After about an hour, Chu Jihan and the emperor returned to Fengyi Palace from the imperial study. When they entered the main hall, they saw the queen sitting upright on the throne, and Su Ningxin holding a big cloth bag next to her.
The two parties bowed to each other and sat on their seats. Chu Jihan looked at the cloth bag Su Ningxin was holding and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Su Ningxin replied softly and softly, "It was a reward from the Queen."
[Lao Zhi finally picked it out himself. If I don’t take it away, am I going to leave it to the emperor, that bitch?]
Chu Jihan swallowed silently and secretly glanced at the emperor who was whispering to the queen. He was relieved when he was sure that he could not hear Su Ningxin's thoughts.
As a wife, I really dare to think about anything! But it's a good thing that she thinks more, otherwise how would she understand her.
The queen said something to Chu Jihan asking him to treat his wife well, and then let them leave the palace.
It was still Eunuch Xia who escorted them out of the palace. When he walked out of Fengyi Palace, Chu Jihan wanted to ask what Su Ningxin and the queen had said, but he couldn't ask because there were people around him, so he asked Eunuch Xia casually, " How long has Eunuch Xia been in the palace?"
"As for the prince, I have been in the palace since I was a child." Xia Gonggongmu replied with this face.
"Have you never thought about leaving the palace to find your family?"
Chu Jihan swore that he was just asking a casual question, the kind to find something to say to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too quiet. Eunuch Xia was a popular person around the queen. It was not unusual for such a powerful eunuch in the palace to return to his hometown to find his family, so That's all he asked.
As soon as he finished asking, Eunuch Xia and Su Ningxin both stopped and looked at him carefully. What was going on
After looking at him for a moment, Su Ningxin withdrew her gaze and said slowly, "If my husband is free, you can help Eunuch Xia find his family."
[I thought you overheard my conversation with the queen and knew that the queen asked me to take Eunuch Xia out of the palace. It turned out that you said it casually.]
Now it was Chu Jihan who looked at Su Ningxin with a serious look on his face. He knew that Su Ningxin knew both the emperor and the empress through her identity as Gu Ran, but he didn't expect that they had such a good relationship and that the confidants and eunuchs around him could do whatever they wanted. delivered
Logically speaking, he shouldn't know about this yet, so he couldn't ask. He could only wait until Su Ningxin told him the news before asking.
After walking forward for a while, I saw someone in the distance with a group of servants waiting in the middle of the road. If I looked carefully, it was Yan Diejiu and Su Lanxin. From the looks of them, they should have been attached to Su Lanxin after entering the palace. Yu Yan Diejiu.
The two parties looked at each other from a distance, and until they reached the opposite side, they just looked at each other without making any move.
In the end, Yan Diejiu couldn't hold back her anger and scolded sternly, "Don't you know how to salute me when you see me? It seems you haven't learned the rules."
Su Ningxin, who was wearing a veil, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, making Yan Diejiu feel offended, "Why are you laughing? Do you think you are smug because you have a foxy face? You are not even the emperor." I didn't even meet her face, so I was given a marriage to a sick man."
Listening to Yan Diejiu's words, Su Ningxin glanced at Su Lanxin coldly. Only the Su family knew that she looked similar to Concubine Chen. Now that Yan Diejiu said this, it should be what Su Lanxin said to her. Bar.
Ignoring Su Lanxin's evasive eyes, Su Ningxin put away her smile and said directly, "I think it's Guiren Yan who needs to learn the rules. We are the crown prince and crown prince concubine, crowned princes and concubines by the emperor himself, and you are just a second-grade prince." A small nobleman of the fourth rank, but he is not polite when he sees us, does he not take the rules of the palace seriously?"
Speaking of the latter part, Su Ningxin's tone was calm, but it gave people a dangerous and sharp feeling, which shocked Yan Diejiu.
"This..." Yan Diejiu was speechless.
Standing nearby with a dull face, Eunuch Xia added his sword and said, "Yan Guiren, this is indeed the truth."
"You..." Yan Diejiu pointed at Su Ningxin with a trembling hand, and finally reluctantly saluted and greeted Eunuch Xia under the threatening gaze. After saluting, he ran away.
Su Ningxin didn't take this matter to heart and walked straight forward. When she passed by Su Lanxin who stayed where she was, she said softly, "Sister Lanxin, why are you so impatient? Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." ”
After letting out a slight sneer, Su Ningxin left.
Walking on the corridor out of the palace, Su Ningxin turned to look at Chu Jihan, "Why didn't you speak just now? Were you frightened by Yan Diejiu?"
"It's not that I was intimidated by that noble man, but I was intimidated by the madam's aura of killing everyone." Chu Jihan said with a smile in his eyes, deliberately flattering.
Su Ningxin chuckled, "Smooth talk."
After leaving the palace and seeing Eunuch Xia sitting outside the carriage, he finally asked, "What's wrong with Eunuch Xia?"
"Oh, it was the queen who said that when I marry into the clan, I must understand the clan's rules and ask Eunuch Xia to teach me." Su Ningxin said the words she had thought of for a long time.
[Are you satisfied with the excuse I made up for you? If I say it was because the Queen sent her out of the palace first because she was afraid of causing trouble to Eunuch Xia, what would you do if you noticed something and told the Dog Emperor?]
What is the queen going to do? A big question mark immediately appeared in Chu Jihan's mind. What should he do to make the queen unable to protect even her confidant eunuchs? Isn't she going to rebel and force the palace
But the emperor is still childless, so what if the queen succeeds in forcing the throne? If he can't support his young son, why should he ascend to the throne and become the emperor himself
Although he felt that forcing the palace was impossible, Chu Jihan decided to send more people to watch what was going on in the palace. However, with Feng Ying in the harem, it was not easy for them, the Dragon Guard, to intervene blatantly.
The next two days passed very peacefully. Su Ningxin played chess and illustrated with Princess Anjun at home every day. Her mouth was as sweet as if she had been smeared with honey, coaxing her mother-in-law to smile from ear to ear every day.
Every time he saw this scene, Chu Jihan had to complain bitterly in his heart. This stinky girl with different appearance and duplicity didn't know how poisonous her mouth was, but her behavior made it impossible to fault her at all.
Chu Jihan also specially sent someone to watch Eunuch Xia. He also stayed in the house honestly and did not make any movements, which made him wonder if he had misunderstood what Su Ningxin was thinking when he heard her that day.
Chu Jihan went out early that day. He said that the emperor got a new prairie falcon and asked him to come into the palace to see it. In fact, the emperor wanted to find an excuse to punish the Taifu. After all, the Taifu had always regarded himself as a pure man. As the former emperor's master was always against the emperor, the emperor no longer planned to condone him.
After sending Chu Jihan away, Su Ningxin slowly unfolded a small note in her hand, which was sent by Gu Mingxi, telling her that she could take action.
