ARDA - Chapter 164 - It Was You Who Abandoned Me First

 Chu Yunli is looking for her?

Jiang Ning thought about it and realized that she had also prepared the Ninth Prince's heart-protecting medicine. It would be better to send it to Chu Yunli when she went to see him.

"Okay." Jiang Ning agreed.

At night, Jiang Ning jumped over the courtyard wall and went to Chu Yunli's private house.

She was used to doing things at night. It was more convenient than meeting outside during the day, and she didn't have to worry about others seeing her.

When the secret guards in Chu Yunli's house saw it was Miss Jiang, they all withdrew their gaze. Miss Jiang had come to the master's house several times, and they were all used to it.

Jiang Ning knocked on the door, "Lord Chu."

"Come in." Chu Yunli's cold voice came.

Jiang Ning pushed the door open and walked in. Chu Yunli seemed to have just changed into plain clothes and was sorting out his clothes.

Under the illumination of the warm oil lamp, Chu Yunli's side face looked gentle. With his fair and slender fingers, he picked up the ribbon and carefully arranged it.

Jiang Ning's gaze followed him and she saw his narrow waist, showing through the long clothes, and seemed to be able to feel the muscle lines. She couldn't help but be startled and immediately looked away.

She doesn’t know why, but her cheeks felt hot.

Jiang Ning immediately calmed herself down and breathed deeply.

She walked over, took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve, put it down, and said, "Lord Chu, this is the Ninth Prince's heart-protecting medicine. Some medicinal materials have been adjusted according to the Ninth Prince's physical condition. Let the Ninth Prince try taking this heart-protecting medicine. If there is any abnormal reaction, stop taking the medicine immediately."

Although Jiang Ning said this, her tone was very confident. She knew that there would be no problems with the medicine she made.

"Okay." Chu Yunli responded, turned around, and faced Jiang Ning.

He wore a white long coat and looked handsome. Compared with the black brocade sweatshirt, he looked cooler and more handsome.

Jiang Ning lowered her gaze and did not forget her original purpose. She asked, "Lord Chu came to see me. What's the matter?"

"Yes." Chu Yunli nodded lightly, pointed to the wooden box on the table, and said, "This is a thank-you gift from the Empress Mother. She forgot to give it to you the last time you were in the palace."

"Empress Mother?"

Jiang Ning was surprised. She didn't expect the Empress to reward her with something.

She walked over and opened the wooden box. It was full of valuable jewelry, including goose egg-sized luminous pearls and the finest Western rubies. She suddenly felt pressured. "This, this is too expensive..."

Chu Yunli was slightly startled when he saw the contents of the wooden box.

He didn't expect these things... 

When he entered the palace, the Empress tried her best to urge him to start a family. She said she had prepared several boxes of good things for his future wife.

In retrospect, the nanny in the palace winked at him when she brought the wooden box over.

"Oh, the Empress is so forgetful that she forgot to reward Miss Jiang... Miss Jiang saved the life of His Highness Ninth Prince, so she should be thanked heavily. The contents of this wooden box are a thank you gift."

"Asking Master Chu to forward it to Miss Jiang."

When the old nanny said it, she kept winking and hinting.

Chu Yunli thought that the old woman had eye discomfort and cramps.

He didn’t expect the Empress to have such thoughts...

Jiang Ning raised her face and looked at Chu Yunli, "Lord Chu, the Empress' reward is too valuable. I can't accept... the pills to treat His Highness Ninth Prince, just give me the medical fee on the market. There is no need for such big gifts."

After Chu Yunli learned about the Empress' special thoughts, his face could not calm down and he coughed twice.

"How can you refuse the reward from the Empress? Since she has given it, just accept it."

"This……"

Jiang Ning didn't know whether to accept these valuable things, but she felt they were extraordinary at first sight. They were precious jewelry that could not be seen on the market, and they could be regarded as family heirlooms.

"...Okay." She accepted it anyway.

In this case, she must do her best to nurse the Ninth Prince and cure the Ninth Prince's heart disease.

Chu Yunli looked at Jiang Ning. He heard some rumors about the Marquis Mansion.

He asked, "Did something happen to the Jiang family? Do you need my help?" Although his words were light, his eyes were serious. As long as Jiang Ning spoke, he would investigate thoroughly.

Jiang Ning was a little hesitant, not sure whether to trouble Chu Yunli.

Jiang Mengyue is always a hidden danger, and knowing what will happen in the future is the biggest trouble.

Finally, she frowned and said, "Lord Chu, I have something I want you to help me with."

.........

Another place.

Jiang Mengyue didn't fall asleep. In the dead of night, she walked over and lit the oil lamp.

Then he took out the rosewood box, opened it, and took out the cyan jade pendant inside.

The jade pendant looks unremarkable, just an ordinary jade pendant, just a little thicker than ordinary jade pendants.

Jiang Mengyue's face was cold. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, half of her face was deep in darkness, as if she had crawled out of hell. It was eerie and terrifying.

She held the cyan jade pendant, touched the gap in the middle, and opened it with force.

The jade pendant immediately split into half, and the middle of the jade pendant turned out to be hollow, with folded paper placed there.

After seeing the folded paper, she smiled coldly and raised the corners of her lips.

"You abandoned me first, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Thinking of what would happen in the future, Jiang Mengyue's smile was strange and cold.

After confirming the Jade pendant's content, she put them back in their original places, put them in a rosewood box, and kept them carefully.

"My current strength is still too weak... The Marquis Mansion can crush me to death with just one finger..." Jiang Mengyue's face was grave, biting her nails. The Marquis Mansion must have known about her escape, and would definitely send someone to look for her.

Even if she holds the jade pendant, it will not be effective. She must find a strong backer.

As for Jin Jingxiu...

Hey, what role can a small Jin family play? Jin Jingxiu is just a stepping stone for her.

The person she really wants to cling to is the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince...

Jiang Mengyue thought of the fourth prince, the husband in her dream. The fourth prince was extraordinary in appearance, elegant and refined, just like an immortal. In his previous life, the fourth prince secretly controlled the power and forced the crown prince to abdicate.

In this life, with her help, he will definitely ascend to the throne and become the Emperor.

Jiang Mengyue couldn't help but feel excited that such a perfect person would become her husband.

She needed to meet the fourth prince earlier.

But what should she do to meet the fourth prince? 

Jiang Mengyue bit her lower lip lightly and couldn't help but feel distressed.

In the days that followed, Jiang Mengyue thought of many ways, but failed to reach the fourth prince. The fourth prince looked sick and frail, but the guards around him were even stricter than the crown prince.

Getting close to him is harder than reaching the sky.

It was a coincidence that Jiang Ning came into contact with the Fourth Prince that day.

Jiang Mengyue felt uneasy. If she continued like this, one day the Marquis Mansion would find her. Then it would not be as simple as sending her to the villa. Lord Jiang was cold and ruthless and would definitely deal with her.

"No!" She was still frightened.

"It seems that she can only think of other ways and start somewhere else."
