Nangong Ning's painful face is slightly twisted, but when she sees Jun Qianye motionless, she is anxious, leans forward and grabs one of his sleeves.

Seeing that his sleeve is clenched by Nangong Ning, Jun Qianye tries to fling it off with a force. With a sound of “ripping”, his sleeve is torn off, and Nangong Ning herself is thrown back onto the bed by the rebounding force.

Weichu is shocked by the scene. But what makes him even more surprised is that after flinging off Nangong Ning, Jun Qianye suddenly picks up the bowl of antidote and steps up, pulls Nangong Ning rudely up to him, pinches her jaw to force her mouth open, and pours the content of the bowl into her mouth. It seems he gets used to her pig-like head now.

“Ahem!"

Nangong Ning is almost choked to death by the antidote, and therefore, she does not swallow a drop of the medicinal juice.

Jun Qianye stares at her with anger rising in his eyes, cursing loudly, "Nangong Ning, do you want to die?"

Nangong Ning just coughs painfully and cannot say a word.

Jun Qianye is so angry that he calls out, "Mr. Zong!"

"Lord, Mr. Zong hasn't come back yet. I will go and find him,” says Weichu, who knows that Jun Qianye is really flying into a fury.

He goes out quickly while he is saying.

Now only Jun Qianye and Nangong Ning are left in the room.

Jun Qianye frowns and looks at Nangong Ning. With his eyes on her painful face, he snorts, "Nangong Ning, you’d better ensure that you would not trouble me again!"

After that, he picks up the bowl and tilts his head back a little, swallows a large mouthful of the medicinal juice, then bends down, and seals the mouth of Nangong Ning, who coughs painfully, with his lips.

Mr. Zong and Weichu rush in, with a funnel in the hand.

“Lord, I am coming, and this is the … . Ah? Where is the antidote?” asks Mr. Zong.

Weichu also finds the bowl empty, looking at Jun Qianye suspiciously.

He finds that there is some residual dark medicinal juice on the corners of the mouth of Jun Qianye.

Therefore, it is not necessary to ask what has happened.

With a broad smile suffusing his wrinkled face, Mr. Zong says, “Oh, my Lord, you can tell me frankly if you are to feed Miss Nangong the medicinal juice yourself. I am used to …”

Being met with the cold eyes of Jun Qianye, Mr. Zong suddenly becomes silent.

Suddenly Weichu cries out in surprise, “Lord, look! Miss Nangong’s eyes change again.”

Jun Qianye turns to look, and finds that the color of her eyes changes to blood-red gradually with seductive charms.

What the hell is going on?

When the color of her eyes changed just now, Jun Qianye was quite sure that she must have had experienced something, which he could not understand.

Now the color changes again, and something occurs to him and he makes a step up to observe carefully.


The darker the color of red becomes in her eyes, the less the swelling becomes on her face, which can be observed by naked eyes.

It takes a little while for a pig-head like face to be changed into a beauty with seductive charms.

However, as Nangong Ning’s complexion recovers, the blood-red color of her eyes fades away quickly at the same time. In an instant, the blood-red color disappears, and her dark black eyes return, clear and innocent.

Why is that?

So, Jun Qianye could not help asking Nangong Ning, “What happened to you just now?”

This time, Nangong Ning has been detoxified in a real sense. But now she feels pains all over her body. She does not know why. She just feels like as if she were beaten, and her bones ache so much that she could not help gasping.

She pauses for a moment, and then lifts her eyes and looks at him.

Since she was poisoned in the brothel, her memory is very vague. It can be said that she couldn’t remember anything. Was she rescued by Jun Qianye?

Nangong Ning looks at the beautiful face of the handsome man in front of her eyes. But Jun Qianye looks as cold as a big piece of ice. However, with the man beside her, Nangong Ning has a strange sense of safety.

It is just like when Emperor Fengtian wanted to kill her at the Royal Palace, Jun Qianye came in suddenly at the critical moment and saved her life.

She has a heavy feeling in her heart, seeming as if being touched.

Jun Qianye is not touched at the moment. He doesn't think that he has saved Nangong Ning, just as he doesn't want to admit that Nangong Ning transformed the toxin for the purpose of saving his life.

What he wants to know now is why she had that blood-red eyes.

“What’s wrong with your eyes just now?”

Nangong Ning doesn't know that she has no memory of the sudden state of self-consciousness.

She seems puzzled, looking at Jun Qianye in puzzlement.

Mr. Zong, who has a strong sense of existence, couldn't help saying, "Miss Nangong, when you took the antidote you prescribed, your eyes turned red, and you looked beautiful but scary."

Nangong Ning is even more suspicious, looking at Mr. Zong in surprise.

Mr. Zong nods at her.

Nangong Ning frowns and shakes her head, "I don't know, I ... just feel that my eyes are a little tingling now. Are my eyes red now?"

Mr. Zong shakes his head and says, "They have been returned to normal. Let me have a look.” While he is saying, he goes over to give Nangong Ning an examination.

He soon finishes his examination and says in disappointment, “There is nothing different.”

Jun Qianye looks at Nangong Ning. Based on his experience, Jun Qianye could tell that Nangong Ning doesn’t tell a lie. She seems not to know anything at all.

