Su Ningxin cursed Su Jiaxin in her heart. She might as well commit suicide, but if she had to drag her along, she would be unlucky for eight lifetimes.
After scolding, Su Ningxin also reflected on it and found out that she didn't put the gold hairpin away and let it fall into Su Jiaxin's hands.
Originally, when Su Ningxin asked for the golden hairpin from Xiao An, she was worried that it would be harmful to Xiao An if it fell into the hands of others. At that time, the golden hairpin was still packed in the brocade box handed down from Xiao An's family. Xiao An knew that this thing might After causing trouble, he was quickly handed over to Su Ningxin.
At the beginning, Su Ningxin kept it carefully. After giving Chu Luojue the fragment of the imperial edict that was placed with the golden hairpin, Su Ningxin became less cautious. After all, it had happened so long ago, and even The Zhong family has all been dismissed from office and exiled, so there should be no impact.
Originally, she should have destroyed the golden hairpin, but she was too busy at that time and had many things going on around her, so she didn't even have time to read the travel notes, so she put the matter aside.
Later, when Shuanghua was cleaning up the dressing table for her, she found the brocade box. She asked her about it at that time, but Su Ningxin just replied casually, "It's not an important thing. You can just put it away."
After that, Shuanghua thought it was ordinary jewelry but the key to the box was lost, so she asked Shuangbai to open the lock. Sliding the door and picking the lock was not too easy for the secret guard, so Shuanghua easily took out the gold from the box. The hairpin is not eye-catching even if it is included in Su Ningxin's jewelry.
Recently, Su Jiaxin and the third lady lived in Prince Anjun's mansion after escaping from the prison. Su Ningxin asked Shuanghua to be responsible for settling them in. She probably gave this gold hairpin to Shuanghua when she gave her a change of clothes and jewelry. past.
After all, although Su Ningxin doesn't like to wear jewelry, she likes to collect. Most of the jewelry on her jewelry table are priceless. In comparison, this gold hairpin is ugly and inconspicuous.
[Shuanghua really doesn’t want to see the mother and daughter of the Su family. With Shuanghua’s fair and unoffending temperament, being able to specially select the ugliest jewelry and send it to her is the best way for her to show her dislike, although it’s a bit more subtle. . ] Su Ningxin thought silently in her heart.
It's just that she is usually too lazy to pay attention to the jewelry inventory. Otherwise, she would definitely find that the gold hairpin was given away, and she would not be in this dilemma.
If she told the truth, it would be more troublesome to bring Xiao An, the daughter of the guilty minister, back to the capital. In the end, it was just to break ground on Chu Luojue, the Tai Sui.
If she doesn't tell the truth, then Chu Luojue probably won't give up the investigation easily. If anything is found out in the end, she will be embarrassed. It is estimated that from now on, her credit with Chu Luojue will be cleared.
Although he thought about it a lot, in reality it just happened in the blink of an eye. Su Ning thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the fragment of the imperial edict that I gave you? This golden hairpin is... I got it together with the fragments of the imperial edict."
After saying that, Su Ningxin looked at Chu Luojue calmly and prayed in her heart, "Don't ask me how I got it, don't ask me how I got it..."
Chu Luojue shifted her gaze to Su Ningxin and thought for a moment, "Then why did you give it to Su Jiaxin?"
Su Ningxin felt that Chu Luojue looked at her with a knife in his eyes, as if he was accusing Su Ningxin of playing such a trick. It was okay to use the knife to kill people, but it was too much to let him, a majestic emperor, use it as a knife. .
Su Ningxin hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong. You know that I don't care about these hairpins and beaded rings. I don't think it's a big deal, so I just leave them there and give clothes to the Su family's mother and daughter." When we were buying jewelry, my maid randomly picked some and sent them over without knowing it, and she happened to give this gold hairpin to Su Jiaxin."
In order to prove her innocence, Su Ningxin added a special sentence, "I said at the beginning that the mother and daughter of the Su family would not be allowed to come into the house to cause trouble, but you insisted on letting them live in the house because you said it would help hide your identity. Now, Are you blaming me instead?"
Chu Luojue thought about it and it seemed that this happened. Now he had so many things in his hands that he really didn't have the time to remember these details.
After knowing that what Su Ningxin said was true, Chu Luojue nodded, "I won't argue with you about this matter. Be careful and don't be so rash in the future."
Su Ningxin stuck out her tongue and breathed a sigh of relief. This level was over again. She was such a clever little girl.
Since the trip to the palace was not in vain, Su Ningxin took advantage of the situation and asked, "Have you found anything else during the interrogation of Su Jiaxin? Do you know what the Empress Dowager's plans are?"
Su Ningxin felt that there was nothing wrong with this question, but as soon as she asked it, she felt that the air pressure around Chu Luojue had dropped a little, and Huang Dezheng, who was standing on her right, kept winking at her.
Su Ningxin: "???" I just wanted to ask what conspiracy Su Jiaxin and the Crown Princess had, why did it seem like they had violated some taboo
Although she didn't know what was wrong, Su Ningxin hurriedly made up for it, "Gu Mingxi and I felt that the Queen Mother seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets. It seemed that the Queen Mother's death from poisoning was also related to her."
Hearing Su Ningxin's words, Chu Luojue was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why did the Queen Mother die of poisoning? Was the Queen Mother poisoned at the beginning?"
These words confused Su Ningxin, and then she remembered that Chu Luojue didn't know about the Queen Mother's death, because after the Queen Mother's death, Gu Mingxi had been pretending to be the Queen Mother in disguise, and waited until she was successful and retired. Liocai directed a wave of fake 'deaths', which led to everyone thinking that the Queen Mother's death was two years later than the real time.
Since most of the people around Su Ningxin were from Feng Ying, they all knew about this matter, which gave her the illusion that it was not a secret. Now she suddenly saw Chu Luojue's confused look on her face. Still a little uncomfortable.
Su Ningxin carefully told Chu Luojue what happened, and both Chu Luojue and Huang Dezheng were dumbfounded.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Luojue. His face showed anger but also a little weirdness. The anger was naturally because the imperial grandmother who had always taken good care of him was actually killed, and the weirdness was because he actually screamed. Gu Mingxi is the grandmother of that little girl of two years.
Chu Luojue was not a petty person, so she naturally wouldn't blame Gu Mingxi for this little thing, and it was something that helped him a lot, but it was inevitable that she would feel a little embarrassed.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Su Ningxin changed the subject, "Did Su Jiaxin or the Dowager Princess explain this matter?"
