Su Ningxin's expression changed, and after half a moment she said to Shuanghua, "Go find Shuangbai and ask her to go to the princess's room, and then take Xiao An back to your room. No matter what sound you hear, don't come out."
"Yes, I understand." Shuanghua responded and quickly retreated.
Su Ningxin paced back and forth for a while, then walked out of the door with a normal expression on her face, thinking about the princess's room.
She thought of the martial arts expert she found in the guest room when she first entered the inn. At that time, she didn't let them out because she didn't want to cause trouble. Was her decision wrong? If they had taken action directly at that time, it would have been worse than hiding in It's much better to wait in the dark for an opportunity.
Su Ningxin shook her head. She was not the kind of person who would take responsibility for anything that happened. It was obvious that if those people had really planned everything, they would never be kicked out of the inn. What ruined the plan was that now they didn't know who they were going for.
Su Ningxin put her hands in front of her body and walked towards the princess's room with dignified steps. When she passed the room of the highly skilled martial artist, her steps did not change, but she listened intently to what was going on inside. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything and didn't listen. There was someone inside.
Walking to the princess's room, Su Ningxin knocked on the door, "Concubine, it's me."
Soon the princess's maid came and opened the door. Su Ningxin glanced at the maid as she passed by, and then walked straight to the princess's bed. The princess must have been planning to take anti-fetal medicine, but because of Su Ningxin's arrival, she The medicine was put aside.
Su Ningxin's eyes rested on the bowl for a moment, then she naturally looked away, sat on the bedside and asked with concern, "How do you feel, concubine? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
The princess smiled gently and said, "What's wrong with you? If you hadn't been diagnosed with pregnancy, I wouldn't have known about it. My food and clothing were not the same as usual, but now that I've been diagnosed, I've become more delicate." "
As the princess said this, her hand subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, with a kind smile in her eyes.
"Isn't father here?" Su Ningxin looked around and asked.
"He went out and said he wanted to find some blood bird's nests." The princess said helplessly, then glanced at Hongzhu who was standing aside and complained, "It's not because you are too talkative and said that the bird's nests he brought out are almost finished. Where can you find bird's nests in a small town, let alone blood bird's nests which are extremely rare."
Su Ningxin smiled, "My father loves my mother and concubine."
"The youngest concubine in the house is nine years old. He is like this because he has not been born for a long time." The princess said casually, without any emotional fluctuations.
The red candle on the side reminded, "Princess, the medicine is about to get cold."
The princess had a flash of dissatisfaction because of Hongzhu's interruption, but she had no intention of reprimanding the servant in front of others, so she smiled and said to Su Ningxin, "I think I'm in good health and don't need this anti-fetal medicine at all." , but their father and son are not at ease."
As she said this, she was about to pick up the bowl of medicine and drink it, but was stopped by Su Ningxin, "Concubine, wait a moment."
The princess looked over in confusion, but there was a dim light shining in Hongzhu's eyes, which Su Ningxin could see clearly.
Su Ningxin looked at the princess with a smile, "Mother, I think yesterday's prescription was not good. Now that you are young, you don't need such a powerful prescription. I want to smell the fragrance of this medicine and then consider it."
"That makes sense. I also think this medicine is too bitter." The princess said and handed the medicine bowl to Su Ningxin.
Su Ningxin said helplessly, "Good medicine is bitter. Even if the medicine is less powerful, it doesn't matter whether it is bitter or not."
While talking, Su Ningxin put the medicine bowl in front of her and smelled it. What surprised her was that the bowl of medicine didn't seem to have been filled with anything else. But looking at the expression on the red candle, there must be something wrong with the medicine.
[Did I not smell it? Then blow her up.]
Thinking like this, Su Ningxin slowly put down the medicine bowl and looked at Hongzhu with a cold expression, "Did you make this medicine?"
The princess noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, but just watched what Su Ningxin was planning to do without saying anything. Based on her understanding of Su Ningxin these days, she definitely didn't want to reprimand her maid to give her mother-in-law authority.
If so, then this decisive move comes too late.
Hongzhu looked at Su Ningxin, held the corners of her clothes with both hands and released them, and then said calmly, "This slave is the one who endured it."
"You are so brave! How dare you poison your mother-in-law." Su Ningxin suddenly got angry, and as she spoke, she smashed the medicine bowl in front of Hongzhu.
Hongzhu suddenly panicked, with a look of disbelief on her face, "How... how is it possible? How could you smell it..."
At this point, Hongzhu's words stopped abruptly, and she seemed to realize something. She looked at Su Ningxin with a sinister look in her eyes, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Hongzhu also made a prompt decision, took out a very short dagger from her waist, and came directly towards the two of them. Judging from her body skills, she must have practiced martial arts.
Generally, people who practice martial arts will have different postures and steps from ordinary people. Only those specialized secret guards and killers can train people who know martial arts to walk like ordinary people. It is not known which organization's killer or which secret agent she is. guard.
"Ahhh..." Seeing Hongzhu rushing over, Su Ningxin yelled in panic, looking frightened. But if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are particularly calm, even with a little contempt. Although the princess behind her was pale, she still followed the upbringing of a lady and did not scream out of control.
Su Ningxin could see clearly that although Hongzhu's eyes were full of hatred when she looked at her, the target of her assassination was still the princess, but if she got her way, she would also stab herself.
While Su Ningxin screamed, she took advantage of others not paying attention and pulled a bead from the tassel of her purse around her waist, flicking it towards Hongzhu's wrist at a hidden angle.
She didn't notice it until the bead was almost close to the red candle, but she had no time to dodge. She could only let go of the dagger due to the pain in her wrist, and she stumbled a bit.
Originally, there were secret guards from Anjun Prince's Palace in the inn, but they were all around the master's room. At this time, because of Su Ningxin's scream, they had already rushed over. Hongzhu didn't dare to stay longer because of his mistake, and turned around. And when he left, he didn't forget to kick the dagger off the ground, and then reached out to catch it.
Su Ningxin rubbed her hand on the remaining beads on her waist, and finally let go. It was easy for her to keep Hongzhu, but it was not worth exposing her martial arts to such a small role.
I just don’t know how good the secret guards of Anjun Prince’s Mansion are and whether they can keep Hongzhu.
