Chapter 139

Concubine An was so angry that she called Imperial Doctor Song to avoid some trouble. Since Imperial Doctor Song was not her person, she wouldn’t think that she was the one who designed all of this. However, she never imagined that even if Imperial Doctor Song was invited, there would still be plenty of trouble.

“Your Highness, even if Imperial Doctor Song says so, but I’m really angry. Apart from the fragrance of this mustard, is it because of something else?”

The Emperor patted the back of her hand and said, “Young Master knows,” he glanced at Imperial Doctor Song. His eyes were cold as he said, “Song Qing, I believe you in the matter of the liluo fragrance, but this is not important. Most importantly, why is this lilo fragrance on my princess?”

Imperial Doctor Song was startled and quickly said, “Your Highness, Weichen only knows about this kind of thing. As for the harem, he doesn’t know where there is a Weichen. However, Weichen is sure that the imperial pharmacy does not have it. Although it can be used for medicine, the effect is average. It has the same medicinal efficacy as meet the eye everywhere.”

The Emperor nodded and looked forward.

Concubine Mei pursed her lips. At this moment, her expression was a little uneasy, but she was doing it for Nangong Ning. She vaguely felt that Nangong Ning might not be good.

Just as the Emperor’s eyes shot over, she took the initiative to say, “Your Highness, I am ordered to take care of Princess Qingle. Therefore, I am certain that this pouch is not a princess.”

“My princess, of course, she won’t use this kind of thing,” the Emperor looked at the pouch in Nangong Ning’s hand and coldly looked at Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning also said, “Your Highness, this servant girl played with the princess for a while today. I can guarantee that the princess has no such thing before her girlfriend and princess are separated.”

“Why is Miss Nangong so sure?” An Consort opened her mouth and looked over with an unfriendly gaze.

Nangong Ning raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, “This thing has a fragrance. I’m taking a walk in the imperial garden with the princess. Even if I can’t find it for a while, can I still find it?” What’s more, I know that the princess has a special physique. She usually doesn’t need spices. If the princess already had such a thing on her, then I’ll definitely help her throw it away!

Mrs. An listened to Nangong Ning’s gaze and said, “Normally, it’s just as Miss Nangong said, but if Miss Nangong finds out, she won’t be willing to do it?”

Sure enough, she was here, waiting for her! Nangong Ning looked at Concubine An coldly and didn’t panic. He just asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Concubine An clenched her teeth and didn’t see Nangong Ning panicking.

“Such a rough needle line is not owned by the people in the palace.”

Everyone agreed.

Nangong Ning was no exception. She looked at Concubine An and raised the corner of her lips slightly, asking, “Mother, is this an item outside the palace?”

Concubine An didn’t know what Nangong Ning meant, so she looked at her with surprise and coldly said, “This is naturally something out of the palace.”

“So, Mother, you want to say that only I am from the palace, so this thing belongs to me?” Before she could continue, Nangong Ning blurted out his words.

Concubine An was stunned and everyone else was stunned.

In the end, Concubine An reacted the fastest and cried, “Miss Nangong, what are you saying?”

“I’m just following my guess. If that’s not the case, just pretend that I’m spouting nonsense. Mother, don’t be angry,” Nangong Ning said with a faint smile.

Concubine An was choked in one breath. For a moment, she couldn’t get up or fall down. She looked at Nangong Ning with a fierce look in her eyes, but she didn’t know how to respond.

At this time, Queen Xun also reacted and interjected, “Ning, don’t talk nonsense. Although this pouch should come from outside the palace, you have been living in Prince Regent. I heard that the Regent invited Young Lady Bai from Wushuang Pavilion to embroider your clothes. How can this pouch be yours? Consort An, do you think so?

Concubine An bit her lip.

What else could she say now?

Concubine Mei also smiled. “The workmanship of this pouch is too poor. I didn’t see Miss Nangong wearing it. She shouldn’t be from Kafa.”

Nangong Ning smiled and looked at Concubine An.

Today, Concubine An must have wanted to use this pouch as a demon, but unfortunately, she was too stupid.

However, she couldn’t figure it out that she had been in the palace for three days, yet Consort An still didn’t give up trying to scheme against her.

This time, she had bet on the child in her womb.

She was not afraid that the Phoenix Emperor would punish her again?

The Emperor was not a fool. He was listening to his Empress and Consort’s words and looked at Consort An in confusion.

She didn’t expect that today’s plan would be over halfway. Now that she wanted to go against Nangong Ning, she had no chance!

Now, the Emperor was starting to suspect her. She gently pressed her belly and thought about it. She couldn’t be punished anymore. This child in her belly was an important pawn for her to pull back the situation.

