One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Bu Jinglan was stunned. She didn't think that Shen Ninghua would reject her in such a straightforward manner. A ray of light flashed in her eyes, causing people to be unable to grasp it, "Princess, please consider carefully. I won't disturb you any further." As he spoke, he stood up and left, not giving Shen Ninghua a chance to speak again.

Shen Ninghua put down the teacup in her hand and lightly stroked her wrist. This straightforward test was really interesting.

From time to time, people would gather in the main hall to cheer for Baili An, who was performing the zither. Bu Jinglan chose a spot not too far away and stood there with a smile on her face, occasionally showing an appreciative look.

After a long while, Baili An finished playing. The crowd immediately burst into cheers. The ninth princess' Baili Anqing might have been pushed by someone, but his legs were crooked and he almost fell to the ground.

Bu Jinglan immediately went forward to support her. He lowered his head and asked, "What happened to the princess? Did you break your foot? "

Baili Anqing's face turned red, as if his entire body was on fire. He nodded his head in a soft voice, "I can't stand still for a while. I've let the Sixth Prince down."

"Not at all." Bu Jinglan smiled in a gentle and composed manner. When he saw that the mama had stepped forward to support Baili Anqing, he politely let go of her hand and took two steps away from her.

Because it was a simple welcoming banquet, it did not last long. After two hours, the banquet was declared over.

After leaving the palace and returning to the princess' mansion, the mama by Xia Jingqiu's side immediately requested an audience.

"Princess, I beg of you to find an imperial physician for our young lady. Her illness is getting worse and worse. She's been suffering from a high fever for the past few days, and she's completely befuddled."

Recently, Yang Yingxue's side had been very quiet. Shen Ninghua had almost forgotten about the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion. Didn't your body recover a while ago? Why are you still having a fever? "

The mama's face was filled with tears and grief. "This old servant doesn't know either. I've secretly invited quite a few doctors over the past few days, but they were all useless. Miss's condition hasn't been well since the beginning …."

Shen Ninghua frowned, "Then why didn't you report this earlier?"

"Princess, please calm your anger. Madam saw that the princess was busy dealing with the Second Prince's wife's funeral and needed to attend various banquets, so she could not bear to trouble you any longer. That was why she did not tell you." Princess, please calm your anger, Madame saw that the princess was busy dealing with the Second Prince's wife, and needed to attend various banquets.

Last time, Zhang Nian said that Yang Yingxue had taken a medicine that could make people have a high fever. This time, he did not know if it was because she was really sick or if she was pretending to be. "Bai Xiang, come with me to have a look."

"Aunt, I've heard that my cousin has been sick all this time and has sent for an imperial physician."

Xia Jingqiu was sitting beside Yang Yingxue, wiping her forehead with a handkerchief, "Ninghua, you've come. If it's possible, I wouldn't want to trouble you, but your cousin's situation …"

"A family doesn't need to talk about two things, Aunt doesn't need to be polite with me. No matter how busy she is, I still have to do what I have to do. "The imperial physician will be coming soon."

After about an hour, Zhang Nian rushed over with the medicine box. Behind him was a man wearing a moon-white silk robe. The man had a slender figure and a handsome face. His movements carried a noble aura. He was the current Second Prince, Baili JinChuan. When Xia Jingqiu saw the flash of excitement in Baili JinChuan's eyes, she tightened her grip on Yang Yingxue.

Shen Ninghua lowered her gaze, concealing all her emotions under her long eyelashes, "Greetings to the Second Prince. Why is His Highness here?"

Seeing Lady Xia in the room, Baili JinChuan slightly frowned. He thought that Shen Ninghua was not feeling well when he met the servant that went to invite Zhang Nian, so he followed her to take a look.

"I just met Doctor Zhang on the way, so I came to take a look."

"Ugh …" Mother, my head hurts … " Yang Yingxue moaned as she reached out to touch her forehead. Her eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes, then she widened her eyes in surprise, "Second prince, cousin, you've come over. It's inconvenient for me to stand up and bow …."

When Shen Ninghua saw Yang Yingxue, she was momentarily stunned. In the past, Yang Yingxue's appearance could already be considered superior, but the only flaw was that she was somewhat pure. But now, looking at her, there was not a single unsightly beauty about her.

Seeing such a breathtaking beauty, Baili JinChuan was stunned for a moment, "Miss Yang is not feeling well, so there is no need to care about those formalities. "I've heard that Miss Yang is not feeling well, but has not had the time to come visit. Since she came in a hurry today and didn't have the time to prepare a present, she will definitely come back another day to make up for it."

Yang Yingxue smiled. Her smile was as gentle as the clouds in the sky, and it carried a hint of light meaning, making people feel that it was natural, but not overly intimate. "Second Prince, I am already very happy to be able to visit you. I have been very ill these two days, so it's best for second prince not to stay here for too long, in case I get sick. " As he said that, he raised his sleeves to cover his face, looking slightly tired.

