Xiao Ting's slumber did not affect the outside world, but she talked about it non-stop for a few months, and then gradually skipped it, but for everyone in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, it was both joy and worry.
The happy thing is that their prince seems to have changed a little bit, and he has a deep relationship with the princess. For this reason, he did not hesitate to resist the order and refused to marry him. He even listened to the old man's words and used his internal strength to walk around his body every day to keep the princess from becoming stiff.
This was something that was unimaginable in the past, but now it has actually happened.
Not to mention whether this method is useful to Xiao Ting, but when the power of the whole country is at a loss, he persists like this, without a trace of hesitation, let alone a trace of reluctance.
This shows that the prince is really tempted by the princess.
But what puzzled everyone was that the prince would visit the princess every day, but he only stayed for half an hour. He never visited the princess at other times.
Such an affectionate and ruthless approach really confuses the people of Nine Princes' Mansion.
They are all guessing what kind of feelings the prince has for the concubine
Please forgive them mortals for not being able to understand the emotional world of immortals.
Lu Cai counted the hours, the door opened wide, and the Ninth Prince came out of the room, not staying for a moment.
It's almost like the time engraved in my heart, without any difference.
Still like every time, he strode away like this, without leaving any words, and never looked back.
Lvhuo and others hurried in to take care of Xiao Ting.
But Chu Yun was standing outside the house, looking at the bright lights inside, she walked towards the Jinghua Garden with small steps.
"Father, my son, please see me."
In Jinghuayuan, the Ninth Prince had just taken off his coat and was about to wash his hands when he heard Chu Yun's voice.
"Come in."
Compared with the brightly lit Lanyue Courtyard, there is only one candlestick lit here, and the six flames on it are not bright, and it is an understatement to sit on it safely.
Just like its master, it has never changed its appearance at any time, and it is still neither surprised nor disturbed.
"Father, are you all right?"
It was rare to see Chu Yun look so solemn, after the Ninth Prince washed his hands, he beckoned to her and sat down.
"What's wrong with Yun'er?"
Chu Yun nodded solemnly, and said, "Is that woman really hopeless?"
She was different from Xiao Xin, she didn't think that Xiao Ting would definitely wake up, after sleeping for so long, the famous doctors and poison sages all over the country couldn't figure it out, they didn't know what was wrong, who could save her.
Only they would foolishly believe that she would wake up one day.
The Ninth Prince did not speak, but hugged her up. The father and daughter sat at the desk, and the Ninth Prince taught her to write. For a while, no one mentioned Xiao Ting's matter.
After a while, the night was getting dark, Chu Yun left, the Ninth Prince got up and stood in front of the window, the courtyard was still white, desolate, without a trace of popularity.
A figure stepped on the moon, knocked on the door and walked in.
The visitor and the Ninth Prince looked at each other, shook their heads, but before saying anything, the Ninth Prince turned to face out of the window and stopped looking at him.
"A Li, why are you doing this?"
Yuchi strolled forward with a cold heart, stopped when he was a foot away from him, and said: "Princess, she is a lucky woman with a natural appearance, you don't have to worry too much."
"This king wants to live longer."
This is the reason why the Ninth Prince told his friends why he would do everything to save Xiao Ting.
Of course, for this reason, Steward Mu and those close to him are understandable, as long as the master is happy, you can say whatever you want.
"Master's whereabouts have always been erratic. Maybe he is no longer in the various countries, and maybe he has gone overseas."
Yuchi explained bitterly that his main purpose in the past few months was to find his master, maybe only he could cure Xiao Ting, and if he continued to spend so much, he was afraid that Ah Li would be the first to lose.
The Ninth Prince didn't speak any more, Yuchi felt a little frustrated, "What are you going to do next?"
The matter has spread to five countries and ten places. If the master knows, he will definitely return. If he does not return, then there are only two possibilities.
First, he has not received the news yet.
Second, he is unwilling to save people.
But Yuchi's chills are more inclined to the second option, after all, Professor Shizun's philosophy runs counter to Ah Li's current approach.
He was a little worried about what the outcome would be if the two of them continued to fight like this.
"She'll wake up."
Ninth Prince only said these four words, then waved him away.
Yuchi was stunned, how could he just leave like this, he said anxiously: "There is no way for you to go on like this, doesn't your body know it?"
"Also, the princess is not sick at all. You should be clear that she was harmed by others. We can only wake her up by finding the real culprit behind the scenes. Ah Li, don't go on like this."
The Ninth Prince looked back and asked, "Aren't you responsible for this matter? Did she say anything?"
Hearing this, Yuchi frowned bitterly, and said: "She admits that she did it, but no matter what kind of torture she suffers, she will not reveal who is behind her."
He also had no choice but to meet someone who was not afraid of death, there was nothing he could do.
Ninth Prince thought for a moment, and said: "Lead the way, I will go and have a look."
The back garden of the palace, since Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince got lost here, very few people came here. Everyone in the palace knew that it had become a forbidden area, and they were not allowed to walk around at will.
