Lingxue Pavilion, flower hall.

As soon as Tang Miaoling and Wei Yingya heard that Ning Wanyin was released, they rushed to congratulate her.

Lian Rui smiled and presented two gift boxes to the two of them.

Tang Miaoling was very happy. What good things her cousin gave her was secondary. The most important thing was that her cousin was obviously very satisfied with her.

She was useful too!

"Cousin, you are too polite. I didn't do anything." Tang Miaoling tried hard to suppress the pride on her face, her mouth was grinning so hard that she couldn't close it.

"Thank you both for your righteous words this time! I've prepared a small gift to show my appreciation." Ning Wanyin smiled at the two of them, and then changed the subject:

"But if there is a next time, I hope you two won't get involved. His Majesty has banished Zhang Zhaoyi and the other three to the cold palace. If I fail to clear my name this time, you will end up like this."

Tang Miaoling was startled, and immediately expressed her opinion, "I don't care! I share the joys and sorrows with my cousin!"

"Me too." Wei Yingya followed closely. She was very clear about the importance of standing in line after being sent to the cold palace once!

"Wanyin is deeply touched by your kindness to me. However, Concubine Zhuang came forward to testify on my behalf. If it is useful, she will be enough. If it is useless, you will only be implicated if you come forward. It is better to wait and see and protect yourself." Ning Wanyin explained in detail.

In the emperor's eyes, they are in cahoots with Ning Wanyin.

Can't be a witness at all.

Whether you show up or not, it won’t change the outcome.

"I'm not afraid of being implicated..." Tang Miaoling was still stubborn and wanted to live in the cold palace with Ning Wanyin.

Wei Yingya suddenly realized, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Lady Tang, if something happens to us, who will help Concubine Ning to overturn the case?"

This kind of plot.

She is familiar with it.

Before the protagonist's relatives die, they will specifically remind the protagonist not to be impulsive and to live well.

Tang Miaoling looked at her in shock, "No way, no way. You don't think that after your cousin got into trouble, we two can overturn her case, right?"

The thirty thousand plots that Wei Yingya had just imagined in her mind came to an abrupt end.

Oh my goodness, this...

Can you still be the protagonist? Why do you say such disappointing truths?

"However, if something really happens to you, cousin, we are outside and can run errands for you! It is indeed more useful than living in the cold palace." Tang Miaoling thought about it and figured it out. She looked at Ning Wanyin and nodded.

"Cousin, I'll do whatever you say!"

Ning Wanyin did not expect them to save her.

But there is really no need to give away two for free.

Tang Miaoling is in the same group with her now.

As for Wei Yingya...

They are currently considered allies.

When faced with risks, we naturally have to do our best to protect our people.

If she really needs help in the future, Ning Wanyin will not be pretentious and will make the best use of her.

After saying this.

Tang Miaoling felt sorry for Ning Wanyin and said indignantly, "I heard that the emperor only demoted Song. Why did he send everyone else to the cold palace? The emperor is really partial to her!"

"Maybe it's because the Song family is highly valued by the emperor..." Wei Yingya learned a lesson from her mistakes. Now when looking at things in the harem, she always thinks about the situation of the previous dynasty first.

After saying that, he looked at Ning Wanyin with some worry, "Jieyu, don't worry, there is still a long way to go..."

One comforted her, the other felt unfair for her. Ning Wanyin had always been a loner and was not quite used to this kind of friendship among peers.

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, still looking demure and gentle:

"I'm fine. I'm already very satisfied with the result now."

The two beauties sat for a while and then went back happily with the thank-you gifts.

Ning Wanyin also sent people to deliver a thank-you gift to Linlang Palace and Changchun Palace respectively.

Soon, the news that Song falsely accused Ning Wanyin of being demoted spread throughout the palaces.

Concubine Shu was so angry that she threw the gavel that was used to hit the wooden fish:

"What a useless thing! Ning Wanyin was able to turn the tables with this, and she actually admitted to lying to the emperor! What an idiot!"

Zhenzhu hurriedly picked up the valuable gavel and presented it to Concubine Shu, saying in amazement:

"Your Majesty, the incense burned out twice. God, how dare Concubine Song lie?"

"There must be something wrong with this incense..." A cold light flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes.

But Ning Wanyin has been placed under house arrest, so who can do anything to Xiang?

Could it be the emperor?

Who could have thought that the emperor would actually cheat her...

It's normal that Song Qingzhi couldn't think of this.

"Ning Wanyin is really a tough opponent." Concubine Shu felt that she was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

It's not just because of the strategy, but also because she was able to get the emperor to cooperate with her plan.

The emperor has always been cold-hearted, but he has a preference for Ning Wanyin.

It's not just superficial favor, it's genuine care.

Maybe not much.

But this is a very bad thing for other concubines.

She must get rid of Ning Wanyin as soon as possible.

In order to get rid of Ning Wanyin, it is necessary to first alienate the relationship between her and the emperor.

The look in Concubine Shu's eyes changed again and again, and she returned to her usual grace. She reached out and picked up the gavel, and continued to strike the wooden fish calmly:

"Selectwoman Song was demoted, and the palace maids around her have all dispersed, so our people are left behind."

From a very early stage, Concubine Shu had placed her own people among the two beauties that the Emperor treated specially.

"Yes." Pearl obeyed.

"Let him persuade Concubine Song..." Concubine Shu gave detailed instructions.

After the arrangement.

Concubine Shu asked, "Is Concubine Zhuang still having a quarrel with His Majesty?"

"Yes. His Majesty rewarded her with a lot of gold and jade as a consolation, but she didn't go to Ganxin Palace to express her gratitude." Zhenzhu said.

Concubine Shu smiled, "Remind her that Ning Wanyin and His Majesty are inseparable. If she continues to make trouble, His Majesty's heart will be completely seduced by Ning Wanyin..."

This is a very straightforward attempt to sow discord.

But it works very well as long as it involves the emperor.

Concubine Shu has always known how to use Concubine Zhuang as a weapon. Over the years, she had kept Concubine Zhuang in the palace, who seemed to be able to compete with her.

The emperor likes balance, so of course she needs an "opponent".

…

On the second day after Ning Wanyin was released from confinement, she went to Changchun Palace to visit Shunpin as usual.

When passing through the Imperial Garden, he was blocked by Concubine Zhuang.

"I pay my respects to Concubine Zhuang!" Ning Wanyin stepped down from the sedan chair and bowed:

"I am very grateful to Concubine Zhuang for testifying for me."

Concubine Zhuang looked haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, and she said angrily with her neck stiff, "Your Majesty didn't believe me, and I couldn't help you. It was God who helped you to clear your name."

Everyone knows that the Song family couldn't light incense.

Many people believed that the Song family deliberately disrupted the sacrificial ceremony for the gods and lied when burning incense, which displeased the gods and led to this result.

"But this does not affect the gratitude in my heart." Ning Wanyin said sincerely.

Concubine Zhuang glared at her angrily, "Why aren't you angry? His Majesty didn't believe you, why aren't you angry?"

She couldn't understand when she heard that Ning Wanyin was in love with the emperor!

He didn't believe you, you are innocent!
