If she could get what she wanted and take revenge in the future, she would only marry an ordinary person and live a simple life. If she had no children, she could imagine how miserable her future would be. First, she had no children, and then she would die. Except for Madam Ling, she couldn't think of anyone else who would hate her so much.
No wonder Madam Ling seemed to be very stable these days. It turned out that Madam Ling had already trapped her. Madam Ling just needed to quietly wait for her to weaken step by step and die slowly. Even if she didn't die and had no children, her future would be …
"Fifth Young Lady, have you taken a precious pill?" Aunt Xiang reached out her hand again. It seemed that she couldn't see clearly just now. This time she put her hand on Ning Xueyan's wrist for a longer time. She suddenly asked in confusion.
Pill. Ning Xueyan inexplicably thought of Ao Chenyi's pill. Her heart couldn't help but jump, "Yes, I have taken one."
"Fifth Young Lady, do you still have that pill? It's quite suitable for you. If you can take it several times for a long time, most of the remaining poison in your body can be detoxified." Aunt Xiang put down Ning Xueyan's wrist and looked at her seriously, "There is a very precious medicine in this pill. Even the imperial palace doesn't have it. Although I know the prescription of detoxification, it's all in vain without that medicine."
"If you don't take this medicine, what will happen if the remaining poison in your body is not detoxified?" Ning Xueyan asked softly.
"If you don't take this medicine, the remaining poison in your body will not be detoxified. It will be difficult for you to have children in the future, and you won't live long!" Aunt Xiang looked extremely sad and indignant. Even if it was discovered early, the damage to her body had already been done. It was not a matter that could be solved overnight.
It seemed that in order to survive, she had to find Ao Chenyi. Ning Xueyan sighed helplessly.
"Fifth Young Lady, although I'm willing to help you, I'm afraid I can't leave Honored Consort Ya and you for the time being. But when I go out of the palace occasionally, you can learn how to make incense from me. What do you think?" Aunt Xiang had made up her mind at this time. The Fifth Young Lady in front of her was not only the daughter of Madam Ming, but also the familiar facial features made her want to help her involuntarily.
She was now the maid of Honored Consort Ya. She couldn't leave Honored Consort Ya to follow Ning Xueyan openly, so she could only help Ning Xueyan in private!
She entered the palace and became the confidant of Honored Consort Ya, which involved a lot of people. She didn't want to be involved in too much.
"Thank you, aunt! Maybe I'll need Aunt to help me tomorrow! " Ning Xueyan said very straightforwardly. There was some indescribable charm in her smile, which made Aunt Xiang, who was frowning, feel a little gratified. Compared with Madam Ming's resignation, the Fifth Young Lady was much better! If Madam Ming's spirit in heaven knew about this, she would be relieved.
"Alright, I will definitely help you in secret!"
Ning Xueyan didn't expect Aunt Xiang to abandon Honored Consort Ya immediately and stay with her. She knew what kind of person Honored Consort Ya was after chatting with her for a while today. Such a person couldn't tolerate others' betrayal. If Aunt Xiang agreed to abandon Honored Consort Ya immediately and stay with Ning Xueyan, it would actually bring disaster to both of them.
Aunt Xiang's approach was in line with Ning Xueyan's thoughts. On the one hand, it could be seen that Madam Ming and Aunt Xiang had an unusual relationship. On the other hand, it could be seen that Aunt Xiang was not a reckless person. Ning Xueyan needed such a person.
After parting with Aunt Xiang, Ning Xueyan walked alone on the path of the temple, thinking about what to do next. The night was warm and the autumn wind was rustling. Fortunately, the moon was still bright and shone brightly on her head.
"It's so late. Fifth Young Lady, you still don't sleep. Are you also unable to sleep like me?" Under a big tree in front of her, a handsome man in a light blue brocade robe appeared in front of Ning Xueyan. He was gently waving a folding fan in his hand. In this light autumn season, it would only make people feel that he was flashy. Coupled with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, he had the image of a romantic prodigal son.
How could this person appear here? Did he see the scene just now?!
"I lost an ornament and am looking for it. Sorry to bother you!" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly and didn't answer Wen Xueran's words. She declined with a little alienation in the corners of her mouth.
Wen Xueran, the Crown Prince of Commandery Prince Min, had always been rich and beautiful in the capital city. He was the most famous handsome man in the capital city. Not only did he have a good family background, but he was also good-looking. He was a good son-in-law in the eyes of many young ladies, but not Ning Xueyan.
In the night, he wore a brocade robe, which was wide and elegant. The cuffs were embroidered with purple auspicious cloud patterns. Between his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, he looked romantic. His slightly raised peach blossom eyes, coupled with his handsome face, made people unable to ignore his existence.
This man had grown up to be a source of calamity! He really looked like a playboy in the capital city. But who would have thought that he was also a ruthless person? You really couldn't judge a book by its cover!
