“If you’re poisoned, you’ll die. There’s no cure,” Ning Yue said.
Jin Li was completely stunned. It was actually an incurable poison! She had even guaranteed in front of Lian Xin that she would definitely be able to cure the poison in his body.
She had originally planned to ask Ning Yue something she wanted to know after hypnotizing her.
But until now, Jin Li could not ask anymore. She could not take it anymore, so she did not want to stay any longer.
By the time Jin Li left, it was already night. Ning Yue was exhausted from dealing with her.
She sat for a while and was about to rest when she was interrupted by Nan Xing. “Princess!”
Suddenly, Nan Xing rushed in. He looked at Ning Yue nervously. “After that person went out, the servants in our residence suddenly fell unconscious.” Unconscious? Ning Yue’s expression changed drastically.
She was about to ask something when she smelled something else. “Fire oil!”
Not long after Jin Li left, something happened to the Nan residence. It must have something to do with Jin Li!
She swore that after this matter was over, she would definitely teach Jin Li and Lian Xin a lesson!
Nan Xing secretly ran out of the tunnel with Ning Yue. Ning Yue couldn’t help but sigh. “I didn’t expect you to have a tunnel here!”
“Of course. Otherwise, my life would have been over long ago,” Nan Xing said.
Hearing Nan Xing’s confident words, Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. She said, “Alright, alright. Let’s not talk so much. Let’s enter the palace.”
Enter the palace? Nan Xing was a little stunned. Why did they have to enter the palace? Besides, could they enter the palace?
“Princess, can we enter the palace like this? What if Lian Xin tells the imperial guards that they don’t know us and asks them to hack us to death?” Nan Xing asked.
Ning Yue rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, the imperial guards arrived.
The leader of the Black City Kingdom’s imperial guards kept apologizing to Ning Yue and said that he was late.
He told Ning Yue that something big had happened in the palace and asked her not to mind.
Ning Yue looked at the imperial guards in surprise. Then, she turned to look at Nan Xing, who was also at a loss.
What happened to the palace now? Although he didn’t want to care, Nan Xing still asked, “What happened?”
“It’s just a small matter. Please enter the palace, Lord Nan and Princess Mingyue.” That person said.
Nan Xing frowned and asked, “The captain of the Imperial Guards has always been Zhou Hao. May I know who you are? How should I address you?”
“Lord Nan, I’m the leader of the Imperial Guards, Liu Yao,” Liu Yao said with a smile.
Nan Xing was a little disgusted by his smile. This smile was too disgusting. He asked despite knowing the answer, “Liu Yao, right? What are you doing here?”
“Ahem.” Liu Yao almost choked on his own saliva and replied, “I was ordered to protect the princess and Lord Nan. The emperor said that although the heir is imprisoned, no matter what, the princess is still a princess. The dignity of the royal family cannot be violated, so the emperor sent me to protect the princess.”
“Huh?” Ning Yue looked at Liu Yao in surprise. What he said did not make sense.
According to the logic in Liu Yao’s words, Jiang Ying’s imprisonment was Jiang Ying’s business and had nothing to do with her. But since it had nothing to do with her, why did he mention it?
She simply asked, “Are you here to protect me? Then let me ask you, have you caught the person who set the fire?”
Liu Yao replied respectfully, “Princess, we’ve already captured them. There are a total of 30 men in black. The emperor said that these men in black will be handed over to you.”
What? Ning Yue’s eyes widened. She was already certain that Lian Xin was behind this fire. After all, there was a precedent for him setting fire in Great Yun Nation.
However, this man in black surprised her.
Ning Yue thought that Jin Li had already asked her about the antidote for the poison in her heart. At that time, the answer she gave was that there was no cure.
Jin Li was so angry that she almost chopped her up. Then, a few hours later, there was a fire in the Nan residence.
Then, Liu Yao arrived.
Ning Yue did not believe that there was no connection here at all.
“How’s the Nan residence?” Ning Yue asked calmly.
She did not think that the Nan residence would be intact. As expected, Liu Yao’s words confirmed her guess.
Liu Yao told her, “Princess, I’ve already gotten someone to put out the fire. I don’t know the exact situation. I can get Lord Nan to send someone to investigate..”
