Hongzhu looked at Su Ningxin tremblingly, not knowing what she had done wrong, so she could only kneel down honestly.
The prince in the room was also shocked by Su Ningxin's sudden attack. He didn't know why Su Ningxin, who had always been kind, suddenly became angry.
"Father, have you been frightened?" Su Ningxin looked at Prince An rather embarrassedly and explained, "I was also a little angry when I saw that the mother-in-law was unconscious and the maid was not doing her best."
The kneeling Hongzhu immediately kowtowed, "The Imperial Concubine clearly knows that this servant is never lazy."
"If you are not lazy, why can't you take the medicine well?" Su Ningxin looked at Concubine Li who was standing aside, "What do you think, Concubine Concubine?"
Concubine Li had a flaw in her intuition, so she thought about it and replied, "Hongzhu is a bit stupid, but she is also dedicated to the princess."
"What's the use of you being so stupid? Go down." Su Ningxin said to Hongzhu, and then looked at Concubine Li, "Concubine Li cares so much about the princess and is very smart. I think she will definitely be willing to make medicine for the princess."
The kneeling Hongzhu looked at the Crown Princess, then turned to look at Concubine Li. She felt that she seemed to understand something, so she apologized and then withdrew.
Concubine Li was left at a loss and could only look to Prince An for help. Unfortunately, Prince An had no intention of rescuing her. In the end, she had no choice but to boil the medicine reluctantly.
Su Ningxin sat next to the princess, wiped her palms with a handkerchief, and fed her some water. Prince An probably felt that it was not good to spend time with his daughter-in-law, so he found an excuse and went out.
Su Ningxin took a moment to glance at Concubine Li, not knowing how to evaluate her.
Originally she was just in a bad mood and wanted to find a punching bag, but Concubine Li was obviously the most suitable person in the room, so she chose her.
There was nothing she could do. When Su Ningxin was a concubine in the palace, the first rule of survival for a domineering concubine was that she would never make others feel good when she was in a bad mood. Now she is worried about those three girls. I was worried, and there was no reason to let this concubine whom I didn't like have an easy time.
Just looking at Concubine Li's current appearance, Su Ningxin felt a little pitiful for her. It was obvious that Prince An treated her like a pet, teasing her when she was happy and not taking it seriously when she was unhappy. But he still wants to please the other person.
Compared with the princess who could see clearly, and because of her family background, Prince An did not dare to offend easily, Concubine Li was more like a joke.
Just as she was thinking about it, Su Ningxin was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said to Concubine Li with a natural expression, "The medicine is almost ready. You can go down as well. I will give the medicine to Concubine Li."
Concubine Li once again looked worried about the princess and exchanged pleasantries with Su Ning for a few words before leaving.
As soon as the door closed, the princess opened her eyes. After being helped by Su Ningxin to sit up, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to take medicine."
"Have you been awake for a long time?" Su Ningxin asked teasingly. She had been practicing martial arts for so long, and she could clearly feel the changes in the princess' aura.
The princess woke up but didn't want others to know. She thought the princess wanted to see Concubine Li being burnt by the smoke, so she didn't reveal it. She didn't expect the princess to stop pretending so quickly.
The princess glanced at Su Ningxin and admitted, and then asked, "What happened to her? Why is she in the inn?"
Su Ningxin told the truth about Concubine Li, including the fact that she happened to save Prince An.
The princess was not angry after hearing this. She just shook her head with emotion, "After so many years, she still can't figure it out."
Such a tone made Su Ningxin feel that there must be some story, but the princess didn't continue, so she stopped asking.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside the inn, and the princess looked outside suspiciously. Su Ningxin comforted her and told her not to get out of bed, and walked to the bed to look outside.
At first glance, Su Ningxin's hand holding the window tightened unconsciously, and she saw that the diners outside were chatting noisily, while Chu Jihan was arranging people to send Lian Sheng and Shuang Bai back to the room.
As if sensing something, Chu Jihan turned to look at Su Ningxin upstairs, gave her a comforting look, and then got busy with things over there.
Su Ningxin's eyesight was very good. Everyone's attention was on Lian Sheng who was covered in blood. But Su Ningxin saw the unconscious frosty white face with something wrong, as if he had been poisoned. Miao Jiang's poison has always been weird. , this had to make Su Ningxin wary.
Putting down the window, Su Ning's heart remained the same as usual. She turned to look at the princess, "Mother, it's Liansheng and Shuangbai who are back. They are both unconscious and look seriously injured. I'll go and keep them quiet."
"You can go ahead. I'm fine now and no one needs to keep an eye on me. I can just ask about the whereabouts of those two maids." The princess said understandingly.
"I asked Hongzhu to come in and accompany you." After Su Ningxin finished speaking, she went out, her steps unhurried and slow, as if she really wasn't in a hurry.
They met Chu Jihan and his group who were going upstairs. The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
Su Ningxin followed them and sent Shuangbai back to her room. She immediately took her wrist and checked her pulse. As Su Ningxin expected, she was indeed poisoned, and it was something she had never been exposed to before.
Chu Jihan followed Lian Sheng to his room. He also had people with medical skills who had already gone to bandage Lian Sheng's wounds.
When Su Ningxin went out, she happened to meet Chu Jihan who was also coming out of Liansheng's room, "How is Liansheng?"
"The injury was a bit serious. He lost too much blood and fell into a coma. He is already being bandaged. There should be no fear for his life." Chu Jihan explained briefly and concisely, and then asked, "Where is Shuangbai?"
Su Ning lowered her eyes and said, "It's not good. It seems to be poisoned. I don't have a clue."
The two of them didn't say anything else, but they could understand the meaning. During the fight with the Miao people two days ago, several people were not seriously poisoned. At that time, Su Ningxin was busy with the matter of the princess having fetal gas, and she had not yet Before he could even look at those people, they had already died from the poison.
Later, Su Ningxin also went to take a look, knowing that even if she arrived in time, she would still be helpless.
However, Shuangbai has been exposed to various poisons since he was a child and has been exposed to various poisons. He is still somewhat resistant to these poisons. In addition, Su Ningxin still has some detoxification pills left by Gu Mingxi, which should keep Shuangbai in a stalemate for a while. .
After saying that, Su Ningxin went straight to her room, found some bottles and jars from her baggage, picked out the detoxification pills, and went to give Shuangbai a dose.
Chu Jihan had been following her, knowing that she was in a bad mood and didn't say anything to annoy her.
However, Su Ningxin looked surprised when he saw the bottles in his bag. He had never known that his wife had brought so many medicines, nor did he know what they were.
