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

"Miss, you really wronged me." Ning Rongzhang brushed off the dust on his body, sat down opposite her carefree, and poured himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

Ji Mengshu glanced at him and asked, "Did Prince Ning not drink enough tea at the banquet?"

To be honest, dealing with His Majesty's eldest princess and the princes made me feel thirsty even after drinking a pot of tea. "Miss, you don't know how hypocritical and cunning the officialdom is. Now I am thirsty."

When he spoke, it seemed as if he had said all the words in his life.

Ning Rongzhang added, "Miss Ji's piano playing today really opened my eyes." The momentum was magnificent, like lightning tearing through the dark clouds, suddenly making people's mind clear.

"It's just something I played casually. It's not a good piece of music." Ji Mengshou's expression was calm, as indifferent as ever, as if he didn't care about those things.

Knowing that Ji Mengshu had no intention of talking about the song, Ning Rongzhang did not force her. He just felt that as a girl from a wealthy family in the capital, she would not dare to have such deep thoughts. The song was timid and what it played was not what an ordinary girl in the boudoir would have.

As dusk fell, Ji Mengshu was lying on a carved nanmu chair with his eyes closed, relaxing a little.

There was a rustling in the yard, Ji Mengshu opened his eyes and looked around, but the uninvited person had left? Ning Rongzhang was still sitting steadily on the stone bench, with someone standing beside him.

What kind of place was this? An inn where she could just stop by?

Just as she was about to speak, Ning Rongzhang took a few steps to her side and whispered in her ear, "It seems like something happened to your second sister..."

Second sister?

Ji Mengshu's chaotic mind calmed down, "What happened to Ji Ningqiu?" Didn't she leave the palace with them? What's wrong with her?

Ning Rongzhang pointed at Ah San and said, "Ah San saw it with his own eyes. He said that on the way back, he was kidnapped and taken to the City God Temple..."

As if waking up from a dream, Ji Mengshu looked at Ah San, then at Ning Rongzhang. The expressions of the master and servant could not be said to be deceptive. Besides, there was no need for Ning Rongzhang to lie to him.

So, something really happened to Ji Ningqiu?

He hurriedly got up from the round chair. This had never happened before. Who did Ji Ningqiu secretly offend? Just as he was about to get up and leave, someone grabbed his wrist and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Something's wrong with her now, I can't just sit there and do nothing, can I?" Ji Mengshu said this, but she was thinking, if something happens to Ji Ningqiu, who will replace her when she marries into the palace? Ji Ningqiu must not get into any trouble.

"If you go directly, the suspicion of murder will fall on you..." Ning Rongzhang looked at her carefully, as if he had never seen her before, and calmly examined the expression on her face, not missing a single detail.

"You're right. If I go there directly, I'm afraid I'll be accused of murder," Ji Mengshu thought over and over again, "What else can I do?" Unfortunately, she didn't have any secret guards who would obey her orders, which made this matter particularly difficult.

Ning Rongzhang sat beside her calmly, "Miss Ji, I can help you with this, but..." After a polite pause, Ning Rongzhang smiled slightly. "Miss Ji needs to agree to one condition of mine."

Helping is, of course, conditional. Ji Mengshu narrowed her eyes slightly, as if calculating which one was more important, Ji Ningqiu or her promise.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it. This is an urgent matter. Just tell me what your conditions are."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ning Rongzhang stood up neatly and said, "I haven't thought of the conditions yet. You may as well wait until I think of it before telling Miss Ji. I will help Miss Ji deal with the matter first. See you later."

After that, the two disappeared behind the back wall. With Ning Rongzhang's promise, Ji Mengshu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, who did Ji Ningqiu offend unintentionally?

At that time, in the City God Temple.

Ji Ningqiu was in a state of disgrace. She looked at the three or five strong men approaching her and shouted, "Who are you?! I tell you, I am the second daughter of the Ji family. If you dare to do anything to me, even if you run to the ends of the earth, the people of the Ji family will tear you into pieces!"

"Hahaha - Boss! Did you hear what that little girl said? She said she was going to cut us into pieces." A big man with gleaming eyes and bare chest said without hesitation, "We have grown up so big, but we have never experienced what it feels like to be cut into pieces."

The leader narrowed his eyes, not taking Ji Ningqiu's threat seriously at all, and said in a hoarse voice, "The last person who dared to threaten me like this, now has grass three feet high on his grave, hahahaha——"

A man who looked like a laryngoscope behind him locked the wooden door of the City God's dilapidated temple and said with a lewd look on his face, "Boss, is it still the same as before? You enjoy it first, and then we will - hehehe -"

Dirty words were spoken so openly that Ji Ningqiu's eyes, which had widened slightly due to fear, flashed with a hint of surprise. It seemed that these people were experienced in doing things for others. No wonder they could lure her to the City God Temple without any precautions.

"I am of noble status! If you want money, the Ji family can afford you any amount! Do you know what kind of family the Ji family is? My uncle is the prime minister of the Dali Dynasty! You can't touch me!" Ji Ningqiu retreated tremblingly, but there was only a small space in this dilapidated temple. How could he escape from the hands of several strong men?

"Oh, death is imminent, we won't hide it from you, the one we caught is the second daughter of the Ji family, the person who bought your life is of the highest honor, after we finish this big deal, we brothers won't have to worry about food and clothing!" The eldest brother rubbed his hands secretly, with a lewd smile on his face, "Little beauty, now... you should obey..."

"Get out of here!" Ji Ningqiu picked up something from the shabby table and threw it at them. The fruits and vegetables offered as offerings had long been looted by homeless beggars. There were only a few incomplete bowls and plates in the dilapidated temple.

"Oh, you still have a hot-tempered personality," the eldest brother waved his hand, "You go out first, I will call you when I am better." He likes people with hot tempers the most.

The men behind him understood and went out with sticks and other things, not forgetting to close the door again.

Despair is created when no one comes to rescue her. Who would notice her in this remote and deserted Chenghuang Temple?

No one rescued her, so she could only choose to protect herself. However, the gap between herself and the enemy was too big, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, which made her feel devastated.

This day might have been just an ordinary day for others, but for Ji Ningqiu, the thrill was enough to make her remember it for the rest of her life.
