"Your Highness?"
Lin Ze looked at his master's gloomy face and could not help but call out worriedly.
His master treated Mu Qingyi very differently. He had been by his master's side for many years and could tell. Moreover, after so many years, this was also the first time Master was so concerned about a girl.
However, he did not expect that it would already mean the end before it had even begun. This made him feel sorry for his master. After all, who would dare to disobey an imperial edict?
"Get down. Don't come looking for me if there's nothing else." Nangong Ye said angrily. His tightly clenched hands revealed the forbearance in his heart.
He had never felt indignant because of his father's bias, but this time, his heart was filled with unwillingness. Nangong Mo, how could he be worthy of Mu Qingyi?
He gritted his teeth, his eyes dark and angry. After a long time, he finally relaxed.
Nangong Ye was not an emotional person, so he would not lose his mind because of a woman.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lin Ze's voice came from the door. Nangong Ye put away all his emotions and walked out of the room.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Ye looked at Lin Ze and asked in a deep voice.
"Wangye, Miss Mu is here. This subordinate asked her to wait in the front hall.”Lin Ze looked at Nangong Ye carefully with a hint of worry in his eyes.
However, Nangong Ye was not as worried as Lin Ze. When he heard that Mu Qingyi had arrived, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then frowned and said,""Do you know why she's here?"
"This subordinate doesn't know." Lin Ze paused for a moment and then said,"I don't know."Is it because of the courtyard?"
Nangong Ye stopped Lin Ze before he could finish his sentence. After giving Lin Ze a warning look, Nangong Ye quietly walked to the front hall.
When Nangong Ye arrived at the front hall, he saw Mu Qingyi sitting in the hall in a white dress. Her clear eyes were looking out of the hall, as if she was attracted by something outside the hall and thinking about something.
This quiet Mu Qingyi was different from the cold and lively Mu Qingyi that Nangong Ye had seen before. For a moment, Nangong Ye forgot to look away.
"Does your highness not know that staring at a girl like this is extremely rude?”Mu Qingyi gently raised her head and looked at Nangong Ye.
Nangong Ye didn't answer. He just sat down beside Mu Qingyi without saying a word.
A trace of doubt flashed in Mu Qingyi's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal. She took out a small porcelain bottle and a pill from her sleeve and handed them to Nangong Ye.
" The medicine in the bottle is one pill a day. He will be able to eat it normally in less than half a month. As for this…" Mu Qingyi paused and pointed at the pill."This is the antidote."
Originally, Mu Qingyi was going to deliver the antidote to the previous residence. However, when she thought about how careful Nangong Ye was with that place, she gave up and went straight to the Xuan Prince's residence.
In fact, if she could, she would not have come here. As Mu Qingyi thought about it, she could not help but sigh in her heart.
Nangong Ye did not know what Mu Qingyi was thinking at the moment. He remained silent after hearing Mu Qingyi's words. He only signaled Lin Ze, who was standing at the side, to put away the antidote.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi became even more suspicious. She felt that Nangong Ye was a little strange today, but she could not tell what was strange about him.
Then, Mu Qingyi remembered that she was not familiar with Nangong Ye, so she did not think too much about it. She stood up and said,""Since the antidote has been delivered, I'll go back first.”
Mu Qingyi walked towards the door and did not notice the annoyance in Nangong Ye's eyes.
"Why?" Nangong Ye looked at Mu Qingyi's back and asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi could not help but turn around to look at Nangong Ye in confusion. She hesitated for a moment before asking,""Your Highness, are you asking me?"
When Nangong Ye heard this, he realized what he had just said. He could not help but feel a little annoyed. Then, he twisted his mind and looked up at Mu Qingyi with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"I heard that you were betrothed to Fifth Brother and Miss Mu yesterday.”The mockery in Nangong Ye's eyes intensified.
Mu Qingyi frowned when she heard that. She could see the mockery in Nangong Ye's eyes clearly, which made her a little angry. However, she still said calmly,""I wonder what your highness is curious about?”
"I wonder how someone like Nangong Mo could make Miss Mu treat him differently?”Nangong Ye asked. Although his face was still full of sarcasm, many waves were stirred in his heart.
Mu Qingyi, who could still maintain her composure, could not help but look at Nangong Ye coldly.""I don't know what kind of person King Yu is, but I don't know what kind of person Your Highness is. No matter what, King Yu is your brother, isn't he?”
As Mu Qingyi spoke, she acted as if she didn't notice Nangong Ye's expression turning ugly. She continued,""I've already delivered the antidote.”
Then, Mu Qingyi turned around and walked out of the door without waiting for Nangong Ye to speak.
Nangong Ye looked at Mu Qingyi's back as she left. His eyes were dark, but his hands were still tightly clenched.
Mu Qingyi was still in a bad mood even after she left Prince Xuan's mansion. It could be said that she would be in a bad mood if anyone said or looked down on Nangong Mo.
Mu Qingyi looked up at the sky and could not help but ask herself, Is this really good?
"Do you guys think that the Mu family is a saltless woman? Otherwise, why would she be willing to marry a fool?”People on the street were discussing in low voices.
"I don't think so. I heard that Madam Mu is a rare beauty.”Another person said.
"If that's the case, why marry a fool?”A third person also joined the discussion.
"The Emperor bestowed a marriage, so what if they are unwilling? Are you defying the decree?"
"I don't think she's afraid of disobeying the decree. Although King Yu is a fool, he's still a king. If she marries a king, she won't have to worry about food and clothing.”Another person said sourly.
"Hahahaha, Wang Er, you're just jealous. Who doesn't know that your family is too poor to get a wife? Now that he was jealous here, he remembered to find a good father in his next life.”One of the men laughed mockingly. Then, the group of people laughed. Only the one called Wang Er had a gloomy expression.
Mu Qingyi moved her gaze away from the group of people. There was no anger on her face. She had heard too many such discussions on the way from King Yu's residence to Xuan's residence. Most people thought that they were only willing to marry a silly prince because they were greedy for vanity.
However, she did not care about these discussions.
As she thought about it, Mu Qingyi stopped looking at those people and quickened her pace towards King Yu's Mansion. She had promised Nangong Mo that she would return as soon as possible.
"Are you saying that Mu Qingyi went to the Xuan Prince Manor just now?”A gloomy voice came from the dark, making the entire room seem very depressed.
"Yes, Master, I saw it with my own eyes.”A man kneeling on the ground lowered his head and said.
"Do you know why she went to look for Xuan Prince?”The gloomy voice sounded again, causing the man on the ground to feel a little numb on his back.
"This subordinate does not know."
"Pa!" The man in the darkness slammed the table and stood up. His eyes were filled with gloom as he stared at his subordinates on the ground and said angrily,"You don't know? Don't you know what I still need you for?"
"Master, this subordinate is incompetent and willing to be punished.”The man on the ground was about to surrender. He thought that he would suffer pain, but after a long time, there was no movement. He could not help but raise his head in confusion.
"Master?"
" I'll let you off this time. Keep a close eye on Mu Qingyi. If she really has any contact with Nangong Ye, report it to me immediately. If there's any more mishaps, you'll know what to do.”The man returned to his seat and spoke in a deep voice.
"This subordinate understands!"
The person kneeling on the ground stood up and left, but the haze in the eyes of the people in the room did not dissipate for a long time.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