Seeing a beauty acting this way, who could bear to refuse her?

Baili JinChuan nodded, "Miss Yang, please take care of your rest. The princess will definitely send someone to take care of you. I will come again another day."

"Thank you, Second Prince." Yang Yingxue smiled at the Second Prince and turned to look at Shen Ninghua. With an apologetic expression, she said, "Cousin sister, I've made you worry."

"Cousin, you don't need to be so courteous. Just focus on recuperating, and after a few more days, it will be the Spring Festival. I was even thinking of inviting Cousin to go have some fun with me. You better hurry up and take care of yourself." Right now, it was as if Yang Yingxue had been reborn. No matter how he looked at it, it felt good to his heart. Shen Ninghua couldn't help but feel a little interested.

"Yes, I will definitely make an appointment." Yang Yingxue smiled gently. Her beauty was like a hibiscus tree, indescribably beautiful.

The few of them exchanged a few more words before Shen Ninghua and Baili JinChuan left.

After leaving the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion, Baili JinChuan didn't say goodbye, but instead walked towards the waterside pavilion, "Ninghua, don't you mind sitting with me for a while?"

Shen Ninghua paused for a moment before she turned around and walked to the pavilion and sat down. "What is the Second Prince trying to say?"

Baili JinChuan carefully looked at Shen Ninghua. It was as if he wanted to see through her body to her heart, "You were the one who planned the Zhou family's matter?"

Shen Ninghua's expression turned cold, "What does His Highness mean by that? The person who chose to give up on treating the second prince's consort was you, Your Highness, right? "

"Zhou's body has already reached the end of its lifespan. Even if she was healed, she would only be lying down. With such suffering, it would be better to give her peace." As Baili JinChuan spoke, his tone gradually became angrier, "Qinghua, it's I who gave up on her treatment, but I didn't destroy her reputation!"

Shen Ninghua raised his head and met his sharp gaze. His eyes did not have the slightest trace of withdrawal as he said, "What does the Second Prince mean by this? You suspect that I had destroyed the reputation of the second prince's consort? "

"Isn't it?" Baili Jinchuan sneered.

Shen Ninghua's expression was unperturbed, but his tone carried a hint of sarcasm. "Of course not. If the Second Prince had not given up on treating the Second Imperial Consort, then there would not be a funeral ceremony; if the Second Prince's consort was still alive, then her mother, the Qin, would never accuse me of murdering the prince's consort; if she did not falsely accuse me, then naturally, she would not be able to implicate Peach Blossom and the son of the Duke's household's butler; therefore, the Second Prince's consort would not dare to try to confuse the royal bloodline.

Baili JinChuan suddenly gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead began to bulge, "Ningxia, why did I do this? Don't you know?"

Shen Ninghua gave a self-deprecating laugh. "What should I know?" Do you know what methods you used to frame me for me to marry you? "

"You …" Baili Jinchuan clenched his fist, his face looked extremely ugly, "Are you going to trample on my sincerity?"

Seeing his furious expression, Shen Ninghua almost laughed out loud. If someone who didn't know about the inside story saw his expression, they would have thought that they had betrayed his love for them. It was a pity that he had spoken the truth in order to use a method to ruin her reputation to force her to agree to the marriage.

If not for her astuteness in revealing the ugly things the second prince's consort had done and for the emperor to directly exterminate the Zhou family, the news of her 'personal relationship' with the second prince consort would have already spread throughout the capital. This personal relationship was naturally the relationship between her and the second prince.

No matter how much Baili Qingyuan valued her, could he compare to his own son? In the end, under the control and manipulation of Baili JinChuan, she definitely wouldn't die, but she wouldn't be able to escape from the Second Prince's Mansion.

However, you have rejected me time and time again, causing me to lose my patience. However, I have long planned out a way for you to leave, as long as you marry into the Second Prince's estate, I will arrange for you to correct your name, show father the truth of the Zhou's death, and return your innocence. When that time comes, father will definitely feel guilty towards you, and when you have a son, I will immediately promote you to be the main wife and honor you.

Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing out loud. He originally thought that Jin Chuan would be his friend, but now, it seemed that he wouldn't even be able to be friends with this kind of person!

"First, I'll cripple you, and then I'll cure you. Will you be grateful to me?"

Being stared at by that pair of beautiful, angry eyes, Baili JinChuan's heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Ninghua's wrist, "Ninghua, I know I went too far, but I was muddle-headed for a moment. It was because I liked you too much that I couldn't control it, ah …"

A sharp pain came from his hand, causing Baili Qingfeng to suddenly stop. He lowered his head to look at his bruised finger, and then abruptly let go of it.

Shen Ninghua gently stroked her red wrist, a trace of disgust flashing across her eyes. "Second Prince, men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other. You'd better not touch me carelessly."
