Proofread by Men Shunde

“What nonsense are you talking about?” A loud voice full of anger comes from behind and in comes Jun Zixuan, who gets the information and hastily enters the Hall when Nangong Ning is talking nonsense.

Without looking at Jun Zixuan, Nangong Ning, fixing her eyes on the Emperor, continues, “Your Majesty, the Crown Prince can be my witness, for when he found me, I was in the Regent’s Mansion.”

Jun Zixuan’s face turns black with anger when he hears her words. How dare the damned girl make him her witness in her nonsense!

“It is true that I went to my uncle the Regent’s Mansion to catch you back. But that is not enough for me to be your witness. You said you saved the Regent’s life. But even if the Regent was really poisoned and needed to be helped, how can you, a girl as you are without any talents, save the Regent’s life?” asks the Crown Prince with questions one after another, not giving Nangong Ning a chance to defend herself.

Nangong Ning turns her eyes and looks at Jun Zixuan, whose face is blue with anger. She raises her right hand and shows the phoenix bracelet on her wrist. She smiles sarcastically, saying, “Your Highness, you should not forget that I am the eldest daughter of the Nangong family and the owner of the phoenix bracelet. Don’t you know what functions the bracelet has?”

On hearing what Nangong Ning says, Jun Zixuan’s face turns awkward, for he really forgets the story about the phoenix bracelet. Though it is known to all that the phoenix bracelet is in the Nangong family, it is not always talked about.

"You mean you used the phoenix bracelet to …?"

Nodding her head, Nangong Ning says, “Yes, I did. The most amazing thing about the phoenix bracelet is that it can transfer the toxins. Although I am a girl with no talents, I have the phoenix bracelet with me. The Regent was poisoned by the hundred-variety-venomous insects, and it is only the phoenix bracelet that can help him detoxify the toxins.” She then turns to the Emperor, saying, “Your Majesty, it is because I went to save the life of the Regent that I missed the wedding with the Crown Prince. But the Crown Prince not only married my cousin Nangong Qingyao but he also wronged me and condemned me as deliberately insulting the Crown Prince and forced me to kneel at the gate of the Hall until the dawn comes. Since I have the toxin in my body transferred from the Regent’s body with the phoenix bracelet, I have to take the herb of the grass of the nether world within 4 hours to detoxify it. Otherwise, I will die due to the outbreak of the toxin. Therefore, I have no choice but to beat the Xuanwu Drum. Your Majesty has great perception!

With a cold and serious look in his eyes, the Emperor is looking at Nangong Ning.

“Is it true that my brother, the Regent, was poisoned by the hundred-variety-venomous insects?”asks the Emperor.


Nangong Ning nods her head with no compunction, for it is the truth. But she is still afraid. The fact that the Emperor doesn’t know that the Regent is poisoned reveals that the Regent himself

“Why no one informs me of that?” asks the Emperor with his eyes looking at Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zixuan steps forward in a haste, saying, “I am not informed of that, either. While I was visiting my uncle, the Regent, today, he looked fine.”

Nangong Ning adds hastily, “That is because I had already transferred the toxins from his body by my phoenix bracelet.”

Jun Zixuan feels something out of place and he inquires urgently, “It is known that when using the phoenix bracelet to transfer toxins, the transferred toxins will be received by the owner of the bracelet. Why are you fine?”

Nangong Ning replies, “I have been detoxifying my toxins ever since, and there is still a toxin in my body to be detoxified.” Turning to the Emperor, she continues, “I come here to beg Your Majesty to give me the grass of the nether world in order to …”

Emperor of Fengtian pounds the table with his fist with a loud “bang” and says angrily, “Damned it! Why no one tells me that my brother is poisoned? Nangong Ning, don’t you make up the story to save your life and talk nonsense here to cheat me?”

What a bad day it is to Nangong Ning!

What the hell is the Emperor thinking about?

She takes the risk of being guilty to Jun Qianye to tell the truth, which the Emperor doesn’t believe!

“Your Majesty, it is me …”

With a cold and sullen look on his face, Emperor of Fengtian waves his hand, saying, “Nangong Ning, you have escaped marriage, insulting the Royal family, which is a massive crime. And you also have beaten the Xuanwu Drum without appropriate reasons, which brings chaos to the city dwellers. You have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor and ignoring everybody else. Now I order that she is to be pulled out and given the poisoned wine!”

Nangong Ning really wants to curse the Emperor!

The poisoned wine is extremely poisonous. There is no way to detoxify the poison if one drinks the wine, for the toxin will break out very soon. The Emperor is indeed wanting her to die!

Why? She can't figure it out for the moment!

She is about to say something, but the royal guards have come and are about to take her out. She is thinking hard at the moment on whether she should rebel or not.

Just at the critical moment, a clear voice suddenly comes from behind which is cold and familiar to her.

“My royal brother, Your Majesty, is the girl making you angry? She is a kind of girl who is always inarticulate and stupid in thought.”

The cold tone of the voice is full of taunts and indifference, but to Nangong Ning it is like the most melodious music now, for the royal guards on her side all kneel down and say in one voice, “My Lord, Regent!”

Yes, it's Jun Qianye coming.

Dressed in a deep black brocade costume, with a cold and clear look in his eyes, he walks in, looking extremely handsome and dignified in his slow steps, full of extraordinary and aristocratic spirit from head to foot.

Jun Qianye comes at the critical moment, a moment of life and death! Nangong Ning’s eyes are brimming with tears to see him coming in, for she was about to be dragged out and given the the poison wine just now.

She lifts her eyes to look at Jun Qianye, but the latter ignores her. It is clear to her that he disdains her. He despises her.

However, Emperor of Fengtian is surprised to see Jun Qianye.

"My royal younger brother, why do you come here?"

Jun Qianye makes an obeisance to the Emperor by cupping one hand in the other before his chest, saying, “I come here for this girl.”

"Nangong Ning?" The Emperor is more astonished, wondering when the hell Jun Qianye knows the girl of the Nangong family?

The Emperor didn’t believe what Nangong Ning said just now, for he knows that Jun Qianye is never on intimate terms with the Nangong family. How is it possible for him to be closer to the girl, Nangong Ning, suddenly?
