"Revenge does not happen overnight. Mr. Mu puts himself in danger in such a big way, but it is actually the stupidest way. Even if His Majesty is willing to help you, how long can he protect you? In this harem, I think Mr. Talent.”

Shen Ning sighed.

Mu Linqing was stunned, and was stabbed in the heart by Shen Ning. He wanted to take revenge, but what he did this time was too impulsive.

"That's what the empress said." Mu Linqing lowered his head, feeling very regretful. "But Lin Qing has come to this point... there is no turning back. People from the Sima family and the Liu family want to kill me."

Shen Ning glanced around. "It's not completely impossible."

Mu Linqing looked at Shen Ning nervously, is there any other way?

"The golden cicada sheds its shell and makes a comeback." Shen Ning said meaningfully.

"What does the empress mean..." Mu Linqing was shocked.

"The Sima family and the Liu family have many informants in the palace. If their masters enter the palace and cannot kill you, they will definitely let someone in the harem kill you. Instead of hiding, it is better to fake death, change identities, and escape from the golden cicada's shell."

Shen Ning gave Mu Linqing a way to escape the golden cicada.

He spoke again. "I will arrange a new identity for you. You only need to be patient and dormant, become a disciple of the Sima family or the Zhao family, win their trust, and let them recommend you to the court. You can help His Majesty and work together with His Majesty." Only by working together to overthrow the power of the Liu family can we truly help your father clear his grievances, and also comfort your father's spirit in heaven."

The so-called comeback means working hard and planning step by step.

Shen Ning is setting up and training important ministers for Xiao Junhe.

There were too few people belonging to Xiao Junhe in the court.

Mu Linqing was shocked for a long time before he recovered. This noble concubine is really a smart person.

"Thank you for your advice, ma'am." Mu Linqing bowed respectfully.

Of course, Shen Ning is not helping Mu Linqing for nothing. Mu Linqing holds evidence of the Sima family, and the Sima family is the Liu family's right-hand man.

If the Liu family wants to protect the Sima family, they will definitely help the Sima family deal with Mu Linqing.

Now that the control of the Yulin Guard is in the hands of the emperor, it will be difficult for the Liu family to take action.

In order to avoid suspicion of the Sima family, Liu Zhensheng would not let the Sima family's informants in the palace take action.

Since the killer couldn't kill Mu Linqing in the harem, Liu Zhensheng would definitely let the women in the harem do it.

Sima Ling will never participate, she knows how to keep to herself.

Apart from Sima Ling, there is only Zhao Liangdi from the Zhao family...

Shen Ning was also looking for a breakthrough for herself. She hoped that Zhao Liangdi would be smarter and not hit the knife edge herself.

…

It's a pity that some people just insist on hitting the knife edge.

That night, Mu Linqing was assassinated.

"Surround them up!" Shen Ning had already put people on guard, and captured the people at the scene and captured the stolen goods.

"Mother, I...can't survive." But Mu Linqing was already dead.

Shen Ning's face darkened and she looked at the captured person with cold eyes. "You are so brave, sneaking into the harem to kill people. Which palace is this from? Show me carefully."

The person who came to kill was a little palace maid.

She was wearing the clothes of a palace maid and carrying a lunch box.

"Your Majesty... this palace maid said she was here to deliver food to Mr. Mu. We... we didn't know she was here to kill someone." The people guarding the Cuizhu Garden were frightened and knelt down in panic. "My Majesty, please spare my life. "

Shen Ning ignored those who knelt down to beg for mercy and just looked at the captured maid. "Which palace are you from? Who asked you to kill people?"

The maid's face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and refused to speak.

"Empress, this is the maid from Zhao Liangdi's palace." Chuntao whispered.

Shen Ning sneered.

Zhao Liangdi.

"This maid has confessed that it was Zhao Liangdi who ordered her to come and kill people." Shen Ning said calmly. "Come here! Capture Zhao Liangdi."

"I didn't, I didn't! This matter has nothing to do with our mother-in-law, I didn't say anything..." The palace maid was frightened, and she didn't say why Shen Ning was giving her such random blame.

Even if His Majesty comes, she won't say anything.

"Did you all hear it? She said that Zhao Liangdi listened to the Zhao family's instructions and came to kill Mu Linqing for the Liu family." Shen Ning's fingers gently pinched the palace maid's chin and removed her jaw, leaving her dislocated and unable to speak.

The palace maid looked at Shen Ning in horror, her target... was the Zhao family.

"Empress! We found out that Zhao Liangdi often sent palace objects back to the Zhao family. We found this letter among the objects she entrusted to send! It is a letter of incitement to rebel. It can be seen from the letter that the Zhao family has the intention to rebel! Let Zhao Liangdi murder His Majesty!"

Shen Ning's eyes darkened and she looked at Zhao Liangdi who had been captured. "Zhao Liangdi, you are so brave!"

Zhao Liangdi knelt on the ground in panic. "Your Majesty is aware that this has nothing to do with me."

"The personal and material evidence is solid, but you still want to quibble!" Shen Ning raised her hand and gave Zhao Liangdi a slap in the face. "Where did the objects in the palace go? Let's investigate thoroughly!"

"Why don't you report to Your Majesty and ask him to send the Yulin Guards to trace the origin of the objects in the palace. If they go to the Zhao family, the Zhao family will be inseparable from this case!"

Shen Ning scolded in a deep voice.

…

In the darkness, someone heard that Mu Linqing was dead and left quickly to report the news.

…

Shen Ning looked deeply into the darkness. This time, she wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Zhao family.

Liu Zhensheng must have thought that with Mu Linqing here, the emperor would attack the Sima family first.

It's a pity that Shen Ning did the opposite. She just wanted to deal with the Zhao family, leaving Liu Zhensheng too busy to take care of himself!

…

When Mu Linqing died, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

The Yulin Guards sent 300 people to track down the whereabouts of the items Zhao Liangdi sent out of the palace overnight.

That night, Zhao Liangdi and the little palace maid committed suicide out of fear of crime.

When they die, it is equivalent to admitting their guilt.

In the end, it was found that all those items had ended up in the Zhao family's residence and in the hands of the third lady in the backyard.

"The Zhao family exchanged private letters with the palace, intending to rebel. Now that the physical evidence and letters are conclusive, there is still more to say!" the leader of the Yulin Guards asked coldly.

It was Shen Ning who knew that Zhao Liangdi often sent objects out of the palace and deliberately asked someone to put the rebellion letter into the porcelain vase in advance.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the Zhao family intends to rebel, take back military power, and kill everyone in the family!"

In the struggle for power, killing everyone may be cruel, but it is also the emperor's helplessness.

If he doesn't kill all the people who have bad intentions and doesn't wipe out the whole Zhao family before Liu Zhensheng's people come, then the emperor...how can he gain a foothold in the court?

He is the emperor, the most powerful person in the world, and he should have control over all power, including the power of life and death.

He shouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but no one in the Zhao family is innocent.

…

Royal Palace.

Xiao Junhe was sitting alone by the bed, looking lonely.

He ordered everyone in the Zhao family to be executed before Liu Zhensheng could react.

This is a very difficult decision...

Cruel and necessary.

He is an emperor, an emperor who has not yet held real power.

He must be so.

Over the years, the Zhao family has done too many harmful things for the Liu family. Everyone in their family has been living on stolen money. No one is innocent. No one is innocent.

Slowly closing his eyes, Xiao Junhe firmly grasped the wheelchair.

Sitting in this position, he must kill decisively.
