Chapter 321 Someone is waiting outside
Of course Shen Ning knew why Xiao Nanrong changed his face... March would not appear again at the Xie family's house, and he already knew that something was wrong.
But most of the day has passed, and Xie Lingyue is the heroine, and with her good luck, she should have been like a fish in the sea.
Anyway, they had almost finished eating, so Shen Ning wiped her mouth and smiled: "Second Prince, what can I do for you?"
"So, Lychee is a cover, right?"
Xiao Nanyong's expression seemed calm, but a storm was brewing in his eyes.
This was the first time he felt dizzy...just because she brought a plate of lychees.
Just for a plate of lychees, he changed his mind and let her people go.
And that person might very well be the one he had been searching for in the palace, the one who took away his mother's jade pendant!
He didn't know what the jade pendant was used for, but his mother gave it to the fourth princess Xiao Yu before she died. This thing must be extraordinary... Now Xu Zhong is extremely important to him, and it can be said that he is a key to victory or defeat.
But he let go of the jade pendant because of a plate of lychees...
"Why did you do this to me?"
Xiao Nanrong grabbed Shen Ning's wrist and said, "I've never trusted anyone before, but this is the first time you've used me like this!"
Shen Ning smiled: "Yes, this is the first time I used you, but the Second Prince has been using me all the time. Why, you are used to using others but you can't stand being deceived?"
She tutted her tongue: "The Second Prince is really hypocritical."
Xiao Nanrong paused for a moment, then shook his head: "It's different."
Shen Ning sneered: “What’s the difference.”
"I treat you differently!"
It was also at this moment that Shen Ning suddenly saw something other than anger in Xiao Nanrong's eyes... Her heart sank, and before she could react, she was thrown backwards by a huge force and smashed onto the bed.
Chen Ning was in a bad physical condition. She felt dizzy after the fall. Before she could see clearly, she felt a figure approaching and holding her down. She pulled out the silver needle from her hair and stabbed it without hesitation... However, Xiao Nanrong was not as mediocre as he pretended to be.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the silver needle in Shen Ning's hand was snatched away by him, thrown away and stabbed into the pillar... Shen Ning raised her foot to kick, but her knee was also pinched.
Shen Ning slapped him directly with all her strength.
With a loud slap, Xiao Nanyong turned his face away, and finger marks immediately appeared on the jade-like cold skin of the half face that was hit.
Looking at Chen Ning quietly, Xiao Nanrong's usually elegant voice was filled with a sinister meaning, and his breath sprayed on her cheek, and he spoke word by word: "Prince Ding can spend the night under the flowers, but when you come to me, you will have to be a chaste and heroic woman... What's so good about him?"
Shen Ning was no longer able to struggle, and she smiled while panting: "It's okay, this kind of thing should be a matter of mutual affection. The Second Prince is not the kind of person who would force himself on a woman like this. That would be too embarrassing..."
Xiao Nanrong's face was expressionless: "You're about to kill me, do you still expect me to be a gentleman to you?"
After a while, Shen Ning's vision cleared up. She looked at Xiao Nanrong and said sarcastically, "Yes, I was about to kill you, but the Second Prince still wanted to get close to me. Tsk... What a unique way of revenge."
Unable to resist, Shen Ning deliberately provoked Xiao Nanrong so that he would not continue to indulge in such obscene behavior.
However, Xiao Nanyong looked at her dimly for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "The King of Beihai doesn't understand me... I never mind what others think of me, as long as my goal is achieved.
Ning Ning is right about one thing. I don't like to use force... But, forcing you isn't the only way to make you submit, right?"
Xiao Nanrong's eyes darkened. "I originally wanted to cultivate a good relationship with you, Ningning... You shouldn't have lied to me."
He slowly let go of Shen Ning's hand, stood up and straightened his clothes. He took a deep look at Shen Ning, who was lying on the bed with her long hair spread out, like a gorgeous but thorny flower, and curled his lips: "When Ning Ning needs me, I will come."
Shen Ning closed her eyes and silently recovered her strength...
In the past, she would have found it difficult to fall asleep in such a situation, but just as she was catching her breath, she fell into a deep sleep.
Even when someone came in to light the lamp and add some incense, she breathed evenly and didn't move at all, sleeping soundly until the next day...
Shen Ning didn't know that there was already chaos outside... Especially in the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was so shocked and sad that she almost fainted.
Chen Ning was assassinated in the palace, all the secret guards around her were killed or injured, and she herself lost her life... The old lady didn't dare to look at the bloody corpse, and she kept trembling and crying.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Nanny Gui was crying beside her, and Concubine Xie was almost crying.
First she lost her son, and now she has Shen Ning, whom she treated like a daughter. Concubine Xie seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant. Her eyes were full of grief, but she didn't even have the strength to cry.
"How can I explain this to Yun Qing? How can I explain this to Yun Qing..."
Because she had experienced the pain of losing a child, Xie Yunyan knew even more deeply the excruciating pain it felt. The thought of her sisters having to endure the same pain as herself nearly tore her heart apart...
