Qingyue Garden, Changning Courtyard.
Xiao Guizi stepped forward quickly to report, "Master, the Ministry of Justice has posted a notice that His Majesty has sentenced Shi's daughter to death..."
The case file details of the announcement were repeated.
Ning Wanyin was not surprised that there was no mention of Fu Jiaoyi in the case file.
If the emperor knew the truth, he would naturally cover it up for the sake of the royal family's reputation and not involve the imperial concubine.
In the case of Ms. Shi, the mastermind behind the incident was not found, and the case was closed as she was the mastermind.
Many people think that the Xue family must be involved.
but……
The moment Ning Wanyin jumped out from the Shi girl, she already knew who was behind her.
Since the end of the talent show last year, Ning Wanyin has sent people to secretly keep an eye on Shi's daughter.
Because of her words, Shi's daughter lost her qualification for the selection. This potential enemy has a strong intention of revenge.
Ning Wanyin speculated on thirty possible revenge plots, half against herself and half against the Cheng family.
So they arranged two spies to keep watch and strengthened the secret protection of Bo's mansion.
If the Shi family girl doesn't take action, then it's fine. If she does, then send her away.
Ms. Shi really planned to take revenge on Ning Wanyin and her family.
But Ning Wanyin was in the palace, so she couldn't reach her. Cheng lived in seclusion, so she never found an opportunity.
This time, the mysterious person had prepared everything. She thought she could finally take revenge on Ning Wanyin, so she jumped out immediately.
The person Ning Wanyin sent to follow has been following her for a year.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will stare at her until she dies.
It is never too late for a villain to take revenge even after fifty years.
In Ning Wanyin's eyes, being defeated was not the end. The enemy was only a threat if he died clearly.
Ning Wanyin received a tip a few days ago that Shi's daughter had met a mysterious person...
But I don't know what they talked about. She also sent three times more guards to Cheng's travel...
After meeting Ms. Shi, the man in the cloak entered a yard.
When the sun went down, the eunuch who came out of the courtyard was a changed eunuch. He was going back to the palace, to...
…
Imperial Palace, Mingde Palace.
Su Ruhuan and Concubine Jing were drinking tea and chatting.
"If it weren't for taking care of me, Concubine Jing would have been able to go to the Mountain Resort. It is I who have dragged you down." Su Ruhuan looked guilty.
She is due to give birth in a month.
Helian Qi kept Concubine Jing to continue taking care of her.
Therefore, Concubine Jing became the only concubine who had an imperial heir and remained in the palace.
"Sister Su, you are too polite. It's not hot in this palace. Before His Majesty left, he specifically ordered that there would be no limit on the ice in Mingde Palace. This is so that you can take good care of your pregnancy." Concubine Jing said with a smile.
She didn't mind at all about not being able to go to the summer resort.
because……
Her nails had gone with it.
Now that she is in the palace, if something happens to the second prince, she can hide behind the scenes.
It's just right to distance yourself from the situation and control it remotely.
As for Su Ruhuan's pregnancy, Jingpin thought about it and felt that it was okay for her to give birth to the baby. She and Ning Wanyin were both favored concubines, and with this child, she would have one more bargaining chip to compete with Ning Wanyin for favor.
Su Ruhuan's appearance and talent make her very suitable to share Ning Wanyin's favor.
Moreover, she was just the daughter of a prefect, and even if she gave birth to a prince, it would not cause any waves.
However, Concubine Jing still hoped that she could give birth to a daughter.
"Has Concubine Jing heard the news that the Imperial Concubine's brother has returned to the capital?" Su Ruhuan said softly.
The imperial concubine has always been the center of attention.
Her brother's return to Beijing immediately attracted the attention of many noble families.
Concubine Jing naturally knew about this as well.
She was very alert about the fact that the imperial concubine's sickly brother had recovered from his illness.
She believed that the third prince's greatest advantage was the support of court officials, while the fourth prince's greatest advantage was that his mother was favored by the emperor.
If the Fourth Prince also has support in the court, then her son's advantage will be gone.
so……
She could not bear to watch Ning Wanyin's brother enter the court as an official and hold a high position.
Ever since she heard that Ning Wanyin's brother was coming back, she secretly arranged something.
This round will see Ning Wanyin's brother disgraced and sentenced to death.
Ning Wanyin only has this one biological brother. If he dies, Ning Wanyin can only support her half-brothers and cousins in the future. She can then see whether to use them or send them away like her biological brother.
No matter what, her own brother could never serve as an official in the court.
"I heard about it." Jingpin took a sip of tea and said slowly:
"I heard that her brother has been away recuperating from an illness. Now that he is back, the brother and sister must be very happy to see each other."
Seeing that she looked normal, Su Ruhuan guessed that Concubine Jing had already made arrangements.
Well, let's just wait and see what happens.
As the two were talking, the senior palace maid Xiuzhu came in hurriedly and reported:
"My queen, a big incident happened at the Mountain Resort. At the dinner yesterday... the daughter of the Shi family was sentenced to death."
Jingpin's hand holding the teacup froze, her heart was filled with rage, but her face remained calm:
"This Shi girl is really desperate to take revenge on the Imperial Concubine."
She consoled herself in her heart. Shi's daughter was dead, and Ning Wanyin couldn't find out that she was to blame.
Shi's daughter is a member of Xue's party. Ning Wanyin must suspect that Queen Mother Xue is behind this. If she fights with the Xue family, she will benefit from it, so it is not completely without gain.
Jingpin specially asked Shi's daughter to be the one to report the crime in order to divert the blame to the Xue family, to get rid of Ning Heng and put the blame on the Xue family.
Su Ruhuan glanced at Jingpin calmly, as if thinking about something. It seemed that Jingpin's plan had failed.
