My Rebellious Vicious Concubine Chapter 10: Her Presence Is Embarrassing The Lord

Proofread by Men Shunde

Jun Zixuan, the Crown Prince, is too surprised to speak when he sees a man in a reddish-black costume coming in with his hands clasped behind his back.

He didn't expect to see his uncle Regent Jun Qianye himself here for his uncle is always supercilious. Except for the emperor, Jun Qianye never pretends to pay lip service to anyone, including Jun Zixuan, the Crown Prince.

What the Crown Prince expected to see here today is Weichu, the first general of Jun Qianye. He never thought that Jun Qianye himself would come out to meet him.

Jun Zixuan feels less confident now, not only because of his surprise, but because of the cold and proud imposing manner of Jun Qianye, albeit much refrained.

He quickly bows and greets Jun Qianye by cupping one hand in the other before his chest, saying, "It is a great honor to see you, my uncle!"

"Why are you here on your wedding day?" Asks the Regent with a serious look in his deep eyes.

Jun Zixuan's face stiffens.

It is the Crown Prince's wedding day today, but his uncle Regent Jun Qianye does not show up at the wedding without giving an excuse. However, Jun Zixuan has to conceal his unhappiness.

"I have some information for you, Uncle Regent. I am informed that the woman, Nangong Ning, has run into your Mansion. That's why I come here at the deep night."

Jun Qianye's eyes move a little.

Jun Zixuan adds an explanation quickly, "Nangong Ning is the eldest daughter of the Nangong family and she was my fiancée, and the prospective Crown Princess, too. But today, she ran away from the wedding and sent her cousin Nangong Qingyao to marry me instead. You see, how ridiculous and insane the woman is! So I come here to …"

"She has run into my Mansion? Where did you get that information?" Queries Jun Qianye directly with his sinking dark eyes looking at the Crown Prince.

  Jun Zixuan feels something insecure in his heart, and he replies, "It is someone from my Eastern Palace who informed me …" but then, with a second thought, he changes his tune and queries back, "Do you mean she is not here?"

Jun Qianye does not answer.

Meanwhile, Mr. Zong and Weichu arrive there. Having heard their dialogue, both Mr. Zong and Weichu couldn't help looking at their Lord.

With their eyes looking at him, Jun Qianye calmly replies, "Of course, she is not here."

Just then, a feeble female voice breaks out, interrupting their dialogue abruptly, "I am here!"

Everyone present is shocked by the voice.

They all look up and see a girl, awkward, feeble, and shabby, who has just come in. When the girl catches a glimpse of Mr. Zong, her confused eyes become a little clearer, saying, "Fat … Old Man, there is no 'the gra.s.s of the nether world' (e.g. pinesap) among the herbs. Why didn't you have it purchased?"

Mr. Zong is so surprised to see her, asking, "Is it you Miss Nangong?"

He couldn't trust his own eyes.

Is it Miss Nangong coming back to life, who had died of the outbreak of the toxins?

Nangong Ning nods her head with her brows furrowed, for she is too painful to speak at the moment.

Mr. Zong turns his eyes to Jun Qianye in panic, and finds that the Lord's face turns awkward.

It is no wonder for Jun Qianye to have such a look on his face, for he has just said to the Crown Prince that Miss Nangong is not here.

No sooner had he told a lie than Nangong Ning herself came out to debunk the lie. How embarra.s.sing it is!

Jun Zixuan is also stunned.

He recognizes Nangong Ning as soon as she comes in albeit her little dirty face, for he knows her.　

"It's you, Nangong Ning! It is true that you are here!"

Nangong Ning is very weak, and her face turns deathly pale when frightened by his sudden shouting. She raises her eyes, saying with an unpleased tune, "Keep your voice down! You are too noisy!"

"… " JunZixuan is too surprised to speak.

How dare Nangong Ning talk to him like this! What the h.e.l.l has she become of?

He would have shouted again, but suddenly he feels a severe look from behind, which makes him s.h.i.+ver a little.

He knows Nangong Ning inside out. It is absolutely impossible for her to have talked to him like that!

Maybe it is because of Jun Qianye?

Uncle regent is her patron?

Yes! My uncle Jun Qianye just said that she was not here. It is clear that he wanted to take her under his wing!

Jun Zixuan doesn't know what to do at a time.

At the beginning he felt uneasy at the idea to search for Nangong Ning in his uncle's Mansion. However, he has to do so just for the object that she owns. But if she is under the protection of Jun Qianye, what should he do?

With his current strength, he is unable to compete with his uncle Jun Qianye.

Seeing that no one is greeting her, Nangong Ning steps up and seizes Mr. Zong by his sleeve, saying, "I want 'the gra.s.s of the nether world'! Please give me 'the gra.s.s of the nether world'!"

"Miss Nangong, do you still want to detoxify your toxins?" Mr. Zong feels that his head doesn't work properly.

Nangong Ning replies in a very weak voice, saying, "I have only one step before the complete detoxification of the toxins in my body. Please, … be quick to …"

  Mr. Zong finds that Nangong Ning is a real miracle. He replies without thinking, "OK, Miss Nangong. Please just wait a minute. I'll have someone to look for that 'gra.s.s'right now."

As he is talking with Miss Nangong, he asks someone to help her sit on a chair, and then he turns around and is about to step out. But on a second thought, he returns to Jun Qianye, saying, "My Lord, …"

  Meanwhile, Jun Qianye is looking at Nangong Ning, wondering how the woman manages to survive in such a desperate situation. His sinking eyes are as dark as the night, in which there appears a curious heaving wave.

"My Lord, 'the gra.s.s of the nether world' is not available in any of the medical herb shops in the city. It is a very rare kind of herb. Please help her to …" Says Mr. Zong.

The Crown Prince, Jun Zixuan, who is neglected all the while, suddenly interrupts, "The gra.s.s of the nether world…, oh, yes, there is one in the Imperial Palace. It is available in the royal pharmacy in the Palace."

On hearing this, Nangong Ning's eyes turn to Jun Zixuan.
