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

After several people changed their clothes in the carriage one after another, Ning Rongzhang felt deeply sorry. If he had not invited Ji Mengshu to come, he would not have encountered such a thing.

Thick smoke billowed in the distance, Ning Rongzhang's eyes were dim, "Ning Er, send Miss Ji and the others back quickly..."

Ji Mengshu was still changing clothes in the carriage, Hongye Qingzhu was standing outside the carriage, Ning Rongzhang made a gesture outside, and apologized very much, "Miss Ji, I have implicated you in what happened today, I will apologize to you another day, the weather is getting colder, and the three girls have fallen into the water, we should return home as soon as possible, I, Ning Er, will follow you first to ensure your safety."

"Ahem..." Inside the carriage, Ji Mengshu changed her clothes, and before she could speak, Qingzhu Hongye came in. The carriage moved slowly, leaving no room for refusal.

This person...

As the carriage gradually went away, two people ran out from the dense bamboo bushes, "Your Majesty, we caught someone alive."

Ning Rongzhang pinched his brows. Few people knew that he had come to the capital from Western Xinjiang. How did the rumor get out? It was true that he had implicated Ji Mengshu.

"Walk."

-

Outside the Ji Mansion.

Uncle Zheng, the steward of the Ji family, came early to meet them. Hongye helped Ji Mengshu out and went straight to the mansion. Uncle Zheng saw that there was no trace of a carriage behind him, and asked anxiously, "Fifth Miss, didn't the Second Miss come back with you?"

Qingzhu gave a look and said, "The Second Miss will have to stay in the palace for a while." How could she come back so soon?

"Ah? The Second Miss lives alone in the palace?" Uncle Zheng was puzzled, but didn't the Second Miss go to the palace because of the Fifth Miss?

In the elegant Fulan Pavilion, the curling green smoke and the maple leaves outside the window are enough to make people feel pleasing to the eye. After taking a warm bath, Ji Mengshu finally came back to life.

The feeling of drowning in the water before didn't seem fake, but fortunately, it was a close call.

Qingzhu and Hongye went down to wash and bathe. The maid guarding Fulanxuan said across the screen, "Miss, the Madam is here."

Jiang's mother waited outside the door anxiously, worried as hell. Why did they all fall into the water? There was no sign of anyone among the red leaves and green bamboos. Jiang's mother looked anxiously. The door creaked open. Ji Mengshu changed her clothes and greeted Jiang's mother obediently.

"Let me take a look." Mother Jiang held her hands and asked worriedly, "Shu'er, why did you fall into the water after returning from the palace?"

Ji Mengshu had already made up her mind, "Don't worry, mother. It's because she hasn't been home for a long time and she missed you so much that she drove the carriage faster. Suddenly, the carriage slid sideways and we fell into the water. Fortunately, the place was remote and no one noticed."

This little episode did not arouse Jiang's mother's suspicion, but the worry in Jiang's mother's eyes did not seem fake. "They say that the feng shui in the imperial city is good for health, but why do I look so much thinner?"

Ji Mengshu held Jiang's mother's hand in her own and comforted her, "How can my daughter be happy if she can't see her relatives?"

"It's windy outside, go in quickly, or you'll catch a cold." Jiang's mother pulled people in and told the maid to boil a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold. After seeing Ji Mengshu drink it all night, her worries were alleviated a little.

After talking for a long time, Jiang's mother suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another person, "Shu'er, where is Ning Qiuren? Didn't she come back with you?"

Ji Mengshu blinked, "Mother, my second sister is still in the palace." Her eyes were like those of a harmless little rabbit, "But she should be back soon..."

Mother Jiang asked herself: What is the point of staying in the palace alone?

After lunch, Ji Mengshu stayed in the bedroom without even going out. Lying on the bed, he seemed to be back in the adversity of being in the lake with his mouth and nose filled with water.

"Help..."

The unconscious murmur from his mouth attracted Hongye from the outer hall. He placed his palm on his hot forehead. Oh no!

"Someone come quickly and call the court doctor!" Hongye filled a well with clean water and placed the wet and wrung-out handkerchief on Ji Mengshu's forehead.

I felt the chill coming, just like I had suddenly found a life-saving straw in the midst of dire straits, "Don't... don't go..."

"Miss, I will not leave. I will always stay with you." Hongye patted her hand gently until the court physician arrived. After the examination, he prescribed some fever-reducing decoctions and took Qingzhu to get the medicine.

I caught a cold after falling into the water.

Outside the bedroom, Ning Er felt a little guilty. Was he indirectly responsible for causing the girl from the Ji family to become like this?

-

On the other side, in a dim wooden house without any candlelight, a man was tied to an execution pillar with his mouth stuffed with a black cloth.

There was deathly silence in the room. After a while, the man woke up slowly. His limbs were tied up. He struggled in vain, and the noise he made caused the door to creak.

Then someone outside the house said, "Master, the person is awake."

The man called the master walked into the house. It was too late and he couldn't see who it was. He could only vaguely feel the tall figure of the man approaching with a very terrifying look.

"I don't like nonsense. Just tell me everything you know and I can make you die happily."

Ning Rongzhang pulled over a small chair and sat down, crossing one leg over the other in a casual and uninhibited sitting posture.

The guards around him took the black cloth out of his mouth and then stood beside him to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. He had been searched from head to toe and no hidden weapons were found, and of course, there was no poison in his mouth.

"I don't know what you are talking about..." the man in black said stubbornly.

Ning Rongzhang sighed slightly, "Now that you are here, it is useless to struggle. Do you need me to remind you that the West City Inn caught fire, and you and your companions set the fire and hid outside the inn. Who did you want to kill? Or, who did you receive orders from?"

In the quiet cabin, one could hear a pin drop. The man in black had red eyes and his wrists were bleeding from being tied with a thick hemp rope. "I'm just... a killer who gets paid to do the job. As for who the buyer is, I don't know..."

"Still lying." Ning Rongzhang took out a dagger from his arms and rubbed the blade with white cloth, which was extremely shiny.

"I didn't! I'm telling the truth!" The man in black struggled, his bloodshot eyes dazzled by the sword. When he opened his eyes, Ning Rongzhang had stood in front of him without him knowing when. "What are you going to do?"

"The executioner has countless ways to get you to talk, but I said that as long as you tell me everything you know, I can understand you. This promise is still valid now."

Ning Rongzhang casually lifted the black clothes on his chest, revealing a large green tattoo, a tattoo of a snake with nine heads!
