After that, she was so angry that she gasped. The servant girls didn't dare to stay any longer and directly pulled Ning Yuling out. When they were outside, Ning Yuling didn't dare to make too much noise. She tidied her hair, angrily shook off the hands of the two old maids, and strode out. The two old maids looked at each other and followed her helplessly. It seemed that they were sending her off rather than detaining her!
Master Mingyue came to check on Ning Xueyan and prescribed some medicine to reduce the swelling. He just said that she should have a good rest. Madam Dowager asked someone to choose some ornaments for her to calm her down and sent her back to her yard.
Back in the yard, Ning Xueyan sat on the couch and rested. Master Mingyue's medicine was very good. It didn't take long for Ning Xueyan's forehead to be less swollen. Qingyu was relieved to see that the injury on her forehead was not serious.
"Young Lady, why did Madam Dowager reward you with these things? You can't wear them now!" Lanning pointed to the exquisite brocade and ornaments on the table and asked with a frown. These things were obviously good, but Ning Xueyan was in mourning now, so it was not appropriate to use them.
"This is Madam Dowager's kindness to you. Madam Dowager really found that you are good." Qingyu smiled innocently.
"Not that I'm good, but that I can be used well. I'm quite useful." Ning Xueyan sneered. Her long eyelashes flickered, leaving a faint shadow on her white face. But Madam Dowager's idea was too perfect. After all, she didn't expect that she was not the Ning Xueyan who didn't know how to resist.
How could Madam Dowager be good to her? One was her beloved granddaughter, and the other was indifferent and emotionless. The reason why Madam Dowager was good to her just now was to show others the rules of the Lord Protector's Manor that Ning Yuling made such a scene. On the other hand, it was to sharpen Ning Yuling!
Madam Dowager used her to encourage Ning Yuling and to be a stepping stone for Ning Yuling!
It was not a good thing for Ning Yuling to marry into the royal family with her character. Madam Dowager used her to make Ning Yuling suffer some losses. As for whether she would be hated by Ning Yuling or what the result would be, it was not Madam Dowager's concern.
Lanning was silent. She was someone who had died once, so she thought more than Qingyu. She understood that Ning Xueyan was right, so she was speechless.
Qingyu bit her lips and said nothing. She felt even more sorry for her Miss!
Honored Consort Ya's carriage arrived in the evening, just as everyone expected. For a while, all the madams in the temple went out to greet her. The gate of the Cold Mountain Temple was bustling with noise. Those madams who brought their daughters here all wanted to show their faces in front of Honored Consort Ya. If they could get Honored Consort Ya's attention, their marriage might be successful. Even if they were not princes, the Princes' heirs were also very distinguished.
Everyone went to the front, and the back was empty and quiet. Ning Xueyan took advantage of this free time and walked to the back. She had been lying in bed for the past few days, and her body was stiff. She just wanted to take a walk to relieve her boredom.
The back mountain of the Cold Mountain Temple was quiet everywhere. Because everyone flocked to the front where Honored Consort Ya was, the backyard became more and more quiet. The stream flowed and the mountain road was quiet. Walking along a fork, Ning Xueyan saw the ancient trees, which made her feel peaceful. Walking slowly in this quiet mountain forest, Ning Xueyan felt like she was in a dream.
Everything after her rebirth was more like a dream. Only the heart-wrenching pain when she suffocated was so real.
After walking for a while, a stream converged under a small waterfall and formed a pool. The waterfall was hanging high beside the pool. The sound was not loud, but it gurgled and then poured into the pool. The pool was so clear that the bottom could be seen. Fish could be seen swimming at the bottom of the pool from time to time. It was a unique leisurely place between heaven and earth.
There was a person sitting on a tall rock beside the pool. His hair was wet and messy, and his back was facing Ning Xueyan. However, Ning Xueyan could still recognize the luxurious and flamboyant black brocade robe. The crimson red spider lilies were blooming on the ink-colored robe, and there were also golden threads outlining the magnificence.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Some people's fate was really ill-fated!
She met the person she didn't want to see!
Now in the whole temple, the one who didn't take Honored Consort Ya seriously was Prince Yi, who had great power in the court. Of course, he couldn't leave at this time. How could there be no guards around him? Since he let her come in front of him, it must be his order.
"Why don't you go to the front and flatter Honored Consort Ya? Maybe you will marry the elegant and romantic Third Prince." Sure enough, before she moved, Ao Chenyi, who was sitting on the high stone, had already turned his head. Without the golden crown, he looked less noble than usual and more evil. He slightly raised his handsome eyes, looked at Ning Xueyan coldly and said.
Ning Xueyan shook her head and leaned on a stone beside her. She looked up to the sky and said lightly, "It's not easy to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family. I have neither aptitude nor talent. I'd better not get involved in it, or I won't even know how I die!"
