Chapter 168 The Queen Mother Asks Her to Be a Gunman
As dusk fell, a string of palace lanterns were lit on both sides of the corridor of the Cining Palace, illuminating the outer halls brightly.
The Queen Mother held the teacup and drank it calmly, and only put it down after a while.
"You mean, Shen Mingde's wife is still alive?"
The Ninth Princess was filled with emotions, but she didn't show any of them on her face and nodded.
"It's true."
The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow, but her fingers did not stop scratching the cat.
"That's interesting."
The huge palace was filled with a faint tranquility. The Queen Mother did not continue, and the Ninth Princess did not speak either.
Although she was anxious to bring Shen Nanqiao down, she still had some patience.
"So, tell me, did Madam Pingyang know about this before, or didn't she?"
The Ninth Princess' heart was moved, but she immediately suppressed her excitement.
"No matter if she knew about it before or not, at least she knows it now." She paused and glanced at the Queen Mother's face. "This is a crime of deceiving the emperor with solid evidence, right?"
The death of a woman of noble birth should be reported, whether she is included in the ancestral tomb or posthumously conferred a title, it should all be recorded.
When Mrs. Shen passed away, her household registration was cancelled according to the procedures. In other words, there was no such person as Lin Sutang in the world anymore.
But now she has come back to life. No matter what the reason is, the relatives who knew about it but did not report it should be convicted.
The Queen Mother did not answer, but just reached out and scratched the chin of her pet cat.
The Ninth Princess was a little unsure, so she considered it again.
"The Crown Prince has been having a hot affair with the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo these days. I heard that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is already selecting a date and is preparing to decide on the Crown Princess."
The Queen Mother still looked calm.
The Ninth Princess's back stiffened slightly. This nominal mother-in-law had never been easy to get along with. She had never seen through her since she was young.
Over the years, she has been guarding the border with the Ninth Prince. Although they have been in contact, she knows that it is just a relationship of mutual benefit.
Once the Crown Prince is out of control, the Ninth Prince will be the perfect candidate for the Queen Mother.
The Crown Prince went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion that day, and the Queen Mother found out about it that evening. Surprisingly, she had no intention of venting her anger on him or confronting Emperor Ming.
He has not mentioned this matter at all in the past two days, and it seems that he has given up the plan to win over the Crown Prince through the Crown Princess.
The Ninth Princess did not dare to ask in detail. After all, she was having a hard time in the palace right now.
"What do you think of the prince?" The Queen Mother suddenly had an idea.
The Ninth Princess woke up as if from a dream. She knew that she couldn't make any mistakes at this time.
"The prince is a sincere man, and extremely intelligent, but..."
The Queen Mother sneered and glanced at her.
"But it's easy to die young if you are too smart. I'm afraid you are not destined to live a long life."
The Ninth Princess exhaled slowly, and when she looked at the Queen Mother again, there was no trace of depth in her eyes.
"Fate is determined by heaven, and cannot be disputed. All mortals can do is to do their best." She reached out to add some tea to the empress dowager's half-empty cup. "The prince has a close personal relationship with the factory official and regards him as his confidant. Even if he lives a long life, what does it matter?"
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she turned her head to glance at the Ninth Princess beside her.
"So what you mean is, take the initiative and use this incident with Madam Shen to bring Ning Su down?"
The Ninth Princess lowered her head slightly, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
"The Queen Mother is wise. Ning Changchen was a lonely man in the past, and it is difficult to find a weak spot. Now that my wife has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, he, as her husband, naturally cannot escape the blame..."
The Queen Mother said nothing, and slowly stopped playing with the cat.
"Have you seen the resurrected Madam Shen?"
The Ninth Princess paused slightly.
"Not yet. I heard that he is in the backyard of Songchangxuan."
The Queen Mother shook her head at her with a very slight movement and said meaningfully.
"Hearing is believing. I think these two days are suitable for visiting friends. You might as well go to Songchangxuan for a walk."
The Ninth Princess frowned secretly, as this offending task fell on her head again.
The Queen Mother seemed to see through her thoughts and sneered.
"What? You don't want to break up with Ning Su?"
The Ninth Princess's cheeks flushed slightly and she stood up respectfully.
"I will go to Songchangxuan today."
When Shen Nanqiao received the letter, the Ninth Princess was already waiting in the reception hall of Song Changxuan. She was not surprised by this and told Madam Liu to invite the person into the small study.
It's ironic that after all these years of knowing each other, this is her first time entering Ning Su's study. It's impossible for her not to feel jealous at all.
Why was it that after all her efforts for so many years, she, Shen Nanqiao, could capture Ning Su's heart as soon as she appeared?
How is she inferior to others?
As he was thinking about it, he entered the small study.
But Shen Nanqiao was seen sitting behind the desk, which was obviously where Ning Su usually sat.
The bitterness in the Ninth Princess' heart became more and more obvious.
Shen Nanqiao wore a goose yellow bright satin jacket today, and a moon-white long skirt with flowers and butterflies. She looked young and pretty. Even the Ninth Princess had to admit that she had a charming face.
"The Ninth Princess is here with such a fierce attitude, is she here to cause trouble?" Shen Nanqiao smiled innocently, but the words she said were particularly shocking, "Let me guess, are you here to look for someone?"
