Chapter 249 Just an idler
"How can it be the same?"
Su Nuan had absolute confidence in her taste buds, and her judgment could not be wrong. In other words, the problem was with the pot of wine, which someone had just replaced.
Su Nuan turned her gaze to the guard kneeling on the ground.
Mu Yunting noticed Su Nuan's expression and understood what she meant. He said to the guard in a deep voice, "Who touched that pot of wine?"
"I don't know. When I went to get the wine, no one was at the table."
Beads of sweat rolled down the guard's forehead.
Mu Yunting asked someone to take the guard away, and he quickly walked out of the tent.
Only Liao Xinyi and Su Nuan were left in the tent.
The two looked at each other.
"Should I call you 'Concubine Xia'?"
Liao Xinyi asked calmly.
Are you blaming me for hiding my identity? Su Nuan quickly took Liao Xinyi's hand and replied, "I prefer you to call me Miss Su. Although it's a fake identity, it's infused with real feelings. It's not like this 'Concubine Xia', which is embarrassing and dangerous. I don't like this title at all."
Liao Xinyi was a smart person. She heard the helplessness in Su Nuan's words, so she said, "Then I'll still call you Miss Su when no one is around."
"Miss Su sounds unfamiliar. You can call me Su Nuan when no one is around."
"This is?"
"This is what I use to make my way around the world. It's another name of mine."
"Okay, then I'll call you Su Nuan."
This name is very similar to the person. In Liao Xinyi's opinion, Su Nuan is a warm person.
Liao Xinyi knew that she was aloof and unpopular, and that the people who made friends with her were all attracted by her medical skills. But the person in front of her was different; he really liked her and treated her as a friend.
"You've been injured three times in just a few days in Xiaomian County. I think you don't fit in with this place. You should return to the Imperial City as soon as possible."
"I think so too, but Your Highness has some unfinished business in Xiaomian County, so I can't leave yet."
"Then you should be careful. If you have any problems, send someone to find me. Of course, I hope you only want to chat and have a meal with me, not to treat your injuries."
"Xinyi, come with me. I'll open a clinic for you in the Imperial City, okay?"
This is the first friend Su Nuan made after she traveled through time. She hopes that this person can be closer to her.
"The Imperial City is full of talented people and it's hard for me to gain a foothold there. Besides, there are many patients in Xiaomian County waiting for my treatment. I don't want to leave. But I will go to the Imperial City in two months and I can visit you then."
"Okay. Let me do my best to be a good host then."
As the two were talking, Mu Yunting came back. He saw Su Nuan holding Liao Xinyi's hand and raised his eyebrows unconsciously.
Liao Xinyi was keenly aware of Mu Yunting's condition, pulled her hand away, and said to Su Nuan calmly, "The injury on your hand won't be serious, just take care of it. If anything happens, send someone to call me."
After saying that, he nodded slightly at Mu Yunting and walked out.
"Your Highness, do you have any clues?"
"The person who changed the wine was Mei Runian."
Su Nuan didn't expect that he went out to investigate the matter, and she didn't expect that his efficiency would be so high.
"He brought the wine, so it's reasonable for him to change it."
Mu Yunting frowned and said, "It's just that he refused to say why he did this."
Su Nuan vaguely guessed the reason, "Your Highness, why don't you let Lord Mei ask him this question."
It's ridiculous that Mei Changli acted as if he was facing a powerful enemy in order to protect the safety of the Crown Prince and Concubine Xia, but in the end, his own son became a knife in the hands of others.
"Mei Changli said that you can prove that Mei Runian was wrongly accused. Why is that?"
Su Nuan thought about it and told her about Mei Changli asking her to cooperate with him in guarding against Prince Guang'an.
After hearing this, Mu Yunting frowned and remained silent.
After a long while, he said, "Do you believe what Mei Changli said?"
Su Nuan was a little confused. Did he not believe that Prince Guang'an would attack him?
Is it true, as Mei Changli said, that Mu Yunting has a deep relationship with Prince Guang'an and is unwilling to believe that Prince Guang'an has any rebellious intentions?
"Your Highness, don't you believe in Mei Changli?"
"It is possible that he is the one crying thief."
"It is possible, but why would he do this? I have no grudge against him, why would he want to harm me?"
"This is also what I can't figure out, so I want to ask you, has anything special happened during the time I was away?"
"Your Highness wants to ask me if I have ever offended anyone, right?"
Su Nuan's face turned cold.
Mu Yunting touched his nose uncomfortably. You can't blame him for thinking this way. After all, this is Xia Qingyan, who is first-rate at causing trouble.
"Thank you for thinking highly of me, Your Highness. I was injured and nearly dead, so how could I dare to provoke others?"
Seeing that Su Nuan was a little unhappy, Mu Yunting quickly explained: "I just have no clue--"
"I do have a clue." Su Nuan interrupted him, "But there is one thing I don't understand. I hope Your Highness can help me solve it first."
"You said."
"What does your Highness think of Prince Guang'an?"
"He's just an idler."
From what Mu Yunting said, Su Nuan knew his attitude towards Prince Guang'an, and felt sorry for Mei Changli.
"The person who tampered with the wine might be the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Zhiqiu."
"Is it her? How could it be her?"
"I'm not sure, but if I were to say who hates me among those present today, she is the only one I can think of."
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Yunting asked with some curiosity.
Su Nuan rolled her eyes at him and said slowly, "I didn't do anything to her. It's just that I ruined the marriage between the Crown Prince and my sister, and helped with my sister's marriage to the Prince of Yongping, so I offended Miss Yu."
"Does she have a grudge against Xia Qingyao? Are they familiar with each other?"
Mu Yunting asked.
Su Nuan was speechless. This Crown Prince was really good in every way except that he was slow to react when it came to matters between men and women.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought that Miss Yu is attracted to Prince Yongping?"
Mu Yunting suddenly realized something. "It turns out that Yunshu was the one who caused this. But if Yu Zhiqiu did it, why did Mei Runian go to exchange your wine? Is Mei Runian in love with Yu Zhiqiu?"
Finally, everything was back to normal, and Su Nuan nodded with a little relief.
"If that's the case, I'll have a way to get Mei Runian to speak."
Mu Yunting showed a look of delight, and strode out after he finished speaking.
Su Nuan was curious about what method he was going to use, but she didn't want to reveal the fact that her leg injury was almost healed. After struggling for a while, curiosity finally overcame everything.
She stepped out of bed and was about to go out when she heard the guards outside shouting, "Your Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to approach Concubine Xia."
what's going on?
Su Nuan walked quickly to the door and looked out through the gap, and saw two guards stopping Mei Changli with knives, preventing him from coming in.
