Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 253: Rebirth of the Poisonous Scheme

After Princess Jingyu left, the maidservant beside Bai Jinyuan stepped forward uneasily and frowned.

"Miss, Princess Jingyu is not easy to deal with. Has anyone who has worked with her before ever truly taken advantage of her? She, on the other hand, always manages to escape unscathed!"

Bai Jinyuan, who was behind the crowd, had long lost her previous confident look and said with a wry smile and gritted teeth.

"I know that, too. But if I had another way, I wouldn't have taken such a risky move and tried to get the skin of a tiger."

"That……"

The maid was about to persuade her again when she heard Bai Jinyuan say angrily.

"Jiang Lige's previous vicious scheme not only forced me to swear a poisonous oath before His Majesty, but also completely humiliated me in front of the Empress! Now the Bai family is getting worse by the day. If I can't find another way out, I will be expelled from the palace at the age of twenty-five and live out my life! I won't accept this! I must live a better life than anyone else!"

"But Miss, the Crown Prince is a tough nut to crack. He has a bad temper and has someone else in his heart. He's really not the best choice for you to entrust your life to!"

"What do you know!"

Bai Jinyuan scolded him before saying, "In this world, there is no one more suitable for me than Ning Yunxiao."

After Bai Jinyuan said this, the maid dared not argue anymore. She could only nod and serve respectfully by her side, letting her mistress do whatever she wanted.

While others were plotting evil, Jiang Lige and Ning Yunxiao were comforting Zheng Baoyao on both sides.

Deng Sijiu, that fellow, had a cousin who grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart come to his house. She spoke sweetly to him and threw herself into his arms, but Zheng Baoyao caught her red-handed.

So, she came to Jiang Lige crying.

Ning Yunxiao was troubled by Zheng Baoyao's incessant crying. He didn't know how to comfort her when he encountered such a thing, so he had to think carefully.

"According to what you said, this is just the Deng cousin's wishful thinking. Sijiu didn't do anything, did she? Why are you angry with him?"

"What else does he want to do!"

Zheng Baoyao stared at him with her big red and swollen eyes, and slammed the table in anger.

"He should be thankful that he didn't do anything, otherwise it wouldn't be me crying today! It would be him!"

Jiang Lige also nodded in agreement, "Yes, knowing that his cousin had ulterior motives towards him, he should have stayed away from her. He doesn't have to be scolded just because he made a mistake. Since he likes Baoyao, he should have also considered her well. He shouldn't be so affectionate!"

Zheng Baoyao nodded heavily, "That's right, if it happens again I... I will..."

Jiang Lige just gave a bad idea, "Just castrate him!"

"Correct!"

"..."

Ning Yunxiao heard the two sisters conspiring to determine Deng Sijiu's guilt, and subconsciously pursed his lips and shut up.

Zheng Baoyao slowly calmed down and suddenly came over to gossip.

"Then Li Ge, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to have affairs with other women outside, would you also be so cruel?"

Jiang Lige nodded without hesitation, "Of course!"

“…” Ning Yunxiao became more silent.

Jiang Lige pretended not to hear and paused for a moment before adding.

"Not really. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince carries the future of Sheng Ling and the peace between the two countries on his shoulders. I dare not touch him. But if he really is having an affair with another woman, I will not marry him! He can marry whoever he wants!"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's how it should be!"

Zheng Baoyao was cheering, completely ignoring the look in the eyes of Ning Yunxiao, the swordsman standing beside her.

The two people over there were having a great time, and after some comfort, Zheng Baoyao finally stopped crying.

Jiang Lige glanced at Ning Yunxiao with a hint of pride, but saw that the man had a sad face. It seemed that he cared a lot about what Jiang Lige had just said.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige stuck out his tongue at Ning Yunxiao and was about to explain, but he heard the man say something that was incoherent.

"No."

"what?"

Jiang Lige was stunned. Before he could react, Ning Yunxiao grabbed his hand without any explanation. Then he repeated it solemnly as if to emphasize.

"I said no, you can't not marry me, you can't leave me."

Jiang Lige smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Your Highness has no say in this matter. If you make me angry, I will leave and never see you again in my life."

"No matter where you go, even to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back and tie you to my side."

Ning Yunxiao's overly passionate gaze made Jiang Lige's cheeks red. Not knowing how to relieve himself, he simply asked back in a stupid way.

"So, Your Highness means that you can have affairs with other women?"

"I won't either." Ning Yunxiao answered confidently, "I definitely won't."

After receiving Ning Yunxiao's assurance, Jiang Lige felt indescribably happy, but he raised his chin proudly and smiled.

"I understand. I accept your letter of guarantee."

Ning Yunxiao also followed her lead, and the two smiled at each other. Zheng Baoyao, who was "troubled by love", couldn't help but curl her lips, but she was sensible enough not to disturb this warm scene.

Some people are sensible, while others are not, such as Gu Fan who rushed into the house in a hurry from outside.

"Your Highness!"

After Gu Fan called out, he quickly pulled Ning Yunxiao aside and whispered something to him.

Hearing this, Ning Yunxiao awkwardly rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand and explained to Jiang Lige, "A-Li, I have to go out for something."

Then his expression straightened up a little, and he said hello to Jiang Lige and hurried away with his men.

After leaving Qingge Cottage, Ning Yunxiao lowered his voice and asked Gu Fan.

"Where's the Dunsi wine man?"

Gu Fan pointed helplessly in the direction of the East Palace and said, "I brought a lot of good wine to the East Palace and I'm drinking it inside right now."

Ning Yunxiao closed his eyes and rubbed his brows, "Let's go and take a look."

……

When Ning Yunxiao walked into the main hall of the East Palace, Deng Sijiu was holding a jar of wine and was drunk. When he saw Ning Yunxiao, he rushed over with the jar of wine in his arms.

"Your Highness, come and drink with me. I spent a lot of money to buy this fine girl's red wine."

As he spoke, Deng Sijiu staggered and almost fell headfirst onto Ning Yunxiao.

Ning Yunxiao wanted to persuade Deng Sijiu, but he also had to save his face, so he dismissed everyone.

"Everyone, go out. Come back when I call you."

Everyone retreated in response, and Ning Yunxiao sighed, helped Deng Sijiu up, and advised.

"Why drink? You should go and coax Zheng Baoyao."

"She doesn't believe me, I won't go!"

Deng Sijiu got angry and sat down on the ground with the wine jar in his arms, like a child throwing a tantrum, and slumped to the ground in grievance.

Ning Yunxiao had just finished trying to persuade Zheng Baoyao to stop complaining, and now listening to Deng Sijiu's words, he felt overwhelmed and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. He then sat down opposite Deng Sijiu.

Deng Sijiu was tired of talking, so he poured a bowl of wine from the teacup on the table and handed it to Ning Yunxiao.

"Have a drink with me?"

"good ."

Ning Yunxiao didn't refuse. He took a gulp of the liquor, and the burning sensation spread from his throat all the way to his head. Before he could even react, he felt his vision go black...

Lost consciousness instantly!
