Ning Shu said sincerely: "Many thanks for Your Highness' trust. This humble girl believes that there is only one way to dispel His Majesty's current suspicions, and that is to ask Your Highness and His Highness the Sixth Prince to conceal their strength and bide their time. "
"How do we conceal our strength and bide our time?"
"For example, Your Highness can apply for medical leave and leave the harem in the care of the grand concubines. Another example is that His Highness the Sixth Prince recently obtained the authority to command thirty thousand Yongchengwei. " Ning Shu carefully observed every subtle expression on Empress Cao's face and hurriedly explained, "This humble girl naturally knows that this authority was not easily obtained and that His Highness the Sixth Prince used his life to obtain it. It would be a pity to give it up so easily. However, Your Highness must know that there is a move called retreating in order to advance. Temporarily retreating now is for the sake of pursuing victory in the future. Moreover, His Majesty's birthday is approaching. His Highness the Sixth Prince can use the excuse of congratulating His Majesty on his birthday to take the initiative to hand over his authority and go to the ancestral temple to copy scriptures. This way, not only will you fully express your attitude to His Majesty, but you will also expose His Highness the Sixth Prince's filial piety to His Majesty. When His Majesty's suspicions about Your Highness and His Highness the Sixth Prince are completely eliminated, why worry about Yongchengwei not returning to His Highness the Sixth Prince's hands? Perhaps, you will also receive unexpected compensation from His Majesty. "
"It sounds absurd, but it does make some sense." Empress Cao thought about it for a moment. It was clear that she had taken Ji Yunshu's words to heart. A moment later, she turned her gaze back to Ji Yunshu. Her sharp armor slowly tapped on the armrest a few times. "But, how should this empress deal with you? If I let you safely leave my Phoenix Algae Palace, wouldn't this consort be violating His Majesty's orders? "
As expected, she still couldn't escape this Dao tribulation. Ning Shu bitterly smiled, then bent down and knelt in front of Empress Cao: "This subject's name is Ning Shu. This subject's name is Ning Shu. This subject's name is audacious and arrogant, openly disrespecting the Empress. Furthermore, this subject's wine has been knocked over by the Empress. I ask the Empress to throw this subject's name into prison as a warning to others.
The feeling of fabricating a crime for herself was truly a subtle one. However, compared to losing his life, there was at least a chance of survival in prison.
The knocking stopped abruptly and Empress Cao's face regained its graceful and kind smile. She sighed slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then this empress can only agree to your request. Don't worry, if your usefulness is proven, this consort won't let you die so easily. You can stay in prison for a while. "
Ning Shu silently kowtowed. "Thank you, Empress, for your mercy!"
The tightly shut door made a creaking sound as it slowly opened behind her. A wisp of cold wind entered the oppressive hall, brushing against her back that was already soaked in sweat, causing her to shiver all of a sudden. Looking at the bright light that slipped into the hall at the same time as the cool wind, Ning Shu couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Before she entered the palace, she had repeatedly promised her mother that she would return home safely. Unexpectedly, not only had she broken her promise, she had also become a prisoner. How was she going to explain this?
Ning Shu, ah, Ning Shu. Ever since you were reborn, everything you've experienced has been too smooth, making you unconsciously blindly confident. It's good to learn a lesson this time.
As she comforted herself in her heart and prepared to leave, she heard Empress Cao's deep and unfathomable voice again. "How much do you know about the Plum Blossom Kiss?"
Ning Shu's figure suddenly paused, but she reacted quickly and immediately knelt down again. She said with sincerity, "This subject's daughter doesn't know much. This subject's daughter only accidentally saw a few words in the case records left behind by my late master. It said that this poison is colorless and odorless and is the most terrifying poison in the world. It seems that as the poison deepens, it will grow into a shape similar to a flower. It is very strange. Other than this, this subject's daughter doesn't know anything else. "
When she finally walked out of the Phoenix Algae Palace, Ning Shu's vision darkened and she almost couldn't keep her feet steady. Because twice, in that extravagant and cold palace, she had almost brushed shoulders with the King of Hell twice!
