Xiao Ningzi was slightly discolored, lowered his head and said: "Thanks to the queen's mother, the slave is worthy of it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Ruo had already said lightly: "Is it ashamed to accept it?" Not necessarily, this palace saw that Ning Gonggong had just risen to the rank and came to the palace to show his majesty, and the few of them didn't even dare to breathe, which was really good! ”

Xiao Ningzi heard the sharp edge from the seemingly casual words, and hurriedly lowered her body a little, and said with a little trepidation: "Don't misunderstand, even if you borrow a few dares from the slaves, you don't dare to have a trace of disrespect for you, let alone show the word majestic." ”

"Really?" Ling Ruo sneered, of course she knew the habit of talking to people and talking about ghosts in the palace, if it weren't for her own rightful favor, Xiao Ningzi would have already given her face now, how could she be so respectful, she didn't go deeper, and turned her head slightly to Yang Hai, who was holding her hand, and said, "Let's go." ”

"Huh!" Yang Hai agreed and helped Ling Ruo to walk towards the main hall, and the rest of the palace people followed, and all the way over, no one paid attention to Xiao Ningzi and hung him there, neither advancing nor retreating.

The little eunuch who came with Xiao Ningzi said, "Father-in-law Ning, let's go back." ”

"What are you going to do back?" Being ignored like this by Ling Ruo, Xiao Ningzi's heart was unhappy, and this tone was naturally not much better, "Chengqian Palace went back without entering, and when the master asked, how would he answer?" ”

The little eunuch shrank his shoulders and said embarrassedly: "But you look at Concubine Xi like that, it is clear that she intends to embarrass Gonggong Ning, even if you say it, she will not let you search the palace, it is better to tell the master truthfully and ask her to make decisions for us." "The words of the little eunuch are not unreasonable, they are just subordinates, although the prime minister is a seven-grade official, but that is for ordinary people, it is not the same nodding when they really meet the powerful. The palace is also like this, Concubine Xi is now popular, who dares not to sell her a little face, and who dares to search the palace in front of her.

Xiao Ningzi naturally understood this, but he was really unwilling to let him go home empty-handed, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and followed.

At that time, Ling Ruo was already sitting in the main hall, holding the fragrant tea brought by the palace people and drinking it slowly, and when he saw Xiao Ningzi coming in, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth behind the tea cup.

She really didn't pay much attention to the little eunuch next to the queen before, but she was such an inconspicuous person, forcing Sanfu into a corner, and Jade's life and death were unknown, which was really a good skill.

Thinking like this, he didn't look at Xiao Ningzi squarely, but handed the teacup to Shui Xiu's hand and said, "Tell the people in the tea room to make flower tea next time and put a few wolfberries in it." ”

Shui Xiu took it and said: "The slave didn't see many wolfberries last time, so I have to ask the Internal Affairs Office to send some more." ”

"Well, remember that if the wolfberries come up from Ningxia, the other places are not good to look at."

Shui Xiu listened carefully and said, "Yes, the slave has written it down, and I will go to the Internal Affairs Office later." ”

Seeing that Ling Ruo had been ignoring herself, Xiao Ningzi was angry and angry, but she couldn't do it, so she could only deliberately raise her voice and say, "The slave asks Concubine Xi for her mother." ”

This sentence finally pulled Ling Ruo's gaze back, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, is Gonggong Ning still here, this palace also said that you have already gone back, what else is the matter?" ”

Xiao Ningzi reluctantly smiled and said: "Don't dare to hide Concubine Xi's mother, Gonggong Fu disappeared last night, and the slaves can't be found, I want to ask Niangniang, I don't know if I have seen him, and if he has come?" ”

Ling Ruodai raised her eyebrows, and said forgively: "Father-in-law Ning's words are so strange, Sanfu is a slave in the queen's palace, you can just look for him if he is gone, ask what the palace is doing, can the palace still hide him?" ”

Xiao Ningzi lowered his voice and said: "The slave didn't dare, but he didn't find a lot of them, so he dared to ask Niangniang." ”

Ling Ruo smiled and didn't answer, but Shui Xiu next to him said: "Father-in-law Ning's words are strange, even if Father-in-law Fu is gone, then there is something to do, and he will naturally come back when he finishes his errands, what are you looking for him to do in such a hurry." ”

Xiao Ningzi was also secretly speculating about whether Ling Ruo knew about the affair between Lu Dao Sanfu and Jade, if she knew Lu Dao, in the face of this kind of thing, she should not cover up, otherwise she would not be asking for trouble.

If this is the case, then he can reveal a little bit of the matter, in case Sanfu is really here, he can force her to hand it over, and besides, this matter must not be hidden, after all, it is the two most powerful people around the queen who are disposed of, and the private affair will have to be poked out sooner or later.

After thinking about it like this, he pretended to be distressed and said: "I don't dare to hide my mother, my father-in-law Fu was confused for a while and had an affair with Aunt Jade, and after being discovered by the queen's mother, he was scared, so he escaped from Kunning Palace overnight." Now the queen is angry, and she ordered the slave to take Gonggong Fu back to dispose of it. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ling Ruo looked surprised, seeing that Xiao Ningzi couldn't tell the truth from the false, he said even more in his mouth: "Father-in-law Fu is really bold, knowing that the palace does not allow people in the palace to marry vegetable households, he still knowingly commits a crime, no wonder he wants to escape." It's just that now the queen is recuperating from her injuries, if the injury is aggravated by anger because of this incident, what can be done? ”

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ningzi couldn't help but mutter, could it be that Concubine Xi really didn't take in Sanfu?

Thinking like this, he only heard Ling Ruo say: "No, this palace has to go and take a look, let the queen take care of the phoenix body, don't be too angry." ”

When Xiao Ningzi heard this, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Niangniang, the queen's injury has not healed, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to see outsiders." ”

Concubine Xi has always been against her master everywhere, she passed at this time, and there would be nothing good for Zhun Bao, and besides, the master was not in the mood to see her.

Ling Ruo stared at the hand that stopped in front of him, and said coldly: "This palace and the queen mother were friends when they were still in the mansion, and they have been sisters for more than 20 years, how can they be said to be outsiders, get out of the way!" ”

"This, Niangniang......" Xiao Ningzi was still about to say, Ling Ruo had already lowered his face and said, "Don't let this palace say it a second time!" ”

Xiao Ningzi finally didn't dare to clash with Ling Ruo head-on, after hesitating for a moment, he retracted his hand, and followed her out of the main hall, when he stepped over the threshold, he saw the figure next to him flash, and looked a little like Sanfu, and suddenly came to the spirit, could it be that Sanfu is really hiding here?

"Master." Seeing the figure flashing, it was not only Xiao Ningzi, but also Yang Hai, and from his angle, he could even see that Sanfu was hiding behind a door at the moment, and hurriedly reminded Ling Ruo.

Ling Ruo nodded slightly, but did not make any move, allowing Xiao Ningzi to pretend to walk inadvertently towards Sanfu's hideout.

After Sanfu settled in Xiao Zhengzi's room, because he was worried about the safety of Jade, he couldn't sleep at all, and he sat down until dawn, and in the process of waiting for Ling Ruo's summons, he heard a commotion in the front hall, and one of them sounded like Xiao Ningzi, and he couldn't hold back and sneaked out, wanting to find out about the situation, especially on Jade's side, even if it was just a few words, as long as he could confirm that Jadeite was still good.
