Seeing everyone pointing their swords at her, the princess who was hiding behind the grass was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on her back, but she still forced herself to be calm and said, "Don't do it, it's me."
As he spoke, he slowly walked out and showed his figure in front of the emperor.
The princess originally thought she had seen the wrong figure outside, but she really couldn't sleep, so she walked out of the inn to take a look. If she saw the wrong figure, she would just treat it as a walk.
Unexpectedly, she actually heard someone talking after she came down, but the other person's voice was very low, and she couldn't hear clearly from a distance.
Looking at the woodshed with a row of debris behind the inn, she walked around to the back of the woodshed and approached the two people talking.
Unexpectedly, he heard his daughter-in-law's voice. In surprise, he stepped on a dead branch and was discovered by them.
"Mother concubine!" Su Ningxin pretended to be surprised, her acting skills were all up instantly, with a look of panic on her face, and she explained helplessly,
"Mother, please listen to me, I am not, not..."
Seeing Su Ning's anxious smile turned red and her hands were waving helplessly in front of her, the princess comforted her, "It's okay, my mother did not misunderstand. Don't worry."
After hearing what the princess said, Su Ningxin felt relieved and said movedly, "Thank you, concubine. He and I are just, just..."
Su Ningxin did not dare to say anything else, and cautiously glanced at the emperor, as if she was afraid that he would convict him.
Seeing Su Ningxin's performance, the emperor on the side secretly frowned. Her acting skills have improved a lot. If he hadn't known her and knew her nature, he would have been deceived by her. .
In fact, they noticed it when the princess approached the two of them. After all, both of them were highly skilled in martial arts. How could an ordinary person listen to their conversation without any precautions
That's why Su Ningxin suddenly changed the subject and said, "Although we are destined to have a relationship, I have a family now, so it's not good to meet in the middle of the night."
Wasn't it to clear up the relationship and prove to the princess that he never gave her son an emerald crown? If the princess misunderstood her relationship with the emperor, why not drag her to the pig cage
She really knew nothing about these princesses, and she also knew that Su Ning was in trouble, so she spoke again, "I believe you, concubine. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Seeing Su Ningxin nodding obediently, the princess turned to look at the emperor. Even though she was a little scared, she mustered up the courage to face the emperor and said without being humble or arrogant, "I have seen the emperor, but I don't know what the emperor has to say so late at night? "
The emperor calmly stood with his hands behind his back, "Princess Anjun doesn't need to be polite. I think the princess knows the identity of Concubine Chen?"
"My wife does know, but now that Ning'er has married into our Prince's Palace, naturally she can only be the Crown Princess of the Prince's Palace, and the eldest lady of the Marquis Xuanning's Palace."
The emperor smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, princess. I'm not here to investigate Concubine Chen's fake death and leaving the palace. I'm just here to ask her some questions."
Su Ningxin turned her head and glared at the emperor, [Fake your own death and leave the palace? Are you still pursuing it? Wasn't it planned by you?]
After hearing the emperor's words, the princess thought to herself. It seemed that her guess was correct. Ning'er was severely suppressed by the emperor and queen in the palace, so she faked her death and left the palace.
She also grew up in a prince's family since she was a child, and she also understood the affairs in the backyard. Concubine Chen had a poor background and had no support behind her. No matter how glamorous she looked, she would definitely suffer a lot of grievances secretly.
This is true for ordinary people, let alone the imperial palace.
"I wonder what the emperor wants to ask about. Maybe my wife can help." The princess said again.
"Oh?" The emperor looked at the princess with a captivating look, giving people a great sense of oppression, "Does the princess know where the queen has gone?"
The princess was shocked, queen? They, the royal relatives, all have some information channels about the affairs in the palace, and they also know that the queen likes to be petty and likes to return to her parents' home. Could it be that the queen has run away again
But why is it related to Su Ningxin? Thinking about the princess, she couldn't help but look at Su Ningxin.
When the two people's eyes fell on her, Su Ningxin was not afraid at all. She immediately fell into the drama and shook her head in panic.
"Mother concubine~" Su Ningxin said pitifully, "I have met the queen twice, but the queen summoned me both times. I was still wearing a veil, so the queen may not have recognized me."
After a pause, Su Ningxin was afraid that she would not be trusted and added, "Besides, I am just a boudoir woman. After leaving the palace, I can no longer interfere with the palace. How can I know where the queen has gone? I really don't care about the queen leaving the palace." Don’t know anything about it.”
The princess nodded and felt that what Su Ningxin said made sense. She had been in the palace since she got married. She had no time to take care of the queen. Moreover, if she had someone to interfere in other matters, she would not be able to hide from the palace's spy.
So the princess confidently said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have also heard that Ning'er doesn't know where the queen is. You have time to spend here, so why not send someone to look elsewhere."
Although the princess has some instinctive fear when facing the emperor, she is not as frightened as ordinary people. After all, the emperor is still young, and in terms of seniority, he still calls himself the emperor's aunt.
What's more, Prince Anjun is in charge of Daming Mansion and has an army in his hands. It is the main force to resist Dayong in the north. As long as there is no rebellion in their family, the emperor will not touch them easily. This also makes the princess in front of the emperor. A bit tougher than others.
The emperor gave Su Ningxin a meaningful look, then cupped his hands and said, "The princess is right, so I will leave first."
Seeing the emperor flying over the back wall of the inn, and the secret guard who had just pointed his sword at her also left, the princess finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as she relaxed, her legs felt a little weak and she fell to the ground. Fortunately, Su Ningxin was prepared and hurried to her side to support her.
"Be careful, concubine!" Su Ningxin exclaimed. While supporting the princess, she also held her wrist with her hands. After diagnosing her, she was relieved to see that she had not moved her fetus.
With the help of Su Ningxin's strength to stand firm, the princess said, "It's okay, let's go back first."
"Yes." Su Ningxin nodded in agreement, and then helped the princess back to the room upstairs.
Sitting on the chair in Su Ningxin's room, holding the calming tea that Su Ningxin made for her, the princess felt that the world around her became more real.
Looking at Su Ningxin who was sitting uneasily across from her, the princess asked, "Ning'er, tell the truth to mother and concubine, do you really not know about the queen?"
Su Ningxin looked at the princess hesitantly, and after their eyes met for a while, she lowered her head guiltily.
