Chapter 428: The Queen is suspicious
Her eyes grew redder as she thought back to the hardships she had been through all this time. I didn't feel anything at the time, but now that I saw Xiao Rin, those suppressed grievances and fears poured out, maybe because only in front of Xiao Rin, she was able to remove those strong disguises.
Jing Ning's tears fell like beads with broken threads, Xiao Rin felt distressed for a while, he knew how difficult it was for Jing Ning since he left, not only to help him protect the General's Mansion, but also to deal with all forces, just thinking about it made him feel heartache, he couldn't imagine how Jing Ning's thin shoulders could bear that.
"Don't cry, I'm back, I'll take care of you, and I'll leave the future to me." Xiao Rin sighed softly and hugged Jing Ning into his arms, and kept patting her on the back gently for comfort.
Jing Ning sobbed and nodded, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Jing Ning hurriedly pushed Xiao Rin away, she looked at the wardrobe on the side, and gave Xiao Rin a look. Xiao Rin immediately understood, and hid in the closet with a dodge.
Jing Ning wiped away the tears on his face, slightly hooked his lips and pulled out a faint smile. She pushed the door open, and it turned out to be the Queen.
"I don't know if it's the queen's mother, the courtiers are far away, and I ask the queen's mother to forgive me." Jing Ning saluted the queen and turned sideways to make way for the queen.
"Why are the young lady's eyes so red? Could it be that Fang just cried? The queen noticed that Jing Ning's dark color was not quite right, and immediately raised her eyebrows and asked.
Jing Ning was a little flustered in her heart, but she said with a pale face: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtier's daughter just remembered her husband who was far away at the border, and she couldn't help crying for a while, but at this time, the queen mother smiled." ”
The queen nodded knowingly, and she sat down at the table, a little confused flashing in her phoenix eyes from time to time. Jing Ning bit her lip and looked at the wardrobe on the side, she said softly: "I don't know what happened to the queen?" ”
The wardrobe is not too big, but Xiao Rin is tall, it will be uncomfortable to hide in it, Jing Ning is worried that Xiao Rin will not be able to help but make a sound after a long time, and if the queen mother finds out that he returned to the capital without authorization, it will inevitably be another trouble. So at this time, Jing Ning only hoped that the queen would leave quickly.
"What kind of person does the emperor see as you see him?" The queen seemed to hesitate a little, and finally made up her mind to smell it.
Jing Ning was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't expect the queen to ask her this question, she and Zhao Yu are not familiar with each other, what does the queen mean by this?
"The courtiers think that the emperor is a generous person, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his intelligence and strategy are far beyond others, and he is really the pride of the sky." Jing Ning wanted to say a few more good words to make the queen happy, and let her leave earlier, but she really couldn't think of any other advantages of Zhao Yu.
The queen frowned when she heard this, she sighed and said, "This palace doesn't want to hear you say this, do you think the emperor has been different from the past few days?" ”
Jing Ning remembered the scene when she met Zhao Yu almost instantly, and she was a little hesitant not to know whether to tell the queen what had just happened. If the queen is dissatisfied, I don't know what will happen.
The queen also seemed to see the uneasiness in Jing Ning's heart, she frowned and said, "You say yes, this palace forgives you for your innocence." ”
"I just saw the emperor when I was playing chess with Miss Cai, probably because I have been a little busy in recent days, the emperor's figure doesn't seem to be as tall as before, and his thoughts seem to be a little trance, when Miss Cai calls the emperor's cousin today, the emperor seems to be a little stunned." Jing Ning was looking forward to the queen leaving quickly, and he didn't want to think about it for a while, so he simply said everything he had doubts. After she finished speaking, she stood quietly to the side, waiting for the queen to speak.
After hearing this, the queen's brows furrowed a little tighter, and she faintly felt that something was wrong on the day Zhao Yu ascended the throne, in the past, the smile on Zhao Yu's face when he saw her would not be as false as that of others, but in recent days, Zhao Yu came to greet him every day, but it seemed like he had to come.
Although it was not obvious, the queen could still tell that he was a little restless, and seemed to be desperate to leave.
The queen thought that she was thinking too much, but after she asked the imperial dining room, the doubts in her heart became more and more serious, she remembered that Zhao Yu did not like spicy food since she was a child, and the meals on the table were basically not spicy, but in recent days, the meals prepared in the imperial dining room were spicy, but Zhao Yu did not say anything, which made the queen's heart a little uneasy.
She glanced at Jing Ning, and said in a slightly low tone: "This palace doesn't want a third person to know about this matter, and you'd better forget about it." ”
Jing Ning nodded hurriedly and said, "Please rest assured that Jing Ning has not seen the queen today." ”
Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, she naturally wouldn't talk about such things everywhere, but she couldn't guarantee that no third person would know, after all, Xiao Rin was still hiding in the closet at this time.
Seeing this, the queen nodded with satisfaction, and after a few casual words with Jing Ning, she returned to her bedroom with a worried face. Jing Ning estimated that the queen should have gone away, she immediately closed the door, and as soon as she turned around, she was hugged into Xiao Rin's arms again.
"Go home quickly, if someone finds out that you are in the palace, it will definitely cause a storm." Although Jing Ning was reluctant, for the sake of Xiao Rin's safety, he still urged him to leave the palace.
Xiao Rin shook his head, and he said with a firm gaze: "I have been living in the palace to protect you for the past few days, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Does Daddy know about this?" Jing Ning thought of Father Xiao's serious face, and his eyes flashed slightly.
Xiao Rin had a little embarrassment on his face, he didn't tell his father about it, otherwise according to General Xiao's temperament, Xiao Rin would definitely lose a layer of skin.
Jing Ning looked at Xiao Rin's expression and knew that Father Xiao didn't know about this, she sighed helplessly and said: "This matter not only involves you and me, if someone with a heart uses this matter to slander the General's Mansion, what if it arouses the emperor's suspicion?" ”
Xiao Rin also frowned when he heard this, he knew that he was reckless this time and didn't take these problems into account, but he just wanted to stay by Jing Ning's side at this time.
"Ning'er is so ruthless to drive me away." Xiao Rin's eyebrows were lowered, and her tough face showed a bit of grievance.
Seeing this, Jing Ning couldn't help but laugh, she stretched out her finger and nodded Xiao Rin's forehead, and a few red and gorgeous finger prints suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"That's it, you stay here today, but you must leave tomorrow." Jing Ning sighed and finally took a step back, after all, she also missed Xiao Rin very much in her heart, and naturally couldn't bear to really push him away this time.
Xiao Rin chuckled when he heard this, and his starry eyes stared at Jing Ning tightly, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
