Shen Ning raised her eyes slightly, looking at the woman who seemed to be walking in her own backyard, and turned her head to look at Shi Qin: "Who is this?"

Shi Qin replied respectfully: "This is my cousin, the prince's cousin."

Shen Ning frowned, cousin?

"Shen Ning." The woman turned to look at Shen Ning. She was wearing a blue dress and was pretty and delicate. There was a gentle condemnation on her fair and jade face, "Mother Wu is the steward of the Regent's Palace. As soon as you come up Is it appropriate to just attack her?”

Shen Ning's tone was calm: "Are you asking me to accuse you?"

"No." The woman straightened her back and looked fearlessly, "I just think your behavior is inappropriate."

"I have the final say whether it's appropriate or not." Shen Ning said calmly, "Are you the one who calls the shots in the Regent's Palace?"

The woman's face changed slightly, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "I am the cousin of the Prince Regent, Gu Yanran."

"So what?" Shen Ning's eyes were cold and hard, "What does it have to do with me?"

"you--"

"Biao... Cousin girl." Nanny Wu said with difficulty, "I will never give in. I am following the orders of the Queen Mother..."

Shen Ning's eyebrows showed impatience, and her voice became more and more indifferent: "Play chess, take the irrelevant people out."

"Princess." Gu Yanran looked stubborn, as if she was emphasizing something, "I have lived in the palace for five years, and my cousin has always respected me."

Shen Ning said calmly: "It's a pity that I'm not your cousin."

Gu Yanran's expression froze.

"Since Aunt Wu is not afraid of death, let's just kill her with a stick." After Shen Ning said this, she got up and went back to her room. "After beating her to death, drag her out and deal with it. Don't dirty the palace."

After saying these words, Nanny Wu struggled fiercely for a moment: "No, you can't kill me, you can't kill me...Princess, princess! Cousin, help me, cousin, cousin, help me - ah Ah!"

The force gradually increased, and the beating was so severe that Nanny Wu almost died. Her eyesight turned black, and her struggle became more and more intense under the severe pain. The two maids could hardly hold her legs.

"Princess, Aunt Wu is not only a person sent by the Queen Mother, but also the general manager of the inner courtyard of the palace. If you kill her, not only will the Queen Mother be unable to explain, but the people in the palace will also be dissatisfied with you!" Gu Yanran! Her tone was slightly anxious, "And cousin, aren't you worried that your cousin will punish you for being mean and vicious?"

The door was closed little by little, completely cutting off the movement outside.

Gu Yanran stiffened up and stood blankly in front of the court. She didn't expect that Shen Ning would be so indifferent, let alone that she had such a vicious character.

Looking at the closed door, her hand holding the handkerchief tightened unconsciously, and a gloomy look appeared in her eyes.

Shen Ning.

There was nothing in Nanny Wu's mouth, and her screams were like sharp whips, mercilessly hitting everyone's heart, making those who originally despised her all learn how cruel and ruthless the new princess was.

The screams continued until he died. The servants kneeling in the courtyard were all pale as paper and frightened.

The purpose of Shen Ning's family method in public this time was to shock everyone.

No matter what else they have in mind, at least after today, no one dares to show off in front of them.

If there are still people who are not afraid of death and want to try the law by themselves, it is not that difficult to go down and accompany Grandma Wu.

After Grandma Wu's body was dragged away, Gu Yanran finally came out of her trance, turned around and left Jinlin Courtyard, and soon fell ill in bed because of the fright.

"Gu Yanran is the cousin of the Prince Regent?" Shen Ning walked to the couch and sat down, "My cousin?"

"Yes." Shi Qin stood beside him and nodded when he heard the words, "The prince's biological mother is Concubine Gu. My cousin grew up beside Concubine Gu. She has a deep relationship with Concubine Gu and they share the same love as mother and daughter. But Concubine Gu He passed away five years ago. Before his death, he entrusted his cousin to the prince, and she has been living in the prince's palace since then. "

After saying that, Shi Qin said: "But the prince does not have any special feelings for my cousin, please rest assured, princess."

