Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

A clear voice sounded, "Jin'er, didn't you say you lost a token last time? Did you find it back? Where did you find it?"

It was the Prince Consort Su Haozhi, and he showed up at the right time.

Su Mingjin said in a dry voice, "Qingluo Villa."

Su Haozhi was shocked. He looked at the token and then at Ning Zhiwei. "Jingning County Lady, the feud between you and Jin'er is known to everyone. I think the villain took advantage of this and framed Jin'er."

"Jin'er is the only child of the princess and I. He has been spoiled since he was young and doesn't know how dangerous the world is. This is a good lesson for him. Let him be more careful in the future."

"I would like to thank Princess Jingning for this. Please accept my greeting."

I have to say that he is an extremely powerful character. With just a few words, he cleared the matter up completely and also gained a lot of goodwill.

If Ning Zhiwei hadn't known his background, she would have been deceived. She slightly moved aside to avoid him, "No, no, the Prince Consort is not what I imagined."

Su Haozhi looked at Ning Zhiwei calmly. The girl had a beautiful appearance, noble temperament, and a pair of clear black grape-like eyes.

However, she is so difficult to deal with that Jin'er is obviously no match for her.

With such an enemy around, they, father and son, are destined to have no peace.

She must be eliminated.

At this moment, the murderous intent burned like a raging flame.

However, his face showed no sign of it, and he was warm and calm. "What's the difference?"

Ning Zhiwei was also looking at him. He was indeed the most handsome man in the past. Even in his middle age, he was still as handsome as the breeze and the moon, with extraordinary bearing, and his elegant and charming temperament was extremely outstanding.

No wonder he was able to charm the eldest princess back then.

"Everyone says that you are self-righteous, arrogant, and look down on others, but I think you are quite humble."

Everyone: ...How can you talk like that? Illiterate!

The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Ning Zhiwei, you should read more books."

Those who grew up in the border areas did not receive any systematic education?

Su Haozhi's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, smiling tolerantly like an elder, gentle as jade.

At this moment, a servant came running over and said, "Oh no! Madam Zeng committed suicide by taking poison. She also left a suicide note, accusing Princess Jingning of cursing the eldest princess to death..."

Everyone's face turned pale when they heard the voice. Ning Zhiwei grabbed the servant's arm and asked coldly, "Is he dead?"

The servant shuddered, "No, he was rescued."

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "People who really want to die will only die silently, and there will be no possibility of redemption."

"Your Majesty, let me confront her. This old woman actually dared to frame me and ruin my reputation. She is extremely despicable."

Su Mingjin shouted angrily, "Jingning County Lady, she has just been rescued and is still weak. Why don't you show any sympathy to the old lady?"

Ning Zhiwei's momentum was stronger than his, and even more fierce. "It's only right to be compassionate to your family. Who is she? Forgiving your enemies is something that saints do, but I'm just an ordinary mortal. Whoever harms me, I will kill him. I will repay you in kind."

She just holds a grudge like that, nothing wrong with that.

The emperor knew her character very well. The more cruel she was, the more it proved that she had no guilty conscience.

So the question is, is Aunt Zeng crying "stop thief"? Why?

"Drag the man in."

Delay? Su Mingjin's heart tightened. Oops, Ning Zhiwei had successfully aroused the emperor's suspicion.

Madam Zeng was covered in blood and looked scary. As soon as she came in, she cursed, "Ning Zhiwei, it's you. You are the one who harmed the princess. You will get your comeuppance."

"How did I hurt her?"

Madam Zeng was furious. "You forced me to swear, and now it has come true. I am sorry to my master, and I will die to atone for my sin."

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly and pointed at a palace servant, "Come, tell the emperor, what happened just now?"

In front of so many people, the palace maid couldn't lie and could only tell about the conflict between the two of them.

The emperor frowned, and became more and more confused. "That is to say, Madam Zeng lied."

Ning Zhiwei bent down slightly, approached Madam Zeng, and chuckled, "Madam Zeng, don't worry, your real master will soon die as promised, don't worry."

She smiled sweetly, and Aunt Zeng looked as if she had seen a devil, her face as pale as paper.

The emperor's eyes narrowed, "Real lord? What do you mean?"

Ning Zhiwei stood up straight and kicked Madam Zeng to the ground violently.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess lives in the deep palace. How could the remnants of the previous royal family reach out to her? There is only one possibility, there is a traitor around her."

"Or maybe it was a spy from the beginning, and was sent to the princess in a planned way."

"Why did Madam Zeng, who suddenly wanted to commit suicide but failed, choose this critical moment?"

With just a few words, she directed her criticism at Matron Zeng.

The emperor had long suspected the people around the eldest princess. Apart from her closest relatives, who else could have drugged her?

Nanny Zeng has followed the eldest princess since she was a child and is the most trusted one. She is the one who always takes care of things on the princess's behalf, so she has all the conditions to do it.

The eldest princess has a spy around her, what about him? What about the princes and princesses?

He shuddered, "Torture her, don't let her die."

Su Mingjin took a deep breath. It was over. She was dead.

He subconsciously looked to his father for help. Su Haozhi cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask..."

Before he could finish, Ning Zhiwei interrupted, "Your Majesty, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Her expression was solemn and her tone was extremely serious, which made the emperor inexplicably think of the day when the drum was struck to report the incident. This was a serious matter.

"Everyone, get out. Xiao Linfeng, Rong Jing, the two of you stay."

Su Haozhi's words were all stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down, making him feel uncomfortable.

What made him even more worried was that the emperor had become suspicious of them father and son.

He worked hard for decades, but everything went haywire because of Ning Zhiwei's sudden appearance.

Ning Zhiwei, you must kill her!

After everyone left, Ning Zhiwei got straight to the point, "Your Majesty, look at this token."

The emperor took a closer look. Wasn't this Su Mingjin's token? "What's the problem?"

Ning Zhiwei pointed at the pattern on the token and said, "Why do the patterns on these four corners look like the King Protea when put together?"

There are patterns on all four corners, which look like auspicious clouds symbolizing wealth and good fortune, but when put together, they are another pattern.

The emperor quickly raised the token to his eyes, wishing he could enlarge it to see it, "Protea? The national flower of the previous dynasty?"

The imperial flower is also on the royal emblem of the Jiang Dynasty.

How could it possibly appear on Su Mingjin's token?

He is a member of the royal family and the eldest princess's only son!

For a moment, he was frightened and confused.

Ning Zhiwei blinked her eyes. "I haven't seen it. When the Jiang Dynasty fell, the emperor flower was burned in a fire, and it has been extinct since then."

"There is an ancient book that mentions the Protea. It looks a bit like it to me, but it doesn't make sense. He is the son of the eldest princess."

The emperor's face looked extremely bad. Su Mingjin was not only the eldest princess's son, but also Su Haozhi's son.

However, the eldest princess was drugged. As her closest companion, is Su Haozhi really innocent?

Xiao Linfeng's heart was in turmoil. After tossing and turning for a long time, this must be Ning Zhiwei's ultimate goal.

She really is...intelligent! And cruel! She kills without shedding blood!

There was something even more cruel. Ning Zhiwei opened her mouth and blurted out something that made the emperor tremble with fear...