Next to her, Concubine Ma, who was supporting Xie Yunyan, also had red eyes, but the palace maid beside her had a cold expression.
It is March after the disguise.
The next moment, Sanyue stepped forward, ignoring the exclamations of the crowd around her, including the Queen Mother, and vigorously wiped the corpse's face with a handkerchief... At first, there was no change, but then, the corners of the corpse's eyes cracked...
Concubine Ma exclaimed in astonishment, "This isn't Ningning! This body is fake!"
The empress dowager stood up suddenly, and Xie Yunyan was also stunned.
Now, the affairs of the court were controlled by Lord Xu, while those in the palace were arranged by the steady Second Prince… Xie Yunyan was about to send someone to inform the Second Prince, but Concubine Ma quickly stopped her, “No, you can’t go!”
But the next moment she reacted: "We have to inform everyone, not just the Second Prince, but also let everyone know that this body is not Ningning, and Ningning is not dead!"
Originally, Noble Lady Ma's first reaction was to distrust the Second Prince. After all, the servants on Shen Ning's side said that before Shen Ning got into trouble, she said she was going to the Second Prince's place.
But then she realized that letting the Second Prince know that they had discovered it would have no impact on the matter, but making it known to the public could allow them to pass on the news to Prince Ding.
Prince Ding is currently single-handedly fighting against the Tatars, Wala, and Xu Zhong's rebels. If he were to think that something happened to Shen Ning at this critical juncture, he would be in trouble.
Regardless of anything else, it is more important to reassure Prince Ding.
The Queen Mother heaved a long sigh: "I knew it, I knew that little monkey wouldn't be so unfortunate..."
Outside the palace, there was a great deal of chaos at Xie's residence.
First, the news of Shen Ning's accident came out from the palace, and Xie Yunqing fainted directly... After waking up, he lost his voice and couldn't even cry. Shen Chengxi was sad and anxious, not knowing what to do. Then he received news from the Queen Mother: the body was not his sister.
So, even though my sister is missing now, at least, at least...
Xie Yunqing grabbed his son's arm and asked him dozens of times. Shen Chengxi had to intercept the eunuch who was delivering the message and bring him to Xie Yunqing. Only then did Xie Yunqing really believe it and finally breathed a sigh of relief...
While the entire capital was discussing the missing King of Beihai, Shen Ning was still imprisoned in the palace leading to the secret room of Weiyang Palace.
"Your Highness, dinner is here. Please enjoy it first."
Shishu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, with some helplessness in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing extra.
Shen Ning glanced at the food, thought of what she had said before, and then shook her head: "I'm not hungry..."
The secretary moved his lips and advised, "Didn't you say yesterday that you shouldn't starve yourself to the point of dizziness?"
Shen Ning smiled and sat up: "I didn't think Xiao Nanrong was a lunatic before. Now that I know, I'm naturally afraid."
The attendant frowned: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Our prince is not crazy, he is just..."
Shen Ning raised her hand: "Stop, do you want to quarrel with me?"
The maid lowered her eyes and pursed her lips: "I dare not."
Chen Ning looked unwilling to cooperate, and Shishu had no choice but to go out angrily to reply to her master. At this time, she saw Yan Nu coming from the opposite side.
Because the master knew that Yan Nu didn't like the King of Beihai, he didn't let her serve him. Seeing Yan Nu approaching with a cold expression, the attendant stepped forward and whispered a warning: "Don't do anything reckless. Although His Highness has imprisoned the King of Beihai, it's clear that he is very concerned. Don't seek death."
Yan Nu raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I don't believe that His Highness will kill me just because I offended the King of Beihai."
After saying this, without giving the secretary a chance to refute, Yan Nu pushed her away and said impatiently, "Isn't it okay for me to just go in and take a look at the miserable state of the King of Beihai? Just think of it as me serving the prince... You don't have to be so nosy."
Shishu wanted to stop him, but Yannu glared at him coldly.
Knowing that Yan Nu had unspeakable feelings for his master, Shishu thought about it and did not try to stop him.
If Yan Nu really offended the King of Beihai, then if the master punishes Yan Nu on behalf of the King of Beihai, maybe it will improve the relationship between the master and the King of Beihai?
Thinking of this, the secretary secretly hid aside, waiting for the moment when the King of Beihai was being bullied, and then tipped off the situation, giving his master the opportunity to act as a hero and save the beauty...
Yan Nu entered the bedroom and closed the door behind him.
Hearing the sound, Shen Ning raised her eyes, and when she saw that it was Yan Nu, she looked away again, bored and looking at the texture of her fingers over and over again.
Basket, basket, basket, basket...
"The food is clean, and the medicine is in the incense."
Yan Nu suddenly spoke in a low voice. Shen Ning was stunned and raised her eyes suddenly.
Yan Nu turned around and glanced outside, speaking very quickly: "Your Highness, please eat quickly, change into my clothes and leave. Someone will meet you outside... and will escort you out of the palace."
