Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei frowned slightly, took off the gold bracelet on her hand, twisted it gently, and a few silver bills and a few small gold beans fell out.

This is a hollow gold bracelet that can be used to hide emergency items.

"Bring the poison."

She stuffed some medicine in, then took out her gold hairpin, twisted the hairpin head, and stuffed some more medicine in.

She doesn't have much jewelry on her, but each one has a secret mechanism.

Shaoyao did the same thing and soon hid all the medicine. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Outside the carriage, Jiang Yuting refused to give in and refused to accept the guards' inspection. The noble ladies all supported Jiang Yuting and clamored for a decent life.

The guards insisted and refused to show any mercy, so the two sides came to a stalemate.

A lazy voice sounded, "Why is it blocked? Hurry up."

It was the Fourth Prince, dressed in prince's clothes, with a displeased look on his face. He was assigned to be in charge of this area, but he thought it was too tedious and ran aside to shirk his responsibilities.

Jiang Yuting's eyes lit up, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, please help us."

They have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship.

The guard said loudly, "Fourth Prince, this is the order of the emperor, no one is allowed to disobey."

The fourth prince hesitated. His father's temper was getting weirder and weirder. He didn't dare to offend him, but he would seem useless anyway. Who would be willing to support him in his bid for the throne?

He glanced around and suddenly saw the carriage of the Jingning County Lord's Mansion. He immediately had an idea, "Hey, isn't this the Jingning County Lord? Come, you go first."

Ning Zhiwei poked her head out and glanced at him indifferently, "You bastard, you want to see her being humiliated?"

"Fourth Prince, the other princes are busy, but you have nothing to do?"

Ever since the death of the eldest princess, the fourth prince hated her very much and put all his hatred on her. "Stop talking nonsense and come here quickly."

Ning Zhiwei sat still, his eyes extremely cold, as if he was looking at a clown.

The fourth prince was enraged and pointed at two guards, "Go over and check."

He looked at Ning Zhiwei gloomily, "If you dare to disobey, you will be executed on the spot."

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "Fortunately you are not the crown prince, otherwise, with your mind, once you are in power, no one will have a good life. You only know how to use tricks and schemes, and you are not presentable."

The fourth prince was furious. How could she speak like that? "You..."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes fell on those noble ladies. "Actually, this matter is not difficult to solve. Just ask a few old maids in the palace to check on the female relatives."

The ladies' eyes lit up, "Yes, that's a good idea. I'll ask the palace maid to check it out."

"The old maids in the palace are more careful and attentive. They checked more thoroughly and paid more attention." The tactful lady found a decent excuse.

Jiang Yuting urged impatiently, "Go and invite them quickly, do you want to block us here until midnight?"

The Fourth Prince rolled his eyes, called a guard and whispered a few words to him, and the guard hurried away.

After a while, the guards came over with two old maids.

The two old maids looked very serious, with stern faces, and climbed onto the carriage to check meticulously.

"Miss Jiang, please come in."

Jiang Yuting passed the inspection easily and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "That's great."

One by one, their turns came and when it was Ning Zhiwei's carriage's turn, the two old maids looked at each other with slightly cold eyes.

Ning Zhiwei saw it and frowned slightly, "Wait."

The fourth prince was inexplicably excited, "What? Don't dare to check? Search."

Two old maids rushed onto the carriage and started pinching Ning Zhiwei. One of the old maids reached for her waist and was about to throw the hidden things onto the carriage.

"Pa." Ning Zhiwei slapped him and kicked him off the carriage. "How dare you."

"The rules in this palace are not working. There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority. Which palace is this slave from? Tell me your name. I want to personally file a complaint with the emperor."

The old nanny's face changed and she couldn't help but look at the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince was arrogant, "Ning Zhiwei, you are carrying prohibited items, you must be feeling guilty, arrest her and beat her up first."

It is easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. He was revengeful out of hatred and his actions were so crude that people could not help but shake their heads.

Ning Zhiwei was about to curse when a clear voice rang out, "What's the fuss?"

"Master Rong is here."

Everyone made way for a man in blue who walked over leisurely. It was none other than Rong Jing, the former Minister of the Dali Temple.

Although he is unemployed at home, his influence is still there.

He was followed by servants from the Princess's Mansion, making for quite a grand occasion.

The fourth prince knew that Rong Jing held a different position in his father's heart, so he did not dare to confront him directly. "Cousin, Ning Zhiwei refused to be examined. There is something wrong with her."

Ning Zhiwei refused to take it anymore and pulled open her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms, which were covered with purple marks from pinching. "They pinched me on purpose to provoke me and to accuse me of something. Look, my arms are all blue from being pinched."

Rong Jing turned her head abruptly, her ears slightly red. She really was not particular about details.

"Guards will check it. Let...the maid at the Princess's residence take care of the personal belongings."

The old nanny in the Princess's Mansion was transferred from the palace after something happened. She was appointed by the Emperor himself and is deeply trusted by the Emperor.

The Fourth Prince could not refuse and could only watch as the maid from the Princess's Mansion got on the carriage to inspect it.

Ning Zhiwei cooperated very well, "Search, search carefully, just don't pinch me."

Listen to other people’s enlightenment.

Suddenly, an old maid asked in surprise, "County Lady, what is this?"

The fourth prince was overjoyed, "Did you find any contraband? Take it out and show it to everyone."

He wished he could find Ning Zhiwei's handle and kill him to avenge his sister's death.

A long package was taken down and unpacked in front of everyone. Layer after layer, it turned out to be a fancy bow and arrow, quite exquisite, specially for girls to play with, and it didn't look very lethal.

Ning Zhiwei said confidently, "I have been ordered to come here for the spring hunt, so I must have a bow and arrow to show off."

She had never demonstrated her amazing archery skills in public, so people in the capital thought she was not good at archery.

Only Shaoyao knew that her lady was a killing god on the battlefield, with every arrow she shot hitting its target and taking a life.

The Fourth Prince was extremely disappointed.

Rong Jing looked at the two old maids in the palace and suddenly pointed at one of them, "What do you have hidden around your waist?"

"No, no." The old lady's face changed drastically and she subconsciously dodged backwards.

The guards rushed over, restrained the old lady, and took out a jade bottle from her waist.

"It's arsenic." The guard's horrified voice rang out.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed. What the hell, hiding poison in the palace, what was he trying to do? Who was he trying to kill?

Rong Jing decisively ordered, "Go, report to the emperor that the old maid in the palace is hiding poison and has bad intentions."

This is a very big deal.

The fourth prince couldn't help but get anxious, "Cousin, let's check first..."

Rong Jing asked coldly, "This is a serious matter. If something goes wrong, can you take full responsibility?"

The fourth prince's face turned green. He couldn't! He didn't dare! What should he do?
