The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

At night, at Huo Yunjue's mansion, a sedan chair was just carried to the corner gate when it was stopped by the imperial guards at the door for inspection.

Zhihua, who was accompanying them, quickly took out Concubine Wan's token and shouted to stop them.

"Stop, you are not allowed to come near. In the sedan are Madam Zhang and a maidservant who are by the Empress's side. They have caught a cold and can infect others. The Empress is worried that the disease will be passed on to the Fourth Prince and aggravate his condition, so she ordered me to send them out of the palace immediately for recuperation."

The leading general looked at Zhihua carefully and recognized that she was indeed the maidservant beside Concubine Wan, but he still had doubts in his heart.

He bowed politely to Zhihua and said, "Don't blame me, young lady. His Majesty has ordered us to guard this place strictly. We'd better handle official business impartially. Please wait for a moment, young lady, and let us check before letting you go."

Zhihua's face darkened, and she sternly rebuked, "How dare you! Are you doubting the Queen's will?"

The general was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly to deny: "I dare not, I dare not, how dare we offend the queen, but we dare not disobey your majesty's order, I hope the young lady will forgive us."

Zhihua had a sullen face and was thinking about how to get rid of them when suddenly a hoarse cough came from the sedan.

The generals looked up and saw Nanny Zhang covering her mouth tightly with a handkerchief and weakly lifting the curtain of the sedan chair.

"Zhihua, let them come over to search. Just don't get too close. If they get infected by us, the Queen will not let them off easily."

After saying that, Nanny Zhang started coughing violently again.

Zhihua nodded in agreement and gestured for the general to lead his men forward for inspection.

The general looked at Nanny Zhang, whose face turned red from coughing and who was almost out of breath. It seemed that she was really ill.

He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, fearing that he might be infected. After all, in this cold winter day, even a slight cold could be fatal.

The general exchanged glances with several guards, and tacitly stood a few steps away from the sedan chair, asking Zhihua to lift the curtain for search.

Because it was dark, they could only vaguely see a figure wearing a woman's cloak and lying on a cushion, but the figure seemed a little burly.

The general was suspicious and was about to move closer, but was interrupted by Nanny Zhang's sudden cough.

Seeing this, Zhihua quickly lowered the curtain, stood sideways in front of the sedan chair, and gave the general a cold look.

"You have already searched them, please let them go quickly. Aunt Zhang and the others are seriously ill. If we delay any further, the risk of infection will be even greater. If the Empress blames us, you will be the ones to be held accountable!"

The general was now completely convinced, so he turned around with a smile, stepped back a few steps, and asked the guards to let him pass.

Zhihua gave a secret wink, and Wei Feng, Wei Yu and others, who were disguised as sedan bearers, quickly lifted the sedan and successfully left the mansion.

They were in such a hurry that they did not notice that several witch clan masters who had been lurking in the darkness were following them quietly.

After dinner, we went to Xiyuan in Ninghou Mansion.

Madam Fu and Madam Lin, along with other female relatives, sat in the warm room and chatted with Ning Ziqing in private.

Tao Xinyi coaxed Gui Ge'er to sleep, and handed him over to the nurse to take care of him. She also dismissed the servants in the house, and then smiled and praised everyone: "Although the Seventh Young Master is marrying a princess, the betrothal gifts he prepared are extremely generous and thoughtful. He cares so much about Qingqing, and when he comes to pick her up tomorrow, don't let Zijun and the others make things too difficult for him."

Lin Wanqiao, who was busy checking the dowry list, burst out laughing when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, Qingqing hasn't married Mr. Qi yet, why are you turning your elbow outward? You have to think clearly, which side are you on?"

When she said this, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Ning Ziqing, who was whispering to Cao Yanyan, paused, looked at the laughing faces of the crowd, and forced a smile: "Seventh Young Master... he really treats me very well."

Madam Lin smiled for a long time before she calmed down. She turned her eyes to Ning Ziqing eagerly and said, "Princess Azhao, you and Mr. Qi have a deep love for each other. Now that you are happily married, it is truly a beautiful story in our Nanyao Kingdom."

