"The person who came didn't say who was there, he just told the prince and his concubine to be prepared. Shuanghua has already gone to find out." Xia Mumu said expressionlessly, just explaining the matter without any personal feelings.
Even though the maid who came was arrogant and had a very bad attitude, he didn't show anything, he just recounted the facts.
Just like Su Ningxin never says anything out loud no matter what she thinks, Xia Mumu's objective evaluation method is also his habit for many years. If he wants to survive in the palace, everyone has their own different ways. Enlightenment.
Su Ningxin nodded to show that she understood, and then signaled to Xia Mutou that nothing was wrong here.
Su Ningxin is very clear about Shuanghua's abilities. She has lived in the Prince's Mansion for several months and has already had her own information channels. Whether it is benevolence, bribery, punishment or intimidation, almost every courtyard has They all have Shuanghua's eyes, so it's easy to get some information.
Sure enough, Shuanghua came back not long after, and also brought back the invitations for the guests who would visit tomorrow. It was impossible for Shuanghua to interfere as the old princess had just returned home, but she could find out the invitations sent by the concierge, so she got them easily. List.
Su Ningxin took the list and looked at it. There was nothing special about the identity of the person, so she casually put it in the incense burner and burned it.
The only noteworthy one on the list is the eldest princess Ning Xu. Although she is the same generation as the old princess, she is actually nearly thirty years younger than the old princess. It seems that the two of them have no friendship at ordinary times. I don’t know why the old princess would invite her. .
If things go wrong, there must be monsters. The old princess may make a fuss about the eldest princess Ning Xu, but Su Ningxin is not afraid. There are no soldiers left or right to cover up the water and the earth. It is not like she can only let it go. How can the bride who was slaughtered by others be bullied by them
Chu Jihan did not avoid Chu Jihan during the whole process, but he did not express any opinions.
After Shuanghua also went out, Chu Jihan smiled and teased Su Ningxin, "Madam, you really impressed me. In just a few months, you have left the county and prince's palace with no secrets."
"That's natural. My husband is also very powerful. In two or three days, he found out clearly the origins of my recruitment into the escort agency." Su Ningxin raised her eyebrows.
It's not even a tit-for-tat confrontation between individuals. After all, they are both secret guards, and they are very aware of the opponent's capabilities. Whether it is placing intelligence spies or investigating one's origins, these are the basic operations of a secret guard. It would be strange if he did nothing.
"A prize, a prize, a prize." Chu Jihan cupped his hands and said, his performance was lifelike.
Su Ningxin smiled, feeling that she had really met her match. After being honest with Chu Jihan, the two of them relaxed a lot. Whenever there was a chance, they would take out their Oscar statuettes and perform at the same time. The two drama stars had a great time. What a joy.
Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin played around for a while, then thought of business again, put away the expression on their faces and said, "Is that Eunuch Xia someone close to the Queen?"
"Well, the Queen left and asked me to take care of him, so I brought him here." Su Ning said noncommittally.
Chu Jihan frowned, "Are you going to let him stay here forever? Although the emperor doesn't seem to pursue it, it is still a hidden danger."
[The emperor didn’t pursue it? Didn't you see that Gu Mingxi was captured by the emperor to do hard labor? He just doesn't pursue it for the time being. I don't want to keep this hot potato, but what can I do? I can't drive her away. Then how can I explain to the queen when she comes back? How can I lick her face and ask her for benefits?]
Su Ningxin complained silently in her heart, but said, "Don't worry, the emperor shouldn't have time to care about such a trivial matter."
[He is currently busy dealing with people who want to take away his throne. He will definitely not take care of a eunuch.]
Chu Jihan: "..." It's so different, but it's still you!
Chu Jihan was secretly frightened when he heard Su Ningxin's thoughts. Although he knew that Su Ningxin used to be a secret guard and a concubine, and must be deeply involved with the palace, he still underestimated her involvement in royal affairs. .
He originally thought that Su Ningxin was ordered by the Queen to send her away when it came to the Queen's escape, but now it seemed that Su Ningxin knew more about the inside story.
At least Chu Jihan didn't think before that he would tell Su Ningxin, the former secret guard who had left Feng Ying, where the queen had fled and when she would come back. But now it seems that Su Ningxin obviously knows.
Chu Jihan thought for a while, carefully considered his words and asked, "He is the queen's man after all, and he used to be a very influential figure in the palace. I'm afraid he will understand if I let him stay in the prince's palace and be a careless little eunuch." Are you dissatisfied?"
"Then what do you think we should do? Let the old housekeeper go home to take care of his old age, and let Xia Mutou take over his duties?" Su Ningxin said in surprise, pretending to be stupid.
The old housekeeper is a retainer of Prince Anjun's mansion. He has watched the prince grow up since he was a child, and even accompanied the prince on the battlefield. As long as he didn't leave on his own initiative, no one in the mansion would drive him away.
"Of course this won't work. If the housekeeper is favored by his father, queen, mother and concubine, he will never agree to let him go home for retirement,"
Chu Jihan guided, "I think Eunuch Xia has outstanding abilities. If he is willing, we can train him to be our housekeeper. The old housekeeper is old and can't be here for a few more years. My father, the princess, and the concubine also intend to let us take over the house. When the time comes, we will take over the house." It is convenient for someone to have talent. You tell him to make him take charge of the courtyard first, and then promote him after we take over the county prince's palace. This will save him from feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied that we have underestimated him."
Chu Jihan's words were reasonable and reasonable. Su Ning didn't think about anything else and said casually, "Xia Mu can't do it. He won't stay here for long. I think you should choose someone else. Even He is born well and is steady in his work.”
When she mentioned Liansheng, Su Ning thought of another thing, "Look at my brain, I almost forgot. I also want to discuss the marriage between Shuangbai and Liansheng. The two of them are in love, I think." I'd like to choose a good day to promise Shuangbai to Lian Sheng, but I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten about it."
"You make the decision." Chu Jihan agreed.
Although there was no expression on his face, he was not calm in his heart. From Su Ningxin's words, he could infer a lot of information. Now that the queen is out of the palace, Anjun Palace is the best place for Eunuch Xia to go, but Su Ningxin But he was sure that Eunuch Xia would not stay here for long.
What does this mean? This shows that Su Ningxin not only knows where the Queen is going, but also knows when the Queen will come back.
This gave Chu Jihan a headache. If Su Ningxin was willing to tell the emperor this news, then everything would be fine, and maybe the county prince's palace would get some benefits.
But given Su Ningxin's character, he probably wouldn't say anything, so that would be more troublesome. If the emperor brought up the old matter again after dealing with Prince Jing's matter, it would be difficult for him to deal with it.