What she said was the truth. Now she couldn't even protect herself in the Lord Protector's Manor. If she still wanted to fight with others for the Third Prince, she would be surrounded by enemies from both inside and outside. Maybe she would end up with nothing left.
In her previous life, she had experienced love. In this life, she only wanted to take revenge and then live a peaceful life. Glory, splendor, wealth, love, and deep love were all gone like smoke and mist!
"What if I help you become the wife of the Third Prince?" Ao Chenyi leaned his body on the stone platform, facing Ning Xueyan. There was a trace of a creepy smile in his eyes.
"Thank you, Your Highness. But I really don't want to be the wife of the Third Prince." Ning Xueyan sighed. "Don't worry, Your Highness. Even if I can't become the wife of the Third Prince, I'll help you find that thing in Ning Zu 'an's study." She withdrew her beautiful eyes from the sky and turned to smile at Ao Chenyi. Ao Chenyi could not help but be stunned by her leisurely manner.
No one had ever been so comfortable in front of him. Anyone who took a look at him dared not to look at him again. The bloodthirsty aura that seemed to come from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was not something ordinary people could withstand. Even a general who had been through hundreds of battles had to bow down to him, not to mention a girl who was so weak that she could be blown away by the wind.
There was a little more interest in his charming eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor?"
He had said something similar before, but not in this way.
"Your Highness is under me. The Chu Kingdom will belong to you in the future. No one can stop you if you want to kill someone. Even if I don't do it now, it will be done in a few days. Why should I worry about it?" Ning Xueyan was silent for a while and said lightly.
"Oh, Ning Zu 'an is your father. Don't you worry about him?"
"I only know my mother. I don't know my father!" Ning Xueyan's long eyelashes flickered. Her eyes were cold and distant without any hesitation. Since she planned to use Ao Chenyi's power, she couldn't hesitate between the Lord Protector's Manor and Prince Yi. Moreover, she really had no feelings for the Lord Protector's Manor. Although she couldn't leave the Lord Protector's Manor now, she would slowly accumulate her strength.
Ao Chenyi's thin lips curved slightly. His black hair fell on his shoulders. He squinted at the cold girl in front of him with his slender eyes. "You want to leave the Lord Protector's Manor?"
"Yes, one day I'll leave!" Ning Xueyan answered honestly.
"You're so straightforward. Aren't you afraid that when I destroy the Lord Protector's Manor, I'll also destroy you?" Ao Chenyi found it more and more interesting. He looked at the girl in front of him with a hint of coldness. She was a girl with a strong personality. She treated the one she loved wholeheartedly and paid back the one she hated a hundred times!
In order to achieve her goal, she acted ruthlessly and decisively, even to herself!
Her character made him more and more interested!
"Your Highness, you won't. If you kill your own people, won't your subordinates be disappointed?" Ning Xueyan raised her eyes and slightly curved her lips. She looked up at Ao Chenyi. Her eyes were as clear as water, but deep and cold. Only she knew that she clenched her fists tightly in her long sleeves. Facing the temperamental Prince Yi, she didn't dare to take it lightly.
She carefully positioned herself in the position of Ao Chenyi's subordinate.
"Hehe …" He smiled slightly. His beautiful eyes were flowing with ripples of beauty. He leisurely raised his hand, picked up the wine pot on the side, and lazily poured a cup of wine. The thin red wine, like the color of blood, swirled in the glass. It was slightly tipped to his lips. His lips were brighter, with a touch of bloodthirst.
"You're so bold. How dare you threaten me? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you first? " Ao Chenyi's narrow and charming eyes flashed a little bit of surprise. This little girl surprised him more and more. She even dared to threaten him in her words. Although he didn't care about these threats, he applauded this little girl's courage.
His eyes fell on her palm-sized face, and then rested on her forehead for a while. Lanning was afraid that the wound would get infected, so she didn't comb her hair. Originally, she thought that no one would see it, so she simply combed it. Her exquisite facial features were completely exposed. Her forehead was red and swollen, which made her look more pitiful and delicate.
No matter from which angle, she looked like a delicate and delicate lady from a respectable family. But what she said and what she did were far from that of a delicate lady. If he didn't see with his own eyes that she fiercely bit her arm, Ao Chenyi wouldn't believe that such a girl could be so cruel.
"Your Highness, of course I'm afraid, but I'll still say it!"
"Oh, why?" Ao Chenyi raised his handsome eyes.
"Because Your Highness has a request, and so do I." Ning Xueyan looked directly at his beautiful face and completely confessed her worries, as if she didn't hide anything in front of Ao Chenyi.
Her words made Ao Chenyi burst into laughter again, "In fact, you can also beg the Third Prince. He may be more willing to serve you!"
"What the Third Prince does is his business. It has nothing to do with me!" Ning Xueyan said lightly. Looking at Madam Dowager's expression, it seemed that Ning Yuling didn't lose the last chance to be the wife of the Third Prince. It seemed that the Third Prince couldn't completely decide his own marriage.
