Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Ning Qishao said calmly, "He said that the court wants me to seize power from you and secure the position of the head of the Ning Family Army. He advised you to go out and quell the rebellion. The court and the emperor will fully support me."

Ning Zhiwei was extremely disdainful, "Haha, what can you support me with? Just your mouth?"

She truly looked down upon the imperial court, had no intention of pacifying the country, and was only thinking about internal strife.

The voice of Ning Qishao came to my ears, "I agree."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What?"

Ning Qishao looked disappointed, "Shouldn't you have drawn your sword and pointed it at me the first time?"

Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes, "You are my brother."

"Fool." Ning Qishao's expressionless face suddenly showed a hint of smile. "You are determined to become an empress, how can you trust others so easily? Remember, even if they are your closest relatives, you must be on guard, because people's hearts are fickle."

From childhood to adulthood, she has always been the most determined child, with great ambitions, and she wanted to become the first female general of this dynasty.

To this end, she put in all her efforts, studied literature and martial arts, persevered, and moved forward towards her goal with determination.

My grandfather said that among their generation, Ning Zhiwei is the most outstanding one, his intelligence and strategy are far superior to everyone else. If he were a man, he would be the only choice to be the head coach of the Ning family.

He still remembered his grandfather's sigh and Ning Zhiwei's eyes full of regret.

But fate still pushed her to this point.

Ning Zhiwei was such a perceptive person that his heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"

Ning Qishao looked at her deeply, his eyes were very complicated, "There are people from the imperial court in the family."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned. This complicated tone definitely didn't belong to a servant. So, it must be a female relative? No way? "Who?"

Ning Qishao hadn't seen her with such a lively expression for a long time, and couldn't help but touch her head. His sister, how much suffering had she endured to get to where she is today.

"You're so smart, guess it yourself."

In fact, Ning Zhiwei was not very familiar with the women of the Ning family and kept a certain distance from them. The ones he was most familiar with were the three sisters of the Ning family.

She thought for a while, "Third Madam?"

Ning Qishao was a little surprised, "Why did you guess it was her?"

Ning Zhiwei had a very complicated expression. The Third Lady was a well-known virtuous wife and loving mother, dignified and generous. She couldn't have children herself, but she took the initiative to take a concubine to give birth to a child for her husband, which won her a lot of praise.

"She is the only female member of the family who has come out to take charge of public affairs, and she is also the only one who insists on attending the meeting. The court needs to control the dynamics of the northwest, so naturally, spies have to move around. What could be more legitimate than this?"

"Although the Third Madam was nominated by Old Madam Ning to do the job, how do we know that she wasn't the one pushing it secretly?"

Ning Qishao's lips curled up slightly, "Grandfather is right, you are the smartest among all your brothers and sisters."

"Did I guess right? How did you find out?" Ning Zhiwei was a little curious. She didn't have much contact with the female members of the Ning family, so it was normal that she didn't notice it, but what about the Seventh Young Master Ning?

Ning Qishao pursed his lips and said, "I lie down all day, my hands and feet cannot move, my brain cannot be idle, and I am more sensitive to changes in the outside world."

"I found that the new maid always said something that was not true, trying to sow discord between you and me, and trying her best to make me fearful about the future."

A disabled person will be more sensitive, more anxious, more worried about gains and losses than a normal person, and will be easily taken advantage of.

"I checked. On the surface, she was picked by Min'er to serve me, but in fact, she is the Third Madam's person."

Min'er is the maiden name of the Seventh Young Master's wife.

"The few maids around Min'er who are useful are also the Third Madam's people."

Ning Zhiwei reacted, "Sister-in-law Qi's personality changed drastically. Was it her fault?"

Ning Qishao smiled bitterly, "Yes, there is no emotional basis. When faced with a conflict of interest, it can't withstand years of instigation."

Ning Zhiwei pouted, "You don't care about it?"

Ning Qishao was helpless. "By the time I found out, it was too late. She seemed to be possessed and wouldn't listen at all. Most importantly, I found out that there was a spy in the Ning family army, led by the Third Madam. In order to prevent them from doing anything desperate and to attract more evil spirits, I kept it to myself."

Ning Zhiwei's face changed several times. The imperial court had always been on guard against the Ning family army, so it was normal for some sand to seep in.

"That's right. She can't do anything by herself. I just don't know when did she become an insider of the imperial court?"

Ning Qishao reminded him, "Is there a possibility that it was like this from the beginning?"

Ning Zhiwei's face changed several times. This was entirely possible. How else could one get access to core information better than marrying into the Ning family?

This marriage should have been arranged by the late emperor. It has been more than 20 years.

"damn thing."

I don't know whether he was scolding the suspicious late emperor or the third wife who acted as an accomplice.

Ning Qishao pulled over a piece of uncut rice paper, picked up a brush and wrote down a few names.

"These people all have problems, you will handle them next."

Ning Zhiwei took it and looked at it, frowning slightly. There were her grandfather's guards and her uncle's confidants, all of whom were left behind by her to guard outside the Yuguan Gate.

Ning Qishao said softly, "However, if you don't want to start a rebellion now, I suggest not to deal with the Third Madam right away, lest the court become suspicious. It is better to use her to convey wrong information to the court."

At this moment, he no longer had the dejection of the day, and seemed to be still the brave and resourceful young general.

Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but said, "Seventh Brother, come and help me."

Ning Qishao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How can I help you like this? Sister, I can't go to the battlefield."

Ning Zhiwei didn't expect him to go to the battlefield. Swords have no eyes. He still needed to support the Ning family. Before the next generation grew up, his role was too important.

However, she will no longer be able to take care of the Ning family in the future.

"If you can't get in, then you can't get in. You can be a logistics officer, a local official, an investigator, an inspector, or a city affairs officer. The civil service system is so short of people. I'm trying to trick people into coming here."

Ning Qi looked at his legs and sighed silently, "There's no rush now. Don't worry about the women of the Ning family. I will take care of them. Just do your big thing without worry. Brother Qi will always support you."

"The imperial court will not let our Ning family go. If we don't rebel, we will die. So, we rebel. The imperial court forces us to do so. I also believe that you can bring peace and prosperity to the world. My sister, you have had great ambitions since you were young."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were red, "Seventh Brother."

Ning Qishao patted her shoulder and said, "I don't think grandfather and the others will blame you."

“By the way, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict also gave me a secret edict.” Young Master Ning pulled out a secret edict from his sleeve and handed it over.

When Ning Zhiwei opened it, he saw that it was an order ordering him to secretly kill Ning Zhiwei after Ning Zhiwei successfully quelled the rebellion, and it was also stamped with the imperial seal.

She was so angry that she threw the secret decree to the ground and stepped on it hard, "You dog emperor, it's not that quick to kill the donkey after it has done its job."

She rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, it seems that we still have to put on a big show on your wedding day."

"it is good."
