Hearing the word Concubine Ning, the proprietress of the clothing workshop was taken aback. Just when she was about to bend down to salute, she heard Mu Yunjin say to the person who spoke——

"Girl, you got the wrong person."

But as soon as Mu Yunjin finished speaking, she walked out of the garment workshop with the woman who spoke.

Seeing this scene, the proprietress gasped suspiciously. Did the two know each other or not?

...

Mu Yunjin did not expect to meet Hong Ling on the streets of Heyue City. After the last farewell, she thought that she would never meet Hong Ling again in this life.

"Hong Ling, why did you come to Xiyuan Country?" Mu Yunjin and Hong Ling walked side by side on the street.

Hong Ling pursed her lips, showing a gentle smile, but there was a bit of sadness in her eyes, "Of course I came with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Rong Jiu is here too?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows. A few days ago, she heard from Chu Qingyuan that Rong Jiu was going to become emperor a few years ago, so why did she suddenly come to Heyue City now?

"Concubine Ning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives in the inn in front, you and him can be regarded as acquaintances, why don't you go and meet him." Hong Ling said softly, with a hint of pleading in her words.

Mu Yunjin didn't want to have any entanglement with Rong Jiu, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. When she caught a glimpse of the lonely mood on Hong Ling's body, she bit her lip, feeling a bad premonition.

"Did something happen to your Highness?" Mu Yunjin asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Hong Ling turned her eyes to look at Mu Yunjin, and then nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go and have a look." Mu Yunjin thought that she had nothing to do, and in Xiyuan Country, she was probably the only person Rong Jiu knew.

They had saved each other's lives, although no one owed anyone anymore, but when she heard that something happened to Rong Jiu, she still wanted to visit him and see if she could help.

"Then I'll take you there, right in front." Seeing that Mu Yunjin was about to meet Rong Jiu, Hong Ling immediately pointed to the front, and then led Mu Yunjin the way.

Not far behind, two figures stared at the direction Mu Yunjin and Hong Ling left.

"Your Highness, isn't that the princess?" Huang Yan pointed at Mu Yunjin's back. They had been looking for Mu Yunjin since they left the house just now, and now they finally found it.

only……

Why did the princess enter an inn...

Or a hotel dedicated to staying...

Just as he was thinking, Chu Li had already walked towards the inn.

Seeing this, Huang Yan hurriedly followed.

...

"arrive."

Hong Ling took Mu Yunjin to the door of a room on the second floor, then knocked on the door, "Your Highness."

After waiting for a while, there was a response from inside, "Come in."

Hong Ling pushed open the door, glanced at Mu Yunjin beside her, and then walked inside.

Mu Yunjin followed behind Hong Ling, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a white figure sitting on a recliner with her eyes closed in a huge guest room.

Still as in the impression, Rong Jiu was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, her face was as snowy as a piece of brocade, like a crescent moon in the night sky, clear and peaceful, her whole person was elegant and dignified, yet there was a faint sense of freshness and softness.

Mu Yunjin looked at Rong Jiu, and found that he was thinner than last time, and there was a gloomy look under his eyelids, as if there was something wrong with his body.

"Your Highness, look who's here." Seeing Rong Jiu's eyes closed, Hong Ling smiled.

Hearing this, Rong Jiu, who was resting on the recliner with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the figure standing in front of her, she trembled slightly, her eyes quietly fixed on Mu Yunjin's body.

is her.

It turned out to be her...

After staring at Mu Yunjin for a while, Rong Jiu said slowly, with a soft tone, "Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see." Mu Yunjin looked at Rong Jiu, and found that when he spoke, his breath was not that strong, and when he opened his eyes, he looked even weaker.

"Sit down." Seeing that her complexion was not very good, Rong Jiu gestured for her to sit down.

Hong Ling at the side poured another glass of water for Mu Yunjin, and handed it to Mu Yunjin, "Princess Ning, drink some water."

Mu Yunjin took the teacup and thanked her.

"I heard that you are about to succeed, congratulations." Mu Yunjin congratulated Rong Jiu after taking a sip of tea.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the air was stalemate and depressed.

Mu Yunjin was startled for a moment, a little at a loss, "Why, what's wrong?"

"Actually, we came to Heyue City secretly on this trip to find a medicinal material." Hong Ling lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

"Medical ingredients?" Mu Yunjin froze, then looked at Rong Jiu again, "Is there something wrong with your body?"

After saying that, Mu Yunjin subconsciously took a closer look at Rong Jiu, and after touching the darkness under his eyelids again, a thought arose in her mind.

"Are you poisoned?" Mu Yunjin asked.

She remembered that Rong Min was also good at using poison.

"I'm fine." Rong Jiu said in a hoarse voice, not wanting to make her feel so embarrassed when seeing her at this moment.

Mu Yunjin ignored Rong Jiu, and turned to look at Hong Ling, "What medicinal materials are you looking for?"

"Sky Star Grass, a herb that can detoxify, is said to be extremely rare. We searched all over the territory of Donglin Kingdom, but we couldn't find it. After a long search in secret, we heard that the last Sky Star Grass was found in Heyue City, so we came here in secret." Hong Ling ignored Rong Jiu's words and told Mu Yunjin directly.

