After rebirth, the little junior sister’s salty life

Ever since the last flower-viewing banquet, Qing Ning, disguised as the Second Prince, has once again fallen into a life of keeping the door closed and not leaving the house.

Many officials in the Jiangnan region were eager to meet the mysterious Second Prince, but every time their requests were ruthlessly rejected! Liu Peng also didn't want the Second Prince to meet other officials at this time, so he could only try his best to send away those officials who tried to meet the Second Prince.

However, something worrying happened in North City and West City at this moment. According to rumors, someone there was infected with a terrible disease, which was highly contagious and spread very quickly! As soon as the news came out, the whole city fell into panic.

People hid in their huts and no one dared to go out for fear of being infected by the disease. The streets were deserted and the once bustling market became deserted.

Although the government took emergency measures, the results were not satisfactory. In order to prevent those people from escaping, the government not only blocked the gates of the West City, but also took more extreme measures, seemingly intending to let them fend for themselves.

However, these innocent people did not sit still and wait for death. In order to survive, they desperately rushed against the tightly closed city gate, hoping to find a ray of hope. Unfortunately, the city gate was too strong and it was difficult for them to break through it with their own strength.

At the same time, Fu Jingheng, who escaped from North City, knew nothing about what was happening in West City. This sudden epidemic was like a nightmare, ruthlessly taking away the lives of many people.

Meanwhile, Qing Ning was nervously collecting information in Hu's mansion. Hu Haotian's study seemed calm, but in fact, it hid countless secrets. Even as a close confidant of the emperor, Hu Haotian had reserved a way out for himself, just in case.

Qing Ning tightly grasped the letters in her hands. These letters contained not only correspondence between many officials, but also irrefutable evidence of their corruption and abuse of power!

"So that's how it is! It seems this guy is not clean either! There are detailed records of the large amount of gold and silver he received. No wonder his mansion is so luxurious! The officialdom in the Jiangnan region is really dark. Officials usually collude with each other, shield and condone each other. When nothing goes wrong, they are all in harmony. Once something goes wrong, they save their lives and flee in all directions!"

Now that the evidence has been basically collected, I believe Fu Jingheng should be about ready as well. It's time to end this operation!

After leaving Hu Haotian's study, Qing Ning slowly returned to her room. She sat quietly by the bed, thinking about her next plan. She had to find a way to leave the Hu Mansion. It was no longer useful for her to stay in the Hu Mansion.

She stood up, walked to the window, and gently pushed it open. The bright moon was hanging high outside the window, casting a cool light. Just as she was immersed in the moonlight, suddenly, a dark shadow broke into her room like a ghost and quickly covered her mouth.

At the same time, a powerful force attacked her, and a palm hit her neck fiercely. Qing Ning's heart paused, but she did not resist. Instead, she cleverly cooperated with the other party's movements and pretended to be unconscious.

Lvliu, who was helping Qingning wash up, happened to see this scene. She saw a figure carrying Qingning and running away at an astonishing speed. Lvliu was terrified and immediately shouted loudly!

This sudden change alarmed the guards in the mansion. They all rushed over after hearing the news. However, the black-clothed man's martial arts were obviously unfathomable, and the guards' attacks had no effect on him, and they could not stop him from leaving with Qing Ning.

When Hu Haotian heard the noise, he rushed out of the room in a panic. When he saw his beloved woman being abducted, he was immediately furious! His eyes widened, his face was full of anger, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. He was determined to find Qing Ning at all costs and protect her safety.

"Sir, what should we do? The girl has been captured!" Lvliu's voice was filled with fear and anxiety, trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes. These days, she has been with Qingning day and night, and she has long regarded this kind and gentle woman as the future mistress of the house.

Miss Qing Ning was always so kind and gentle to the servants, never criticizing them, and won the love of everyone in the mansion. Now, such a gentle woman had suffered such a bad fate and was forcibly abducted. Lv Liu was filled with self-blame and guilt.

However, Lvliu didn't know that what she saw was just the side of Qingning that Qingning intentionally showed them. Under that gentle and kind appearance, there were hidden secrets and schemes that were unknown to others.

"I'll go out and bring her back!" Hu Haotian's face was shrouded in a haze, and his eyes flashed with determination. He decided to go out in person to find that person, because only that person had the ability to help him find her.

Qing Ning vaguely felt that she was placed on a bed in a room. The bed beneath her was unusually soft, like a cloud. At this moment, she suddenly felt a gentle hand slowly caressing her cheek. This touch made her feel disgusted, and she secretly made up her mind to chop off this hand later!

"What good is it for such a beautiful girl to follow that cold, ruthless, and unromantic ice cube? It would be better for her to follow me!" When Qing Ning heard this voice, she immediately identified the speaker. It turned out that this person was the owner of those dead waiters, Fu Jingheng's uncle, and a hidden chess piece carefully arranged by His Majesty the Emperor.

Just when Qing Ning was about to move, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door!

"Your Highness, Lord Hu requests to see you!" A guard's respectful announcement came from outside the door.

Qing Ning paused in her heart. She didn't expect Hu Haotian to come to the prince for help! She didn't think he knew she was here so quickly! They were both the emperor's men, so they must know each other, so he came to find help!

"You came to help so quickly. It seems that you are very important to him!" The prince chuckled, then stood up and walked towards the door without looking back.

As the door opened and closed, the room returned to silence. Qing Ning slowly opened her eyes and began to carefully look around.

The room was decorated very elegantly, with several landscape paintings hanging on the wall, a guqin placed by the window, and several books on the table. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. It seemed that this prince was also a person who liked to enjoy himself!

In the front hall, the prince walked leisurely to the hall. Seeing Hu Haotian standing in the middle, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and said: "Oh? What brings Lord Hu here? What do you want to see me for?"

Hu Haotian did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly stepped forward, performed a standard salute first, and then respectfully stated his purpose: "Your Majesty, I came here today to ask for something."

The prince raised his eyebrows, looked at him with interest, and asked, "Oh? What is so important that you would trouble Lord Hu to come here in person?"

Hu Haotian took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly said: "Hu wants to ask the prince for a favor!"

There was a hint of doubt in the prince's eyes, but he still asked, "What help?"

Hu Haotian gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, and finally uttered four words: "Find someone, find a girl..."

"A girl? Interesting. Tell me, what kind of girl is it that makes Lord Hu so worried?" The prince raised his eyebrows and said softly with a playful smile on his lips.

Lord Hu took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "In reply to your Highness, this girl's name is Qing Ning, she is 28 years old, and she is beautiful and charming..."

He described Qing Ning's facial features in detail, trying to give the prince a clearer impression of her.

The prince nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. "Okay, I will do my best to help you find this Miss Qing Ning, but you should also know that finding someone is not easy and it will definitely take some time. I hope Lord Hu will wait patiently." The prince said earnestly.

"Thank you, Your Highness! I am extremely grateful! As long as we can find Miss Qing Ning, I am willing to give it any amount of time and effort." Lord Hu bowed hurriedly, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Well, in that case, I will do my best at this moment to live up to Lord Hu's trust." The prince patted his chest confidently.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!" After Lord Hu thanked him again, he turned and left.

However, what he didn't know was that after he left, the prince's expression changed and his eyes became cold!
