"Replying to Imperial Concubine Qi, the Phoenix Terrace case was truly due to my luck. Along the way, I accidentally solved it. Now that I've been given an undeserved reputation, I'm truly ashamed to receive it, and I'm even more undeserving of your praise. " Ning Shu lowered her head and obediently responded to the gorgeous Imperial Concubine Qi. Her terrified appearance was exactly like a helpless and mediocre little quail.
"Luck?" Imperial Concubine Qi slowly sneered, "Then your luck has been good since you were five years old. It's really God's blessing."
As soon as Ning Shu heard this, she knew that this overbearing Imperial Concubine Qi was going to bring up old scores. She silently sighed in her heart and braced herself to endure this ancestor's deliberate provocation. Unexpectedly, she suddenly changed the topic and laughed, leaning towards Ning Shu with cold eyes.
"If the information I received is correct, the person who participated in the case as a little eunuch of Prince Nanping's Estate these two days was you, right? I didn't expect that a girl like you, who doesn't seem to be outstanding, would actually be able to hook up with Heir Xiahou. Your ability is truly not small. "
Ning Shu looked at her in astonishment, "Imperial Concubine, you —"
"You want to ask where this concubine got the information?" Imperial Concubine Qi lowered her eyes and fiddled with her exquisite pearl armor, leisurely saying, "You can guess on your own. This concubine didn't come here today to waste time with you. I only have one thing to tell you: if you want to accept this case, you have to accept it. Not only do you have to accept it for this concubine, but you also have to handle it well for this concubine. "
"In addition, there's one more thing that this concubine wants to remind you: Prince Nanping's Estate isn't something you can encroach on. It's best if you immediately give up that muddled thought. Otherwise, we'll settle the old and new scores together."
After Imperial Concubine Qi finished her domineering warning, she returned to the palace with her boundless arrogance.
Ning Shu didn't even have the chance to refuse.
Last time, she had agreed to help the Empress get rid of Consort Nguyễn. If she refused Imperial Concubine Qi this time, she would be standing on the Empress's side and opposing Imperial Concubine Qi. However, she had already become a thorn in the side of many people in the last case. It wasn't easy for her to keep a low profile for a few days, but now, she was forced to go to Liangshan. He wanted to roast her on the fire and wouldn't stop until she was cooked.
Ning Shu couldn't help but find joy in the midst of bitterness. 'This is great, I don't have to pretend to be a little eunuch of Lord Ping Nan's Mansion anymore.'
One after another, they warned her to stay away from Xiahou Qing. It was as if she really had some bad intentions towards Xiahou Qing. Although she was indeed a little curious about him.
Yes, just a little.
The Chancellor of the Supreme Court, Feng Zheng, was an old man in his sixties who was ready to retire at any time. Since ten years ago, he had often been "ill". He did not care much about anything and did not offend anyone. He wished that he could turn seventy in the blink of an eye and retire at home. The sentence he said most often was, "Aiya, aiya, what should I do?"
Thus, after Qi Jueyu's case was exposed, he 'fell ill' again. After saying, "Aiya, aiya, what should I do?", the case was transferred to the Supreme Court's Vice-Chancellor.
The Supreme Court's Vice-Chancellor was only in his twenties and was a very quick-witted person. After receiving orders from the higher-ups to take over this case, he found out that quite a few nobles were involved. That legendary curveball, the eldest daughter of the Ning family, had also been personally selected by Consort Qi. Thus, he spent a large sum of money to reserve the largest private room in the Chasing Clouds and Chasing Moon Restaurant and set up a banquet so that he could get in touch with the various nobles.
When Ning Shu arrived, the Vice-Chancellor was temporarily held up by miscellaneous matters and had not yet arrived. Under the guidance of the servant, she pushed open the carved door of the private room. Ning Shu thought that there would be no one inside and did not expect to see a person standing by the window with his hands behind his back.
He was wearing a scarlet cloak and was tall and slender, exuding a faint arrogance.
Ning Shu stopped in her tracks and hesitated for a moment. She wondered if she would be too disrespectful if she left at the last minute.
Because this person was none other than Xiao Yunyi, who gave her the most headaches.