He suppressed his doubts and snorts, "Nangong Ning, at least you should know who poisoned you."

Nangong Ning is more depressed about this.

"I don't know," she replies.

Jun Qianye's face sinks suddenly. He is obviously displeased.

Nangong Ning tries to explain at once, "The Old Fat Man and I were trapped after we came out of the Shennong Hall today. I know who did it. It’s Jun Zixuan. But those who did harm to me later, I feel, are not in the same group.

Although Jun Zixuan arranged for someone to rob her, he showed up soon, which indicates that he had no other plans. But those who did harm to her have more powerful means. They sent more people to deal with a little girl as she is, which shows the person behind the scheme hates her more than Jun Zixuan does, or put it more concisely, thinks highly of her.

"That person poisoned me with philter. I don't think Jun Zixuan would use this method to deal with a woman. Only women would have this kind of sinister means," says Nangong Ning in her analysis.

She is a poison master. She does not only know poisons, but also knows something about what kind of people would use what kind of poisons.

Jun Qianye lifts his eyebrow a little.

“A woman?”

Nangong Ning nods affirmatively, looking at him hopefully.

Jun Qianye looks annoyed by the way that she looks at him.

Mr. Zong interrupts, "Lord, the person who did this is too wicked. You must revenge for her.”

Jun Qianye looks at him.

Why does he want to revenge for Nangong Ning? What does he mean by protecting her all the time?

"Yes, Lord, the woman from the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion said that she came to talk to you about Miss Nangong. And it was reported that Nangong Qingyao also came. She said she was coming to see Miss Nangong,” says Weichu suddenly. "Are they the people who did harm to Miss Nangong?"

Jun Qianye turns to look at Weichu.

Even Weichu thinks his Lord should help Nangong Ning get revenged.

Now Nangong Ning also nods her head and says, "Yes, I remember having met An Suying on my way back when I could not find the way. I wanted to ask her the way at that time, but she was not nice to me …”

Mr. Zong cannot help saying, "Miss Nangong, you should be more careful of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because our Lord used to..."

"Mr. Zong!” Weichu stops Mr. Zong when he sees Jun Qianye has a long face.

Mr. Zong reacts quickly and shuts his mouth up, showing an awkward smile to Nangong Ning, saying, "Anyway, Miss Nangong, you are now the Regent’s prince to be. Be more careful in what you are doing."

Nangong Ning finds it strange in what Mr. Zong says. It is clear that he wanted to tell her something but stopped by Weichu. It seems that he wouldn't say it again, so she has to find a chance to ask him again.

"Lord!" At this moment, the steward's voice suddenly comes from outside.

Weichu takes a look at Jun Qianye, and then goes out of the room. After a while, Weichu comes in with the steward.

As soon as the steward enters, he bows to Jun Qianye and says, "Lord, Nangong Luo from the Nangong Aristocratic Family is here. He has brought many people with him. He has been talking all the way that he comes here to welcome Miss Nangong back, and ..." He pauses, then says, "Besides, crowds of people are following him, as if to watch the fun."

  Weichu's face sinks, saying, "What's the fun to watch?"

The steward's face changes, and he lowers his head, saying, "I don’t know much about it, but they have already besieged the gate of the Mansion. I'm afraid it is ..."

Weichu's face changes.

The Mansion of the Regent has a special status in the State of Dongli. Jun Qianye, the Regent, is only loyal to Emperor Fengtian, and as a result, there are few visitors to the Mansion. And Weichu knows it clear that his Lord does not like visitors. But now the front gate of the Mansion has become a place like a market, which will definitely irritate the Lord.

"Nangong Ning!" Jun Quanye suddenly stares coldly at Nangong Ning, who is slumped on the bed. His tone is cold and fiercely bone-chilling without any emotion, which delivers clearly a kind of terror as if a storm is coming. "Get up immediately and get out of the room to deal with your trouble!"

Finally, Nangong Ning limps out of Jun Qianye's room, and Mr. Zong follows her all the way, trying to help her, but Nangong Ning refuses his help very strangely.

Her beautiful little face is taut with resentment, which makes the scalp of Mr. Zong feel numb.

Is the girl angry?

Is she angry with the Lord?

Mr. Zong thinks to himself, and then he feels that Nangong Ning is a bit too much, because even he feels that it is not the fault of Jun Qianye to treat her like that.

"Miss Nangong, don't you know that now your uncle has brought so many people to encircle the Mansion, which is a disrespect to the Lord?" Mr. Zong reminds Nangong Ning cautiously.

Nangong Ning’s taut face moves a little, and she looks at Mr. Zong in surprise.

Mr. Zong patiently says, "The Lord is the Regent, whose position is under one person but over ten thousand people. No one has humiliated the Lord before ..." of course, except Miss Nangong herself.

"Is this a humiliation?"

Nangong Ning doesn't understand. Even if Nangong Luo intentionally encircles the Regent’s Mansion with his followers, what could she do since she's been hurt all over, and has just been detoxified, therefore, she is so weak and she is dying. Can't he have a little pity for her?

He just drives her out like this. Does he have any humanity?
