Su Ningxin didn't have time to explain too much to Su Jiaxin at this time. She just told her, "Now we will send my grandmother to a manor outside the capital to recuperate. You and Su Lanxin will take care of her together."
Su Jiaxin felt a little confused. After all, Su Lanxin was the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo. It seemed unreasonable to come back to take care of her grandmother now. However, she looked at the serious expressions of Su Ningxin and Su Lanxin and did not dare to ask more questions.
Thinking that she might have to live in the manor for a long time, Su Jiaxin said carefully, "Then I will ask the maid to go back to the yard to pack some belongings."
"No!" Su Lanxin suddenly raised her voice to stop her. Now Su Lanxin was afraid that the Imperial Guards would come too quickly and control the Hou Mansion so that she would not be able to get out. If it were not for seeking Su Ningxin's protection, she would have hated it now. Just climb over the wall and escape. Naturally, Su Jiaxin won't waste time packing her things. Does the life of those things matter
Su Jiaxin was startled by Su Lanxin's sharp voice, and felt a little aggrieved. Although Su Lanxin always targeted her, they were always sarcastic. This was the first time for such a severe scolding, and she didn't understand why the elders always If you follow her, is it so powerful to marry into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion
Seeing this, Su Ningxin glared at Su Lanxin to tell her to be quiet, and then comforted Su Jiaxin and said, "I'm in a hurry to leave now. I can wait until I get to the manor to buy other things."
Su Jiaxin felt a little aggrieved and said with a flat mouth, "Okay."
The old lady's small sedan for traveling was already placed in the yard. Su Ningxin asked the soldiers she brought to carry the sedan over, and then she, Shuangbai and others, put the old lady on the sedan.
The group of people hurriedly and slowly walked to the door of the mansion, only to see that the entire Hou Mansion had been blocked by the imperial guards. "Who are you? No one is allowed to enter or exit the Xuanning Hou Mansion now."
Su Ningxin frowned. She really didn't have any friendship with the imperial guards. The main reason was that in this army that belongs to the emperor tomorrow, who would have nothing to do to establish friendship? Are you afraid that the emperor doesn't know that you want to interfere with him
"I'm not from the Su Mansion, but the Crown Princess of Prince Anjun's Mansion." Su Ningxin said directly. She wasn't sure whether her identity was useful or not. She wasn't worried about herself. As someone from the Emperor's side, she naturally wouldn't. What's the matter, but once this opportunity is missed, the old lady will not be able to send it away.
Su Lanxin, who was nervous, saw Su Ningxin say this and hurriedly said, "I'm not from the Su Mansion either. I'm the Crown Princess of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."
Su Jiaxin intuitively felt that something big had happened, otherwise the Hou Mansion would not have been surrounded by the Imperial Guards guarding the imperial city. This made her a little uneasy and she could only take two steps back to approach the old lady in the sedan.
The guard guard obviously hesitated for a moment, thinking that both of them were not easy to mess with, and the married daughter was indeed not a member of the Su family, and it was Prince An who exposed the Su family's rebellion this time. Your Majesty, there must be nothing wrong with the Crown Princess in front of you.
"I'll let you out if I can show you something that can prove your identity," the guard said.
This is quite simple. In order to prevent the master from visiting relatives and friends at the last minute, the servants will remember to bring the greeting cards from the mansion when they go out. Su Ningxin and Su Lanxin proved their identities by taking out the famous cards.
However, when they went out, they were stopped again. "You can leave, but others can't."
The other people the Imperial Guards were talking about were naturally the old lady and Su Jiaxin. They were both serious members of the Su family, so the Imperial Guards would naturally not let them leave.
At this time, Su Ningxin was also a little helpless. Even the former imperial concubine would not be able to order the imperial guards to disobey the will, not to mention that her current identity was just the married daughter of the Su family.
Su Ningxin decided to give up sending the old lady back to the courtyard first, and go to Chu Luojue to ask for a favor. After all, she was just an old woman, so the emperor should still give her this face.
At this time, Chu Jihan, who had finished handling the affairs, came here to find Su Ningxin. When he saw this scene, he said, "He is just an old man. He is just sent out for medical treatment. There will be no disturbance."
The Imperial Guards guarding this area obviously did not want to offend Chu Jihan. He had just solved the rebellion case and had made a contribution. He might soon become a celebrity in front of the emperor. Naturally, he did not want to make enemies because of this, but he did not dare to act casually. Let the people of the Su family leave. Don't tell him that he can't bear the burden. Even if nothing happens, he may be accused of dereliction of duty.
The Imperial Guard thought for a while and decided not to offend him. He said respectfully to Chu Jihan, "My lord, please forgive me. I really can't make the decision on such a matter. Please wait a moment. I will send someone to ask the leader."
Chu Jihan did not embarrass him, and nodded slightly to indicate that he would just send someone.
Soon the leader of the imperial guard came over. Being able to sit in this position proved that he was the emperor's confidant. Naturally, he also knew the emperor's plan and Chu Jihan's identity.
He looked at Chu Jihan, and then glanced at Su Ningxin, who was not wearing a veil or disguise. He obviously recognized her, and there was a trace of surprise on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
He stopped thinking about Su Ningxin and pondered for a moment before saying, "You can take away the old lady of the Su family, but you have to be responsible for guarding her. If she goes missing or dies, you will be responsible for everything. But the other Su family members will definitely You can’t take even one step out of the Marquis’ mansion.”
This means that the old lady can be taken away, but you will be responsible for everything after leaving. It has nothing to do with me, but Su Jiaxin, who is following the old lady, cannot leave, which can be regarded as taking a step back to give Chu Jihan face.
Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin looked at each other, and both sides agreed with the plan, so Chu Jihan said to the leader of the Imperial Guard, "Thank you very much, leader."
Su Jiaxin immediately panicked when she heard the conversation between the two parties, "Sister, eldest sister, don't abandon me."
Su Ningxin also felt helpless, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. Go back to your yard first and don't come out. If you are really scared, go find your mother."
[Actually, it’s the same no matter where you go, you’ll be imprisoned by the Imperial Guards soon. ] Su Ningxin thought silently, but there was no other way, but she was sure that Su Jiaxin's life was not in danger. After all, the Su family did not really create Huangpao to rebel, but just followed Prince Jing.
If Prince Jing is executed in the end, a large number of people will definitely follow him. The Hou Mansion will not be conspicuous among them. The emperor will not really behead all the relevant people and execute the nine tribes. Then it is estimated that only one person will be left in the capital after one round. If you lose half of the population, you will be dismissed from office in the end, or if you are unlucky, you will just be exiled.
If Prince Jing was frightened and retreated, and planned to hide and act later, then the Su family would not have to worry. Even the mastermind could not possibly convict them of assassinating Chu Ji because of his so-called 'yellow robe' Although Han, the heir apparent of the prince's palace, was in serious condition, it was not unbearable.
