"You want to go back to Yizhou?" Su Bi was a little surprised.

Ning Xihua nodded, "My father is still at the front, so I shouldn't interfere at this time. But the old lady is critically ill, and my father is not here, so I must go back."

Su Bi was silent. Although he wanted to tie her up by his side and keep her under his nose all the time, he couldn't say the words to ask her not to leave in this situation.

Ning Xihua saw that Su Bi was a little disappointed, and her mood also became a little melancholy.

But she still said in a cheerful tone, "I'm worried that something might happen on the way to Yizhou, so I'm here to ask my fiancé for help."

Su Bi's eyebrows raised when she said "fiancé".

"I'm afraid the Ning Palace's soldiers are insufficient. You can bring the guards from Linhua Palace with you and pretend to be the palace's people."

"Mrs. Ning is ill. I often use the imperial physician who has superb medical skills. You should bring them with you. There are also various medicinal herbs. Bring more of them. I will have them prepare them for you."

"I'm worried about you not having a personal bodyguard by your side, so I asked Huaichuan and Huailiu to go back to Yizhou with you."

Ning Xihua listened to Su Bi chattering on and on about everything for her. He was exactly the same as the old man when she returned to Yizhou three years ago. She felt amused and warmed at the same time.

"Kaichuan and Kairyu are following me, what will you do if you have no one around you?"

Su Bi patted her head and said, "Don't worry about me. I can protect myself."

He sighed, still worried, "How about I pretend to be sick and stay with you..."

Ning Xihua interrupted him, "Stop making trouble."

Emperor Shao Yuan had just granted the marriage, and various forces in the capital were ready to make a move. If he left the capital at this time, he would probably find that the situation in the capital had changed when he returned.

Su Bi finally said nothing more.

Although he cannot compete with her in the fight for power and profit, if he cannot fight for power and profit, even if he can accompany her now, he will not be able to protect her in the future.

Ning Xihua took his hand and soothed him, "Don't worry, I will be very careful this time and will not put myself in danger again."

Su Bi sighed again, "If only we could get married sooner, I could be with you openly all the time."

Ning Xihua laughed. She didn't expect Su Bi to be such a clingy person.

"I'm not running away from marriage. If things go well, maybe I can come back and spend the New Year with you."

At this point, she seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way, I have one more thing to do before I leave."

…

Lin Mansion.

Lin Mengli was looking at Ning Xihua walking towards her in horror.

"Nice to meet you again. I heard that you were named the Third Prince's concubine, so I came here specially to congratulate you."

Lin Mengli was tied to a chair with a cloth strip stuffed in her mouth, feeling somewhat hopeless.

This was the case the last time she was taken out of the mansion, and no one around noticed. When she returned to the mansion, she found that all the servants who had been involved in framing Ning Xihua had died suddenly.

Lin's father was shocked by this incident. She managed to cover it up with great difficulty, but she was still trembling with fear that another accident would happen.

But until she was given the marriage, Ning Xihua still did not make any move. She thought the matter was over. After all, Ning Xihua cared about her reputation, and she had already been...

Unexpectedly, she came after all.

Ning Xihua looked at Xiao Baihua's bruised wrists and the cloth strips soaked with saliva, and secretly admired Huailiu for his honesty.

"I don't have anything good to offer you, so I can only give you a Heart-Eating Pill as a gift to you."

He walked up to her swiftly, took out a piece of cloth, pinched her mouth and stuffed a Heart-Eating Pill into her mouth. Without waiting for her to scream for help, he stuffed the cloth back into her mouth.

The Heart-Eating Pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth. Seeing that her struggle was futile, Lin Mengli's eyes were filled with fear and hatred.

Ning Xihua felt very happy when she saw her expression.

Sure enough, being a vicious female supporting role is the most satisfying thing.

"Don't be afraid. This medicine won't kill you for now. It will just make you suffer excruciating pain every month."

When Lin Mengli heard this, hope was instantly rekindled. She kept twisting her body and winking, signaling her to speak.

Ning Xihua was not afraid that she would open her mouth and scream, so she let Huailiu remove the cloth from her mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that I will make your capture known to the public?"

Ning Xihua smiled, "Where's the evidence? Only you saw it, and I came back unharmed."

