Ch 329: Ning Xueqing’s Bitter Face
Great Qian Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
Ning Xueqing looked at the information in her hand, her brows tightly furrowed. If she didn’t have a bit of reason left, the paper would have been crumpled in her hands.
“How is this possible!”
“Wasn’t it said that the situation in the Eastern Border was chaotic, and the Wei State Duke’s Mansion harbored ulterior motives?”
“How could the situation in the Eastern Border stabilize in less than a month?”
Then Ning Xueqing suddenly thought of Empress Ji Ruxue’s attitude when she mentioned the Wei State Duke’s Mansion before, and a sentence she had taken as a joke at the time.
“The Wei State Duke’s Mansion is not that simple. There are some things you don’t understand, so it’s best not to do too much.”
At that time, Ning Xueqing thought that this was just Empress Ji Ruxue joking, advising her not to criticize the Wei State Duke’s Mansion anymore.
But in this situation, it was no longer a joke, but a very direct warning!
But if it was a warning, why didn’t she say it more directly?
Was she supposed to guess, or what?
Sure enough, whether it’s the previous life or this world, riddle-makers should die!
If she had made it clear earlier, how could she have said so many bad things about the Wei State Duke’s Mansion!
But when she said those words, only Empress Ji Ruxue and she herself were present, so it shouldn’t have spread, right?
Ning Xueqing glanced around guiltily, and when she saw that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief, with a sense of burying her head in the sand.
After her mood gradually calmed down, Ning Xueqing brought the information to the Imperial Study and bowed to Empress Ji Ruxue, who was working seriously:
“Your Majesty, news has come from the Eastern Border that the Brocade-Clad Guard and the Zhenyuan Army Corps have completely stabilized the situation in the Eastern Border.”
“So fast?”
Empress Ji Ruxue, who had been focused on reviewing Imperial Decrees, broke character in a second and blurted out:
“What’s going on with this Wei State Duke’s Mansion? Wasn’t he complaining about insufficient troops a while ago? How did he directly stabilize the situation now?”
Ning Xueqing: …
Some time ago, when the Eastern Border operation had just begun, Duke Mo Yunxuan of Wei State kept running to the Imperial Palace, with one meaning coming back and forth—asking for help.
It completely gave her the feeling that the Wei State Duke’s Mansion was about to collapse in the Southern Border.
Now Ning Xueqing suddenly had some understanding.
No wonder she, who was still a little wary of the strength of the Wei State Duke’s Mansion before, later became more and more obvious and unscrupulous in her slander of the Wei State Duke’s Mansion.
It turned out that this bastard Duke Mo Yunxuan deliberately showed weakness in front of her, making her think that the Wei State Duke’s Mansion was really weak!
As soon as she thought that her image in Empress Ji Ruxue’s eyes had collapsed, Ning Xueqing felt like the sky had fallen.
Her dream of being second only to one person and above ten thousand people was also shattered!
Empress Ji Ruxue glanced at the dazed Ning Xueqing, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
Of course she knew what Mo Yunxuan had come to the Imperial Palace for before—wasn’t it just to tease the little girl!
This huge Great Qian Dynasty, after experiencing the ups and downs of a year ago, it was rare for someone to dare to stroke the Wei State Duke’s Mansion’s whiskers. If she didn’t have some fun, wouldn’t she be sorry for this long life she had worked so hard to cultivate?
But looking at Ning Xueqing’s appearance, wasn’t she scared silly?
Empress Ji Ruxue raised her eyebrows and looked strangely at the distracted Ning Xueqing, secretly speculating.
“Xueqing, have the Duke of Wei come here.”
Soon Empress Ji Ruxue withdrew her gaze and casually ordered.
What’s the point of watching the show now? She’s like a blockhead, standing there for a long time without moving.
It’s better to call Mo Yunxuan over to stimulate Ning Xueqing, and the reaction at that time will be interesting!
Ehey ;-）
The corners of Empress Ji Ruxue’s mouth curled up unconsciously.
Ning Xueqing was awakened by Empress Ji Ruxue’s voice and quickly lowered her head to respond, turning around and walking towards the Wei State Duke’s Mansion.
Completely unaware of Empress Ji Ruxue’s excited eyes.
Before long, Mo Yunxuan and Ning Xueqing came to the Imperial Study together.
Mo Yunxuan naturally knew why Empress Ji Ruxue called him here at this time, and he also wanted to tease this Daughter of Destiny.
Not long ago, Mo Yunxuan casually found a reason to run to the Imperial Palace and met Ning Xueqing.
At the same time, he also obtained Ning Xueqing’s Life Script.
How should he put it?
Apart from being a bit too power-hungry, Ning Xueqing had almost no advantages.
She was able to have the treatment of a protagonist entirely because of her identity as a Daughter of Destiny, attracting all kinds of powerful men to support her.
Relying on those men around her, she moved step by step towards the peak of power, and even plotted Empress Ji Ruxue’s throne because of this.
Tsk! Quite bold.
Of course, the foundation of the imperial family could not be compared with those so-called pursuers.
Even though there were also members of the imperial family’s younger generation among those pursuers, the main combat personnel were not interested in her, this social butterfly who was loved by everyone.
She was captured in a few strokes, and then the Empress ordered her beheading on the spot.
In general, her heart was higher than the sky, but her life was thinner than paper.
Her cultivation level was not good, her wisdom was not good, and apart from being able to act pitiful, she was useless in everything else.
Even if Mo Yunxuan didn’t do anything himself, this little girl would kill herself.
So Mo Yunxuan was not in a hurry at all, but instead regarded it as a pleasure to pass the long leisure time and add a little joy to his long life journey.
“I wonder why Your Majesty has summoned your subject?”
Mo Yunxuan skillfully released a chair for himself, sat down without any restraint, and then chatted with Empress Ji Ruxue familiarly.
This scene shocked Ning Xueqing.
When she had previously instigated “black material” about the Wei State Duke’s Mansion in front of Empress Ji Ruxue, but found that it had no effect, she had thought that the status of the Wei State Duke’s Mansion and Duke of Wei in Empress Ji Ruxue’s mind was very important.
But she didn’t expect it to be so important!
In Ning Xueqing’s view, Mo Yunxuan’s current behavior was an act of disrespecting the ruler and offending his superiors.
He should be directly arrested and tried!
But Empress Ji Ruxue didn’t care at all, and even took it for granted?
Could this Duke of Wei be the Empress’s lover?
Ning Xueqing speculated maliciously.
Ning Xueqing, realizing that she seemed to have guessed the truth, had a bitter face. If the place wasn’t wrong, she would have cried on the spot.
However, what she didn’t know was that her every move was clearly seen by Empress Ji Ruxue and Mo Yunxuan.
On the surface, the two were talking about some meaningless topics, but in the dark, they had already begun to transmit sound to each other.
“Hey, Mo Yunxuan, you are the Duke of Wei of the dignified Great Qian Dynasty, but you are always thinking about bullying my maid. You are really embarrassed!”
“Come on, if you don’t agree, can I bully her? And when have I always thought about bullying your maid? Isn’t it just this time?”
“You still say that! Qing Li is my personal sword attendant, and Hong Yu has been my personal maid since I was a child. Dare you say that you haven’t bullied these two? Maybe you take them to explore the canyon dense forest and bravely climb the Twin Peaks every night!”
