Chapter 123 How did you get poisoned?
Su Qingning stood quietly by the clear lake. As she looked at the rippling surface of the lake, ripples also arose in her heart.
However, Su Qingning waited for a long time but Mo Lintian did not show up, which made her originally restless heart gradually calm down.
Did something delay you? Why haven't you come yet?
Su Qingning looked back at the bustling street behind her, but did not see the familiar figure. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and her mood changed from initial expectation to loss.
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer! If he doesn’t come again, I will ignore him. Su Qingning thought angrily.
However, a quarter of an hour later, Su Qingning did not wait for Mo Lintian, but waited for Xie Yichen who came to report the news.
"Miss Su San."
Hearing the voice, Su Qingning turned around immediately. However, when she saw who the person was, a hint of disappointment that was hard to ignore flashed in her eyes.
"Third..." Su Qingning subconsciously wanted to call him Third Brother, but after realizing her current identity, she immediately changed her words.
"Young Master Xie, are you here to boat too?" Su Qingning asked.
"No." Xie Yichen shook his head. Because he was worried about the poison in Mo Lintian's body, he didn't notice Su Qingning's abnormality just now.
"Lin Tian asked me to come." Xie Yichen explained, "Miss Su San, Lin Tian suddenly had something important to deal with and couldn't keep the appointment. He asked me to come and tell you."
When Su Qingning heard that Mo Lintian could not come, she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in her heart.
"What happened to His Royal Highness Prince Lin? Is it a big problem?" Although she was angry that Mo Lintian broke the appointment at the last minute, Su Qingning couldn't help but care about him.
"It's nothing, not a big deal. I think it can be solved in a day or two!" Xie Yichen lied without blushing or beating his heart, but the worry that flashed across his eyes betrayed him.
Su Qingning had been looking at Xie Yichen, so she naturally did not miss the change in his eyes. She suddenly felt a little uneasy, and her intuition told her that something had happened to Mo Lintian.
"That's it, it'll be fine."
Su Qingning pretended to be relieved. She knew that if she asked directly, Xie Yichen would never tell her. Instead of wasting time here, she might as well follow him and see.
"Miss Su San, I have delivered your message. I will leave first. You should go back early too!" Xie Yichen reminded before leaving.
"Okay." Su Qingning nodded, "I'll be back later."
Xie Yichen didn't doubt it and turned around and left in a hurry. Because he was too worried about Mo Lintian's situation, Xie Yichen didn't notice Su Qingning secretly following him.
After hurrying all the way, Xie Yichen hurried into the Prince Lin's Mansion.
Su Qingning, who was following behind him, saw someone entering the Lin Wang Mansion and knew that Mo Lintian must be inside. She glanced at the guards guarding the door, then quietly went around to a remote corner and climbed over the wall into the Lin Wang Mansion.
When Su Qingning first came to the palace, she didn't know where Mo Lintian's courtyard was. However, she was lucky. Just as she walked out from behind a rockery, she saw Emperor Mo Linyuan on a small road not far away. There were several people following behind him, and they were walking hurriedly in one direction.
Everyone in the imperial capital knew that Mo Linyuan doted on his younger brother Mo Lintian very much. Now, he suddenly appeared in the Prince Lin's Mansion. Su Qingning guessed that he was here to find Mo Lintian.
So Su Qingning followed without hesitation.
Not long after, they walked into a courtyard with exquisite and gorgeous decoration.
In the spacious courtyard, Xie Yichen, Qi Runyu, Tang Jinan and Yang Youli were all there. They were staring nervously at the closed door of the master bedroom, their eyes full of anxiety and worry. They didn't even notice Mo Linyuan coming.
"How's Lintian?" Mo Linyuan walked forward and asked anxiously, "How did he suddenly get poisoned?"
Poisoned? !
Su Qingning, who was following behind, heard these two words clearly. She was shocked and felt a strong sense of uneasiness and worry in her heart.
Su Qingning was just about to go over and ask for clarification when she saw the tightly closed door suddenly open from the inside, and Master Ning Yi walked out with a serious expression.
"Master Ning Yi, how is Lintian? Has the poison been cured?" Mo Linyuan asked anxiously.
Master Ning Yi shook his head with a look of shame on his face. He sighed and said, "Alas! My skills are not good enough to cure the poison of His Highness Prince Lin."
"What?! You can't detoxify it either?!"
Everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. You know, Master Ning Yi is the most powerful pharmacist and physician in the imperial capital. If even he couldn't detoxify, then Mo Lintian wouldn't be...
"Alas! The poison that His Royal Highness Prince Lin was poisoned with is really strange. According to my observation, this poison is extremely toxic and will kill within three days. However, His Royal Highness Prince Lin has been poisoned for more than a month and is still alive. It is really strange." Master Ning Yi said, shaking his head, his face full of confusion.
However, when Xie Yichen and the other three heard what Master Ning Yi said, they were stunned.
"I was poisoned a month ago!" Qi Runyu was shocked and asked subconsciously: "Could it be that time?"
"What do you mean by that time?" Mo Linyuan looked at Qi Runyu and asked, "Ayu, do you know how Lin Tian got poisoned?"
Qi Runyu nodded, a look of self-blame on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, Lin Tian was poisoned because of me."
"A month ago, the demons launched an attack on Youcheng. We, the students of the Imperial Academy, joined the soldiers defending the city to resist them. However, a monster suddenly appeared among the demons. It was enormous, invulnerable to weapons, and emanated a black aura. Many of our companions were killed by it."
"At the time, I was fighting the demons. The battlefield was extremely chaotic, and I didn't notice the monster approaching me. By the time I noticed, it had already raised its claws towards me. At that moment, I thought I was dead, but Lin Tian suddenly rushed over and blocked the monster's attack for me. His left shoulder was also scratched by the monster, leaving four hideous claw marks."
"Later, the demons retreated, and the wound on Lin Tian's shoulder slowly healed after treatment, so we didn't pay much attention to it. Now I think the monster's claws must have been poisonous, and Lin Tian was poisoned at that time."
After saying this, Qi Runyu's heart was completely wrapped in self-blame, and after listening to his explanation, the others also knew what was going on.
Looking at Qi Runyu's face full of regret and self-blame, Mo Linyuan couldn't bear to blame him anymore no matter how much resentment he had in his heart.
Mo Linyuan knew that even if he had the chance to do it again, Mo Lintian would still make the same decision. After all, Qi Runyu was his cousin and a good brother he had played with since childhood.
