"Let me enter the palace?" Gu Ning looked up in surprise.

For a while, many conspiracy theories surfaced in her mind.

On the other hand, the Eldest Princess looked serious, apparently thinking of something with Gu Ning.

"Whose will?"

"I heard it was the oral order of the Empress Dowager."

Steward Zheng's face was full of worry, and his eyes kept drifting towards Gu Ning.

His own county magistrate is naive and ignorant, the palace is a den of tigers and wolves, if he is not careful, his life will be in danger, and at this juncture, it is clear that the empress dowager has other plans for calling into the palace.

"Go and report to the Queen Mother, just say that I am not feeling well, and Ning'er wants to take care of the sick."

Before Steward Zheng could respond, Gu Ning said, "No!"

Facing Princess Dachang's puzzled look, she solemnly said: "Since the Empress Dowager has already sent someone to call, she will naturally not give us a chance to refuse. Even if we refuse this time, what excuse should we make next time? Now Your Majesty still has his breath, the Empress Dowager invited me to the palace, I am afraid she just wants to use me to restrain my grandfather and uncle."

The Eldest Princess held Gu Ning's hand tightly, and wanted to say something, but in the end she let out a long sigh: "Forget it, you just go to the palace."

In the current situation, Gu Ning should not have to worry about his life when he goes to the palace.

only……

She closed her eyes and whispered: "You must remember that you must not be dragged into this vortex by the Queen Mother!"

"Ning'er understands." Gu Ning nodded his head, and quickly replied, "You put your heart in your stomach! No matter what the Queen Mother is planning, I will never let her tricks succeed!"

The Eldest Princess let go of Gu Ning's hand with difficulty, and personally sent her to the door, and saw her get into the carriage with her own eyes, and then gave instructions to the people around her.

"Tell them, it is important to ensure the safety of the county lord. If anything happens, no matter what the price is, the county lord must be sent back to Pei's mansion safely!"

"Yes!"

The road to the imperial city was very quiet, patrolling guards could be seen everywhere, the streets were empty, only the sound of their orderly footsteps remained.

Seeing the emblem of Pei Mansion, no matter what they were doing, they would stop everything they were doing and wait for the carriage.

And after the driver lifted the curtain to let them see Gu Ning in the car, their nervous expressions relaxed again.

"See the county magistrate."

Gu Ning caught this change from their faces, and she lowered her eyes to cover up the strange light.

After the carriage continued to move forward, she lowered her voice and asked, "Is the imperial army out of uncle's control?"

This time, besides Chunyu, the one who followed Gu Ning into the palace was Zihuan, a maid named Zihuan, who was a capable general beside the eldest princess and knew the news of the capital best.

Hearing Gu Ning's inquiry, without thinking, she revealed all the things that happened in the capital in the past few days.

"When the emperor was in a coma, Jiang Taifu used the excuse of protecting the emperor's safety, and took the opportunity to replace all the patrolling people in the capital with their own people, and these people were very wary of the general or the Song family. When a carriage enters the imperial city, they will be strictly interrogated."

Gu Ning propped his chin and nodded slowly: "So that's the case."

"But in their eyes, women can't play much role, and I was called into the palace by the queen mother, so why let me go so easily?"

"They have always looked down on women." Zihuan sneered, "But it is also because of this that our eyeliner in the palace can come and go freely."

"Didn't the emperor say anything about the Jiang family's private actions?" Gu Ning frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "Before, he defended the Jiang family better than the Xiongnu."

Listening to Gu Ning's analogy, Zi Huan laughed out loud, and soon she shook her head again: "I'm afraid the current emperor is powerless, I heard that he is always having nightmares these days, even Xiao Chaohui I don’t have the energy to go anymore.”

At this time, Chunyu leaned over to Gu Ning's ear, and said softly: "I heard that the emperor dreamed of the former emperor and the former prince."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

Then, a sneering smile appeared in her eyes: "There are ghosts in my heart, so I can't sleep well."

Just as he was speaking, the carriage had already stopped at the city gate.

When the guards at the city gate saw that it was Gu Ning, they saluted and let them go. Obviously they didn't pay attention to the three women in the car, but the groom was questioned by them for a long time.

Gu Ning put down the car curtain, and gently closed her peach eyes, as if she was closing her eyes to rest her mind, but in fact, she already had a plan in her heart.

The imperial city was lifeless, like an empty city.

"The situation in the imperial city is very serious, the county magistrate must be careful." The smile on Zihuan's face disappeared, obviously, the situation here was worse than what she knew.

At this time, a stooped but steady figure was slowly walking towards the three of them.

It was Grandma Sun who was serving by the Queen Mother.

Grandma Sun's face was covered with creases, but she still had to pretend to be kind, and smiled at Gu Ning, making people's backs creepy.

"The county lord has to go to the palace to accompany the empress dowager after a long journey, which makes you tired." Her attitude was very humble, and she didn't look like a close friend of the empress dowager at all. chariot."

