Chapter 164: Shields, each with their own agenda



Helian Qi's face was as gloomy as water.

It is indeed impossible to conclude from a spell that it was Concubine Jing who did it. It is possible that someone framed her.

But today is such a coincidence. If the eternal lamp praying for the country's fortune is extinguished, how will the world speculate and criticize Xier?

The remaining three princes all benefited.

This spell might be a frame-up by someone, but it could also be a deliberate attempt by her to confuse the enemy.

Helian Qi had a hint of suspicion in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said calmly, "Stand up. I believe you won't do such a thing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jingpin was grateful. But she was very angry in her heart. She knew that with the emperor's character, he must be suspicious of her.

The one who took action...

It's really hateful.

Xiao Yunyao was not surprised by this result, because that piece of spell was not sufficient evidence.

but……

Who says that frame-up requires irrefutable evidence?

Many times, doubt is enough.

She deliberately led the discussion to Concubine Jing, just to remind everyone that Concubine Jing was the one who benefited, as were Concubine Kang and Concubine Rou.

Among all the suspects, I am not ranked.

It is enough not to be the first one suspected by the emperor.

Although the plan did not go smoothly, it did provide a shield. Whenever something happened to the Fourth Prince in the future, the Emperor would think of Concubine Jing, and Xiao Yunyao was in a good mood.

Helian Qi looked at Ning Wanyin, his expression softened a little:

"The Concubine Chen is strict in her management and has a good way of governing the department. I am very pleased and will reward her handsomely."

"Everyone in the Shrine Office has fulfilled their duties conscientiously, and they will all be rewarded."

Ning Wanyin bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Everyone in the Jingu Division smiled happily and knelt down to express their gratitude, "Thank you for your grace!"

When Xiao Yunyao saw this scene, her face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

She and Ning Wanyin both manage the six palaces. She made a mistake a few days ago, but Ning Wanyin was rewarded by the emperor today...

She seemed particularly bad.

Xiao Yunyao was so angry that her teeth itched, but she could only smile and say:

"Your Highness is familiar with the affairs of the six palaces. I am new here, so I would like to ask for your guidance!"

It seems that he is humble and eager to learn, but in fact the key point is the four words "newcomer".

It is understandable that she is not familiar with the palace because she just entered it.

Ning Wanyin has been in charge for a long time, so it is reasonable for her to do better than her.

"Zhaoyi Hui is diligent and studious, so I will naturally be happy to give her advice." Ning Wanyin responded calmly.

Xiao Yunyao's heart choked. You really are not modest at all?

"The most important thing in everything is to be attentive. If Hui Zhaoyi has time, she can go to the twelve departments every day to check the purchase and money accounts and prepare proposals. In less than half a month, she will be able to know everything about each department."

Ning Wanyin spoke each word calmly and lightly, but Xiao Yunyao's smile instantly froze.

You can become familiar with the job if you work hard for half a month.

The assistant manager of the Sixth Palace has been talking about the newcomers for nearly a month. Is he too stupid or just not paying enough attention?

Helian Qi glanced at Xiao Yunyao, feeling a little disappointed.

Xiao Yunyao was indeed not very dedicated to the affairs of the six palaces, which was a waste of his high hopes.

Xiao Yunyao was so angry that she wanted to stab Ning Wanyin's villains ten times. She made up an excuse and said, "I have been preparing for the birthday banquet of the eldest princess..."

What I mean is, I'm busy so I have no time to relax.

"But something went wrong at the birthday party." Fu Jiaoyi added.

Xiao Yunyao's face turned pale with anger. She was so angry!

Come out from the Fairy Palace.

Concubine Jing returned to Mingde Palace with a gloomy expression, suppressing her anger:

"Kangpin and Roupin are like a silent gourd, they are really like the barking dog that bites people."

"Master, do you think one of them did it?" asked the maid.

"If anything happens to my son and the Fourth Prince, the ones who will benefit are naturally the First and Second Princes." Jingpin sneered, paused, and then said:

"And Xiao Yunyao. She is determined to deal with Ning Wanyin, and she might take the blame on me."

"But even if it was her, I couldn't possibly deal with her right now."

Xiao Yunyao is a good weapon for her to deal with Ning Wanyin.

"Let's wait and see. The biggest threat to my son is the Fourth Prince, so we should focus on the important matters." Concubine Jing suppressed her anger and regained her composure.

In the past, she was patient and dormant because the palace was peaceful and any movement she made would be very conspicuous and attract Ning Wanyin's attention.

Now that a new person has entered the palace and there is someone available, she must take this opportunity to resolve the biggest obstacle to her son's ascension to the throne.

Yonghe Palace.

"Master, the palace maid who took action today entered the palace half a year ago and has a very clean background." Lian Rui stepped forward to report.

When the Cen family rebelled, many palace maids were implicated, and the case of Concubine Shu implicated a large number of palace maids as well.

Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected palace ladies to fill the imperial palace many times.

If someone takes the opportunity to sneak in, it cannot be avoided.

The person behind the scenes could be the mother of several princes, could be Xiao Yunyao, or could be a hidden concubine.

Xiao Yunyao has no heir, so it seems that there is no need to rush to harm the Fourth Prince...

But there was an inconspicuous detail, that is, something happened to the Jingusi, and the eternal lamp praying for the country's fortune was extinguished, and Ning Wanyin could not escape the blame.

Perhaps in Xiao Yunyao's eyes, in this way, she can monopolize the power of the six palaces?

"Everyone in Yonghe Palace should be more vigilant, and tell the maids to be careful." Ning Wanyin ordered.

Lian Rui obeyed the order.

No matter who it is this time, they will not give up if they fail once.

She should reveal some flaws and give the enemy a chance to attack.

So as to prevent the enemy from trying every possible means to deal with Xier.

Whether it was Xiao Yunyao, Jingpin, or anyone else...

Ning Wanyin carefully thought about the layout in her mind.

According to her usual behavior, she first imagined a suspicious person, and then tailored ten plans based on the other person's personality and family background.