After the women in the room echoed a few words, Mrs. Fu coughed twice at the right time to remind everyone.

"I think it's getting late. Why don't we go home first so Qingqing can rest earlier."

Everyone understood and stood up, bowed and left.

Soon, only Madam Fu, Madam Lin, Lin Wanqiao, Tao Xinyi and Cao Yanyan were left in the room.

Tao Xinyi walked forward and closed the door, and then at the signal of Mrs. Fu, she mysteriously took out a mother-of-pearl box and handed it to Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing took the box blankly and opened it, and saw a white porcelain bottle and a booklet inside.

Ning Ziqing found that the booklet looked familiar. Wasn't this the erotic booklet that Cao Yanyan had given her?

She raised her head awkwardly and found that Madam Fu and the others had all turned shy.

Madam Fu took Ning Ziqing's hand and carefully reminded her, "Qingqing... we are all experienced people. We stayed here tonight to teach you some skills in the boudoir. And this medicine is a secret medicine for women after sex brought by the palace maid... If you feel uncomfortable after the wedding night tomorrow, remember to use this medicine."

Ning Ziqing's cheeks turned hot when he heard this, and he declined awkwardly, "Aunt, I...I don't need to learn these."

She had no intention of having a real marriage with Su Yanqi, so why would she need to learn these things?

Even Cao Yanyan felt embarrassed for Ning Ziqing.

"Madam Fu, since the Seventh Young Master is Princess Shang, he will naturally know his limits and will not offend the princess."

Madam Fu just pursed her lips and smiled, thinking Ning Ziqing was being shy, so she continued to persuade her: "On this wedding night, no matter how much the Seventh Young Master restrains himself, he is still a young man full of blood, and it is inevitable that he will lose control sometimes. Besides, he has not been close to women for so many years, and he doesn't even have a maid by his side. He probably doesn't have much experience in that aspect. You should just get familiar with it in advance, so that he won't hurt you by accident."

Ning Ziqing blushed, unable to listen any longer, and put the box on the table with her head down: "I'll just look at the booklet myself later. Aunt, you've been exhausted these past few days, go back and have a rest."

Madam Fu refused to give up and wanted to teach her a lesson. At this moment, Yaoyao suddenly opened the door and rushed in, anxiously dragged Ning Ziqing to the corner and whispered to her.

"The Fourth Prince is here, and he wants to see you."

Half an hour later, Ning Ziqing, who had pretended to be asleep, quietly climbed out from the back window with the help of Yaoyao. Yaoyao used her lightness skills to help her leap onto the roof and ran straight to a lantern shop three or four blocks away from Ning Hou Mansion.

From afar, Ning Ziqing saw Huo Yunjue holding a unique crab lantern and standing quietly in front of a row of racks hung with various lanterns, waiting for her.

The moment their eyes met, both of them held back their emotions and looked at each other in silence.

After a moment, Huo Yunjue suppressed the discomfort in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and called her.

"Qingqing, I promised you that I would watch the lanterns with you, and I don't want to break my promise. But... I... only found these..."

At the end of his speech, there was a hint of self-blame and apology in his dry voice, and his bloodshot eyes looked at Ning Ziqing helplessly with a sad expression.

Ning Ziqing felt a pain in his heart and ran towards him quickly, hugged his waist tightly and buried his head in his arms.

"Ajue...I am sorry for you, please forget me."

Huo Yunjue's eyes were moist, he pursed his lips tightly, his Adam's apple kept rolling, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, it hurt so much that he couldn't utter a word.

Ning Ziqing just hugged him silently, tears silently sliding down his clothes.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and Yaoyao came over worriedly and urged them: "Hurry up and say goodbye properly. The Fourth Prince is still injured and should not stay for long."

Huo Yunjue quickly came to his senses, put his arm around Ning Ziqing, and ordered Wei Feng and the others to bring many lanterns and arrange them in a circle with him and Ning Ziqing as the center.

"Qingqing, let's enjoy the lanterns."

Ning Ziqing leaned against his chest, took the lotus lantern handed over by Wei Yu, raised his eyes and asked Huo Yunjue: "Ajue, do you want to make a wish?"

