Chapter 34: My Cousin Is Saving Me!

“Should I teach you?” Ning Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Wh… what?”

“How to make your suicide look like an accident, I can teach you right now.” Ning Wanyin’s thin lips curled into a cold smile.

Facing her ruthless cousin who seemed to be about to send her off, Tang Miaoling instantly cowered and shook her head frantically, “No, no, no… I… I don’t want to die yet…”

“If you don’t want to die, then why are you crying for yourself beforehand?” Ning Wanyin frowned.

“I… I have no evidence to prove my innocence, Qiu Xia is dead, there’s no one to testify…” Tang Miaoling said aggrievedly. Did she not want to live? She felt that she probably wouldn’t be able to live.

Ning Wanyin said calmly, “If you didn’t do it, then I can catch the culprit.”

“How to catch?” Tang Miaoling widened her eyes.

Ning Wanyin didn’t answer, she just looked at her quietly.

“Oh, oh… Cousin, if you want to catch them, you can definitely catch them.” Tang Miaoling suddenly realized that her cousin wouldn’t tell her her plan.

But with her cousin taking action, Tang Miaoling instantly felt relieved.

She felt that she could live again!

“Then I’ll rest assured, Cousin, you will definitely help me clear my name!” Tang Miaoling’s pale face instantly became rosy, and a hint of joy after escaping death appeared on her face.

Ning Wanyin deliberately said that she could catch the real culprit to test Tang Miaoling’s reaction.

Although she didn’t know why Tang Miaoling was so confident in her.

But based on the results of the test, combined with her previous expression of despair, Tang Miaoling was probably innocent.

Ning Wanyin had a general idea in her mind and got up to leave.

She didn’t come here to comfort or care for Tang Miaoling, she came to test her.

“Wait, Cousin, don’t leave yet!” Tang Miaoling quickly called out as she saw Ning Wanyin about to leave.

“I have a secret to tell you!”

She hadn’t thought about clinging to her cousin’s leg before.

Because she was afraid of her.

But now she was about to be killed, and only her cousin could save her, she had to try her best to hold onto her cousin’s big tree.

“Go ahead.” Ning Wanyin looked at her.

“This… this person is by my side…” Tang Miaoling stammered.

Ning Wanyin calmly said, “Cui Ping, go out.”

Cui Ping looked at her mistress in confusion, then at Ning Wanyin, and quickly bowed and left.

Tang Miaoling blinked at Lianrui, “This… there’s still one more?”

“She knows everything about me, go ahead.” Ning Wanyin said calmly. She wouldn’t let herself be alone with anyone…

Even when facing the frail Tang Miaoling, this caution was necessary.

Tang Miaoling thought to herself, that’s right. If my cousin wants to harm someone, then Lianrui must be her henchman.

Then there’s no problem.

“Cousin, I know you want to get rid of Consort Zhuang, but she’s strong and quite agile, it might not be easy to kill her.” Tang Miaoling lowered her voice and reminded her:

“Linlang Palace is also home to the eldest princess, she’s actually quite innocent. It’s better to set a fire when the eldest princess is not there… Of course, the most important thing is to get Consort Zhuang drunk first! Don’t let her escape.”

Ning Wanyin and Lianrui were both stunned.

“What are you talking about?” Ning Wanyin narrowed her eyes in disbelief.

She wants to kill Consort Zhuang? How come she doesn’t know?

“Set Linlang Palace on fire, take advantage of Consort Zhuang’s drunkenness. What do you think, Cousin?” Tang Miaoling continued to lower her voice and actively offer advice.

In the past life, Consort Zhuang escaped, and Ning Wanyin only burned the eldest princess to death.

Now, she racked her brains and came up with this method, actively showing off in front of her cousin, hoping to earn some credit.

“Who told you I wanted to burn Consort Zhuang to death?” Ning Wanyin asked back.

Tang Miaoling was stunned, “Ah, this…”

You did that in your past life!

“I guessed.” Tang Miaoling tried to make up for it, “Consort Zhuang always opposes you, it’s only a matter of time before you get rid of her.”

Ning Wanyin stared at Tang Miaoling intently.

Tang Miaoling became increasingly uneasy under her gaze, but she dared not say that she had been reborn, or she would be burned as a monster!

“I… I heard it, Qiu Xia, she has a wide range of information… I don’t know where she heard it…” Tang Miaoling quickly pushed the matter onto the dead woman, as there was no one to testify.

Ning Wanyin pondered.

This matter was told with such detail, it didn’t seem like an empty rumor.

She didn’t intend to harm Consort Zhuang, but what if someone with ulterior motives wanted to harm Consort Zhuang and then frame her?

Tang Miaoling had only heard a few things and didn’t know the complete plan, so she mistakenly thought that it was Ning Wanyin who was going to attack Linlang Palace.

Ning Wanyin had a general idea, “I don’t intend to harm Consort Zhuang, you heard wrong. You stay in Xianfu Palace for now, and when I catch the culprit, the Emperor will naturally release you.”

Tang Miaoling didn’t quite understand her cousin’s meaning, not kill Consort Zhuang?

Isn’t my cousin the kind of person who stabs anyone she dislikes?

But these didn’t matter!

My cousin not only saved her now, but also wants to catch the real culprit and save her, maybe she has found a big tree to cling to?

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

…

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

Thinking of Qiu Xia’s tragic death, she felt a pang of sadness, “When I get out of here, I must ask Father to generously reward Qiu Xia’s family. She never framed me until her death, otherwise I would have been punished long ago.”

“Madam, you will definitely get out of here!” Cui Ping comforted her.

“With my cousin saving me, I will definitely get out. But even if I get out, I won’t be able to live peacefully. I didn’t want to make enemies with anyone, but others want to harm me…” Tang Miaoling muttered to herself.

Cui Ping suggested, “Then you should compete for the Emperor’s favor? With the Emperor protecting you, you won’t have to be afraid.”

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

Those women who compete for favor, which one is easy to deal with?

The most difficult one to deal with is her cousin.

How did she die in her past life? Doesn’t she know?

“From now on, I will rely on my cousin. Whoever my cousin wants to die, I will kill them!” Tang Miaoling secretly made up her mind.

If you have to choose someone to rely on in the palace, who is the best choice? The one who is most powerful?

No, it’s the one you fear the most.

The one you fear the most is actually the one you think is the most powerful.

…

After Helian Qi returned to the palace, he went to greet the Empress Dowager according to filial piety, and then went to Changchun Palace to visit Concubine Shun, who had almost had an accident.

After offering a few words of comfort, Helian Qi said, “I have given Lady Ning the power to assist in managing the Six Palaces, and she will be responsible for taking care of your pregnancy from now on.”

Concubine Shun was stunned, she didn’t react for a while.

Wang Degui coughed and reminded her, “Concubine Shun, Your Majesty knows that Noble Consort Shu is busy managing the affairs of the Six Palaces, and there have been some accidents this time, so he specially chose Lady Ning to take care of you. You should quickly thank him.”

The Emperor didn’t come to discuss it with you.

He came to inform you.

“This concubine thanks Your Majesty for your concern, but I feel uncomfortable having Lady Ning take care of me.” Concubine Shun expressed her unwillingness very tactfully.

Who would feel at ease having an outsider take care of their fetus!
