Chu Ji was confused for a while in the cold wind. Fortunately, he was sure that Su Ningxin had no intention of rebellion. He probably misunderstood half of what she said.
In order to stop Su Ningxin's boundless divergent thinking, Chu Jihan added, "What's wrong? Is it difficult to answer? Do you think Prince Jing and the Emperor are equally powerful and it's hard to tell the winner?"
This time, Su Ning was confused, [I have imagined that I would torture you to death and become the queen mother, and you are asking me this?]
However, Su Ning was very calm. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's the point of asking? We've been working hard for so long, isn't it just for Prince Jing's arrangement? Moreover, the emperor has been in the capital for so long, so he will never be in his own country." Let’s lose the territory to others.”
"Madam is right." Chu Jihan agreed, but what he was actually thinking was, I believe you. If I hadn't heard your thoughts, I would have almost believed it.
[But also, if you really want to be the emperor, what will happen when the queen comes back? Given her natural fate as a heroine, the two of us will be classified as villains in minutes, and we may not know how we died by then.]
"Madam! It's too late, we should rest." Hearing that Su Ning was thinking about the queen, Chu Jihan hurriedly interrupted, lest he hear something he shouldn't hear.
What if he accidentally heard the whereabouts of the Queen? Should he tell the Emperor when he smelled it or not? Telling him would not explain how he knew it, and not telling him would not be in line with the education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism he had received. It's really a dilemma.
So in order to avoid this situation from happening, Chu Jihan decided not to know about it at all to avoid future troubles.
Su Ningxin didn't think much and answered casually, "Well, it's quite late."
Rather than guessing that Chu Jihan could read her thoughts, she thought it was more likely that the Shen Zhao she met today could read minds.
After a night of silence, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan went out separately the next morning. Su Ningxin went to see how Mu Zhiyun had arranged the residence of the Minister of War, and whether there was anything she needed help with. Chu Jihan Naturally, they went out and continued playing their matryoshka game with Prince Jing.
Su Ning changed her mind and climbed over the wall to go out. She quickly disappeared into the crowd and passed by the Minister's Mansion like an ordinary passerby. After observing for a while, there was nothing unusual. Their servants were still buying and gossiping as usual. , can't see anything wrong.
It seems that Mu Zhiyun sent someone to control the master of the Shilang's Mansion and did not alert the servants, so neither the servants nor outsiders noticed the changes in the manor. Maybe because of Mu Zhiyun's temperament, he directly The masters were knocked unconscious and dragged away in sacks, and then had people disguise themselves as them.
Anyway, there's nothing to worry about here.
After solving the matter here, Su Ningxin was free for the time being. The secret guards did not send back any suspicious news, so it was unrealistic for her to find the needle in the haystack by herself. After thinking about it, she returned to Anjun Prince's Mansion and waited.
As soon as Su Ningxin climbed over the wall and entered her yard, she heard voices at the door. After listening attentively, she realized that it was Su Jiaxin and the third lady who came to her yard to pay homage to her.
"The person who came here is evil. They don't want me to help them save people. Don't you know that I am a prisoner who rebelled? Do you think I can directly rebel against the emperor for them?" Su Ningxin muttered in a low voice, disdainfully. curled his lips.
She can still understand Su Jiaxin to a certain extent. After all, she feels that she is her biological sister. Although her approach is not so considerate, it is understandable that she wants to rely on relatives in such a crisis.
But the third lady knew the inside story very well. She and the Xuanning Hou Mansion were in a completely equal-dealing relationship. In detail, the Hou Mansion took advantage of it. Who gave her the courage to think that she would help their family? Don't owe them anything.
They used their status as the eldest daughter of the Su family in exchange for the emperor's respect and promotion opportunities. Anyway, the emperor gave them everything they deserved. If the ancestor of the Su family died and had to observe mourning for three years, they could not blame others. Moreover, they also used this to make peace with Prince An County. Climbing into relatives, I really don’t understand what else they are dissatisfied with.
Now that they had engaged in rebellion, they actually wanted to save them. They thought that the identity of the Su family's legitimate daughter was too valuable.
She made up her mind not to get involved in their family's affairs, but Su Ningxin was not slow in her actions. She still had to deal with what she had to deal with, and she couldn't let them know that she and Chu Jihan were not in the house.
When he returned to his room, he saw that Shuangbai had disguised himself as himself and was wearing jewelry.
Su Ningxin had become accustomed to this. When she heard Shuanghua delaying Su Jiaxin and the third lady at the door, Su Ningxin knew that it must be to give Shuangbai time to disguise herself.
"Girl, you're back." Shuangbai said with a sigh of relief.
She also knew that the situation was tense now, and she was afraid that she would make a mistake and cause trouble for Su Ningxin. Now that Su Ningxin was back and could face the two people outside by herself, she was naturally relieved.
However, Su Ningxin's next words made Shuang Baikong happy. Su Ningxin, who was dressed in men's clothing, waved her fan and said with a smile, "It looks more and more like me in disguise. It just so happens that I dress up as Chu Jihan." It saves them from doubting."
"Ah?" Shuangbai said in disappointment, but he could also accept it.
Before Shuanghua brought Su Jiaxin and the third lady in, Su Ningxin quickly changed the disguise on her face into that of Chu Jihan. Anyone who was not familiar with him would not be able to tell the difference. Unfortunately, time was a little tight and I didn't have time to change clothes.
As soon as Shuanghua entered the door, she saw Su Ningxin sitting dignifiedly at the table eating breakfast, and Chu Jihan lazily lying on the imperial concubine's couch reading a book.
Shuanghua was also a little confused at this time. She now knew that someone must have come back, but she was not sure who was coming back. It could be that the girl came back, so Shuangbai dressed up as Chu Jihan, or it could be that Chu Jihan came back, and Shuanghua Bai pretended to be Su Ningxin.
Before Shuanghua could figure it out, Su Jiaxin had already stepped forward and saluted, "Jiaxin has met her sister and her brother-in-law."
Su Ningxin said, "There is no need for the family to see each other outside. Mom, have you had breakfast? Let's sit down and eat some together."
The third lady glanced at Chu Jihan, who had not looked at them, and said with some hesitation, "This is not good."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Let's sit down and eat with Jia'er." Su Ningxin said with a gentle smile.
And Shuanghua also very wisely went out and asked the little maid to bring two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
Su Jiaxin sat down a little cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, don't you want to have breakfast together?"
Su Ningxin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Chu Jihan and said, "Husband, stop reading and come have something to eat."
