Ji Ning thought about Zhao Yuanrong's trouble in detail before shaking his head and said, "Being a person outside the palace wall, I can't help the princess!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Ji Ning, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face had a little more spirit unique to a strong woman, and said, "Mr. Ji, if the matter is easy, this palace can solve it by itself, why do you want to discuss it with you?" Are you just thinking about it now and saying that things can't be done, is it too perfunctory? There are many details, and this palace has not told you in detail. I wonder if I can take a step to speak? ”

"Borrow a step?" Ji Ning felt awkward when he heard this, the two of them were already talking alone in the night, and if they had to borrow a step, they must find a secluded place to be alone.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "This princess is also a maverick, don't you know that a lonely man and a widow will lose something if they live in the same room?" ”

Ji Ning said: "If the princess wants to discuss, then it is better to go to the small courtyard where she lives!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Yuanrong nodded, and seemed to have no defense against Ji Ning, so he walked with Ji Ning and the others in the direction of the Lin family's courtyard in Chongwenmen.

Outside the small courtyard, the door was not locked, as if it was bolted from the inside, but Ji Ning knew that this was to confuse the thief, only he knew how to open the courtyard door, and with a small key in the crack of the door, the door opened, Zhao Yuanrong looked at the side, and said curiously: "Sir's way of opening the door is very unique!" ”

Ji Ning said: "In a place like the capital where you are not familiar with life, you always have to be careful, otherwise you won't know how you died!" ”

After speaking, Ji Ning took out a piece of paper, which seemed to have some words written on it, because the night was hazy, and Zhao Yuanrong couldn't see what was written on it.

Ji Ning probed in detail that there was no strange power in the courtyard before stuffing the paper into his arms, which was also the result of Ji Ning's caution, and what he prepared in his arms was the sacrifice of the big seal, ready to deal with the power of yin and yang gossip in this small courtyard at any time.

Zhao Yuanrong followed Ji Ning, she felt that she was not talking in a secluded place, but following Ji Ning to explore, and the small courtyard had become a mysterious place full of dangers.

Although she was a little puzzled in her heart, she didn't propose anything, until she followed Ji Ning into the house and saw Ji Ning lighting the candlestick, she walked over, sat down, a cold wind blew, Zhao Yuanrong still had a feeling of sitting in the cold wind, she frowned and said: "Mr. Weekdays live in this kind of cold place?" ”

"It's not cold." Ji Ning lit another candlestick and covered it with a lampshade, so that the room was a little brighter, and he stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "Princess, please sit!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at the house, although it was clean and tidy, but there was still a big gap with where she usually lived, in her mind, since Ji Ning could run for Oiran with 20,000 taels of silver, she must also have silver to enjoy life, she didn't expect Ji Ning to be so economical.

Zhao Yuanrong reluctantly sat down, facing a room that was almost "four walls of the house" in her eyes, Ji Ning only had some simple pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, and there were not even books, Zhao Yuanrong could judge that this was not where Ji Ning lived recently.

"Why did you bring Hongu here?" Zhao Yuanrong asked.

"Otherwise, where should I take the princess, is it to the despicable house?" Ji Ning said.

This time, Zhao Yuanrong didn't know how to answer, indeed, since she chose to find a secluded place to talk to Ji Ning, it was very secluded, and no one came to disturb her, which was a place that met her requirements very well.

Zhao Yuanrong no longer cared about the environment, and said: "Mr. Ji, I have already said the general situation before, and now I want to talk to you about the rest of the details, what do you ask, this palace will know everything and say everything!" ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded and asked, "When did the princess return to the capital?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong was stopped by Ji Ning's first question, and she asked, "Does this have anything to do with what this palace said?" ”

"Didn't the princess say before that she knew everything and said everything?" Ji Ning frowned, "If the princess refuses to say it, then there is nothing she can do!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong said: "This palace is the capital where Mr. Ji returned to the capital with his back and forth, is Mr. Ji satisfied with this answer?" But after returning to the capital, the palace has been hidden in the city and has not appeared in public, but many people still know this, and it is also related to the father's ignorance of the government. ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning nodded, and fell into deep thought again.

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Ji Ning from the side, she didn't understand why Ji Ning would ask some questions that seemed "insignificant" to her.

After a long time, Ji Ning asked again: "The princess should have tried to enter the palace gate, but was turned away, right?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yuanrong was surprised at first, she couldn't understand why Ji Ning knew so clearly, and then she replied, "Yes, this palace originally wanted to forcibly break into the palace gate, but was stopped by Gonggong Long's people, Gonggong Long is the person next to Concubine Li, and he is also the most trusted eunuch by his father's side recently, even the palace has to give him some face, this person is insidious and cunning!" ”

Ji Ning said again: "Princess, please forgive me for taking the liberty of playing, the princess's move is wrong, and it is a big mistake!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong frowned, she was wondering in her heart before, she came forward to force her way into the palace This move was right or wrong, but no one could answer her, but she had vaguely felt that there was something wrong, but she couldn't say it.

Ji Ning said: "In the princess's mind, she must think that Her Majesty was bewitched by someone's rumors, so she believed in something inconsequential, so that the government was abandoned." However, from the next point of view, His Majesty's move is not that His Majesty has been blinded, but that His Majesty intends to test the ability of the crown prince and the five princes to do things without the support of the palace...... Don't be surprised by the princess, maybe in Your Majesty's mind, the princess is not a suitable candidate for succession, so the purpose of Your Majesty's move is not on the princess! “

Zhao Yuanrong bit her lower lip with her teeth, showing a little dissatisfaction with her youngest daughter's family, and finally she nodded with a "um" and said: "Although what Mr. said, this palace doesn't like to listen to it, but this palace doesn't deny you, if your father wants to pass on the throne to this palace, it is indeed too difficult, so this palace doesn't do too much delusion!" ”

"The princess is lying again, if the princess is not delusional, why did she come to find you today?" Ji Ning's tone was very flat.

Zhao Yuanrong said angrily: "Mr. Ji, you really like to expose people's shortcomings, you know that this palace doesn't like to hear this, and you still say this, do you want this palace to have a grudge against you?" ”

"If the princess wants to plot for the throne, she can't be honest with her subordinates, how can she expect her to be sincere and help the princess?" Ji Ning asked rhetorically.
