Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Seeing the water sink suddenly submerging the girl's head, the man in black was slightly stunned.

The water in the pond carries the chill of mid-spring, which is also a way to dispel the effects of the foul medicine.

But after waiting for a quarter of an hour, the water was still calm.

His expression instantly cracked and his eyes widened.

He passed by in time, so those four people didn't succeed, right?

No way? Is this woman really that hot-tempered?

I originally thought she wanted to detoxify, but it turns out she wanted to commit suicide by drowning?

He frowned, but still went into the water.

The pool is more than one person deep and visibility in the water is very low.

He sneaked in, but saw no one. He looked around and seemed to see a hint of blue in the northwest corner.

When I swam closer, I saw that the girl had her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and tiny bubbles were coming out from under her nose.

Just as he was about to swim over and pick the person up, the girl opened her eyes with a hint of sharpness in her gaze.

Yan Xining gave himself a few more injections in the water, and with the help of the cold water, he neutralized the effects of the foul medicine. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt someone approaching.

Before she could see who was coming, she still made a quick move, turning her palm into a sword and sliding towards the man's neck.

The man in black stretched out his hand to block her wrist.

After receiving the attack, Yan Xining saw who was coming and immediately restrained the expression in his eyes and stepped back.

The man in black also stepped back a little.

The girl stepped on the water and surfaced.

The man in black also surfaced.

Among the green lotus leaves, the girl's black hair is spread out, and there are water droplets on her face. The clear water reflects her like a lotus emerging from the water.

She wiped the water droplets off her face and was very puzzled: "You don't have any Chinese medicine, why did you go into the water?"

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes but still replied, "I thought you were drowning!"

He remembered that when he was being chased, he passed by a courtyard of Prince An's Mansion and saw this face. It should be a female member of the Prince An's Mansion.

Could it be that those ladies from wealthy families could actually swim?

Since she can swim, it would be unnecessary for him to go into the water.

Fortunately, there was no one in the yard, otherwise, a man and a woman alone, wet together, would get out and ruin her reputation.

"Sorry, it was an instinctive reaction!" Yan Xining apologized without much sincerity.

The black-robed man didn't respond. He pushed hard with his feet, paddled his hands, and quickly reached the shore: "Since you're okay, you can probably get back by yourself! I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Yan Xining's response.

Yan Xining slowly emerged from the water, feeling uncomfortable in her wet clothes. She wrung out the water from her clothes and picked up the purse she had thrown on the shore. She estimated her direction and climbed up the courtyard wall.

Since we can’t walk on the ground now, let’s just climb over the wall and go back.

Today, she owes that man a favor. When she finds out the secret of Meishanlou, she will repay his favor.

Also, I suffered a small loss today, and I have to settle this account.

When she returned to Qingwu Courtyard, Bingyu was walking hurriedly with a pot of tea. When she looked up, she saw Yan Xining, who was half wet and seemed to be covered with water plants. She was so scared that her hand shook and the tray fell over.

Yan Xining was quick-witted and picked up the teapot with one hand and grabbed the tray with the other: "Tsk, be careful, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

Bingyu swallowed hard before she regained her voice: "Miss, you're wet..."

Yan Xining stuffed the tray back into her hands, put the teapot on top, and tapped her forehead with his finger: "Do you want to listen to what you said?"

"Miss Xiaoxiao, what happened? You, you fell into the water?"

"Yeah, I climbed up again! Don't make a fuss, can't you see I'm fine?"

Bingyu hurriedly placed the tray on the stone table next to her. "Miss, please go inside first. There's hot water in the kitchenette. Take a shower to get rid of the dampness, or you'll get sick!"

Bingyu went there in a hurry.

After bathing, Yan Xining casually asked, "Is there anything going on in the mansion today?"

Bingyu came in with tea and snacks and said, "That Imperial Physician Qi is here again. It seems he's here to check the prince's pulse as a routine procedure!"

"Oh!" Yan Xining stood up immediately.

"Miss, didn't you say you were hungry? Don't you want to eat? Also, your hair is not dry yet. I'll dry it and comb it for you first!"

"I'm going to Qiyunyuan to take a look and will be back soon!"

When Bingyu heard that they were going to Qiyunyuan, she immediately smiled and said, "Miss, you should take the initiative!"

Yan Xining turned around: "What?"

Bingyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. Miss, please go first. I will make you some tea later!"

The two courtyards were several hundred meters apart. Yan Xining walked quickly. When she reached the gate, she saw Jing Feng standing at the door. Seeing that she wanted to go in, Jing Feng stepped forward and blocked her way: "Princess, the prince is taking a bath. Do you want to go in now?"

"Forget it! It's nothing anyway!" That Imperial Physician Qi comes here once a month and never finds anything. Maybe the drama in the palace was so realistic today that the palace asked him to come and take the pulse.

I don’t know if he really couldn’t tell it was poison, or if he was intentionally saying it was just a congenital deficiency.

Yan Xining turned around and left, as decisively as when he came.

Jingfeng paused, turned around and went back, but did not enter the yard. Instead, he walked to the side and back, where was the study.

Inside the door, on the table was a thousand-year-old ginseng, placed in an exquisite box, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

Wu Yuxing was reporting, "Something went wrong with Qinzhou's business, and I have to go there personally to handle it. Yuan Xiao is a capable person. Although he hasn't been in the capital long, he has become quite familiar with me during this time. He can handle many things on his own. Why not promote him to Second Steward?"

Chu Jinxun stood in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back. "Qinzhou is the territory of Ningshan Hou. He's probably been a local tyrant for too long and thinks Ningshan is the only one in the world. It's good for you to go there and touch him!"

"Yes!"

"You can mobilize the entire Qinzhou manpower at your disposal, but be careful!"

"Master, don't worry. Although Ningshan Hou is the local tyrant over there, our Yuding Pavilion has been passed down from generation to generation for nearly a hundred years. We are not afraid of him!" After saying this, he glanced at Chu Jinxun and said, "Master, do you really not intend to fight for the capital?"

"What's the rush? Let's muddy the waters and watch the show! It doesn't matter who is in that position, but the souls who died in vain twenty years ago must be explained!" There was a sadness in the depths of Chu Jinxun's eyes. "One hundred thousand loyal souls, a whole family of old and young, only one orphan girl is left. Loyal ministers are sad, and righteous men are crying blood! The truth can't be given by others, so we will fight for it ourselves!"

Wu Yuxing's face turned serious, his eyes and lips trembling, he clasped his hands together and said, "We will follow the master's orders!"

At this time, Jingfeng's voice was heard outside.

"Master, the princess came just now and left again!"

"Ok!"

Jingfeng left.

Chu Jinxun took a book from the bookshelf, opened it, and found a map inside.

He walked to the table, unfolded the map, and beckoned Wu Yuxing over. "Ah Xing, this is the map of Ningshan Marquis's Mansion and the distribution of forces that Yuding Pavilion sent me earlier. Take a look at it and see if you have any ideas. Take it with you when you leave tomorrow!"

Seeing that Chu Jinxun was ready for a long conversation, Wu Yuxing asked, "Master, aren't you going to see the princess?"
