Chapter 1034: Waiting to Notice
Ning Jiewei simply knocked on the door three times, walked into Pan Xiangru's room, and sat down casually.
"I came to visit you specially. Is everything okay, aunt?"
Pan Xiangru saw through the lie.
"Come to visit?"
"I see you came prepared."
There was a hint of playfulness in Ning Jiewei's tone.
"Oh? Auntie is scared?"
"Then please guess, Auntie, what method did I come up with to take your life?"
Pan Xiangru smiled coldly.
"Ha, it's so mysterious."
"You think you can scare me? You don't know your own limitations."
"We each live in peace and harmony, without conflict. Why do you harbor such murderous thoughts?"
"It was Mo'er who, a few days ago, plotted against Xi'er, intending to cause her to lose her chastity and die of depression. I suspect you returned home to avenge him."
Ning Jiewei's eyes flashed with surprise.
"I didn't realize that my aunt is so smart."
Pan Xiangru is arrogant and rude.
"Being able to give birth to Yao'er, I can't be too bad."
Ning Jiewei acted coquettishly but was also angry.
"Auntie is so partial. How can you get me out? Aren't Fourth Sister and I twin sisters?"
Pan Xiangru felt disgusted.
"I don't have time to argue with you."
"Greetings, just pretend, and go about your business."
Ning Jiewei shook her shoulders, looking very cute.
"My child's journey is full of dangers. Auntie is my biological mother, how could you have the heart not to help me?"
Pan Xiangru pointed it out and her face turned cold.
"Even if I'm willing to help you, you wouldn't trust me, so why bother saying anything?"
"We are called relatives, but in reality we have no relationship. You can just put on an act in front of outsiders, but don't be an eyesore in front of me."
"Go back."
Ning Jiewei looked embarrassed.
"Auntie, your words are so perfect that I don't know how to fight back. You are so powerful."
Pan Xiangru sneered with disdain.
"how?"
"Weier said she came to visit, but in fact, she was just daydreaming about scolding me?"
"Sister Mu's child, who has been carefully taught, is so filial to her parents. She is truly well-educated."
She is cold and intimidating without even getting angry.
"My words are polite. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing his appearance, Ning Jiewei was frightened and left her seat.
"Since my aunt can't tolerate it, I will leave now."
"It's cold, Auntie, remember to put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold. At your age, it would be dangerous if you get sick."
"Goodbye, kid."
Ning Jiewei officially put the plan into action and went to the governor's office to request the two powerful officials to arrange the position of prime minister for Ning Cangmo.
Upon hearing that this was Princess Yuexi's plan, He Jingche and Chi You immediately followed it, wrote letters to recommend her, and requested for an exceptional appointment.
Upon hearing about the little sister's plan, Yan Yu agreed without hesitation.
When Gu Mengzhen saw this, he hesitated.
"What's the meaning of this letter, you two, the governor?"
"Why promote Ning Dalang?"
"Could it be that I have invited the wolf into the house again and reused people who are loyal to the enemy?"
"First, Emperor Yue changed his mind, and then Ning Cangmo gave up. As expected, none of the eldest sons of the Ning family are good people."
Su Ding made a solemn remonstration.
"In my humble opinion, Master Ning has no intention of abandoning his heart."
Gu Mengzhen put down the memorial and took a sip of tea.
"Why do you say that?"
Su Ding expressed his views.
"On the surface, this matter was introduced by Lords He and Chi, but in reality, someone is manipulating the situation behind the scenes."
Gu Mengzhen said disdainfully.
"I know, isn't it Ning Sannu?"
"Prince Di Jin is obsessed with sex and only knows how to follow her orders. He never thinks of his own. If she says go east, he dare not go west. He has no backbone."
Su Ding is respectful.
"Based on my humble guess, the person behind this is not Princess Yuexi."
"This plan is crude and rudimentary, and not like what Princess Yuexi would do."
Gu Mengzhen didn't understand what was going on.
"If it's not her, who else could it be?"
Su Ding looked calm and composed, neither arrogant nor boastful.
