Su Ningxin glared at Xia Mutou, who had nothing to say, and then walked into the courtyard.
Looking at... Chu Luojue sitting on the swing swinging? Su Ningxin almost dropped her jaw in shock.
Did you say it was Gu Mingxi? The appearance of a majestic emperor sitting on a swing does not really match his status.
Fortunately, Su Ningxin sent the maid away just now. After all, it would not be good if the queen let them see her.
Su Ningxin's shock was only for a moment. She quickly came to her senses and first stepped forward to salute. No matter what the other party's purpose was, it was always right for her to salute.
She knelt down and saluted in front of Chu Luojue, and then realized that the emperor seemed to be mute and did not let her get up at all.
Why didn't she think that the emperor was blind, because the other party's unexplained gaze was poking two holes in front of her.
After a while, Chu Luojue said calmly, "Get up."
When Su Ningxin heard his voice, she didn't feel relieved. Instead, she felt even more pressured. It sounded like a familiar agitation. Rather than talking to the other party, she thought it was good to salute.
Yes, she wasn't tired at all.
It's a pity that we still have to face what we have to face. Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Su Ningxin could only ask herself, "Is there something important for the emperor? Why did you come here in person?"
Su Ningxin tried her best to keep her attitude normal, but she couldn't control her nervousness.
She had no choice but to make her feel guilty. Stealing the queen from the palace could really make her lose her head. It was unreliable to rely on the friendship that had helped him ascend the throne in the past.
Who doesn't know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the most ruthless emperor's family? Isn't the experience gained by these seniors' lives enough for her to be vigilant
Chu Luojue looked at her for a long time, as if he wanted to see her inner thoughts clearly. When only Su Ning was left in her heart and her heart was in her throat, he finally spoke,
"Some things need to be handled in person here."
Knowing that it was not for her, Su Ningxin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
[I'm talking nonsense. If you don't ask me to do something, are you here to catch up with me?]
As expected, Chu Luojue was not polite and said directly, "It's not a big deal, I just brought a friend with me so that you can catch up on old times if you have the chance."
[Is this really reminiscing about old times? Haha, just reminiscing about old times, how can there be such a good thing.]
Although Chu Luojue said that there was a chance, he had already said so. No matter how hard it was, Su Ningxin wanted to go and reminisce about the past, but she just didn't know who this friend was
Chu Luojue didn't stay too long. After leaving an address and asking herself to find him there tomorrow, she left directly.
Su Ningxin was used to Chu Luojue coming and going without a trace. Not to mention that his own martial arts was not weak, and with the secret guards around him, where could he go
It's just that there's no one left when I go out every day. If I were in the capital, I would probably be sprayed to death by spittle.
"Who do you think the old friend the emperor was talking about was? What did the emperor do when he came to Daming Mansion?" Su Ningxin asked Xia Mutou beside him.
However, Xia Mumu pretended to be a piece of wood and didn't say a word.
However, Su Ningxin had a way to cure Xia Mumu, "Do you think she will be the queen?"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xia Mutou immediately turned to look at her, his eyes also fluctuated, and after a while he said, "No."
"Tell me why."
Knowing that Su Ningxin would not give up, Xia Mutou said, "If the emperor finds the queen, he will never come to Daming Mansion."
Su Ningxin nodded, knowing that Xia Mumu was right. If Chu Luojue really found the queen, either he was the one who ordered the poisoning and she would kill her immediately if she found it, or he was not the one who ordered the poisoning and she would treat her like a treasure when she found her. Offer it up.
The queen is not like these secret guards, who are skilled in martial arts and skilled in bow and horse. How could the emperor take her to the north with her across mountains and rivers
"Who will it be?" Su Ning asked absentmindedly. Although it was in a questioning tone, she already had the answer in her heart.
The next day, Su Ningxin left the palace again, this time on the pretext of buying rouge. She asked Su Ningxin to go out to play every day. It was against the rules, so the princess was still a little hesitant.
However, Su Ningxin took out her trump card and said that she met Princess Yaoyi on the polo field. The rouge she used seemed to be prettier than hers, and her tone sounded like a little girl trying to compare and get angry, so the princess agreed.
Su Ningxin has lived for three lives and is still pretending to be young. Does she feel embarrassed
No, of course, she is pretending to be young based on her ability, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Then the branch of Xueshe Chamber of Commerce in Daming Mansion got rid of the palace guards, and Su Ningxin took Shuangbai to the address Chu Luojue mentioned.
This place is not very luxurious, it is just an ordinary courtyard, nothing special at all.
Shuangbai stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was actually the guard beside the emperor, which made Su Ningxin sure that she was not looking in the wrong place.
[Being so low-key doesn’t match the emperor’s slutty personality at all.]
After being invited into the courtyard by the guards, Su Ningxin turned around a hanging flower door and looked at the scene inside. Her pupils could not help but shrink.
What she was most worried about happened. She saw Chu Luojue playing chess, and it was Gu Mingxi sitting opposite her holding the white piece.
[Sure enough, you were caught!]
Gu Mingxi paused for a moment before turning to look at Su Ningxin, shrugging with a helpless expression.
Su Ningxin quickly adjusted her mentality and said, "You are here too. It seems that this time the matter is not small."
"It's not small." Gu Mingxi repeated.
The chess piece in Chu Luojue's hand did not fall, but was thrown directly back into the chess room. He stood up and said, "Let's talk, I'll go out and take a look."
"Okay, I just want to catch up with the princess." Su Ningxin said with a smile, her eyes calm.
Gu Mingxi, the Princess of Xingyang, had a much more important position than Princess Yaoyi. Not only did she have a title but also a fief, and she was personally granted the title by the late emperor when she was born.
This is probably the reason why Gu Mingxi can still sit here and play chess. If it were anyone else, he would have been dragged to the sky jail and tortured.
After Chu Luojue left, Su Ningxin walked over and sat where Chu Luojue had just been, picked up a black stone and planned to continue the chess game.
But after taking a look at it, I couldn't help but say, "What kind of thing are you two playing? Novices can play better than you two."
The chess game is the most insightful into people's hearts, and the chess game played by Chu Luoye and Gu Mingxi didn't look like a chess game. It was almost like a random game. At first glance, it seemed that neither of them had any intention.
Gu Mingxi didn't care about Su Ningxin's complaints. While collecting the chess pieces, he said casually, "What fun is there in Go? Let's play backgammon."
Half an hour later, the two of them were playing backgammon, and the whole world was turned upside down. Apart from scolding each other, they didn't say a single useful word.
