Cheng Ning didn't say he believed it or didn't believe it.
She just said: "What can you do to surrender so that I can see that I am getting value for money?"
Tianxing originally thought that Cheng Ning would ask her what she had in her hand, but she didn't expect that this was what she was asking.
She immediately said: "As long as the empress does the job, Tianxing will do whatever it takes!"
If Cheng Ning wanted to do something, Tianxing was indeed the best choice at this time.
She thought for a while and said, "Chunhua will go out first."
Chunhua thought that Cheng Ning would never trust Xie Nianyao no matter what, not to mention that Tianxing had harmed her in the first place.
"Empress!" She was a little anxious: "Do you believe her?!"
It's not that Chunhua wants to stop Cheng Ning from hiring people, but hiring people should also depend on who they are.
Moreover, Cheng Ning asking her to go out was a sign of distrust.
Chunhua was sad and angry: "What if she wants to do something bad to you?"
"No, she came to surrender to me. If the Queen and Concubine Hui find out, her life will be lost."
Even if Xie Nianyao loses power, crushing Tian Xing, a maid, is not as easy as crushing an ant to death.
Tianxing must have been determined to survive this time when she came here.
Seeing what Chunhua wanted to say, Cheng Ning said calmly: "Get out."
For a moment, the light in Chunhua's eyes dimmed.
She thought Cheng Ning didn't trust anyone in the palace, and she also thought that as long as she stayed in the palace long enough, there would come a time when she would let down her guard.
But she would rather believe in a sweet person who has done bad things than believe in her.
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
But just as he was about to step out, he heard Cheng Ning say: "I don't mean not to believe you, it's just that there are some things that it would be better if you didn't know."
This is an explanation.
Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then closed the door behind her back.
There were only two people left in the room, and Tian Xing boldly raised her eyes to look at Cheng Ning.
She had always felt that the woman in front of her was nothing to be afraid of. When she first entered the palace, she even thought that Cheng Ning would not survive the New Year.
But not only did she survive until the New Year, she was also the concubine least likely to lose her power.
"Empress," Tian Xing had her own question: "Don't you ask me what I brought with me to surrender?"
"I can guess." When Cheng Ning spoke, it was no longer as gentle as when talking to Chunhua, but with a hint of coldness: "Concubine Hui is going to attack me, right?"
"you--?!"
Tianxing's eyes widened in disbelief: "How did you know?"
Since Cheng Ning guessed it, why would he let himself stay here?
"I forced her into this. If I couldn't figure out her temperament, how could I press her every step of the way in the draft?"
So that’s it!
No wonder Xie Qingyi smashed everything after returning to Fengluan Palace today and scolded Cheng Ning every time.
I thought it was just an unintentional move, but it was actually Cheng Ning's plan?
If so, that's terrible.
She felt a chill running down her spine even as she knelt down!
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Cheng Ning picked up the water on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat: "I want the Xie family to die."
If the Xie family does not die, it will always become a rope that affects Cheng Ning's mood.
Xie Nianyao's method failed last time, but if it succeeded, it would cost the lives of all the Cheng family.
She never forgot, it was impossible to forget.
Those debts must be repaid.
"How does Concubine Hui plan to harm me? Is she going to start with Mei Lu?"
Tianxing once again lamented Cheng Ning's insight: "Why do you know?"
Is it possible that Cheng Ning actually has an insider in Fengluan Palace?
She even heard it after she hid in Xie Qingyi's palace at the risk of her life.
Just to give Cheng Ning a bargaining chip to believe in him.
"I guessed it," Cheng Ning answered her question: "A large part of the food and clothing expenses in Linhua Palace will be handled by the prince, and the harm to others cannot be obvious, so Xie Qingyi had to remove herself, She will only use more roundabout methods, but unfortunately, I have to ask the palace people to collect plum blossoms every day."
Only Mei Lu can be sent directly to Linhua Palace without going through internal inspection.
The expression on Tian Xing's face was no longer one of shock, but of astonishment and admiration: "You have even made it this far."
"Yes, that's what I had in mind when I first talked about Mei Lu in front of Xie Nianyao. Unfortunately, she was stupid. I didn't expect that Xie Qingyi was a little smarter."
Tian Xing began to tremble: "Then, what do you want?"
"You don't need to worry about Xie Qingyi. I want you to do another thing. Xie's Mansion is where you grew up. Is it not difficult for you to avoid Xie Qingyi and Xie Nianyao to inquire about something?"
Tianxing swallowed: "It doesn't count."
Of course she is familiar with him in Xiangfu.
But - "What you want to know must be very important. How can ordinary servants get access to it? If the Prime Minister wants to hide it, no one can know what is happening above."
Cheng Ning sneered lightly: "It doesn't have to be so detailed. Just tell me Xie Zhiyun's daily life."
So simple?
"I won't throw it away after using it, but before the matter is completed, if you are exposed, I will not save you. You can think clearly and decide whether to do it or not."
Doing so would mean that Tianxing not only betrayed Xie Nianyao, but also betrayed the entire Xie family.
But if she doesn't do it, she can still live in Fengluan Palace.
Cheng Ning made it clear and let her choose.
Her mind was constantly ups and downs, and Tian Xing thought about a lot.
Cheng Ning didn't promise anything, but after having such an in-depth conversation with her for the first time, Tian Xing realized that this man was more thoughtful than she thought.
To the point of chilling.
"You——" After a moment, Tianxing asked boldly: "Will you be a queen in the future?"
After the court dispute is over and everything calms down, will Cheng Ning climb to the highest position?
"Won't."
She heard Cheng Ning's determination, but she didn't believe it: "Why? His Majesty clearly loves you the most!"
It seems that Tianxing knows more than she thought.
Cheng Ning has never liked recruits who rush into battle. Originally, Tian Xing was like a recruit who just entered the battlefield, but now she is a bit more steady and calculating.
"Because no matter how much time passes, I will never like this palace."
She still wanted to go out and leave this imperial city filled with countless calculations.
Tian Xing is puzzled. As an official or a general, a woman always has to put in a lot of effort, even blood and tears.
Didn't Gongsun Li return to court for the second time?
Cheng Ning's pride was shattered by the confiscation of his military talisman.
Only by climbing to the position of empress can we be worry-free. We can rely on the emperor's protection to get through to the end, right?
Women are most likely to be feared when they are in power. They can only act as a canary. Even if they have power, they become pampered.
How could anyone not want to fulfill the nine-day month?
"Your Majesty's favor is not important at all in your eyes?"
Cheng Ning said: "Those are two different things. You don't need to try to speculate on me."
Against Cheng Ning, the temptation could only fail.
Tianxing pinched her cuffs tightly, and her nails turned white with force.
Her heart was beating fast, but the words stuck in her throat finally came out.
"But my dear, don't you think about the child in your belly?"
