Chapter 356 Such a preference
Thinking that Qiu Bi might be in a state of distress, Ning Jiewei signaled all the guards to withdraw and wait outside the guest room.
Lin Mu indicated the restraints on his body with his eyes and smiled politely at Ning Jiewei.
"Thank you, Fourth Miss Ning, for your help."
Ning Jiewei walked towards Qiu Bi, wanting to tidy up her clothes and appearance. As she walked gracefully, she was still immersed in defending the weak and smiling happily. She didn't realize Lin Mu's hint and responded casually.
"It's just a small matter, no need to thank me."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the voice was familiar. She turned her head in confusion and saw Lin Mu.
"Ok?"
"Lord Lin, why are you here? I thought you were carrying out the emperor's orders and couldn't act rashly, otherwise, the emperor and Lord Feng would definitely be suspicious."
Lin Mu spoke modestly and explained in detail.
"Saving people is the most important thing. I am worried and can't take care of these things. In addition, Lord Zhuang has changed the inn and set up a battle array, so the emperor won't find out. Even if Lord Feng is suspicious, he is not good at battle array and can't get here in a short time. Therefore, I am here, and there is no problem."
He lowered his eyes and smiled with relief.
"So Princess Yuexi noticed something was wrong? I thought..."
There was a smile in his eyes, very much like his older brother's usual chuckle. Ning Jiewei sensed a hint of irony and immediately felt displeased.
"What are you talking about? Third sister is very smart and resourceful, of course she noticed something was wrong!"
"What do you think? Do you think you are the smartest person in the world?"
Lin Mu shook his head repeatedly and looked up in panic.
"No, no, I have absolutely no such intention. I just have some confusion in my mind. Since you have noticed it, why did you take advantage of it?"
Ning Jiewei couldn't answer, so she had to put on a posture and act domineering.
"You are too nosy. My third sister has her own plans."
Lin Mu cooperated and responded.
"I blame you for asking too many questions. Please forgive me, Fourth Miss Ning."
Lin Mu didn't know that Ning Fengzhe had a plan before he left, until he remembered that Zhuang Wei said the words "your brother and sister" before he left, and his heart suddenly became clear.
Lord Ning’s plan is truly extraordinary and unparalleled!
How could he calculate each move so accurately when he was far away from the political situation? Each of us is a chessboard player in his game, but we are not aware of it.
I have never seen him so cunning before. Does this mean he still has some tricks up his sleeve?!
This plot is obviously to help the prince, and the emperor will not get any benefit.
Why didn't he show his talents to the fullest when he followed the emperor? Wasn't he... following the emperor sincerely from the beginning?
How is this possible?
Ning Jiewei took a few steps closer and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"What are you staring at? I'm telling you, I'm forgiving you with all my heart!"
Lin Mu responded perfunctorily.
"Thank you, Fourth Miss Ning."
Ning Jiewei was very proud and boasted about herself.
"My third sister and her family are not able to come here, fearing that Master Zhuang will feel embarrassed in front of the family and may rebel. Therefore, I volunteered to come here and save Master Gao from danger, even at the risk of my life."
Lin Mu forced a smile.
"Miss Ning Si is a man of great integrity and wisdom. I admire her very much."
Having fulfilled her dream of being a hero, Ning Jiewei was very satisfied and overjoyed.
"Master Lin, thank you for your praise."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Qiu Bi's muffled sound of agony from behind the bed curtains. Ning Jiewei felt the same way and immediately comforted her.
"Don't be sad, Mr. Gao. I beat the bad guys away and you are saved."
Lin Mu was filled with self-blame and explained the situation.
"She is not sad, but she was given medicine by Master Zhuang. I guess the effect of the medicine must have worn off by now."
Ning Jiewei suddenly understood and immediately made a suggestion.
"Just in time for you to be here, help her."
Lin Mu once again signaled with his eyes to remove the restraints on his body while replying.
"Well, you should treat it yourself."
Ning Jiewei was startled when she heard this.
"heal?"
She scratched her head, thought about it, and smiled.
"It's appropriate to call it medical treatment. I'm leaving now. I'll leave Master Gao to you."
