After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Planting a nail in the Cui family was an action Qin Yaoguang took after careful consideration and with the tacit approval of the Empress Dowager.

The situation in the court is now very treacherous. I'm afraid that there are spies of different identities hidden in the major powerful families in the capital, especially in the Princess's Mansion.

At the critical moment when Yan Changqing returned to the court, Qin Yaoguang believed that the number of people keeping an eye on her house would only increase, not decrease.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to place a spy in the Cui family.

Qin Yaoguang thought it would be better to use the ready-made ones.

However, after looking through the list Yan Changqing gave her, she found that there was no one who met her requirements.

Because this person needs to be able to enter and leave the Cui family's backyard freely without being noticed, and has to have a certain amount of power. It is obviously not acceptable for his status to be too low.

In the list provided by Yan Changqing, the person with the highest position in the Ningguo Mansion was a manager of the outer courtyard.

It does not meet Qin Yaoguang's requirements.

Unexpectedly, someone brought me a pillow just as I was dozing off.

Because of the example of the Wang family, the He family obviously realized something and was not on the same page as the Cui family.

Is there anyone more suitable than He?

He was stunned at first when she saw the olive branch Qin Yaoguang extended to her, and then a look of fear appeared in her eyes.

She understood what Qin Yaoguang meant, which was to make her a secret agent planted in the Ningguo Mansion.

Qin Yaoguang was not in a hurry. He took a sip of tea slowly, giving He enough space to think before he spoke slowly.

"Second Madam, I have the blood of the Cui family in my veins. I cannot stand by and watch as the Cui family narrows their path and everyone dies without a burial place."

He suddenly raised her head, her lips turned pale with shock: "No...Isn't it possible?"

A family that has lasted for hundreds of years, no matter how bad it is, it will not be wiped out, right?

Qin Yaoguang smiled faintly: "Is it possible? Don't you know it?"

Her words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind. She prostrated herself on the ground, "Okay, from now on, the lives and property of my family will be in the hands of Your Highness!"

"do not worry."

Qin Yaoguang stood up and helped her up with her own hands: "Even if one day the Cui family's mansion is about to collapse, I can protect you and your child."

He's hands rested gently on Qin Yaoguang's arms, tears welling up in her eyes.

She really wanted to plead for her husband, asking the princess to spare his life if that day ever came.

Although the Cui family was determined to go down a path to the end, her husband had done nothing wrong.

Everything was the old Duke's idea.

Qin Yaoguang saw through He's thoughts: "His last name is Cui, so even if he is ignorant, it is still a sin."

As the direct descendant of the Cui family, she just didn't believe that the Cui brothers were really unaware of what the old Duke had done.

Even if the word "filial piety" is enough to crush a person, if you are willing, you can always find a chance to tell it.

Even Wang asked to leave the Cui family, didn't she?

He's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't say a word to beg for mercy. She sat back on the chair with the strength of Qin Yaoguang's hand and said softly: "Your Highness, whatever you want to know, I will tell you one by one."

"it is good."

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them left the small hall one after another.

Qin Yaoguang stepped out first and stood at the door, his face covered with frost.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

She threw her sleeves hard, her anger in her beautiful eyes like a dancing flame: "Let's go!"

After saying that, Qin Yaoguang left angrily with Guyu and others.

Behind her, in the two doors that were wide open, was kneeling and trembling with fear.

It was obvious that she had just cried and her hair looked a little messy.

He remained kneeling, not even daring to raise her head, until she heard Qin Yaoguang's footsteps fading away, and then she collapsed back onto the ground.

With He's status, she was not qualified to bring a personal maid into the palace to serve.

The palace maid who followed her knelt outside the door. When she saw Qin Yaoguang walking away, she hurriedly ran over to help her up.

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

She said in a loud voice: "You scared me, please get up quickly."

He's eyes were filled with sorrow. She shook her head without saying a word, then slowly stood up with the help of the palace maid.

But her expression said it all better than words could ever say.

After a while, the news that the eldest princess had made things difficult for He spread quietly throughout the palace and was heard back at the banquet being held in the greenhouse.

Qin Yaoguang sat beside the Empress Dowager, her expression showing no sign of joy or anger, but to those who heard the news, she looked arrogant and conceited.

She looked at the lonely He and thought: As expected, survival depends entirely on acting skills.

On the surface, everything seems to be normal at Qushui Liushang.

From the concubines in the harem to the noble ladies, it seemed as if they knew nothing.

Queen Xie appeared surrounded by a crowd of people. She held the dignified eldest princess' hand with her left hand, and the handsome fourth prince followed closely behind her in square steps.

Behind them followed seven or eight noble ladies, each beautiful in her own way, ranging in age from eight or nine to thirteen or fourteen, all of whom were to serve as study companions for the eldest princess.

Empress Xie asked the Empress Dowager for permission early in the morning, and took advantage of this auspicious day of the birthday banquet when all the noble ladies gathered together to select a study companion for her eldest princess.

Originally, one of these noble ladies should be Zhu Canyi.

But she was not interested in this and had already fled far away. It was estimated that she had returned to the Zhu family.

Qin Yaoguang was thinking about this most unique and extraordinary woman in the original book. As she looked at the young ladies from various families who came forward to pay their respects, her family backgrounds flashed through her mind.

The three forces are: aristocratic families, nobles, and upright officials, and none of them is missing.

Among them, the Cui family occupied three places.

It can be seen that although the Cui family acts low-key nowadays, they will not give up an inch of land when it comes to fighting.

One is Cui Yawei, daughter of Wang, and the other is Cui Yaxian, daughter of He.

Several people away from the two sisters is Cui Yongwei's youngest daughter, Cui Lanzhi.

No matter how powerful the Cui family is now, the three of them are the noble ladies with the highest status and the best family backgrounds present.

The Empress Dowager has always liked children who are dressed brightly. When they entered the palace today, they all came for the Empress Dowager's temperament. With their good looks and beautiful clothes, they all looked like flower buds.

"They are all good kids, get up quickly."

The Empress Dowager smiled and waved to them, and the palace maids and eunuchs brought up embroidered cushions and asked the girls to sit on them.

Empress Xie took her two children to her previous seat and said with a smile, "Mother, I have just seen them all. They are all filial children."

"I really can't make up my mind, so I came to ask you to help me find a good study partner for Shu'er, so that her time in the boudoir will not be wasted."

She said she asked the Empress Dowager to help make the decision, but in fact, Empress Xie already had her mind made up on who to choose and who not to choose.

After she finished speaking, the girls came forward one by one and presented birthday gifts.

They are all hand-made embroidery, ranging from headbands and pillowcases to clothes and shoes.

The Empress Dowager smiled, accepted them one by one, and gave each of them a few words of encouragement.

"Your servant Su Qing pays respects to the Queen Mother. I wish you a long life of happiness and good health!"

The little girl in her teens raised her face, looking innocent and childish. When she smiled, two deep dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look particularly sweet.

Such a face made Qin Yaoguang frightened and nervous, and her heart was in turmoil.
