My Rebellious Vicious Concubine Chapter 20: They Couldn't Be More Perfectly Matched?

Proofread by Men Shunde

Nangong Ning is on alert all the while. Seeing that Jun Qianye is about to stretch his hand, she quickly reacts and rises up, trying to avoid him. But her movement is stopped by a sudden voice of Weichu, which makes her freeze.

However, Jun Qianye doesn't stop stretching his hand. He grasps her slender wrist with unerring accuracy.  

Nangong Ning is astonished and says anxiously: "Regent, an imperial edict arrives!"

Jun Qianye lifts his eyes to look at her with an expression as if to say, "So, what?"

Nangong Ning is stunned. She has never expected Jun Qianye to have such a reaction to the arrival of an imperial edict.

It does not take long for her to understand that an ordinary person as she is would make a fuss about the arrival of an imperial edict, but Jun Qianye would not, for he is somebody, the Regent of the State of Dongli.

Seeing the arrival of an imperial edict may be just as common as receiving a letter to the Regent, the brother of the Emperor.

"Why are you grasping my wrist, Regent?" Nangong Ning asks the most important thing concerning her.

Instead of answering her question, Jun Qinaye lowers his head and looks at her wrist.

Nangong Ning feels uneasy.

Why is he staring at her wrist?

Is it normal for him to do that?

In the ancient society, the people … While she is thinking confusedly, a sudden feeling of great pain in her wrist makes her let out a scream.

Outside the house, Weichu is in a dilemma. The sudden scream from the house makes his face stiffen.

On his side is the messenger Gao Huai, the grand eunuch, who shows a great surprise on his look when he hears the scream.

  He looks at Weichu, asking, "Is the Regent in the room with Miss Nangong?"

Weichu's face sinks, and his eyes turn to Gao Huai, who, scared by Weichu's angry look, says hurriedly, "To tell you the truth, this imperial edict is for the Regent, but it has something to do with Miss Nangong."

Wei Chu's face changes.

Weichu finds something odd about this edict. The Regent is in an extraordinary position, and the Emperor often credits him with some favours. Therefore, eunuchs often come here as messengers with the imperial edicts or some gifts. Gao Huai is the first eunuch of the Emperor and does not often act as a messenger to come here with an ordinary edict.

Gao Huai feels a little bit fear of the Regent. He lowers his eyes and says to Weichu, "Please invite the Regent to come out and receive the edict."

Weichu glances at Gao Huai, and then says loudly to the house, "My Lord!"

Inside the room, Nangong Ning blushes scarlet with a secrete annoyance, which makes her original pure, fresh and pretty little face a little more amorous and charming. It is pleasing to look at her.

But all her beauty does not create any ripples in the eyes of Jun Qianye.

Grasping her wrist firmly, Jun Qianye studies Nangong Ning's hand seriously and sometimes with a force. Her scream just now is cause by the force he exerted suddenly on her wrist.

It's a shame to think about the scream. It's a thought in her heart.

"Regent, there is a needle still in my wrist skin," she says.

"Why?" Jun Qianye looks up at her.

Nangong Ning feels speechless. But on a second thought to save her life, she says, "It is to suppress the toxin. If it drops, I will die of the outbreak of the toxin at once."

Jun Qianye looks at her again. His look is deep and focused, seeming to consider seriously  what she says.

But instantly, Jun Qianye says calmly, "You will not die of the toxin."

Nangong Ning is stunned.

What does he mean?

Just at that moment, comes Weichu's voice again, for he is too anxious to wait outside any longer.

"My Lord."

Nangong Ning takes a look at Jun Qianye, but the latter rises up and says, "Let's go out to receive the imperial edict."

"Me too?" says Nangong Ning in surprise.

Without answering her question, Jun Qianye pulls her by the hand and both of them come out.

Nangong Ning screams out a cry again subconsciously, which she herself will regret.

The scream makes Weichu's face stiffer, and Gao Huai's face changed. When the footsteps are approaching, Gao Huai lifts his eyes to look only to be stunned by what he sees. 

Although Nangong Ning, who has been to the Palace before, is the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, and was engaged with the Crown Prince, Gao Huai, as the first eunuch of the Emperor, would not pay any attention to her when she came to the Palace, for her parents died untimely and no one really cares about or makes plans for her.

Therefore, Gao Huai only knows her name, but has never met her in person.

Now he sees a girl pulled by Jun Qianye by the hand, whose face is extraordinarily beautiful. In fact, she is more than amazingly beautiful.

It is known to all that the Regent is so intelligent as well as handsome that no one in the world can compete with him.

The Regent hasn't got married, and there are several reasons for this, one of which, and it is the most obvious one, is that he hasn't found one who could match him.

Among the single girls in the State of Dongli, the girls who have n.o.ble family backgrounds usually are not beautiful, and those who are beautiful do not have n.o.ble family backgrounds.

But this girl is extraordinarily pure and beautiful, matching Jun Qianye perfectly well, except that she looks a little younger.

Why does Gao Huai have a feeling that both of them look so intelligent and elegant that they couldn't be more perfectly matched? He doesn't know whether it is because he is dazzled or confused by their appearances.

 "Your Highness, Regent! Here is Gao Huai to salute you! I wish you a long life, as long as a thousand years of life!" says Gao Huai kneeling down, who quickly refrains his illusions, for he could feel Jun Qianye's cold eyes on him.

Jun Qianye waves his hands and Gao Huai thanks him, rises up and says: "Regent, His Majesty gives an order this early morning that some good selected herbs from the Imperial Physician's Office be sent to you. The Emperor says you should have good supplements since you have just done your detoxification."

While he is saying, the servants of the Palace carry several large wooden boxes forward and put them down in front of the Regent, which are opened one after another.  

Nangong Ning looks subconsciously at the contents of the boxes, which make her goggle-eyed.
