"If your highness wants to say something, just say it!”Mu Qingyi said lightly, not putting the sudden pressure in her eyes. Since she was confident, she was not afraid.
When Nangong Ye heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, but it did not reach the depths of his eyes.
"If this king said that you have to stay here today, what would you do?”Nangong Ye said in a deep voice. This was the first time he addressed himself as " I " in front of Mu Qingyi.
"You can't keep me." Mu Qingyi said calmly. She was completely unaffected by Nangong Ye's pressure, as if she was not threatened at all.
Hearing this, Nangong Mo's body stopped and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He then looked at Mu Qingyi and said,""What do you mean?"
Although he admired Mu Qingyi's courage, he had never been challenged like this. Other than his father, no one dared to speak to him like this.
"Since your highness is willing to use Xue Chan to exchange for this person's safety, this person's importance to your highness is self-evident, right?”Mu Qingyi smiled.
Nangong Ye's eyes flashed with sharpness when he heard that.""Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
" I'm afraid it'll be easy for His Highness to kill me, but he…" Mu Qingyi pointed at the patient on the bed and said,""If Your Highness kills me, I'm afraid that no one in this world can cure him.”
When Nangong Ye heard this, he couldn't help but tremble. His heart was in a mess, but it only lasted for a moment. Nangong Ye calmed down and said,""You just said that the poison is fine. Since that's the case, the poison in his body shouldn't be enough to kill him.”
Mu Qingyi only smiled at Nangong Ye when she heard that. She did not explain or panic.
Nangong Ye looked at Mu Qingyi and suddenly thought of another possibility. His face turned ugly and he said angrily,""You poisoned him?"
Seeing that Nangong Ye had figured it out, Mu Qingyi did not hide anything and said,""A wise man should learn to save his life. If I hadn't poisoned him, I would probably be a corpse now, right?”
Nangong Ye didn't say anything, but the anger in his eyes showed his feelings.
However, Mu Qingyi was wrong about one thing. If an ordinary person knew his secret, he would not hesitate to kill him. However, he would not kill Mu Qingyi.
When he met Mu Qingyi on the stairs of the Xianyue Teahouse that day, he remembered her in his heart. When he met her again in the palace, he had a deeper impression of her.
He had originally thought that she was a cold and indifferent woman, but after interacting with her twice, he realized that she was extremely intelligent and full of spirit.
It was also because of these two interactions that he felt a little reluctant to part with Mu Qingyi. This reluctance also decided that he would not kill her. Even so, Mu Qingyi's actions still made him angry. He had never been so angry before.
"Lin Ze." After a long time, Nangong Ye said to Lin Ze,""Send Miss Mu out."
Lin Ze put away the surprise in his eyes and came forward, but Mu Qingyi looked at Nangong Ye and frowned.""Your highness has not paid me for the consultation.”
Her goal for this trip was the Snow Toad. How could she leave without the Snow Toad? At this moment, Mu Qingyi was actually very worried that Nangong Ye would go back on his word.
However, just as Mu Qingyi was thinking about this, a box flew towards her. Mu Qingyi subconsciously reached out to catch it. When she saw it clearly, she realized that it was an extremely exquisite wooden box carved from boxwood.
Mu Qingyi opened the box with slight doubt and anticipation. After seeing that it was the Snow Toad that she wanted, she heaved a sigh of relief. She then closed the box and said to Nangong Ye,""Don't worry, I'll find time to send the antidote.”
Mu Qingyi turned around and left the room without looking at Nangong Ye.
Nangong Ye looked at Mu Qingyi's back. There was a complicated look in his eyes besides anger. His hands were clenched into fists as if he was enduring it.
When Lin Ze sent Mu Qingyi to the door, Mu Qingyi turned to Lin Ze and said,""I didn't go anywhere today. I went to Jiren Hall.”
Before Lin Ze could react, Mu Qingyi left with Xue Chan.
Lin Ze was stunned for a long time before he finally understood what Mu Qingyi was talking about. He could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief and turned around to enter the house.
When they returned to King Yu's Mansion, Nangong Mo was still unconscious. Mu Qingyi checked his pulse and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Nangong Mo's condition was stable.
Looking at Nangong Mo's sleeping face, Mu Qingyi could not help but recall the first time she met Nangong Mo. At that time, she had wanted to die, but because of Nangong Mo's words, she had survived.
In fact, for so many years, that back view had never left her heart. When she saw him again, she was angry when she saw people humiliate him in all sorts of ways. At the same time, she felt heartache and sadness in her heart.
After spending ten days together, although he was silly, his kindness to her was extremely precious to her. Other than him, no one else would treat her so sincerely and disregard their lives.
Because of this, she didn't stop his feelings for her. Instead, she allowed him to grow along with the feelings from ten years ago.
But now, she had already gotten her hands on the Snow Toad, and the poison in his body was about to be cured. However, when he returned to normal, would he still treat her like this?
Mu Qingyi squeezed the box in her hand and felt a fear that she had never felt before.
When Nangong Ling came in, she saw Mu Qingyi sitting by Nangong Mo's bed and staring at him in a daze. Mu Qingyi's eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
Nangong Ling could not help but feel shocked at this sight. At the same time, he was also somewhat delighted.
"Miss Mu!" Nangong Ling called out. There was an unconcealed smile in his eyes.
Hearing Nangong Ling's voice, Mu Qingyi could not help but panic. However, she quickly calmed down and turned to Nangong Ling,""It's good that you're here. I have something to tell you.”
"Miss Mu, is there something you need me for?" Nangong Ling could not help but look at Mu Qingyi in surprise.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi only nodded gently. She then walked to Nangong Ling's side and handed him the box in her hand,""Open it and take a look."
Hearing this, Nangong Ling opened the box made of boxwood with doubt. When he saw what was inside, his face was filled with surprise, doubt, and uncertainty. Then, he turned to look at Mu Qingyi with doubt in his eyes.
"You're right, this is the Snow Toad.”Mu Qingyi said.
Nangong Ling's heart was originally in a mess. When he heard that the thing in his hand was the Snow Toad, his eyes were filled with excitement. He thought that his fifth brother was really saved this time.
However, when Nangong Ling calmed down, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He had sent people to investigate Xuan Prince's residence several times, but they had returned empty-handed. They couldn't even enter. There was only one Snow Toad in Xuan Prince's residence in the capital, so this one must belong to Xuan Prince's residence.
However, how did Mu Qingyi get her hands on the Snow Toad?
Thinking of this, Nangong Ling couldn't help but look at Mu Qingyi in confusion. He asked directly,""Where did this Snow Toad come from?"
