However, figuring out how to use the second wife as a key breakthrough to quickly cause a huge uproar within the Prime Minister's residence requires careful consideration and meticulous planning.
After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a large and complex family system, with intricate interpersonal relationships and complicated conflicts of interest.
If you are not careful, you may not only fail to achieve your goal, but you may also bring unexpected trouble or even danger to yourself.
It is necessary to consider all relationships to achieve a decisive and effective strike.
Rong Ning had rarely set foot in Nanyang City before, and knew very little about the gossip surrounding the noble families in the city; she was completely clueless about it.
If only my older sister were here!
Back then, even before her father ascended the throne, her elder sister was renowned and highly respected in the aristocratic circles of Nanyang City, making her one of the most influential figures.
Therefore, everyone invites the elder sister to their banquets, big or small.
Over time, you'll learn more.
No matter how trivial the events were in anyone's backyard, my sister knew them all perfectly well.
There was a period of time when Rong Ning would only return to Nanyang City once every six months or so.
At these times, the two sisters would always sleep in the same bed, talking enthusiastically about these interesting things, often continuing until midnight and still not having stopped.
At that time, Rong Ning only listened to these things as amusement during her leisure time and did not take them to heart.
Looking back now, I am filled with regret. If I had been more attentive and listened carefully to and remembered the stories and details my sister told me, I might be able to handle the situation now and wouldn't be so helpless.
“Aying…”
Rong Ning parted her lips slightly and summoned A Ying to her side.
After Aying approached, Rong Ning leaned down slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tonight, find an opportunity to sneak out of the mansion and find some reliable people to thoroughly investigate the situation of the second branch of the Prime Minister's mansion."
Remember, never alert the enemy.
Furthermore, the family of the second wife should not be overlooked either; they also need to be thoroughly investigated.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A bright smile bloomed on Aying's face, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She has always been most enthusiastic about missions that are full of mystery and challenge.
After a moment's thought, A-Ying blinked and asked sweetly, "Your Highness, is there anything else important that I need to do? It's not easy to sneak out like this, wouldn't it be a waste if it were just for this one thing?"
Rong Ning frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "How about this, you should take some time to visit the Red Lotus Pavilion."
Although judging by the timeline, there's a high probability that there won't be any definite results yet, I just can't calm down if I don't ask!
However, we must be extremely careful during this operation, especially when you go there. You must keep your whereabouts completely hidden. We are currently staying at the Prime Minister's residence, and there are definitely people watching us in the shadows. We cannot afford to let them find out about my relationship with the Red Lotus Pavilion.
Given my current situation, if others were to find out about this relationship, it would likely cause some unexpected trouble, which would be extremely bad!
Rong Ning still clearly remembers that day. When she told her elder sister about her secret plans to build an intelligence network, her elder sister's face immediately turned solemn, and she solemnly warned her that this matter must not be discovered by the Emperor!
Although Rong Ning already had a plan in mind, she still felt a chill when she heard her elder sister's serious warning.
Because she knew all too well that if her father found out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In reality, the exceptionally intelligent Rong Ning was perfectly aware of the extent of her father's trust in her. She knew that all the power she possessed stemmed from her father's deliberate indulgence and relinquishment.
She also understood that this trust was not unshakeable or immutable. If one day her father realized that she was gradually slipping out of his control, then his attitude towards her would probably no longer be as tolerant and magnanimous as it was now, allowing her to act recklessly.
After all, in this palace, the struggle for power has always been ruthless, and any slight disturbance could trigger a dramatic change in the situation.
As someone at the center of the power vortex, Rong Ning needs to be constantly vigilant and walk carefully on this path full of thorns and traps.
However, Rong Ning knew that as her meticulously constructed intelligence network expanded and grew stronger, its influence would inevitably increase day by day.
Therefore, keeping this secret hidden forever, without anyone noticing it, is practically a pipe dream and has no chance of being realized.
At this moment, the most urgent task facing Rong Ning is to consolidate her foundation and position as soon as possible before her incomparably noble father finds out about this matter.
Only in this way, even if her father discovers what she has done in the future and tries to take action against her, he will have to carefully consider how serious the consequences will be.
Rong Ning has never been the kind of delicate woman who can be manipulated or exploited by others. She is resolute, independent, and as tenacious as a plum blossom braving the snow. No matter what difficulties or challenges she faces, she always stays true to herself and never easily succumbs to external pressure or interference.
"Planning ahead and leaving yourself a way out" has always been her unchanging principle in life.
