Seeing Chu Luojue looking into the distance and contemplating something without saying anything, Su Ningxin did not dare to touch Chu Luojue's troubles casually. After all, she was in the wrong regarding the Queen's matter, so it was better to keep a low profile.
After waiting for a long time, Chu Luojue came out of his thoughts and said to Su Ning, "Would you like a cup of tea? This year's new tribute tea was brought out from the palace."
Su Ningxin quickly shook her head, "No need, I remembered that there are still things to deal with in the yard. Since Prince Jing is about to take action, I also need to make some arrangements."
[I just wanted to have tea with you, but you almost drove me to a dead end. I am crazy to stay and drink this cup of tea that is more bitter than medicine.]
Su Ningxin said goodbye to Chu Luojue with a smile on her face as she walked out of his yard, and then her smile fell.
[When you greet people with such a smile every day, why do I feel like I'm back to when I was a concubine in the prince's mansion.]
Su Ningxin muttered as she walked towards her yard. Behind her, Chu Luojue looked at her back and raised the corners of her lips, "Where can my tea be so easy to drink?"
After speaking, he looked at the person in the shadow and said, "Is there still no news from the Queen?"
Shen Zhao came out from hiding and said, "Now Xiyan's energy is focused on the capital, and there is no progress on the queen's side. But judging from Shen Qing's performance, the queen is most likely still at the tea house."
When Su Ningxin was in the yard just now, she noticed someone hiding there, but she didn't expect that person to be Shen Zhao. After all, Chu Luojue was an emperor, and it was normal for him to have someone protecting him. She only thought he was an ordinary secret guard. Didn't pay much attention to it.
"Tea house." The emperor just repeated the word and said nothing more.
After Su Ningxin returned to the courtyard, she took out the travel notes that she had not read for a long time. She had been too busy recently and had not had time to read them. She had accumulated a lot.
On the way back, she also thought carefully about what she needed to prepare for Prince Jing's rebellion, but after thinking about it, she found that there was really nothing to prepare.
She is no longer the little girl who grew up in the back house in her previous life. Even if dozens of soldiers rush in front of her, there is no telling who will die. What's more, she is staying in the county prince's palace. Now I am afraid that here Safer than the palace.
As for the people she wants to protect, she really doesn't have anyone. The few friends she has are not in the capital now. Shen Zhao is watching over the uncle Taiping's house who is related by blood. He will definitely protect Zhou Zhou in the house, even if he can't protect Su Ning. I don't really care, I don't have any feelings anyway.
The nominal Xuanning Hou Mansion, her natal family's home, was already like this. After the people in the mansion were rescued from the prison, they all ended up living in unknown places. Even if she wanted to help, she was unable to do anything.
Before the incident happened, she actually became free
Su Ningxin was absently reading the travel notes. Shuanghua walked in with seasonal fruits and said to Su Ningxin, "Girl, Su Jiaxin and the third lady in the south courtyard are making a lot of noise."
Su Ningxin put down her book and looked at Shuanghua in confusion, "Why are they making such a fuss? They still want to marry Chu Jihan as a concubine, but I didn't even make a fuss and they started making a fuss?"
Shuanghua put the fruit plate next to Su Ningxin, "Su Jia seems to be very sad. The third lady has been clamoring for you to see her, and she also said some unpleasant words."
Naturally, Su Ningxin knew what she had done. Su Jiaxin's injuries were not serious, but they were not fatal. She would probably have to lie in bed for a month or two.
Even though they are like this, they don't take good care of their injuries and are still struggling. Do you really think that this county and prince's palace has to provide for them
Su Ningxin shook her head, "I still can't recognize my position or my situation clearly."
The words in Shuanghua's mouth were not pleasant, and it was probably that she was actually scolding her very unpleasantly. Su Ningxin didn't like being scolded.
After thinking about it, Su Ning said to herself, "Find a little maid to go to the south courtyard and tell them that if they are honest, I won't mind giving them a bite of food. If they are not honest, then I won't be polite and will definitely kill them." Send him back to the prison."
Seeing Shuanghua go out, Su Ningxin stopped paying attention to the matter. She thought that if Su Jiaxin and her daughter still had some brains, they should know how to live cautiously.
In fact, Su Ningxin felt that Su Jiaxin was quite innocent. She had no knowledge of the Su family's rebellion following Prince Jing, and had no chance to raise objections. However, when the matter was revealed, no one would let her go.
But it’s hard to tell whether it’s right or wrong. This is how it is in this era. The family name is such an inseparable whole. If one person makes a mistake and the whole family is affected, it is a shock. After all, people nowadays attach great importance to the family. Since Su Jiaxin has accepted the influence of the Hou family Glory will naturally be implicated by the Hou Mansion.
The third lady, on the other hand, not only knew about it but also fed the poison to the old lady with her own hands. She didn't care at all about the family relationship with the old lady, and she didn't care about how much the old lady loved her before. She really deserved it.
Just as Su Ningxin was thinking, she heard footsteps at the door. She put down her book and looked over, and it turned out to be Chu Jihan. She could distinguish the footsteps around her, but she was a little confused as to why Chu Jihan came back at this time.
"Why are you back so early today?" Su Ningxin asked, handing an orange on hand to Chu Jihan.
Chu Jihan skillfully took the orange, peeled it and handed it to Su Ningxin's mouth, "Prince Jing is probably going to take action. The people he placed around me to monitor have all withdrawn. He is probably going to strike the final blow." .”
Chu Jihan didn't say the next words, but both of them understood that Prince Jing had been preparing for this day for so long, so he would definitely gather all his strength, and success or failure would depend on this.
Thinking of her purpose of returning to Beijing, Su Ningxin asked, "Have you found out where Prince Jing's children are?"
Su Ningxin has not forgotten that she returned to the capital this time at the cusp of this storm to avenge Chu Muwan and Chu Luoyan, the brother and sister. She must settle the matter with them.
Chu Jihan shook his head and said, "We haven't found it yet. Whether it's Prince Jing or his family members, they are all hidden deep inside. Long Wei has been searching for so long but there is no news."
Su Ningxin was disappointed with this. After all, it was a plan that had been in operation for decades. If the emperor found their lair so easily, then what else could they have rebelled against? They would have been immediately punished.
[Don’t worry, they are going to force the palace anyway, and they will all come out by then. ] Su Ning thought to herself secretly, and the corners of her mouth curved up in a happy arc.
Seeing Su Ningxin's smile, Chu Jihan's heart ached for a moment, and then he smiled brightly and said, "Madam, don't worry, they will definitely show up when the rebels come to the city, and I will definitely escort them to you. Let you take it out."
