuwei tapped the table with her index finger and said.

Hearing these words, Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she quickly lowered her head. She suddenly woke up in her heart. If she continued to search like this, she would definitely find Green Jade.

"In addition to the slaves, there are also Aunt Yue, Jin Yu and Huan Sha in the kitchen. By the way, Lin Yun just sent these mung beans into the kitchen today." Taohong said.

After hearing Taohong's words, Mu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yu felt relieved, but they seemed to be happy a little too early.

Ning Jiu nodded slightly, lowered his eyes and said: "Apart from these people, there are other people you have forgotten. I remind you that if you can't find these people, then you are the most suspect, because you are completely You can poison when no one is around."

"Servant... By the way, there is also Green Jade. I met her on the way. I entered the room with her. She can prove that I didn't poison her," Taohong said.

Hearing Taohong's words, Lu Yu hurriedly said: "I went to get the handkerchief for the lady. I met Taohong on the way, but I don't know if Taohong had been poisoned before meeting me."

"No rush." Ning Jiu smiled. She glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao aside, and then looked at Lu Yu who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes thoughtful.

At this time, Qi Lexuan had already cooked the mung bean soup. When she walked in, she went directly to the bedside and poured the mung bean soup for Mu Yunxiao. She drank two bowls of the mung bean soup before she stopped.

Mu Chenfeng walked over and looked at Mu Yunxiao on the bed. Although there was no improvement, he was not vomiting blood like before, which made him feel at ease.

But Mu Xiaoxiao's eyelids twitched and she didn't move. It was certain that Mu Yunxiao was fine now. Not to mention the failure of her plan this time, she would be in trouble. The most important thing now was not to let Mrs. Gu doubt her.

"Le Xuan, I remember that centella asiatica has a special smell, which attracts snakes, insects, rats, and ants, right?" Ning Jiuwei looked at the green jade and asked aloud.

Qi Lexuan nodded and said, "Yes, there are usually a lot of spotted snakes in places where centella asiatica grows, but Jiuwei, why are you asking this?"

"Of course we are investigating the mastermind behind this. Can you bear it after you have suffered such great injustice?" Ning Jiuwei said.

"You're right. I saw a lot of snake sellers in Moliu Lane before. I'm going to buy one." Qi Lexuan's eyes lit up.

Mu Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll let Su Mian go."

Ning Jiuwei nodded, and inadvertently glanced at Lu Yu standing beside her. Her hands were trembling slightly, and the flash of panic in her eyes, although very subtle, was captured by Ning Jiuwei. Her lips The arc of the angle becomes larger and larger.

After resurrecting her life, although Ning Jiuwei could not be said to be kind to others, she gradually let go of her desire to kill. However, there are always people who think that life is too long, so don't blame her. No matter who it is this time, she will make that person pay the price.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Yu, and then at the unconscious Mrs. Gu. Now the only one who could save Lu Yu was Mrs. Gu. As long as she was awake, everything would be easy.
