TICIEC Chapter 34.2

“Who told you I was going to burn Zhuang Fei to death?” Ning Wanyin retorted.

Tang Miaoling was stunned, “Ah, this…”

You did this in the previous life!

“I guessed.” Tang Miaoling tried to cover up.

“Zhuang Fei is always going against you, so it is only a matter of time before you kill her.”

Ning Wanyin stared intently at Tang Miaoling.

Tang Miaoling felt increasingly guilty under her gaze, but she dared not say that she had come back from the dead—wouldn’t she be burned as a monster?

“I…I heard it from Qiu Xia. She has a lot of information… I don’t know where she heard it from…” Tang Miaoling quickly pushed the matter onto the dead, so that there would be no way to verify it.

Ning Wanyin seemed to be deep in thought.

The story was told in a very detailed and convincing way; it didn’t seem like a baseless rumor.

She did not intend to harm Zhuang Fei, but what if someone wanted to harm Zhuang Fei and then frame her?

Tang Miaoling only managed to glean fragments of information and was unaware of the complete plan, so she mistakenly believed that she was the one who was going to take action against Linlang Palace.

Ning Wanyin had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

“I have no intention of harming Zhuang Fei. You must have misheard it. You should stay in Xianfu Palace for now. Once I catch the culprit, His Majesty will naturally release you.”

Tang Miaoling didn’t quite understand her cousin’s meaning.

Not to kill Zhuang Fei?

Wasn’t her cousin the ruthless killer who would stab anyone she didn’t like?

But none of that mattered!

Not only had her cousin protected her now, but she was also going to catch the real culprit and get her released. Has she finally found a powerful patron?

“Okay, I understand!” Tang Miaoling nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

…

After Ning Wanyin left, Tang Miaoling finally recovered from the shock.

Thinking of Qiu Xia’s tragic death, Tang Miaoling felt a pang of sorrow.

“Once I get out of here, I must make Father reward Qiu Xia’s family handsomely. She never framed me, even in death. Otherwise, I would have been punished long ago.”

“Master, you will definitely get out!” Cui Ping comforted her.

“With Cousin’s help, I’m sure I can get out. But even if I do, I won’t be able to live a peaceful life. I didn’t want to make enemies, but others are trying to harm me…” Tang Miaoling muttered to herself.

Cui Ping suggested, “Then why don’t you try to win His Majesty’s favor? With His Majesty protecting you, you won’t have to live in fear.”

“Isn’t that just sending myself to my death?” Tang Miaoling’s face turned deathly pale.

None of these women vying for favor is easy to mess with.

The most dangerous one is her cousin.

Doesn’t she have any idea how she died in her past life?

“From now on, I will rely on my cousin. Whoever my cousin wants dead, I will kill!” Tang Miaoling made up her mind in secret.

If you had to choose someone to rely on in the imperial harem, would you choose the one who is best for you or the one with the most power?

No, it’s what you’re most afraid of.

What you fear most is actually what you think is the most formidable.

…

After returning to the palace, Helian Qi first paid his respects to the Empress Dowager in accordance with filial piety, and then went to Changchun Palace to visit Shun Pin, who had almost gotten into trouble.

After offering a few words of comfort, Helian Qi said, “I have given Ning Meiren the power to assist in managing the six palaces. From now on, she will be responsible for taking care of you during your pregnancy.”

Shun Pin was stunned and didn’t come to her senses for a moment.

Wang Degui coughed and reminded her, “Shun Pin, His Majesty knows that Shu Fei is busy managing the affairs of the six palaces, and this time, some unexpected things happened, so he specially chose Ning Meiren to take care of you. Why don’t you quickly express your gratitude?”

The Emperor isn’t here to discuss this with you.

He is here to inform you.

“Your Majesty, I thank you for your concern, but I feel bad about troubling Sister Ning in the future.” Shun Pin expressed her reluctance in a very tactful way.

Who can trust a stranger to take care of their unborn child?!
