The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

"Jingning?" A clear and gentle male voice came from behind Su Jingning with surprise.

Su Jingning's body stiffened, his whole body was cold, his face was pale, and he clenched his fists with his hands hanging on both sides, suppressing his hatred.

She will never forget this voice in her life! Mu Ling!

Su Jingning calmed down, turned around slowly and looked at Mu Ling. He was wearing a moon-white robe with cloud patterns, his facial features were soft and gentle, and he looked at the bright and clear scenery without any aggression.

But Su Jingning knew that no one in the world was better at acting than him. His biological mother was of humble status and was not favored by His Majesty, so he acted like he had no desires, wandered around the world, and did not attract attention. This made everyone lose their guard against him, but these were just his disguises to cover up his wolfish ambitions! Later, all those princes died in his hands.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Ling!" Su Jingning bowed slowly towards her with a respectful expression, but the moment he lowered his eyes, the murderous intent in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Jingning! There's no need to be so polite between you and me." Mu Ling stepped forward and wanted to help Su Jingning up, his tone hinting at Su Jingning's dissatisfaction with his unfamiliarity with him.

Su Jingning gently avoided his hand. She felt disgusted whenever she saw him now.

"I have only met Prince Ling twice. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Your Highness to call me by my maiden name. You should just call me Second Miss Su." Su Jingning took a step back, glanced at Mu Ling with a cold expression, her tone a little icy.

Mu Ling looked at Su Jingning and thought about what Chen Ruofu had said to him. Chen Ruofu said that Su Jingning knew about his plot against her, so it was no wonder that Su Jingning looked so cold towards him.

"I am sorry for being rude. I haven't seen you for a long time. I am a little surprised to meet you by chance. I hope Miss Su will forgive me." He bowed to Su Jingning with an apologetic look.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will leave first." Su Jingning nodded to Mu Ling and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Second Miss Su, I'm very sorry about Chen Ruofu's matter. I didn't know she would hurt you behind my back. If I had known, I would have stopped her." Mu Ling called Su Jingning again with a sad expression, his eyes full of affection.

"What does the matter between your highness and Chen Ruofu have to do with me? Chen Ruofu is no longer a member of my Su family. Your highness and she love each other, so just marry her. Why do you still bother me?" Su Jingning turned sideways, frowned slightly, and spoke in a cold voice. She felt sick if she stayed for one more second.

The people around also heard Su Jingning's words, and they immediately remembered the period of time when the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion suddenly announced the severance of relations with their adopted daughter Su Ruofu a few days ago, saying that she murdered her elder sister, and it turned out that it was for Prince Ling!

"Miss Su, you misunderstood." He looked at Su Jingning's beautiful face with cold anger on his face. He wanted to go forward and grab her.

"Your Highness is a prince, please respect yourself." Su Jingning avoided his hand, looked at him coldly, turned around and walked out of Fengting Tower without even a greeting.

"I didn't expect that the person who had a relationship with Prince Ling was the third lady of the Su family. Then the rumors during this period must be false. Looking at the attitude of the second lady of the Su family, I'm afraid she has been kept in the dark by Prince Ling and the adopted daughter of the Su family." A person on the side said softly with some indignation.

Mu Ling's face became more and more gloomy as he heard the pointing and criticizing. No matter what she knew, he had to get her. He had to get the military power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Su Jingning didn't expect to meet Mu Ling here today. Hatred surged in his heart and pain penetrated into his bones.

Mu Ling, I will slowly pay you back the pain I suffered in my previous life! If you want the supreme throne, I will make you fall into the quagmire and never get what you want!

When Su Jingning returned home, it was already dark.

Outside the Lan Ya Pavilion, Yun Ya was pacing back and forth anxiously, occasionally looking out.

"Miss!" Seeing Su Jingning coming back, he hurried towards her.

"Miss! You're back!"

"What's the matter? Is my mother here?" Su Jingning asked nervously

"No, it's the master who is here." Yun Ya took the food box from Su Jingning and replied softly.

"Dad?" Su Jingning paused. Why was his father here?

"Yes, the master has been here for half an hour. He said that he happened to be free today and came to see the young lady. We failed to hide it. The master knew that you had secretly gone out, so he stayed and waited inside." Yun Ya looked a little worried.

"It's okay, as long as mother doesn't know." Su Jingning handed the cloak to Yun Ya and went into the house.

The Duke of Zhenguo sat beside the chess game that Su Jingning had not yet finished playing with his elder brother a few days ago, and studied it carefully with his head down.

"Father!" Su Jingning called out to the Duke of Zhenguo in a tender voice.

"Your injury has just healed, but you sneaked out of the house again. Aren't you afraid that your mother will find out and scold you again?" The Duke of Zhenguo tucked his sleeves, looked at Su Jingning and lightly rebuked him.

"Hehe, as long as dad doesn't tell anyone, no one will know." Su Jingning smiled brightly, took the arm of the Duke of Zhenguo and acted coquettishly.

"Hmph, if it happens again next time, I will definitely tell your mother. Where have you been? You just come back now." The Duke of Zhenguo patted her hand, snorted, and asked.

"I went to Fengting Tower to buy some snacks." Su Jingning said in a crisp voice with bright almond-shaped eyes.

