Before Mr. Zong could answer, there is another shrill cry coming out of the room. With his face changed, Weichu is about to enter the room, only to be stopped by Mr. Zong.

"Why are you stopping me, Mr. Zong?"

Mr. Zong is tugging at Wechu’s sleeve, saying in a low voice, "Weichu, do you think our Lord will need your help when facing with a girl? What else can you do if you go inside?”

Weichu is stunned, and then he suddenly remembers that Jun Qianye once said that the business between Nangong Ning and him was always between her and him, which had nothing to do with others.

He shakes off Mr. Zong's hand. The look on his face changes and he orders, "No one is allowed to go in to disturb the Lord.”

When the order is issued, it does not take long before everyone in the Mansion knows that the Regent is having an affair with Miss Nangong in his study.

The news is spread from one person to another, and everyone in the Mansion learns that they would probably have a hostess soon with both Jun Qianye and Nangong Ning being kept in the dark.

However, at this time in the study, Nangong Ning’s life is on the line.

She has a feeling that she would soon turn into a ghost instead of a hostess.

Jun Qianye may really want to strangle her, for no matter how hard she struggles, his hands keep firm around her neck like iron pincers.

Jun Qianye is looking at Nangong Ning’s slightly dilated pupils coldly without showing any feelings on his face.

Suddenly he feels a stab of pain in his waist.

Jun Qianye looks down with a surprise, and sees a silver needle stabbed at his waist with the other end pinched by the trembling fingers of Nangong Ning.

He looks at Nangong Ning with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Now there is some confusion in her mind and she almost loses consciousness, but she curls her lip to form a smile that at the moment seems odd.

Jun Qianye suddenly loosens his grip and lets her go, which makes Nangong Ning suddenly lose her balance and she falls directly backward with the back of her head towards the ground. Dizziness comes over her head and she feels like she is going to have a concussion.

However, the next moment, her falling body suddenly comes to a stop and she struggles to open her eyes, only to see a pair of dark eyes, close to her own, as if she were looking at bright stars in the sky, which makes her have a feeling of intoxication.

Jun Qianye unexpectedly catches her falling body, and she feels relieved at once.

“Regent, you …”

"Nangong Ning!" The stars instantly disappear as soon as Jun Qinaye opens his mouth, and what is left is only the coldness of his eyes, which makes Nangong Ning come to her senses all at once.

"Regent, the needle is poisonous."

An angry look flashes across Jun Qianye’s face, for he certainly knows that the needle is poisonous. Otherwise, he would not have loosened his grip.


"Do you want to be dead sooner?”

But she responds only with a smile, which is hardly better than a cry, for it is a very ugly smile.

"You do not mean to kill me, do you?"

"What did you say?” Jun Qianye’s eyes are burning with anger.

There is a queer look in her eyes, and she says in a strange voice, “If you really want me to be dead, you can kill me instantly. But in fact, you do not …ahem …”

She suddenly coughs before she finishes her speaking, and a spurt of black blood spews out, splashing on his clothes before his chest.

He looks down slowly at his clothes, and then turns his eyes to Nangong Ning.

"Nangong Ning..."

“Regent, the toxin in my body breaks out,” says Nangong Ning with difficulty, blood coming out from the corners of her mouth, which looks terrifying.

Jun Qianye is stunned.

Jun Qianye realizes that she just transferred the toxin from his body into her own, and the silver needle is the one Mr. Zong used to suppress the toxin in her body from breaking out. But she pulled the needle out and stabbed it in his waist, which triggers the outbreak of the toxin in her body.

“Nangong Ning, you want to use this trick to escape from being punished, don’t you?”

With blood coming from her mouth, Nangong Ning continues with a forced smile on her face, “If you are to kill me now, you will be regarded as the one who would like to take advantage of my perilous situation, won’t … you?”

On hearing that, Jun Qianye’s eyes turn darker, as if a dark storm were spinning up.

There is nothing that this damned woman dare not do.

"You know it very well that even if I do not kill you now, you are doomed to be dead."

“But if I am dead, you’ll take the blame, too,” says Nangong Ning, who now has a feeling that she would soon die if the toxin in her body is not to be detoxified at once.

Looking at her small pale face, Jun Qianye has never felt so conflicted.

He wants to slap her to death, but he vaguely feels that he cannot do it.

He has never felt that way before.

He is always decisive, and has never hesitated in his decision as to whether to kill or not, but today is an exception.

This feeling is fresh, which annoys him, but it does influence his decision.

Mr. Zong and Weichu are both waiting outside the study, none of whom wants to leave, for each of them has someone to worry about.

However, one is worrying about Nangong Ning and the other about Jun Qianye.

Just as they are too anxious to wait any longer, but could do nothing, footsteps from the room are approaching. They both look up, only to be frozen by what they see.

Out come Jun Qianye and Nangong Ning.

But instead of walking out side by side, Jun Qianye comes out with Nangong Ning in his arms.

Nangong Ning is slim and her black hair is long and hanging down. The picture that she huddles her body and face in the arms of Jun Qianye makes him look tall and mighty.

Seeing this, both Mr. Zong and Weichu involuntarily feel simultaneously that both of Jun Qianye and Nangong Ning make a good match.

Seeing that Mr. Zong and Weichu are stunned there, Jun Qianye says angrily wit a furry in his eyes, “Her toxin has broken out!”
