Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

At Ning Mansion, Ning Zhiwei went back to her room and took a short nap. When she got up again, she felt refreshed.

She held a bowl of Tremella soup and drank it slowly, with a calm look on her face.

Rong Jing has followed the clues and arrested many people. He interrogated them one by one, and the women of the Ning family had to stand aside and listen.

Only then did they realize how many people were eyeing the Ning family.

There is no such thing as a peaceful life. Someone is blocking everything for them.

Without Ning Zhiwei's protection, the Ning family's old and young, a group of frail female members, would have been eaten up by these demons and monsters long ago.

They were protected by Ning Zhiwei, but they were not grateful and took it for granted.

Zhou was lying on the ground from beginning to end, covered in blood. She looked like she was about to die, but she had not yet breathed her last.

I have to say that these people who love to make trouble have extremely strong vitality.

The Royal Guards came back to report, "Your Majesty, Bai Zhanyang has been arrested, but something unexpected happened."

Ning Zhiwei frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

The Jinyiwei didn't dare to look up. "We wanted to feint and let Bai Zhanyang escape, so that we can follow the clues and dig out the person behind him."

The Bai family is just rich, but they don't have the ability to do such a thing. There must be a mastermind behind it.

Bai Zhanyang is just a chess piece.

"But, when he escaped, he took the village chief Tiaohua hostage."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, "Tiao Hua? How is she? Is she injured?"

She had a good impression of Cui Yanxi, who seemed weak but was actually very opinionated.

The Royal Guards were silent for a moment. "Bai Zhanyang was killed by her. He was stabbed in the back and is dying. The doctor said that his heart meridian is injured and he won't live for many days."

Otherwise, he would be required to give out the person behind the scenes, and who would be willing to save him?

Everyone: ...Oh my god, is it so fierce?

Zhou looked up suddenly, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

She was still waiting for Bai Zhanyang to rescue her.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes flashed with a smile, "Where are the people? Bring them in."

"Yes."

Bai Zhanyang was carried in, his clothes were covered with bright red blood, it was shocking to see.

However, Cui Yanxi walked in and saluted carefully, "Your Majesty, Cui Yanxi greets the Emperor."

Ning Zhiwei raised her hand, "Get up, are you injured?"

Cui Yanxi looked down at the blood stain on her sleeve, "It was Bai Zhanyang's blood, I got it there accidentally."

Ning Zhiwei asked curiously, "Did you really kill Bai Zhanyang?"

Her tone was gentle, and Cui Yanxi's uneasy heart felt much more at ease. She really didn't know whether it was the Jinyiwei who deliberately let Bai Zhanyang escape, and she didn't know whether he had done anything bad to the emperor.

"Yes, this is what happened. This bastard..."

She is articulate, speaks logically and clearly.

Rong Jing looked indifferent, but when he heard that Bai Zhanyang wanted to use the painting and Yu Ruyi to poison Ning Zhiwei, he suddenly became furious.

"You have made a good plan. You killed the emperor and let the bastard of you and Zhou take the throne. You have made two preparations."

This is too deep a thought.

Bai Zhanyang struggled to get up, his face turning even paler.

"What evil seed? Lord Rong, you can't say that. Zhou and I are innocent and have never crossed the line. Lord Rong, you are trying to eliminate dissidents and get rid of the Ning family."

Rong Jing was furious. "I underestimated you. I always thought you were just a mean person who was always scheming for personal gain. I didn't expect you to have such ambitions."

"Thirty strokes of the cane. Come, carry out the execution."

Bai Zhanyang simply threw in the towel, "I'm sure I can't stand the torture. You're trying to silence me. Your Majesty, you need to know right from wrong."

The Royal Guard took out the two items and said, "Doctor, please come and check it."

After the imperial physician examined them, he looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, Hua and Yu Ruyi have both been soaked in a secret medicine. If they are exposed to it for a long time, their health will deteriorate and it will be difficult for them to have children."

