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

Ning Er was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only turn his head to look at Ji Mengshu, who pulled the angry Qingzhu back and asked, "Your master came to the imperial city?"

After getting a positive answer, Ji Mengshu panicked. As a vassal king, why was he coming to the capital instead of staying in his fiefdom?

The carriage stopped steadily outside a small inn. Ji Mengshu, wearing a veiled hat, went into the inn under the guidance of Ning Er.

The inn is in a remote location with beautiful scenery, but the accommodation environment is not very good. Ning Rongzhang is a prince, and he has to live in such a place so aggrievedly?

Hongye Qingzhu and Ning Er were guarding outside. Ning Rongzhang heard the noise upstairs and saw Ji Mengshu as soon as he opened the door.

The person appeared in front of him so suddenly that Ning Rongzhang's heart beat faster.

"You, you're here?" He stared at the person for a long time before realizing that the person was still outside the door. He quickly invited the person in, and with a "click", he locked Ning Er outside the door.

Ning Er: It’s been a long time since we last met. Master, don’t you miss me?

"When did you come to Beijing? Why did you rush to see me? Is there something important?" Ji Mengshu sat down under the closed window and lifted up her white veil, revealing a face that was enough to haunt people's dreams.

Of course he had something to say, but she didn't know his identity yet, so she couldn't tell him directly. So she took out the bills she brought with her, "Miss Ji, please take a look."

The bills are all about Xijiang Yanzhi’s profits.

However, he did not buy many shops in the capital, which greatly reduced the real estate and personnel expenses. He consigned his rouge to various shops in the city. Although it was not a long-term solution, it could still make enough profit in a short period of time.

"After discussing with Miss Ji in the letter last time, I brought the Western Xinjiang rouge to the capital, and it is selling like hot cakes right now." Ning Rongzhang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

I secretly observed Ji Mengshu's expression, and when I saw that there was no fluctuation in his expression, I finally felt relieved.

"You are a businessman. I believe that your decisions are all made after careful consideration." After getting a share of the rouge profits, it seemed that there was nothing left to say.

Ji Mengshu stood up and was about to say goodbye.

Ning Rongzhang quickly grabbed the person, and after touching Ji Mengshu's sleeve and wrist, he let go as if he had been electrocuted, "I am sorry for being rude, but I heard that the young lady has been in the palace for a while?"

Ning Er is his, doesn’t he know?

Ji Mengshu nodded, but did not blame him for his abrupt behavior. She asked, "Young Master is a wealthy businessman in Western Xinjiang, so he must have a lot of things to deal with. This rouge matter is not a big deal. Why did you come all the way to the capital? Do you want to take care of it yourself?"

"This..." Ning Rongzhang's mind was always quick, and his words were somewhat euphemistic. "I'm not a wealthy businessman, I just run a small business. Although the business in the capital is small, I can't take it lightly. Besides, I can feel more at ease if I do it myself, so I'm here."

"I see." Ji Mengshu sat on the small chair a little tiredly, and reminded him in various ways, "My lord, have you paid attention to political affairs in Western Xinjiang? I heard in the palace that His Majesty successively deposed the two vassal kings of Qiannan. I wonder what the purpose is?"

Royal affairs have always been taboo among the people. Even if someone wants to discuss them, they have to do so in private.

Ning Rongzhang pondered, "Your Majesty's move... has far-reaching significance, which is beyond the understanding of us."

If she hadn't known his identity, Ji Mengshu would have really believed his lies. "Forget it, I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back first..."

Ning Rongzhang wanted to keep her, but he didn't know what to say to make her stay. He hesitated and said, "It's almost noon, why don't you have lunch before leaving..."

He only thought for three seconds before the door was knocked loudly. Ning Er rushed in with brute force, looking nervous, "Master, there's a fire downstairs!"

Thick smoke slowly climbed up the corridor, and the sparse guests downstairs instantly scattered like birds and beasts, all rushing outside, coughing loudly. Ji Mengshu was shocked and panicked. Fire, fire, she died in the previous life, and the pain of the fire burning her skin seemed to still be lingering.

Was this an accident, or did someone want to kill him?

In panic, someone grabbed her wrist. Ji Mengshu turned around and saw Ning Rongzhang, who was shocked and said, "Jump out the window!"

The height of the third floor, if you jump directly, you will be killed, right? Ning Er did not hesitate at all, and quickly took Hongye and Qingzhu to jump out of the back window. The back building faced the lake, so she would not die from the fall, but she did not know how to swim.

"I... I can't swim..." Seeing the fire spreading all over the sky and the thick smoke choking people so that they had to bend over and cough, Ji Mengshu struggled a little. For her, weren't all the ways forward and backward blocked?

Could it be that I came back to this world again, only to die here?

The wooden building creaked twice and began to shake. Scorching flames rushed up. Ji Mengshu saw the man in front of him opening and closing his mouth slowly, but he didn't hear any sound. He grabbed his sleeves unconsciously with both hands and fainted.

"thump--"

The water splashed and then calmed down. The burning wooden building was being rescued, so no one noticed that they jumped into the water.

Ning Rongzhang held Ji Mengshu in his arms underwater and swam in the lake. After an unknown amount of time, he finally emerged in a secluded place on the opposite bank.

"master?!"

Ning Er was extremely frightened. His prince had brought only a few men with him. If something happened here, how would he face the soldiers from Western Xinjiang?

"Turn around!" Ning Rongzhang dragged the unconscious Ji Mengshu to shore and yelled at Ning Er to turn around, "Go find some clean clothes!"

Ning Rongzhang didn't care about anything else and quickly pressed Ji Mengshu's chest, "Miss Ji? Miss Ji, wake up, wake up quickly!"

"Puff--cough, cough! cough!"

Seeing Ji Mengshu spit out a large mouthful of water, Ning Rongzhang stopped what he was doing and breathed a sigh of relief, "You finally woke up."

"Am I...dead?"

Both of them were in a very miserable state. Ning Rongzhang had a piece of withered water grass on his head, but he had a smile on his face, "No, not dead, we are all still alive."

"Oh... still alive..." He closed his eyes with difficulty. His lungs were very uncomfortable after choking on the water. Ning Rongzhang helped him sit up, but Ji Mengshu grabbed his wrist. "Hongye... where's Qingzhu?"

Ning Rongzhang turned his head away. They followed Ning Er and jumped down. They should be nearby now. "Don't worry. Maybe... they are still unconscious."

Hongye pulled the carriage over, and fortunately the horse broke free from the rope, thus saving their carriage from damage. Ning Er happened to come over with some clean clothes.
