Chapter 181 Subversion of cognition
Jinglinju

Tang Ning choked on water at the bottom of the lake yesterday. After being rescued by King Ning, he grabbed King Ning's lapel and shouted "Help me" a few times at the top of his lungs before passing out.Been sleeping until now and just woke up.

"Princess, are you awake?" Nanny Li asked softly when she saw Tangning's eyes move.

Tangning slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were very distracted, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Where am I?"

"Princess, this is Jinglin Residence, the prince's bedroom."

Tangning closed her eyes in frustration and let out a long sigh. She put her hand on her forehead and remained silent.

Seeing this, Nanny Li asked softly, "Where is the princess feeling uncomfortable?"

After another silence, Tangning asked, "Why am I here?"

Nanny Li replied truthfully, "Princess, yesterday you accidentally fell into the lake and choked on the water, and fell into a coma. The prince put you here."

Tangning opened her eyes and looked at Nanny Li, confirming that she didn't know what happened at the bottom of the lake yesterday.Tangning asked, "Then why didn't the prince send me back to Yixiangju?"

"I don't know the princess. There have been snakes in your bedroom recently..."

"Snake?!" Tangning was shocked. Her whole body tensed up and she subconsciously hugged herself tightly. She was very afraid of snakes.

Nanny Li helped Tangning up, stroked her back, and said softly, "Princess, don't be afraid, the prince is here. Didn't you wonder why you were in the east wing when you fell asleep, but you were in the west wing when you woke up? That night, my lord heard movement in your room, so he went in to take a look, and saw a snake lying on your quilt, he executed the snake and transferred you to the west chamber."

Tangning suddenly realized that it wasn't her sleepwalking that climbed onto Uncle Ning's bed, and a big rock hanging in her heart finally fell.

Nanny Li asked: "Princess, are you hungry? You haven't had a drop of water since lunch yesterday."

Tangning stretched her legs out of the bed, then retracted them suddenly, curled up on the bed and hugged her legs tightly, "Where is the prince? What if there are people here?"

Seeing Tangning's lingering fear, Li Momo held her hand and comforted her, "Princess, don't worry, this is Jinglin Residence, there is nothing like that."

Tangning's eyes unconsciously scanned every corner of the room, and asked, "It's also Prince Ning's Mansion, why is there one in my yard but not here?"

"In this palace, your yard itself is a bit out of the way, and it has never been inhabited, so it is inevitable that there are some weird things hidden; besides, you are drumming herbs in Yixiangju every day, maybe those herbs have attracted you. Those natural objects of flowers, birds, fish and insects are here. Don’t be afraid, princess, the person who can be followed by these natural objects must be a spiritual person in this world, you should be happy.”

Tangning shivered and expressed her disapproval.

"Where's your lord?" Tangning asked.

"Your Highness is in the study."

Tangning took the clothes from Nanny Li's hands and put them on, saying, "Call the prince over, I didn't give him an injection yesterday, so I'll put it on as soon as it's still early, so that today's treatment won't be delayed."

Nanny Li helped Tangning tidy up her clothes, "Princess, you haven't eaten for three meals, why don't you eat something first, maybe a bowl of porridge."

Tangning was straightforward, her tone unquestionable, "I can wait, but he can't!"

"The old slave will invite you now."

As soon as Nanny Li came out of Jinglinju courtyard, she saw King Ning, who was walking this way.

Nanny Li walked up to pay her respects in small steps, and conveyed Tangning's intentions.

King Ning asked: "Has the princess eaten breakfast?"

Nanny Li shook her head, "Princess Wang said that she will give you an injection first, and then eat."

King Ning ordered, "Go prepare some warm porridge and bring it here."

Nanny Li took the order to retreat.

When King Ning came to the bedroom, Tang Ning was about to go out and bumped into King Ning head-on. Tang Ning looked up at his face and said, "Why is your face so bad again?"

King Ning said lightly: "This king can't see it."

Tangning rolled her eyes and walked away.

King Ning turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tangning didn't turn her head back, she just said, "Go back to Yixiangju and get my medicine box."

As soon as the words were finished, Tangning returned to King Ning, who was pulled back by King Ning with a snake bone whip.

Tangning's face was full of shock, she raised her hand and pointed to her waist, "Hurry up and get this evil thing away from me!"

King Ning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were a bit playful, "A person who can lure snakes out of their holes, would be so afraid of snakes?"

Tangning swallowed hard, "You, you, what do you mean?"

King Ning took the snake bone whip and said seriously, "Didn't you realize that you are attracted to snakes? Even my snake bone whip is no exception!" King Ning waved the snake bone whip in front of Tang Ning as he spoke. Tangning was so scared that she jumped two steps away.

Tangning crossed her hands and shielded her chest. She looked very defensive and asked, "You mean, that evil thing in your hand is interested in me?"

King Ning nodded.

Tangning frowned, feeling incredible, "It's all a pile of bones, how could it be conscious!"

King Ning stroked the snake bone whip and said: "This snake bone is not an ordinary thing, but Xialiang's national treasure - the iris snake. This snake has survived for hundreds of years. The flesh was flayed and made into a weapon. This snake bone is bloodthirsty, remember?"

Tangning frowned tightly, and glanced at the snake bone whip in King Ning's hand out of the corner of her eye. She thought that she fainted twice after being sucked blood by the snake bone whip, and she would never forget it in her life!
As King Ning said, he walked towards Tangning. Tangning pointed at King Ning, "Stop! Just stand there and say it, don't come near me!" Tangning took two steps back.

King Ning put the snake bone whip aside and walked in the courtyard. Tangning quickly took a look at the snake bone whip that King Ning had left behind, and trotted two steps to keep up with King Ning.

King Ning walked in front, and said: "At the beginning, a high-ranking monk once warned me not to keep that evil snake bone by my side, saying that one day I would be eaten back by it. I never believed it. This snake bone has gone through countless battles with this king, and has never sucked a drop of blood. However, your appearance has subverted this king's cognition."

Tangning asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

King Ning stopped and turned to look at Tangning, "Tell me the truth first, what did you see at the bottom of the lake yesterday?"

Tangning's pupils shrank slightly, her heart skipped a beat, she lost her mind, and murmured, "I see myself."

Ning Wang narrowed his phoenix eyes, looked into Tangning's eyes, and said, "That's Ah Jiu. The real Ah Jiu. It's not you."

Tangning's beautiful eyes were slightly open, and she could feel the coldness and inquiry in Prince Ning's amber eyes.

Tangning suddenly felt a big stone on her heart, "Zhao Xuan, you doubt me?! It's been so long, I thought you already trusted me."

Tangning circled around, smiled mockingly, and sighed, "No wonder Wei Young and Wu Bing don't treat me as their own, and even you doubt me all the time, ha...how ridiculous! Sad..."

Tangning turned to leave, turned her back to King Ning, and said loudly, "Let Wu Bing make up for the treatment that was missed yesterday. It will be over before [-]:[-]."
