Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The two men were tied up and lying on the ground like dogs, looking very miserable.

Xie Tongcheng's side was anxious, worried, and confused.

This was searched out from the east wing of a villager's house in front of them.

Wei Zhongliang's side was very proud, like a general who had won a battle.

He caught hold of the evidence and asked loudly, "Jingning County Lady, what crime should you be charged with for harboring a criminal?"

Ning Zhiwei walked up to the imperial prisoner with an indifferent expression, but his eyes contained a deep coldness.

"Who are you? Why did you come to my Qingluo Villa?"

The man looked determined to do whatever it took, "Master, don't worry, we will keep this secret even if we die."

Wei Zhongliang's eyes were filled with satisfaction. "Princess Jingning, there are witnesses and evidence. You can't argue."

She destroyed his hands, so she would pave the way with the lives of thousands of people in the Ning family and use this merit to buy him a bright future.

Ning Zhiwei knew that this was a trap set for her. Who hated her so much?

She has offended too many people.

"Punish them."

Wei Zhongliang's face changed and he shouted, "You want to kill people to silence them."

"Princess Jingning, just surrender. The emperor might spare your life in consideration of the Ning family's contributions...ah."

His knee was stabbed by a sword, and the severe pain made him unable to stand, and he knelt down in front of Ning Zhiwei involuntarily.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were full of frost. "Tie them all up. No one is allowed to step out of Qingluo Villa today."

"Everyone listen up. From now on, the villa is sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Entering the first level combat readiness state, all villagers are on standby at any time."

"Yes."

Commands were issued one after another, and the villagers took action.

No one questioned, only silent obedience.

The direction her sword was pointing was the Ning family's target.

It was like a bolt from the blue that struck the officials on their heads, and they all turned pale with fright.

It’s over, the Ning family is going to rebel!

They have all been involved. Can they get out alive?

Xie Tongcheng was angry and anxious, with cold sweat on his forehead, "Jingning County Lady, don't be impulsive, don't fall into the trap."

Wei Zhongliang never expected that things would develop like this. Ning Zhiwei was so tough and started fighting at the slightest disagreement.

His plan was completely disrupted, and he couldn't help but panic, "You are trying to rebel!"

Ning Zhiwei pointed at the Jinyiwei of Zhennan Fusi and looked at them one by one.

"Go and bring all the families of these people here. If anything happens to me, kill them all, leaving no one alive, and bury them all with me."

The murderous words made these people's legs go weak, their bodies trembled, and deep regret rose in their hearts.

They are seeking wealth and a future, not risking the lives of their entire family.

Wei Zhongliang's pupils suddenly dilated, and he was filled with shock and anger, "Ning Zhiwei, how dare you!"

Why didn't she beg for mercy like ordinary people?

Ning Zhiwei ignored him. The knife would only hurt if it cut herself. When they were plotting against her, did they think about the consequences of failure?

She turned and looked at the county magistrate and other local officials and bowed.

"Mr. Qian, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. Please stay as my guest for a while. I will guarantee your personal safety and will send you away after this is over."

County Magistrate Qian trembled. Could he say no? Could he really leave?

"Princess Jingning, please don't be impulsive."

Even if we take a step back, Qingluo Villa has no capital to rebel now. It has no money, no weapons, and no army.

Hundreds of thousands of defenders in the capital could easily wipe them out.

Ning Zhiwei looked calm, but the words he said were extremely crazy, "I don't want to rebel, but someone won't let me go. I have to retreat again and again, and there is no more room for retreat, so let's die together."

She said the most decisive words, took a gamble, and scared everyone.

Xie Tongcheng's expression also changed. "Jingning County Lady, we can discuss this matter. Why don't you let us out first? I will go to the emperor to plead our case."

Although it is of no use.

Ning Zhiwei looked apologetic, "Thank you, sir. Please be my witnesses. Everything I did was just to protect myself. I will take all the responsibility."

Xie Tongcheng was in an extremely complicated mood and sighed silently. How did things come to this?

She is a very good person, but unfortunately, some people can't tolerate her.

She was forced into a desperate situation. This was an elaborately designed dead end, and he couldn't break it no matter how hard he tried.

Royal Palace

Qinglu Palace is the bedroom of Concubine Li. She is a beauty, gave birth to the eldest princess and the fourth prince, and is deeply favored by the emperor.

The eldest princess is the first daughter, so she is naturally the most favored by the emperor and can get whatever she wants.

At this moment, she pulled the emperor's arm and acted coquettishly, "Father, can't Furong Garden be given to me? I like it so much."

The emperor shook his head slightly, "That already belongs to Princess Jingning."

The eldest princess pouted and said, "Let her go in. It's a honor for her to be favored by the royal family."

If they are sensible, the royal gardens will return the property to the royal family.

She, a princess of the royal family, didn't have such a good garden, and she was jealous.

She didn't dare to argue with her aunt, but she was just a servant, so it was no problem.

In her father's eyes, his daughter was adorable no matter how unreasonable she was. The emperor just smiled and said nothing.

Others would make progress, but Ning Zhiwei, with her stubborn temper, wouldn't. She is an extremely selfish person who only cares about her own pleasure.

"Father, please love your daughter and give her the garden as a dowry. It belongs to the royal family. How can it fall into the hands of an outsider? Our ancestors would not agree to this."

"enough."

Concubine Li chuckled at the right time, "Wan'er, stop messing around, Your Majesty, this child just loves Hibiscus Garden too much, and she speaks without any care, please don't mind it."

"Father, father, please." The eldest princess begged in a tender voice, determined to get Furong Garden. It was not only a huge fortune, but also a unique dignity.

At this moment, the chief eunuch walked into the room and reported, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei Commander Xiao Linfeng wants to see you."

The emperor looked stern and said, "Let him in."

After Xiao Linfeng came in, he respectfully paid his respects to the Emperor, the Princess, and Concubine Li, but did not speak a word.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Li tactfully pulled her daughter away. Before leaving, the eldest princess looked at Xiao Linfeng deeply, her eyes were indescribably complicated.

There were only three people in the room, so Xiao Linfeng whispered, "Your Majesty, something happened at Qingluo Villa."

When the emperor heard that it was Ning Zhiwei's matter, he felt a headache, "What happened to her?"

Xiao Linfeng looked extremely strange, "She wants to blow up Qingluo Villa and die together with the Jinyiwei you sent to kill and burn people."

I have to say, this was a stroke of genius, it easily broke the deadlock, it was really smart.

She did not follow other people's ideas to prove her innocence, but took another approach and pointed her sword at the emperor, putting pressure on him.

The emperor couldn't believe his ears and screamed, "What? Say it again."

Xiao Linfeng presented something with both hands, "This is the memorial from the Princess of Jingning County."

"Bring it here quickly."
