Soon Wenren Yao regrets his own "generosity" a little bit. Nangong Ning is more "terrible" than he imagined.

She not only very accurately selects the top ten of the one hundred and eight kinds of poisons, but she takes it for granted, saying "These things are good, but the quantity is too small. You can store more in the future."

Wenren Yao is stunned.

This young lady, do you think these top quality things are like those Chinese cabbages, the more you want, the more you can find on the street? Wenren Yao thinks in his mind.

Nangong Ning is satisfied no matter what mood Wenren Yao has.She was a poison master in her previous life and dealt with poisons in her everyday.Her former master said that she was born for poisons. Other people may use poisons for profit or harm others, but poisons in her hands will have a more magical effect.

With these poisons in the hand, she feels that her restless mood becomes better now.

Wenren Yao shows the way for Nangong Ning to go out of the building, for she could not find the way out though she wanted to go herself. It is clear that they were in the room behind the Shennong Hall, but she feels as if they were in another world.

On their way walking out, Wenren Yao explains with a smile curling up at the corners of his mouth,"I have a mechanism here, but ordinary people can't see it. You can find something wrong here, which shows that you are beyond the ordinary. It seems that Miss Nangong is different from the hearsay."

"What's different?" Nangong Ning is now confident. Anyway, she is Nangong Ning. No one can deny that she has the phoenix bracelet on her wrist.

With a honest look in his peach blossom eyes,Wenren Yao says seriously, "Your face is much prettier than I imagined, and your temperament is more special than I thought."

Nangong Ning blinks her eyes, and looks at the toxic man on her side calmly. She suddenly has an idea that this is a good chance for her to collect information, so she asks, “That is what you imagined and what you thought. What about the hearsay?”

Wenren Yao perceives the crafty look in her eyes at once, but he still enlarges his topic and says, “In fact, there is no much of the hearsay, which makes people feel different.”

Nangong Ning nods with satisfaction.

There is no much of the hearsay, that is to say, she has been rather low-key?

Being low-key may be a good thing for her. At least, there is no such nickname as “good-for-nothing” for her.

Although the main reason that that Wenren Yao treats her specially is that she is Nangong Ning, rather than the Regent's fiancée, she still think that now she has been bestowed by the

Emperor on the Regent in marriage, she had better keep a low profile.

While lost in thought, she hears Wenren Yao says, "Here we are."

Nangong Ning looks around and finds that she has returned tothe courtyard where there is a house in the middle.


"Now you can find your way back.”

With these words, he disappears. Nangong Ning murmurs and goes into the house.

Mr. Zong is still there sleeping with his head down on the table.

Nangong Ning twists her eyebrows.

Mr. Su comes over, saying, “There is a poison called ‘dreaming’ in this tea. It is harmless, but the one who takes it will fall asleep at once.”

Nangong Ning nods to Mr. Su, indicating that he could leave them alone.

After Mr. Su goes out. Nangong Ning sits down at the table opposite to Mr. Zong. She takes a look at Mr. Zong, then stretches out her hand and slaps him hard.

"slap!"

"Ah? !" Mr. Zong wakes up from his dream all of a sudden. His fat body trembles a little, then he stares in horror at Nangong Ning, and asks in a frightened voice, "What, what’s the matter?"

Nangong Ning picks up the cup that was changed into ordinary tea, sips it lightly, and says, "What's the matter? You got drunk by drinking a cup of tea, and fell asleep? I really admire you!

"What?" Mr. Zong is flabbergasted and it takes a quite while before he asks, "I, did I fall asleep?"

Nangong Ning spreads her hands out.

"What do you think?"

Mr. Zong doesn’t seem to believe it. With his eyes fixing on the teacup, he mumbles, “It’s incredible. Doesn’t drinking tea have the function of refreshment?

"It may be because you haven’t drunk such kind of good tea before, so that you are not used to it.” Nangong Ning spouts off.

"Don't assume me to be an ignorant old man,” murmurs Mr. Zong, “I am from the Regent’s Mansion. What kind of good tea haven't I drunk?"

"Then I don't know." Nangong spreads her hands out again.

Anyway, Mr. Su says that the tea just now is harmless to the body, and Mr. Zong could not perceive anything even though he is in doubt.

Mr. Zong stares at Nangong Ning suspiciously, only to see her disgusted look on her face. In the end Mr. Zong begins to doubt himself, and then it is over.

After drinking the tea, Mr. Su takes out some top quality herbs, Nangong Ning picks some and Mr. Zong also chooses some. After a big discount from Mr. Su,Mr. Zong is so happy that he does not remember his doubt about his sleep there at all.

Out of the Shennong Hall, Mr. Zong happily pulls Nangong Ning into the carriage.

"It seems that I'll have to go together with Miss Nangong to the Shennong Hall from now on. Mr. Su has never shown me such good quality herbs before, not to mention at such a discount. It is really a good deal.