While talking, at the corner, four eunuchs walked over carrying a chariot.

Gu Ning thought of Sun Nanny's walking posture just now, and his eyes darkened.

It seems that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also around the Empress Dowager. This Grandma Sun's kung fu is not inferior to Chunyu. She looks old, but she is actually a master.

Gu Ning waved his hand, and perfectly grasped the impatience and arrogance of not wanting to enter the palace but having to enter the palace: "Okay, don't say any more, just send me to see the empress dowager."

Her chin was raised at just the right angle. Nanny Sun had cultivated a pair of vicious eyes in the palace for decades, but she couldn't see the scheming in Gu Ning. Just like before, now Gu Ning is stable A little bit, but no progress at all.

Sitting on the chariot, Gu Ning was bored playing with his nails and yawned: "How long will it take to get there? How do I remember that the Queen Mother's palace is not so far away?"

Grandma Sun smiled, and replied in a warm voice: "The county magistrate has not entered the palace for a long time, so naturally he feels that the journey is far away. If you bear with it, you will arrive soon."

……

In the Empress Dowager's Palace at that time.

The Empress Dowager pinched her brows impatiently, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "That girl Gu Ning is just stupid, instead of testing her, you might as well spend more time on the Eldest Princess!"

"Maybe this is her fake appearance." Sitting next to her was a haggard Chu Yunyi, "Big cousin went to Yuezhou, and also went to Beidu Protectorate, and he has been with them before. I think the big cousin’s words are more believable.”

"That's all his wild thinking." The queen mother sneered, "How can Gu Ning have the ability to stir up the storm in Yuezhou and Beiduhufu? It's not that Xie Yan who is next to her is doing it alone! Xie Yan is acting treacherously, making These things are not surprising.”

However, Chu Yunyi kept a straight face and refused to give in.

Seeing his appearance, the queen mother waved her hands helplessly: "I think you are dissatisfied with her breaking off the engagement with you, but you are the one who cried and asked to marry Gu Qingqiu, why do you regret it now?"

"Grandmother!" Chu Yunyi stood up anxiously, "Qingqiu and I are more in love than gold, and I have never seen Gu Ning in my eyes! I just suspect that Gu Ning is hiding and deliberately framing me!"

"How long has passed, and you still don't forget about this matter." The queen mother had no choice but to respond casually, "You say yes, I have invited Gu Ning in, and the rest is up to you."

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi secretly clenched his hands, staring fixedly at the open space outside the hall.

Finally, the rickety chariot landed.

The figure of Nadao who got off the chariot was very slim, like the man in Chu Yunyi's memory, but there were many differences added.

When Gu Ning saw Chu Yunyi for the first time, he secretly said bad luck in his heart.

She saw the scumbag at a glance, and the Bodhisattva blessed her not to have nightmares tonight.

Gu Ning quickly looked away, and bowed respectfully to the queen mother: "May the queen mother be blessed and safe."

"See His Royal Highness Duan Wang." After Gu Ning opened his mouth, he covered his mouth in an exaggerated manner, and hurriedly added, "I made a mistake, I see His Highness the Third Prince."

"My daughter made a slip of the tongue and still looked at King Duan... Oh no! Don't blame the third prince!"

Before Chu Yunyi could speak, he was trembling with anger at Gu Ning's words.

It has been more than half a year since he was deprived of his title, and it was all caused by the woman in front of him. Now she calls the wrong title one after another, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she did it on purpose.

"The memory of the county lord of Changning is not very good." Chu Yunyi said sadly, "I need this king to recall for you what my title is..."

"It was you and Gu Qingqiu who hooked up and committed adultery at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. They almost broke the Empress Dowager's body, and even smeared the face of the royal family. In addition, the emperor does not show favoritism, in order to give justice to the courtiers. That's why your title was taken away." Gu Ning said solemnly, "If His Royal Highness the Third Prince forgot, I can tell you in detail what happened on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. If you don't think it's enough, you can ask Those ministers and their families come into the palace to keep the things that remind you of that day!"

Chu Yunyi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he clenched his hands tightly. If not for the remaining reason, he would have thrown this woman who had repeatedly provoked him into the animal garden!

Gu Ning put his arms around his chest, raised his chin, looked at Chu Yunyi out of the corner of his eye, and was extremely arrogant.

Behind her is the entire Pei family, not to mention Chu Yunyi, even the emperor has to give the Pei family some face, so why is she afraid?With the backing of the mountain, she will not let herself suffer any grievances in Chu Yunyi's hands.

What's more... Gu Ning's eyes flashed an imperceptible dark light, which connected Chu Yunyi with the matter that the queen mother called her into the palace today, which was enough for her to infer that Chu Yunyi suspected her.

The more arrogant you are, the more you can dispel their suspicions.

Pretending to be a little white lotus is not as fun as pretending to be a king's flower!
