Mu Jingzhao lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a moment, and after a long time, he finally exhaled slowly.

"But fortunately, the three people in this court, just like the three concubines in my harem, have always kept the well water from the river."

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, probably understanding the meaning of the other party's words.

Now that the previous dynasty has formed such a three-legged pattern, no matter which side it is, it is all amazingly powerful.

But fortunately, there are such checks and balances on each other, and the three-legged stand can be regarded as stable and harmonious.

"As you can see, I have only been on the throne for three years. Before ascending the throne, I was always the only crown prince and heir to the throne of Gong Kingdom, and it was natural and natural to sit on this throne. ”

"However, the biggest problem is that these three important ministers in the court followed the first emperor step by step to lay down the country on horses, and they naturally sneered at me, who was not literate, and did not sneer at the second ancestor."

Jiang Ning listened to this and roughly understood everything.

Those three old ministers, who followed the first emperor step by step, experienced the bloody wind and rain of licking blood at the tip of the knife and changing the dynasty, naturally they couldn't look down on Mu Jingzhao, who easily inherited everything without any effort.

And if Mu Jingzhao wants to sit firmly in the position of emperor, win over the three ministers, and let them use them for his own use, it is the best policy.

Therefore, Mu Jingzhao chose the most direct and stupid way - to include all their daughters in the harem.

But now it seems that this effect has not met Mu Jingzhao's expectations.

"If you just look at the fact that the concubine married Prime Minister Jiang's daughter, the other party's purpose is not like the emperor." Jiang Ning held his face and said his guess with some hesitation.

For such a long time, I still couldn't understand why the other party had to choose to assassinate himself.

Maybe it's just that I feel that my status is lowly and can be easily discarded.

But why is it himself, not anyone who is also humble but strong in martial arts.

Jiang Ning thought about it for a while, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, the real purpose of the other party to let him enter the palace was not to assassinate, but to plant blame.

She had only been in the palace for a few days, and Mu Jingzhao easily recognized that her true identity was not the prime minister's daughter.

If Mu Jingzhao pursued it a little, it would be easy to reveal the fact that the prime minister's daughter had escaped from marriage.

And running away from marriage is a big crime for the nine clans.

At that time, even if Jiang Qingyuan had hundreds of mouths, it would be difficult for him to explain his grievances.

After all, even if he insisted that the storyteller he married was his own daughter, then she was also an assassin who had the audacity to assassinate the emperor.

No matter which crime he was charged, Jiang Qingyuan would not escape death.

"I know." Mu Jingzhao exhaled deeply, "If Jiang Qingyuan is really stupid enough to believe that you can kill me." Then I was relieved. ”

Jiang Ning didn't care about the sarcasm in Mu Jingzhao's mouth, this matter was related to her net worth and life, and she didn't dare to joke about it.

She worked hard to make money in the palace for so long so that one day, she could leave here and live an ideal life.

And the premise of all this is to live yourself.

"Then at the very least, we can rule out the possibility of the Prime Minister for the time being." Jiang Ning pursed his lips lightly and spoke slowly, "From the current point of view, all of this is directly harming the interests of the prime minister. ”

Mu Jingzhao nodded slightly, agreeing with Jiang Ning's statement.

Jiang Ning's index fingertips slowly tapped in a straight line on the table with her spreading thoughts, and then, the movements of her hands paused, and her brows frowned slightly.

"But the concubine really doesn't understand." She withdrew her hand and rubbed her temples a little tiredly, "If that person's purpose is not the emperor, but the prime minister, then why did he poison the emperor when he threatened the assassination of his concubines?" ”

Mu Jingzhao pondered for a moment, "It's okay to say that you want to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Or is there more than one force involved?"

This long reasoning made Jiang Ning have more and more headaches, and she simply gave up on herself and fell on the table, staring at a pair of eyes, as if she was angry with someone.

Mu Jingzhao was amused by her funny expression, and he suddenly had an urge to touch the top of her hair.

So he really stretched out his hand like this, but the moment he was about to touch the top of Jiang Ning's head, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and gently patted Jiang Ning's head.

Jiang Ning, who was inexplicably slapped by this slap, glared at him fiercely.

But she didn't lose her temper because of this, just Mu Jingzhao reminded her to cheer up.

So she barely stood up and continued to speak: "The concubine thinks that the top priority at present is to find the whereabouts of the original Prime Minister. ”

"If you want to deal with Prime Minister Jiang, this missing Miss Prime Minister is undoubtedly a sharp weapon, whether it is to prove that the Prime Minister is rebelling or escaping from marriage, it is the most powerful evidence. Moreover, in any case, there is no reason for the other party to directly erase it. ”

While Jiang Ning was speaking, Mu Jingzhao always frowned and did not speak.

The long silence in the room made Jiang Ning a little uncomfortable.

She began to wonder if it was because of her self-inflicted cleverness that made Mu Jingzhao uncomfortable.

Just when she was full of apprehension, Mu Jingzhao cleared her throat and slowly spoke, "Can you go?" If you can't, I'll send someone to send you back to Taoyuan Palace. ”

Jiang Ning barely held her waist and twisted outward, and in an instant, she bared her teeth in pain.

"Someone—" Mu Jingzhao shouted outside the hall.

"The minister is here." Lin Zheng pushed the door in, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Jiang Ning, who was lying on the soft chair and grinning his teeth, and then moved away lightly.

"Prepare a sedan chair to send Concubine Ning back, and by the way, find some people to help me sort out the scrolls and move them all to Taoyuan Palace."

"Yes." Lin Zheng nodded and took the order.

"What did you give me the scroll for?" Jiang Ning's eyes widened in horror, she didn't believe that Mu Jingzhao would kindly send all the scrolls for her to consult.

"Sending you?" Mu Jingzhao glanced at her, "You dare to ask for it?" ”

Mu Jingzhao stepped forward in two steps, bent down, put his hands on her shoulders, and helped her up, "You demolished my imperial study, I have to find a place to read, I think your Taoyuan Palace is very good." ”

"I disagree!" Jiang Ning struggled hard, and the whole person almost fell off the soft stool, but fortunately, Mu Jingzhao's eyes were quick and he caught her first.

"If there is a big Buddha like you in Taoyuan Palace, how can I do business?"

Mu Jingzhao's face did not change, straightened her, and sat on the soft stool, "Then let's talk about compensation, I have ...... roof tiles."

"The concubine means that if you have the emperor's company, everyone will definitely be happier."

Mu Jingzhao smiled like a big-tailed wolf, he bent down and looked directly into Jiang Ning's eyes, "What was your identity before you wandered?" ”