Lin Mu was startled and called her to stop quickly, not caring about etiquette and making a direct request.
"Please help me untie Miss Ning."
Ning Jiewei realized it later and looked down.
"Huh? Why are you tied to the chair?"
Her eyes turned and she immediately understood, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"I know, it was Master Zhuang who tied him up, ha ha ha, why does he have such a hobby?"
Hearing such frivolous words, Lin Mu almost lost his patience and asked again.
"Please help me untie Miss Ning!"
Ning Jiewei glanced at him sideways, showing her impatience.
"Oh, I heard it. Why are you rushing me?"
With a reluctant look on her face, she walked behind him, untied him herself, and snorted coquettishly.
"Look at how impatient you are. Humph, you men are all the same."
Lin Mu did not respond to the frivolous words. Once he was a little more relaxed, he took the initiative to untie the ropes quickly.
He took two steps at a time and ran to Sister He, took out the Qingxin Pills he carried with him, and fed her one to temporarily suppress the effects of the medicine. Then, he took out the silver needle bag and gently acupunctured her, causing her to fall asleep peacefully.
He looked at her with a look of pity, picked up his sleeve and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Don't be afraid, sister He. I'm here to save you."
Ning Jiewei smiled secretly after hearing this.
"Then you save me, I'm leaving."
Lin Mu looked back and asked with a smile.
"Miss Ning, is there something urgent?"
Ning Jiewei answered slowly.
"It's alright."
Lin Mu continued to ask.
"Are you feeling sleepy?"
Ning Jiewei was in high spirits.
"My third sister told me to go to bed early."
Lin Mu is polite and well-mannered.
"Then please stay and help me a little, is that okay?"
Ning Jiewei pointed at herself with a look of surprise on her face.
"Ah I?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
Ning Jiewei suddenly became shy. She held her cheeks with both hands and twisted her body. Her seductiveness was self-evident.
"You are a very bad person. You pretended to be indifferent in Prince Chen's Mansion before, but now you come to seduce me. You are thinking about me when you are preparing the antidote for Lord Gao. Why do you like me so much?"
There was a hint of seriousness in her charming expression, and she refused seriously.
"I'm afraid not. I'm about to marry Master Xu."
Lin Mu was stunned as if struck by lightning, and his face turned pale instantly.
"No, no, no, Fourth Miss Ning misunderstood!"
Ning Jiewei frowned, feeling very annoyed.
"How come there is another misunderstanding? In Prince Chen's Mansion, I heard you talking about misunderstandings, misunderstandings, how can there be so many misunderstandings?"
"Could it be that what you want in your mind is for me to be your maid and wait on you before you go to bed?"
Lin Mu held his forehead helplessly and sighed bitterly.
"Alas, no."
He did not pause, did not leave any room for conversation, and went straight to the point, making his point clear.
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring my medicine box. I'll trouble you to ask a guard to find a nearby clinic or pharmacy to get some medicine for me."
Ning Jiewei was completely stunned.
"Get medicine?!"
"Given this opportunity, you actually thought of developing an antidote to save Mr. Gao?"
Lin Mu nodded.
"Yes."
Ning Jiewei looked puzzled and reminded him immediately.
"Are you sick and confused? Aren't you the antidote?"
Lin Mu was helpless.
here we go again……
He is serious and rigorous, and explains the facts.
"How can you take advantage of someone's misfortune?"
Ning Jiewei was deeply dissatisfied with such behavior and refused without hesitation.
"I won't help you with this. You have to figure it out yourself."
Lin Mu followed her words and changed his mind.
"If I go to find medicine by myself and leave her here alone, she might be in danger. Please stay and take care of her."
Ning Jiewei became anxious and couldn't help complaining.
"You! Why are you so ignorant?"
Lin Mu smiled and said something coaxing.
"Thank you for your help, young lady. I am very grateful for your help."
Ning Jiewei was not pleased and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Then you can think of a prescription. When you have one, I will ask the hidden guard to go get the medicine."
Lin Mu just laughed it off, not caring about the details of his expression.
"Thank you girl."
