CHAPTER XLIII
The room was also instantly quiet because of this change, Duxue and Qingshuang unconsciously came over, Qi Qi also felt that something was wrong, looked up in the direction of Su Jie, and saw that the four of her master and servant all had a solemn look, and they unconsciously became nervous.

"What's wrong?"
was silent for a long time, and then Su Jie raised her eyes to look at Qi Qi, and replied lightly: "It's okay, it's just a halfway way to bite the gold!" ”
Cheng bites gold?
What the hell is going on?
To tell the truth, Qi Qi only knew that Su Jie was going to use the day of the flower viewing banquet to deal with the lord of Yuehua and Jia Jiayu, but she didn't know what her specific plan was, but she also vaguely knew that the lord of Yuehua had made a big fuss about inviting the platform today, pushed Jia Jiayu into the water, and even had a conflict with Su Jie in front of Concubine Su, all of which were more or less related to Su Jie, and it could even be said that they were all things in her plan, but what does it mean to bite the gold halfway?
It was useless for Qi Qi to mutter alone, and he was about to ask Su Jie, but when he saw Su Jie getting up from the beauty couch, he just turned his head to look at himself, and asked with a mysterious face: "Are you interested in going to Qingshui Palace?" ”
Qi Qi was slightly stunned after hearing this, when he went to Qingshui Hall at this time, did he look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or go to see Jia Jiayu?
But he only hesitated for a moment and nodded: "If you want to go, then I will accompany you there." The tone was resolute.
Hearing this, Su Jie didn't say much, only smiled slightly, asked people to prepare, and went into the room to change clothes.
At this time, it is almost dusk, the sun is gradually sinking in the west, the sunlight becomes soft from dazzling, and the peony in the garden is plated with a layer of golden brilliance, adding a bit of beauty, and people can't help but sigh: the sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk!
Su Jie and Qi Qi walked out of the Nebula Hall and were heading towards the Qingshui Palace, and as soon as they saw the eaves of the Qingshui Palace, they were stopped by the little girl sent by Mama Chang.
The girl saluted in a proper manner, greeted her, and then got down to business: "The two young ladies from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and the daughter of the Caicheng Bofu said that they were going back to the city, and the mother asked the slave maid to invite you over." ”
Hearing this, although Su Jie wanted to see Jia Jiayu, she also knew which was more important. Seeing Jia Jiayu is not something that has to be done now, but sending guests is related to the hospitality of the Dingguo Mansion, and it is linked to the reputation of the Guogong Mansion, especially at this juncture, it is not allowed to be sloppy!
But weren't the guests who were scheduled to stay at Tianxiangyuan today already returning to the city in the afternoon? How can there still be a person who has to leave now? And it's only at this time that you set off, and when you return to the city, it won't be dark?
So, Su Jie frowned and asked, "Did you decide to leave temporarily?" ”
If she remembers correctly, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion and Cai Chengbo Mansion both stated before that they would live in Tianxiang Garden for two days, and she also agreed and asked people to arrange a place to live, why did she want to go back?
The maid lowered her head and replied, "It was decided temporarily, I heard that something happened at home, and I was anxious to let them rush back." ”
"Something's wrong?" Qi Qi sneered noncommittally and questioned, "Did the two families have an accident together?" ”
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
After this reminder, Su Jie also remembered such a thing.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Xingnian has a pair of twin daughters, the eldest daughter is named Xing Lehan, who was promised to Cai Chengbo's eldest son, who is scheduled to get married at the end of the year, and the younger daughter is named Xing Lerou, who seems to be discussing marriage with the eldest grandson of King Shengqing, that is, the nephew of the lord of Yuehua.
In this way, it makes sense that they have made up their minds to leave on the fly.
Su Jie shrugged her shoulders, she didn't care about this matter, but turned to look at Qi Qi and asked, "Are you going with me?" Or go back to Fanghua Hall and wait for me first? ”
Qi Qi raised his hand and pointed to the Qingshui Palace, which could already be seen not far away, and asked, "Can't I go to the Qingshui Hall and wait for you?" ”
Su Jie shook her head and said very resolutely: "No." ”
She didn't worry about letting Qi Qi face Jia Jiayu alone, or Li Ling, their cities were too deep, and the calculating people were unconscious.
Seeing this, Qi Qi also shrugged her shoulders, but fortunately she understood her, so she said: "I don't want to run more, go back to Fanghua Palace!" ”
After that, he led the maid to turn around and leave, and at the same time did not forget to instruct: "Send someone to call me after you deal with it!" ”
So, Su Jie was about to arrive at the gate of Qingshui Palace, so she could only turn around and get on the chariot sent by Mama Chang and go to the send-off place. After sending off the three guests, she hurriedly called Xiao Yuan to go towards the Qingshui Palace, and when she arrived at the door, Qi Qi was already waiting for her outside the Qingshui Palace, and she didn't know how long she had waited.
To be honest, she was a little surprised.
"I knew you wouldn't call me, so I guessed the time and came by myself."
Qi Qi said as she motioned for the maid to go and call the door, Su Jie smiled a little awkwardly, didn't speak, and followed behind her.
"Can you leave me alone when something might be dangerous? Am I like the kind of person who is blessed and can share hardships and hardships? ”
Su Jie shook her head, "Not like that." ”
"Huh?!" Qi Qi turned her head to stare at her, Su Jie hurriedly changed her words again, and put on an extremely serious face, and said, "No, you are definitely not that kind of person!" ”
Hearing this, Qi Qi showed a satisfied look on his face, but he snorted from his nose and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to bother with you, let's go in!" ”
Su Jie sighed helplessly, and also walked up to follow.
Qi Qi was right, she really didn't plan to send someone to the Fanghua Hall to call her, because she didn't know what would happen in the Qingshui Palace, he wasn't sure what Lin Yi had found on the invitation platform, and he wasn't sure if Lin Yi had already told Li Ling what he had found, so she didn't dare to bring Qi Qi here.
Earlier, in the Nebula Palace, it was because she knew that she couldn't get rid of Qi Qi, so she brought her with her, but since the departure of the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites and the Caicheng Bofu took the opportunity to let Qi Qi return to the Fanghua Palace, how could she take her on an adventure with her?
Su Jie sighed, it was precisely because she knew that Qi Qi was not the kind of person who was blessed and could share hardships and hardships, so she was reluctant to tell her many things!
But what's the use of saying more? Su Jie glanced at Qi Qi who was walking in front of her, and sighed again, and could only take one step at a time.
Qi Qi suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Su Jie with a dissatisfied expression and said, "Can you not sigh like a little old lady, it's not that life is unsatisfactory, as if you can't go on!" ”
Su Jie shrugged her shoulders, barely squeezed out a smile, and got a roll of the other party's eyes, so she gave up.
He turned to ask the maid who led the way in front of him, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the main hall?" ”
"His Highness hasn't been back since he went out at noon, and the slaves don't know where he went."
Didn't come back?
Su Jie frowned imperceptibly.