"Your Majesty, it's Madam Mei."
"She appears to be promoting Young Master Ning, but in reality, she harbors evil intentions."
Gu Mengzhen nodded clearly.
"So, I shouldn't do as she wishes?"
Su Ding analyzed the situation methodically.
"On the contrary, Your Majesty can just take advantage of the situation."
"Princess Yuexi has repeatedly used surprising tactics to block Young Master Ning's path to the imperial court. Now, a great opportunity has presented itself to us. Your Majesty, why not seize it?"
"Once Young Master Ning has successfully entered the Secret Service, the Emperor has ordered him to act accordingly. He is more than capable of handling Madam Mei."
Gu Mengzhen thought about it for a moment and accepted the advice.
"I will immediately issue an edict to appoint Ning Dalang as the Minister of the Central Secretariat."
"You must return to the Secret Service immediately and complete all the handover matters as quickly as possible. Don't wait for the three Ning girls to notice something is wrong and try to stop them."
Su Ding saluted in response.
"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."
Secret Office.
Gu Yihe heard about the new Prime Minister, but she didn't know his name and he was mysterious, which made her suspicious.
She used a trick, pretending to go out for work to relax the enemy's vigilance, and then quietly returned to the secret office.
It was confirmed that the new Prime Minister was Ning Cangmo, and it was also learned that Prince Di Jin needed a constant attendant. Gu Yihe combined the two and fell into deep thought.
Remember, the princess adopted my suggestion to prevent Ning Cangmo from entering the Eight Platforms. Did her plan fail so quickly?
Before, with Lord Miao's planning, the princess was able to handle it with ease. Now, with the support of Beizhaotai, why is it not as good as before?
Could it be that something went wrong with the people that the princess was unable to guard against?
This morning, Lord Xu was ordered to go and protect Lord Zhuang, so there was no one to restrain Madam Mei's actions.
Madam Mei, you won't seek revenge on Ning Cangmo for the previous incident at Danbo Yazhai, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Yihe suddenly realized and roughly guessed what plan Ning Jiewei was going to use.
At this time, Ning Cangmo had already signed the secret document of the Privy Council and was responsible for training the attendants of Emperor Jin. He took advantage of the situation and seized the evidence that Emperor Jin framed his ministers and harmed loyal officials, taking the opportunity to destroy his reputation and thus establish the prestige of the emperor.
Gu Yihe quickly thought of a countermeasure, pretended to have finished her business, and went to Su Ding's office under the pretext of reporting.
Seeing that it was his granddaughter, Su Ding smiled kindly.
"Master Gu is here, please sit down."
Du Hanping also smiled.
"Master Gu, please take a seat."
Gu Yihe sat solemnly with a serious attitude.
"Master Su, Master Du, I have something important to report."
Su Ding's tone was gentle.
"What's wrong? What's the important matter?"
Gu Yihe stated it as if it were true.
"I went to the Gao residence to handle matters related to the eunuchs, and by chance, I learned a piece of important news."
"They used Madam Mei's plan as bait to lure Lord Ning into the game. They took the opportunity to eliminate the emperor's trusted ministers and suppress our forces."
Su Ding didn't care.
"That's nothing."
"They can use tricks, and Lord Ning can also devise plans. I believe in Lord Ning's ability."
Gu Yihe explained the pros and cons.
"If the person who confronted Lord Ning was Madam Mei, I would not offer any further advice."
"But please be careful, Lord Su."
"The ones who really clashed with Lord Ning were the people of Beizhaotai."
"With Lord Ning's wisdom and strategy, he might be able to gain the upper hand in dealing with Princess Yuexi and her sister. However, my Lords, please consider this: Beizhaotai is united in its efforts, and everything is fully prepared and poised for action. How can Lord Ning resist?"
Du Hanping was immediately convinced.
"Master Gu is absolutely right."
"Throw out the weak as bait to lure the enemy into the game and then kill them. This is a strategy to lure the enemy into a trap, so be careful."
Thinking about the consequences, Su Ding broke out in a cold sweat.
"So, I almost fell into a trap?"
