Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1879 - 1886: The New Palace Maid (1)
Inside Shouxian Palace
Under the influence of the medicine, Ning Huaixiu had revealed everything, including her identity before her rebirth, how she died in her past life, the events that occurred in the imperial court and harem, and her repeated attempts to assassinate Cai Wei after her rebirth... ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ซ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐ถ
Nangong Yi and Cai Wei were stunned to learn her identity from rebirth, barely believing their ears. However, despite their astonishment, they quickly accepted the news brought by Ning Huaixiu. Besides their trust in Old Turtleโs Medicine, Ning Huaixiu spoke of events that would occur in the upcoming years, even detailing Nangong Yiโs unimplemented new policies and court changes. While her knowledge wasnโt comprehensive, these were secrets still under Nangong Yiโs consideration, yet she could articulate them, even if briefly, which was compelling enough.
"Cough cough... My judgment in my past life truly wasnโt just ordinary bad..."
Following the shock, Nangong Yi glanced at Cai Wei with a guilty conscience, fearing she might find his past lifeโs actions distasteful. In fact, he was also dissatisfied with his past lifeโs indulgences, marrying so many women, all of such poor characterโLi Ruizhu, Helana, Ning Huaixiu, Jing Xiaowei, and even the malicious Luo Xue. He couldnโt fathom why he chose them, as these women didnโt compare to even a strand of Cai Weiโs hair. Just the thought made him uneasy.
However, he worried too much. In Cai Weiโs heart, the other Nangong Yi was not the same person as her husband, so she didnโt bother with pointless jealousy. Instead, her focus was on another matter Ning Huaixiu mentioned.
According to Ning Huaixiu, two years later, the Great Jin Nation would suffer a severe drought. Given this, they must start planning now to avoid being caught unprepared in two years...
After Ning Huaixiuโs confession, Cai Wei instructed that she be taken to the side hall to rest.
Nangong Yi, puzzled, said, "This malicious woman repeatedly tries to harm you, Weiโer, why treat her so kindly? In my view, it would be better to throw her in the dungeon first, subject her to every form of torture, and then execute her by slow slicing. As for her treacherous and unprincipled father, who conspires with her to harm you, I will certainly not let him go!"
Cai Wei laughed and said, "What crime does His Majesty intend to charge Ning Huaixiu and Prime Minister Ning with? If we reveal her crimes to the public, wouldnโt it be the same as exposing her rebirth identity? This matter is too bizarre; no one will believe it and might even accuse His Majesty of wrongful killings and inventing charges. Thus, itโs better to use another method to execute them, killing them while keeping His Majestyโs name untainted and calming the court, avoiding court ministersโ panic."
Hearing Cai Weiโs words, Nangong Yi couldnโt help but laugh, saying, "Indeed, a wise lady surpasses men. If not for Madamโs reminder, I might have been reckless again. I wonder how Madam plans to execute them, since Ning Huaixiu has repeatedly harmed you, we must not show her any leniency."
Cai Wei laughed, "Itโs simple. Do you remember how Empress Li was executed? Just use the same method for them, father and daughter."
"What Empress Li, please donโt vex me by mentioning that woman. I canโt even recall what she looks like!"
Nangong Yiโs smile faded, and he ground his teeth in frustration, "In this lifetime, Iโve only had you as my Empress, and only you as my woman. Any more of this nonsense, and you might find โFamily Law Servantโ at your door."
His so-called โFamily Law Servantโ referred to tickling, which Cai Wei feared most. Whenever she provoked Nangong Yi, the sly man would seize and tickle her until she laughed as if feeling like death, begging for mercy, wishing she could bow profoundly to Nangong Yi. So, upon hearing โFamily Law,โ she immediately became obedient, like a docile daughter-in-law, not daring to jest with the man anymore.
