Chapter 1385: Chapter 1402: Nangong Yaoling Suddenly Appears

Nangong Yaoling took a sip of wine and placed his legs on the coffee table.

"Think carefully again, has she met anyone, or shown any unusual behavior after returning home?"

The housekeeper froze, momentarily uneasy, struggling to recall.

"Young Master... I, I really can’t remember. Ever since the miscarriage, the young mistress seemed focused on recovering and hasn’t acted oddly... Oh, right, the young mistress once went to the hospital to get some Chinese medicine herself."

Nangong Yaoling was slightly taken aback, his pupils constricted momentarily.

"She went to get the medicine herself? When did this happen?"

"Hmm... It was about a month ago... However, the young mistress seemed not to have taken much of the medicine. I once asked her if she wanted me to prepare it, and she said she didn’t feel like drinking it yet... wanted to wait a while."

Nangong Yaoling’s jaw tightened: "Where’s the medicine? Go fetch it."

"Ah... okay, the medicine is in the kitchen, I’ll get it right away!"

The housekeeper spoke, quickly retrieved a bag from the kitchen, and respectfully placed it in front of Nangong Yaoling.

Nangong Yaoling reached out, opening the bag.

A strong, bitter scent of Chinese medicine instantly assaulted the senses.

Nangong Yaoling’s well-defined eyebrows furrowed, reaching into the bag, extracting a small packet of Chinese medicine.

The medicine was wrapped in hard yellow paper; some residue seeped through the crevices, falling into Nangong Yaoling’s palm.

He looked at the paper and opened it.

Inside were various brown supplements, and his gaze finally landed on the edge of the hard paper.

The bottom corner of the paper indeed bore the name of a Chinese medical clinic.

"Tang’s Chinese Medicine..."

Nangong Yaoling’s eyes faintly brightened.

He lifted his eyes, handing the packet to the housekeeper.

"Go find someone to investigate the address of this clinic."

Housekeeper Li glanced at the name, and quickly responded, "Yes, Young Master, I’ll have someone handle it right away!"

Nangong Yaoling looked at the packet of medicine before him, exhaling slightly.

Xiaonuan’s scene today was set in the royal palace, where her final conspiracy is revealed, leading her to be imprisoned and forced to commit suicide.

Of course, the one forcing her is Yang Zi’er.

She’s the lead actress of the show, whereas Xiaonuan is just the secondary.

This was Xiaonuan’s final scene.

In the end, Yang Zi’er donned a phoenix crown, offering her a cup of wine in the Heavenly Prison.

Then she shattered the wine cup, making her cut her wrist with the shards.

However, during rehearsals, even when Mingming just needed to throw the cup on the ground, Yang Zi’er deliberately made it difficult by not coordinating, and her expressions faltered at crucial moments.

Director Jin Zhengyuan continuously called for a stop, asking her to get into the right state.

Finally, Yang Zi’er suddenly hurled the cup forcefully towards Xiaonuan’s direction.

This time, the momentum was right, yet Xiaonuan, sitting nearby, was struck on the neck by flying fragments.

She winced slightly in pain, but chose not to speak up to finish the scene smoothly.

Since the camera was to her left, it couldn’t capture her neck.

"Cut—!" As the scene concluded, the director finally called out in satisfaction.

He stood and said, "Great! Xiaonuan, your expression was spot on!"

Yet, Xiaonuan suddenly slumped, placing a hand on her neck.

An actor let out a sharp scream.
