She seems to know the man, and in her memory, she could recall the man as the Crown Prince of the State of Dongli, whom she was to marry today. But her cousin Nangong Qingyao has married him instead of her. Then, is he here to look for her?

Anyway, the top priority for her now is to save her own life.

“Take me to get the grass,” says Nangong Ning to Jun Zixuan.

“What?” Jun Zixuan turns his head and stares at her angrily.

Is the woman mad? Jun Zixuan didn’t say that he would give her “the grass of the nether world”, for it is priceless.

“Take her back and give her ‘the grass of the nether world’!” Says a cold voice, which is so loud that it startles everyone in the hall.

Jun Zixuan couldn’t believe it is his uncle Jun Qianye who says this. He looks at Jun Qianye with a suspicious look in his eyes, saying, “What did you say, Uncle Regent?”

“Didn’t you come to look for Nangong Ning? Now that she is here, take her back with you!” Says Jun Qianye blandly

Jun Zixuan does not know what to say.

Mr. Zong couldn’t help saying, “My Lord, Miss Nangong is too feeble to leave here.”

Jun Qianye turns his head to look at Nangong Ning.

Seeing that Jun Qianye is looking at her, Nangong Ning feels her heart missed a beat. Whenever this man’s eyes fall on her, her heart couldn’t help beating faster not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because of the sharp murderous look in his eyes.

Any one of these two factors would make her lose control of herself.

Her condition becomes weak due to the poisons from the hundred-variety-venomous insects. But now under the severe look from Jun Qianye, Nangong Ning, sitting there with a dull look in her eyes, has to face the pressure from all sides.

Suddenly she feels her heart aches, her throat tightens, and her nostrils tickle.

She is startled as she knows that there may be some nosebleed from her nose.

No sooner had she thought of this than the blood from her nose came out. She feels something cold on her mouth and stretches her hand to wipe it and there her hand is full of blood.

At the sight of her own blood, she passes out, plopping down.

She was leaning, half reclined there just now. One can imagine that her plopping down might cause her facing down with her nose askew.

Mr. Zong is the one who is closest to Nangong Ning at that moment, and he is quick at his wits, trying to stop her falling with his stretched hand. However, he is too old to react, and he is a little fat for a quick action.

Jun Zixuan, of course, will not help her, neither will Weichu. None of the others present will.

Just at the moment when Nangong Ning is doomed to have a miserable fall, a shadow flashes before everyone there, and the next moment, Nangong Ning disappears, and so does Jun Qianye, the Regent of the State of Dongli!

“What happens?” asks the Crown Prince in surprise when he comes to his senses.

Nobody pays any attention to him.

Those who attempt to follow the shadow are stopped by Weichu who waves his hand before them.