"Do you need to go in person to buy snacks? Next time you go out, bring a guard with you to avoid getting hurt again." The Duke of Zhenguo obviously didn't believe it. He tapped Su Jingning's forehead and said lovingly.

"I understand." Su Jingning nodded quickly.

"Father, aren't you busy today? Why did you come to my place?" Su Jingning sat down opposite the Duke of Zhenguo and asked softly.

"Today, His Majesty kept me to talk, so I didn't go to the military arena. I returned home early and thought of coming to see you." The Duke of Zhenguo poured Su Jingning a cup of hot tea and said in a deep voice.

Su Jingning took the tea and took a sip.

"A few days ago, I wrote a letter to your second uncle and others, discussing with them the matter of handing over the military power of the Western Territory, and they all agreed. When they return to the court to hold a banquet in five days, the military power will be handed over to Your Majesty."

"Father, do you think His Majesty would agree to this?" Su Jingning asked, holding a teacup.

"Your Majesty will agree." The Duke of Zhenguo lowered his head to observe the chessboard, and after a while he spoke slowly. He understood His Majesty.

"Come, play a game with father. We haven't played chess for a long time." Duke Zhenguo looked at Su Beining with a smile on his face.

"Dad, you can't beat me. You even like to regret your moves. I don't want to play with you." Su Jingning turned her head away proudly, unwilling to play with her father. Her father's chess character was the worst she had ever seen, bar none.

"Then I will tell your mother about you sneaking out of the house a few days ago." The Duke of Zhenguo threatened.

"Go, go, go, go. I can't make it yet. Then you are not allowed to regret your move!" Su Jingning was speechless and had to agree.

"Row!"

The father and daughter played five games back and forth. The Duke of Zhenguo regretted his moves in every game, but he could not beat Su Jingning in every game. In the end, he could only leave with an unhappy face in the face of Su Jingning's disgust, leaving Su Jingning with a rosy smile on his face.

The Su family's farm outside the city.

In a shabby little house, Chen Ruofu was lying among worn-out jackets.

"Miss, the medicine is ready, drink it quickly." Chunlan came in from outside with a bowl of medicine and called her softly.

Chen Ruofu looked pale and haggard, and she stood up. Looking at Chunlan holding the medicine bowl, everyone avoided her after the accident, and even took advantage of her. Only Chunlan, who was not favored by her in the past, pleaded for her, followed her out of the Su family, and took care of her. If it weren't for her, she would not be able to survive.

"Chunlan, I didn't expect that it would be you who is with me now."

"What are you talking about, young lady? Chunlan will always stay with you. Wherever you go, I will go." Chunlan handed the medicine to Chen Ruofu and said softly.

Chen Ruofu's expression was moved. She looked around and hatred suddenly appeared in her eyes. They wanted her to die.

Humph, dream on! She, Chen Ruofu, wants to be the most noble woman in the world. The Su family dared to treat her like this for Su Jingning. Wait, she will make everyone in the Su family regret it!

"Chunlan, have you delivered the things I asked you to deliver to Prince Ling's Mansion?" she asked.

"I delivered it yesterday morning. But I didn't see His Royal Highness Prince Ling." Chunlan replied softly.

"It's okay, he will come to see me." Chen Ruofu closed her eyes. She knew Mu Ling. He wanted the military power of the Su family, and she could help him.

Zhenguogongfu.

At night, Su Jingning dreamed of a battlefield with blood flowing like a river and corpses everywhere. The warm blood of her father and brother was sprinkled on her face, and they fell down one by one in front of her. There were also the desperate and sad faces of her mother and aunts under the Wu Sect. She felt as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows, but she didn't save anyone. Su Ruofu's smug smile, Mu Ling's cruelty and ruthlessness. She hated them so much that she wanted to cut them into pieces, but she couldn't hurt them.

All her loved ones left her, leaving her alone, unable to find a way out in this dark and cold world.

"Miss?"

"Miss, wake up." Yun Qing looked at Su Jingning, who was sweating and in pain, and wanted to wake her up. Since the young lady fell into the water, she had nightmares every day and couldn't sleep well.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare again? Why don't you ask the court doctor to take a look?" Yun Qing said softly as he looked at Su Jingning, who had opened his eyes with empty eyes.

"No, it will be fine after a few days." Su Jingning's voice was a little hoarse. He rubbed his head, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"Miss, Chen Ruofu was secretly taken away by Prince Ling." Yun Ya said while combing Su Jingning's hair.

"Okay, I understand. The bait has been put out, and the fish will naturally take the bait. Let's give Prince Ling a big gift." Su Jingning's voice was light and nonchalant.

Su Jingning looked at himself in the scene, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty hatred. Mu Ling, you will never get what you want in this life. I will make your life worse than death!

Su Jingning glimpsed the wooden box on the nanmu dressing table. It was out of tune with the exquisitely crafted dressing table. It was given by Master Huihai. She had not touched it since she was injured. Thinking of what Master Huihai said, she opened the box. An ordinary red string hung a water drop-shaped bead, which was crystal clear and had a drop of red ink inside, which was a bit mysterious.

She pondered for a while and put the bracelet on her hand. The beads looked even more mysterious on her white, almost transparent wrist.
