The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

The meal is over.

Ning Huaixuan was in a very good mood. Looking at Ji Ningqiu's gentle and considerate appearance, he sighed and said, "If Ji Mengshu was a third as good as you, I wouldn't dislike her so much."

She was very happy in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. Ji Ningqiu looked torn. "Your Majesty, please don't say that. Sister Mengshu is the legitimate daughter of the Ji family. She has been loved since she was a child. She can't stand your Majesty saying such things."

Ning Huaixuan snorted coldly, she was just relying on her status.

The lotus seed soup in the bowl gradually cooled down, but Ning Huaixuan felt even hotter inside his body. It was not until the warm fragrance of his daughter lingered in his nose and a pair of soft and boneless hands climbed on his shoulders that Ning Huaixuan suddenly came back to his senses.

He pulled Ji Ningqiu's wrist off, his face full of gloom, "What are you doing!"

"Brother Huaixuan...I..." When Ji Ningqiu put the drug in the soup, she never thought that Ning Huaixuan was drugged and still alert. When she was questioned, her face turned red, and she didn't care about the upbringing and manners of a lady for many years. "Brother Huaixuan, I like you. Ningqiu has always liked you."

"It's just nonsense."

Ji Ningqiu leaned forward and knelt on the ground, her hands resting on his knees, her pretty face showing a hint of shyness, but Ning Huaixuan had no interest in watching. "Brother Huaixuan, could it be that Brother Huaixuan likes Sister Mengshu?"

"This is a matter between me and her, Ji Ningqiu, you'd better recognize your own identity." Ning Huaixuan said this and left, and the whole side hall returned to its usual silence. Xiao Cui was guarding outside the hall, and when she saw Ning Huaixuan angrily leave the house, she stepped into the hall.

"Girl? The ground is wet and cold. Get up quickly, girl."

Ji Ningqiu smiled bitterly, his eyes dull, "Xiao Cui, did you hear me? His Majesty asked me to recognize my identity... Hahahaha, if I recognized my identity, how could Ji Mengshu enter the palace? If I recognized my identity, I would be suppressed by Ji Mengshu all my life!"

Outside Qianqing Palace.

Ji Mengshu hid behind the flower bed with Qingzhu. When they saw Ning Huaixuan coming out of the side hall angrily with the eunuch, they immediately exclaimed "tsk tsk" twice.

"It seems that Ji Ningqiu's ability is not very good. Ning Huaixuan has already entered the side hall. Can he come out again?"

The Red Leaf God stood behind the two of them without anyone noticing, and reminded them leisurely, "Young lady, I have told you so many times, don't address His Majesty by his name—"

"Oh - I get it. Besides, there are no outsiders here now." Ji Mengshu waved his hand, and the group turned around. They happened to see the dense branches above shaking twice due to the force. Looking up, they saw a figure dimly hidden among the dense leaves.

"Who is here?!" Hongye blocked Ji Mengshu and Qingzhu with his hand, and looked at the exposed man above with a vigilant look.

"Ahem, ahem, Sister Hongye, don't be angry, don't be angry." The black-clothed guard jumped down from the tree, scratching his head with an embarrassed look on his face. He was just watching a joke just now, how could he be discovered without paying attention? If the prince knew about this, he would definitely punish him.

"It's you." Ji Mengshu looked around and saw that no one was around, so he quickly pulled the person into the hall. "It's only been a few days, could it be that there's another letter?"

The black-clad guard was speechless. He had never thought that he would be discovered by a few women without martial arts skills, so he had not prepared any words. If he told the truth - the prince sent two people to deliver the letter, Ning San took the reply back, and he was ordered by the prince to stay to protect the girl from the Ji family...

Ning Erbai was scratching his head. The prince hadn't taught him how to deal with it before...

"I'm asking you a question? Are you mute?" Hongye looked at Ning Er warily. Her young lady was kind-hearted, and as a maid, she couldn't let the merchants outside deceive the young lady.

"No... there is no letter..." Ning Er had never lied to a girl before, and he stuttered, "Yes... I... have never seen the palace. Come and see."

Ji Mengshu raised his hand, "It's not important. You have nothing to do right now, why don't you do us a favor?"

Ning Er suddenly knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and looked like he was ready to go through fire and water, "I am willing to serve you."

Red Leaf:...

Behind the harem wall, the deserted land was overgrown with weeds. Ning Er looked at the low wall and asked again, "Miss Ji, are you sure you want to leave the palace?"

Ji Mengshu looked at the low wall. In his previous life, he had some knowledge of the layout of the guards in the palace. This place was next to the cold palace, so the guards were much more extensive. He nodded immediately, "As far as I know, the guards here are the weakest. Of course, we have to climb over the wall here."

Qingzhu tried to jump. This low wall was only slightly lower than other walls in the palace, but still higher than her. "Girl, Qingzhu can't climb over it..."

Ning Er glanced at the low wall and said, "Miss Ji, if you can trust me, I know a rarely visited palace path."

Hongye was kept behind. There was no imperial decree for her to leave the palace this time, and she could not stay away from the palace for too long. Ning Er took Ji Mengshu and Qingzhu and left the palace before the palace gates were locked.

The markets in the city were almost closed, and Ji Mengshu finally found an inn to rest, and then hurriedly thought about what he should do after leaving the palace.

"Qingzhu, go to the outskirts of the city tomorrow and see if there are any vacant houses."

"Girl, what are we doing looking at the house?"

What to do? It was already autumn. According to the experience in the previous life, the princes of various places were ready to make moves under the suppression of the emperor. Ning Huaixuan was anxious to take back power. Her father had been assassinated several times in the previous life. Although her Ji family was not born of military generals and could not recruit soldiers, they always had to have some means of self-protection.

Since I can predict the future this time, I naturally cannot let what happened in my previous life happen again.

It is inconvenient to enter and exit the Ji Mansion, so there must be a place where no one knows about it.

"Qingzhu, just do as I say."

The next morning, Ji Mengshu had to get up early, opened the window and looked at the bustling market outside. This was the only bustle she had experienced since leaving the palace.

Colosseum.

Ji Mengshu covered her face with a veil, with Ning Er beside her, sitting around the Colosseum watching the game between humans and ferocious beasts.

Rather than calling it a fighting arena, it is better to call it a slave trading arena. Slaves from all over the world gathered here. As long as they could survive in the arena, they might be bought by wealthy families in the capital as assassins. Their value was much higher than that of ordinary slaves, and the owner of the arena could also make a fortune.

Ning Er stood behind him, looking at the bloody scene of the slave being dismembered and eaten below the stage, and frowned slightly, "This man is too skilled, and risking his life is not the way to defeat this beast."
