Chapter 72 According to the plan
After hearing Weiwen's compliment, Ning Jiewei raised one corner of her mouth smugly.
"In that case, let me think about it."
"I don't care about the affairs of the court, and I know nothing about the Supervisory Office."
"Let me ask you, who can fight against the Supervisory Office?"
Weiwen responded respectfully.
"To answer the young lady's question, the only one that can be on par with the Supervisory Office is the Copper Affairs Office."
Ning Jiewei's smile grew deeper and deeper, and she already had an idea.
"Who are the people in charge of the copper platform?"
Weiwen replied with a smile.
"The power of the eight chambers is the same as that of the prime minister. Each chamber is jointly controlled by a prime minister and a prime minister."
"The Copper Secretary of the Copper Office is named An Pengyi, and he is the younger brother of Lord An, the head of the Imperial Hospital. I heard that he had to go on an official business and left the capital two days ago."
"Therefore, for the time being, the only person in charge of the Copper Affairs Platform is the Copper Affairs Minister."
"The name of the copper minister is Xu Mingqian. He is the third branch of the Xu family. He is forty-six years old this year. Because he is the youngest legitimate son in the family, he is very much loved by the old Marquis Xu."
Ning Jiewei nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing across her eyes.
"I heard that all the men in the Xu family are handsome and elegant. Even if they are a little older, they are still as good-looking as ordinary men."
"I wonder what this copper-faced Lord Xu looks like, and what his rank is in the family?"
Weiwen lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I heard that even if we count the young men in the mansion, Lord Xu is still the most handsome man in the Xu Mansion."
Ning Jiewei nodded with satisfaction.
"Is he married?"
Weiwen smiled helplessly.
"Of course I'll start a family."
"The world is so big that there are countless women who want to marry Lord Xu."
"I heard that he already has many wives and concubines in his backyard, and he doesn't even need a maid. I don't know if it's true or not."
Ning Jiewei gave an interested smile, her eyes slightly empty, as if she had already fallen into fantasy.
"Yes, this kind of promiscuous man is the easiest to tease."
"Once I have dealt with him, I will have the people from the Tongshitai break down the gate of Prince Dijin's mansion!"
Weiwen was stunned for a moment.
"what?"
"Young lady, think twice. Lord Xu is from the Tongshitai. How can you offend him casually?"
“Besides, by the time the young lady succeeds, the third young lady will probably have returned home.”
"After all, there are differences between men and women. The third lady will not stay in Prince Dijin's mansion for long considering her reputation."
"I think there is no need to rush, young lady."
Ning Jiewei looked in the direction of Xiangzhuyuan and glanced sideways.
"Ning Yunxi's purpose for visiting Prince Dijin's mansion this time is different from the past, and she will definitely stay for a long time."
"She just felt guilty, so she left to avoid disaster. As long as I'm safe, she won't come back. It's better to ruin her reputation than to lose her life, right?"
"I won't let her have her wish."
"Master Xu Mingqian, oh, it won't take me a moment to get him under my skirt!"
……
Emperor Jin's Palace.
Ning Yunxi sat upright, playing chess with himself.
Hearing Qiu Bi's cheerful footsteps, Ning Yunxi smiled slightly.
"She really went to see Master Xu?"
Qiu Bi nodded happily.
"Yes."
"As the girl expected, everything went exactly as expected."
"But this fourth girl is too reckless. She actually slept with Tongshi. He is the emperor's person. How dare she take advantage of him?"
There was a hint of teasing on Ning Yunxi's lips.
"Besides this ability, what else can she do?"
"Of course, I have to pick up the skills I am good at, and just hook my little finger, it will be easy and satisfying."
Qiu Bi blushed and felt shy.
"Why do you talk like that, girl? That's not like you normally."
Ning Yunxi gave a naive smile.
"I wasn't just teasing her."
"By the way, is my brother back?"
Qiu Bi nodded.
"The epidemic in Nanluo County ended two days ago. I heard that the prince has already set out to return to the capital, and I estimate that he will be able to return to the mansion before this evening."
"Alas, why would Your Majesty go there in person to deal with an epidemic in such a small county?"
Ning Yunxi expressed his understanding and explained it on his behalf.
"Brother, your love for the people has always been like this."
"So after all these years, he is still popular among the people."
Having said that, the topic turned back to Ning Jiewei.
"The people from the Tongshitai are not strong enough to deal with the guards from the Duhutai. At best, they can only fight to a draw."
"The Tongshitai must have the upper hand in this matter, and then my brother will naturally take me to hide in the secret room."
"Once my brother enters the capital, you will secretly pass on the message and tell Ning Jiewei about the informant that Zhong Shuyi once arranged in the Supervisory Office."
"She will know what to do next."
Qiu Bi was a little worried.
"What if the fourth lady doesn't think of using that informant to quietly send away the guards of the Supervisory Office to weaken the defense of Prince Dijin's mansion? What should we do then?"
"Also, if the emperor and the princes get wind of this and attack the weak points, wouldn't the Emperor Jin Palace be attacked from both sides?"
Ning Yunxi had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Although Ning Jiewei is not very intelligent, she is not as slow as my second brother. She must have figured it out."
"Also, we are attacked from both sides."
"Tell Lord Xie to arrange for Yin Sishi to remind the people of the Supervisory Office in time, saying that he accidentally discovered this informant of the Supervisory Office when he was investigating the remaining affairs of Zhong Shuyi. In order to prevent any accidents, he sent someone to inform them as soon as possible."
"In this way, the people from the Supervision Station can rush back immediately."
Qiu Bi smiled as she was told.
"My lady is wise. I will do it right away."
Ning Yunxi called out to her.
"correct."
"You go buy some spice."
"If Ning Jiewei's charm isn't enough, send someone to quietly light the spices to help her."
Qiu Bi nodded.
"Yes."
About half an hour had passed, Yan Yu had just returned home, and Qiu Bi had also returned.
"Girl, it's done."
"The fourth lady is really capable. The spices I bought were wasted. I didn't use any of them. In the end, they were all destroyed."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with disdain.
"That day in the flower house, I saw her ability."
"Haha, it turns out that you can't underestimate it."
At this time, Yan Yu's inquiring voice came from outside the door.
"What should not be underestimated?"
Ning Yunxi thought about it for a moment and responded with a smile.
"Brother is finally back. I've been waiting for a long time."
"Qiu Bi and I are discussing the fourth sister."
"She actually hired a civilian assassin to take my head. Her ambition should not be underestimated."
"No, I'm afraid of losing my life, so I'm hiding here with you."
"I think the guards of the Supervisory Platform should not be afraid of those civilian assassins, right?"
Yan Yu's face was full of helplessness.
"That's natural."
"The guards of the Guardian's Office are all veterans of the battlefield. Those who take turns guarding Prince Dijin's Palace are the elite among the guards. How can civilian assassins defeat them?"
"It's just strange. How could you offend Ning Sinu? Didn't you say that you would move to the new house after finding out her identity?"
"In theory, the new house is far away from Ning Mansion, so I shouldn't have too much contact with her."
"Could it be that when verifying her identity, I accidentally touched upon her interests?"
Ning Yunxi pouted and acted like a spoiled brat.
"My parents suddenly changed their attitude towards me. I thought they finally changed their minds, and I was so happy that I didn't want to move."
"They treated me well, so my fourth sister was naturally very jealous, so she found an assassin to kill me."
