"How did Your Majesty guess that?" Lian Rui was very shocked.
Ning Wanyin said, "There are already people from the two dukes in the palace. Concubine Xue is plotting something important, so of course she needs to use assassins who will never betray her. She also has the ability to place people in Lingxue Pavilion, instead of spending money to bribe an outsider temporarily, which is too risky."
"So, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any banknotes in Caiye's house. Even if you want to give a reward, you can just send the Xue family's people outside the palace to her house. Isn't that more secretive and safer?"
"Of course, because Concubine Xue can't say that Caiye is hers, she doesn't need to spend money to bribe her. So, I win this round."
"But His Majesty is thoughtful, intelligent and suspicious. He naturally understands that the appearance of this banknote is inappropriate."
Lian Rui was confused by what she heard, but she finally figured it out. "So what? Although the banknotes were given by the master, Cai Ye is indeed Concubine Xue's person!"
"You are wrong. Since there is no physical evidence, she could be a member of the Xue family, or she could be mine." Ning Wanyin looked at the chessboard in front of her, quietly stroking the white chess piece in her palm.
Yinzhu came out to confess because of the physical evidence she planted.
In other words, there is actually no definite evidence to prove that Ning Wanyin did not instruct Cai Ye.
"Your Majesty believed in you..." Lian Rui hastily explained, "At that time, when the banknotes had not yet appeared, His Majesty specifically asked people to check carefully... Your Majesty believed in you."
really.
When all the evidence pointed to him, Helian Qi believed that she was innocent.
But when everything settled down, he found that Ning Wanyin was the winner of this round, and he felt a little hesitant.
The human heart is hard to predict, but who benefits is obvious.
The emperor has always attached great importance to results, so it is not surprising that he has doubts about the ultimate beneficiaries.
Of course, compared to Ning Wanyin, the emperor is even less likely to trust Xue Jinyan.
In this matter, he was 99% sure that he believed Ning Wanyin, he just had a little doubt.
But, after all, the rift between her and the emperor was not about the authenticity of the five hundred taels of silver.
Instead, the emperor sensed her sharpness.
Not only can it be used to deal with enemies, it can also hurt your own people.
Even if it wasn't Ning Wanyin who did it this time, will she put the people he cares about in danger for the sake of her own interests next time?
Ning Wanyin was not the emperor's confidant cultivated since childhood. They did not have a deep friendship, nor did they have a foundation of trust.
Ning Wanyin would not trust the palace maids in Lingxue Pavilion, and how could the emperor trust a concubine he had just met for a short time?
It was just a knife he picked up along the way.
Very useful, but also very dangerous.
The more useful Ning Wanyin is, the more he will pay attention to her dangers.
As long as Ning Wanyin keeps moving forward, this situation is inevitable.
For the emperor, there is no irreplaceable chess piece. It would be a pity to throw away a good knife, but I am not sure about using it, so it is better to leave it idle for the time being.
And things that are left unused gradually become less important.
Sometimes, it looks like winning.
But in fact, it is already on the verge of losing.
She still needs to remind His Majesty of a small matter in order to truly win this game.
Ning Wanyin dropped the chess piece in her palm into the chessboard.
One move into the game, a small loss of half, but a revitalized the overall situation:
"Don't worry, His Majesty will see me."
Lian Rui hurriedly said, "Master, what do you need to do? Just tell me!"
"You don't have to do anything. Someone will help me." Ning Wanyin pursed her thin lips and looked at the chess board with deep eyes.
Lian Rui was very curious: Who would help the master? The master has no friends in the palace.