Rong Jing's face turned pale, and he had the intention to kill. "Okay, very good."

"Bai Zhanyang, you can ask Zhou to share the thirty canings with you."

Zhou shuddered all over. Bai Zhanyang didn't look at her. "We are not related at all. How can I let her share the burden?"

Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Rong Jing raised his lips slightly, "You're pretty tough. Then, let's change to another one, castration."

Bai Zhanyang's face turned pale when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it, castration? Turn him into a eunuch?

"No, no, no, you can't."

Rong Jing sneered, "Do it."

Bai Zhanyang is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of becoming a disabled person and having a hard time in the underworld.

Being a eunuch is the greatest punishment for a man. "I confess. Whatever you want to know, I'll confess right away."

Rong Jing asked calmly, "Do you have an affair with Ning?"

Bai Zhanyang closed his eyes and said, "Yes, on the way to the Northeast, we had fun every night. Although Ning looks reserved, she is actually very promiscuous."

How much affection can there be in a fleeting relationship? It's nothing but exploitation.

Zhou's face changed drastically. "Bai Zhanyang, it was you who seduced me and drugged me, so I... that happened. I didn't dare to say anything, but he used it to threaten me. If I didn't do what he wanted, he would destroy me."

Her eyes turned red with grievance, "I am the victim."

The two of them were biting each other and putting the blame on each other.

Rong Jing continued to ask, "Is Ning's child yours?"

Zhou warned coldly, "Bai Zhanyang, don't talk nonsense, it will kill people."

The imperial physician's leisurely voice sounded, "Actually, we can use blood test to identify relatives."

Rong Jing looked at Ning Zhiwei. They both knew that blood test for kinship was not very reliable.

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly, and Rong Jing ordered loudly, "Then test it."

It is mainly for the world to see. It doesn’t matter whether they believe it or not, the world believes it.

"No, I won't check...ah."

He swung the knife towards Bai Zhanyang's lower body, between his legs, "Do you want to test it?"

Bai Zhanyang was so scared that he shit his pants. The stench spread. "Test it!"

He took a bowl, picked up the child, and cut Bai Zhanyang and the child's hands to draw blood.

Under everyone's attention, the two drops of blood merged.

There was silence and silence.

Rong Jing took a look at the child. In fact, the child's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Bai Zhanyang.

Others may not be able to see it, but he has learned from a portrait artist and has also painted portraits of criminals for use in wanted posters.

"They are indeed father and son."

This scene had a huge impact on the women of the Ning family. The effect of hearing about it and seeing it with one’s own eyes were different.

"You two bastards, you bitches, you thieves and you whore, I will beat you to death."

"Go to hell, go to hell."

Rong Jing ignored the fight between the Ning family women and asked, "Bai Zhanyang, who is the mastermind behind this?"

"it's me."

Rong Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and would rather die than confess, which meant that his weakness had been discovered.

"you sure?"

"Yes." Bai Zhanyang insisted on this point.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes flashed, "Pass on my decree, the Bai family rebelled, all nine clans will be exterminated, Bai Zhanyang will be executed by slow slicing."

Bai Zhanyang's face was ashen. Killing nine clans? Not three clans? How cruel is this?

"Zhou, who colluded with the rebels and intended to rebel, shall be beheaded and the entire Zhou clan shall be exterminated."

Zhou collapsed to the ground, eyes full of despair.

The female member of the Ning family asked angrily, "Where is this evil creature?"

How much I loved you before, how much I hate you now.

This is no longer the descendants of the Ning family, but the greatest shame of the Ning family.

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "His last name is Bai."

Naturally, those within the nine clans should be executed.

Suddenly, Bai Zhanyang said, "Your Majesty, I confess, but please spare my nine clans, they are innocent."

Ning Zhiwei's mouth corners curled up slightly. Sure enough, the problem lies with these nine clans.
