The concubine is extremely cautious

Cuiping, who was serving on the side, thought to herself, this is a blessing that other concubines can't ask for! You are so reluctant...

The next moment, her own master also started to yell, with a gloomy face, as if he had lost his parents:

"Cousin, why did the emperor suddenly think of me? I don't want to go!"

She was born in the northwest, so she is not afraid of the cold and likes to go out and play on snowy days.

but……

She doesn't want to sleep with me!

The emperor suddenly remembered her and she was so panicked!

I just felt that my life was shaky and in danger again!

Ning Wanyin thought for a moment, looked at her and asked:

"As the year draws to a close, His Majesty has summoned some of the generals guarding the border to come to the capital to report on their work. Have you received a letter from your father saying that he is coming to the capital..."

"My father sent me a letter a few days ago, telling me that he was going to Beijing to report on his work. But I have no favor and no status in front of the emperor. The emperor will definitely not grant me the grace to see him, and I won't be able to see him even if he comes..." Tang Miaoling said casually.

"His Majesty is taking you there, probably to give the Tang family a favor and allow you and your daughter to meet..." Ning Wanyin said.

Tang Miaoling was even more surprised, "When did I have such a big face in front of the emperor?"

"Is there a possibility that it is for your father's face? This grace is actually given to your father, so that he can see his daughter?" Wei Yingya had a flash of inspiration.

She has now learned everything from observing the concubines in the previous dynasty!

"So it is actually my father who is favored and has a high status in front of the emperor?" Tang Miaoling suddenly realized.

Before entering the palace, her wealth and glory of the Tang family were earned by her father in battles.

After entering the palace, her wealth and glory of the Tang family still depended on her father.

Ah, so it seems like there is no point in me entering the palace.

"What about me? No one in the Wei family should want to see me, right? What kind of favor is the emperor giving to the Wei family?" Wei Yingya looked at Ning Wanyin.

The original owner's father and brother died in the war, and his mother at home also passed away after hearing the bad news.

She had no relatives and the Wei family had only a bunch of enemies.

Ning Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "This might be the grace the emperor wants to give."

The Wei family, the Cen family, Cen Zhaoyi, who wouldn’t feel disgusted when seeing Wei Yingya?

"So I came here specifically to cause trouble for the Wei family?" Wei Yingya was startled, and immediately became interested:

"Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly not afraid of the cold anymore! If the Wei family is unhappy, then I'm happy, hehe!"

Tang Miaoling was also very happy to see her father soon, and said, "There are many fun things to do on a snowy day. I'll take you out to play! But why didn't you come with me, cousin?"

They both looked at Ning Wanyin.

"I'm afraid of the cold... Besides, since Concubine Shu is not here, there must be someone in charge of the six palaces." Ning Wanyin said casually.

The emperor deliberately took the concubine away, which saved a lot of trouble.

……

Concubine Shu was a little surprised when she received the imperial edict.

Pearl was surprised and said, "My Lady, His Majesty specially took you to the winter hunt, and he still gave you this honor."

There are many concubines in the six palaces, but only a few can go with the winter hunt. It is naturally an honor to be able to go, and I don't know how many concubines envy them.

"The emperor is just taking me away to make room for Ning Wanyin." Concubine Shu was not fooled by appearances and understood the emperor's plan at a glance.

After she left the palace, Ning Wanyin was the only one who had the final say in the harem.

While she is away, it will be easier for Ning Wanyin to quickly take control of the affairs of the six palaces.

The emperor is paving the way for the sweetheart of his heart.

"While I'm away, everyone should be careful. Don't let Ning Wanyin find any evidence against you..." Concubine Shu said in a deep voice.

Pearl nodded suddenly, "Yes."

"I haven't left the palace for a long time. It's not all bad for His Majesty to take me out this time..." Concubine Shu thought for a moment, a cold light flashing in her eyes:

"Prepare some ginseng soup and go to Qianxin Palace to express gratitude."

……

At the end of the winter month, the emperor went hunting in Purple Mountain.

After these days of treatment, the wounds on Lady Shi's face finally healed, but no matter how many folk remedies she tried, she could not get rid of the ugly scars.

