I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Ning Ning smiled: "I was originally a criminal, and I was freed this time only because of your generosity, giving me a chance to redeem my life.

Now that the mission is over, I am going back to report. There is no point in being particular about these things. Besides, there is no point in dressing up as a sinner. After all, it is better to maintain inner innocence and loyalty than to whitewash the outside. "

Ning Ning's words left Zuo Yan stunned, but a hint of admiration slowly appeared in his eyes, and he nodded.

"Okay, then... follow me."

Zuo Yan said nothing more and walked out with Ning Ning.

The Imperial Guard's Mansion is right next to the Imperial Palace, and it's not far from here. Plus, the Imperial Guards have their own exclusive roads, so there's no need to take a long detour.

However, the only requirement is to be blindfolded.

After all, this is a road exclusive to the royal guards. If everyone knew about it, it wouldn’t be called a secret passage.

Ning Ning had no objection to this, since she had come in blindfolded last time anyway.

She covered her eyes cooperatively and was led inside by Zuo Yan. On the way, Ning Ning still had the leisure to ask about other things: "Where did Shang Wenqi go?"

"He is helping the nobleman. The nobleman relies on him, and he is indispensable for such an important matter."

Probably because he tacitly acknowledged the relationship between Ning Ning and Shang Wenqi, Zuo Yan did not hesitate to answer this question.

Ning Ning understood that Shang Wenqi was indeed highly regarded by the Queen Mother: "Shang Wenqi...it wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today?"

"Of course not. Ah Qi is a role model in our eyes. Starting from the lowest...well, anyway, it's not easy for Ah Qi to get to where he is today. You will know how powerful he is in the future."

Ning Ning tilted her head, quickly grasping Zuo Yan's half-sentence, the lowest... what? Untouchables? Slaves?

Ning Ning couldn't help but mutter: "Looking at his temperament and behavior, he doesn't look like a pariah..."

Zuo Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Aqi is a pariah? Hahaha, did he tell you that?"

“???” Ning Ning was full of confusion, and wanted to ask, didn’t you say that... Well, that’s not right, Zuo Yan indeed didn’t say that. She just guessed it based on the context of Zuo Yan’s words. Isn’t that what Zuo Yan meant in the context? Could she be wrong?

However, before they knew it, they had already walked to a guarded area. Zuo Yan did not talk any more, but cleared his throat and said, "I'll talk to you when I have a chance."

Ning Ning was smart. Even though she couldn't see, she understood that this was not the time to chat casually.

The two fell silent again. After walking for about half an hour, Zuo Yan finally called a halt.

"Wait here for a moment. Don't be nervous and speak slowly. Don't miss anything. The saints will see clearly and make the decision for you."

Ning Ning didn't expect Zuo Yan to be so loyal. This guy is really easy to get along with.

Ning Ning gave him a reassuring look.

Zuo Yan wanted to leave, but turned back worriedly and whispered in Ning Ning's ear: "Don't move around or look around in this room. Someone is watching you."

After giving the instructions, he walked out with big strides.

Now Ning Ning was really sure that Zuo Yan treated her as his own.

But after thinking about it, I felt a little surprised. Theoretically, this was only the third time she and Zuo Yan had met, right? In reality, they had been together for less than an hour. The first two meetings took up a maximum of 5 minutes, and the rest was the walk from the Imperial Guard House to the Imperial Palace.

Could she understand that she was so charming that she won over Zuo Yan in just one hour?

However, this thought only appeared for a second, and I automatically suppressed it.

It's not that she is underestimating herself, it's mainly because her charm is not enough to win someone over with just a frown or a smile.

I think Zuo Yan must have trusted Shang Wenqi, so he treated her as his own.

Ning Ning figured this out and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly. To be honest, if she couldn't poach Shang Wenqi's girl, it would actually be nice to cling to him.

Especially if you are in Kyoto, if you know the leader of Qingyun Zuoqi, you can walk around like a tyrant, right?

After all, the entire imperial city is under Shang Wenqi's control.

Ning Ning tilted her head and thought carefully, it seemed that it was indeed feasible.

Of course, she didn't need Shang Wenqi to be by her side all the time. She just needed to be able to use Shang Wenqi's name when someone was causing trouble for her.

If Shang Wenqi knew that Ning Ning could still plan her life beautifully at this time, he would definitely be full of admiration.

This is the imperial palace, and the great changes in her family are about to be resolved. At such a critical juncture, she can still think of all kinds of things. Her mental strength is unparalleled.

However, no one noticed Ning Ning's grand blueprint at this time. Instead, she stood there obediently, not taking a step extra, nor looking around. Her actions were appreciated by those who were hiding in the dark and observing her.

In their eyes, this is a girl who can keep calm.

About a cup of tea later, a young palace maid came over to invite him.

After passing through a narrow and dark corridor, he did not go out, but went directly into a palace.

The palace was solemn and Ning Ning just took a quick glance and then looked away.

In front of her was a bead curtain, behind which someone was vaguely seen sitting.

The little palace maid brought her in and walked slowly into the bead curtain. There was no sound in the palace the whole time. Even when she passed through the bead curtain, it only caused a slight shake. There was not even a collision between them, let alone any sound.

Ning Ning admired the little palace maid in her heart. She was really capable. However, even though she was praising her in her heart, she knelt down very sincerely.

"Your humble servant Ning Ning pays respects to the noble, may the noble be blessed with good health and happiness."

This time she performed the standard court etiquette.

All of this was also gathered from the original owner's mind. After all, she was previously being raised as the future daughter-in-law of the head of the Ministry of Finance.

Although the head of the Ministry of Finance is only a fifth-rank official, he still has the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor during festivals, and who can say what will happen in the future? In short, the wife of the head of the Ministry of Finance has trained Ning Ning to death.

Of course, this is a bit far-fetched. All I can say is that youth is not in vain. What the original owner learned back then can still be used, such as now.

At this time, the old nanny next to Queen Dowager Shang also came over and whispered a few words, and what she was talking about was naturally Ning Ning's performance while waiting just now.

After she finished speaking, Queen Mother Shang's eyes became softer.

"No need to be polite, just come closer."

Ning Ning was stunned when she heard this, but she still stood up obediently. At this time, the little palace maid inside also took action.

They broke the bead curtain in the middle and hung it on both sides.

The scene inside was finally clearly reflected.

At this time, Queen Mother Shang was sitting on the high hall, with an old maid standing beside her. Not far away was Shang Wenqi, who had not been seen for a long time.

He was wearing court robes and armor, holding a long sword in his hand, with a serious face and eyes straight ahead. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a statue.

Ning Ning's eyes scanned quickly, and after understanding the indoor environment, she closed her eyes and stopped looking.

She walked through the beaded curtain and stopped automatically after walking only thirty centimeters. Then she knelt down again and waited for the next order from Queen Mother Shang.
