Lady Jiao - Chapter 16

Ning’er’s injuries healed quickly, with the nourishment of various precious medicines, plus Pei Jiu helping her heal her injuries every day, soon, Ning’er’s strength improved.

During this time, Ning’er has been thinking about when she should leave.

Pei Jiu is a very nice person, he spent countless precious herbs to heal his injuries, Ning’er didn’t know what Pei Jiu really wanted.

If it is said that Pei Jiu is greedy for her beauty, then the two of them lay on the same bed every night, and Ning’er never saw him do anything to her.

Pei Jiu deceived Su Zhou with the fake corpse, within a year, there will definitely be great changes in Nanqiu Kingdom, once a coup d’état, Ning’er will lose its value. Besides, Pei Jiu has already lied to Su Zhou, she can no longer be a bargaining chip, so Pei Jiu cannot cooperate with Su Zhou.

Excluding the above, Ning’er has only one idea. That is, Pei Jiu is really a good person. Rescue the dying, heal the wounded and protect the weak and good people.

Ning’er scratched her hair and thought for a while, Pei Jiu didn’t want such a delicate beauty, he had plenty of gold, silver and treasures, other than that, it seemed that she really had nothing to repay Pei Jiu.

However, since she survived, there will definitely be many opportunities to repay her in the future.

Ning’er must pay her debts and revenge, she will definitely not take advantage of Pei Jiu in vain.

After recovering from her injury, she may have to return to Nanqiu country.

Chaos broke out in Beiyuan Kingdom. King Liang disrespected the emperor in Beijing. King Liang and Concubine Jing were murdered by the emperor. Concubine Jing had King Yu at her knees. King Yu escaped and was escorted to Chu.

King Yu was only eleven years old, his elder brother and his mother were murdered, he was terrified by avoiding the pursuit for the past few days, after meeting Pei Jiu, King Yu Pei Ming immediately cried.

Pei Jiu asked someone to settle King Yu properly.

The current emperor is the son of Emperor Tianqi, and King Yu and King Liang are also sons of Emperor Tianqi. The emperor has soft ears and was manipulated by the Queen Mother. Now that King Yu is missing his elder brother and mother concubine, Pei Jiu feels that he can assist King Yu to take the throne.

He didn’t mind raising troops. Empress Dowager Xing and the emperor challenged his bottom line again and again, and now they just killed King Liang and Concubine Jing. If they became more arrogant after a while, they might kill more royal heirs.

Ning’er naturally didn’t know what happened to Pei Jiu.

She felt that she had recovered from her injuries, and it was not convenient for her to stay after disturbing Pei Jiu for a long time.

The distance between Lushan and Prince Chu’s Mansion is not too far. Recently, there are many people coming and going in the Prince Chu’s Mansion. Ning’er doesn’t like the atmosphere here. When there are too many people, she will inevitably be tied up. Therefore, Ning’er asked herself to go back to live on the mountain.

Pei Jiu was busy with King Yu’s affairs, so he didn’t have time to fight Ning’er, her little head didn’t know what was going on every day, so Pei Jiu agreed to her casually.

The imperial court asked Pei Jiu to hand over King Yu, but Pei Jiu refused to hand over and openly resisted the order, the emperor was already dissatisfied and asked him to return to Beijing to accept the crime. For a while, Pei Jiu was busy with his staff from morning to night, and when he openly broke with the court and the Chu army was ready to move, it was already January.

On New Year’s Eve, Pei Jiu had dinner with King Yu, and he didn’t feel anything was wrong while eating, after dinner, Pei Jiu realized that his ears were much clearer, as if he hadn’t seen Ning’er for a long time.

Asked the maid casually, the maid said: “Your Highness, Miss Yuan went back to the mountain, didn’t you agree?”

Pei Jiu was stunned for a moment.

King Yu sensed that Pei Jiu’s expression was not right, and asked, “Uncle Emperor, what’s the matter?”

Pei Jiu said: “Go and rest first, I’ll go out to see Miss Yuan.”

King Yu’s mood has already calmed down a lot. During this time, he has learned a lot from Pei Jiu’s presence.

King Yu said: “Miss Yuan? Is that the sister who is as beautiful as a fairy? She is very nice. I saw her a while ago, and she took me to the roof. She pointed to the map and asked where I think the scenery is the best. She has Time to play.”

Pei Jiu pinched the jade pendant around his waist with his slender fingers, and finally, he patted King Yu’s head: “Go back.”

It was already dark, and it was snowing outside.

Ning’er was born on the last day of the year, and today is actually her birthday.

In the beginning, Ning’er didn’t touch Yang Chunshui with her ten fingers, and she didn’t know how to do anything. However, during this time, after burning the roof and burning her hair a few times, she gradually learned to cook.

In the evening, Ning’er made herself a bowl of longevity noodles, but she couldn’t find any eggs, so she stole two bird eggs from the mountain and put them in the noodles.

Another name for snow is condensed rain.

On the day Ning’er was born, the weather was originally clear and cloudless for a whole day, but three hours after she was born, that is, at night, it snowed quietly, and when she woke up in the morning, there was a layer of snow on the ground.

Su Zhou once said that this scene is very beautiful, the snow is the cleanest and purest, and the auspicious snow heralds a good year and brings good luck, so she was named Ningyu.

There was also snow tonight, and she heard the rustling sound of snow falling outside.

Ning’er closed her eyes, and made a wish against the faint yellow candlelight.

In fact, she didn’t have any wishes. Now that she was free, although she felt a little guilty and uneasy in her heart, generally speaking, she was still very happy.

Ning’er clasped her fingers together, her long eyelashes covered her jet-black eyes, under the dim yellow candlelight, when she wasn’t smiling, she seemed a bit cold.

“The first wish is that the country of Nanqiu will be prosperous and the people will be safe, with strong soldiers and strong horses.”

She has always been greedy. In the past, at birthday parties, she would make five wishes.

“The second wish is that Su Zhou’s disaster will stay for a thousand years.”

“The third wish is that Ah Fei can marry a beloved man and be happy.”

“The fourth wish, the traitor King Rong has many misfortunes and will not end well.”

“The fifth wish…”

Ning’er didn’t know what her fifth wish should be. The first four wishes had nothing to do with her, and the last wish was always given to herself in the past.

But this year, she gave it to someone else.

“The fifth wish, I wish my benefactor Pei Jiu’s wishes to come true and be safe and smooth.”

At this moment, the door was pushed open suddenly, Pei Jiu walked in with a person covered in snow.

The cold wind blew in, and Ning’er was only wearing thin white clothes. She shuddered and her eyes lit up instantly: “Brother Pei!”

Pei Jiu let out a “hmm”.

He looked at Ning’er and frowned: “You’re dressed so thin, aren’t you cold?”

Ning’er smiled and said, “It’s indoors, it’s not cold.”

There was no fire in the cabin, but the temperature was not much different from the temperature outside.

Pei Jiu suddenly raised his hand to touch Ning’er’s forehead, her body temperature was normal.

Ning’er sat down and ate the noodles in small mouthfuls: “Brother Pei, have you eaten yet? If you haven’t eaten, hurry up and cook.”

“have eaten.”

Ning’er smiled and said, “It’s snowing so hard, why did you come here in the snow? Did you miss me?”

Pei Jiu looked at her: “No.”
