Mu Qingyi took out the Snow Toad and knew that Nangong Ling would be suspicious. Therefore, she did not mind the slight questioning in Nangong Ling's tone. She only said,"
"You don't need to worry about how the Snow Toad came to be, just get it.”
Nangong Ling saw that Mu Qingyi did not intend to say more, so he did not ask further. After all, it was very difficult for him to think of a reason for Mu Qingyi to harm Fifth Brother.
Nangong Ling handed the Snow Toad to Mu Qingyi and asked with anticipation,""Will the poison in Fifth Brother Xue Chan's body be cured?”
Mu Qingyi thought for a moment and said to Nangong Ling,""He was poisoned for too long and his brain was damaged. It's hard to guarantee when he'll recover. It'll take at least a few days and at most a few months.”
Nangong Ling was a little disappointed, but he was more delighted. Whether it was a few days, months, or even years, as long as he knew that his fifth brother had a chance of recovery, he was happy.
Nangong Ling looked at Mu Qingyi gratefully and said,""Fifth Brother will be counting on Miss Mu."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi turned around and looked at Nangong Mo, who was in a deep sleep. She smiled gently and said,""You don't have to thank me."
If it wasn't for Nangong Mo, he wouldn't be where he was today. This was just karma.
Nangong Ling did not know what Mu Qingyi was thinking. He thought that Mu Qingyi was just being polite, so he did not think too much about it.
In the next few days, Mu Qingyi stayed in the Cloud Dream Brothel and focused on refining pills. Every day, Mo Zhu would send her food.
On the third day, all the herbs around Mu Qingyi had disappeared. They were replaced by two small bottles of medicine bowls.
At this moment, Mo Zhu brought over the food. When she saw that Mu Qingyi had already put away the cauldron for refining the medicine and that there were no more medicinal herbs left beside her, her eyes could not help but light up.
"Has Miss Mu finished refining?" Mo Zhu, who had not taken the initiative to talk to Mu Qingyi for the past few days, could not help but ask.
Mu Qingyi nodded and picked up her chopsticks to eat the food on the table.
As Mo Zhu looked at Mu Qingyi, she could not help but feel a little hesitant. Finally, as if she could not help it, Mo Zhu walked around the table and stood opposite Mu Qingyi. She stared at Mu Qingyi and said,"Miss Mu, can His Highness really recover?"
Mo Zhu wanted to ask this. After all, this was not only her, but also Moying's concern. Whether Nangong Mo could return to normal was of great significance to them.
However, as soon as she said this, Mo Zhu recalled Mu Qingyi's answer back then, and she could not help but pause.
Seeing through Mo Zhu's thoughts, the corners of Mu Qingyi's lips curled up slightly. She stopped the chopsticks in her hand and looked up at Mo Zhu."Don't worry. Although I can't guarantee when, I can guarantee that he will definitely recover.”
Mo Zhu was both happy and slightly surprised by Mu Qingyi's answer because she did not expect Mu Qingyi to tell her the answer so readily this time.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi did not explain and just lowered her head to eat.
Actually, after getting along for nearly half a month, Mu Qingyi roughly understood Mo Zhu's personality. Although she looked cold, her heart was not cold. Moreover, she was sincerely concerned about Nangong Mo.
Just based on this, she had changed her opinion of her.
After Mu Qingyi finished her meal, she prepared to go to Inkcloud Pavilion to visit Nangong Mo. Although she knew that Nangong Mo had woken up yesterday, she did not go to visit him in order to finish refining the medicine as soon as possible.
However, when Mu Qingyi walked out of the Cloud Dream Brothel, she saw the butler, Lin De, running towards the Cloud Dream Brothel with sweat all over his head. This made Mu Qingyi frown.
" Miss, Miss Mu," Lin De said before he could catch his breath," Eunuch Zhang has arrived and is waiting in the front hall."”
"Eunuch Zhang?" Mu Qingyi frowned. She did not know who it was.
"Eunuch Zhang is an old man by the emperor's side.”Lin De urged. At this moment, he was also somewhat puzzled and worried about Eunuch Zhang's intentions.
The people around the emperor?
Mu Qingyi frowned even more when she heard that. She could not help but look at Lin De and say,""Is this Eunuch Zhang here to look for me?”
Lin De nodded when he heard this. Mu Qingyi did not ask any more questions when she saw this. She let Mo Zhu look after Nangong Mo and walked out of the Raindrop Courtyard. However, she was puzzled by Eunuch Zhang's intentions.
When Mu Qingyi arrived at the front hall, Eunuch Zhang had already been waiting there for some time. However, there was no impatience on his face. When he saw Mu Qingyi, Eunuch Zhang also greeted her with a smile.
Mu Qingyi sized up Eunuch Zhang. He had white hair at his temples and fine wrinkles on his forehead. He had a smile on his face and looked extremely friendly.
However, Mu Qingyi also knew that for an old man from the palace, this was just a facade. Looking at Eunuch Zhang's silver-gray eunuch uniform with golden thread, she knew that his status in the palace was definitely not low.
This sizing up only lasted for a moment before Mu Qingyi walked up to Eunuch Zhang and gave him a simple bow.
"Miss Mu, you don't have to be so polite.”Eunuch Zhang said with a smile on his face. However, his body was straight and he did not really mean that he could not take it.
Mu Qingyi smiled and asked,""I heard that Eunuch Zhang is looking for me. May I know what important matter you have to tell me?”
"This is not a servant looking for you." Eunuch Zhang said with a sharp voice. He then cleared his throat and raised his head."This servant is here to pass on the emperor's orders to summon Miss Mu into the palace to meet the emperor.”
When Mu Qingyi heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She did not understand why the Emperor suddenly wanted to see her. Could it be that she had attracted attention in the palace that day?
Or was it because of Nangong Mo?
Her heart was already racing, but Mu Qingyi's expression remained calm. She only asked Eunuch Zhang,""Eunuch Zhang, do you know why the Emperor is looking for me?”
When Eunuch Zhang heard this, he smiled and said,""This servant is only here to pass down the imperial edict. The Emperor's intentions are not something this servant can predict. Young Lady, you must be careful when you enter the palace later.”
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi bowed slightly and thanked him,""Thank you for your reminder, Eunuch Zhang."
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhang's eyes were filled with satisfaction. Then, he gave a few more instructions and went to the palace with Mu Qingyi.
Sitting in the carriage along the way, Mu Qingyi tried to figure out why the Emperor was looking for her.
After getting off the carriage, she stood at the palace gate and looked at the towering buildings. Mu Qingyi couldn't help but feel a little cautious. This was her second time coming to the palace, and it was indeed her first time coming to the palace during the day.
The scene in the day was very different from the scene at night. The entire palace seemed so high and mighty that her state of mind could not help but change.
As the saying goes, the heart of a ruler is unpredictable. It was hard to say whether it was a good or bad thing this time. She had to be careful later.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