Shen Ning narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

She had nothing to worry about, and she didn't even care whether the regent had feelings for Gu Yanran.

That was their private matter and had nothing to do with her.

But judging from Gu Yanran's attitude today, it is inevitable that the two of them will become enemies. Since they are going to be enemies, they naturally need to know themselves and the enemy.

After lunch the Prince Regent returned.

Wearing a black robe and a black robe, he arrived at Jinlin Courtyard. His figure was tall and thin, his face was handsome and noble, and his whole body exuded a daunting sense of oppression.

Shen Ning looked at him through the window and had to admit that he was a born superior, not an emperor but better than an emperor.

Ji Yucang, the regent of the Yong Kingdom, was a famous war god on the battlefield. He once shot an arrow through the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops, single-handedly defeated the Mobei cavalry, and quelled all the civil strife in the Yong Kingdom. The rest of the time, neighboring countries were frightened by the news.

While she was deep in thought, Ji Yucang had already walked into the room and sat down in front of her: "Is there anything you need to say to me?"

Shen Ning raised her eyes slightly: "What do you want to hear?"

The attendant served him a cup of tea, then bowed and left.

Ji Yucang said: "Let's talk about punishing Grandma Wu in the morning."

Shen Ning's words were concise and to the point: "Mama Wu admitted that she is the Queen Mother's person and offended the Princess Regent again and again. Shouldn't she die?"

"Damn it." Ji Yucang picked up the tea cup and pondered for a moment, "But she has been in the Prince Regent's Palace for two years, and many people in the Palace are her confidants."

"so what?"

"The news of the killing of Aunt Wu with a stick should soon reach the ears of the Queen Mother." Ji Yucang's eyes fell on her face, "Aren't you worried?"

Shen Ning looked at him silently, with subtle eyes: "You, the regent with all the power, actually allowed the people around the Queen Mother to do whatever they want in your palace?"

"I don't often return to the palace." Ji Yucang said calmly, "She manages the inner courtyard. Although she listens to my movements, they can't go to the important place of the palace, so what if they are allowed to do so?"

Shen Ning said nothing.

The regent holds a high position of power, so it is not strange for the queen mother and the emperor to send a few spies to keep an eye on them. However, the regent obviously knows who has problems in the palace, but he has always let their behavior go.

Nothing surprising actually.

Eye spies are sometimes double-edged swords. They can detect the enemy's situation, follow the regent's every move at any time, and reveal the happenings in the regent's palace to the queen mother. But at the same time, they can also be used to convey false news, so that the queen mother and the emperor cannot judge the truth. , confuse the vision.

Ji Yucang closed her eyes and sipped her tea, and said in a calm and calm voice: "I don't have that much thought, and I don't need to use them to deal with the Queen Mother. I'm just too lazy to deal with them."

Shen Ning was silent: "Will you continue to let it go in the future?"

Ji Yucang put down the tea cup and said in a cold voice: "If you are interested, you can take the time to clean up the informants in the palace. Whether it is done openly or secretly, it is up to you."

"Where's Gu Yanran?"

Ji Yucang was stunned: "Who?"

"Gu Yanran."

"Who is Gu Yanran?" Ji Yucang asked subconsciously, and then thought of something, "Who is Yanran Ju?"

"Um."

"If she doesn't provoke you, you don't need to pay attention to her." Ji Yucang said, and then added casually, "If she provokes you, you can figure it out yourself."

Shen Ning looked at him without saying a word.

"What?" Ji Yucang's eyebrows moved slightly and he looked at her puzzledly, "Any other questions?"

"Shi Qin said that she is your mother-in-law's niece, and she has sympathy for mother and daughter."

Ji Yucang hesitated slightly: "So you think that the king should send her to accompany his mother and concubine as soon as possible?"

Shen Ning: "..."
