At this moment, Hu Ning was lying in a narrow and cramped bedroom, sick from death. She was not the legitimate wife of the mansion, nor was she favored by her master. Even at the best of times, a mother who died early would only use her meal time to kneel at the table to serve the Minister's wife's cutlery, or even a little girl who didn't have time to make cloth dishes.
Furthermore, she was born with the ability to harm her parents and to harm Shang Xingzhou's fate.
Hu Ningsheng is not smart, and her looks also follow her mother is not as good as Hu Jin Hu Rong sister. In his previous life, he had lived a silent and nameless life, but in the end, for the sake of his father's unnecessary pity, he had fallen into a state of disgrace.
Hu Jin, try again. I want you all to die a horrible death!" Hu Ning took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He sat up straight and stared at the smoke-colored window curtain. The broken bed creaked unbearably under the pressure. The rat that was stealing food was startled into turning into a black shadow, disappearing into a corner.
Hu Ning was not stupid. In her previous life, she had hidden herself just for the sake of living a good life. After being deceived by his father and Madam Hu's flowery words, there was also Ye Feihan …
Hu Ning sneered. Right now, aside from Ye Feihan, she was the only one who understood him the best. In the past, Ye Feihan had feigned insanity and cleverly solved the problem of breaking through the shackles of the Night, then successfully solved the problem of the Duke of Bao. It was all thanks to her scheming and cooperation. He didn't expect that in the end, he would be so sly that he would kill a dog and cook it. After crossing the river, he used the same tactic to beat her up.
For this plan, she must first think of a way to join hands with Nightingale in order to survive in the future.
The sky was about to fall into chaos …
"Ah Tu."
The little girl, who was called Ah Shou by her, quickly put down her fan and sat down in front of her bed. "What do you want, Miss?"
The narrow bedroom was filled with the strong smell of medicine. One breath filled with pain and pain took up his entire body. Shang Shu Manor looked down on this concubine young miss, so the servants naturally would not treat her well. It was past the summer solstice now, and the little house was damp and stuffy. Behind the window, not a single bug in the bamboo forest would fly in to take advantage of the situation.
This was because their day had been so remote and there weren't many people who would come back. Ah Tu, who was on guard in case she woke up and no one was looking after her, set the pot of medicine in front of the door.
She was making medicine when he woke up. It was the last one the girl could eat. The Minister had issued a death order. If the girl still hadn't eaten her fill, she would just drag him away to the manor to fend for herself.
"What time is it now?" Hu Ning sat up while his spirit was still holding on to the pillow. Her face was still unconcealable, but it was a good thing she had survived the ordeal and was no longer the sickly death she had once been.
"Miss, it's already the summer solstice." Ah Tu looked out at the thinning daylight and poured a cup of cold tea for Húrin to moisten his throat.
His throat was hoarse from the long illness.
Hu Ning then asked, "Is there any excitement today?"
She was usually calm and composed, so the silence was too great for Ah Tu to notice. He replied respectfully, "The Regent's beloved concubine is hosting a banquet today to invite Miss Zhong over."
Huning nodded. Although she was unconscious, she had her own perception of the outside world. Since she woke up early this morning, it had been extremely lively. She thought that Hu Rong was up to something.
However, according to his previous life, the Regent had not returned to Grand Dominance at all. This... Could something have happened?
Or had the plan been brought forward?
Hu Ning narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes and tapped the edge of the bed with his fingertips.
Ah Shou's heart ached for her. Ever since she was young, she had plotted hard work for her. "The young lady has not recovered from her long illness, so don't trouble yourself anymore," he consoled.
Hui Ji was bound to be injured, and the doctor said that the girl's sudden illness had come from there. He finally woke up with great difficulty. He had to recover his body as soon as possible.
Hu Ning revealed a sad smile and said, "How could I not know? It's just that we don't have much time."
If time continued to follow the route of his previous life, Xu Anguo would very soon have envoys coming to Grand Dominance. Prince Hu took this opportunity to return to the capital. She would be sent to the palace in place of Hu Rong soon, and it would be too late by then.
"Where should I go to find an opportunity?"
Hu Ning's gaze slipped past the cherry pink invitation on the wooden table by the window and was attracted by the delicate hairpin, Xiao kai — he sincerely invited Miss Hu Ning to a banquet at the Grand Dominance Manor.
This was the first time she had ever met such a straightforward invitation. This girl, Yi Huan, was an excellent person. It might just be a chance that she had to think about …
"Tell me about this lady Yi Huan."
After the death of Hu Ning's mother, she spent all her savings to go to Teeth, the trained girl. Although they couldn't compare to the Death Soldiers raised by their families, they could still do their normal tasks and gather information.
"Lady Yi Huan's appearance is ninety percent similar to that of the regent's consort, and she has a fiery temperament. Because of the Regent's affinity with him, he was doted upon. She was the lead organizer for this banquet, and none of the ladies in the city objected to it. "
"The banquet will be held for three days, starting from today's summer solstice. Rumor has it that before the banquet even began, the second young miss pushed the young lady Yi Huan into the water and even involved the princess consort. However, he did not see any madame leave the manor. Nor did the regent declare that the banquet was dissolved. "Therefore, it should be fine …"
Ah Tu briefly recounted what had happened and asked Hu Ning in a low voice if he would go to the kitchen to get some supplies while there was no one else in the mansion.
Hu Ning smiled bitterly. The concubine born from the Third Rank of the Imperial Court was actually not as pretty as a girl from a small family. They had to wait for the master of the house to stop stealing the tonic.
Hu Ning smiled and said, "If it's really as you say, then I really envy Miss Yi Huan. It is much better to be so free and happy than I am, the false lady who is confined to the walls of the house. "
After taking the medicine and making sure that she did not continue to have a fever, Hu Ning asked softly:
"This servant has asked if Lady Yi Huan will go to the stables for the next match. At that time, Little Princess Ah Yue Hun Zi, who is staying at the inn, will also come. If we were to go out for a walk, we might be able to bump into a lady who's a good companion. "
"Madam has already suggested that the young lady go to the palace to serve the consort. This is her last chance."
Naturally, Hu Ning understood the meaning of her words. Ah Shun had asked for the route to the banquet in advance and was waiting for her to wake up so that he could approach someone. It didn't matter if it was Yinzi or Yiyi, whoever could get their help would be able to escape the fate of being sent to the palace.
Success or failure depended on it.
Hu Ning was silent for a long time, then he cut open the pillow and took out a small jade plate the size of a finger. The jade token was made of warm white jade. In the center, there was an immortal crane with its wings spread wide, ready to fly away. The crane lifted its head high into the air, mercifully closing its eyes as it looked at the bamboo leaves. A single tear rolled down its face.
"Everything is ready."
