Chapter 105 Rebellion

Weiwen glanced lightly and saw Ning Yunxi and Qiu Bi not far away, but she didn't say anything.

"To answer your question, young lady, King Dijin has not yet appointed an empress."

Ning Jiewei felt strange.

"Empress?"

Weiwen corrected respectfully.

"I dare to remind you that the young lady just made a slip of the tongue."

"The wife of King Dijin is not a princess, so she must be addressed as Empress Dowager."

Under the rippling light, Ning Jiewei smiled curiously, adding a different kind of charm.

"Empress?"

"That's quite unique. It sounds like she is the queen."

Weiwen smiled and nodded.

"The Empress is like the mother of a country."

Ning Jiewei's smile faded as she sensed something was wrong.

"The Empress, isn't she the legal wife of Prince Di Jin? How can she be the mother of a country?"

"Don't be so blunt."

Weiwen's eyes were filled with surprise.

"You really don't know anything about such an important matter?"

"I thought the young lady just made a slip of the tongue."

"Prince Dijin is the monarch, and the emperor is the minister. They are not only sworn brothers, but also monarch and minister."

"If an emperor and empress are enthroned, the emperor and empress are naturally the emperor, and the empress is a minister. The two cannot be mentioned in the same breath."

Ning Jiewei suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Is this true?"

"Then why did you tell me, big brother, that King Di Jin was a commoner, and was enthroned as king only because he was slightly popular among the people, and was lifted up by the common people?"

Weiwen was stunned with a dilemma.

"This……"

"I don't know why the eldest master said that."

"Did the girl hear it wrong?"

Ning Jiewei snorted angrily.

"How could I have heard it wrong?"

"He led me to the crime of King Dijin, and his intentions are sinister. I will go to my mother to complain!"

"Where's mother?"

"I remember seeing her walk out of the front hall and head towards the guest rooms just now?"

"You go back to Chunxuan Residence first. I'll go to the guest room to find her."

Having said that, she ran away in a hurry.

Then, Ning Yunxi and Qiu Bi came closer.

Weiwen bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to the princess."

"Master Gao is well."

Ning Yunxi smiled faintly and gave him a light support.

"She went to look for her mother, didn't she?"

Weiwen nodded in response.

"Yes."

"According to the princess's instructions, I seized the opportunity and exposed the eldest master's plan. The fourth lady was furious and ran to complain."

Ning Yunxi's smile showed a hint of satisfaction.

"Thank you."

"After my elder brother returns to the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide the fact that you changed your loyalty to me."

"In my opinion, you should stay away from the house."

"Please keep these silver coins for now. If you need more, come to Huichun Hall to find me."

As he spoke, he signaled Qiu Bi with his eyes.

Qiu Bi took off the purse from her waist and handed it to Weiwen.

Weiwen bowed respectfully and took it with both hands.

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Thank you, with a slightly worried tone.

"But my slave contract has not yet expired. If they report it to the court, where will I go to hide?"

Ning Yunxi's eyes were gentle and delicate, like snow.

"Just go ahead and don't worry. I will definitely not be careless about the aftermath."

Weiwen felt relieved and bowed again.

"Thank you, my lord, for your mercy."

"Then...I will take my leave."

Ning Yunxi looked around and pointed her in the direction.

"Go out through the west door."

Weiwen responded.

"Yes."

On the other side, Ning Jiewei was halfway there when she ran into Mu Rong and Ning Fengzhe who had just walked out of the guest room.

Ning Jiewei pushed Ning Fengzhe hard without saying anything.

"Ning Fengzhe, why did you harm me?!"

Ning Fengzhe took a step back and understood her intention after just one sentence.

"It's inconvenient to talk here."

As he spoke, he reopened the door of the guest room and then gave instructions to his men.

"Don't let anyone get close."

After giving the order, the three of them walked into the guest room together.

Ning Jiewei took the initiative to file a complaint.

"Mother, my elder brother lied to me and said that King Dijin was just a commoner, and he led me to assassinate him!"

"Second brother is teasing you, after all, he doesn't know my true identity."

"But what is your intention behind this tit-for-tat response, big brother?"

"Mother, are you still going to protect your precious son?"

After hearing this, Mu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhe in disbelief.

Without waiting to hear his explanation, she slapped him directly.

"Ning Fengzhe, she is your biological sister!"

"How can you bear to kill?"

Feeling the heat on the left half of his face, Ning Fengzhe let out a sigh of relief and endured the pain.

According to his original plan, Ning Jiewei would have been convicted and died.

He never thought that Ning Yunxi would not fall into the trap, so naturally he did not expect that Ning Yunxi would resort to sowing discord.

She obviously wanted to deal with Ning Jiewei, so why didn't she get involved?

Could it be that the attack on Ning Jiewei was just an illusion, and Ning Yunxi deliberately facilitated the assassination, but actually had other purposes?

While thinking, Ning Fengzhe had already come up with an excuse.

"I just said it casually, but Wei'er actually took it seriously?"

"Mother, you can see clearly that although my words were disrespectful, I never led Wei'er to do evil."

As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on Ning Jiewei.

"Excuse me, which of my words led you to commit the assassination?"

Ning Jiewei was at a loss for words.

"You and I……"

"The words you said were meant to guide me!"

Ning Fengzhe responded calmly and with ease.

"Then may I ask again, what is my motive?"

Ning Jiewei answered without thinking.

"To deal with me, of course."

Ning Fengzhe immediately hit back.

"How could I possibly hurt my own sister?"

"What good would it do me to scheme against you, just to get a slap from my mother?"

Ning Jiewei was speechless again and thought for a long time before continuing with her accusation.

"You are doing this to deal with King Dijin!"

"I heard from my mother that you assist the emperor."

"Given the current situation, the emperor must want to kill Prince Di Jin, so he sent you to assassinate him. You..."

Having said this, Mu Rong was so scared that she covered her mouth tightly.

"Weier, shut up."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Ning Jiewei struggled hard to break free, and even though she couldn't open her mouth, she was still accusing with her expression.

“Hmmmm… Hmmmm…”

Ning Fengzhe remained calm and waited for the right time to act.

"Mother heard it. Everything is just Wei'er's own understanding. The child has no intention of guiding her."

"Did the Emperor personally guide Wei'er to assassinate King Dijin?"

Mu Rong was already sweating coldly and was still in shock.

"I wronged you, please be more understanding."

Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes respectfully and reminded softly.

"Weier, you should reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. Will it end tomorrow?"

"If someone finds out that I'm disobeying your orders, does mother have any plans to deal with it?"

Mu Rong realized it later and reacted, then turned to scold Ning Jiewei.

"Prince Dijin is in Ning Mansion, how dare you show off like this?"

"Go back quickly and don't get into trouble again."

Ning Jiewei was completely dissatisfied and stared at Ning Fengzhe with wide eyes.

"Ning Fengzhe, I won't let you go!"

Ning Fengzhe ignored it.

Mu Rong immediately urged.

"I told you to go back!"

Ning Jiewei snorted angrily and went back reluctantly.

Mu Rong followed him and left.

Ning Fengzhe then told his attendant Wen Jia: "Since Weiwen failed to take good care of Chunxuanju, she is ordered to commit suicide."

Wen Jia stared at the side door in surprise: "I just saw Weiwen leave the house from the west side door. Should I wait for her to return home before going to Chunxuan Residence to pass on the order?"

Ning Fengzhe also looked at them.

"gone?"

He questioned, then smiled.

"You're so quick. You're one step ahead of me."

"She is indeed different now."