Huo Yunjue gave a bitter smile, a look of bewilderment flashing across his eyes. If making a wish was useful, then why couldn't he get what he wanted and live with his beloved for the rest of his life?

But he didn't want Ning Ziqing to be disappointed, so he nodded, raised the lantern in his hand and read word by word: "I wish Qingqing to be safe and healthy."

"Second wish, Qingqing is happy and contented."

"My three wishes: green...blossoming flowers...a full moon."

When Ning Ziqing heard this, he felt very sad.

Huo Yunjue actually reached the point where he could say congratulations to her on her wedding.

She actually wanted to ask Huo Yunjue, did he really not blame her?

Don't blame her for taking the initiative, don't blame her for giving up the promise they made without saying a word.

She opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

Finally, she slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Huo Yunjue's eyebrows.

"Ajue, you have to remember this."

"Only if you are well, the wish you made to me will come true."

"Take care of yourself, and let's... say goodbye now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a chilling murderous aura suddenly hit her.

I heard Yaoyao's scream.

"Be careful, there is an assassin!"

In an instant, a dozen top masters of the Wu clan surrounded them and blocked all their escape routes.

Wu Xuan, the leader, sneered and said, "Fourth Prince, you are really a lovesick person. Today, let the brothers show mercy and send you to the underworld to be a pair of miserable mandarin ducks."

"Kill me!"

At Wu Xuan's command, all the assassins rushed straight towards Huo Yunjue.

"Protect His Highness!"

Wei Feng and his men fought desperately, but they could not withstand the enemy's large numbers and fierce attack.

Soon, several guards fell in a pool of blood. Wei Feng and Wei Yu were also stabbed several times. They tried their best to protect Huo Yunjue, fighting while retreating to the door of the lantern shop.

Yaoyao banged on the door hard, but the shop owner saw that the situation was not good and had already locked the door tightly to protect himself.

Yaoyao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet.

Huo Yunjue carefully protected Ning Ziqing and shouted at the assassins, "Come at me, let Princess Azhao go! If you dare to hurt her, I will never let you go!"

Wu Xuan's eyes were red with anger, and he laughed wildly, "Fourth Prince, you can't even save yourself, and you're still thinking of begging for mercy for your lover! Today, none of you will leave alive, kill them now!"

The two assassins who rushed in the front were knocked away by Yaoyao's whip.

Huo Yunjue repelled an assassin who attacked from the side, endured the pain on his body, and pushed Ning Ziqing towards Yaoyao with his backhand: "Take Qingqing away quickly, and make sure to protect her!"

Ning Ziqing did not hesitate at all. She knew that staying with Huo Yunjue would only become a burden to him, so she decisively took Yaoyao's hand and planned to break out to get help.

Wu Xuan turned around and tried to grab Ning Ziqing, but Huo Yunjue quickly called on Wei Feng and Wei Yu to stop him.

After several rounds, the pain from the wounds on Huo Yunjue's body made him sweat profusely, and he gradually felt powerless.

Wu Xuan put away the knife in his hand and stared at Huo Yunjue with fierce eyes.

"Fourth Prince, give up. I will give you a quick death!"

Huo Yunjue steadied himself and gave him a sarcastic smile: "You are a lost dog, it's too early to speak!"

He shouted loudly, and his attacks became more fierce and determined. No matter what, he had to make sure Ning Ziqing escaped safely.

Seeing that Yaoyao had successfully fought his way out, Huo Yunjue tried his best and fought desperately, hoping to delay Wu Xuan for a while longer.

However, Wei Feng and Wei Yu had been entangled by other assassins. Without their assistance, Huo Yunjue gradually became exhausted and was hit by several palms from Wu Xuan, forcing him to kneel on one knee and spit blood.

Ning Ziqing glanced back suddenly and saw Wu Xuan using his internal energy to prepare for a fatal strike against Huo Yunjue.

Ning Ziqing widened his eyes in horror, and only one thought flashed through his mind: Huo Yunjue must not be allowed to die here!

She shook off Yaoyao's hand and ran quickly towards Huo Yunjue.

