Cao Ning's throat rolled, and he said with difficulty: "Your Highness, you...let me become Queen Xue's secret chess?"
He understands what His Highness means, but... this is impossible!
He is His Highness's servant. Even if he takes refuge with Queen Xue, how can Queen Xue trust him?
To gain the trust of Queen Xue, how could it be as simple as passing on the message?
What if, if it hurts His Highness...
No, it will definitely cause harm to His Highness!
This...he can't do it, and it goes against Mr. Du's request!
Your Highness, why do you say that? Your Highness, what do you want to do?
Seeing Zheng Ji nodding in recognition, an idea flashed in Cao Ning's mind and he blurted out: "Your Highness, could it be that the injuries to Shen Chen and Tao Jingyi are related to Queen Xue? It was the prince's line who set up a trap to kill them?"
Zheng Ji shook his head: "No, it's..."
She deliberately prolonged the ending to emphasize: "Mr. Du has a grudge against Queen Xue. Since he has been so kind to you, you should repay him with this."
This was the real reason why she called Cao Ning to come.
She understood Fengju's intentions. Fengju hoped that Cao Ning would be her helper. She would follow Fengju's wishes and keep Cao Ning by her side.
but……
The person who found out the truth about the Cao family was Fengju. The person who ran for Cao Ning was Fengju. The person who taught Cao Ning martial arts was also Fengju. The person who was truly kind to Cao Ning was Fengju.
What Cao Ning really wants to repay is Feng Ju.
Queen Xue has noticed Fengju and Hedong. She doesn't know what the other party will do next or what he will do to Fengju, but she won't sit around and wait.
She must bury a chess piece next to Queen Xue in order to respond in time.
However, when Emperor Xue was talking to his father, even Aunt Fu Fen, a close confidant who had been around for decades, would get out of the way, which showed how defensive he was.
It is too difficult to place An Qi next to Queen Xue.
Even if chess pieces are placed, they will be removed quickly, as was the case with Concubine Tao Xian.
Therefore, Zheng Ji had never had such an idea before.
She originally thought that even if she wanted to play a secret game next to Queen Xue, she would have to take a long-term approach.
However, Queen Xue stopped her and threatened her with Feng Ju.
Feng Ju is her reverse scale. Anyone who dares to touch it will be killed!
She couldn't just say such harsh words. To achieve this, she had to be fully prepared.
The more chaotic the situation became, the clearer her mind became.
When she left Fuqing Palace, she had already figured out why Queen Xue specifically waited at Guanyuxuan.
Queen Xue was sure that she was mentally disturbed, so she took the opportunity to test her.
In this confrontation, she had already lost a city - she was sure that Queen Xue had detected something, and she could only defend.
The best defense is offense.
At this time, it is the best time to place dark chess beside Queen Xue.
Queen Xue is too defensive, so... let Queen Xue take the initiative to hold this chess piece! .
"But...but, it's so difficult to get Queen Xue's letter! Mr. Du's place..." Cao Ning became incoherent. This was beyond his previous knowledge.
Become the Queen Xue's person by His Highness's side?
How...how to do this? It can't be done!
Zheng Ji curled his lips, as if he had everything under control: "You don't have to worry about this, this palace will arrange it. Just wait for Queen Xue to come to you."
"As for Mr. Du, let's hide it from him for now. There is only one thing..."
Zheng Ji fell silent, his smile faded, he looked at Cao Ning and said seriously: "This is not fair to you. You will be wronged, suspected, and even...will die. Are you...willing to do this?"
People who are dark chess players will never end well.
When things are done, go away and hide your merits and fame. This is something only in the storybook, and what she asked Cao Ning to do would not be that simple.
Cao Ning's breath
Gradually he stabilized, and then he smiled at Zheng Ji with a naive smile: "Your Highness, I am willing."
Seeing what she wanted to say, Cao Ning rushed to say: "Your Highness, I know what you want to say. For me, this matter does not require careful consideration. I am very willing."
Without Mr. Du, he would have been kept in the dark his whole life and would have obeyed orders for his enemies. That would be something more terrifying than death.
Zheng Ji was silent. At this moment, she finally agreed with Feng Ju's judgment.
Cao Ning is indeed a person who values love and justice.
She took a few steps forward, stood in front of Cao Ning, bent down deeply, cupped her hands and said, "Cao Ning, I thank you!"
Cao Ning was startled, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help Zheng Ji up, but he didn't dare, so he had to jump to the side to avoid it, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Highness, you don't have to do this! You have broken me, I... I'm afraid! "
His Highness scolded him a few times, but he thought it was nothing, but His Highness bowed down to thank him, and he...he was very panicked!
Zheng Ji straightened up and couldn't help but feel funny when he saw his panicked look.
This palace is not so scary, right?
To prevent Cao Ning from feeling uncomfortable anymore, she said, "You can go ahead. Li Xing'en will contact you after everything is arranged."
"Yes, Your Highness! Then...can I go see Shen Chen and the others?"
"Go ahead, they should wake up and be willing to see you."
Seeing that Cao Ning was about to leave in a hurry, Zheng Ji suddenly remembered something and said, "Also, thank you for your sword. Later, I will have someone make another one for you."
At the critical moment, Cao Ning threw a sword from outside the martial arts field.
Because the sword was filled with all her inner strength, it cracked after penetrating the chests of Xie Yi and Fan Li and could no longer be used.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the sword!"
~~~~
After Cao Ning left, Li Xing'en walked around Zheng Ji, hesitating to speak.
Zheng Ji opened the newspaper in his residence and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I see that you are feeling uncomfortable holding back."
"Your Highness, this is what you asked me to say!" Li Xing'en immediately answered, "This matter is something that I think is not allowed! It is absolutely not allowed!"
"Why is it illegal?" Zheng Ji said calmly, his eyes still focused on the newspaper.
Li Xing'en was anxious: "Your Highness! If you are like this... I really need to tell the imperial concubine! I will never let you see you suffer any harm, no matter what the reason is!"
In Li Xing'en's mind, how could Mr. Du of Wuge be as important as his own Highness?
He can rely on His Highness for other matters, but if His Highness acts at the expense of himself, he cannot agree to it.
Cao Ning, a young man, didn't understand, but he was used to the ups and downs in the palace, so how could he not understand?
According to His Highness's arrangement, if Cao Ning wants to gain the trust of Queen Xue, he will definitely defeat His Highness.
And His Highness will definitely sacrifice himself in order to confirm Cao Ning's identity as much as possible.
No matter what you say, you can't agree even if His Highness acts like a spoiled child!
Zheng Ji blinked, put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Li Xing'en with phoenix eyes, his eyes were sad, and whispered: "But if we don't do this, what else can we do?"
"..." Li Xing'en closed his eyes and said cruelly: "There will definitely be a way! Let me think about it, there will definitely be a way to place a secret chess piece in Kunning Palace!"
Zheng Ji sighed and looked at Li Xing'en longingly: "But, I want to do this."
How could she not know what Li Xingen was worried about?
However, she is willing to surrender her body and die because of Feng Ju.
"Fourth update! Hehe, even if the situation is critical, I still have to dig out some candy! - One more chapter will be added over the weekend. Thank you for your support and votes!"
