"Slave..." Xiao Ningzi looked struggling. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "If the slave helps the queen to defeat the queen, will the queen really not embarrass the slave?"
Ling Ruo raised her eyebrows and said: "Although you are hateful, you are not the person I have hated for decades. There seems to be no reason for me to deal with you. Even...I can arrange for you to be a steward in the House of Internal Affairs. How about that?"
,Have you thought about it?"
Xiao Ningzi closed his eyes, clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said: "This slave is willing to obey the master's instructions, work hard and die for me!" The change of title means a change of his stance.
"Okay!" After Ling Ruo slowly uttered the word, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then said: "You have been out for a while, please go back first. From now on, you will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every three days
, I will ask Yang Hai to wait for you there."
"Come on, I excuse you." Xiao Ningzi bowed his head and left. On the way out, he passed by Sanfu who happened to come in. Sanfu frowned slightly and came in and said: "Master, are you really planning to use Xiao Ning?"
Son?"
Ling Ruo took a sip of tea and said, "I have this plan. What's wrong? Do you think it's inappropriate?"
Sanfu whispered: "As the slave said, Xiao Ningzi is very scheming. It's hard to see what he is thinking. It's better to be more careful."
Ling Ruo smiled and said nothing, but Yang Hai said: "Eunuch Fu, no matter how scheming Xiao Ningzi is, he is still a human being. Human beings have weaknesses. As long as you grasp this weakness, you are not afraid that he will not follow your orders."
Sanfu raised his eyes and said, "Oh, so you already know what Xiao Ningzi's weakness is?"
Yang Hai nodded and said: "Yes, Xiao Ningzi's biggest weakness is outside the palace. After following him for a while, I found that he loves his two siblings very much. When the master just said that he would deal with his two siblings, Eunuch Fu didn't look at it.
I saw how ugly Xiao Ningzi’s face became.”
Sanfu's face softened a little, but he still hesitated a little. He turned around and advised again: "Master, no matter what, I feel that I have to be careful about Xiao Ningzi. He may love and protect the siblings, but he may not do it for them.
What a situation."
Ling Ruo looked calmly and said: "Why do you say that?"
"My servant said that Xiao Ningzi and the Empress are the same kind of people. They only see themselves in their eyes. The Empress will sacrifice Yingge for herself, and Xiao Ningzi can do the same."
Shui Xiu disagreed and said: "That's what I said, but Xiao Ningzi's situation is different from that of the Queen. He also knows that there is no benefit in continuing to follow the Queen. Didn't he look for a way out before? Now he's here.
At this time, is it possible that he will still protect the Queen?"
Sanfu thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years. The master has finally reached this point, so you must not be careless."
Ling Ruo said with a smile that Sanfu couldn't understand: "I understand your thoughts, don't worry, I know what to do."
Let's talk about Xiao Ningzi's side. He returned to Kunning Palace all the way and hit Nala who was leaning on the couch holding a snow-white Persian cat. He said softly: "Master, Concubine Xi has taken the bait.
"
Nala's expression perked up, he sat up straight and said, "Is it true?"
"Yes, after the slave went to Chengqian Palace, she asked him to betray his master. When the slave refused, she threatened him by moving his brothers and sisters out. The slave pretended to be helpless and agreed to her request. Concubine Xi did not
Not the slightest bit suspicious.”
"Okay!" Nala put the Persian cat in her hand on the couch and sneered: "What did she tell you to do?"
Xiao Ningzi said truthfully: "No, I only ask the slave to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every three days, where Yang Hai will wait for the slave. The slave originally thought that she would let the slave explain what the master has done in these years in front of the emperor, but now it seems
Come on, it seems I have other plans."
"She won't stab me directly in front of the emperor, because as a slave, you can't accuse me of this crime at all. She should want to find someone to take the stolen goods, so that I can be truly nailed to death." Xiao Ningzi didn't wait.
After speaking, she waved her hand and said: "But these are all my guesses. What exactly will happen is still unknown. In short, you just follow her words and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every three days."
"Slave, I obey." Just as Xiao Ningzi helped Nala get up, the latter suddenly said with a half-smile: "Xiao Ningzi, will you really help Niu Hulu betray me?"
Although Nala's tone was not harsh, Xiao Ningzi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down and said: "This slave is born as the master's servant and dies as the master's ghost. I will never betray my master in this life.
Besides, Concubine Xi is insidious. Today, when she uses her slaves, she can promise all kinds of benefits. In the future, when she doesn't need her slaves, she will definitely kill people and silence her. How can the slaves trust her?"
"Finally you still have some brains." After Xiao Ningzi stood up tremblingly, Nala glanced at him and said: "Look, the person who laughs last will definitely not be Niu Hulu."
Xiao Ningzi said flatteringly from the side: "Master said that even if Concubine Xi exhausts all her traps, she will only be able to make wedding clothes for you in the end."
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. As soon as Xiao Ningzi arrived at the House of Internal Affairs, he was taken to a quiet room, where Yang Hai was drinking tea. Xiao Ningzi walked over and lowered his head and said: "I have met Eunuch Yang, I wonder what the master's orders are.
?”
Yang Hai was quite satisfied with Xiao Ningzi's humility and said, "Master asked me to ask you how much involvement the Queen had in Hongshi's forced palace."
Xiao Ningzi was silent for a moment and said: "To reply to Eunuch Yang, the Queen has always known about this matter. Even when the second elder brother takes action, it is decided by the Queen."
"So that means everyone is informed?" After Xiao Ningzi nodded, Yang Hai sneered: "But that day in the Yangxin Palace, the Queen used a bitter trick to get rid of everything."
Xiao Ningzi smiled and said: "If she doesn't do this, how can she still be her queen?"
Yang Hai nodded noncommittally, and then said: "Master asked me to tell you to keep an eye on the Queen and find the letters between her and Hongshi."
"Second elder brother?" Xiao Ningzi said in astonishment: "This... how is this possible? Since the second elder brother was imprisoned in the clan mansion, the Queen has never contacted him again. Where can there be letters?"
Yang Hai glanced at him sideways and said, "Without a letter, wouldn't you be able to think of a solution?"
Xiao Ningzi's eyes widened and she said: "You...you want me to forge a letter? How...how can this be done? Moreover, the emperor is familiar with the second elder brother's handwriting and can tell it is fake at a glance. It is impossible."
Yang Hai lowered his face and said: "Firstly, Hongshi has been stripped of his yellow belt by the emperor and is no longer the second elder brother; secondly, since you promised the master, you should do your best to do what the master ordered. Even if you haven't done it yet, then
