When Shen Ningning heard that Mo Lingwei had been poisoned, the color drained from her little face.
She didn't even stop to consider what this had to do with her. She immediately held out her little hand. "Let's go. We have to hurry."
Just then, an imperial guard behind Commander Lu approached with a rope, intending to tie the little girl up.
With swift reflexes, Lu Shaoyuan grabbed Shen Ningning's wrist and pulled her behind him.
"Shao Yuan!" Commander Lu bellowed. "Do not obstruct official business."
Lu Shaoyuan frowned. "Brother, explain yourself. What does the Crown Prince's poisoning have to do with Shen Ningning? Why does she need to be brought in for questioning?"
'If the Crown Prince was harmed because of her, knowing the Emperor's temperament, he'd never let Shen Ningning off.'
Commander Lu pursed his lips and said gravely, "Miss Shen, are you in business with a medicine shop in the city, and do you frequently sell medicinal herbs to the shopkeeper?"
