The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 156
……

When Ning Ningyan entered the guest room, Xuan Fengming was lying on the table and taking a nap. It seemed that yesterday must have been a difficult sleepless night.

Ning Ningyan slowly walked up to Xuan Fengming, and gently woke him up.

Xuan Fengming rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and when he saw that it was the young master, he hastily saluted.

"Little Lord……"

Ning Ningyan waved her hand, indicating that he doesn't need to be polite, turned her eyes and glanced at Jiangnantian who was lying on the bed, still unconscious, and said anxiously to Xuan Fengming: "Fengming, how is my father? Tell you How did things go?"

Xuan Fengming sighed slightly.

"Young master, I've already figured it out. What the pavilion master is targeting is the Seven-day Broken Soul Powder. According to my test, counting today, it's already the third day of poisoning..."

Ning Yanwen nodded her head, in fact, she had already made preparations in her heart.

"So, the seven-day soul-breaking powder you mentioned, is there any other cure?" It doesn't matter how many days the soul-breaking powder is, the most important thing is whether there is an antidote.

Xuan Fengming was a little hesitant, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Seeing this, Ning Yan became a little anxious, she couldn't help but grabbed Xuan Fengming's arm tightly, "Are you telling me, is there any way to cure this poison?"

Xuan Fengming said helplessly, "Back to the young master, there is naturally an antidote for the Seven Days Duan Hun San, but..."

There seemed to be a gleam of light in Ning Ningyan's eyes.

"but what?"

Xuan Fengming shook his head, "However, refining the antidote for the Qi Ri Duan Hun San requires a rare treasure, that is the Millennium Snow Lotus, which only grows on the snow-capped mountains in Saibei, not to mention whether it can be found, even if it can be found. It’s a long journey of thousands of miles to Saibei, I’m afraid it won’t work at all. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if there are materials, it will take seven days to refine the antidote for the Seven-day Duanhun powder, one day more or less. The Pavilion Master has been poisoned for three days now, if he is waiting to get the antidote ready, he may already be dead, and by then, even if the gods come, they will be powerless..."

Xuan Fengming told Ning Yan in detail, and told her all the difficulties. Following Xuan Fengming's words, the expression on Ning Yan's face became even colder. This was forcing her to see Nangong Jin. what?
"Is there no other way? As far as I know, you should have something called Baidudan, can't you use that to detoxify?" Ning Yan did not give up hope, she continued to ask.

Xuan Fengming shook his head again, "Young master, that's right, I have the Hundred Poison Pill, but it's not as magical as I said. It's okay to deal with ordinary poisons, such as this ecstasy medicine or the poison of snakes and insects. , but facing Qiri Duanhunsan..." He didn't go on with the rest of the sentence, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.

Ning Ningyan sat down on the chair suddenly, not knowing what to say...

There was silence in the guest room, even Jiangnan Tian's weak breathing sounded so clearly now.

Ning Ningyan sat on the chair blankly, speechless for a long time, and Xuan Fengming also looked helpless, this kind of thing that is obviously conditional but can't be realized at all is really too cruel.

"Young master, what should I do next..." Xuan Fengming asked lightly, asking for instructions from Ning Yan, in fact he could also see that Ning Yan's thoughts are also very complicated now.

"You...can you try your best to alleviate the medicinal effect of Duan Hun San, so that it can reduce the attack for a few days?" Ning Yan is still thinking hard, if the seven days can be extended, can it be done during this period? what?

Xuan Fengming said: "Young master, according to my medical skills, it is indeed possible to prolong it, but at most it can only be done for half a day, basically it is useless."

Xuan Fengming's words were like a ruthless whip waving again and again, whipping Ning Yan's scarred but hopeful heart again and again.

"Is there really no other way..." She said silently, as if she was asking Xuan Fengming, more like asking herself.

Xuan Fengming remained silent and said nothing more.

Anxiously expecting, what she never expected to get was such a result. Ning Yan's eyes were hazy for a moment, and she wanted to cry, but in the end she held back.

Yes, she is not such a character, she has already witnessed Chu Yishang die in front of her, this time she will never let her father walk the same path again.

Although, she hated him.

"Feng Ming, there is another solution that you didn't mention, right?" After a while, Ning Yan said, "Does it mean that if you want to save his life, you have to find a ready-made antidote?"

Xuan Fengming didn't nod his head, but the facts are like this. I also know that getting the antidote is no easier than finding that thousand-year-old snow lotus...

Because, the antidote must be in Nangong Jin's hands.

Coincidentally with Xuan Fengming, Ning Yan also thought of this name, her onion fingers were fiercely pinched into the palm of her hand, and her red lips were tightly pursed.

