The Regent's Little Wife

"One is the East Factory, and the other is the Cabinet. They are all your Majesty's confidants. You brought me to the Cabinet. What do you want to ask?" Sang Ning asked in confusion.

Jiang Xiaolang looked Sang Ning up and down. This woman in front of him had been imprisoned in the cabinet for three years before, and he had some contact with her. But when he saw her today, her words, actions, and manners were very different from before.

Her words and deeds were aggressive and arrogant before, which was unbearable. So during the three years in the dark cabinet, His Majesty took revenge on her like crazy. As for his subordinates, they naturally didn't have a good face for her. Even so, she was still so arrogant and looked superior. She didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all, and was no different from a street shrew outside. She had already become a prisoner, and she didn't know what her situation was.

Now she feels like a different person. No matter her manners or moves, she exudes a noble temperament. More importantly, she has a strong aura.

How could a person who had been locked up in a dungeon for three years completely change his character and behavior within a month? And he could make His Majesty change his attitude towards him completely within a month. How could he make His Majesty change his attitude towards him completely within a month? Why didn't he give in once in these three years? Even if he gave in once in these three years, His Majesty would not have locked him up in the dungeon for so long.

And today she can actually practice martial arts. Although those people from the East Factory are not top-notch martial artists, they can easily capture anyone. But the woman in front of him actually defeated more than a dozen people from the East Factory. And I have secretly observed all her martial arts routines, but I don't know which school she comes from. Who is she? Was her previous performance all fake? If her previous performance was all fake, it means that her acting skills are too good.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Madam... since we have come to the Dark Chamber, don't you have anything to say?"

Sang Ning had no idea what he was talking about, and what did he want to explain?

"I really don't understand. What do you want me to explain? Just tell me clearly."

What on earth is this Jiang Xiaolang woman up to? This matter is already so clear? Is there still any need to hide it?

"Your Majesty... I really want to know who asked you to do this? What role did you play in this? Don't you know that what our Majesty hates the most is the buying and selling of official positions? Now that you are a noble concubine, you have everything you need. Why do you still want to touch this bottom line?" Jiang Xiaolang blurted it all out.

Sang Ning was confused. What is buying and selling official positions? He had crossed the line. When did he buy and sell official positions? Could it be that Li Yuanfang asked me to work in the Dali Temple, and they thought we were buying and selling official positions? How could it be possible? I didn't do any business with Lord Li, and do you have any evidence of buying and selling official positions? Did we have any financial dealings? Since there was no financial dealings, you can't say that.

But there must be something hidden behind the arrest of two groups of people from Dongcheng and the Cabinet. Is someone trying to harm us?

Thinking of this, she said, "My Lords, there is nothing wrong between Lord Li and I, and we have not made any deal. I don't know why the matter between us has attracted the attention of the two Lords, but if it was not done, it was not done. You can't put the blame on me."

"Lord Li did recommend me to work at the Dali Temple. He just said that our personal literary talent and ability would definitely qualify us for the position at the Dali Temple. So I did agree at the time, but there was no transaction between Lord Li and me. He just recommended me. Is recommending others to work? Is that what you call buying and selling official positions?"

Of course she couldn't admit something Sang Ning hadn't done. At this time, Wei Qing smiled coldly.

"Your Majesty...if you didn't buy or sell official positions, where did the silver bills in your home come from?" As he said this, he took out ten silver bills from his pocket and threw them in front of Sang Ning.

"Your Highness... this note is worth one thousand taels, there are ten notes in total, together they are worth ten thousand taels. Someone saw you two doing a private transaction, and it was you who gave the note to Lord Li. Could this be false?"

Sang Ning was shocked when she heard this. What the hell is this? Someone saw us trading privately. When did Li Yuanfang and I trade? It seems that someone is framing me. But who is framing me? I have only been in this plane for a month, and I have basically never dealt with those people. Could it be them? Is it Lin Yao, Shangguan Rou, Su Dieyi? Or that person named Qiu Shuibi? Who is framing me in this way?

"I don't know where this banknote came from, but why do I want to do this business of buying and selling officials? I came here..." She wanted to say that I came here to capture Shen Yan, and I have no interest in other things. She almost let it slip.

"I'm telling you, since I'm here I'm definitely innocent. I hope you can investigate the whole story and clear my name and that of Lord Li. I want to know who reported it, and I want to confront him."

Sang Ning said firmly, because he didn't do anything, he couldn't admit it. And this matter must be a false accusation. She didn't expect that there were still people harming her here. It seemed that she couldn't be soft-hearted with these people and had to eradicate them completely.

The emperor's order only required the two to question the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine insisted that she did not do it. Lord Li also said that he did not do it before. He and Sang Ning were innocent, and their statements were basically the same. But this does not mean that the two did not do it. The banknotes are indeed real. There are also eyewitnesses who prove that the two did have this transaction, but the two do not admit it. What should we do next?

As the head of the cabinet, Jiang Xiaolang has seen all kinds of people. He has certain means to interrogate criminals. He often uses some unwritten means. But the woman in front of him is His Majesty's concubine. Can he use some unwritten means to interrogate her? But His Majesty has ordered that something must be found out within three days, so forget it, just use some unwritten means.

We can torture Li Yuanfang, but since we can't torture her, we can use some unwritten methods to interrogate her. Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and a man came over. Sang Ning looked up at the man. He knew him. He was Si Nan, the secret guard beside Shen Yan, and also a member of the secret chamber. What did they call Si Nan over for? Did they want to give him...

She thought of how he had recruited Si Nan when he first came. This Si Nan was indeed quite capable. I had taken the antidote before and had entered his illusion. Recently, my system has been under maintenance and I cannot get the antidote now. It seems that I will definitely fall into his hands this time.

It seems that we can only take one step and see one step.

"Sinan... they actually invited you here as well. It seems like you must get something out of me today. Come up with whatever tricks you can..." Sang Ning knew that Sinan's mind-control skills were much stronger than hers.