"So that's the case." Mu Yunjin nodded and looked at Rong Jiu, "How long have you been poisoned?"

Rong Jiu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing that he ignored her, Mu Yunjin looked at Hong Ling again, "How long has he been poisoned?"

Hearing this, Hong Ling looked at Mu Yunjin with deep meaning in her eyes, and then slowly said, "It's been more than a month."

"It's been a long time." Mu Yunjin thought that Xu Heyu had been poisoned for too long, causing the toxin to fuse into his blood. At this moment, Rong Jiu has been delayed for more than a month, and the situation is probably not good.

"I know an expert in detoxification, why don't we let her help with diagnosis and treatment?" Mu Yunjin thought of the scene when Huaying easily defeated Rong Min last time, and reckoned that she might be able to detoxify Rong Jiu this time.

Hearing this, Rong Jiu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Yunjin quietly, a strange color flashed in her eyes, "Why are you also in Heyue City?"

He remembered that the imperial city of Xiyuan Kingdom was Diehua City.

"Just like you, I came here to find medicinal ingredients." Mu Yunjin shrugged pretending to be relaxed.

"Are you sick?" Rong Jiu's face turned pale, and she looked at Mu Yunjin worriedly.

Mu Yunjin shook her head, "It's not me, it's a friend."

"Yeah." Rong Jiu relaxed his heart, glanced at Shi Chen, and said quietly, "It's getting late, let Hong Ling take you back."

"Then I'll bring someone to see you tomorrow." Mu Yunjin stood up, and even Rong Jiu asked her to leave, so naturally she wouldn't stay here any longer.

Rong Jiu nodded slightly, but did not speak.

...

Mu Yunjin and Hong Ling went downstairs together, only to find that Rong Jiu had only brought Hong Ling with her on this trip, so she asked curiously, "Where's the personal guard named Zhang Bai, didn't he come with you?"

Hearing this, Hong Ling paused, her eyes turned red suddenly, she couldn't restrain her emotions, "He's dead..."

"..."

Mu Yunjin was taken aback for a moment, originally she just asked casually, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.

Thinking of Rong Jiu's sickness just now, and thinking of Hong Ling's news that Zhang Bai died, Mu Yunjin's heart tightened, and she couldn't imagine what they went through a month ago.

"I'm going back first, you don't have to see me off." Mu Yunjin felt a little embarrassed, and said goodbye to Hongling after reaching the inn door.

Hong Ling paused, and when she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of a figure outside the inn, she understood, and nodded slightly.

"Goodbye." Mu Yunjin said.

"goodbye."

...

As soon as she stepped out of the door of the inn, Mu Yunjin saw Chu Li's figure in the night. He was standing on the opposite side of the inn, and his gaze was fixed on her.

Mu Yunjin looked around, the fireworks festival was over, no one was setting off fireworks on the street, and only a few shops on the street were still lit with candles.

"Why are you here?" Mu Yunjin approached Chu Li and asked him.

Chu Li lowered his gaze, looked at Mu Yunjin, his eyes flickered, and his tone was displeased, "Do you know what time it is?"

"I know." Mu Yunjin deliberately checked the time before coming down, and it was just the hour of Hai.

"Are you sure you know?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows, with a trace of mockery in his cold tone.

Mu Yunjin also raised her eyebrows, folded her arms, and took a look at Chu Li, "What exactly does His Highness Prince Ning want to tell me?"

Seeing her cute appearance, Chu Li was speechless for a while, lowered his voice, and said angrily, "You are a married woman, and you go to the inn to meet other men in the middle of the night, don't you take me too seriously?"

fair sex……

late at night……

The corner of Mu Yunjin's mouth twitched. It was only nine o'clock in the evening, but Chu Li exaggerated it into midnight.

But after thinking about it, Mu Yunjin thought of another meaning, so she deliberately tilted her head to look at Chu Li, with a sweet smile on her lips, approached Chu Li, stretched out her fingers and gently drew circles on his chest.

"Your Highness is jealous?" Mu Yunjin blinked and stared at Chu Li innocently.

Hearing the word jealous, Chu Li felt embarrassed for a moment, and felt uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Yunjin. He reached out and slapped her hand away, and said in an impatient tone, "Mu Yunjin, pay attention to your sense of proportion!"

Mu Yunjin originally thought that Chu Li was really jealous, and she was still a little happy in her heart, but now Chu Li directly shook her hand away, and after hearing his very impatient tone, she realized that it was all for his own sake.

He lowered his eyes to look at his hand, just now Chu Li shook her off with great force, but now the back of his hand has turned red, accompanied by a burst of burning pain.

Thinking of how Chu Li used to speak to her in a low voice with a sense of coaxing, Mu Yunjin felt a little aggrieved.

He didn't want to talk about Chu Li anymore, he turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Chu Li watched her leave with her head drooping, and then thought of the moment when he slapped her away just now because of the sudden irritability, it seemed that the strength was a little heavier, and he wondered if it hurt her...

After thinking about it, looking at Mu Yunjin's back, his eyes gradually became complicated...
