Adhere to the gentleman's principles

The carriage that Zhao Junning was riding in slowly arrived in front of the Pingliang city gate. Li Ziyan had already stood there, looking forward to it. When the carriage stopped, Fuling, Gancao, Xu Zhiwan and Li Yu'an, who was in his arms, got off the carriage one by one, but Zhao Junning was nowhere to be seen.

Li Ziyan's heart tightened, and he hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Mom, where is Jun Ning? Why didn't she come down?" Xu Zhiwan shook her head slightly and gestured for him to look at the carriage. Li Ziyan opened the curtain of the carriage in confusion, and saw Zhao Jun Ning leaning against the wall quietly, with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Seeing this, Li Ziyan frowned and called out softly with concern: "Jun Ning..." However, Zhao Jun Ning did not respond. Xu Zhiwan sighed softly, patted Li Ziyan on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, go back home first, and I will slowly tell you in detail after returning."

Although Li Ziyan was full of worry, he knew that it was not appropriate to ask too much at this time, so he nodded and helped Zhao Junning back to the mansion with Xu Zhiwan. Along the way, his eyes never left Zhao Junning's pale face, and he secretly prayed that she would be fine.

At the mansion, Xu Zhiwan told Li Ziyan in detail why Zhao Junning was unconscious. Li Ziyan turned to look at Zhao Junning lying on the bed, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

At this time, Mo Yu came running over and said breathlessly: "Sir, the fifth princess and an old man are waiting outside the door."

When Li Ziyan heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "The Fifth Princess must have a way to treat it, please come quickly."

Soon, Xiao Yule and the old man were led into the mansion. Li Ziyan hurried forward and bowed to Xiao Yule first, then cast his eyes on the old man and asked in surprise, "It's you?"

The old man bowed slightly and replied, "I once said that I have a great affinity with your wife."

Li Ziyan asked anxiously, "Are you sure you can cure my wife?"

The Herb Doctor shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, "I can't guarantee it."

After entering the house, Baicao Yixian immediately took out the silver needles and gently pierced several acupuncture points on Zhao Junning's body. After a moment, he stopped, looked at Zhao Junning, and said softly: "I have already given her the needles. She will have a long dream next, but whether she is willing to wake up in the end depends on her own will. After all, judging from her current condition, it seems that she has experienced something extraordinary."

At that time, Zhao Junning, in her dream, was dressed in white, walking in a void like a fairy. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, breaking the silence. She turned around slowly, and the void around her instantly turned into a bustling and lively street.

"Jun Ning, Jun Ning! You're finally back! Do you know that I almost won the competition yesterday? Can you come and help me today?" Yuan Xinghui held Zhao Jun Ning's hand tightly and pleaded in a delicate voice.

Zhao Junning looked at Yuan Xinghui in front of her, her heart filled with joy, tears streaming down her cheeks. She responded softly, "Okay, okay."

However, at this moment, another voice came into my ears again: "Jun Ning, why are you wearing so thin? Come back quickly, it's already autumn now, you can't wear such thin clothes. Even if you are a martial artist, you shouldn't be so careless."

Zhao Junning looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Meng Xiangning. Before Meng Xiangning could continue to speak, Zhao Junning rushed forward like a bird flying into the forest, hugged Meng Xiangning tightly, and called out affectionately: "Mom, I miss you so much!"

Zhao Junning felt that she must have entered the underworld to see her dead mother and Yuan Xinghui.

Meng Xiangning was stunned by Zhao Junning's hug. She looked at the young man in front of her with some surprise, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: "Are you stupid? I just saw you coming out to look for Xing Hui today, and you miss me again after not seeing you for a while."

Seeing this, Yuan Xinghui came forward, gently patted Zhao Junning's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Aunt, Junning, it feels like a long time since we last met."

Meng Xiangning smiled helplessly, reached out and touched Zhao Junning's head, and said gently: "Okay, okay, don't cry. You, a princess, can't cry."

However, Zhao Junning seemed to have not heard it, and still stood there blankly. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the plaque above her head - Prince's Mansion. These three words flashed through her mind like a flash of lightning, and she woke up instantly.

"Princess?" Zhao Junning murmured to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief. She seemed to be in a dream, unable to distinguish reality from fantasy. Could it be that she had returned to her previous life?

Her thoughts became confused, and memories of her past life kept flashing through her mind. The pain, sadness, and regrets she had experienced surged into her heart like a tide, making her feel suffocated.

Zhao Junning clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She told herself that this must be a nightmare, and everything would return to normal as long as she woke up. However, when she looked around again, she found that everything here was so real, without any trace of falsehood.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Since fate had arranged for her to return to this place, she had to face the past bravely. In this life, she wanted to change her fate and not repeat the same mistakes...

At this time, another shout came: "The young marquis is here!" Meng Xiangning greeted enthusiastically. Zhao Junning turned around and saw Li Ziyan walking over with a smile on his face. Li Ziyan bowed to Meng Xiangning first, and then Meng Xiangning joked: "You two, you are about to get married, but you are still so intimate."

Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan with a puzzled look, and Li Ziyan joked: "Why, do you regret it? That won't do, you are a princess, you can't go back on your word, this young marquis will marry you!"

Zhao Junning stared at Li Ziyan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could he still be so stupid in this life. At this time, Li Ziyan said again: "Junning, look at the clothes I'm wearing today, is it good-looking?"

Zhao Junning cast his eyes on what Li Ziyan was wearing. He was wearing a blue wide-sleeved shirt, with his hair half-tied up with a sapphire-colored hair accessory. A few strands of hair in front of his forehead casually fell on his face. He was already extraordinarily handsome, and with this outfit he looked even more suave and dignified.

Yuan Xinghui chuckled and said to Li Ziyan in a teasing tone, "Young Marquis, you are showing off in front of Jun Ning again."

Hearing this, Li Ziyan couldn't help but cough lightly, seeming a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly retorted: "What, what do you mean by opening the screen? Don't talk nonsense!"

However, at this moment, another voice suddenly came to Zhao Junning's ears: "Junning, wake up." This voice was exactly the same as Li Ziyan's before, but the tone seemed very anxious.

Zhao Junning couldn't help but frown and muttered to herself: "What's going on? Am I hallucinating?" She tried hard to open her eyes, trying to see the situation around her clearly.
