Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 9 Let's Hurt Each Other

Ning Zhiwei sat up and stuffed the information into the drawer. "Bring them over here."

Dali Temple Minister Rong Jing and Marquis Dingyuan walked in side by side. Rong Jing was tall and slender, noble and elegant, with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes slightly raised, but his eyes revealed a distant look that kept people at a distance.

Marquis Dingyuan had a good-looking appearance, and his noble birth and the influence of power made him very imposing.

As soon as the two came in, they looked at the girl by the window. She was too thin to fit in her clothes, with a slender waist that seemed too thin to be held in one hand. Her long, jet-black hair was braided and hung on one side. She wore no makeup and was as pretty as a lotus bud about to bloom.

She did not stand up to salute, but nodded slightly, "My injury has not healed yet, so I cannot greet you two adults. Please forgive me."

She was graceful, neither humble nor arrogant, gentle and polite, with the dignified and calm demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Rong Jing waved his hand and went straight to the point. He simply stated his purpose, which was to ask about the case.

Marquis Dingyuan looked at Ning Zhiwei silently from the side, his eyes extremely complicated, as if he was looking at someone through her, with both nostalgia and disgust.

Ning Zhiwei sneered in his heart when he saw this. It is said that the emperor is a stingy creature. Look, he has returned the favor immediately.

It is reasonable for the Dali Temple Minister Rong Jing to come to investigate the case. As for Dingyuan Hou, the deputy commander of the Zuoye Army, which is affiliated with the Beijing Camp and is responsible for defending the capital's army, when did he also get involved in the investigation?

I just want to disgust her...

Ning Zhiwei told him everything he knew, including the journey there and back, the Baishuitan Massacre, and recreated the scene at that time. His eyes became red when he spoke of the emotional parts.

Rong Jing sighed silently. The commander of the Ning family army would rather die than surrender and died on the battlefield. He lived up to the reputation of a loyal hero of the Ning family.

"Miss Ning Wu, you had a nightmare and were disturbed. You had a premonition that something was going to happen to General Ning, so you turned back to the border, right?"

All these traces can be found. Ning Zhiwei nodded frankly, "Yes, I believe that there is a connection between relatives. I have a very deep relationship with several generals of the Ning family."

Rong Jing did not comment, but kept recording with a brush, "General Ning was killed, and General Ning Guangzhi and his entourage were ambushed at Baishui Beach. Did you also dream about this?"

Ning Zhiwei had already reviewed the situation, pondered it over and over again, and filled in all possible loopholes.

"Of course not. The distance between Baishuitan and Baicheng is fifty miles. We have to pass Baishuitan to reach Baicheng where the Ning family army is stationed. That night, we heard the sound of killing from a distance, and the smell of blood was overwhelming..."

She sighed softly, her face gloomy. "After the incident, we rushed to White City to warn the police, but all the city gates were closed and martial law was in place. It took some twists and turns to hear the hidden truth from my grandfather's personal guards."

She glanced at Shaoyao, and Shaoyao carefully took out the clothes.

"This was a hidden arrow that attacked my grandfather from behind. The arrowhead was coated with a poison called Cangdan, which is a poison used exclusively by the imperial family of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Rong Jing's face changed slightly and he took the evidence carefully. The poison of the Great Jin royal family was used on the border commander of the Great Qi. What does this mean?

Some things are chilling when you think about them carefully.

"Anything else you want to add?"

Ning Zhiwei hesitated to speak, "This... these will all be presented, right?"

Rong Jing saw that she had some concerns and had a bad feeling, but he still said, "Yes, just tell me, the emperor will make the decision."

Ning Zhiwei frowned slightly, looking very distressed, "Prince Yigil said before he died that it was the prince of Daqi who betrayed the Ning family army..."

Let's hurt each other, no one will have an easy time.

Before he could finish his words, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Marquis Dingyuan's heart skipped a beat and his face was filled with fear, as if the sky was about to fall.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are accusing the prince of murdering his entire clan."

Why did he have to hear this? Why did he come all this way?

Ning Zhiwei looked puzzled. "I am just repeating Prince Yigil's words. As for whether it is true or not, it is of course up to the wise and powerful emperor and the officials to find out."

"Why is Marquis Dingyuan so excited? Could it be that... your family is also involved?"

In the previous life, Marquis Dingyuan secretly took advantage of her misfortune and took advantage of her most vulnerable moment to use family affection to win her over, sucking her out of her bones and marrow, squeezing out every last drop of her value, paving the way for his precious daughter to rise to fame...

Dingyuan Hou had only one thought in mind, which was to shut her up. "You are talking nonsense and slandering my Dingyuan Hou Mansion. You will bear the consequences at your own risk."

The girl blinked her long eyelashes, her snow-white face looked very innocent. "Bold assumptions and careful verification are the principles of handling cases, Lord Rong, am I right?"

"Ning Zhiwei, you bastard." Dingyuan Hou gritted his teeth in anger, his face flushed, and glared at the girl in front of him. She must have done it on purpose!

She knew who he was and deliberately set a trap for him!

A cold voice sounded, "My Lord, you are just cooperating."

It was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, and Marquis Dingyuan became more sober. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to resist the urge to curse.

This damn girl is just like that tactless woman, born to cause trouble for him.

Rong Jing asked a lot of questions. Facing his repeated questioning, Ning Zhiwei answered patiently, calmly and logically.

Suddenly, Rong Jing asked, "By the way, have you seen the military talisman?"

He stared at Ning Zhiwei's face, and Ning Zhiwei was stunned. "What military token? The military token of the Ning family army? It should be in the hands of my grandfather, but now it may have fallen into the hands of the traitor..."

She sighed, feeling lost, her expression was natural and sincere, without anything wrong.

Rong Jing looked at her deeply, his eyes flickering.

"That's all right, bye."

"Wait a moment." Ning Zhiwei stopped them, "Sir Rong, I have prepared a gift for the emperor. Please present it on your behalf. Just say that it is a gift from our Ning family for the emperor's birthday. We wish the emperor a long life in advance."

She raised her hand, and Shaoyao came over with a gift box in both hands.

She was too calm and never looked directly at Marquis Dingyuan. Marquis Dingyuan suddenly became angry and said, "Humph, I despise flatterers the most in my life."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes narrowed slightly, it was so funny, who was the most shameless bastard? The things he did that were shameful really crossed the bottom line of humanity.

How did her mother die? Under what circumstances did she change her surname to Ning? Did she really think she didn't know?

After so many years, the old man is still alive.

She looked over and smiled faintly, "Marquis Dingyuan, please check if there are any contraband items."

Anything sent to the emperor needs to go through layers of inspection, which is also within the scope of Dingyuan Hou's duties.

Dingyuan Hou naturally had no choice but to take the gift box and casually opened the lid. The scene that came into his eyes frightened him so much that he almost fainted, "Ahhhh."

The gift box fell to the ground, and the hideous head inside rolled to his feet, frightening him to death. He stepped back repeatedly, shouting angrily, "Evil girl."