“Your Highness, I’m so scared. If I didn’t suddenly show signs of having a small labor today and had blood, I wouldn’t have known that I was pregnant, but when I didn’t know, someone would have schemed against me. I’m really scared, Your Highness…”

When they heard the cries of Imperial Concubine An’s delicate and touching, everyone present had different thoughts.

Queen Xun wished she could stop pretending, but she couldn’t do it. She could only use her eye knife to stab Consort An, wishing she would explode on the spot.

Concubine Mei looked at it lightly, with a gloomy look in her eyes, as if she was sympathetic?

Nangong Ning looked indifferent and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

The Emperor was different from them.

Men liked women who were weak and attached to them, not to mention this woman was fresh and beautiful?

“Young Master said that Young Master will definitely protect you and the Imperial Counsellor,” the Emperor consoled Imperial Counsellor An. He raised his eyes and said coldly, “Gao Huai, bring someone to check up on Young Master and the Imperial Consort!”

Gao Huai followed the Phoenix Sky Emperor all the way. When he heard the sound, he immediately came over to receive the decree and took his men.

Concubine An’s eyes were filled with tears, as if she was extremely afraid and uneasy.

She hated Nangong Ning in her heart but she didn’t dare to look at Nangong Ning again. If she tried to force this matter to Nangong Ning again, even the Phoenix Emperor would suspect her.

Nangong Ning was also looking at Concubine An, his mind wandering.

There was no doubt that Concubine An was the one who wanted to scheme against her, but now Concubine An didn’t dare to continue. The Phoenix Sky Emperor sent people to investigate, and they might end up in the settle a matter by leaving it unsettled.

This round was a draw but she was a little unwilling.

She didn’t have any intentions of harming Consort An, but every time Consort An gave up her child to kill her.

If she didn’t teach her a lesson this time, there would be three.

Nangong Ning looked at the bloodstains on Annie’s dress and was about to speak when Gao Huai suddenly came in.

When he saw that it was him, the Emperor was startled and blurted out, “Have you investigated so quickly?”

Concubine An’s heart skipped a beat. Even though she had already made arrangements, it was reasonable for Gao Huai to ‘investigate’ so quickly.

Gao Huai saluted, “Back to the Emperor, this servant has yet to find out the truth. However, Mr. Xiao heard about what happened here and said that he has something to report to the Emperor.”

Concubine Mei’s expression changed when she heard the three words “Mr. Xiao”. Nangong Ning also looked at her. Concubine Mei shook her head gently, indicating that she was not sure.

Nangong Ning felt strange, but what made her feel even more strange was that when the Emperor heard this, he immediately said, “Mr. Xiao is here. Invite him in.”

The Emperor seemed to trust this ‘Mr. Xiao’ very much? Or is it love?

Gao Huai responded and walked out quickly.

A moment later, Gao Huai led a person in.

Previously, in the Changkang Palace, Nangong Ning had only seen a silhouette, but at that time, she had a strange sense of familiarity. When she saw the man walking in, her eyes slowly widened.

The man was dressed in a plain colored robe, and his clothes were not very luxurious or exquisite. It was not even very handsome, and it always felt very ordinary. However, the man looked very handsome, his eyes were clear, and he had a sense of ease. At this moment, the corner of his lips was slightly lifted with a hint of evil and unruliness.

Nangong Ning glared at him while he fell on Nangong Ning’s face with an interested smile.

Nangong Ning looked at this smile and his mind was stirred.

She was about to speak when the man withdrew his gaze and walked to the Phoenix Emperor. He casually cupped his hands together and said, “Your Highness.”

“Mr. Xiao, I heard that you have something to say?” The Phoenix Sky Emperor was not displeased with him.

Mr. Xiao nodded and looked at the pouch in Nangong Ning’s hand.

“Isn’t this my pouch?” Why are you here?

This pouch was actually his? The moment Nangong Ning heard this, his fingers tightened.

At this moment, Concubine An was also stunned. How could this bag be his? This is…

The Emperor frowned and asked, “Mr. Xiao, is this bag yours?” Then do you know what is inside?

“I know.” Mr. Xiao said casually. He reached out and Nangong Ning tried to avoid it, but his technique was very fast. In the next moment, the pouch was in his hand.

Mr. Xiao walked up to the Phoenix Heaven Emperor and said with a smile, “Your Highness, to be honest with you, this pouch was given to me by a young lady from outside the palace. Although it is not a good job, it is also a part of the little girl’s goodwill. I accept it. I put the fragrance in here and used it to calm down.

“Did the little girl send you?” Hearing this, the Emperor felt that there was a be rather baffling but he felt that nothing was wrong.

Mr. Xiao nodded and looked to one side. He looked at Imperial Doctor Song and said, “Yes, Imperial Doctor Song should know.”
