Although Zhao Yuanrong has the ambition to ascend the throne as emperor, she has no concept and no specific plan for how she will ascend the throne.

It wasn't until Ji Ning officially started to help her that her ascension to the throne looked a little bit more eyebrow-raising, because Ji Ning would help her accomplish a lot of things that she had never thought of before.

For example, Ji Ning will directly help Zhao Yuanrong recruit many people from new forces.

The two of them live in a small house, and they don't cook every time, but many times they will stay and stay together, after all, they are a formal husband and wife, and they don't have to be too shy about many things, in Ji Ning's view, the two are more like boyfriends and girlfriends who are in love, although they do not give each other the guarantee of marriage, but many things have no taboos, you can enjoy life together, and there is also the feeling and atmosphere of that husband and wife.

Zhao Yuanrong has not seen Ji Ning for many days, and he will miss it in his heart.

The two did not have a very romantic way, but used a simple and natural feeling to have each other.

waited until late at night, after it was already the dead of night outside, Zhao Yuanrong said in Ji Ning's arms: "It's not early, I don't want to go back tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I have to go back to the princess's mansion as early as possible......"

Ji Ning said: "If you go back at night, won't it be easier to be discovered?" It's better to wait until dawn before leaving. ”

"No!" Zhao Yuanrong sighed lightly, "I will enter the palace tomorrow, tomorrow my father is likely to go to the court, if I can't see him, the chaos in the court can't be explained to him, my father has been ridiculous enough over the years, I want to take advantage of his ability to listen to him, and admonish him more!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong has always had the stubbornness of a loyal minister.

Except for Zhao Yuanrong, it seems that no one else cares about what Zhao Kangzheng's country will become, not even the crown prince, but Zhao Yuanrong knows that Jiangshan is Zhao's country, and he can't change his surname because of the emperor's stupidity.

Ji Ning couldn't force Zhao Yuanrong, because this was Zhao Yuanrong's character, Ji Ning knew from the beginning that Zhao Yuanrong had such thoughts, and he could only go according to Zhao Yuanrong's wishes.

Zhao Yuanrong got up and dressed, until after tidying up, she walked over, kissed Ji Ning lightly on the face, and said, "Ji Ning, you try to come over these days, I will come when I have time, let's get together more...... Suddenly I feel that every time I meet you, I don't want to be a grudge with you, and we will be more happy when we meet, and talk less about business......"

"Good!" Ji Ning nodded, he got up and tidied up his clothes, accompanied Zhao Yuanrong out together, and watched Zhao Yuanrong leave.

Looking at Zhao Yuanrong's back in the night, Ji Ning himself will also have a feeling of loss, this is the feeling of getting but not completely getting, he really wants to make Zhao Yuanrong his own, but he found that in fact, what Zhao Yuanrong is thinking about is more about the country, and it is almost impossible to make Zhao Yuanrong completely become his woman and deal with family affairs with peace of mind.

"Is it destined that there will always be a barrier of power between me and her? Is it only after she ascends the throne that she and I will be able to have no barriers between us? ”

Ji Ning was a little confused in his heart, he didn't know how to deal with the relationship with Zhao Yuanrong, but he felt that there were many things between the two that could not be reconciled, just like in the power field, no one would be willing to admit defeat, even if it was Uncle Li and King Hui, after the failure of the rebellion, they were still looking for opportunities to develop their own forces, in order to survive, and even for the next time they could conspire to make trouble.

……

……

Ji Ning didn't go home, and he didn't dare to go to some strange places casually, for fear of being followed.

He was going to see Qin Yuanyuan once.

Qin Yuanyuan had officially defected to Zhao Yuanrong before, and was the first subordinate that Ji Ning helped Zhao Yuanrong to woo, Qin Yuanyuan's power in the capital was still not small, and fortunately, she switched to Zhao Yuanrong in time, otherwise she would be involved in the affairs of my prince, and all the industries may have fallen into the hands of others now.

Ji Ning met Qin Yuanyuan in Qin Yuanyuan's secret residence in the capital.

Qin Yuanyuan has completed the internal purge, and the people who betrayed her have all been eliminated by her, and most of the remaining people are newly promoted by her, and she herself is relatively trusting, but she doesn't dare to recommend these people to Zhao Yuanrong for use, because she herself doesn't know how many of these people can serve her career.

"Ji Gongzi came to visit late at night, I don't know what's going on?" Qin Yuanyuan saw Ji Ning before, and she was still somewhat noble and arrogant with her identity, but when she saw Ji Ning this time, she obviously felt that she was very weak in momentum, because she knew that the gap between her status and Ji Ning was getting bigger and bigger, Ji Ning used to be a scholar and had a future, and now he is a Jinshi, and he may become a bachelor in the next step, and his status in society is very high.

Ji Ning said: "I came to see Master Qin's family to ask how much progress there is...... Didn't I tell you something before, involving things to help the princess accumulate power? ”

Ji Ning didn't say it very clearly, because he was not very at ease with Qin Yuanyuan's residence, and he wanted to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

Qin Yuanyuan's heart was extremely smart, when she heard that Ji Ning didn't say it directly, she knew that Ji Ning had something to say, she hurriedly invited Ji Ning to the secret room in the backyard, to put it bluntly, it was the small underground room she opened up in her bedroom, and after entering it, Qin Yuanyuan told Ji Ning about the development of his power in the capital in the past month or two.

“…… Before the concubine wanted to give the princess a sum of 100,000 taels of silver for the princess's development of power, but the princess refused, and asked Ji Gongzi to help transfer it! ”

After speaking, Qin Yuanyuan took out a batch of silver exchange tickets from the wooden box in the corner of the secret room, with very clear marks on them, all of which were regular exchange notes that could be taken out by the major money houses in the capital.

Ji Ning said: "You take the silver first, now the princess is not short of this bit of silver, now the focus is to develop power, but in the future, the capital may not be very stable, and Qin Dangjia may have to leave the capital temporarily for a while." As for business, you can continue to command remotely outside without being affected too much......"

"Ji Gongzi, is there going to be a big mess in the capital again?" Qin Yuanyuan asked nervously.

Ji Ning smiled and didn't answer directly, there were some things that even he couldn't understand.

He said: "In short, it will be relatively safe to leave the capital, believe me!" ”

The sentence "believe me" has actually made Qin Yuanyuan feel at ease, after all, she is a lonely person, and the only people she trusted before were those domestic servants, but she thought that the betrayal of the domestic servants almost made her die outside, and now the people she really believes in are no one other than Ji Ning.
