Rong Ning has caused quite a stir at the Prime Minister's residence these past few days!
She not only acted flamboyantly, but also cleverly used various means to throw the entire Prime Minister's residence into chaos.
Meanwhile, the spies she had planted in the mansion thrived, often inadvertently stirring up trouble and fanning the flames.
For example, one day, when Rong Ning was chatting with one of the ladies in the manor, she said seemingly unintentionally, "The atmosphere in this manor has been rather strange lately."
Although these words were spoken lightly, those who were interested would inevitably feel a ripple in their hearts and begin to secretly ponder their deeper meaning.
In fact, Rong Ning was well aware that the Prime Minister's residence was currently in a very delicate situation.
However, she had no idea how many people truly understood the truth behind it all.
However, it is certain that besides Xie Xizhu and Miss Xie Si, who already knew about this, there must have been other people who had also heard rumors.
After all, there are no truly airtight walls in the world. Even if the men in the Prime Minister's mansion wanted to keep the news tightly under wraps, there would always be loopholes.
After a period of time, the once awe-inspiring and impregnable Prime Minister's Mansion could no longer maintain its former indestructible status, as if it were an impregnable fortress.
It used to be like an airtight iron barrel, and no matter how hard external forces tried, they could not easily penetrate it even a little bit.
Now, this seemingly impregnable fortress has begun to show cracks, and those who have been eyeing it covetously have finally sensed an opportunity, and are eager to make their move.
"Aying, immediately send someone to take good care of Xie Xizhu. Remember, do not restrict her in any way. If she wants to go out, let her go. Just make sure she doesn't encounter any mishaps!" Rong Ning instructed solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Aying couldn't help but show some concern. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Your Highness, do you think this matter needs further consideration?"
After all, Xie Xizhu comes from the Prime Minister's residence. If we just let her act as she pleases, aren't we afraid she'll secretly pass messages to the Prime Minister's residence? What if…”
"What are you guarding against?"
Rong Ning's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, as if the two words she uttered carried endless mockery.
"Does the Prime Minister not know what I just said?"
He knew it perfectly well, just like a mirror!
How could he not know that his father had already made up his mind to take action against him? Of course he knew!
That's why he acts with such extreme caution, fearing that one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
Rong Ning gently shook her head, gazing into the distance, as if she could see the unfathomable palace intrigue through the scene before her.
"Even if Xie Xizhu reports everything she has heard and seen to the Prime Minister after she returns, it will be of no use. At most, it will only increase their anxiety, and it will have no impact on the overall situation."
At this point, Rong Ning slowly turned around, her eyes fixed on A Ying beside her, and solemnly said, "A Ying... in this thrilling and treacherous power struggle, the Prime Minister has already fallen into a deadly situation."
No matter how much he struggled and resisted, he couldn't escape his fate of being eliminated. This was the cruel reality, an inescapable destiny.
At this moment, the road ahead of him was extremely narrow, as if he were being tightly gripped by the hand of fate, leaving him with absolutely no other choice.
Aying frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then said as if suddenly realizing something, "Your Highness... I think I understand what you mean. I will immediately instruct my servants to carry it out!"
After saying this, she respectfully bowed to Rong Ning, then turned and hurriedly left.
Rong Ning simply nodded slightly, indicating her approval and agreement. She casually waved her hand, signaling A Ying to quickly arrange the relevant matters.
Rong Ning, who had not returned to the princess's residence for several days, discovered that a considerable amount of business had accumulated and needed to be handled.
She went straight to the study, sat down at the large desk, and began to bury herself in the complex and varied work.
Time passed by, and after an unknown amount of time, Rong Ning finally finished dealing with most of the matters at hand.
She slowly raised her head from the desk piled with documents and stretched her stiff neck slightly.
Just then, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.
The princess's residence is usually quiet and sparsely populated, and it is rare for such a loud noise to be heard on ordinary days.
Such an unusually noisy scene most likely indicates the arrival of a distinguished guest. Moreover, within the princess's residence, the only person who could enter her study without prior notice is probably Her Highness the Crown Prince.
As Rong Ning pondered this, her initial eagerness to go out and find out what was going on immediately calmed down.
She slowly stood up, gently stretched her arms, and then leaned back forcefully, stretching out as if to loosen up all the muscles and bones in her body.
After completing these movements, she slightly twisted her neck, making a few crisp "click" sounds, as if this would make her feel more relaxed and comfortable.
After that, she sat back down in her chair and waited leisurely for the person outside the door to arrive.
“A-Ning…”
With a loud shout, the prince's excited cry echoed from afar, as if it would startle the entire capital. His voice was high-pitched and joyful, making it seem as if he were in an extremely good mood, as if he had encountered some momentous occasion.
