The second day after Jiu Ranling returned to the palace, everything was calm. The ceremony of recognizing Nalan Xice's ancestors was being prepared in this bright yellow palace. The official document announcing Nalan Xice's identity was also sent to the local government overnight.
"Now, the Nalan family of Lianzhou has been promoted from a wealthy family to a royal family.”Jiu Ran Ling was nestled in the Qian Qing Palace. She read the secret text in her hand and whispered.
"The Nalan family has always been a relative of the royal family. Don't forget that there was a noble consort there twenty years ago.”Jiu Ranqing reminded with a faint smile.
"Will the situation be disadvantageous to us and the Thousand Miles family?”Jiuran Ling was not only asking about the political situation of the imperial court, but also about the business of the Thousand Miles Clan in the south.
"There's always some impact on business, but it's not a big problem. After all, the Thousand Miles family's reputation and wealth are there for all to see. Besides, the Thousand Miles family had a noble consort back then, so there are quite a few people who know about our identities.”Jiu Ranqing let Weishi roll her legs as she answered Jiu Ranling," As for the palace, how do you know that the Seventh Prince won't be our help?”
"Perhaps our ultimate goal is the same, but it might be difficult for us to cooperate in our actions.”Jiu Ran Ling propped up her cheeks and squinted as she watched the secret text turn into ashes in the fire." I don't want our efforts to fail because of him.”
"He's not a stupid person. You know better than me, don't you? I'm more optimistic about Jiu Ranxi than you.”When Jiu Ranqing said this, the topic suddenly changed," Oh right, the people from the Supreme Yin Manor said that they wanted me to come over for a chat.”
Hearing the word "Tai Yin", Jiu Ran Ling's face darkened and she snorted coldly,""Why did he come to you?"
"I guess he wants to resign from his position and let me take over.”When Jiu Ranqing talked about the major personnel changes in the court, it was as dull as how the weather was today.
"Brother Qing, then did you beat the envoy up to vent the anger of that broken Taiyin who left him in the lurch back then?”
"Ling-er, you know that even if I hate him, I won't do this." Moreover, if we can really sit on the throne, it would be a good thing for us, right?”
"Humph! I told you, he's the most cunning one! He had been sitting in such a difficult position as the head of the court for more than ten years, and no one had ever caught him. He would not participate in any party struggles and would always remain neutral. If he was willing to do something for his mother, he would not have ended up like this.”Jiu Ran Ling curled her lips in disdain.
Jiu Ranqing replied helplessly,"He is also thinking about his family." We can't force him to use his entire family's lives as a bet. Some were cunning and some were selfish, but they didn't violate their principles for fame and fortune. Only such people could live long.”
"It's really a waste to be related to him." As Jiu Ran Ling was muttering, someone in the shadows said,""Reporting to Master, the Seventh Prince has entered Cairong Palace.”
The hearts of the two people who were addressed as masters jumped. After a moment, Jiu Ranqing spoke first." You guys just follow him from afar. His martial arts skills are outstanding. Be careful not to be discovered."”
"Yes." When Jiu Ranling tilted her head, there was no one else in the huge Palace of Heavenly Purity except for them.
Jiu Ranling thought for a moment and stood up, but she was pulled back by Jiu Ranqing.""Where are you going?"
"Rainbow Banyan Palace."
Jiu Ranqing sighed." If you go, wouldn't it be obvious to Jiu Ranxi that we're monitoring him?" Why are you so irrational when it involves him and Consort Mother?”
"I have my own excuse. At most, we'll just lay our cards on the table with him and see what his attitude is. However, I really can't rest assured if I don't go to Imperial Mother's place. He must be going to Cairong Palace to find some clues. If he discovers anything…"
"You have to have faith in us." Although Jiu Ranxi was very smart, Empress Li Fei was the same. All these years, they had sent many people to uncover the secrets of Cairong Palace, but they had never succeeded. There are many things that we have hidden very well. There is no need to worry.”
" But he's different." Jiu Ranling frowned." He's Nalan Xinying's son. Who knows if Nalan Xinying left any clues for him?"”
" He can't find it." Jiu Ranqing smiled mysteriously." Even if he can find it, it will only deepen the conflict between him and the Empress." You know that the most important thing isn't in Cairong Palace.”
"Brother Qing, are you talking about that piece of white paper? But even we don't know what's on that piece of paper.”
"Ling-er, we will know when the time is right." Perhaps, it was some shocking secret.”
"I'm not curious about the other content." Jiu Ran Ling leaned on the table and propped up her chin."I'm very interested in the secret between the Empress and Concubine Li."”
" By the way," Jiu Ran Ling suddenly remembered," Brother Qing, how's the investigation of the matter I told you earlier?"”
"Still investigating."
"This is also an important matter in my heart. After I left the palace, before I was knocked unconscious, I saw the Crown Prince at the back door of General Lin's residence.”Jiu Ran Ling smiled meaningfully.
Jiu Ranqing also smiled." When the truth comes to light, it will definitely give us an answer."”
The two of them were chatting casually. At this time, Wei Shi had already finished her treatment. She packed up her acupuncture equipment and left the hall.
"Brother Qing, I'll go ask Sister Wei how your leg is.”Jiuran Ling also hurriedly left with Wei Shi.
Jiu Ranqing nodded. His gaze on Weishi was a little meaningful.
————
"Sister Yu." Jiu Ran Ling called out to Wei Shi from outside the palace.
" Your Highness." Weishi knew that this place was not like the outside world, so she naturally bowed to Jiuranling." What instructions do you have for me, Your Highness?"”
"I wouldn't dare to give orders. Sister Wei, I want to ask you a question.”Jiuran Ling leaned close to her ear mysteriously." I happened to see a kind of medicine before. I don't know if you have it, but…"
She mumbled a few words softly, and Wei Shi's face instantly turned slightly pale.
"What does Your Highness want this for?"
"It's somewhat useful." Jiu Ran Ling's explanation was ambiguous.
"Your Highness, the Wei family has a family precept. You can't casually harm people or help others harm people.”Weishi frowned.
"Sister Wei, don't worry. I won't use it to harm others!”
Wei Shi hesitated for a moment. She looked at Jiu Ran Ling's clear eyes and said softly,""Your Highness, please follow me."
