Xue Changrao was seen pinching Ning Xiaotang's neck with one hand, but Ning Xiaotang was holding a very thin silver needle against Xue Changrao's artery.
The movements of both people froze at this moment.
"Do you feel cold all over now? And numb all over?" Ning Xiaotang took a needle and pricked the base of Xue Changrao's finger.
The next second, Xue Changrao let go of his hand, and Ning Xiaotang easily escaped.
"Second Prince!" Xue Changrao's men immediately rushed forward nervously, but were blocked outside by people at the auction.
"Humph! You must have poisoned me! Otherwise, why would I be unable to move?"
"Xue Changrao, don't you think it's too late for you to react now?" Ning Xiaotang said in a baby voice.
As he turned around, he said coldly, "Since Xue Changrao failed in the competition with me, he must take the initiative to ask for another girl in marriage in front of the Emperor of Qingye Kingdom!"
"Hmph! Just wait and see!" Xue Changrao immediately fell to the ground. Because the effect of the drug was numbness first and then dizziness, he had already fainted on the ground.
"Second Prince~!" Several people dressed as servants immediately stepped forward to take care of him.
"Don't worry, the second prince was just poisoned, and the poison is not fatal!" Ning Xiaotang said this to everyone as soon as she got on the carriage.
"How dare you disrespect our Second Prince!"
A secret guard flashed out and stared at Ning Xiaotang angrily.
"Stop talking too much!" Ning Xiaotang stared at him with an impatient look.
The secret guard felt the obvious power of a powerful and sharp opponent, and immediately shrank his neck in fear.
"Let's go! Back home!" Ning Xiaotang sat in the carriage and reached out to touch her thin neck.
"Girl, you were in danger just now. Is your neck okay?"
"Well, it hurts a little. Can you give me some medicine to apply on it?"
Quan Yue immediately took out the medicine and started applying it.
"Girl, there are very red fingerprints on your neck. It shows that you were in great pain just now."
"It's okay. It would be unreasonable to not get any injuries in a competition with a strong opponent!" Ning Xiaotang still felt a little scared in her heart.
Xue Changrao's martial arts skills are very strong, although not half as good as Ye Jingxiao's. But he was at such a close distance just now. If it weren't for the space pill, his neck might have been strangled and he would have died.
Return to the Princess's Mansion
"Miss, the old lady doesn't seem to be feeling well. She caught a cold today." Liu Ayuan came to report.
"It must be that Qian Fangchun who kept pestering my grandma, and that's why she passed the cold to her!"
"What should the girl do?" Liu Ayuan was panicking.
"Ling Hu, go to Prince Chen's mansion and ask Doctor Yuan to come over. I'll go check on the milk!"
"Yes, young lady!" Ling Hu immediately walked quickly to invite someone.
At this time, Luo Xiangqin's throat was itchy from coughing: "Cough~ cough cough cough!"
"Grandma, you really are sick. I told you not to meet Qian Fangchun for a while, but you still met her?"
"Cough, cough, cough, it's not that serious. I just feel weak and have a little cough. There's nothing to worry about."
"You're still feeling weak? If you don't take good care of yourself this winter, you might develop a serious illness!"
Ning Xiaotang immediately took the empty bowl of medicine from Luo Xiangqin and placed it on the tray.
Luo Xiangqin smiled slightly and said, "You all are busy going out to Kyoto to play and see the scenery, but she has no one to lead her, so she stayed to accompany an old woman like me."
"Oh, so you want to go out and see the streets of Kyoto?"
"Who said it wasn't? Now I've caught a cold. I'm afraid I can't leave the house for a while."
"Grandma, you can't leave the house, but I can ask Quanyue to come and tell you about what he saw and heard in Kyoto!"
"Really? This is amazing! I haven't seen it, but even if I heard about it, I'd still consider it as seeing it!"
"Quanyue, come and tell me everything you saw and heard today!"
"Yes, girl!"
Quan Yue immediately described in vivid detail what happened when they left Kyoto City, and especially mentioned the part where Xue Changrao wanted to bully Ning Xiaotang.
"Then what?" Luo Xiangqin immediately nervously grasped the corner of the quilt in her hand.
"The girl's pill froze the Second Prince of Xuefei Kingdom in place, and she easily escaped from his clutches. However, her neck turned red!"
"Hey, Tangtang, tell me to take a good look at your neck."
"Grandma, it's not that serious. Quan Yue is exaggerating!"
"No, tell grandma to take a good look at your neck. This Xuefei Kingdom has always been at war with our Qingye Kingdom. If I marry there, I would rather Tangtang go up the mountain and become a nun!"
"Oh, grandma, that's a good idea, just what I want!"
"Silly Tangtang, do you think it's good to be a nun? It's hard to be a nun every day!"
"But if I were engaged to Xue Changrao, I would be even more miserable."
Here the grandmother and grandson are chatting animatedly.
In the Kyoto Posthouse
"Second Prince, are you feeling better?" Doctor He immediately raised his eyes and asked nervously.
"Doctor He, what kind of poison did I get?" Xue Changrao asked angrily.
"Your Highness, this poison will numb you and make you lose your fighting ability, but it's not fatal! It's not difficult to detoxify, but it will still make you unable to fight on the battlefield."
"I actually lost to this little idiot at the Fuyue Auction this time. I'm truly useless!"
"Your Highness, Second Prince, if you deny Ning Xiaotang the title of Imperial Consort just because of this competition, wouldn't that be too easy for her?"
"Deny her as the Imperial Concubine? Absolutely not! I'm still going to get engaged to her! I'm going to take her back and torture her to death!"
Xue Changrao was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Master He immediately smiled wickedly. It seemed that Lan Yuehong hated Ning Xiaotang to the core. She even asked him to persuade the Second Prince. This would easily make His Royal Highness the Second Prince insist on taking Ning Xiaotang away!
Chen Palace
"Xu Qingfeng, are you saying that Tangtang has already fought with Xue Changrao?"
"My Lord, that's right. They fought while you were in seclusion, but the princess used drugs to make Xue Changrao lose!"
"That's great, but Tangtang is also afraid of attracting attention after showing off her strength in front of Xue Changrao."
"My Lord, this Xue Chang is only seven years old. Why would this princess offend him?"
"Because Lan Yuehong is older than Xue Changrao, the person Lan Yuehong is supposed to marry should be the eldest prince of Xuefei Kingdom.
So Tangtang's goal now is to make Xue Changrao hate her so that she won't marry him."
"I'm afraid the princess will be disappointed!" Xu Qingfeng immediately bowed his head.
"How do you say that?"
"My Lord, Xue Changrao has just issued an edict inviting the princess to visit Lord Lan's residence three days from now to congratulate his elder brother and Lan Yuehong on their engagement! He also said with particular pride, 'I hope Princess Roujia, my future imperial consort, will also be there!'"
