Chapter 56: Pursuit
Shen Li saw Mu Yan who was sitting on the side of the bed and was sweating.
"What's going on?"
He whispered her name, but Mu Yan buried his head in his arms, and didn't say a word. Shen Li frowned, looked at Hongluan, who followed him, and asked with some annoyance, "What's going on?"
Hongluan was startled and immediately fell to his knees.
"Slaves, slaves and maids don't know.When I got up in the morning, I was fine.Later, I ate the pastries sent by Master Fang.After playing with the little ferret for a while, I suddenly covered my chest and shouted pain.I was in a hurry.I just wanted to run out to find a doctor.I saw you, Lord Wang."
"Pastry." Shen Li's eyes lit up.
"Hmm." Hongluan nodded in a panic. It's just this plate on the table, and the maid of the master of Fang sent it over early this morning, saying that it was specially brought from his hometown, and there is nothing in the capital, so I brought some for the young lady to taste."
Shen Li heard this, looked down at the person in his arms, and instantly thought of something.
"Bring the pastry to the king."
Hongluan answered, got up, took the plate of pastries and handed it to Shen Li, Shen Li held Mu Yan in one hand, took it with the other, looked at it, put it in his nose and sniffed it, and then handed it to Hongluan.
"Someone, go and bring Concubine Ling to this king."
"Yes."
Shen Li slowly put Mu Yan on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and let Hongluan take care of her.
After a while, Fang Biling was taken.She walked into the room and looked at Shen Li puzzled.Although she was not favored.But after all, she had been with him for a while.I knew how to look at his face.At this moment, when she saw Shen Li's serious appearance, she felt a drum in her heart.Don't dare to be coquettish.Obediently stood aside and saluted him.
"I don't know what the prince is looking for Biling."
Shen Li's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after glancing at her, his chin lifted slightly, and he pointed to the plate of pastries on the table.
"You ordered the maid to send it to Yan'er."
Fang Biling looked at the plate of pastries, and then looked into the inner room.
Seeing this, Shen Li's eyes couldn't help but sink. The king is asking you, why, all of a sudden, you're dumb."
Fang Biling lowered her head, her eyes were 'chaotic', obviously a little flustered.
"Yes, that's right, I asked the maid to bring this pastry to Sister Smoke.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Li sneered, and his face was full of sarcasm. Yan'er ate the pastry you sent, and suddenly her heart hurt so badly that she couldn't even speak while lying inside.
Hearing this, Fang Biling raised her head sharply and her eyes widened. No, it can't be, I, I'm just...... How can it be heart-wrenching?"
"Just what." Shen Li's face was calm, and he was cold. It's just that I can't get used to seeing this king spoil her, so I poisoned this pastry, right?"
"I don't."
Fang Biling fell to her knees with a thud, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashed a little tear because of panic and fear.
"Lord, Lord, I didn't poison me, I, I'm just a little jealous, that's why I let the maid put some croton in this pastry.
"Croton."
Shen Li didn't laugh angrily, took the pastries on the table and handed them to Fang Biling. Croton, yes, it's not poisoned, is it, okay, you eat this plate of pastry for this king now, and this king will believe you."
Fang Biling looked at Shen Li in a daze, trying to see a trace of pity or reluctance in his eyes.
She met Shen Li in the best years.Since then, she has been in love.I can't forget it.Although my family has dissuaded me many times.I said that marrying into the royal family will be very hard.But she is desperate.I don't marry if I am not a king.She will never forget the day I sat in the 'flower' sedan chair.The day I married into the Rui Wang's mansion.I can't forget the red candle.Shen Li unveiled the moment when she unveiled her hijab.So even if I came all the way.I was lonely every day.I kept the empty room alone every night.She never regretted it.
She thought that it would be difficult for a man as indifferent as Shen Li to have a 'female' son really enter his heart, so even if she was not favored, she would still have a chance, but since the girl named Mu Yan came, everything had changed, and she only knew that the cold-hearted man who was busy with government affairs in the study all day long would also be angry, annoyed, laughing, and 'showing' such gentle eyes.
She hated, but she was helpless, but she was not like Feng Ziying, she could endure silently all the time, she was unwilling to be forgotten like this, so she wanted to fix that girl.
Although she is rude and willful, she is not stupid.The prince is so angry now.Then Mu Yan seems to have really had an accident.In this way, this pastry must have a problem.But she only put croton.Why did it become a poisonous 'medicine'.
"Why, didn't you just put croton, why didn't you dare to eat it?"
Shen Li's words scraped Fang Biling's heart like a knife.She trembled and looked up at Shen Li.She fully believed that if Mu Yan had any three longs and two shorts.This man would inevitably take her to the funeral.
"Lord, I've been married to you for a while, even if we haven't been together for a long time, even if you never look at me properly, even if you never think of me as your wife, but, what kind of 'girl' Biling is, you should know what kind of 'girl' Biling is, I'm stupid, I'm stupid, will I be stupid enough to directly ask the maid to send Mu Yan a pastry with poison hidden in the 'medicine', not to mention that I gave Feng Ziying and Liu Feixu there. Why are they okay, just Mu Yan had an accident."
Speaking of which, Fang Biling suddenly frowned.Yes.Why didn't she think of this layer.She only put crotons in Mu Yan's pastries.The other two of the pastries are fine.But it's a coincidence.Why is Mu Yan's pastry poisonous in the end?The other two are fine.
"What kind of 'girl' Sister Fang is, I also understand it now, although it turns out that she is spicy and tricky, she is also thoughtful."
Suddenly, there was a sound in the back room, Mu Yan walked out of the screen, with a smile on his face, Fang Biling was obviously stunned, but Shen Li's expression didn't change much, he put the plate of pastries back on the table, glanced at Mu Yan, and sighed, "Why, I don't plan to continue acting."
