After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 9 Ning Wengui

With the issue of the third-tier spirit beast with the Phoenix bloodline resolved, the other items on this list are no longer a problem.

After a moment's thought, Lin Zhao decided to go to the Imperial Auction House in the capital of the Youlan Empire and, while he was there, meet a former friend.

Linjia City is adjacent to the capital of the Yulan Empire.

Although the top talents of the four great empires have been gradually absorbed by various sects in recent years, the four great empires still support a group of guest elders with their abundant wealth, so they are still among the first-class forces and should not be underestimated.

Even though the Lin family is a prominent family, their attitude towards the Youlan Empire is primarily one of maintaining good relations.

The Imperial Capital Auction at Youlan is controlled by the Ning family of the royal family.

Just as Lin Zhao arrived at the Crown Prince's residence and hesitated about how to begin, the gates of the residence opened.

Before long, an elderly man with a worried expression walked out, shaking his head. Behind him, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler tried to stop him.

"Master Huo, would you like to take another look? His Highness really..."

Upon seeing the gate open, a crowd of onlookers immediately gathered at the entrance. The butler immediately shut his mouth and bowed to see the old man off.

After seeing the old man off, the steward instructed the gatekeeper to close the gate.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao quickly said, "Uncle, wait!"

When Butler Wang heard the girl call him that, he frowned. He turned around and looked Lin Zhao up and down for a long time. He saw that Lin Zhao had an extraordinary temperament and was dressed in an extraordinary manner. He dared not offend her easily, but he couldn't remember whose daughter she was. He was in a dilemma for a moment.

He had met many prominent young ladies from the capital over the years, but he had never heard of this one.

Lin Zhao said, "I am Lin Zhao of the Lin family, and I have come to have a talk with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Steward Wang recognized her immediately and hurriedly welcomed her inside: "So it's Miss Lin the Third! I was blind and didn't recognize you at first! You've come at the perfect time; His Highness is in his study!"

Lin Zhao grew up alongside the scions of prominent families in the capital.

However, after Yaochi Holy Land entrusted the Holy Son to the Lin family for upbringing, and Shen Yuhan appeared by Lin Zhao's side, Lin Zhao was no longer allowed to play with Youlan's peers.

Steward Wang had known for a long time that the Holy Son of Yaochi had a possessive and obsessive desire for Miss Lin.

In the past, he really wouldn't have dared to invite Lin Zhao in to meet Prince Ning alone, but on the day of the grand wedding at the summit of Cloud Peak, the news that Saint Shen had abandoned Lin Zhao for Chen Luoluo spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

Butler Wang naturally lowered his guard and led Lin Zhao to the study with a smile.

As he walked, he said, "Your Highness would be overjoyed for days if he knew Miss Lin had come."

Lin Zhao noticed that although he was smiling, there was still a hint of worry between his brows, and she had some questions in her mind.

This question was answered after meeting Prince Ning.

Prince Ning Wengui of Youlan inherited his mother's good looks. His silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, shimmering in the sunlight. His pair of crystal-clear purple eyes made his features even more handsome.

In terms of appearance, among the peers Lin Zhao knew, only Su Bai and Shen Yuhan could compare to her.

Unlike Su Bai's androgynous beauty in his youth and Shen Yuhan's wild and unrestrained nature, Ning Wengui was as delicate as a glass doll, and the sickly aura surrounding him added a broken beauty to him.

Seeing her come in, Ning Wengui smiled slightly, but was unable to get up to greet her.

Lin Zhao looked at the wheelchair under Ning Wengui and asked, "What is this?"

Butler Wang sighed deeply: "Three years ago, during the royal hunting expedition, a maddened fifth-tier spirit beast appeared in the royal hunting grounds for some unknown reason. His Highness was seriously injured in both legs while saving the Emperor, and we don't know how to heal him. That's fine, but even though His Highness was injured because of the Emperor, the Emperor has been trying to change the heir apparent recently, citing the reason that the crown prince cannot be crippled."

Upon hearing this, a profound meaning flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes. Lin Family City was located outside the capital of Youlan, and although it was not under the jurisdiction of Youlan, it could be considered an independent country.

However, the Lin family's main branch has always been within the Yulan Empire, and such a major event as the change of imperial power in Yulan naturally has a significant impact on the Lin family.

Butler Wang brought this matter up in front of her, the young mistress of the Lin family, perhaps with the intention of mobilizing the Lin family's support.

Of course, even if Steward Wang didn't say it, Lin Zhao would have informed the Lin family of this news.

After all, Ning Wengui's birth mother, Empress Ye, had a close relationship with the Lin family. In fact, Lin Zhao should call her her cousin.

If the heir to Youlan were replaced by a prince who has no relation to the Lin family, who knows whether this heir would continue to maintain good relations with the Lin family after ascending to the throne.

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know who His Majesty intends to appoint as crown prince?"

"The second prince of Consort Zhao," Steward Wang said, ignoring Ning Wengui's murderous glare.

Just as Lin Zhao was about to look at Ning Wengui's legs, a "Huh?" suddenly came from his mind.

"Grandma, is there something wrong with Prince Ning's legs?"

Grandma Honghu said, "His leg isn't injured, it's poisoned."

"Poisoned?!"

When Lin Zhao revealed this news, both Steward Wang and Ning Wengui were stunned.

"How could it be poisoning?" Ning Wengui looked at his legs, somewhat unable to accept it.

Granny Honghu said in Lin Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness, "It's not quite right to say he was poisoned. It should be that a poisonous gas is stealing his life force from the person who poisoned him. The inability to walk is just the initial symptom. If the poison is not removed soon, this kid will surely die in three years at most, or a few months at least. Tsk tsk, this kid has offended a very vicious person."

Lin Zhao repeated her grandmother's words to Ning Wengui and Steward Wang.

Steward Wang clenched his fists in anger, "It must be Consort Zhao and her gang! They poisoned His Highness when he was seriously injured and unprepared!"

"Girl, ask him, was it a python-type spirit beast that attacked him?"

Lin Zhao asked, "Was that fifth-tier spirit beast a python-type spirit beast back then?"

Ning Wengui touched the pale yellow stamen in the flowerpot in his hand and nodded: "It's a fifth-tier spirit beast, the Netherworld Python."

"Indeed excellent." Grandma laughed within Lin Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Zhao's heart skipped a beat: "Grandma has a way to deal with this poison?"

"Of course. But why does Grandma want to deal with this poison? Is this boy your old flame?"

Lin Zhao was both amused and exasperated. "Please don't joke with me. The Lin family is now in decline. If the position of Crown Prince of Youlan is taken by someone else, it will be a double threat to the Lin family."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why this kid was your old flame. But you're really lucky, little girl. Every man you meet is outstanding. Su Bai is a top genius, that's fine. This Prince Ning's aptitude is also quite interesting. Purple eyes and a crystal body, I thought it only existed in legends. With this physique, dual cultivation is absolutely amazing, hahaha."

Lin Zhao's eyelids twitched as she listened. She hadn't expected her usually stern grandmother to be so irresponsible about these things. She quickly said, "Grandma, if you can save him, please do so."

"Who said I could save him?" Grandma said, "Grandma is just a remnant soul now, without a physical body, so I can't save him. Only you can save this boy now."

"I?"