In her previous life, when Ning Xueyan met Wen Xueran for the first time, she had just arrived in the capital city. Looking from afar, she saw a luxurious carriage and a horse. The one who caused the cheers of young girls on both sides and blocked the road was Wen Xueran, the eldest son of Commandery Prince Min.
The second time they met was in this Cold Mountain Temple. That night, Wen Xueran, who had black hair, was completely different from his usual romantic and elegant image. He held a sword, pointed at her chest coldly, and interrogated her about the whereabouts of a nun. But she didn't know anything at that time. At that moment, the killing intent in his eyes made her think that she would die.
But in the end, he disappeared without saying a word …
"What did the Fifth Young Lady lose? Why don't I help you find it?" Wen Xueran walked over leisurely with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. His eyes were shining. He looked at Ning Xueyan in a good mood and felt that it was quite interesting. All the young ladies in the capital city were shy and sad when they saw him. Since when did a girl become so alert when she saw him?
It was the first time, and it was the second time. He didn't remember that he had any contact with the Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor.
She just stood there quietly, with a touch of alienation on her calm face. She frowned slightly and then turned away naturally without any uneasiness, shyness, or coquettishness. It was as if she regarded him as nothing.
"Thank you, Your Highness. It's just a worthless thing. If you can't find it, forget it. I don't dare to bother you." Ning Xueyan nodded with a faint smile. It was just an excuse to avoid arousing suspicion by showing up here in the middle of the night. This seemingly affectionate Crown Prince Min was really not an easy person to get along with. Was it really a coincidence that he showed up here alone in the middle of the night?
His body unconsciously turned and walked towards another path, avoiding the path that Wen Xueran appeared on.
"Isn't it an important accessory? Every item of a girl's family is important. I have nothing to do now, so I might as well help the Fifth Young Lady to find it. " However, this extremely handsome man didn't seem to notice Ning Xueyan's refusal at all. There was a slight smile in his tone, which sounded like a spring breeze.
He even turned to the path where Ning Xueyan turned, which meant that he wanted to go with Ning Xueyan!
Ning Xueyan frowned slightly. She didn't expect that she couldn't get rid of this Crown Prince! She stopped and said seriously, "Please wait, Your Highness. I don't dare to trouble you. If someone sees us and gossips come out, it may not be a problem for you, but it will be a big problem for Xueyan."
The world had always been tolerant of men. When a man and a woman met privately under the moon, they would only say it was romantic. Especially for a handsome childe like Wen Xueran, it would make people think that he was affectionate.
But it was not the same for women. In Ning Xueyan's previous life, Madam Ling and her daughter accused her of having an affair with another man. Although the reason was obviously fake, Madam Ling and her daughter took it seriously. So she was drowned in the lotus pond, which was why Madam Ling and her daughter could rob her of her marriage.
Now she was Ning Xueyan. If she made any mistakes, Madam Ling wouldn't spare her, even if she was the daughter of the Lord Protector's Manor's wife.
Wen Xueran didn't expect that Ning Xueyan would avoid him like this, and that she would say it directly in front of him. He couldn't help but become more and more speechless. He waved the folding fan in his hand and looked at her pursing her pale lips and lowering her eyes. She looked very respectful, but it couldn't hide the faint but firm light at the corner of his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and nodded, signaling Ning Xueyan to leave.
He didn't entangle with her and walked to another path.
Seeing that he didn't chase after her, Ning Xueyan didn't say anything more and turned to leave. It was better not to stay in a place of trouble for a long time.
When she returned to her courtyard, Lanning had been waiting far away. Seeing her coming, she was relieved. Originally, she was going to follow Ning Xueyan, but Ning Xueyan said that the less people went, the less likely it was to be discovered, so she stayed. After closing the courtyard door, she followed Ning Xueyan into the room and asked in a low voice, "Miss, how is it?"
In the corridor, Qingyu was still decocting medicine. Seeing Ning Xueyan coming, she also stood up and whispered.
Ning Xueyan stopped, stood beside the medicine pot, and sniffed. There was no smell. In fact, the smell was very light. You could only smell it when it was hot. When it was cold, you couldn't smell it no matter how good your nose was. The medicine brought by the maids was usually a little cold. If it hadn't been an occasional opportunity, Ning Xueyan wouldn't have suspected it.
It was just that she was not good at smelling and recognizing the fragrance. She just subconsciously felt that something was wrong. After Aunt Xiang said so, she knew what it was.
"Was this medicine sent by Madam Dowager?" The medicine was prescribed by Master Mingyue in the temple, but the medicine was sent by Madam Dowager. Now it seemed that Madam Ling's people also worked for Madam Dowager, and these medicinal materials had been tampered with when they were sent to her.
"Yes, the medicine was sent by Xiang Miao, who worked for Madam Dowager. It was sent by Huanlan, the second-class maid in charge of the warehouse of Xiangfu Courtyard. When we entered the temple, we didn't bring much medicine. Later, we used it up, and Miss didn't let us ask for more from the mansion. After Madam Dowager came, she knew that we didn't have medicine, so she sent the medicinal materials."