She stared at Lin Mengli's unwilling eyes, "On the contrary, you, your position as the third prince's concubine may not be stable, after all..."

She smiled meaningfully.

Lin Mengli's face changed, and her tone was firm, as if she was trying to convince herself, "The Third Prince loves me and knows me well, so he will not believe in some rumors."

After she was abducted, she made an appointment with Su Xu a few days later. She used some tricks to make Su Xu drunk and have sex with her.

After Su Xu woke up, she felt guilty and firmly requested Emperor Shao Yuan to make her a concubine. After all, the status of a concubine personally appointed by the emperor was much higher than that of a concubine casually taken by the prince, so this could be regarded as Su Xu's compensation to her.

Ning Xihua did not point it out, but only said sarcastically, "Is that so? Then I wish you and Su Xu to grow old together and be together forever."

After saying that, he was too lazy to bother with the little white flower anymore, so he called Huai Liu and prepared to leave.

"etc."

Lin Mengli called her, with a complicated expression.

"Before, I thought the Third Prince wanted to marry you, and I thought you were blocking my way, so I opposed you in every way."

She paused and continued, "Now that you are the future Crown Princess, you have nothing to do with the Third Prince anymore, and there is no conflict of interest between you and me anymore."

Ning Xihua raised an eyebrow, "So?"

Lin Mengli took a deep breath. "It's true that I had you kidnapped, but you were unharmed in the end, and later I was also kidnapped. We are even now. If you are willing to keep the secret, our past will be wiped out and we will not interfere with each other from now on."

Ning Xihua sneered.

It's a good idea to keep one's distance from others. She must have believed in the little white flower!

She was naive before. Although she had been a princess for three years, she was still a salted fish who relied on her original identity to bully others.

Prince Ning doted on her, Su Bi indulged her. People who have enough love are always too lazy to care about things, and never always be on guard as if facing a powerful enemy.

Although she was worried about repeating the ending of the original book, she only focused on clinging to the big boss and preventing Su Xu from becoming the crown prince or even ascending the throne.

But she couldn't completely carry her original hatred for Su Xu or Lin Mengli. At most, she felt disgust and aversion. These two people irritated her, and she vented her anger and forgot about it.

To put it bluntly, she never really took these two people seriously. In her mind, they were more like paper figures in the original book.

But this incident made her realize that she, Lin Mengli and Su Xu were always enemies and would fight to the death.

Not to mention that she was destined to stand on the opposite side of Lin Mengli from the moment she replaced the original body. Even if Su Xu and Su Bi competed for the throne, they would inevitably become enemies.

Lin Mengli calls this a lack of conflict of interest? And wants to write it off?

She wishful thinking!

"You are now poisoned. Your life or death depends on my thoughts. What can you use to negotiate with me?"

Ning Xihua's tone was cold, and even his eyebrows were filled with contempt.

It is not fair to treat someone in their own way. Since she dared to do it, you must be mentally prepared to accept her revenge.

Although Lin Mengli looked embarrassed when she heard this, she still sincerely sought peace.

"If the princess needs me in the future, I will do my best."

Lin Mengli only thought that Ning Xihua poisoned her because she was afraid that killing her would lead to Su Xu's revenge.

But as long as she doesn't die, she will definitely be able to turn things around!

When Ning Xihua saw Lin Mengli's attitude, she felt contempt in her heart.

Based on her understanding of Little White Flower, she just wanted to stabilize her first, keep her life and keep the secret.

When the little white flower has secured a position and even holds power one day, she will not want to kill as many people as possible who know her secrets and have hurt her. She would rather write the word "never" upside down!

Ning Xihua secretly patted her chest and thought, she was so smart that she would not be fooled by the little white flower!

But Ning Xihua did not refuse directly. After all, she still wanted to watch Xiaobai spend all her efforts to climb up step by step. It would be so boring to cut off her hope now.

So she just replied calmly, "Anyway, your life is safe for now. Whether it will be as you wish depends on how you behave in the future."

Lin Mengli felt relieved when she saw that Ning Xihua did not refuse her.

When she wanted to say something to make Ning Xihua let down her guard temporarily, she saw Ning Xihua walking away with his guards without even looking back.

Lin Mengli: ...

She hasn't untied the rope yet...