Nangong Jin, why are you doing this?What are you trying to do by playing this hard-to-get game over and over again?From childhood to adulthood, Ning Ningyan has never had such a feeling of entanglement with anyone for so many years, until she met this Nangong Jin twice, Ning Ningyan always had a feeling that at the beginning, she thought that she was the winner It was her, and it was only at the end that she gradually realized that she had been played and applauded by Nangong Jin unknowingly.

"Fengming, give him some medicine first, try to delay the time... Regarding the antidote, let me find a way." Ning Yan finally made up her mind, stood up, and said to Xuan Fengming.

"Young master! What do you want to do?!" Xuan Fengming seemed to realize something, he knew that Ning Yan was a person who kept his word and would do what he said, even if it cost his life.

"Could it be that you want to go to Jing'an Prince's Mansion to steal medicine? Absolutely not!" Xuan Fengming showed an anxious look on his face, trying to persuade Ning Yan to give up this idea.

"Fengming, don't say too much, I won't do that..." I don't know if Ning Yanyan really thought so when she said this sentence or to comfort Xuan Fengming.

"Young master, don't be like this. I know your character, and I know that you are eager to save the pavilion master, but as far as this matter is concerned, it is absolutely impossible." Xuan Fengming was still very worried, worried that he had just finished speaking. Ning Yanyan used a steady strategy to stabilize him, and then sneaked into the palace alone.

Ning Ningyan didn't feel annoyed at all by Xuan Fengming's persuasion, she unexpectedly showed a smile, Xuan Fengming could see clearly that this smile was so helpless, even a little hesitant.

"I know, although I am impatient, but you know, I am not a reckless person. I think it would be extremely difficult to steal anything from Nangong Jin when I was full of martial arts, let alone now. Well, I wouldn't take that risk."

Hearing this, Xuan Fengming didn't know if it was true or not. Just as he was about to say something, Ning Yan had already walked towards the door. Before going out, she turned her head again and told Xuan Fengming to delay as much as possible, Waiting for her news for a few days.

Now that the matter was over, Xuan Fengming couldn't say anything more, he could only watch helplessly as his young master went downstairs.

……

In the courtyard of Prince Jing'an's Mansion, Nangong Yuexi was playing with a puppy accompanied by her maid Xue'er. The puppy came here from nowhere. After being discovered by Nangong Yuexi, she raised her side.

Just under the eaves of the corridor not far away, Nangong Jin in a cotton robe stood majestically. The pair of deep eyes under the two sword eyebrows stared at Nangong Yuexi. She was dressed in a robe of hundreds of embroidered mountains and rivers, with a mighty aura.

The guard Chang Xin stood behind Nangong Jing with his head bowed, first secretly looked up at Nangong Jin's back, then opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it, he hesitated to speak.

However, in the next moment, Nangong Jin suddenly spoke, which shocked Chang Xin.

"What's the matter Chang Xin, what do you want to say? Don't hesitate." The voice was so cold and majestic.

"My lord, how do you know that I have something to say..."

"Huh..." Nangong Jin sneered, full of indifferent meaning, "If you still can't understand your mind, then this king is really confused."

"Yes, yes, what the lord said is true." Chang Xin echoed from the side.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Nangong Jin asked again, her eyes still not leaving Nangong Yuexi who was playing in the distance.

"This, I don't know if I should talk about it, but... I am really worried about the prince. The assassin who assassinated General Changning has escaped for the third day today. In the past three days, you have neither ordered the search of the city, nor Fortunately, the emperor and general Changning don't know about it now, but if the time goes by, if the fugitive really escapes, after all, the fire cannot be contained in the paper, and if the emperor asks him one day, what should the general do "Chang Xin told Nangong Jin about his worries. He has always been loyal to Nangong Jin, and he had some worries in his heart, so he naturally had to mention them.

Nangong Jin, who had been turning his back to him, immediately turned around when he heard the words. He stared at Chang Xin for a moment with piercing eyes, then suddenly smiled indifferently, and patted Chang Xin's shoulder vigorously.

"Chang Xin, I know the worries in your heart, but I remember telling you that everything is under my control now, so you don't have to worry. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the assassin really Run away, if the emperor blames me, I have my own way to deal with it, so I don't need to worry." Nangong Jin's words are full of domineering and self-confidence, revealing a kind of strategizing style of a general.

Hearing what the prince said, Chang Xin didn't say anything more, as it would be superfluous, he nodded again and again.

Suddenly, Nangong Jin seemed to remember something again, "By the way, Chang Xin, you come with me, I have something to explain to you..."
