"I have something to report." Ning Wanyin said.
Helian Qi didn't like being interrupted when he was reviewing memorials, but Ning Wanyin wouldn't bother him for trivial matters, so he was patient:
"What's up?"
"A palace maid named Cai Ye from Lingxue Pavilion went to Concubine Xue's Qionghua Garden today. I don't know what she did in there. This is the tip-off that Xiao Xiazi got while tracking her. I just learned about it and immediately came to report it to you." Ning Wanyin said directly.
Xiao Xia Zi is the emperor's man, and even if Ning Wanyin doesn't say it, Xiao Xia Zi will report it.
Ning Wanyin specifically used Xiao Xiazi to track them.
One is that he has some kung fu skills, so he can get away even if he is discovered. Ning Wanyin is worried about Lian Rui doing this alone, in case she is discovered and killed.
The second is that His Majesty values the dragon fetus. If he finds a spy in her palace, His Majesty will deal with it for Shunpin's safety, which is a good way to use the power of others.
Helian Qi's eyes darkened. The Xue family was going to take action against Shunpin?
"I dare not speculate what Concubine Xue wants to do. Maybe she just wants my maid to gossip. But I am responsible for taking care of Concubine Shun, so I have to treat it with caution. I ask Your Majesty to send more people to keep a close eye on this maid..." Ning Wanyin reported in a deep voice.
Helian Qi nodded slightly, "I understand. You did your best."
After leaving Ganxin Hall, Ning Wanyin fell into deep thought.
There are only two possibilities for how Concubine Xue bribed Cai Ye.
First, to murder Shunpin. Second, to murder himself.
The emperor was devoted to protecting the dragon fetus and suspected that Concubine Shun was trying to kill Concubine Xue, but Ning Wanyin felt that Concubine Xue was more likely targeting her.
In Xue Zhaoyi's heart, killing herself is definitely more important than killing Shunpin.
Remember what Tang Miaoling said about the fire in Linlang Palace?
This further strengthened her suspicion.
She came to ask for instructions on the pretext of protecting Shunpin. As long as the emperor sent more people, whether the other party wanted to deal with Concubine Zhuang or Shunpin, they could just sit back and wait.
