Liang Yuewu thought about it and realized that she had indeed heard some rumors.

Then think back to when Ning'er was caught eavesdropping on their conversation, how she cleverly avoided being killed, and how she used Feng Ke to escape from under her nose. Now she's thriving in Xiyuan Palace.

Liang Yuewu suddenly chuckled: "This Ning'er is indeed quite resourceful."

“That’s right, I’ve long suspected that Ning’er is no ordinary person,” Xiangyun chimed in.

"Go." Liang Yuewu raised her finger. "Go and fetch Ning'er for me."

"Empress, what are you doing?"

“She knew things she shouldn’t have known, and she should have died long ago. I have been merciful and let her live for so many more years. Now it’s time to get rid of her.”

Xiangyun was startled by the murderous intent that flashed in Liang Yuewu's eyes.

She knew that since her miscarriage, her mistress had become increasingly irritable, and would lash out at the slightest thing that displeased her, and would also take care of anyone she didn't like.

It seems that Ning'er is in for some bad luck.

"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you going yet?"

Xiangyun snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "Yes, this servant will go right away."

Qi Ning was alerted by the system long before Xiang Yun arrived at Xi Yuan Palace.

"Tsk, Liang Yuewu has been like a mad dog since her miscarriage, biting anyone she sees. Even though I haven't shown up in front of her recently, she still remembers me."

“Host, this is all Xiangyun’s fault. She mentioned you to Liang Yuewu before, saying that you and Feng Ke were getting along well and suspected that you seduced Feng Ke.”

Qi Ning rolled her eyes: "Xiang Yun is also seriously ill. No wonder she is Liang Yuewu's maid."

Knowing that Xiangyun would be arriving soon, Qi Ning summoned a young eunuch.

The young eunuch was named Xiao Luzi. Qi Ning had dealt with him quite a bit over the years and knew that he was clever.

Xiao Luzi approached Qi Ning and asked, "Sister Ning'er, what are your orders?"

Qi Ning casually said, "The Second Prince has gone to the training ground and will surely be covered in sweat. When he comes back, he may catch a cold if he is exposed to the cold wind. Send a cloak to the Second Prince and have Eunuch Ji Qing tell him to come back early and not to overwork himself."

"Yes, this servant understands." Xiao Luzi immediately replied.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get a cloak."

Qi Ning timed it perfectly. She had barely finished speaking and hadn't even turned around to get her cloak from the inner hall when she heard Xiang Yun's voice.

"Ning'er, are you busy? Did I come at an inopportune time?"

Qi Ning looked over at the sound and, sure enough, saw Xiang Yun stride in with her nose in the air and a menacing air.

"Sister Xiangyun, what brings you here?" Qi Ning smiled faintly.

"Her Majesty the Empress wishes to see you. Please come with me to Jingyang Palace."

"Does Her Majesty the Empress wish to see me?" Qi Ning feigned ignorance.

"Sister Xiangyun, may I ask what Her Majesty the Empress wants to see me about? Is it about the Second Prince?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just come with me."

Xiangyun's tone was somewhat impatient, and Xiaoluzi keenly sensed that this Aunt Xiangyun seemed to have come with ill intentions.

"So you're in such a hurry? Sister Xiangyun, please wait a moment. I have something to tell this servant."

Qi Ning glanced at Xiao Luzi beside her and gave him a wink: "Her Majesty the Empress is in a hurry to see me. Go in and get it yourself. The cloak is on the small couch in the inner hall."

"Yes," Xiao Luzi replied.

After giving her instructions, Qi Ning looked at Xiang Yun and said, "Sister Xiang Yun, let's go."

Xiangyun gave a lukewarm snort and then led Qi Ning to Jingyang Palace.
