The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

Liu Jingshu stepped into Concubine Ning's bedroom and saw flickering candlelight in the hall. The atmosphere was weird and mysterious.

Although she had thousands of questions in her mind, when she thought about the pinnacle of power that she was about to reach, she suppressed her uneasiness and pretended to be calm as she sat opposite Concubine Ning.

"Oh, Princess Han, I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Concubine Ning laughed so hard that her body shook, but there was something dark in her smile.

"Princess Han, do you know that in this harem, the situation is unpredictable and one could be doomed if one is not careful?"

Liu Jingshu's heart tightened, but she remained expressionless.

"Mother, what you said is absolutely right. I naturally understand."

Concubine Ning's expression became even darker when she heard the word "mother concubine", and her long cardamom hair broke with a "snap".

The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the dark space.

Liu Jingshu was delighted, thinking that she had the upper hand, and that the next things would be much easier.

Concubine Ning waved her delicate hand lightly, and it seemed as if she could command thousands of troops.

The maid, like a robot that had received the highest order, silently brought a pot of steaming and fragrant "conspiracy tea".

This tea is bright golden in color, just like the first ray of sunshine in the morning light, but it also inadvertently reveals a subtle and strange scent like a fog in the middle of the night.

"This is specially prepared for you by me! The fragrance of tea spreads, and no one can stop it."

Concubine Ning was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. Her smile contained a bit of cunning, a bit of ambiguity, and a bit of "you have to drink it whether you want to or not" arrogance.

Liu Jingshu took the teacup and gently stroked the delicate porcelain surface with her fingers, but her heart was like a turbulent sea with a myriad of thoughts.

This tea may look tempting, but it actually holds a secret.

In the deep palace, is there any cup of pure tea?

If Concubine Ning really tampered with the tea, wouldn't she become a discarded pawn in her power struggle?

Just as she was hesitating and preparing to perform her special skill of "pretending to drink tea but actually pouring tea".

Concubine Ning suddenly leaned closer and whispered.

“Don’t be afraid, Princess Han, there is no poison in this tea. It only contains my trust in you and our common goal.

If Princess Han really doesn't trust me, I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

As she said this, she actually picked up her teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

He looked so heroic, as if he was not drinking tea, but drinking wine to celebrate the upcoming victory.

Liu Jingshu secretly laughed in her heart, but also felt a little relieved.

"Forget it. Since Imperial Concubine Ning is so forthright, wouldn't it seem too petty if I continued to be shy?"

She was thinking: If this tea is really poisonous, she wouldn't drink it first, right? "

Thinking of this, she imitated Concubine Ning, raised her teacup and took a sip.

Well, the tea has a mellow aroma and a long aftertaste, it is indeed a good tea!

However, there seemed to be a subtle sweetness in the tea, just like the delicate and complex partnership between the two people, which was sweet yet full of unknowns.

"Haha, Princess Han is indeed a straightforward person!"

Seeing this, Concubine Ning smiled even more brightly.

As they sipped tea, Concubine Ning began to speak slowly.

It tells how Ling Jinhan betrayed her, doted on Princess Han, and at the same time, hooked up with the daughter and granddaughter of important officials.

Also, she discovered that the emperor was dissatisfied with Ling Jinhan.

Anything that was unfavorable to Ling Jinhan was exaggerated.

When she got excited, she didn't forget to add a few exaggerated metaphors.

Liu Jingshu was so amused that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"So, Princess Han, we have to join forces and let Ling Jinhan know that ascending the throne is not just his playground."

Concubine Ning's eyes became sharp.

"Not at all. It can be done by playing with a woman's feelings."

Concubine Ning paused and continued.

"And I am the one who can help you overthrow the old emperor and make you the true ruler of the harem and even the entire world."

"After all, if men can sit in that position, so can we women."

When Liu Jingshu heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

Then calm down.

"My Lady, since you are able to be... that, why did you recommend me?"

Concubine Ning's eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, suddenly emitting a light that could not be ignored.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which contained three parts of confidence and seven parts of cunning.

"Oh, little Liu Jingshu, you hit the nail on the head."

She gently waved the round fan with a peony pattern on it in her hand and moved closer in a mysterious manner.

“I am a noble concubine, and although it may seem like a glorious time, I am actually sitting on pins and needles.

The old emperor's mind is as deep as the sea. How can we ordinary people easily guess it?

Although I have some skills, I am still powerless in this whirlpool of the harem."

Having said this, Imperial Concubine Ning deliberately kept the other person in suspense. As her eyes moved, it seemed as if the entire palace was swaying gently with her smile.

Liu Jingshu waited with bated breath. Although she was confused, she couldn't help but be infected by the sudden humorous atmosphere, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"As for why I nominated you..."

Concubine Ning stretched out her voice, as if the storyteller was about to reveal the most exciting part.

"That's because you have a kind of silly innocence that I never had when I was young, plus a bit of unconscious cunning.

In this harem, innocence is fleeting, but cunning can keep you safe for a while.

More importantly, there is a refusal to admit defeat in your eyes, which is very similar to my ambition to subvert the rules of the world when I was young."

Liu Jingshu was stunned and secretly complained in her heart.

This imperial concubine never stops until she says something shocking!

However, if you think about it carefully, there is a special kind of sincerity and trust in these words.

"But...but what virtue and ability do I have to take on such a great responsibility?"

Liu Jingshu finally couldn't help but speak, with a hint of unconfidence in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Ning burst into laughter. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, as if it could dispel all the gloom in the harem.

After a while, Concubine Ning's laughter gradually subsided.

But the confidence and determination emanating from the bottom of the heart are like the endless warm sunshine in spring, warm and dazzling.

She turned around slowly, her eyes flashing with an unquestionable light, as if the eyes could see into people's hearts and the future.

"Little Liu Jingshu."

Her voice was soft and powerful, with a hint of the kindness and severity unique to an elder.

“You must remember that in this harem, behind every smile there is a secret that cannot be told, and deep in every gentle look there may be a sharp blade.

But it is precisely this kind of environment that has forged women like us—tough, resourceful, and unscrupulous.”

Having said this, Concubine Ning paused slightly, looked deeply at the sky outside the window that was surrounded by high walls, and her tone was filled with emotion.

"I was once like you, with a yearning for love and a fear of power.

But gradually, I discovered that there was no pure love and no gifts without reason in this harem.

All graces are earned by ourselves little by little.”

She turned around again, her eyes falling on Liu Jingshu gently and firmly, as if those eyes could see through every thought in her heart.

"And you, little Liu Jingshu, you have that ambition and that unwillingness to admit defeat.

All you lack is an opportunity, a platform that will allow you to spread your wings and soar.

I am willing to be the one who gives you the platform, but you must remember that this opportunity also requires you to firmly grasp it with your own hands. "

Concubine Ning's speech was not fast, but each word she spoke was like a carefully carved gem, landing loudly and striking directly at the heart.

Her tone showed both expectations and trust in Liu Jingshu, as well as warnings and reminders about the difficulties and obstacles she might encounter in the future.

"So, little Liu Jingshu, are you ready?

Are you ready to perform an earth-shattering drama with me on the stage of this harem?

Are you ready to use your wisdom and courage to write your own legend? "

There was a gleam of encouragement and expectation in Concubine Ning's eyes, and that light seemed to illuminate every corner of Liu Jingshu's heart, making her feel unprecedented strength and courage.

At this moment, Liu Jingshu clearly felt her heart beating.

She slowly stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Concubine Ning's hand.

At this moment, she had no way to retreat and could only move forward bravely, fighting side by side with Concubine Ning and facing unknown challenges and opportunities together.
