Chapter 596 Shield 6

The system is crying, "I'm begging you, can we please not punish me?!"

Ning Yan: "Shut up, or I'll kill you."

The system behaved itself.

She gripped the system and studied it carefully.

This guy has a system shop that's full of things that make women more beautiful and related to childbirth.

From the moment she saw Liu Cai Ren, she knew that her appearance was achieved through technology, and the pills here proved this point.

Unfortunately, this system is nothing more than a tool to plunder the world's fortune under the guise of helping the chosen one have children. This entire country will belong to the little nephew in the future, and not a single bit of fortune can be taken away from it.

So, once Ning Yan figured it out, she crushed the childbirth system.

The system had only one thought before it died: I'll shut up!

...

Inside Liuyun Palace, Liu Cairen felt somewhat uneasy after the system left. She thought it was because of Ning Meiren's arrival that she felt this way.

Because Ning Meiren was putting too much pressure on her, she felt that she had to bring Ning Meiren down if she wanted to complete her mission.

But how could she possibly trample someone whose luck was so powerful that even the system was astonished?

...

After Ning Yan left Liuyun Palace, Consort Mu went to the Empress's palace to complain. Then, the Empress sent someone to invite Ning Yan over for questioning.

Gu Yu's first reaction was to report to the Emperor, but Ning Yan stopped her, saying, "Why would I need to see the Emperor? The Empress is so kind, generous, fair, and just; she certainly won't make things difficult for me."

Gu Yu: My lord, are you sure you're talking to the Empress?

As the emperor's secret guard, she knew a little more than that. The empress was a snake, a venomous snake, and extremely venomous!

However, Ning Meiren is her master now, and she should obey her master's orders.

Even if the Empress really wanted Consort Ning dead, she had the ability to protect her.

At worst, we can just carry the person and fly to find the emperor.

Once Gu Yuxin made up her mind, she followed Ning Yan and swaggered off to Kunning Palace.

Good heavens, there are even more people in the Queen's palace now than when we went to pay our respects this morning!

Ning Yan entered the hall without looking to the side and performed a proper curtsy, saying, "Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress, may Your Majesty be well."

The Empress showed no outward sign of schadenfreude, but her face was full of gloating. She was just about to teach this arrogant little vile woman a lesson when she herself handed her the handle.

She didn't call out to him, but instead asked him a question directly.

"Consort Ning, I ask you, Consort Mu said that you were disrespectful and hit her. Is that true?"

Is Ning Yan the kind of person who obediently lets others torment her?

Of course not. You can't expect me to get up on my own without you telling me. You think I'll kneel down to answer you? You're dreaming.

She stood up, looked at the Empress, and spoke loudly enough for every concubine in the hall to hear: "There is indeed insubordination, but it is not me, but Consort Mu!"

The Empress's face darkened, and her fingers clenched involuntarily. Consort Ning, you are truly audacious!

Consort Mu, her face swollen and red, suddenly stood up and said, "You vile woman, how dare you spout such nonsense? You're just a minor beauty. Even if I scold you, you have to listen to me. How dare you accuse me of insubordination?"

Ning Yan turned around, walked over, and slapped the other woman again. "As a palace concubine, you keep calling people 'bitch,' you really deserve a beating!"

"Ah~" Mu Pin never expected that this bitch would dare to hit her in front of so many people.

The mouths of all the concubines in the hall gaped open. The concubines could quarrel among themselves, but who would personally take action? They had previously suspected that what Consort Mu said was false and that she was deliberately framing Consort Ning, but now it seemed that it was all true!

After all, the facts are right in front of us.

"Your Majesty, you saw it! Consort Ning dared to hit me right in front of you! You must stand up for me!"

"How dare you, Consort Ning! You dare to hit someone in front of me! Kneel down before me!"

Ning Yan glanced casually at her reddened palm, her face full of arrogance: "I have done nothing wrong, why should I kneel?"

Consort Mu, relying on her high rank, bullied me without restraint. I was just listening obediently, but she, a mere consort, dared to scold Consort Xue for being ill-mannered in front of me. She dared to speak ill of a high-ranking consort; she deserved to be beaten.

Now she's even coming to the Empress's palace to complain, which is bad enough.

After all, I did hit her, so I'll just apologize to her.

But she kept calling me a "bitch" and daring to insult me, so don't blame me for slapping her!

She hit someone and still acted as if she was completely innocent, which almost made the Empress suffer internal injuries. She had been married to the Emperor for 7 years and had been pretending for 7 years, but this damned Consort Ning always managed to break her composure so easily that she couldn't even maintain her outward gentleness!

Today's incident was Ning Meiren's fault, and Mu Pin is her person. If she can't stand up for Mu Pin, who will work for her in the future?

Consort Xian originally had a lot of opinions about Ning Yan. After all, as soon as she entered the palace, she stole all of her cousin's attention, making him unwilling to even look at their child. She especially wanted to slap Ning Yan to death.

However, the Empress was still her greatest enemy. If it weren't for her, she would be the Crown Princess, and the one sitting on the high throne now would be the Empress. Naturally, she was happy to watch the show when Consort Ning could make the Empress suffer.

“Consort Ning is right, it was indeed wrong of her to hit Consort Mu, but wasn’t Consort Mu also at fault first?”

A fourth-rank concubine said that the third-rank Consort Xue's family was ill-mannered, so who else should be beaten if not her?

Consort Mu: "...Can't people even criticize someone for poor upbringing?"

Ning Yan glanced at her: "...So you can't just talk nonsense and expect people to hit you!"

The Empress was furious. She slammed her hand on the armrest of her chair and shouted, "How dare you! Guards! Consort Ning has disrespected the higher-ranking concubines and uttered wild words. Take her out and slap her thirty times!"

Ning Yan: "Your Majesty, it was clearly Consort Mu who disrespected her superiors and used foul language first. If anyone should be punished, it should be Consort Mu first, otherwise I will not accept it!"

Empress: Am I the Empress or are you the Empress? If you're not happy, then keep it to yourself!

But you can't say it like that. "Consort Mu, Consort Ning said you are disrespectful to your superiors. Do you agree?"

Consort Mu would certainly not admit it, since admitting it might mean being slapped in the face.

Ning Yan looked at Consort Mu, "Consort Mu reprimanded me in the courtyard of Liuyun Palace. I had eight palace servants with me, and Consort Mu had more than a dozen people with her. There was also a maid from Consort Liu who saw me off. But many people heard what the two of us said."

Consort Mu: Damn bitch, isn't this threatening me?

"So what?"

"So, does Consort Mu admit to disrespecting her superior?"

Consort Mu opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Ning Yan looked at the Empress on the high throne, "Your Majesty saw it. Consort Mu was disrespectful to Your Majesty first. Your Majesty should punish her!"

Consort Mu: "Your Majesty, I did not mean it!"

"Is an unintentional mistake not a mistake? If I stab you tomorrow and say it was unintentional, then I won't have to pay with my life, right?"
