After visiting Ye Zhaoyi, Xue Jinshu returned to Qixiang Palace, feeling that Ye Zhaoyi was completely useless.
Originally, he was planning to use the fetus in her belly to find an opportunity to target Ning Wanyin...
In the end, she didn't even live to see Ning Wanyin return to the palace.
The emperor left Ning Wanyin in the palace to recuperate. Xue Jinshu wondered in his heart, could it be that this was to make it easier for Lan Zhaoyi to take power?
Otherwise, even if he was sick, he could return to the palace to recuperate.
Ning Wanyin was away for a while and missed a lot of the excitement.
Another idea came to Xue Jinshu's mind.
He instructed the palace maid, "Ask the Xue family to arrange a handsome chess piece to deliver mountain spring water to the palace every day."
She knew that Ning Wanyin's palace rules must be strictly enforced.
If a guard were to approach her, he would probably be caught on the spot.
But who says that spreading rumors requires catching the perpetrator red-handed?
The seemingly true rumors of secret meetings and romances were enough to make Ning Wanyin known as a slut.
For example, the imperial concubine was lonely staying in the palace, and there was a handsome man who went to the palace every day and had private relations with the imperial concubine.
I want to see if the emperor is disgusted?
…
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
Helian Qi and his group set out to return to the palace, and civil and military officials accompanied them.
The emperor left Han Xun to guard the outer perimeter of the palace, while the interior of the palace was still guarded by the eunuchs of the Wei Lin Division, led by Xiao Xia Zi.
"Your Majesty, please don't work too hard these days and take a good rest." Tang Miaoling looked at Ning Wanyin with concern.
They don't know the inside story.
I thought Ning Wanyin was really ill.
Ning Wanyin would naturally not tell them about this kind of deception. Allies in the same camp did not need to be honest all the time.
"I know." Ning Wanyin smiled faintly.
Wei Yingya smiled and said, "Ever since the newcomer entered the palace, there has been no peace in the palace. It's good to be away from the palace now, so Your Majesty can rest and recuperate! I'll make something delicious for Your Majesty!"
"Yes, yes, Sister Wei is right! I will catch birds for the Queen to play with!" Tang Miaoling nodded repeatedly.
Ning Wanyin smiled at the two of them and said, "You two should move to the warm room. Winter is coming next month, and only the Purple Extreme Hall and the warm room will have underground fire in the palace."
There is a warm room on each side of the Ziji Hall.
Now that the emperor is gone, Ning Wanyin took the lead and asked them all to move in.
"Great!" Wei Yingya nodded.
The two sisters happily moved into the new house.
Ning Wanyin looked at Lian Rui and said:
"Send Xiao Xiazi over here. I have something to tell you."
Lian Rui obeyed the order.
After a while, Xiao Xiazi walked in quickly and saluted:
"Your servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine."
"Today, His Majesty and other ministers have returned to the palace, leaving only me and the two Zhaoyi in the palace. The safety of the palace still depends on you and General Han Xun. You are all experts in defense layout, so there is no need for me to say more. There are just a few things that I need you to arrange." Ning Wanyin pondered.
The Imperial Guards and the Guards are in charge of guarding both the inner and outer levels of the palace.
They are all experienced in how to defend and how to protect the safety of concubines, so there is naturally no need for them to explain in detail.
Especially Han Xun, who was the commander of the imperial guard. He was responsible for protecting the emperor on weekdays and had never made any mistakes.
But what Ning Wanyin needed to explain was something else.
"Your Majesty, please give your instructions." Xiao Xiazi said respectfully.
"First, the road to Zijin Mountain is closed from now on. No one is allowed to approach. If anyone approaches intentionally, they will be arrested directly."
Zijin Mountain is a royal villa. On weekdays, only royal family members can come in to hunt, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Zijin Mountain is very large. The Zijin Palace where Ning Wanyin is located is located on the main peak. In addition to these, there are several other peaks, forming a situation where many stars surround the moon.
Even if some royal relatives really entered Purple Mountain and went hunting on other peaks, which was not in the same place as the palace, Ning Wanyin ruled out this possibility.
To prevent someone from spreading rumors that the concubine and the prince were having a secret meeting.
"Second, there is a distinction between inside and outside. The Imperial Guards are guarding the perimeter of the palace. No one is allowed to approach without my order, no matter what happens in the palace."
To prevent someone from spreading rumors that the concubines and guards were having secret meetings.
"Third, all the people who deliver things to the palace will be replaced by women or eunuchs."
Every day, people transported vegetables, fruits, charcoal and other items to provide food and daily life for everyone in the palace.
To prevent someone from spreading rumors that the concubine had a secret meeting with the delivery manager.
As for checking the delivered food and patrolling the palace gates, these are all regulations of conventional defense. After learning the palace rules for the plague, the Wei Linsi and the Imperial Guards are familiar with them.
There was no need for Ning Wanyin to give specific instructions.
The three new points added by Ning Wanyin are aimed at preventing one thing: spreading rumors.
Rumors are something that can easily create rifts even if you prove your innocence.
The best strategy is to nip it in the bud and not give the rumor any chance to ferment.
Xiao Xiazi was somewhat shocked by these rules. Why must the person delivering the food be a woman?
but……
Ning Wanyin was the imperial concubine. Before leaving, the emperor ordered everyone in the palace to obey Ning Wanyin's orders.
No matter whether the mountain is closed or women are replaced to deliver vegetables.
Whatever the queen says, that’s what we should do!
"Yes! I obey your orders!"
After leaving the palace, Xiao Xia Zi immediately followed Ning Wanyin's instructions and ordered the managers in charge of transporting goods to be replaced by women and eunuchs.
Also go to Han Xun to discuss the matter of closing the mountain.
Han Xun was very surprised when he heard Ning Wanyin's arrangement. Her arrangement was quite well guarded.
As a result, the Zijin Palace was guarded as solid as a rock.
Ning Wanyin asked the emperor and others to return to the palace with the books and paintings.
She was not in the palace, but she wanted to be the first to know about any disturbance in the palace. And...
She has a lot of staff in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If the managers have any matters, they also need someone to consult with.
Holding the books and paintings represents Ning Wanyin, who handles small matters directly and passes on important matters to the palace.
…
Tang Miaoling brought the dice chess to the palace.
Tang Miaoling couldn't remember the name of the Monopoly game, so she called it Dice Chess.
Throw the dice and make the grids. Simple and appropriate.
Ning Wanyin also played with the two of them when she had free time.
The three of them had just finished a game.
Lian Rui hurried forward to report the latest news: "Master, Ye Zhaoyi had a miscarriage."
Ning Wanyin's eyes darkened slightly, "What's going on?"
"She bumped into Princess Qizhu..." Lian Rui recounted the entire incident in detail.
The news sent back with the book was written in great detail.
Including Ye Zhaoyi who only brought a big palace maid Huaner with her to wander around...
Wei Yingya and Tang Miaoling were both stunned.
Princess Qizhu entered the palace as a concubine, a higher starting point than the concubines, but now she has been demoted two levels...
And wasn't it a bit of a coincidence that Ye Zhaoyi bumped into him?
The two looked at each other and just wanted to sigh, your palace fighting is too terrible, I'll hide!
Ning Wanyin pondered for a moment. Ye Zhaoyi had been waiting for her to return.
So this child...
Was it possible that it could not be saved?
However, only Ye Zhaoyi knew the details.
