From an ordinary beauty contestant to the Imperial Noble Consort, favored above all others in the six palaces.
The world believed the Emperor was deeply in love with Ning Wanyin.
Only N...
At dusk.
Cheng returned to her residence, and Lian Rui quickly stepped forward to report:
"Master, Xiao Qingzi just passed on a message that Princess Qizhu went to show her goodwill to Miss Biao and Consort Ying——"
The last time Concubine Zhuang went to Xianfu Palace, Tang Miaoling, Wei Yingya and she had a lot of fun.
In the eyes of the two sisters, as long as they don't compete with Ning Wanyin for favor and don't target Ning Wanyin's concubines, they can live in peace. If they have been saved by Ning Wanyin, it will be more credible.
So now the two of them are very friendly to Princess Qizhu.
However, Ning Wanyin never trusted anyone, even those she had saved. To her, whether she had saved someone's life or not, they were all unknown and suspicious strangers.
It was her nature to never make friends.
But she naturally would not hinder her cousins from making friends.
However, in Ning Wanyin's eyes, anyone who approaches intentionally, whether with good intentions or bad intentions, needs to be vigilant and guarded against.
"Let Xiao Qingzi keep an eye on it secretly." Ning Wanyin instructed, and then said: "Send a message to Marquis Changping to check Princess Qizhu in detail."
Princess Qizhu is from Northern Desert. Marquis Changping has been defending Northern Desert, so he must have some spies in Northern Desert.
It would be most appropriate for him to check it.
Apart from this, there is nothing special to explain.
Although Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya love to play, they always keep their mouths shut about confidential matters. They value their lives very much and dare not say a word in front of outsiders.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Wei Yingya to hang around the Queen Mother for three years without anyone knowing.
"Yes." Lian Rui took the order and left.
After a while, Xiao Guizi came in quickly to report, "Master! Concubine Fu angered His Majesty and was sent back to the palace overnight!"
Ning Wanyin was slightly surprised, "What happened?"
"There was a rumor leaked by the palace maids serving Concubine Fu that she was seeking an official position for her brother," said Xiao Guizi.
Pengqi was surprised and said, "Frankie Fu doesn't look like someone who would not take the seriousness of the matter so seriously!"
When she first heard that Concubine Fu had intercepted the emperor's favor, she thought that this man would not last long.
But the master said that if Concubine Fu could remain like this, she would be able to enjoy wealth and honor throughout her life.
Holding the chess piece, he understood that this person had a plan. But how could he do such a thing?
"Did Concubine Fu meet her parents today?" Ning Wanyin thought for a moment and asked.
Xiao Guizi nodded repeatedly, "Master, you are really smart! I heard that when Concubine Fu saw her parents, her makeup was all smudged with tears..."
Ning Wanyin had the answer in her heart.
Fu Jiaoyi has been in favor since she entered the palace. She should know what will happen if she mentions such things to the emperor.
…
Time passes quickly like running water.
In a blink of an eye, seven or eight days had passed since the emperor took his concubines and ministers to the autumn hunt.
Ye Zhaoyi looked forward to the news from the Purple Gold Palace every day. Her house arrest had expired, but the most important thing was that Ning Wanyin was still in the palace!
She is so worried!
Ye Zhaoyi sent people to inquire about the news of the Zijin Palace every day.
I am really looking forward to it!
"Master, there is still no news of return today." Huan'er reported.
Ye Zhaoyi sighed worriedly, "When will Ning Wanyin come back?"
At this time, there were only the master and servant, so she didn't have any reservations when speaking.
If Ning Wanyin doesn't come back, her love pulse will disappear!
Come back soon!!!
"News came from the palace that there is a horse riding and archery competition that will take some time." Huan'er was also worried about her master.
Ye Zhaoyi sighed. It looked like Ning Wanyin might not be able to catch up.
No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death!
If she didn't find someone to take the blame for the miscarriage, it would be her own fault. She had to find someone to take the blame.
Since Ning Wanyin is not here, why not find someone else?
The first person Ye Zhaoyi thought of was Su Ruhuan. She was very dissatisfied when Su Ruhuan was listed as a beauty alongside the three daughters of high-ranking officials. Later, His Majesty only gave her the title...
And she was really pregnant.
If I could get her child...
Then I can blame her for killing my child...
Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
She doesn't have much time left. Court Judge Zhao comes to check Ping An's pulse every day. She must get rid of the blame before the pulse disappears.
Ye Zhaoyi thought about this and said, "Let's go to Mingde Palace with a valuable gift."
But she couldn't even enter the Mingde Palace.
The head maid of Mingde Palace stood guard at the door, far away from her, and said politely, "Please forgive me, Ye Zhaoyi. Our queen has caught a cold recently. I won't see you until she gets over the illness."
"I'm here to pay my respects to Consort Yan. I have something I want to say to Consort Yan." Consort Ye said with a smile.
The head maid said, "Since Consort Yen became pregnant, she has not been feeling well and has never seen guests. This is what His Majesty has agreed to. Consort Yen, please go back."
Since His Majesty has agreed, no one can see Su Ruhuan.
Ye Zhaoyi was completely dumbfounded.
She originally thought that since Ning Wanyin was untouchable, she would try Su Ruhuan instead...
In the end, I still couldn't touch it.
Ye Zhaoyi was helpless and could only return to the palace and then look for a candidate.
And after she left.
The maid in charge went into the main hall to report.
Concubine Jing and Su Ruhuan were sitting together drinking tea, and they didn't look sick at all.
Jingpin thought that Ye Zhaoyi was really stupid for daring to walk around while pregnant. But she was stupid, so she didn't dare to let a pregnant woman in.
Although she felt that Ye Zhaoyi's child was a threat to the third prince.
But he would not do it in his own palace, and certainly not at this time.
Ning Wanyin and the others are all in the palace, and the person who took the blame has not returned yet.
Su Ruhuan heard that Ye Zhaoyi was looking for her, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. They were both pregnant, so she would not come here to perish together, which would be a loss.
The best strategy at this time is to take good care of the fetus.
This Ye Zhaoyi is a bit strange, maybe we can use her to our advantage.
…
Purple Gold Palace.
During this autumn hunt, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to organize a horseback riding and archery competition, with all participants being young people.
The most eye-catching person in Dayan this year is the eldest son of Marquis Changping, who is particularly outstanding in riding and shooting.
The day before the game, at midnight.
A figure quietly approached the horse farm and secretly poured some dried weeds into a trough.
These weeds can drive horses crazy.
By the next day, the rider would be thrown off the horse while riding fast and would be seriously injured if not killed.
The figure was about to leave, but the next moment...
An arrow hit him straight in the leg, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Immediately, guards from all directions rushed over and surrounded them.
The leader was Xiao Xiazi.
Ever since Concubine Zhuang had an accident with her horse last time, this seemingly inconspicuous horse farm has become the focus of Ning Wanyin's attention.
Tomorrow is the horse riding and archery competition.
If someone had evil intentions, this horse farm would be the most likely place for them to do something.
Except for the horse farm, of course.
Ning Wanyin arranged people to keep an eye on every place in the palace.
