In a dark corner of the abandoned yard, a pair of eyes shining with a strange light is silently watching Nangong Ning leisurely passing by.

Although he has no intention to rescue her, it is interesting for him to watch her doing self-rescue and putting her foot on the face of Jun Zixuan, which makes him feel how extraordinary the girl is!

Nangong Ning doesn't notice anything different. She walks around in the abandoned yard and finds the exit. However, when she comes to the street, she is lost.

After thinking for a while, she casually chooses a way to go forward.

Soon she is out of the lane and into a wide street.

Looking around, she decides to ask someone the way to get to the Regent's Mansion.

Since it is impossible for her to go back to find Mr. Zong,she decides to return to the Regent’s Mansion first, and then to have Mr. Zong rescued.

As she is thinking, a noise comes into her ears, and she turns her eyes to find a carriage coming.

Though the street is wide, there are no pedestrians to be seen exceptthe carriage.

Therefore, Nangong Ning rushes directly toward the carriage.

The coachman stops the carriage and stares at Nangong Ning angrily.

As the saying goes, “No one slaps the person who smiles at you,” Nangong Ning hurriedly wears a smile on her face and says, "Excuse me, I just want to ask a way."

The coachman is stunned.

A beautiful girl suddenly rushes on the street only to ask a way?

At this time, a clear female voice comes from the carriage, "Old Man Zhao, our young lady askedyou, what is going on outside?"

NangongNing is happy to know that it is a female voice coming from the carriage, for a girl must be inside and would be easy to talk to.

The coachman respectfully replies, "It's a girl. She wants to ask a way."

At this time, the curtain is lifted from the inside, Nangong Ning looks up, but before she could see the people inside, the curtain is lowered.

"Where are you going?" A female voice comes out of the carriage, which is different from the clear voice before. Maybe it is the young lady, whose voice sounds a little indifferent.

Nangong Ning, of course, would not mind. She says politely, "Excuse me, would you please tell me how to get to the Regent's Mansion from here?"

"You're going to the Regent's Mansion?" The voice inside is obviously a little restrained with surprise.

Nangong Ning’s heart skips a beat. She forgets that Jun Qianye has an extraordinary position in the State of Dongli. Anyone who hears her question asked in such a way will be surprised.

But she doesn’t want to explain, for it is hard for her to explain clearly.

"Yes, can you tell me how?"

"Coincidentally, I'm going to the Regent's Mansion, too. Get on the carriage, please," says the female vocalinside.


Nangong Ning is surprised.

How can it be so coincident!

The memory and information that the original Nangong Ning left to her are not very much about Jun Qianye, but she does know that Jun Qianye does not seem to be fond of women all the time. How is it possible for a young girl to go to his Mansion?

Nangong Ning hesitates in action when she feels suspicious in mind.

Just then the curtain is lifted, a beautiful face appears and she says to her, "Nangong Ning, don’t you come on?"

Nangong Ning is stunned and her suspicion increases.

Looking at the beautiful face, she searches in her mind, "Miss An?" She says in a puzzled voice.

"What? Don't know me? " An Suying looks at Nangong Ning with her eyebrows raised, and there is a trace of unfriendly light in her eyes.

Nangong Ning certainly can't say that. The original NangongNing is also a noble daughter born in the capital. Although she has no father or mother, she certainly knows the girl in front of her, An Suying, the daughter of the prime minister.

In her memory, Nangong Ning has no hatred with An Suying, but this An Suying is clearly hostile to her.

With deep hatred!

“Thanks, but I’d like to go back on my own if you show me the way,” says Nangong Ningsubconsciously.

An Suying smiles and says, "But I don't want to tell you."

"Then I'll ask someone else. Sorry to trouble you," says Nangong Ning. She turns and leaves.

The smile on An Suying's face freezes and she is stunned.

She does not expect that Nangong Ning reacts in such a way.

She couldn't help screaming, "Nangong Ning, don't have the dream to marry the Regent!”

Nangong Ning's back stiffens, but her step does not stop, she walks faster.

She guesses that An Suying might be angrier.

Sure enough, behind, An Suying is so angry that she gnashes her teeth and says," Go and get the news out!"

Nangong Ning walks while curses.

She curses Jun Qianye.

She now understands that being bestowed by the Emperor on Jun Qianye in marriage is no good for her at all.

First, Jun Zixuan mentioned Jun Qianye in the case of the hijack. It is clear that he feels humiliated by her being bestowed by the Emperor on Jun Qianye in marriage. That is why her carriage was hijacked.

Second, An Suying is so hostile to Nangong Ning clearly due to her being bestowed on Jun Qianye in marriage.

The hostility comes from nowhere to her!

She looks up and forward, having no desire to ask the way, for fear further hostility may come up.

She could take time to look for the way back.

Maybe it is a good idea to go back to the Nangong Mansion?