At this moment, in a well-swept courtyard, the snow has been swept out into a path. The Ninth Prince is walking in the front, and there are hidden guards guarding here. Seeing him coming, he immediately dodges to salute.
Ninth Prince didn't say anything, someone had already opened the door and invited him in.
It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but the interior layout is very scary.
As if walking into a prison cell, a smell of blood came out, and a sultry breath rushed towards his face.
In the eye, a small soup spring was rising with mist, and muffled humming sounds came out as they approached.
The Ninth Prince waved his sleeves, and the mist dispersed to reveal a thin figure in the pool.
It was a woman in black, her whole body except her neck was immersed in the black water, her face had a hideous expression, it was obvious that she was enduring inhuman torture.
Her eyes were surprisingly big, and her whole face was clinging to her bones, completely losing her human form.
"Pull her up!"
The Ninth Prince glanced over lightly, and knew the severity of her injuries.
If so, after the woman was pulled up, her whole body was limp and clinging to the ground, like a boneless object, twisted badly.
After the people present pulled her up, they left.
Yuchi said in a cold voice, "Ning Ning, the concubine has always treated you kindly. If you tell the mastermind behind the scenes, the prince will spare your life. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will be let go, and you will be just a useless person."
Ning Ning approached Xiao Ting with a purpose from the beginning, the Ninth Prince knew about it, Yu Chi Xinhan knew about it, even Xiao Ting knew about it.
But what they knew was that Ning Ning must have been sent to monitor the Ninth Prince, or to be close to the Ninth Prince.
Unexpectedly, her target was Xiao Ting.
This point, I'm afraid even Xiao Ting didn't think about it. After all, Ning Ning wants to kill her, and there are plenty of opportunities.
Heavy panting resounded in the room, and Yuchi's chilling words had stopped for a while before Ning Ning coughed a few more times and asked, "Princess still not awake?"
"What did you do to her?" Yuchi felt ashamed, for half a month, he was really helpless with this woman.
No matter what Yuchi Xinhan said, Ning Ning didn't speak anymore, but lay there lying there, seeming to enjoy this short rest time.
The Ninth Prince stepped forward, and finally stopped a step away from Ning Ning, squatted down, and his robe brushed the ground, black water stains stained the green robe, and a flower bloomed.
Then, he stretched out his hand and quickly photographed it, grabbing Ning Ning's wrist in an instant.
Ning Ning suddenly struggled violently, but unfortunately she had no strength at all, unable to break free from the plain hand that clamped her white wrist.
"You, let me go..." She could only reprimand weakly.
The next moment, the Ninth Prince let go of her wrist, got up and walked out.
Yuchi was at a loss in his heart, and just about to ask something, he heard the faint order from the Ninth Prince.
"Find ten men to serve her day and night."
When Yuchi heard the words, he shuddered tremblingly, this woman was doomed, and being able to make Ah Li angry to such an extent was considered unique.
Back then, when Xu Lingyue married that incompetent son Rui in order to save Ah Li, she didn't see him bursting into anger, but felt a little guilty.
"No..." Ning Ning tried to resist, and there was a splash, and she was thrown into the water again, the iron chains were churning, and her hands and feet were also locked.
In the second half of the night, there was a horrific cry here, as if experiencing the most tragic thing in the world.
The pool where Ning Ning is located is Xiyuan Pool, a very poetic name.
However, for people in the Jianghu, this is a taboo existence.
The pool is divided into yin and yang, half of which is as dark as ink, half of which is clear to the bottom, half of which is fire and half of ice, half of which can greatly increase one's cultivation skills, and the other half can instantly turn one into a cripple.
This is the fastest way to destroy a martial arts practitioner.
The bones will soften little by little, and become a real useless person, and a person with a huge poison in his body.
But still won't die.
Therefore, Yuchi Xinhan will torture her in this way, but Ning Ning has never been afraid from the beginning to the end, it seems that she has long thought that such a day will come.
She readily accepted that since she was arrested, she hadn't even resisted at all, she was going to die, but she didn't commit suicide.
Hearing her cry, Yuchi leaned against the tree trunk, squinted at the Ninth Prince, and said, "I thought you would disdain to use this method to deal with women."
"This king is helping her."
Yuchi was chilling and noncommittal, and didn't believe his words.
The Ninth Prince said in a deep voice, under the moonlit night, two equally outstanding men were looking up at the moon, but there were shrill screams in their ears.
This scene is really weird.
The moon was slanting westward, and occasionally a dark cloud drifted past, covering people's eyes. The door of the room was wide open, and a person came out from inside and told, "Master, the child has fallen."
"Boy, kid..." Yuchi almost bit his own tongue in dismay, what kid
Hearing the words, the Ninth Prince strode over. There was every smell in the room. His expression didn't change a bit. He walked to the side of Xiyuan Pool, looked at the woman who was no longer in shape, and said, "This is just the beginning. You'd better pray that this king can't find anyone related to you, otherwise..."
