Ah Shou's heart ached for her. Ever since she was young, she had plotted hard work for her. ”The young lady has not recovered from her long illness, so don't trouble yourself anymore,” he consoled.

Hui Ji was bound to be injured, and the doctor said that the girl's sudden illness had come from there. He finally woke up with great difficulty. He had to recover his body as soon as possible.

Hu Ning revealed a sad smile and said, ”How could I not know? It's just that we don't have much time.”

If time continued to follow the route of his previous life, Xu Anguo would very soon have envoys coming to Grand Dominance. Prince Hu took this opportunity to return to the capital. She would be sent to the palace in place of Hu Rong soon, and it would be too late by then.

”Where should I go to find an opportunity?”

Hu Ning's gaze slipped past the cherry pink invitation on the wooden table by the window and was attracted by the delicate hairpin, Xiao kai — he sincerely invited Miss Hu Ning to a banquet at the Grand Dominance Manor.

This was the first time she had ever met such a straightforward invitation. This girl, Yi Huan, was an excellent person. It might just be a chance that she had to think about …

”Tell me about this lady Yi Huan.”

After the death of Hu Ning's mother, she spent all her savings to go to Teeth, the trained girl. Although they couldn't compare to the Death Soldiers raised by their families, they could still do their normal tasks and gather information.

”Lady Yi Huan's appearance is ninety percent similar to that of the regent's consort, and she has a fiery temperament. Because of the Regent's affinity with him, he was doted upon. She was the lead organizer for this banquet, and none of the ladies in the city objected to it. ”

”The banquet will be held for three days, starting from today's summer solstice. Rumor has it that before the banquet even began, the second young miss pushed the young lady Yi Huan into the water and even involved the princess consort. However, he did not see any madame leave the manor. Nor did the regent declare that the banquet was dissolved. ”Therefore, it should be fine …”

Ah Tu briefly recounted what had happened and asked Hu Ning in a low voice if he would go to the kitchen to get some supplies while there was no one else in the mansion.

Hu Ning smiled bitterly. The concubine born from the Third Rank of the Imperial Court was actually not as pretty as a girl from a small family. They had to wait for the master of the house to stop stealing the tonic.

Hu Ning smiled and said, ”If it's really as you say, then I really envy Miss Yi Huan. It is much better to be so free and happy than I am, the false lady who is confined to the walls of the house. ”

After taking the medicine and making sure that she did not continue to have a fever, Hu Ning asked softly:

”This servant has asked if Lady Yi Huan will go to the stables for the next match. At that time, Little Princess Ah Yue Hun Zi, who is staying at the inn, will also come. If we were to go out for a walk, we might be able to bump into a lady who's a good companion. ”

”Madam has already suggested that the young lady go to the palace to serve the consort. This is her last chance.”

Naturally, Hu Ning understood the meaning of her words. Ah Shun had asked for the route to the banquet in advance and was waiting for her to wake up so that he could approach someone. It didn't matter if it was Yinzi or Yiyi, whoever could get their help would be able to escape the fate of being sent to the palace.

Success or failure depended on it.

Hu Ning was silent for a long time, then he cut open the pillow and took out a small jade plate the size of a finger. The jade token was made of warm white jade. In the center, there was an immortal crane with its wings spread wide, ready to fly away. The crane lifted its head high into the air, mercifully closing its eyes as it looked at the bamboo leaves. A single tear rolled down its face.

”Everything is ready.”