"Damn it, that bitch Ning Wanyin, it's all her fault, I'm going to kill her!" Lady Shi overturned the pile of ointments in front of her to the ground, her face full of resentment.

The personal maid Liuying knelt on the ground in a hurry and said, "My Lord, Master Xue is now on the winter hunt with His Majesty, and Ning Wanyin is in charge of the six palaces. You must not openly conflict with her..."

"That useless Wei Yingya isn't here either..." There was deep hatred in Lady Shi's eyes.

"Master, Lord Xue has already told us that Concubine Ying is a chess piece that needs to be carefully hidden and cannot be easily moved..." Liuying reminded.

Even if Wei Yingya was here, Xue Jinyan would not allow Lady Shi to use her casually and ruin her overall situation.

Lady Shi knew it very well.

"Xue Jinyan's face isn't disfigured, so she can naturally bear this!" Lady Shi's eyes were filled with resentment. "She has dealt with Ning Wanyin so many times, but it has never worked. We can't count on her!"

"Let me think about it... By the way, is Concubine Zhu dead?"

Ever since Concubine Zhu was banished to the cold palace, Concubine Shi has never asked about her again.

"Master Xue sent people to take care of her. Although she is covered with wounds, she managed to survive. By the way, she must want Ning Wanyin to die just like the master. Does the master want to join forces with her?" Liuying suddenly realized.

Lady Shi sneered, "She's already been sent to the cold palace, how can she join hands with me? If I were her, I would be injured like this and sent to the cold palace, what's the point of living? It's better to just die."

"I heard that after Concubine Zhu woke up, she threatened to commit suicide several times, but she couldn't bear to die..." Liuying said.

It is easy for people to have thoughts of death.

But there are very few people who can really be cruel to themselves.

Better to die than live.

"I think it's better for her to die..." Lady Shi stared at Liuying dimly and said:

"She is useless if she is alive. If she dies and becomes a fierce ghost, she will go to seek revenge on Ning Wanyin and drag Ning Wanyin down with her to be buried with her!"

Liuying reacted instantly, "I understand."

The "ghost" of Concubine Zhu went to scare Ning Wanyin. If she could scare her into confessing the murder of Concubine Zhu, then Ning Wanyin would surely die.

……

After a heavy snowfall.

It is said that Concubine Zhu in the cold palace accidentally fell and hit her head on a stone, and died on the spot.

Some rumors arose in the harem.

It was said that Ning Wanyin cut the roots of the problem and sent Concubine Zhu away.

Some people also said that Concubine Zhu died miserably and that her ghost was seen floating around.

Ning Wanyin is now in power as the empress. She punished several palace maids who were gossiping, and the rumors stopped.

But people in the palace were also in panic.

This day.

Ning Wanyin and Shunpin discussed the preparations for the full moon banquet for the princess. They talked until a little late, and on the way back to Lingxue Pavilion, it was completely dark.

Xiao Guizi held a lamp and led the way.

Xiao Xiazi and Lian Rui guarded Ning Wanyin on the left and right.

The harp and chess followed closely behind, and the two maids followed not too far behind. In addition, there were seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs who usually served in Lingxue Pavilion. (The book and painting stayed behind in Lingxue Pavilion)

suddenly……

A ghostly shadow floated past everyone's eyes.

"Ah! Ghost!" Xiao Guizi threw the lantern away in fright.

The bearers who were carrying the sedan chair got off in a hurry.

A white shadow was floating in the sky, with hair hanging down to cover its face, and bloodstains on its white clothes.

A sinister voice came out from nowhere:

"Ning Wanyin, you burned me so badly...give me back my life..."

"Ghost!" "There is a ghost!"

The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they screamed and became a mess.

Only Xiao Xiazi, Lianrui, Bangqin and Bangqi protected Ning Wanyin tightly, and the two maids also quickly stepped forward and surrounded Ning Wanyin.

"Noble Lady Zhu is here! Noble Lady Zhu is here!" a palace maid screamed.

There had long been rumors in the palace about Ning Wanyin setting fire to Concubine Zhu.

When the ghost said that the burn was so terrible... the palace maids and eunuchs automatically identified themselves with the ghost.
