Chapter 326: Take the initiative
Zhao Yuanbai didn't mention the matter of King Qing to Su Ning'er again, and looked at her with a happy face, as if something good had happened.
He said with a smile: "After the coffin of Mrs. Zhou is buried tomorrow, we will go home early." ”
Su Ning'er didn't know why he suddenly became so happy, and wondered: "What's wrong with Husband, why did you suddenly think about going home?" ”
Zhao Yuanbai stared at her meaningfully, but pretended to be mysterious, and didn't talk to her in detail, but said playfully and simply: "Of course you have to go back to the house earlier, doesn't Madame miss our Ning Yuan?" ”
Seeing that he was starting to lose his mind again, Suning'er glanced at him angrily, stood up and prepared to go out: "There will be a funeral tomorrow, I'll go to the mourning hall to see Ah Xiang and Ah Que." ”
Zhao Yuanbai stopped her, sat back on the edge of the tea table, and said solemnly: "Tonight, the mourning hall has to do something, how inappropriate it is for you to go over again while pregnant, your sister, her complexion is much better today, don't worry about her anymore." ”
Suning'er was just a joke, and he didn't really want to go over, just because he didn't want to see him hang on to him.
Since he said this, Suning'er no longer insisted, sat down quietly, and thought about it before saying to him: "At present, the situation in Beijing has reached a tense situation, and the husband and the saint should be cautious. ”
Zhao Yuanbai's face turned pale, and his originally pleasant face immediately became gloomy: "Why did Madam suddenly mention this matter again?" ”
Suning'er pretended to be calm and explained: "Wen Jiqing came over today, I always feel that he noticed something, the saint has been on the throne for a year, but the husband has not been appointed by the saint, Wen Jiqing has served several generations of kings, he knows the relationship between the husband and the saint well, and now the courtiers who are valued by the saint are either missing for no reason or being released, I am afraid that Wen Jiqing has already been on guard against the husband." ”
"Madame, do you mean that Wen Jiqing already knows about the saint's secret meeting with me when he left the palace?"
Zhao Yuanbai looked at her with a suspicious expression.
Suning'er couldn't let him know that all this was the news delivered by King Qing, so she had to think about it and nodded, and said uncertainly: "I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise think about it, why did he appoint you to clean up the salt affairs in Jiangnan." ”
At this point, Su Ning'er suddenly paused, and didn't dare to say the words pressed in her throat.
But looking at Zhao Yuanbai's still suspicious eyes, she was afraid that this stunned young man would involve King Qing, and hurriedly said: "And the husband will definitely go to Guangzhou Port when he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, and the husband should know that the situation over there is more complicated." ”
"Indeed", Zhao Yuanbai nodded: "In the past few days, I have heard that many Silla maids and Kunlun slaves have poured into Kyoto, and it seems that they have all come from the five prefectures of Lingnan. ”
"So the husband must be cautious."
Su Ning'er cautiously reminded, for fear that he would delve into the details from him.
Zhao Yuanbai raised his eyes to look at her, his expression suddenly became a little complicated, a pair of warm eyes looked at her for a long time, and said confusedly: "I didn't expect Madam to stay in the house all day, and she knows things outside quite thoroughly." ”
"Women are naturally very sensitive, and many things do not need to be deliberately understood, and they can also gain insight into the hidden crises behind them."
Suning'er boasted seriously.
Zhao Yuanbai didn't doubt it, but nodded in disbelief.
After pondering for a while, he faced Sun Ning'er again, and asked with a strange expression: "I'm afraid that the one in Qingwangfu is still waiting in the side hall, right?" ”
"Really, Frost?"
Suning'er turned her head sideways and glanced at Frost.
Shuang'er reacted faster than ever, and immediately said in a firm tone: "His Royal Highness King Qing has left the mansion." ”
"It seems that he is not as brazen as I thought."
Zhao Yuanbai poured a glass of water on the table and drank it, and then said to Sun Ning'er with confidence: "Madam, the house is noisy tonight, don't go out, let the two girls serve you and rest early, and I will accompany Su Erniang and Ah Que to send the coffin to the mausoleum tomorrow and come back to pick you up." ”
Suning'er responded lightly, and saw him hurrying towards the outer courtyard.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was concealed from him, it was a white lie after all.
She didn't want to quarrel with him over that.
The most important thing is that she must now take the initiative and start looking for ironclad evidence of Wen Jiqing's collusion with Yaxing.
Zhou's good man died of illness in the mansion, and the two girls Hui'er and Alai have not been heard from so far, and they don't know whether they died or escaped.
How to start, Suninger also seemed at a loss at the moment.
She didn't know who she could rely on to help her investigate the matter, she couldn't tell the saint, and she couldn't cause the Beiya party to notice, so the matter could only be carried out secretly.
But how strong Wen Jiqing and Yaxing's power were, she really couldn't guess, so she said that the Shence Army camp stationed on the side of the porcelain kiln, if she wanted to get in, it was very difficult for her to rely on herself.
Thinking about it, she could only think of His Royal Highness King Xi and King Qing.
Neither of these people is involved in the affairs of the court, and it is not easy to arouse Wen Jiqing's detection.
Thinking like this, she called Yin Xiu in.
"Yin Xiu, can you be sure that the person you saw that day is the bandit who participated in the robbery of the Silla royal family?"
She stared at Yin Xiu and asked very seriously.
Yin Xiu gritted his teeth and nodded heavily: "Slave maid dare to be sure, these bandits caused His Royal Highness King Xi to almost lose his life, and caused my Silla royal family's caravan to suffer heavy losses, even if that person turns into a gray slave, he can recognize it." ”
"Okay, Yin Xiu, I'll give you one thing", Su Ning'er said: "In the future, you don't have to follow me every day to serve, after returning home tomorrow, you can pick a few powerful helpers in Ningyuan, and secretly go to the Su family's porcelain kiln to visit the movements in the camp of the Shence Army." ”
"The slave and maid receive the order", Yin Xiu did not hesitate to directly respond to the errand.
Suning'er couldn't help but tighten her face when she answered so crisply.
But after thinking about it, she could also guess that Yin Xiu probably wanted to investigate and deal with the forces behind the human tooth case as soon as possible.
His Royal Highness King Xi treats her so affectionately and righteously, and she also hopes to do her best to help him find out the real culprit.
Therefore, Suning'er was very calm about Yin Xiu's reaction, and said deeply: "Yin Xiu, you must remember to pay attention to protect yourself, don't reveal your whereabouts, this matter is widely implicated, and if you are not careful, it will lead to death, and it will not only be a Shilla caravan that will die at that time." ”
Yin Xiu naturally understood the weight of this matter, no less dangerous than a power struggle, and even more terrifying.
She could neither harm the Silla caravan nor involve Suning'er, and replied in a firm and powerful tone: "Please rest assured, Madame, the slave maid must remember Madame's words and will be extra careful." ”
After hesitating, she immediately added: "In case of distress, the slaves and sisters will never affect the lady if they swear to death." ”
Suning'er believes in their loyalty, but she doesn't want Yin Xiu and Xilian to have any mistakes.
stepped forward and held Yin Xiu's hand tightly, and Suning'er said earnestly: "Yin Xiu, I don't want to see any mistakes from any of you. ”
Yin Xiu stared at her, was silent for a long time, shook his body heavily, and walked out of the room quickly.
