Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

It is a token with the word "Royal" on the front and the word "Forest Garden" on the back. Holding this token, one can enter and exit the royal garden freely.

That is to say, with this token, she can run away at any time and escape far away.

Where did Rong Jing get the token? If I gave it to her, would it have any effect on him?

However, now is not the best time. I have to sneak out during the chaos without attracting anyone's attention.

Otherwise, even if he ran out of the royal garden, he would be hunted down if he was discovered later.

She held the token tightly and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she didn't have to fight her way out.

Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow. We have a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

The next day, everyone gathered in an open field and set up more than a dozen tents, the tallest and largest of which was the royal tent.

"Princess Jingning, this way please."

Ning Zhiwei was brought to a shed, and when she entered she saw a group of the most distinguished ladies in the empire, including the wives of marquises, dukes, princes, and the prime minister's wives.

According to her rank, there was no need for her to actively greet the noble ladies present; they could just greet each other and that was it.

Sitting in the main seat was the Princess of Li, a graceful and elegant lady who was heavily made up according to her rank. She looked at Ning Zhiwei with a somewhat cold look.

"Princess Jingning, I heard that your subordinates are going to marry into the Prime Minister's family? Aren't you worried about losing your position?"

Prince Li's family rarely attends social occasions, and at most appears during the New Year ancestor worship. Everyone was quite surprised to see Prince Li's wife appear here.

Ning Zhiwei had a strange expression on her face. "This is the Queen Mother's decree. If you have any dissatisfaction, go find the Queen Mother."

It's strange. We are not related at all, so why is he hostile to her when they first meet?

Princess Li felt as if her neck was being strangled. Her face flushed red, and she felt angry, scared, and annoyed. "What does this have to do with me? Why should I be dissatisfied? Princess Jingning's words are so meaningless."

Ning Zhiwei doesn't indulge anyone. If someone makes her unhappy, she will make the other person's whole family unhappy. "Then don't talk to me."

Princess Li remembered what the Queen Mother had told her last night, that she must humiliate Ning Zhiwei in front of everyone, and if she succeeded, she would arrange a good marriage for her most beloved son.

For this, she risked her life, "Your etiquette and rules are a mess, I'd better ask the Queen Mother to assign two old maids from the palace to you..."

Ning Zhiwei frowned, "It's no good meddling in other people's business. Is your traitorous concubine dead? Have you cleaned up your family? Can your daughter get married? Can your son find a wife?"

Even if they are relatives, if there is a traitor in the family, the impact will be very great, especially on the marriage of children.

"You are not a good steward. Have you been stripped of your rights? How come you have managed a traitorous concubine after so many years? Otherwise, let the Queen Mother assign two beautiful maids to help you share the burden?"

How could she have the courage to challenge her when she hadn't even cleaned up her own ass? Let her think about it, was it the Queen Mother who gave her the courage?

Everyone in the royal family is so stingy.

A series of artillery bombardments made Princess Li dizzy and her head buzzing.

She finally understood how cruel Ning Zhiwei was. "You... you... do you still have any sense of law?"

Ning Zhiwei yelled, "What? You represent the law? Then what is the emperor?"

Everyone looked over. Princess Li was about to faint. "Shut up, shut up."

Ning Zhiwei doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but she is not afraid of it either. If anyone is blind enough to think they can step on her, don't blame her for being rude.

"I won't, I won't. You are so arrogant. It is your traitorous concubine who gave you the confidence. Did she stay..."

Princess Li immediately slid to her knees and said, "Princess Jingning, I was wrong. I am getting old and confused."

She admitted defeat. She was no match for Ning Zhiwei at all. There is no false reputation.

She took off the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist, her face full of pain, "This jade bracelet was my dowry when I got married. It is extremely precious. I give it to Princess Jingning as a gift."

Ning Zhiwei took it without hesitation and handed it to Shaoyao behind him, "Thank you very much."

The others were so frightened that they dared not even fart. After this incident, no one dared to say anything or act like a superior in front of her.

"The Emperor has come out."

Everyone leaned out to look, and saw a group of officials escorting the emperor out of the imperial tent. The three camps immediately prostrated themselves at his feet and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.

The cheers were overwhelming, overwhelming, and reaching the sky, making people's hearts surge. This feeling of being on top was truly wonderful.

Drums and horns sounded, and flags were unfurled.

The fully armed emperor climbed onto a docile imperial horse with the help of eunuchs, drew his long sword, pointed to the sky, and announced loudly, "All soldiers, listen up. The winner of this time will be rewarded with this long sword and promoted three levels."

The soldiers' blood boiled when they heard this, "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor."

"The spring hunt begins." The emperor gave an order and rushed out with his horse's belly. The personal soldiers immediately followed to protect him. The princes looked at each other and refused to give in. Surrounded by each other's supporters, they all ran out to hunt, striving to be the first and win the favor of their father.

The battle for the throne has entered a white-hot stage. Either you die or I die.

Ning Zhiwei stood outside, watching everyone's backs as they walked away, and fell into deep thought.

If I'm not mistaken, the emperor's hands and feet were shaking when he got on the horse, and he was almost lifted up by the eunuchs.

A cold voice sounded in my ears, "Did you see it?"

Ning Zhiwei knew it was Rong Jing without even turning around, "Yeah."

"Make preparations early." Rong Jing reminded softly and turned to leave.

A leisurely voice came from behind, "What about you?"

Rong Jing paused, "No matter what, he is the eldest princess's son, nothing will happen to him."

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "No, you are dangerous."

"Given the emperor's suspicious nature, if he were to die, you, the eldest princess's son, who is suspected to be a remnant of the previous dynasty, would definitely be buried with him."

She could understand this principle, but didn't Rong Jing understand it? No, he understood everything, and he remained silent.

Ning Zhiwei tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Come with me then."

Rong Jing's eyes were hot and the words on his lips were about to burst out, but reason stopped him, "My mother is here, I'm not going anywhere, you don't have to worry about me."

Ning Zhiwei wanted to persuade him again, but the second princess appeared out of nowhere and said, "Cousin, why don't you go?"

"Why would a weak scholar like me join in the fun?"

The Second Princess looked at Rong Jing with cold eyes, then at Ning Zhiwei, and asked innocently, "Cousin, are you familiar with Princess Jingning? What did you talk about?"

Rong Jing said expressionlessly, "We are talking about an unsolved case. The body was dismembered by the murderer and cut into eight pieces, but the first end has never been found..."

The second princess almost vomited, her face pale, "No, no, don't say it."

Why does such a handsome young man like to talk about this?

She took a deep breath, suppressed her nausea, and suddenly said seriously, "Cousin, I plan to ask my father for permission to marry me to you."

Rong Jing: ...

Ning Zhiwei:!!!
