Nangong Ning suddenly realizes that this is a brothel! What can she do?

What she swallows is strong philter, and she has no method to detoxify it now. How could she protect herself at this circumstance?

Suddenly she looks up and sees the lewd man coming towards her. She bites her own tongue hastily, and the pain as well as the blood rushing toward her brain barely make her stay awake.

"Darling, little beauty! You are so beautiful. When does Meixiang Brothel have such a beauty as you are here?” The lewd man sees the face of Nangong Ning as if a hungry cat meets a big fish. His saliva is dripping down his mouth.

Nangong Ning feels sick, takes a step back, grabs a snack plate on the table and knocks it at the edge of the table hard so that the plate is broken into two halves. She holds one half of it, and points the sharp end of it at the man, saying, “Don’t…, don’t come!”

"If I do not come over to you, how can I fondle you, my dear little beauty. I am very gentle. Don’t be afraid.”

The lewd man is not stopped by her words and action. Instead, he rubs his fat hands more excitedly, and rushes at Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning turns to run. But after just two steps, she feels that her footsteps are floating and her body is hot. She couldn't help shouting aloud.

She clenches her teeth firmly, forcing herself to stand there with the support of a screen on the side. She fetches a small bottle from her clothes. Regardless of what it is inside, she pours the liquid in the bottle into her mouth.

When the lewd man coming up, he sees Nangong Ning trembling with her hand clutching the screen. He thinks that she is afraid and dares not to run anymore. His excited face becomes red, and he reaches out to turn Nangong Ning around.

"Ah, ah, ah!”

His shrill screaming makes Nangong Ning tremble. Is she so terrible?

With his two eyes staring at Nangong Ning's face, the lewd man seems so scared at the moment that he almost pees in his pants.

What he just saw is clearly a little pretty girl whose face is so beautiful, but somehow her face turns into an ugly pig head when she turns around.

Now Nangong Ning's face looks really like a pig's head. Most of her face is swollen, her nose is bulging, red and white, which looks terrible and disgusting.

“Do you…, do you still want me?” Nangong Ning forces a smile.

But her smile, her smile is more terrible!

The lewd man screams, turning to run away!

Nangong Ning signs a relief, seeing the man run away. But instantly, she knows she is done.

She just casually opens a bottle which she takes from Wenren Yao and swallows a mouthful of it, which temporarily controls the philter in her body. But what she swallows is also a kind of poison which is so strong that she could not bear it for long and she has no way to detoxify it for the time being.


She stands up with difficulty, and stumbles out. This is a brothel. There should be some people out of the room, and perhaps, she can be saved...

However, after taking two steps, she suddenly feels something sweet in her throat and a mouthful of black blood spurts out. Even though she tries her best to control herself, she blacks out and falls down.

A shadow suddenly jumps down from the beam, and catches Nangong Ning before she touches the ground. And then, the two figures fly out of the window instantly and disappear.

The lewd man comes back with some followers to look for Nangong Ning. They come in the room only to find that there is no one inside. They become stunned.

At this moment, Mr. Zong drives a carriage and just arrives at the Regent's Mansion.

He gets off the carriage and is about to go inside when he turns and sees a carriage coming.

"Miss Nangong?" Mr. Zong calls out happily.

After he woke up from a coma, Mr. Zong found that Nangong Ning and the coachman were missing. He knew that something had happened, and quickly returned to report.

Maybe it is Nangong Ning, who is coming back?

However, as soon as the carriage stops before him, the curtain is lifted, and to his disappointment, a charming girl comes down from it.

It's not Nangong Ning.

It’s An Suying, who knows Mr. Zong. In fact, people in the capital city all know the medical saint Mr. Zong, the man of the Regent Jun Qianye.

"Mr. Zong, is the Regent in?"

Mr. Zong is anxious and has no time to talk to her. After all, no matter who she is, the Regent is not fond of women, and will certainly refuse to see her. It is baffling for her to come to see the Regent.

"I don't know!”

Mr. Zong answers casually and turns to run inside the gate.

An Suying is stunned. Just then the steward rushes out, seeing Mr. Zong and saying hastily, “Mr. Zong, the Lord wants to see you!”

"Ah?" Mr. Zong reacts after a pause. He claps his hands and says, “That’s good. I just want to speak to the Lord. Something happens and Miss Nangong …”

Hearing this, An Suying stops Mr. Zong, asking, “What? Miss Nangong? Do you mean the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, Nangong Ning?”

Mr. Zong is too anxious to talk with the woman who is talkative. So, he pushes her aside regardless of who she is.

An Suying is startled, and quickly gets out of the way. Mr. Zong rushes in.

Seeing that, An Suying walks in with her skirt lifted by her hand.

“Wait a minute, Miss!” The steward stretches out to stop her.

An Suying stops and with a smile on her face, she says gently, “I am An Suying from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. I have something to talk to the Regent. Please give my name to him.”