Nangong Ning looks at him suspiciously and asks, "Are you really from the Regent Mansion?"

"Is there any doubt about this?" Mr. Zong is very happy, doesn't mind at all, just looks at the good herbs he just got.

Nangong Ning says she does doubt about this.

The carriage goes smoothly. They are returning to the Regent's Mansion, but Nangong Ning doesn't really want to go back.

However, she doesn't think she has any freedom now. She has a lot of things to explain to Jun Qianye.

Although she has not known the Regent for long, she is sure that Qun Qianye is not a "generous" person.

Just as she is thinking, the carriage suddenly stops. She could not help leaning forward. Fortunately, she holds on to the side of the carriage so as not to fall down.

But Mr. Zong on the opposite side is not so lucky. He bangs his head against the side of the carriage and almost rolls out of it.

Fortunately, Nangong Ning catches hold of him.

"Fat old man, I advised you to reduce your weight. As a doctor, is it appropriate for you to be so fat?"

Mr. Zong is so angry that his fat face turns red and he scolds loudly, "Son of a bitch, how did you drive the car?"

There is no answer outside.

Nangong Ning suddenly understands that something is wrong. Before she has time to remind Mr. Zong, a round object, the size of a pearl,is flying in from outside.

Before Nangong Ning could say a word, the pearl-like-thing explodes with a “bang”, and then a thick blue smoke spreads out, and a strange smell fills the carriage.

"Thud!" Mr. Zong falls down at once.

Then another thud, Nangong Ning also falls down.

A moment later, in a deserted alley, a figure with a strip object on his back jumps out from a parked carriage, and then runs all the way like a flying bird, and then, he comes to an abandoned yard.

"My Lord, here we are."

The man puts the strip object on his back down. Inside is Nangong Ning, who is in a coma.

From behind a broken wall comes out a man.

He wears a mask on his face, and only a pair of eyes with an indifferent look can be seen. He looks downat Nangong Ning lying there. There is a strange light in his eyes.

Nangong Ning?"

The man who brought Nangong Ning here nods, "Yes, it's Miss Nangong, no mistake."

"She is actually..." The masked man thinks for a moment. He doesn't know how to describe her. He only feels that although her eyes are closed, Nangong Ning gives a sense of surprise.

It is not that he had not seen her before, but that he did not notice that her face is so beautiful.

The masked man stares for a moment, then he waves his hand, saying, "You go back.Be careful not to be seen."

"Yes!" The man bows and disappears instantly.

The masked man crouches down.

"Nangong Ning, do you know how hateful you are? You think you can humiliate me by leaning on Jun Qianye? I tell you, if I kill you today, Jun Qianye will not feel sorry for you."

With his words, he is about to put his hands around her neck.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly feels a stab in his fingertip, then he rolls his eyes and falls down with a thud.

Nangong Ning sits up slowly and looks at the marked man.

"Your highness, since both of us hate each other so much, is it necessary for you to wear a mask? Do you think I can’t recognize your voice?"

Jun Zixuan, the crown prince, lies there without the ability to move his arms or legs, but he still has consciousness. He can do nothing but glares at Nangong Ning furiously.

Nangong stretches out to removehis mask, but finally stops.

"I think your Highness's face expression is not very good. I'd better not look for abuse."

The eyes of Jun Zixuan under the mask blink eagerly.

"Want to know why?"

Nangong Ning chuckles. With the corners of her mouth lifted, her pretty face shines brightly. She says, “That is because your memory is not good. Did you remember how I transferred the guards you ordered to keep eyes on me, beat the Xuanwu drum and entered the Royal Palace?”

The eyes of Jun Zixuan blink again. It's clear that his brain is running actively, but he could not speak out, so he is very furious.

Nangong Ning snorts and raises her fingertip. A silver needle flashes on it.

She is a master in using poison. How stupid is Jun Zixuan to use poison smoke to deal with her?

She found out his trick at that time, so she did not get poisoned. She took an acupuncture needle from Mr.Zong and quickly concocted a poison with the things she got from Wenren Yao.

She was very curious about who could be so foolish and bold to scheme Mr. Zong and her together.

Sure enough, only foolish people could use such stupid means.

"Your Highness, I’ll tell yo I never rely on others. You think I will rely on the Regent to survive and hope others to look down on me. That is just your own thought.

Jun Zixuan’s eyes blink again, but soon, he closes his eyes unwillingly.

Nangong Ning takes back the needle, then decisively takes off the mask from Jun Zixuan's face, throws it directly into a dry well not far away, then looks at him, and finally decisively starts to take off Jun Zixuan's belt and throws it into the well, too.

She rises up and is about to leave. But on the second thought, Nangong Ning turns back and goes up to Jun Zixuan. She lifts her foot decisively and steps on his handsome face whose eyes are closed. She looks at the clear muddy footprints on his face with satisfaction. A smile curling up at the corners of her mouth, she turns away with satisfaction.
