The full moon ceremony ended in peace.
Lingxue Pavilion.
"Master, fortunately you have made careful plans and arrangements, so nothing went wrong." Lian Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Empress Dowager Xue temporarily treated Wei Yingya as her own...
But she was much more cautious than Xue Jinyan in setting up the plan.
Lu Zhaoyi was arranged to handle this matter without letting any third person know.
Wei Yingya didn't know who was going to take action, nor did she know what the plan was.
But even though Ning Wanyin knew nothing, she knew that Empress Dowager Xue would definitely take action.
Between attack and defense, it all depends on who has better skills.
The enemy is strong and we are weak.
It is naturally difficult for the weak to defeat the strong.
However, if people want to live and want to live a beautiful life, they can only overcome every difficulty.
"Everything is safe this time, but Queen Mother Xue will not let it go. Everyone should be cautious." Ning Wanyin did not take it lightly.
Lian Rui nodded, "I understand. Peng Qi and the others are also alert."
As they were talking, a chess player came in and reported:
"Master, Pengqin said everything went well."
Ning Wanyin's eyes flickered slightly, "Let the people outside the palace keep a close eye on him and see who Prince Yihe meets and how he deals with the Shi family."
Her plan was to use Prince Yihe to get rid of some troubles.
Second, she wanted to test Prince Yihe's trump card.
The officials in the court, apart from the Xue and Cen families, are the emperor's men...
How difficult is it for Prince Yihe to hide a force right under the noses of the three parties...
It's almost impossible.
The possibility of him passing the throne to him is even smaller than that of the emperor choking to death while drinking water tomorrow.
Ning Wanyin was really confused about what Prince Yihe's trump card was.
As long as he makes a move, clues will naturally be left behind.
…
In Jingxi Palace.
The air was filled with the smell of medicine.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing happening in Tinglan Palace today." Zhenzhu stepped forward to report.
Concubine Shu was lying on the sickbed. She had been recovering from her illness since that day when she knelt in the snow. In fact, her cold was not serious, and she got better after drinking two bowls of medicine.
He was just pretending to be sick.
A concubine who has just taken charge...
It is the easiest to go wrong.
What's more, Empress Dowager Xue was looking for an opportunity to send Ning Wanyin to the Criminal Court.
Of course she had to distance herself from it.
"She is really troublesome..." A trace of disappointment flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes.
Wasn’t Queen Mother Xue very efficient when dealing with me?
How to deal with Ning Wanyin? It’s so difficult.
"It seems I need to help her. Zhenzhu, please ask Concubine Cen to come over. There is something I need her help with." Concubine Shu curled her thin lips in a sneer.
Her father is dead, but she still has some manpower to use.
However, her father gritted his teeth and took it all on his own, not telling anyone that he had made money and given it to someone else...
Aren't the subordinates working so hard just for the Cen family to clean up the mess and take care of their families?
Therefore, even though her father passed away, Cen Zhaoyi treated Shufei with special affection.
Cen Zhaoyi always had to do these little things for her.
…
The end of the year is the busiest time for the Imperial Household Department.
From buying New Year's goods, preparing for the annual ceremonies of each palace to sweeping the house and offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God...
Lian Rui and the others were extremely careful to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Master, something happened to the lady!" Lian Rui hurried over.
Ning Wanyin unconsciously clenched the account book in her hand. Although she was usually calm, her voice was filled with an urgency that was difficult to conceal:
"What happened to my mother?"
"Madam's arm was stabbed." Lian Rui picked out the most important result first and said:
"Don't worry, Doctor Ge has checked it out. It's just a flesh wound, not a bone wound. It will heal with careful rest for a few months."
Ning Wanyin's eyes were extremely cold. "Who did it? What happened?"
Lian Rui reported: "This morning, your grandfather fell down and fainted on the spot. He didn't wake up for a while. The Cheng family passed the news to the Bo Mansion. When the lady heard it, she was anxious and left the city gate early. As a result, on the way to Zao County, she encountered two groups of ambushing bandits..."
Cheng's parents' home was in a county town near the capital. If she wanted to go back to her parents' home, she had to leave the city.
"Fortunately, you made arrangements early on. The people who were watching outside our house, as soon as they saw the carriage from the Bo's Mansion leave, immediately notified the escort agency to escort it secretly..."
Ning Wanyin arranged someone to follow her at the door of her house.
First, to guard against people who intentionally approached the Bo's Mansion. Second, if something happened in the Bo's Mansion, the news could be spread immediately.
Ning Wanyin reminded Cheng not to leave the capital.
But as a cautious person, she naturally had a backup plan just in case.
The Ning family had many shops. Ning Wanyin never interfered with the family business, but for safety reasons, she asked her mother to send someone to buy a security company and invested a lot of money.
The guards in the escort agency are responsible for escorting people every day and they are all very skilled.
"We encountered the first group of bandits on the way to Zao County. Fortunately, the escort agency's guards were disguised as escorts and followed them not too far behind. When they saw what happened, they immediately rushed over and rescued the lady."
"After this accident, the palace soldiers and the escort agency guards quickly escorted Madam back to the capital. On the way back, they encountered a group of bandits. In the melee, Madam was injured by a knife."
There were so many bandits that if it weren’t for the master’s backup plan, the lady would probably not have been able to come back.
Ning Wanyin suppressed her chaotic thoughts, her dark eyes were so quiet that it made people's heart palpitate:
"Bongqi, please go back to the mansion and check if my mother is okay. Send a large sum of money to Doctor Ge. I'll be thanking him for everything."
"yes."
"Let's check carefully to see if the bandits left anything behind. What moves they used, what accents they used..."
Ning Wanyin explained everything one by one.
Keep the chess piece in mind.
"Send someone unfamiliar to Zao County to see how my grandfather is doing and how he fell. Ask him in detail..."
"Yes." He accepted the order while holding the chess piece.
He received a name as a purchasing agent and hurried out of the palace.
Ning Wanyin arranged everything in an orderly manner.
But even though she had arranged everything, she still felt very uncomfortable.
Ning Wanyin sat in front of the window for a long time, from afternoon to dark...
No one knew what she was thinking.
"Master, the emperor is here!" Xiao Guizi hurried in to report.