"I am sorry the Regent does not receive visitors. Please go back. Miss An,” says the steward coldly.

An Suying's face changes, but still controls her temper and says, "I am here for Miss Nangong. Please take my message to the Regent."

Nangong Ning is now the Lord’s fiancée. The steward hesitates for a moment, thinks for a while and takes a look at An Suying.

"Miss An, please wait here for a moment.”

An Suying secretly grits her teeth, complaining why not to be invited to come in and wait inside.

Yet with an appropriate smile on her face, she says, “OK.”

When Mr. Zong reaches the room, Weichu just comes out. Weichu says as soon as he sees Mr. Zong, “Please come in. The Lord is waiting for you.”

Mr. Zong feels a little puzzled, but at this moment he is too anxious to talk to him, so he hurries in.

Inside the room, a voice comes from Jun Qianye before he sees him, “Come here, quick!”

Mr. Zong feels even more puzzled.

He has been with Jun Qianye for so many years, and for the first time, he finds that Jun Qianye is so anxious in his voice that he even loses control of his tone.

However, as soon as he enters, he almost jumps when he sees a woman lying on Jun Qianye’s bed.

"It is Miss Nangong!”

"Come and see her, quick!" Jun Qianye’s anxious tone is mixed with impatience.

Mr. Zong is baffled, but his heart is beating faster, and he quickens his steps up, looking at Nangong Ning at a glance, and couldn't help exclaiming.

“My God!”

The face of Nangong Ning now is frightening.

"My Lord, what is the matter with her?"

"I don’t know." Jun Qianye frowns, looking displeased. The girl runs too fast, and when he finds her, she has turned into such an image. Even though Jun Qianye is a person who sees the world, it is hard for him to look at her with ease.

But he is clear that Nangong Ning is poisoned heavily and must be saved immediately, otherwise, she is doomed to die.

Mr. Zong looks at Nangong Ning's face, but finds nowhere to start. Finally, he has to take out a set of acupuncture needles and says, "Miss Nangong is poisoned, but I don't know what the poison is. I can only use the acupuncture needles to suppress the poisoning down."

Jun Qianye says nothing. Regardless of what opinion his Lord has, Mr. Zong starts to insert his acupuncture needles into her body.

When he finishes, Nangong Ning does not look better, but she breathes, which shows she is still alive.

But the acupuncture is not an effective method.

"My Lord, the poison in the body of Miss Nangong is in highly toxic, which I can suppress with the needle only for a period of time, but it is not a long-term solution. She must be detoxified.

Jun Qianye takes a look at Nangong Ning, saying, "She should be poisoned by herself.”

"Why?" Mr. Zong is startled, suddenly remembering why he comes here in a hurry, saying, "My Lord, Miss Nangong and I were trapped on the way back from the Shennong Hall. When I woke up, Miss Nangong was gone, and I come all the way back to report ... Ah? How could Miss Nangong be here?”

Jun Qianye is reluctant to explain but only says in a cold voice, "Examine her again to see whether you can detoxify her or not."

Mr. Zong feels more puzzled, but for the time being, his brain doesn’t work well. Besides, as a doctor, he is very clear that the most important thing for him to do now is to detoxify Nangong Ning.

Just then, Weichu comes in and reports, "My Lord, the steward comes to say that the prime minister's daughter An Suying has something to see you, which is about Miss Nangong."

At first, Weichu wanted to ask the steward to refuse An Suying directly, for he is very clear that Jun Qianye would not like to talk with the noble young ladies from the capital city.

But since she comes for something about Miss Nangong, Weichu is not so sure whether Jun Qianye would like to see her or not.

"About Nangong Ning?" Jun Qianye’s eyes fall on Nangong Ning’s swollen face. And with his eyes narrowed, he says very decisively, “Go and ask her to tell you, and then let her go.”

It is just as he expects. So, Weichu bows and turns to go out.

Seeing someone coming out, An Suying is happy, and when she sees it is Weichu, she even becomes more pleased, for she knows that Weichu is a henchman of Jun Qianye.

"How are you, Mr. Weichu?"

Weichu looks cold, and asks directly, "What do you know about Miss Nangong?”

"Ah?" An Suying is stunned, thinking Weichu would invite her to come in. It takes a while for her to reply, “I am to talk to the Regent about her …”

"Not necessary," says Weichu in a colder voice.

An Suying is annoyed, but she does not want to give up. Taking a step up, she says in a low voice, “What I will talk about is something that I would tell the Regent in person, which would not be passed to him. Therefore, please let me come in to see the Regent.”

Weichu glances coldly at An Suying.

His glance makes her scalp numb. Though Weichu is subordinate to Jun Qianye, he is as awe-inspiring as his master, and one would feel so reserved to talk to him, not to mention looking at his eyes.

“Miss An, please go back home!

After saying this, Weichu turns and goes away, leaving An Suying stunned there. She watches Weichu disappear in front of her, and it takes quite some time before she comes to her sense.
