Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat. No way?

Rong Jing's cold voice sounded, "I like you like a sister, I don't want anything to happen to you."

Sister? Ning Zhiwei stared at his handsome face with a cold and indifferent look and a dark color in her eyes.

He is still the cold and self-reliant Dali Temple Minister Rong Jing, who has experienced many things and is not moved by any external things.

Well, I was overthinking. Who was Rong Jing, the Dali Temple Minister? He was famous for not being interested in women. It was said that he rejected all the marriage proposals, saying that he had no interest in romance and only had lofty ideals.

Many daughters of powerful and noble families who were rejected by him had a mixture of love and hate for him.

It was all because Caixia was too beautiful, which dazzled her.

She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and touched her nose, "Don't worry, I know my limits. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the adults for help. You...will help me, right?"

Rong Jing looked at her deeply, pursed his lips, and said, "Yes."

"Thank you, Lord Rong, you are such a good person." Ning Zhiwei's eyebrows were curved, and her smile was bright and brilliant, so beautiful that it was beyond words.

She moved closer to Rong Jing and muttered to herself for a long time.

The two of them were too close, and even though Rong Jing didn't dare to look at her face, he could still smell the faint fragrance on her body, and his heart beat like a drum for a moment.

"Boom, boom, boom." Each hit against my chest seemed like it was going to jump out.

He clenched his teeth, forbearing and restraining himself.

"I'm leaving now. See you next time." Ning Zhiwei waved casually, looking free and easy.

Watching her disappear in the rosy clouds in the sky, Rong Jing, who was standing with his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes slightly, and his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, the attendant's weak voice rang out, "Sir, where are you...going now? Home?"

He looked reluctant and indescribably confused.

Others may not know, but as a follower, how could I not notice that something is wrong with the adults?

"Enter the palace." Rong Jing brushed his sleeves. His slender palms were bleeding from being pinched by his nails, but he seemed not to feel the pain and his steps became faster and faster.

As dusk fell, the Qianming Palace was brightly lit. The emperor put down the memorial and rubbed his brow.

The eunuch brought over a tray with more than a dozen green cards neatly arranged.

The emperor casually glanced through it and picked up the imperial concubine's green card, "This is it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice reporting.

"Your Majesty, Lord Rong requests an audience."

Those who can enter and leave the palace freely at this time are all the emperor's trusted and beloved generals.

The emperor raised an eyebrow, "Announce."

As soon as Rong Jing came in, he bowed and greeted as usual, with a calm expression.

The emperor took a look and asked with interest, "I heard that you had dinner with Ning Zhiwei?"

One is a loner minister, the other is a willful and capricious girl. These two people don't match in any way and are not of the same kind.

However, for some unknown reason, I went to Phoenix Tower to have dinner.

Rong Jing was not surprised at all that his whereabouts were reported to the emperor so quickly, and his expression was extremely calm.

"Your Majesty, we did have dinner together at Phoenix Tower. There was a reason for this. I have something to report."

There must be something important going on when he enters the palace at night. The emperor put aside his tentative thoughts for the moment and said, "Speak."

Rong Jing spoke with a bang, "First of all, there is a Wen Jin in every room of the Phoenix Tower, and the princes are frequent guests. The turnover of the female waiters in the Phoenix Tower is very fast, and the previous ones have all entered the backyards of the powerful families."

The emperor's expression suddenly changed, "Are you sure?"

These pieces of information put together made him feel frightened.

Although Phoenix Tower is the property of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it is closely involved with the palace, and even the Empress Dowager's family is involved.

No wonder Rong Jing entered the palace overnight.

"I'm sure." Rong Jing continued as if he couldn't see it, "The second thing is that Princess Jingning asked me to pass on a memorial."

He took out a memorial from his arms and presented it with both hands.

The emperor's eyes were full of scrutiny, but Rong Jing remained steady, his expression unchanged.

"How did she ask you to move?"

Rong Jing bowed without changing his posture. "She said that this concerns the health of the Holy Saint and the safety of the heir. I would rather believe it than not believe it. I dare not neglect it."

The emperor's eyebrows jumped, "Bring it here."

Ning Zhiwei's memorial was too straightforward, and it was directed at the Imperial Medical Bureau. He asked, "If they treat our Ning family like this today, how will they treat the impoverished royal family in the future?"

Some imperial physicians watch patients die without saving them, and have no medical ethics or compassion. Their superb medical skills have become weapons to harm people.

Even if he doesn't care about these, the emperor should still be wary of the possibility that the imperial physicians are bribed and do improper things in the palace, such as harming the fetuses in the concubines' wombs and causing miscarriages.

The emperor's mouth twitched. Is this related to the health of the emperor? The safety of the heir? She knows how to put blame on others, but it seems to be okay.

"She is so petty and vindictive. When the imperial physician did not stand on her side, she started to retaliate."

Having said that, some of the words still went to his heart. The emperor was a suspicious person and had decided to carry out a secret purge.

"However, she specifically singled out Imperial Physician Li and the hospital envoy for praise, which shows that she clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment."

Imperial Doctor Li had treated the Ning family before, but he was not on duty today and was not at the scene.

Rong Jing just listened quietly without expressing any opinion.

"The third thing is that Princess Jingning spent three hundred taels to hire ten detectives from the Dali Temple to help escort Ning Wenyin and her group back to the villa."

You can earn thirty taels of silver in two days and one night, so the detectives all rushed to go.

These people are experienced and local bosses, and the Dali Temple is behind them. Who would be so blind as to bump into them?

The emperor was speechless. Her brain was different from others.

"She's not going back? Where will she live?"

Rong Jing spoke in a flat tone, like a wooden man without any emotion, "The fourth thing is that she asked me to tell the emperor that we will camp at the side gate of Furong Garden outside the city for the next few nights."

emperor:……

What just happened didn't even come to his attention yet.

"Is she so impatient?" Her eating manner was so ugly. It's a pity that the imperial sister still admired her so much.

What could Rong Jing say? He just stated the facts, "Some people heard that the main camping in Jingning County was in Furong Garden, so they brought their quilts and went there to join in the fun."

"Bring quilts? They want to camp too? How can this be? Furong Garden is not a vegetable garden." The emperor was stunned. This was outrageous! Are they bored?

Every time Ning Zhiwei appears, there will be chaos and the situation becomes out of control.

"Close the city gates at Youshi, they can't get back." Rong Jing's voice was particularly calm and composed.

The emperor stared at his face and asked suddenly, "What do you think of Ning Zhiwei?"

Facing the king's scrutinizing gaze, Rong Jing said without hesitation, "Smart, protective, and a little rebellious in nature."

Three labels, just right.

The emperor knew this minister's character very well. He was cold and inhuman, but he ate with Ning Zhiwei without any hesitation.

Even if there was a reason, he couldn't help but think too much, and asked with a complicated look, "Are you fond of her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became frozen, and the eunuch on the side paused for breath.

Here comes the proposition.