"My little beauty, no!"

"Wu Xuan, stop it now, don't hurt her!"

After a burst of exclamations, everything was too late.

Ning Ziqing just rushed over and took the heavy palm from Wu Xuan for Huo Yunjue.

Huo Yunjue's whole body was frozen, and he stared in amazement as Ning Ziqing gave him a brilliant smile. But the next moment, her body twitched a few times, she spit out blood, and fainted on his shoulder.

Wu Xuan was also stunned. Seeing that he missed Huo Yunjue, he tried to attack again, but was stopped in time by the masked Mo Zhanchen.

Wu Xuan cursed angrily, raised his knife and slashed at Mo Zhanchen to force him to move aside, but suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out and deflected the knife in his hand. Then a large number of guards came from all directions.

"Protect His Highness the Fourth Prince, protect Princess Azhao, and capture the assassin!"

Shouts and cries of killing rang out one after another, and the situation before them caught Wu Xuan and his men off guard.

Wu Xuan glared at Mo Zhanchen angrily: "You have ruined the clan's great cause today, so you'll have to look after yourself in the future!"

He waved his hand unwillingly and ordered: "Retreat!"

The Wu clan assassins disappeared without a trace in an instant, but Mo Zhanchen was worried about Ning Ziqing and did not evacuate with them.

When Qin Kuo arrived with the Imperial Guards, Huo Yunjue stood up in panic holding the unconscious Ning Ziqing and screamed in panic: "Save her, save her quickly!"

Mo Zhanchen came forward and wanted to feed Ning Ziqing the pill, but was whipped away by Yaoyao.

"Come here, take this Wu clan assassin away. If anything happens to the little beauty, I want you to be buried with her!"

Mo Zhanchen struggled and said, "Let me see her quickly. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Huo Yunjue questioned him fiercely.

"Don't be hypocritical here, didn't you just want to kill us?!"

Mo Zhanchen suppressed his anger and argued: "I didn't want to kill her, I just wanted you to die! Let me see how badly she's hurt!"

"roll!"

Huo Yunjue roared angrily, wishing he could kill Mo Zhanchen immediately.

He picked up Ning Ziqing, walked past everyone, climbed directly onto Qin Kuo's horse, and galloped towards the Su Mansion.

On the way, Ning Ziqing was awakened by the galloping horse.

She used a lot of strength to hook Huo Yunjue's neck and tried hard to open her heavy eyelids.

"Ajue... I'm almost dying, where are you taking me?"

Huo Yunjue felt a pain in his heart, and he choked up to comfort Ning Ziqing: "Qingqing, don't be afraid, we will go find Qi Langjun now. He will definitely heal you, just hold on a little longer, okay?"

Ning Ziqing shook his head with difficulty and said with a gasp, "I may not be able to hold on any longer."

Huo Yunjue's eyes were bloodshot, he was terrified to the extreme.

"No, Qingqing, please don't leave me..."

Ning Ziqing interrupted him.

"Ajue, listen to me. If this is the price of rebirth, I have no regrets."

"In this life, I saw my brother get married, avenged my mother, resolved all the knots with my relatives, and our family was finally reunited. I have no regrets. I don't want to be greedy and start over again..."

Huo Yunjue tightened his grip on the reins and panic spread throughout his body.

"What about me? What about me? Do you not want me again?"

Huo Yunjue burst into tears and cried bitterly.

Ning Ziqing raised his head and looked at his face with reluctance. He felt his body getting colder and colder, and the familiar breath of death came again.

"Ajue, don't be sad... We loved each other in this life, even though it was fruitless, but I hope we can continue our relationship in the next life... and be a real couple..."

"You must avenge me... kill... Huo Yunhong... ascend to the throne... just for me... live well..."

She held her breath and stretched out her fingers to touch and trace Huo Yunjue's eyes, but her hands fell down weakly.

"Ajue, I really... like it so much, I really like it... the way you see me in your eyes."

After saying this, Ning Ziqing seemed extremely tired. She slowly closed her eyes, her consciousness began to fade, and she could no longer hear any calls from Huo Yunjue.
