After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Jiang Xue Ning intended to build a maritime trade route to develop the commerce of Hunan and Chu, so after the succession ceremony, she and Gu Xingchen met many people together.

After finishing her work, she suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong. "Where are they?"

It seems like I haven’t seen Shen Zhaoyan for a day or two. Something is wrong.

Jing Yu added fuel to the fire with a sarcastic tone, "Maybe he went to meet Princess Doria secretly without telling you, and he has already returned to Feixian Valley."

Jiang Xue Ning frowned slightly, "What's going on? You just left without even saying hello."

"It is said that there are still some things in Feixian Valley. He went back to the valley to clean them up and will be back soon." Wu Jin said.

She had a hunch that something was wrong and that this was not his style, so she rode her horse straight to Feixian Valley.

It was sunset when we arrived, and the vast expanses of colorful datura were extremely beautiful under the sunset.

A herbalist was picking flowers in the field. When he saw him coming, he bowed and said, "Greetings, King Xiang."

"Do you know where the King of Yunzhou is?"

The young medicine boy was naive and pointed to the back mountain without giving it much thought and said, "He had a cold poison and medicine addiction at the same time, so he took a hot spring bath in the cave on the back mountain."

Jiang Xue Ning strode towards the direction he pointed, and soon found a huge stone cave on the back mountain. She stood at the door and said, "Shen Zhaoyan... Shen Zhaoyan..."

After calling out twice and getting no response, she strode in, worried about his condition.

There was a huge hot spring inside the cave. The hot steam made it impossible to see clearly what was going on. All I could see was clothes on the ground.

She approached little by little, "Shen Zhaoyan... Black-hearted glutinous rice balls, make a sound if you come back."

As they approached the hot spring pool, Shen Zhaoyan suddenly emerged from the water, causing a splash. She took two steps back and said unhappily, "I thought you were dead in there."

"I can't bear to die before I spend my wedding night with you."

When she looked over, what she saw was a thin figure with abdominal muscles and mermaid lines. She couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Shen Zhaoyan said in the hot spring with a half-smile, "Are you satisfied with what you saw?"

"I'm quite satisfied, but I don't know if it's just for show but not for use." She said calmly, without any shyness at all.

Shen Zhaoyan invited her with that face, "Would you like to come down and take a bath together?"

"No need, I don't have a cold constitution."

After confirming that the person was still alive and feasting her eyes on him, she stepped out and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

She sat outside and admired the beautiful sunset in the valley. What she didn't know was that as soon as she left, Shen Zhaoyan, who was holding on, fell into the hot spring, shivering all over and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

It was not until the sun went down that he struggled to get up, put on his clothes, and walked out, "Let's go down the mountain."

Having just finished soaking in the hot spring, his face was unusually rosy, but Jiang Xue Ning did not notice anything wrong.

Halfway through the walk, she reached out and held his hand, "Your steps are particularly floating today, and why are your hands so cold?"

Under the moonlight, the face was still pale and cold, and the redness from the hot spring had disappeared.

He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "I'm not in good condition, but I don't want you to worry too much."

He didn't want to hold her back, nor did he want to show his vulnerable side in front of so many people, so he went back to Feixian Valley to suppress his drug addiction.

This matter was somewhat related to Doria, so when he went to find Yaruo, Yaruo sent him the best witch doctor.

Jiang Xue Ning pulled him into the valley, "Don't let it happen again."

He asked, "Do you think I'm too weak?"

She glanced at his pale face and said, "I don't like those who are too strong. Someone like you who is both beautiful and sinister is just right."

Perhaps it was due to the trauma of her past life, she was afraid of the ropes after being bitten once. It was difficult for her to fall in love with such an ambitious man.

He was just the right type for her, and she knew that he was not truly weak. As the former prince of Shengjing, no one dared to mess with him.

He just put away his claws and showed weakness when he was in front of her, which she found very helpful.

She doesn't need a man who loves her and Jiangshan at the same time. She only needs a man like him who only loves her and not Jiangshan.

Shen Zhaoyan smiled cunningly, "As expected, you are attracted to me more because of my beauty and my face."

"Tsk, at least you have the nerve to let me draw you." Jiang Xue Ning looked at his face with satisfaction, "Love can be fake, but at least your face and figure are real."

"If I become ugly, won't you abandon me?"

"see your performance."

"Can't you just comfort me?"

"I don't get used to it..."

She could feel his hands getting colder and even trembling, so she pulled him and quickly returned to the valley.

Shen Zhaoyan felt cold and in pain, and felt as if ants were crawling all over his body. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

He covered her eyes with trembling hands, "Don't look at it, it's so ugly."

An old man came over and gave him a few injections without saying a word. Only then did he barely calm down. His face was as pale as if he had been dead for three days and three nights.

"I can't die, but I'm addicted."

Jiang Xue Ning asked worriedly, "What happened to him?"

The old man's name is Mo Lao. His medical skills are second to none in Chaoyun. He stroked his beard and said, "His own cold poison was stimulated by the excessive intake of Datura. The combination of the two is very difficult to endure."

"What's going on with Mandragora?"

Shen Zhaoyan said in a hoarse voice, "When Duo Liya saw me, I was seriously injured. She must have listened to Xue Chen and kept giving me an overdose of Datura, hoping to make me addicted and control me."

She understood instantly and whispered, "So, you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms now?"

This kind of addictive drug will cause you to go through a very difficult period of withdrawal once you start to quit.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at her with a firm expression and said, "Ningning, please leave the valley and let me quit on my own, okay? I don't want you to see me at my worst."

"it is good."

She agreed readily. Everyone has a side that they don't want others to see. This was his choice and she respected him.

Just like there have always been rumors that she is Gu Mingyue, she did not deliberately conceal it in front of him, nor did she explain it.

He never asked, out of respect, but also because he loved her for herself, and it had nothing to do with whether she was Gu Mingyue or Jiang Xue Ning.

She placed a cool kiss on his forehead and said, "I'm outside, waiting for you to go home together."

He didn't want her to see his bad side, so she stopped looking and walked away without looking back.

As soon as she left, he could no longer hold on and looked ferocious with pain.

Old Mo looked at his painful expression and said as he gave him an injection, "Withdrawal reactions are really ugly. It would be bad if they scared people away."

"She won't..."

It’s just that he didn’t want her to see him like this. Perhaps deep down, he was still the arrogant little prince.

Mo Lao mercilessly stabbed him in the chest with a needle, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's not unfair that I lost to Doria."

It was obvious at first glance that the two of them were suitable for each other and understood each other, so there was a tacit atmosphere between them.
