Song Jiao stared at Ning Xi, who was laughing so hard that she almost fell to the ground, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
My goodness, this is totally unbearable!
Looking at Ning Xi's expression, she probably forgot all the noble and cool image-building rules that she had taught her before.
Song Jiao was very depressed. It was really difficult to lead a novice tasker. Let’s destroy him!
"So, you saw it from the system again?" Song Jiao asked again.
Ning Xi nodded without even thinking, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
Song Jiao:.........
So everything she said before and what the system said were thrown out of the window by this guy, right?
Ning Xi finally stopped laughing, and then she realized that Song Jiao's expression was not right. She immediately pretended to be innocent and said, "My queen, please don't be angry. I just thought it was too funny and couldn't help it."
Song Jiao could only tell herself in her heart, forget it! It doesn't matter, I always have to endure some hardship, at least I found a new tasker.
After a pause, she continued, "I've known for a long time that they were taught by the General. They were just so-called 'students' who spent a day at the General's mansion. They didn't learn any real skills, just bragging."
Ning Xi's excited expression immediately fell when she heard this. "Ah? Your Majesty, you already know everything! I thought I could bring you some fresh gossip."
Song Jiao smiled lightly, "The things we prepared before can be arranged. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as long as the people believe it."
Ning Xi's eyes lit up when she heard that. She loved the feeling of being in control of the situation from behind the scenes. She immediately said eagerly, "My Lady, just wait and see. I'll show you my skills right away!"
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
The next day, the entire capital was in an uproar. In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and restaurants, everyone was talking about the latest news in General Shen's mansion.
"Have you heard? General Shen's family doesn't know how to fight at all. They were just bragging!"
"I've heard that they dared to challenge General Su's family. Now they don't dare to fight the enemy anymore, right?"
Ning Xi listened to these discussions and smiled smugly.
She walked to a teahouse and said loudly: "Do you know? I have a relative who works in the palace. He said that the people in General Shen's mansion are all paper tigers, good-looking but useless!"
"And the Empress told the Emperor yesterday that she wanted General Su and his family to return to fight the enemy!"
Everyone looked up at Ning Xi, "Is this true?"
"How could this be fake? If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
After another round of heated debate, Ning Xi quietly withdrew from the excited crowd.
She turned lightly, crossed the busy street and walked into a shop.
In a hidden corner of the shop, she quickly changed into a gorgeous palace dress, transforming from an ordinary citizen into a noble maid in the palace.
After everything was ready, she got on the sedan chair waiting outside and quickly returned to the palace.
Within the palace walls, rumors spread as quickly as the wind.
Soon, the rumors from the people spread to every corner of the palace.
When Shen Qingyue heard these rumors, her expression suddenly changed and her anger was evident in her words.
She stood up suddenly and swept the exquisite objects in the palace to the ground one by one. The crisp sound of shattering echoed in the empty hall.
"They even knew everything about what I discussed with the Emperor!" Shen Qingyue roared, her voice echoing throughout the palace, filled with unquestionable majesty and anger. "Investigate this thoroughly for me! I want to know who is spreading these rumors!"
Following Shen Qingyue's order, the palace suddenly became busy, and a thorough investigation into the source of the rumors was quietly launched.
Ning Xi hurried back to the palace with a serious expression on her face. She was about to report the emergency situation on the border to Song Jiao, but was interrupted by Song Jiao's casual words: "No need to say more, I already know everything."
Song Jiao's eyes revealed an extraordinary calmness and depth, as if the troubles in this world could not shake her in the slightest.
At the same time, Qu Ruobai walked through the corridor with a gloomy face. The ministers kept urging him to order the Shen family to go to the border, but he knew the situation of the Shen family father and son very well and did not dare to send them easily.
Feeling restless, he originally planned to go to Shen Qingyue's palace, but when he passed by Fengqi Palace, he heard Shen Qingyue's uncontrolled screams coming from inside.
The voice, full of despair and struggle, made him stop involuntarily.
It seems that matters of war can only be left to professionals.
Qu Ruobai sighed inwardly and turned to walk towards Song Jiao's palace.
At this moment, Song Jiao was sitting quietly in the palace, flipping through a gay comic book in her hand, with a focused and calm expression.
As the eunuch's announcement sounded, she just raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Qu Ruobai who came in hurriedly, then lowered her eyes and continued to flip through the book in her hand.
As soon as Qu Ruobai entered the palace, he saw Song Jiao looking leisurely, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
But as an emperor, he quickly calmed down, a smile on his face, and asked gently, "My beloved, the weather is so nice today, why don't you go out for a walk? Isn't it a bit boring to stay in the palace all day?"
Hearing this, Song Jiao simply raised her head with a mocking smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, the border is in crisis. If you don't go deal with the war on the border, how do you have time to sit here with me?"
Qu Ruobai took a deep breath and explained with a complicated expression, "I had no choice at the time. You know, Yue'er was made empress by me. In a place like the palace, if she didn't have a strong family to back her up, it would have been difficult for her to gain a foothold in the six harems and she would have been looked down upon by the other concubines."
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao curled her lips into a cold smile. She snorted disdainfully, "What does that have to do with me? And how does it relate to the Su family? When the Emperor issued the decree to establish the Empress, did he ever consider the consequences of this?"
"Your Majesty, please don't let the world laugh at you. Now everyone is watching to see whether the Shen family or the Su family will go to war."
Wanting everything? That's a nice thought.
Qu Ruobai's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, "Su Rong, are you threatening me?"
"This world belongs to me. Do I have to depend on others for what I want to do? I can do whatever I want."
Song Jiao stood up and slammed her palm on the table, which immediately broke into two pieces. "Qu Ruobai, do you really think I dare not attack you?"
The next second, the dagger in Song Jiao's hand was already on his neck. "Next time, if you dare to threaten me again, I will make sure you die an ugly death. Get out!"
