Chapter 354: The Evil Ghost
Concubine Gao was stunned when she heard this, then she said softly, "Your Majesty, why are you asking me this? I, a mere woman, cannot compare to your wisdom and intelligence. Whatever your Majesty wants to do, I will definitely support you!"
A flash of disappointment appeared in the emperor's eyes when he heard this. He thought that Concubine Gao had some clever plan. After all, she had two princes by her side. Unfortunately, a vase was just a vase and was of no use at all!
Seeing that Concubine Gao was useless, the Emperor didn't want to say anything more. His tone changed to the usual tone of a foolish and doting concubine, saying, "Ning Dugong handles state affairs for me, working hard day and night. I believe he is also unaware of his wife's affairs. In this way, I will issue an order to reprimand her, just to vent my anger on behalf of my beloved concubine!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Gao's face almost deformed with anger. What kind of venting was there in a scolding that didn't hurt her? Wasn't it just that she was beaten by that bitch in vain? She was beaten as the Imperial Concubine, and the Emperor was still so cowardly. It was really infuriating to watch!
However, she also knew that it would be difficult to get the emperor to muster up his strength to deal with Ning Cuo, so she said, "Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties. Duke Ning is too powerful for us to take action. However, I discovered today that Ning Cuo actually has a big weakness!"
The Emperor was about to send her away when his eyes flickered and he asked, "My beloved concubine said you discovered Ning Cuo's weakness?"
Concubine Gao smiled obscurely and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but our cold-blooded and murderous Governor Ning is actually a romantic!"
The emperor's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "My beloved concubine, what do you mean by this...?"
Concubine Gao hid the viciousness in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know yet, but now the whole capital has spread. Duke Ning dotes on his wife like her lifeblood, putting her first in everything he does. His reputation as a henpecked man has spread!"
The Emperor was surprised. "Are you serious, my beloved concubine? Aren't those just rumors?"
Concubine Gao said, "I know what the emperor means. After all, that person is Ning Cuo. The emperor and I know exactly what kind of person he is. He is a Rakshasa, an evil ghost, a murderous and bloodthirsty demon. Remember the tragedy on Suzaku Street that year? He slaughtered everyone..."
The emperor suddenly said angrily, "Shut up."
Concubine Gao also knew that she had said something wrong, and she quickly knelt down to admit her mistake, saying, "It was a slip of the tongue from your concubine, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
A sinister look flashed across the emperor's face, and he finally said in a cold voice, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
Concubine Gao immediately said, "The reason I'm certain this isn't a rumor is because after I summoned Xiao into the palace today, Ning Cuo hurried over shortly after. Although I was injured at the time, I saw his expression clearly. If that look wasn't true love, I'd rip my head off."
The emperor's expression changed rapidly when he heard this. He did not doubt Concubine Gao's words because she came from a romantic background and probably understood men better than anyone else.
Ning Cuo actually found such a weakness for himself, this is really a great thing!
If done well, perhaps this evil ghost could be eliminated in one fell swoop.
Seeing the excitement on the emperor's face, Concubine Gao immediately knew that he was moved, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to help you with this matter. Just find an excuse to keep Ning Cuo away for half a day, and I will seize the opportunity to capture Xiao. Then you will have the means to check and balance Ning Cuo, and you won't have to hide in this deep palace anymore, suffering!"
The emperor was very tempted, but he was more thoughtful than Concubine Gao. "Your plan is too hasty. It is not enough to just transfer Ning Cuo. His subordinates are not vegetarians either. So, I will send people to pretend to be rebels to attack the imperial city, and let him lead people to quell the rebellion.
If you come to me again in the name of the Imperial Concubine, I will give you someone to disguise as a maid. When you two meet, I will capture you and take you into hiding as quickly as possible. Then, I will wait for your news and act accordingly."
"Snap, snap, snap."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, applause came from the entrance of the hall.
Then, Ning Cuo's strange, ethereal, and drawn-out laugh was heard, "Your Majesty has a good plan, and your Majesty has thought it through thoroughly!"
