Before Wei Yingya was slapped unconscious, her last thought was: Based on my years of watching dramas, this woman is destined to be an empress dowager! If I can team up with her, what do I have to fear from the Wei and Cen families?
…
Inside Lingxue Pavilion—
“Cousin, if it weren’t for you, I would be dead…”
The first thing Tang Miaoling did after being released was to rush to Lingxue Pavilion and wail loudly at Ning Wanyin.
Ning Wanyin said with a distant expression, “You were released because you did not actually harm Shun Pin.”
“But without Cousin, I would have died before my name was cleared, and without Cousin, the murderer would never have been caught. Cousin, from now on, you are my second parents! If you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west. If you want someone to die, I will make them pay!”
Tang Miaoling looked at Ning Wanyin with tears in her eyes, expressing her loyalty.
Ning Wanyin had no intention of forming an alliance with her, but after her pleading for Tang Miaoling, everyone knew that the two of them were very close.
Blood ties dictate that Ning Wanyin cannot sever ties with Tang Miaoling after her accident.
However, it’s not entirely without a solution.
“Since you entered the palace, you have not yet served the Emperor. Now that you have been released from confinement, I will mention you to His Majesty more often.” Ning Wanyin said, looking at her.
It’s perfectly reasonable for the two sisters to become enemies over a man.
From then on, whatever happens to Tang Miaoling, it will never involve her.
That’s right. Ning Wanyin’s first thought after saving Tang Miaoling was to sever ties with her and hand the Emperor over to her.
“I don’t want to serve the Emperor in bed!” Tang Miaoling refused without hesitation.
Meeting Ning Wanyin’s probing gaze, she stammered, trying to find a way to explain: “I…I’m not feeling well…cough, cough, cough…”
Ning Wanyin said, “Lian Rui, go and fetch the imperial physician.”
“Wait, wait… no, no, no… I admit I was faking illness, but I really don’t want to serve the Emperor in bed!” Tang Miaoling hurriedly stopped her.
“Why?” Ning Wanyin raised an eyebrow.
Tang Miaoling said with a bitter face, “The women in the harem are too scary. Being the Emperor’s favorite concubine is not a good thing. I’m afraid of being targeted and framed.”
“Even if you don’t become the Emperor’s favorite concubine, you will still be framed. Choosing to enter the palace means you can never have peace.” Ning Wanyin stated.
Tang Miaoling nodded like a chick pecking at rice: “Yes, so please take good care of me, Cousin. I will definitely follow your lead and cheer you on!”
Ning Wanyin refused: “With His Majesty’s favor, he will naturally take better care of you.”
“No, no, no, I don’t think he’s reliable.” Tang Miaoling shook her head vigorously.
Then she looked expectantly at Ning Wanyin: “Cousin, I want to rely on you!”
Lian Rui and Cui Ping were both stunned. Tang Miaoling dared to speak so disrespectfully of His Majesty; this was a capital offense.
Ning Wanyin also frowned and stared at her, saying, “I am arrogant and domineering, and I have enemies all over the palace. It is not a good thing for you to get too close to me. In the future, others may try to harm you in order to deal with me. Staying away from me will help you avoid some trouble.”
Tang Miaoling shivered in fright, but quickly straightened her back.
“It’s alright, I believe Cousin can win! Even if I’m imprisoned again, with you here, I’ll be released sooner or later. Cousin, you don’t need to worry about me. Actually, when I was imprisoned, I ate, drank, and slept all day long; it was quite comfortable. Don’t worry about implicating me!”
Ning Wanyin: ???
Is it possible that I don’t want you to drag me down with me?
I wasn’t worried about you.
“Cousin, you are alone in the harem, and it’s hard to accomplish anything by yourself. With me as your helper, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!”
Tang Miaoling tried hard to recommend herself.
Ning Wanyin raised an eyebrow slightly, “Are you sure?”
Tang Miaoling was immediately stumped by the question and weakly replied, “I’m not quite sure.”