Thinking of this, Nangong adjusts her direction. The Nangong Mansion is located in the east of the city, so she goes to the East.

Although she wasa master in poison in her previous life, her physical quality wasalso good, but not now.

This body of the original Nangong Ning is not very good.

She is so tired that she steps aside and leans against a wall to take a rest.

She has just a few minutes’ rest before she suddenly feels a heat on her right wrist. She subconsciously looks at the poison-detecting bracelet on her wrist.

Now the color of the bracelet becomes translucent.

Poison?

It's not the poison she has on her, but there is a poison approaching her!

Nangong Ning has always been very sensitive to poison. She is running toward a direction she chooses.

"Whiz..."

A light whistling sound breaks through the sky. Nangong’s action is not faster than her brain, so she has to throw herself down on the ground and rolls over.

"Thud!" Nangong Ning, lying on the ground, sees the place beside her is inserted a mini-arrow.

She mutters a curse, rises up, looks around and runs directly towards an alley.

As soon as she turns into the alley, she hears several crackles behind her.

Nangong Ning curses at heart, and dodges in embarrassment. Due to the information she gets from her bracelet, she is able to dodge but in embarrassment.

One of her shoes is lost.

With one bare foot, she could not run fast, which makes her in an awkward situation.

Finally, she simply kicks the other shoe off.

She is running desperately forward with her skirt lifted.

Although she doesn’t see anyone, she could guess that there must be more than one person chasing her behind. That is why she is running into a narrow alley, for it is not good for more people to fight in a narrow place, and maybe she would have a chance to escape and hide herself somewhere.

But the reality is cruel.

Along the way, it is hard for her to have a chance to hide herself and the pursuers are relentless.

She hears footsteps coming towards her on the walls on both sides of the alley.

They must be the practitioners of Qinggong (Qinggong is one of the martial arts, the practitioners of which have the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls and mounting trees)!

What's more, Nangong is dumbfounded when she looks up. At the end of the alley is a wall which is a few dozen steps away from her, so she runs into a dead end.

She comes to a stop suddenly and is about to turn around when she hears footsteps from behind approaching.

There is no way forward, no way back.

There are footsteps on the walls. How can she escape?

With the noise ofa hullabaloo,several figures jumps downfrom the walls on either side, and the footsteps behind come to a stop about a meter or two from her.

Nangong Ning closes her eyes fiercely, and opens them again. She turns around and stares at the people around her, asking angrily, "Who are you? I am the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, and the fiancée of the Regent, Jun Qianye!"

However, the masked men in black surrounding her do not respond at all.

Nangong Ning is confused.

At first, she thought they were followers of Jun Zixuan, who had regained his consciousness, and they were to capture her, but now it seems they are not.

They belong to somebody else.

But what is the matter?

After she comes out today, first she met Jun Zixuan, and then the marked men in black. How many enemies does she have?

There are about ten masked men surrounding her. Though Nangong Ning has poisons on her, she cannot use them in such a situation. In the end, she faints due to a heavy slap, and she is carried away by one of the masked men.

The masked man in black carries Nangong Ning on his back walking on roofs of houses. Finally, he arrives on the roof of a gorgeous and luxurious house, then rolls over from the window into a beautifully decorated room and throws Nangong Ning onto a splendid bed.

Then he takes out a small porcelain bottle, opens it, squeezes Nangong Ning's chin, and pours the contents into her mouth.

The masked man does not stop squeezing her chin until he sees Nangong Ning swallow. Then, he casually pulls some things to cover her. Hearing the sound coming from outside, he quickly goes out of the room through the window and disappears.

As soon as the window is closed, Nangong Ning, who was in a coma, sits up suddenly. Without first trying to find our where she is, she begins to vomit on the bedside.

She didn’t actually swallow the contents of the bottle.

Without testing by her bracelet, she knows for sure that what is in the bottle is philter.

Who on earth hates her so much?

The one doing it is more vicious than Jun Zixuan!

After vomiting, Nangong Ning jumps down from the bed and goes to look for water and rinseher mouth. This philter is very strong, and maybe the strongest of its kind.

She finds a pot and, without noticing what it is inside, she just pours its content into her mouth.

"Cough!” 

It's liquor inside! Nangong Ning is choked by the liquor so hard that tears come down from her eyes.

And what’s more, she swallows several mouthfuls in haste.

She used to drink very little in her previous life. If she took a sip, her face would turn red.

Now her health is not so good, and she is choked very hard.

Nangong Ning wants to spit out again, but at this time, she suddenly hears a "click" and the door is pushed open.

Then there is a lewd laugh, "My little beauty, here comes the Lord! Come and let me love you!”

The voice makes Nangong Ning’sscalp tingle. She looks up and sees a fat, oily, middle-aged man with a large head and big ears smiling to her lewdly.
